We manage individuals’ assets to help them meet their financial goals. We manage money on a discretionary basis and non-discretionary basis. Every client agrees to an investment policy statement which the client helps us formulate; this acts as a blueprint for managing the client’s account. We manage to goals, and not for performance. We are not brokers. We do not engage in financial planning. We do not sell products. Cascade was founded in 1997 by Michelle Rand, who is the principal owner. We have seven employees. Four are administrative staff, and three are professional staff. All three professional staff earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. The CFA designation does not imply approval by any regulatory body. See ADV Part 2B for information on the CFA designation. Our regulatory assets under management as of December 31, 2025 were approximately $360,420,745, of which $336,675,436 was held in discretionary accounts and $23,745,309 in non-discretionary. Item 5: Fees and Compensation Account Value Annual Fee Under $1 million -a 0.95% of assets Between $500k and $1million and with us for over 5 years (tested for value each April 30) 0.90% of assets Accounts over $1 million 0.85% of assets on the first $2 million; 0.70% on the next $3 million $5 million and above Negotiable Bond portfolios Negotiable a- Applies only to household accounts worth less than $1 million; all accounts over $1 million will have a maximum fee rate of 0.85%. Note that in accordance with the section titled “Terms of this Agreement”, we may terminate account relationships that fall below $200,000 for balanced accounts or $100,000 for equity accounts if you cannot add funds to bring accounts up to those levels. 4 A one-time administrative charge of $300 will be charged to accounts that must be re- papered. This could occur if the security of your account has been compromised requiring us to close your existing account at the custodian to open a new one. Related accounts are aggregated to determine the annual fee. Fees are calculated on the average account balance each calendar quarter and billed in arrears. This is calculated by adding the beginning market value to the ending market value and dividing by 2, then multiplying by the applicable fee percentage listed above. One quarter of the annual fee is charged each quarter. Fees are prorated if the account was not under management for the entire quarter. Fees can be billed directly to the client or debited from the client’s custodial account as requested by the client. We make every attempt to customize our fees to special situations. For instance, if you hold a security at a low cost basis that we will likely not sell, we may exclude it from the fee calculation. Commissions are paid to a broker or your custodian and not the investment manager. Other fees charged by your custodian may apply. Please refer to Item 12 entitled “Brokerage Practices” for more information on Cascade’s selection of brokers. Other fee arrangements may be made by petition to the firm; and the firm may also choose to alter the client's fee as it benefits the circumstances of the client relationship upon notice, verbal or written, to the client. If a client terminates the relationship, Cascade will immediately cease activity in your account and deduct our final fee. Cascade will not be responsible for liquidating the account. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management We do not charge performance fees. Item 7: Types of Clients We manage money for individuals who range in age from minors to elderly; our clients live all over the United States; some live in, or are citizens of, other countries. We have no minimum account size, but portfolios need to be large enough to allow us to use our best ideas, accomplish diversification, and achieve your goals. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss In order to make investment decisions we investigate company fundamentals, historical valuation relationships, interest rate trends, and economic trends. We make judgments 5 based on our experience as to the future potential of asset returns based on our analysis of these factors. We are value investors, which means we prefer to pay low prices for assets as compared to the return that we believe those assets are able to generate. Investments that we choose may lose money. We do not guarantee any returns. All investment portfolios are subject to risk which clients should be prepared to bear. Below is a description of the principal risks that clients face in their investment portfolio. Equity Market Risks. Cascade generally invests portions of client assets directly into equity investments, primarily stocks. These risks include, without limitation, the risks that stock values will decline due to daily fluctuations in the markets, and that stock values will decline over longer periods (e.g., bear markets) due to general market declines in the stock prices for all companies, regardless of any individual security’s prospects. Fixed Income Risks. Cascade may invest portions of client assets directly into fixed income instruments, such as bonds and notes. While investing in fixed income instruments is generally less volatile than investing in stock (equity) markets, fixed income investments nevertheless are subject to risks. These risks include, without limitation, interest rate risks (risks that changes in interest rates will devalue the investments), credit risks (risks of default by borrowers), or maturity risk (risks that bonds or notes will change value from the time of issuance to maturity). Item 9: Disciplinary Information None. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations None of our employees engage in any financial industry activity other than employment at our firm. One of our clients owns a company that manages real estate partnerships and we will advise other clients who are invested in those same partnerships. Clients, except for one, make their own decisions about investing in these funds. David Schue and Michelle Rand also own interests in these partnerships. A conflict of interest may arise from this as we could recommend these funds to our clients which might benefit our own interest. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Cascade Investment Advisors, Inc. has adopted the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and personal trading disclosures prescribed by the SEC. Every employee reads the code and 6 agrees to abide by it. Management keeps a copy of the code signed by each employee on file. For a copy of our Code of Ethics you can contact us by using the contact information found on the cover of this brochure. Employees of Cascade may buy the same assets when clients are buying, or sell those assets when clients are buying, depending on the individual’s own particular investment objective. The same applies to clients selling. Trading policies are disclosed annually and in documents signed by the client at the outset of the manager relationship. On any purchase or sale of a stock for clients where the average daily trading volume is less than 100,000 shares, employees must wait until all client trades are executed before making their own purchases or sales. Management reviews employee brokerage statements. On any trade, employees may receive a better or worse price than any client. Item 12: Brokerage Practices Brokerage selection: Brokers are selected based on their execution policies and knowledge of particular markets, such as municipal bonds, that can benefit our clients. We test brokers annually as to best execution, which describes how that broker routes orders, whether the broker executes at a fair price, and whether the broker provides special knowledge of the subject market. Brokers are paid commissions by our clients when transactions are made. We generally recommend to clients they use Charles Schwab &Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) as their qualified custodian. Cascade does not participate in any formalized soft dollar arrangements. However, we do receive research and trading related products and services from Schwab, which we take into consideration when reviewing for best execution. Sometimes when trades are made, we buy in blocks and assign a portion of the block to each client. This is called block trading. Block trades can be cheaper to execute than individual trades. However, if we expect to buy a block of 10,000 shares and then our order is only partially filled during the trading day, so that the rest of the order must be executed the next day and maybe not at as favorable a price, we must decide who to allocate the first shares to. We allocate as follows: • If a buy, first to clients with cash to pay for the purchase. If a sell, first to clients needing cash. • • Buy or sell, prorata. Item 13: Review of Accounts Client accounts are reviewed annually on a formal basis, with a record of the review filed electronically. This review checks the asset allocation against the policy statement, checks the individual assets in the account for suitability given the client’s circumstances, 7 notes any unusual assets, and records any updates to client circumstances. Melissa Burton, Office Administrator conducts the basic review for all accounts. Each portfolio manager then provides client updates for accounts assigned to him or her. Other than the annual formal review, client contact occurs frequently, depending on client needs, and review of assets occurs every trading day. We will provide you written quarterly statements showing the assets in your account, cost, income rate, and current market value at quarter end. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation No compensation is paid to others to provide Cascade with referrals to potential clients. Item 15: Custody Cascade only has custody of your funds to the extent that the SEC defines “having custody” as allowing us to deduct funds from your account to pay your fees, which are paid in arrears, not in advance. We review your asset statements from Schwab as needed. We track and confirm that statement copies are posted monthly on the Schwab website. Cascade urges our clients to compare the statements provided by Schwab to the quarterly reports provided by Cascade (as discussed within the section entitled Account Reviews). Item 16: Investment Discretion Clients of Cascade sign an investment management agreement with Cascade granting us investment discretion. That means we can make purchase and sale decisions on your behalf. The only limitations we routinely accept on this authority relate to specific assets you may not want us to own for you, such as tobacco-related issues, or other issues you find unacceptable; and when you would like us to hold cash for your own purposes in your account. Other exceptions may be negotiated with us, as manager. Item 17: Voting Client Securities You may choose to have proxies issued by your securities voted by us instead of voting them yourself. We vote issues considering shareholders’ interests first, which means we do not always vote for management. If you would like to see how we voted a certain proxy, you can make a request in writing for our voting record for that issue. If there is a material conflict of interest, we will either refrain from voting or request your input. Our proxy voting policies and procedures are also available to clients upon request. If you elect to vote your own proxies, you will receive your proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent and contact them for additional information. 8 Chicago Clearing Corp. (CCC) is a company that provides class action monitoring and securities claim filing services. We utilize their services on our client’s behalf. They charge a fee against payments collected. Clients can choose to “opt out” of these services. Item 18: Financial Information There are no adverse material financial factors affecting our firm that would also affect the management of your assets. Cascade does not collect more than $1,200 in management fees in advance for services greater than 6 months. Our management fees are billed quarterly. Cascade has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition. 9 ADV Part 2B Supplement Contacts for your account at Cascade Investment Advisors, Inc: Michelle Rand 503.417.1950 971.381.0426 Michelle.Rand@cascadeinvestors.com David Schue 503.417.1950 David.Schue@cascadeinvestors.com Warren Hastings 503.417.1950 Warren.Hastings@cascadeinvestors.com Firm information: 503 High Street Oregon City, OR 97045 Fax 503.427.7827 Phone 503.417.1950 February 2026 This brochure supplement provides information about Michelle Rand, David Schue, and Warren Hastings and supplements the Cascade Investment Advisors, Inc.
