We also provide portfolio management services to registered investment companies and model portfolio advice to third-party investment platforms. Our investment advisory services are provided in accordance with the strategies described in of this brochure. As of December 31, 2024, we managed $496,594,210 on a discretionary basis and no assets on a non- discretionary basis. We also had assets under advisement of $225,692,675 in Model Portfolio Programs. SERVICES PROVIDED Separately Managed Account (“SMA”) Services LPG provides investment management services to clients through separately managed accounts (“SMAs”). An SMA is a portfolio of individual securities managed on your behalf. This can provide a level of ownership, control and transparency not available in mutual funds, exchange traded funds or other pooled investment vehicles. SMA Services for Direct Clients We provide portfolio management services to individuals and entities that come to us directly for investment management (“Direct Clients”). We manage and monitor their investment portfolios and periodically contact them to discuss their investments and financial situation. We do not offer asset allocation or financial planning services. A principal of LPG is available to meet with you to discuss and describe our management style. Specifically, we focus on value investing and primarily seek to invest in stocks that have demonstrated an attractive return on capital with a history of generating free cash flow. Once we both agree that this investment style is suitable or remains suitable for your financial situation, you will determine the proportion of your assets to be managed in this manner. To implement your investment portfolio, we will manage your portfolio on a discretionary basis. As a discretionary investment adviser, we will have the authority to supervise and direct the portfolio without prior consultation with you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may impose certain written restrictions on us in the management of your investment portfolio, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of investments in an investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in the account at the commencement of the relationship. You should note, however, that if you impose restrictions, it may adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment portfolio. You should also note that your investment portfolio is treated individually by considering each purchase or sale for your account. For these and other reasons, performance of client investment portfolios within the same investment objectives, goals and/or risk tolerance may differ, and you should not expect that the Page 3 composition or performance of your investment portfolio would necessarily be consistent with those of our similar clients. Retirement Plan and IRA Account Rollovers: We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We must act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. If we recommend that you roll over your retirement assets into an account to be managed by us, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if we will earn a new (or increase our current) advisory fee because of the rollover. Investing in an IRA with us will typically be more expensive than an employer-sponsored retirement plan. You are under no obligation to roll over plan assets to an IRA managed by us or to engage us to monitor and/or manage the account while maintained at your employer. SMA Services Through Sub-Advisory Arrangements Other registered investment advisers and investment professionals (the “Primary Advisers”) may recommend or hire us to manage your assets. In these arrangements, we will implement and manage an investment strategy in your account; however, we do not serve as your Primary Adviser. The Primary Adviser will retain direct contact with you and will manage the client relationship. We may contract directly with the Primary Adviser to provide investment advisory services, or alternatively, depending on the contractual arrangement you have with the Primary Adviser, we may enter into an advisory contract directly with you. We will have exclusive investment discretion as to which securities shall be purchased or sold in your sub-advised account in a manner consistent with your selected product, investment objectives, policies and restrictions (if any) and the capabilities of the broker-dealer. In order to determine whether the strategy is suitable for you, the Primary Adviser and you are responsible for ascertaining the goals and objectives of the portfolio in question. It is the responsibility of the Primary Adviser and/or you to promptly notify us of any changes in your financial condition that would necessitate a change in your investment objective. Page 4 Mutual Fund We serve as the investment adviser to the Lone Peak Value Fund (the “Fund”), a mutual fund offered by an open-end management investment company, the World Funds Trust. Please see the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) for the Fund for additional disclosures relating to the Fund. Prior to making any investment in the Fund, you should carefully review these documents for a comprehensive understanding of the terms and conditions applicable for investment. This disclosure brochure is designed solely to provide information about LPG and should not be considered an offer of interest in the Fund. Model Portfolio Programs 1 We offer model portfolios for a fee to Model Delivery and Unified Managed Account (UMA) Program Program sponsors use our model portfolios to assist with determining the sponsors’ sponsors. investment recommendations and managing their clients’ accounts. Program clients are clients of the Program sponsor, not LPG. Each program sponsor provides individualized investment advice and portfolio management services to its clients and may or may not decide to implement all of our recommendations as to the securities to be held within an account. When engaged by a program sponsor, we construct a model portfolio in accordance with the LPG investment strategy selected by the sponsor. Our recommendations to the Programs may differ from recommendations made to other client accounts. We provide the program sponsor with our recommendations as to the securities to be purchased, sold and held from time to time, as well as the percentage of the model portfolio that would be invested in each security. In general, material 1 A Model Delivery Program account holds the securities associated with a single investment manager in a unique custodial account at the Sponsor Firm. A UMA typically holds multiple investment strategies in the same custodial account. Page 5 Item 12 changes in a model portfolio will not be communicated to model program sponsors until completion of aggregated trading for LPG’s discretionary clients. As a result, the program sponsor sometimes will not achieve the same execution quality, price or timing. Depending on the particular circumstances surrounding an order, our discretionary clients will sometimes receive prices that are more favorable than those received by a client of a program sponsor although, in some cases, our discretionary client’s trades could experience less favorable executions. Please refer to for more information regarding the communication and delivery of a model to program sponsors. Item 5 - Fees and Compensation Item 4 Item 12 General Fee Information Generally, fees paid to us are exclusive of all custodial and transaction costs paid to your custodian, brokers or other third-party consultants. Please see and for additional information. To the extent that client assets may be invested in shares of non-LPG-related investment companies (e.g., mutual funds), these assets are included in calculating the value of an account for purposes of computing our fees and are also subject to additional advisory and other fees and expenses as set forth in the prospectuses or offering memoranda of those investment companies, which are paid by the investment companies, but ultimately borne by investors. For client assets invested in the LPG mutual fund, and for which we serve as the adviser, these assets are excluded in calculating the value of an account for the purpose of computing our fees. Clients in certain international and global strategies incur fees and costs associated with the purchase of non-U.S. securities in ordinary form and conversion of such ordinary shares into ADRs. To the extent that we purchase non-U.S. ordinary shares and arrange for such shares to be converted into ADRs, client accounts will incur certain fees and costs associated with the conversion. Such fees and costs may be attributable to local broker fees, stamp fees, and local taxes, and are generally included in the net price of the ADR. We use our portfolio reporting system to generate the account values upon which our asset-based fees are calculated. The method of accounting is slightly different between the custodian’s and our portfolio reporting systems. Therefore, at times there may be small differences between the values reported by LPG and the custodian due to the timing of dividend and accrued interest reporting, trades that have not yet settled into the account, and other similar issues. Clients are encouraged to let us know if they have questions regarding the calculation of their advisory fees. Either party may terminate the Agreement at any time, subject to any written notice requirements in the agreement. In the event of termination, any paid but unearned fees will be promptly refunded to you based on the number of days that the account was managed, and any fees due to us from you will be invoiced or deducted from your account prior to termination. Fees for Separately Managed Account (“SMA”) Services LPG’s fees for SMA services are individually negotiated and range up to 1.10% of assets under management and the minimum account size is $5 million. In some cases, a tiered fee schedule may apply (i.e., different asset levels are assessed their own specific fee rates). We consider various factors when negotiating an advisory fee, including, but not limited to, amount of assets under management, related accounts, anticipated future earning capacity, and anticipated future additional assets, etc. Page 6 LPG will also, in its sole discretion, charge lower management fees or waive account minimums based on certain criteria. We may charge lower fees for accounts pursuant to other consulting or sub- advisory arrangements in which broker-dealers, investment advisers, trust companies and other providers of financial services typically provide clients with services that complement or supplement our services. Therefore, some clients will pay more or less than other clients for the same management services. We reserve the right to revise our advisory fee schedule from time to time. As new fee schedules are put into effect, they are applicable to new clients and the fee schedules already agreed to with existing clients are not typically changed. Clients are subject to the fee set forth in their Investment Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”), unless amended by us and the client. Portfolio management fees are generally payable quarterly, in arrears, based on the value of the account at the end of the quarter. Fees are typically prorated for deposits of $100,000 or more during the billing quarter. We generally do not adjust for partial withdrawals during the quarter. If management begins after the start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. With your authorization and unless other arrangements are made, fees are normally debited directly from your account(s). Custodial and transaction costs are separate and additional to our fees. Additional Fee information for Sub-Advisory Clients Sub-Advisory clients, there are typically three components that comprise the Sub-Advisory For Client’s fee/pricing structure: the Primary Adviser’s management fee, our management fee, and the broker-dealer’s fee for brokerage and custody services. Payment arrangements, including the timing (in advance or arears), frequency (monthly or quarterly, proration of asset flows (deposits and withdrawals), and billing procedures (invoicing or deduction of fees), will be agreed upon by us and the Primary Adviser and may differ from those set forth above. The specific manner in which advisory fees are charged by us will be established in the Primary Adviser’s agreement with us, as applicable to each arrangement. Mutual Fund Fees Fees for the Fund are described in the Fund’s Prospectus, which are paid directly from the Fund. Fees include management fees (paid to LPG) and other expenses (including shareholder service fees). Additionally, brokerage commissions, as well as other transactions or fund-related expenses are paid out of each respective fund. The Fund’s Investor Share Class is also subject to a short-term redemption fee if redeemed within 60 days of purchase. See the Prospectus for all fee details. Page 7 The Fund has multiple class structures. The class structures represent the same underlying investments. Only the Investor Share Class pays a 12b-1 fee shareholder service fee. The higher expenses associated with the Investor Share Class will reduce an investor’s return overtime. A portion of the 12b-1 fees could be paid to us by the Funds’ distributor for reimbursement of marketing and distribution services. This could incentivize us to recommend the Investor Share Class. To mitigate this conflict, we have implemented policies and procedures that require us to invest in the most beneficial mutual fund share class for our clients. section for more information. Other Financial As noted above, the value of the Fund is excluded from the value of the assets for the calculation of Industry Activities and Affiliations the management fees when your managed account holds the Fund. Please see the Fees for Model Portfolio Delivery Programs We charge a fee to each sponsor of a model delivery/UMA Program that enters into a contract to use a LPG model portfolio to assist in the management of the sponsor’s client accounts. We typically charge program sponsors an annual percentage fee based on the assets under management using a particular investment strategy. The amount of the fee is negotiated between us and the sponsor and may vary depending on several factors, including the number of model portfolios that the sponsor is purchasing and the total assets under management for the sponsor. Other Activities Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Some of LPG’s Investment Adviser Representatives ("IARs") are licensed as agents with a broker- dealer. In such capacity, the IARs will discuss and offer the Fund to institutional clients and investment consultants. IARs receive compensation tied in part to their success in raising assets in the Fund and/or SMAs. Because IARs are paid more on Fund investments, they have an incentive to recommend the Fund over the SMAs. This presents a conflict of interest. LPG and its IARs have a fiduciary duty to exercise good faith and act solely in the best interest of clients when recommending investments to clients. LPG maintains policies and procedures, including a Code of Ethics which requires the interests of clients be placed ahead of other interests and portfolio management policies that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that clients are treated fairly over time to address these conflicts of interest. You have the option to purchase investment products that are recommended through other brokers or agents that are not affiliated with us. IARs do not earn commissions for sales of any financial products, including the Fund. We do not have any performance-based fee arrangements. “Side-by-Side Management” refers to a situation in which the same firm manages accounts that are billed based on a percentage of assets under management and at the same time manages other accounts for which fees are assessed on a performance fee basis. Item 7 - Types of Clients We serve individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, charitable organizations, other investment advisers, institutions, and registered investment companies. The minimum account size for SMA Services is $5,000,000. Under certain circumstances and in our sole discretion, we may negotiate our account minimum. We do not impose a minimum advisory fee. Minimum investment requirements for the Fund are set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus. Page 8 Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies We primarily invest in common stocks in our proprietary investment strategies. Most client investment accounts are invested in our primary equity strategy, the Lone Peak All-Cap Value Strategy. This investment strategy is described in detail below. We also offer other market-cap specific strategies, (e.g., Focused Small Cap Value, International Value) which are managed with a substantially similar process and investment philosophy but are limited to specific geographical or market capitalization requirements. Lone Peak All-Cap Value Strategy (the “Portfolio”) The Portfolio primarily consists of the common stock of companies of any size that we believe are 2 ,” to LPG’s estimated intrinsic value at the time of purchase trading at a discount, or “margin of safety and have the potential for capital appreciation with acceptable downside risks. We believe investing with a margin of safety may enhance the investment’s potential upside when our investment thesis is proven correct and may dampen the potential loss when the investment thesis is disproven. investments in high-quality companies with durable competitive advantages, We expect to predominantly invest in securities that trade on U.S. stock exchanges, potentially Dynamic Portfolio Mix of Core Value and Deep Value Stocks including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and other investment companies. • CORE VALUE STOCKS which represent over 50% of the Portfolio – • DEEP VALUE STOCKS – opportunistic investments in out-of-favor companies with deeply discounted share prices and asymmetric reward to risk ratios. These holdings, combined with residual cash, represent the remainder of the Portfolio, and will be less than 50%. CORE VALUE STOCKS We define Core Value stocks as high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages and long-term records of strong returns on capital. These companies tend to have stable and predictable cash flows as well as steady growth in the intrinsic value of their stock. We have identified about 130 Core Value businesses (the “Core Value List”) from which we select our Core Value investments. Prior to adding a security to the Core Value List, a company is subjected to our “10 Indicators of a Core Business” quantitative and qualitative review, summarized below: 1. Consistently high returns on equity over the last 10 years 2. Consistently high returns on assets over the last 10 years 3. Upward-trending net income 4. Manageable debt loads 5. Necessary and valuable products or services 2 “Margin of safety” is an important term used in value investing and is defined as the difference between a security’s price and its true worth (intrinsic value). When the market price of a security is significantly below its estimated intrinsic value, it can provide room for error in investing. However, estimating a security’s intrinsic value is a subjective determination that varies by investor. An investor’s estimate may not be correct; therefore, margin of safety does not guarantee a profitable investment or that a security is a “safe” investment. Page 9 6. Good employee relations 7. Pricing power 8. Low capital intensity 9. History of prudent capital allocation 10. History of upward-trending book value and share price We regularly review the Core Value List, searching for stocks that may potentially be trading at a discount to our estimates of intrinsic value. Prior to adding a Core Value Stock to the Portfolio, the investment must be deemed to have an expected annual rate of return of at least 8% more than current rates of inflation and generally has an estimated total return that is about three times greater than the estimated potential loss in an adverse scenario, based on our analysis. We intend to hold our Core Value positions for the long- term. DEEP VALUE STOCKS • We define Deep Value stocks as opportunistic investments in deeply discounted shares of businesses that do not meet the high requirements of a Core Value company. Deep Value investments are deemed by us to have high potential returns with acceptable downside risks. These investments may be considered traditional value stocks with low price multiples, and low near-term investor and analyst expectations. In screening for Deep Value positions, we use a variety of methods to identify potential investment opportunities, including: • Quantitative stock screens • Researching firms with weak recent or longer-term stock-price performance • Searching for companies and industries that are out of favor with investment analysts • Researching new firms to expand our knowledge base • Our personal network of investment professionals Publications from like-minded contrarian investors Prior to adding a Deep Value Stock to the Portfolio the investment must have a discount to our estimate of intrinsic value of at least 25%, and the potential total return must be at least three times greater than the estimated potential loss in an adverse scenario, based on our analysis. We intend to hold a Deep Value position until it reaches its estimated intrinsic value. CASH We expect cash to typically be less than 5% of the Portfolio. Cash weightings are generally a byproduct of Deep Value opportunities. When undervalued investment opportunities abound, we would expect to hold very little cash. Given our disciplined process of selling Deep Value stocks when they reach intrinsic value, cash may increase in a strong market as Deep Value stocks are sold while new opportunities are still being sought out. We may also utilize cash as the default position for portfolio capital when we do not find compelling investment ideas and individual portfolio holdings may be as large as we intend them to be. In those circumstances, we consider cash to be a prudent Investment Selection Process option to take advantage of future investment opportunities, which may be better than today’s. We believe most of our investment opportunities arise because of short-term oriented investor behavior, which differs from our research conclusions and our long-term investment philosophy. Common behaviors leading to these opportunities include but are not limited to: overreactions to Page 10 short-term results; economic worries leading to low expectations or panic selling; fear of increased competition; focus on one underperforming business line overshadowing other solid segments; frustration with slower growth rates as a business or its industry matures; worries that meaningful changes being undertaken by a company will be ineffective or take too long; fear that cyclical issues affecting a firm or its industry have become permanent. We use a disciplined “bottom-up” selection process using our own proprietary fundamental research that strives to identify equity securities of companies that appear to be selling at a discount relative to our assessment of their potential intrinsic value. As part of our process, we typically analyze SEC filings, company presentations, industry publications, other sources of publicly available fundamental information, and engage in discussions with the management teams of potential investment companies and their competitors when researching individual companies. Such a “bottom-up” security selection process also includes our proprietary evaluation of a company’s potential value using analysis techniques such as: normalized price multiples (including price to earnings, price to book value, and price to cash flow); estimated private market value; liquidation analysis; discounted cash flow analysis; and dividend discount models. Portfolio Characteristics The Portfolio is concentrated with a relatively small number of holdings. We believe that maintaining a relatively small number of holdings allows each security to have a meaningful impact on the Portfolio’s results. The number of securities held by the Portfolio may fluctuate at times such as when we are accumulating new positions, phasing out of existing positions, or responding to exceptional market conditions. We typically perform an additional review for any stock that declines 20% from its original purchase, or a stock that has declined by 20% over any 30-day period. We may reduce or sell our investment in a particular security if, in our opinion, a security’s fundamentals change substantially, its price appreciation leads to overvaluation in relation to our estimates of future earnings and cash flow Focused Small Cap Value Strategy growth, there are better opportunities with another security, or for other reasons. Focused Small Cap Value portfolios are invested in smaller cap stocks, following a strategy that combines high-quality (Core Value) stock investments, opportunistic (Deep Value) stock investments and cash, which is typically a byproduct of Deep Value trading activity. Core Value holdings represent over 50% of the portfolio, and Deep Value and cash holdings represent the remainder. We expect International Value Strategy cash to typically be less than 5% of the portfolio. International Value portfolios are invested primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. companies with 3 Core Value a market capitalization of USD $5 billion or greater at the time of original purchase. holdings 3 The Adviser considers an issuer to be non-U.S. based if: (1) the issuer is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than those of the U.S.; (2) the securities of the issuer have a primary listing on a stock exchange outside the U.S. regardless of the country in which the issuer is organized; or (3) the issuer derives 50% or more of its total revenue from goods and/or services produced or sold outside of the U.S. Page 11 represent over 50% of the portfolio. Deep Value and cash holdings represent the remainder. We expect cash to typically be less than 5% of the portfolio. Risk of Loss All investment portfolios are subject to risks. Identifying undervalued securities and other assets is difficult, and there are no assurances that such a strategy will succeed. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that your investment portfolio will be able to fully meet your investment objectives and goals, or that investments will not lose money. We may recommend that you invest in the Fund. Investment risks specific to the Fund’s investment strategies are described in the Fund’s prospectus and SAI. Below is a description of several of the principal risks that client investment portfolios face. Management Risks. While we manage your investment portfolio based on our experience, research and proprietary methods, the value of your investment portfolio will change daily based on the performance of the underlying securities in which it is invested. Accordingly, your investments are subject to the risk that we allocate your assets to individual securities and/or asset classes that are adversely affected by unanticipated market movements, and the risk that our specific investment choices could underperform their relevant indexes. Strategy Risks . Identifying undervalued securities and other assets is difficult, and there are no assurances that such a strategy will succeed. Any fair value estimates are subject to actual known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those we have projected. Portfolios will be more concentrated than an index fund and investors Page 12 should have a longer-term investment horizon. Investors should have the tolerance to be out-of-sync with the market during some short-term periods for the opportunity to achieve better longer-term results. A concentrated stock portfolio can lead to increased short-term volatility; and greater possibility of all or some principal loss, therefore, this product may not be appropriate for investors who prefer to mirror an index, prefer broader diversification, or who seek consistent income. Investing in the securities of small-cap and mid-cap companies generally involves substantially greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies. Deep value or out of favor stocks may also increase the potential loss of principal as well as result in greater portfolio volatility as compared to more traditional investment approaches. Risks of Investing in Common Stocks . Investing in the common stocks of publicly traded companies will expose investors to the risk that those investments may not perform as expected over the long- term and may fluctuate in price rapidly over the short-term. Many factors may affect the performance of a company’s stock price, including, but not limited to: (1) changing investor sentiment about a company’s future profitability, (2) changing demand for a company’s products or services, (3) changing regulatory environment, (4) increased competition, (5) technological obsolescence, or (6) poor financial or strategic decisions by company management. Short-term stock price declines can happen if a company’s reported earnings or revenues are less than expectations. Equity Market Risks. Investing in stocks and other equity securities subjects investors to the risks of the stock market. 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. Stocks associated with whole sectors or industries may move in tandem in reaction to events that directly or indirectly impact the costs or revenues, such as the effect of falling oil prices on the oil industry. This may cause your portfolio to decline more than the market as a whole. Small and Mid-Cap Company Risk . Investments in small-capitalization companies and mid- capitalization companies may involve additional risks, which may be relatively higher with smaller companies. These additional risks may result from limited product lines, earlier stages of development and lack of well-established businesses, more limited access to markets and financial resources, greater vulnerability to competition and market risks and fluctuations, lack of management depth, increased volatility in share price, and possible difficulties in valuing or selling these investments. Relative to the stocks of large capitalization companies, the stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies may be thinly traded, and sales may result in higher transaction costs. Also, small- and mid-capitalization companies may perform poorly during times of economic stress. Style, Size and Factor Risks . Many equity investment strategies seek to capture excess returns from investing in common stock that have certain attributes, such as company size (large-, mid- and small capitalization stocks), style (growth or value stocks), and factors (low volatility, momentum, quality). These strategies are cyclical in nature, going in and out of favor based upon investor preferences, sentiment and various market and economic conditions. For example, small-cap stocks may outperform large-cap stocks for a period of time, but they are generally more volatility. Similarly, growth stocks can outperform value stock for long periods of time, or vice versa. Concentrated Investment Risk . Strategies that hold concentrated stock positions will invest a larger portion of assets in the stock of a single issuer than a more diversified manager or index fund. This may subject the portfolio to more volatility related to company-specific risk (idiosyncratic risk), whereby investment theory would suggest that a more highly diversified portfolio can diversify away Page 13 most of that idiosyncratic risk. Thus, as economic, political, regulatory or managerial or other events impact individual companies, this may have a greater impact on the value of the portfolio than a more diversified portfolio. Risks of Investments in Mutual Funds. As described above, we invest client portfolios in mutual funds. Investments in mutual funds are generally less risky than investing in individual securities because of their diversified portfolios; however, these investments are still subject to risks associated with the markets in which they invest. In addition, mutual funds’ success will be related to the skills of their particular managers and their performance in managing their funds. Mutual funds are also subject to risks due to regulatory restrictions applicable to registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Foreign Securities Risks. We could invest portions of client assets into foreign stocks, ADR’s and pooled investment funds that invest internationally. While foreign investments are important to the diversification of client investment portfolios, they carry risks that may be different from U.S. investments. For example, foreign investments may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure standards, practices or requirements comparable to those found in the U.S. Foreign investments are also subject to foreign withholding taxes and the risk of adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations. Finally, foreign investments may involve currency risk, which is the risk that the value of the foreign security will decrease due to changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and the security’s underlying foreign currency. Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in emerging market countries involve exposure to changes in economic and political factors. The economies of most emerging market countries are in the infancy stage of capital market development. As a result, their economic systems are still evolving and their political systems are typically less stable than those in developed economies. For example, emerging market countries can suffer from currency devaluation and higher rates of inflation. ADR Conversion Risk . Certain strategies gain international investment exposure by investing in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). ADRs are the receipts for the shares of a non-U.S.-based company traded on U.S. exchanges. Accounts may hold ordinary non-U.S. securities (sometimes referred to as “ORD”) directly (instead of or in addition to ADRs). ADR portfolios may have reduced exposure to the range of international investment opportunities available through ordinary non-U.S. securities. ADRs may be more thinly traded in the U.S. than the underlying shares traded in the country of origin, which may increase volatility and affect purchase or sale prices. ADRs do not eliminate the currency and economic risks associated with international investing. To the extent a portfolio invests in ADRs, a portfolio will be generally subject to substantially all of the same risks as when investing directly in ordinary non-U.S. securities. Page 14 China Investment Risk. Certain accounts that invest in emerging market countries may invest in securities and instruments that are economically tied to the People’s Republic of China. The Chinese economy is dependent on the economies of other countries and can be significantly affected by currency fluctuations and increasing competition from Asia’s other low-cost emerging economies. The willingness and ability of the Chinese government to support the Chinese economy and markets is uncertain. China has yet to develop comprehensive securities, corporate, or commercial laws, its market is relatively new and less developed, and its economy is experiencing a relative slowdown. Changes in Chinese government policy and economic growth rates could significantly affect local markets. Reduction in spending on Chinese products and services, institution of tariffs or other trade barriers or a downturn in any of the economies of China’s key trading partners may have an adverse impact on the securities of Chinese issuers. Concerns exist regarding a potential trade war between China and the United States, which may trigger a significant reduction in international trade, the oversupply of certain manufactured goods, substantial price reductions of goods and possible failure of individual companies and/or large segments of China’s export industry, all of which may have a negative impact on investments. Cybersecurity Risk. With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, a portfolio is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events and are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems, and misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption, including the denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cyber security failures or breaches by a third-party service provider and the issuers of securities in which the portfolio invests, have the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs, including the cost to prevent cyber incidents. Item 9 - Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s evaluation of us or the integrity of our management. We have no disciplinary events to report. Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Mutual Fund As noted previously, we are the investment adviser to the Lone Peak Value Fund. From time to time, we may recommend the purchase of the Fund to advisory clients for whom the Fund’s strategy is suitable. Where clients’ funds are invested in a LPG mutual fund, we will not charge a portfolio management fee based on those assets. Rather, we will earn a fee on those assets through our position as investment adviser to the Fund. We also receive a portion of the 12b- 1 “services” fee that each respective fund charges on the Investor Share Class. The 12b-1 expense is a marketing fee levied on mutual fund shareholders to pay for advertising and distribution costs, as well as broker compensation. When the annual fee of assets under management assessed by the Fund is higher than fees earned by us for managing a client’s account, we have an interest in maximizing the client’s investments in the Fund. Page 15 The receipt of the above-described compensation represents a conflict of interest in that we may potentially base our recommendation of the Fund on economic factors and not necessarily the client’s best interest. To mitigate this conflict, we have established policies and procedures designed to facilitate equal application of our fiduciary responsibilities among all of our clients despite any affiliations. In addition, we will only recommend the Fund on a fully disclosed basis. WCM Investment Management WCM Investment Management, LLC (“WCM”) maintains a passive 24.99% investment in LPG. The operations of WCM and LPG are separate and independent. LPG maintains an open line of credit (“LOC”) with WCM, which is used as an alternative source of growth capital for LPG’s business. The balance on this line of credit can change periodically. Should LPG be unable to meet its obligations under the terms of the LOC, WCM has the right to assume up to 24.99% additional ownership of LPG from a principal owner of the firm. The existence of this lending relationship may present a conflict of interest, in that WCM may be incentivized to recommend LPG’s services and vice versa. This is addressed by carefully reviewing our ongoing relationship and interaction with WCM and maintaining an arms-length distance where necessary. Fees and Compensation and Other Industry Activities Some of our Investment Adviser Representatives (“IARs”) are licensed as agents with a broker- Code of Ethics dealer. In such a capacity, the IARs will discuss and offer the Fund to institutional clients and investment consultants. For further information, see the sections. Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics and Personal Trading We have adopted a Code of Ethics (“the Code”), the full text of which is available to you upon request. Our Code has several goals. First, the Code is designed to assist us in complying with applicable laws and regulations governing our investment advisory business. Under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, we owe fiduciary duties to our clients. Pursuant to these fiduciary duties, the Code requires persons associated with us (managers, officers and employees) to act with honesty, good faith and fair dealings in working with our clients. In addition, the Code prohibits such associated persons from trading or otherwise acting on insider information. Next, the Code sets forth guidelines for professional standards for our associated persons. Under the Code’s Professional Standards, we expect our associated persons to put the interests of our clients first, ahead of personal interests. In this regard, our associated persons are not to take inappropriate advantage of their positions in relation to our clients. Third, the Code sets forth policies and procedures to monitor and review the personal trading activities of associated persons. From time to time our associated persons may invest in the same securities recommended to clients. Under our Code, we have adopted procedures designed to reduce or eliminate conflicts of interest that this could potentially cause. The Code’s personal trading policies include procedures for limitations on personal securities transactions of associated persons, reporting and review of such trading and pre-clearance of certain types of personal trading activities. These policies are designed to discourage and prohibit personal trading that would disadvantage clients. The Code also provides for disciplinary action as appropriate for violations. Page 16 Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Because associated persons may invest in the same securities as those held in client accounts, we have established a policy requiring our associated persons to either pre-clear transactions in some types of securities with the Chief Compliance Officer or place trades in these securities in block trades along with clients (subject to certain exceptions). The goal of this policy is to avoid conflicts of interest that arise in these situations. If a block trade is partially filed, associated persons’ accounts will be included in the allocation of the available shares. This typically causes clients that are participating in the trade to receive fewer shares. Some types of securities, such as CDs, treasury obligations and open-end mutual funds (with the exception of mutual fund managed by us) are exempt from this pre-clearance requirement. However, in the event of other identified potential trading conflicts of interest, our goal is to place client interests first. Consistent with the foregoing, we maintain policies regarding participation in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) and private placements to comply with applicable laws and avoid conflicts with client transactions. If an associated person of LPG wishes to participate in an IPO or invest in a private placement, he or she must submit a pre-clearance request and obtain the approval of the Chief Compliance Officer. Item 10 above, when appropriate, we may recommend that you invest in a mutual As described in fund for which we serve as an investment adviser. If a LPG mutual fund is held in your account, its value is not included in the account value when computing our management fee. CFA Institute Code of Ethics and CFA Institute Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct ® (“CFA”) Certain LPG Principals and employees have earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. All CFA charter holders must abide by the CFA Institute’s “Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.” In addition, we have voluntarily adopted the CFA Institute’s “Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct” which applies to us on a global basis. Item 12 - Brokerage Practices Best Execution and Benefits of Brokerage Selection When given discretion to select the brokerage firm that will execute orders in client accounts, we seek “best execution” for client trades, which is a combination of a number of factors, including, without limitation, quality of execution, services provided and commission rates. Therefore, we may use or recommend the use of brokers who do not charge the lowest available commission in the recognition of research and securities transaction services, or quality of execution. Research services received with transactions may include proprietary or third-party research (or any combination) and may be used in servicing any or all of our clients. Therefore, research services received may not be used for the account for which the particular transaction was affected. We recommend that Direct Clients establish brokerage accounts with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified custodian to maintain custody of their assets. Although we may recommend that you establish accounts at Schwab, it is ultimately your decision to custody assets with Schwab. We are independently owned and operated and are not affiliated with Schwab. If your account is maintained at Schwab, it generally does not charge you separately for custody services but is compensated by charging you commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into your Schwab account. Certain trades may not incur Schwab commissions or transaction fees. Schwab is also compensated by earning interest on the uninvested cash in your Page 17 account in Schwab’s Cash Features Program. In addition to commissions, Schwab charges you a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into your Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation you pay the executing broker/dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab execute most trades for your account. We have determined that having Schwab execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Schwab Advisor Services provides us with access to its institutional trading, custody, reporting and related services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts while others help us manage and grow our business. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them. These services are not soft dollar arrangements but are part of the institutional platform offered by Schwab. Schwab’s brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Schwab’s products and services that assist us in managing and administering clients’ accounts include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and (v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Schwab Advisor Services also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include: (i) technology, compliance, legal and business consulting; (ii) publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and (iii) access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers. Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of services rendered to us. Schwab Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to us. Schwab Advisor Services may also provide other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment for our personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that client’s custody their assets at Schwab, we may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which creates a potential conflict of interest. Directed Brokerage You may direct us to use a particular broker for custodial or transaction services on behalf of your portfolio. In directed brokerage arrangements, you are responsible for negotiating the commission rates and other fees to be paid to the broker. Accordingly, if you direct us to use a particular broker, you should consider whether such designation may result in certain costs or disadvantages to you, either because you may pay higher commissions or obtain less favorable execution, or the designation limits the investment options available to you. The arrangement that we have with Schwab is designed to maximize efficiency and to be cost effective. If you direct us to use a particular broker, you acknowledge that these economies of scale and levels of efficiency are generally compromised when alternative brokers are used. While every Page 18 effort is made to treat clients fairly over time, the fact that a client chooses to use the brokerage and/or custodial services of these alternative service providers can in fact result in a certain degree of delay in executing trades for their account(s) and otherwise adversely affect management of their account(s). By directing us to use a specific broker or dealer, clients who are subject to ERISA confirm and agree that they have the authority to make the direction, that there are no provisions in any client or plan document which are inconsistent with the direction, that the brokerage and other goods and services provided by the broker or dealer through the brokerage transactions are provided solely to and for the benefit of the client’s plan, plan participants and their beneficiaries, that the amount paid for the brokerage and other services have been determined by the client and the plan to be reasonable, that any expenses paid by the broker on behalf of the plan are expenses that the plan would otherwise be obligated to pay, and that the specific broker or dealer is not a party in interest of the client or the plan as defined under applicable ERISA regulations. Aggregated Trade Policy We may enter trades as a block where possible and when advantageous to clients whose accounts have a need to buy or sell shares of the same security. This method permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts. It allows us to execute trades in a timely, equitable manner, and may reduce overall costs to clients. We will only aggregate transactions when we believe that aggregation is consistent with our duty to seek best execution (which includes the duty to seek best price) for our clients and is consistent with the terms of LPG’s Investment Advisory Agreement with each client for which trades are being aggregated. No advisory client will be favored over any other client; each client that participates in an aggregated order will participate at the average share price for all LPG’s transactions in a given security on a given business day at the same broker-dealer. Accounts may be excluded from a block due to tax considerations, client direction or other factors making the account’s participation ineligible or impractical. We will prepare, before entering an aggregated order, a written statement (“Allocation Statement”) specifying the participating client accounts and how we intend to allocate the order among those clients. If the aggregated order is filled in its entirety, it will be allocated among clients in accordance with the Allocation Statement. Trades for the Fund and large institutional accounts are usually rounded to the nearest 100 shares. If the order is partially filled, it will generally be allocated pro- rata, based on the Allocation Statement, or randomly in certain circumstances. Employee accounts that are managed by us will be included in such partial allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the order may be allocated on a basis different from that specified in the Allocation Statement if all client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment, and the reason for different allocation is explained in writing and is approved by an appropriate individual/officer of LPG. Our books and records will separately reflect, for each client account included in a block trade, the securities held by and bought and sold for that account. We receive no additional compensation or remuneration of any kind as a result of trade aggregation. Trade Rotation Schedule To avoid competition in the markets among orders for our clients, we execute orders on a rotational basis. We use a two-bucket trade rotation system for executing orders. Bucket A consists of two groups of accounts, which generally encompass all accounts over which we have full discretion for trade execution and settlement. These two groups are: (1) accounts in which Page 19 we may choose at our sole discretion the broker(s) who execute trades (“Non-Directed Brokerage Clients”), and (2) certain investment advisory clients who have provided us full investment and trading discretion but for which we typically choose to execute trades with the broker/custodian at which the client’s assets are custodied (“Discretionary Clients”). These two groups of accounts generally have the following characteristics: (1) the client has not explicitly provided directed- brokerage instructions to us for securities trades, and (2) the client is not participating in a Model Portfolio Program. Bucket B consists of all other accounts, including: (1) those for which the client has provided explicit directed-brokerage instructions to us; (2) accounts participating in Model Portfolio Programs; (3) accounts with non-standard trade or settlement systems/processes (or systems/processes that are otherwise incompatible with our trade systems/processes); and (4) accounts with specialized requirements (e.g., certain transactions must be preapproved for tax or other reasons). For each investment decision that leads to transactions in client accounts (“Trade Program”), accounts in Bucket A will typically trade first, so that Non-Directed Brokerage Clients and Discretionary Clients are not disadvantaged as a result of the specialized requirements of the other clients. Accounts in Bucket A are placed into one of two groups – Non-Directed Brokerage Clients, and Discretionary Clients. The two groups in Bucket A will trade on a straight rotational basis (i.e., the group at the end of the last Trade Program moves to the beginning of the next Trade Program). Blocks of accounts within each group (e.g. different custodians within Discretionary Accounts) will also be traded on a straight rotational basis, as needed. This procedure is designed to ensure that no one client, or group of clients, within this Bucket has an unfair advantage over another client, or group of clients, within this Bucket. Accounts in Bucket B are placed into one of two groups – Model Portfolio Programs, and remaining Bucket B accounts. Upon completion of trading for accounts in Bucket A, the two groups in Bucket B are traded on a straight rotational basis. Blocks of accounts within each group are also traded on a straight rotational basis, as needed. When changes are made to a Model Portfolio, we will communicate the changes to the Model Portfolio Program Sponsor in accordance with the rotation methodology described above. Model changes are considered placed upon communication to the Program Sponsor. The rotation does not pause for confirmation of delivery or completion of the model change action by the Sponsor. For Sponsors unable to implement Model Portfolio changes when it is their turn in the rotation (e.g. the Sponsor’s “trading window” has closed for the day), we will communicate our Model Portfolio changes the following trading day morning. The Sponsor or an overlay manager is responsible for adjusting existing Model Portfolio accounts to conform to the changes. Model Portfolio accounts may experience account performance that is different from the results obtained when we exercise investment discretion due to the timing and implementation of orders by a Sponsor or overlay manager. Because Bucket B usually trades after Bucket A, trades for accounts in Bucket B are subject to potential adverse price movements, particularly if they follow large block trades, involve illiquid securities or occur in volatile markets. This risk is heightened by the fact that trading for accounts in Bucket B may not complete until several days, or potentially weeks, following the start of trading for accounts in Bucket A. Consequently, accounts in Bucket B may receive prices/executions that are less favorable than those obtained for accounts in Bucket A. While we seek to mitigate this risk through careful management of the trade execution process and attention to market impacts, accounts in Bucket B may achieve comparatively lower returns than accounts in Bucket A. Page 20 Additionally, an account may trade outside its typically assigned Bucket or position in the trade rotation due to a client-directed event, such as a cash flow, tax-loss harvesting, or liquidation request. As a result, these client-directed events or otherwise special circumstances may cause an account to receive less favorable execution or achieve comparatively lower returns than it would otherwise receive or achieve. Item 13 - Review of Accounts SMAs are reviewed at least quarterly, but may be reviewed more often if you request, upon receipt of information material to the management of the portfolio, or at any time we deem such review necessary or advisable. These factors generally include but are not limited to, the following: change in general client circumstances (marriage, divorce, retirement); or economic, political or market conditions. Ryan Batchelor, Portfolio Manager & Chief Investment Officer, Roger Hill, Portfolio Manager, Allan Nichols, Portfolio Manager, David Passey, Research Analyst, and Heather Bryce, Chief Operating Officer, are responsible for reviewing accounts. Account custodians are responsible for providing monthly or quarterly account statements which reflect the positions (and current pricing) in each account as well as transactions in each account, including fees paid from an account. Account custodians also provide prompt confirmation of all trading activity, and year-end tax statements, such as 1099 forms. We will provide additional reports as agreed upon in the advisory agreement with a Direct Client and upon request. These reports normally include a summary of portfolio holdings and performance results. Sub-advised SMAs will typically receive reports regarding their investments from the Primary Advisor as described in the Primary Advisor’s own disclosure documents. Mutual fund investors receive reports as described in the respective Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Operations team reviews the Models available on Model Portfolio Programs when changes are made to ensure the model parameters (security holdings and weightings) are accurate (subject to preset tolerance bands for variance). Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation Brokerage Practices. As noted above, we receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of support products and services Schwab makes available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain accounts at Schwab. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described in The availability of Schwab’s products and services to us is based solely on our participation in the programs and not in the provision of any particular investment advice. We have a legacy referral arrangement with a third party, unaffiliated solicitor. The arrangement is no longer active; however, our agreement with the solicitor requires us to make ongoing referral payments to the solicitor for previously referred clients. We must also pay referral payments for potential clients that were identified by the solicitor that become our clients for up to a year after termination of the solicitor agreement. Consistent with legal requirements under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, our solicitor agreement requires, among other things, the Page 21 Item 15 - Custody solicitor’s compensation arrangement with us to be disclosed to prospective clients. The referral fee is a percentage portion of the fee paid by each client referred to us. We will not charge clients referred through the solicitor any fees or costs higher than our standard fee schedules offered to other clients. It is the custodian’s responsibility to provide clients with confirmations of trading activity, tax forms and at least quarterly account statements. You are advised to review this information carefully, and to notify us of any questions or concerns. You are also asked to promptly notify us if the custodian fails to provide statements on each account held. Item 16 - Investment Discretion From time to time and in accordance with our agreement with clients, we will provide additional reports. The account balances reflected on these reports (including fee statements) are based on the portfolio accounting system used by the firm and should be compared to the balances shown on the brokerage statements to ensure accuracy. At times there may be small differences due to the timing of dividend and accrued interest reporting, trades that have not yet settled into the account, and other similar issues. Advisory Business Item 17 - Voting Client Securities As described in , we manage accounts on a discretionary basis. This means that after an investment plan is developed for your investment portfolio, we will execute that plan without specific consent from you for each transaction. For discretionary accounts, you will execute a Limited Power of Attorney (“LPOA”) giving us the authority to carry out various activities in the account, generally including the following: trade execution and the withdrawal of advisory fees directly from the account. We then direct investment of your portfolio using our discretionary authority. You may limit the terms of the LPOA to the extent consistent with your investment advisory agreement with us and the requirements of your custodian. Proxy Voting As a matter of firm policy and practice, we accept the authority to vote proxies for clients. When voting proxies, we assume a fiduciary responsibility to vote in our clients' best interests. In addition, with respect to benefit plans under the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of 1974 (ERISA), we acknowledge our responsibility as a fiduciary to vote proxies prudently and solely in the best interest of plan participants and beneficiaries. So that we may fulfill these fiduciary responsibilities to clients, we have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that we vote proxies in the best interest of clients. We seek to make proxy voting decisions in the manner most likely to protect and enhance the long- term economic value of the securities held in client accounts. Any decisions regarding proxy voting will be determined on a case by case by our Portfolio Manager. We may determine not to vote for a particular proxy if the costs and burdens exceed the benefits of voting (e.g., when securities are subject to loan or to share blocking restrictions). If requests for proxies are received with respect to debt securities, we will vote on a case-by-case basis in a manner we believe to be in the best economic interest of our clients. Page 22 We have engaged Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) to receive proxies and proxy voting statements, retain proxy voting records, and handle many of the administrative functions associated with the voting of proxies. If a material conflict is identified, we may (i) disclose the potential conflict to you and obtain consent to vote in accordance with our recommendation; (ii) vote in accordance with your instructions; (iii) vote in accordance with the guidance of an independent consultant or outside counsel; (iv) establish an ethical wall or other informational barriers between the person(s) that are involved in the conflict and the persons making the voting decisions; or (v) vote in other ways that are consistent with our obligation to vote in our clients’ best interest. For the Funds, any proxy votes that may be subject to potential conflicts are determined by the Funds’ board of directors. Our Chief Compliance Officer is responsible for ensuring that all proxies received by us are voted in a timely manner and in a manner consistent with our determination of your best interests. A copy of our complete policy, as well as records of proxies voted, are available to you upon request. Class Action Lawsuits Sometimes securities held in the accounts of clients will be the subject of class action lawsuits. We have engaged Broadridge to provide a comprehensive review of clients’ possible claims to a settlement throughout the class action lawsuit process. Broadridge actively seeks out any open and eligible class action lawsuits. Additionally, Broadridge files, monitors and expedites the distribution of settlement proceeds in compliance with SEC guidelines on behalf of our clients. Broadridge’s filing fee is contingent upon the successful completion and distribution of the settlement proceeds from a class action lawsuit. In recognition of Broadridge’s services, Broadridge receives 20% of clients’ share of the settlement distribution. When we receive written or electronic notice of a class action lawsuit, settlement, or verdict affecting securities owned by clients, we will work to assist clients and Broadridge in the gathering of required information and submission of claims. Direct Clients of LPG are automatically included in this service but may opt-out. For sub-advised client relationships, the client’s Primary Adviser will make the decision as to whether its clients will participate in this service. If a client or the client’s Primary Adviser opts out, neither LPG nor Broadridge will monitor class action filings for that client. Page 23 Item 18 - Financial Information We do not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance, and therefore have no disclosure required for this item.
