Item 4 – Advisory Business
Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. (formerly Colonial Asset Management, Inc.) is an investment adviser
registered with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, with our principal place of business
located in South Carolina. Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. began conducting business in 1996.
Our firm’s sole principal owner is a holding company, Colonial Trust Group, Inc. Bert D. Barre,
President, Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the adviser, and Camp Rooker
Brochure Supplements, Exhibit A
Wynn, Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of the adviser, each own 50% of the
, for more information on these
holding company. Please see
individuals, as well as other individuals who formulate investment advice and have direct contact
with clients.
Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. offers the following advisory services to our clients:
INDIVIDUAL PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
Our firm provides asset management of client funds based on your individual needs. Through
personal discussions, in which goals and objectives based on your particular circumstances are
established, we develop your personal investment policy.
We create and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data-gathering process, we
determine your individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As
appropriate, we may also review and discuss your prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background.
To implement your Investment Plan, we will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary
or a non-discretionary basis. As a discretionary investment adviser, we will have the authority to
supervise and direct your portfolio without your prior consultation. Under a non-discretionary
arrangement, you must be contacted prior to the execution of any trade in the account(s) under
management. This may result in a delay in executing recommended trades, which could adversely
affect the performance of your portfolio. This delay also normally means the affected account(s)
will not be able to participate in block trades, a practice designed to enhance the execution quality,
timing and/or cost for all accounts included in the block. In a non-discretionary arrangement, you
retain the responsibility for the final decision on all actions taken with respect to your portfolio.
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 your investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in your
account at the commencement of our relationship. You should note, however, that restrictions
imposed by you may adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment
portfolio. You should also note that your investment portfolio is treated individually by giving
consideration to 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 clients should not expect that the composition or performance of their investment
portfolios would necessarily be consistent with similar clients of our firm.
Page 3
Once your portfolio has been established, we review your portfolio at least quarterly, and if
necessary, rebalance your portfolio at least on an annual basis, based on your individual needs.
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer or insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the following
securities, without limitation:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Exchange-listed securities
Foreign issuers
Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
Certificates of deposit
Municipal securities
Mutual fund shares
United States governmental securities
Interests in partnerships investing in real estate
Interests in partnerships investing in oil and gas interests
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be
implemented when consistent with your stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity
and suitability.
FINANCIAL PLANNING
One of the services offered by Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc., is financial planning, described below.
This service may be provided as a stand-alone service or may be coupled with ongoing portfolio
management. Financial planning is an evaluation of your current and future financial state by using
currently known variables to predict future cash flows, asset values and withdrawal plans. Through
the financial planning process, relevant questions, information and analysis are considered as they
impact and are impacted by the investment policy developed for you.
In general, the financial plan can address any or all of the following areas:
•
•
•
•
•
PERSONAL: We review family financial information and goals.
TAX & CASH FLOW: We consider your income tax and spending and planning for past, current
and future years.
INVESTMENTS: We review various asset allocations and their effect on your portfolio.
RETIREMENT: We analyze current strategies and investment plans to help you achieve your
retirement goals.
ESTATE: We assist you in assessing and developing long-term strategies, including as
appropriate, living trusts, wills, review estate tax, powers of attorney, and asset protection
plans.
We gather required information through personal interviews. Information gathered includes your
current financial status, tax status, future goals, returns objectives and attitudes towards risk. We
carefully review documents supplied by you and prepare a written report.
Once financial planning advice is given, you may choose to have us implement your financial plan
and manage your investment portfolio on an ongoing basis. However, you are under no obligation
to act upon any of the recommendations made by us under a financial planning engagement and/or
to engage the services of any recommended professional.
Page 4
HELD AWAY ASSETS
We offer ongoing advisory services to clients with assets held away from our primary custodian,
such as 401(k) accounts. We have entered into a service agreement with Pontera (formerly FeeX
Inc.) to provide asset management services for such accounts. Accordingly, we are able to create a
portfolio consisting of the securities/investment opportunities available in the held away account
you ask us to manage for you. The Pontera platform allows us to avoid being considered to have
custody of Client funds since we do not have direct access to your log-in credentials to affect trades.
We are not affiliated with the platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for
using their platform. Your individual investment strategy is tailored to your specific needs and will
include some or all of the securities made available. Portfolios will be designed to meet a particular
investment goal, determined to be suitable to your circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio
has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and rebalanced as
needed.
INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ADVICE
When we are making investment recommendations to you regarding your retirement plan account
or individual retirement account, we are acting as fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which
laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money or otherwise are
are
compensated creates some conflicts with your financial interests, so we operate under a special
rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.
Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice) to you;
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
Charge no more than what is reasonable for our services; and
Give you basic information about our conflicts of interest.
RETIREMENT PLAN ADVISORY SERVICES
Establishing a sound fiduciary governance process is vital to good decision-making and to ensuring
that prudent procedural steps are followed in making investment decisions. Colonial Trust
Advisors, Inc., will provide Retirement Plan consulting services to Plans and Plan Fiduciaries as
described below. The particular services provided will be detailed in the consulting agreement. The
appropriate Plan Fiduciary(ies) designated in the Plan documents (e.g., the Plan sponsor or named
fiduciary) will (i) make the decision to retain our firm; (ii) agree to the scope of the services that we
will provide; and (iii) make the ultimate decision as to accepting any of the recommendations that
we may provide. The Plan Fiduciaries are free to seek independent advice about the
appropriateness of any recommended services for the Plan. Retirement Plan consulting services
Page 5
may be offered individually or as part of a comprehensive suite of services.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) sets forth rules under which Plan
Fiduciaries may retain investment advisers for various types of services with respect to Plan assets.
For certain services, Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc., will be considered a fiduciary under ERISA. For
example, Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc., will act as an ERISA § 3(21) fiduciary when providing non-
discretionary investment advice to the Plan Fiduciaries by recommending a suite of investments as
choices among which Plan Participants may select. Also, to the extent that the Plan Fiduciaries
retain us to act as an investment manager within the meaning of ERISA § 3(38), we will provide
Consulting
discretionary investment management services to the Plan.

We provide Plan Fiduciaries and Plan Participants general, non-discretionary investment

engagement agreement between the parties.
Services
Fiduciary
• Discretionary Management Services
• Discretionary Investment Selection Services
When retained as an investment manager within the meaning of ERISA § 3(38), we provide
continuous and ongoing supervision over the designated retirement plan assets. We will
actively monitor the designated retirement plan assets and provide ongoing management of
the assets. When applicable, we will have discretionary authority to make all decisions to
buy, sell or hold securities, cash or other investments for the designated retirement plan
assets in our sole discretion without first consulting with the Plan Fiduciaries. We also have
the power and authority to carry out these decisions by giving instructions, on your behalf,
to brokers and dealers and the qualified custodian(s) of the Plan for our management of the
designated retirement plan assets.
We will monitor the investment options of the Plan and add or remove investment options
for the Plan without prior consultation with the Plan Fiduciaries. We will have discretionary
authority to make and implement all decisions regarding the investment options that are
available to Plan Participants.
Page 6
Investment Management via Model Portfolios
•
We will provide discretionary management of Model Portfolios among which the
participants may choose to invest as Plan options. Plan Participants will also have the
option of investing only in options that do not include Model Portfolios (i.e., the Plan
Participants may elect to invest in one or more of the mutual fund options made available in
Non-Fiduciary Services
the Plan, and choose not to invest in the Model Portfolios at all).
• Participant Education
• Participant Enrollment
We will provide education services to Plan Participants about general investment principles
and the investment alternatives available under the Plan. Education presentations will not
take into account the individual circumstances of each Plan Participant and individual
recommendations will not be provided unless a Plan Participant separately engages us for
such services. Plan Participants are responsible for implementing transactions in their own
accounts.
AMOUNT OF MANAGED ASSETS
We will assist with group enrollment meetings designed to increase retirement Plan
participation among employees and investment and financial understanding by the
employees.
As of December 31, 2024, we were actively managing $1,532,245,652 of clients' assets on a
discretionary basis and $134,534,334 of clients' assets on a non-discretionary basis.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT SERVICES FEES
The annual fee for Portfolio Management Services is charged quarterly in advance, calculated as a
percentage of assets under management and rounded to the nearest whole dollar, according to the
following schedule:
Assets Under Management Annual Fee
First $1 million
Next $1.5 million
Next $2.5 million
Next $2 million
Balance above $7 million
1.000%
0.750%
0.600%
0.500%
0.375%
On occasion, Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. will agree to a fixed fee. Overall factors considered will
include the type and amount of assets to be managed and the complexity of the client’s
circumstances. The minimum annual fixed fee is $1,000.
Page 7
If management begins after the start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. The fee for the
initial, partial quarter is necessarily assessed in arrears, at the end of the quarter. Then the initial
full quarter fee is assessed a few days later for the upcoming quarter.
For accounts with a margin balance, clients are assessed the management fee based on the gross
value of the assets in the account. In other words, the account value on which the fee is calculated is
not reduced by the margin balance.
Limited Negotiability of Advisory Fees
: Although Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. has established the
aforementioned fee schedule(s), we retain the discretion to negotiate alternative fees on a client-
by-client basis. Client facts, circumstances and needs are considered in determining the fee
schedule. These include the complexity of the client, assets to be placed under management,
anticipated future additional assets, related accounts, portfolio style, account composition, reports,
among other factors. The specific annual fee schedule is identified in the contract between the
adviser and each client.
We may group certain related client accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account
size requirements and determining the annualized fee.
Discounts, not generally available to our advisory clients, may be offered to family members and
friends of associated persons of our firm.
FINANCIAL PLANNING FEES
When we provide financial planning services to clients, our fees typically range from $1,500 to
$5,000 depending on the scope of the engagement. These fees are negotiated and agreed to at the
time of the engagement for such services.
HELD - AWAY ACCOUNTS
Any held-away accounts that you engage us to manage will be included in the fee calculations
described above.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Termination of the Advisory Relationship
: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by
either party, for any reason. As disclosed above, certain fees are paid in advance of services
provided. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded.
In calculating a client’s reimbursement of fees, we will pro rate the reimbursement according to the
number of days remaining in the billing period.
Mutual Fund Fees
: All fees paid to Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. for investment advisory services
are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or exchange
traded funds (“ETFs”) to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's
prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a
possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, you may pay an initial or deferred
sales charge. You could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case, you
would not receive the services provided by our firm which are designed, among other things, to
Page 8
assist you in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to your financial
condition and objectives. Accordingly, you should review both the fees charged by the funds and
our fees to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by you and to thereby evaluate the
advisory services being provided.
In a limited number of situations when it benefits you in terms of the lowest overall fee structure
available, on certain assets in a portfolio Colonial Trust Company, an affiliate of Colonial Trust
Advisors, Inc., may receive a portion of the mutual fund expenses in lieu of Colonial Trust Advisors,
Inc. receiving an advisory fee. Unless specified in the written agreement signed by you, you will not
pay Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. an advisory fee on any assets for which Colonial Trust Company
receives any portion of a mutual fund’s fee.
Additional Fees and Expenses
for additional information.
: In addition to our advisory fees, you are also responsible for the
fees and expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited
Item 12 – Brokerage
to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent investment
Practices
manager effects transactions for your account(s). Please refer to the
Grandfathering of Minimum Account Requirements
: Pre-existing advisory clients are subject to
our minimum account requirements and advisory clients that are employee benefit plans or
individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities
Act ("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), respectively.
As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue
Code that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation.
Other Compensation:
Certain individuals at Colonial Trust Advisors are licensed to sell insurance
in South Carolina and is entitled to receive commissions or other remuneration on the sale of
insurance products. As such, these individuals are able to effect insurance transactions and will
receive separate, yet customary compensation. To protect your interests, Colonial Trust Advisors,
Inc.’s policy is to disclose all forms of compensation before any such transaction is executed. Under
no circumstance will you pay both an insurance commission and a management fee to Colonial
Trust Advisors, Inc. on the same pool of assets.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
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. Because our firm has no performance-based fee accounts, we have no side-
by-side management.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. serves individuals, high net worth individuals, pension and profit-
sharing plans, charitable organizations and corporations. We do not impose a minimum portfolio
value. The minimum annual fixed fee is $1,000.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and/or managing
your assets.
Fundamental Analysis
. We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at
economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the
financial condition and management of the company itself) to determine if the company is
underpriced (indicating it may be a good time to buy) or overpriced (indicating it may be time to
sell).
Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a potential
risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market regardless of the
economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the stock.
Qualitative Analysis
. We subjectively evaluate non-quantifiable factors such as quality of
management, labor relations, and strength of research and development factors not readily subject
to measurement and predict changes to share price based on that data.
A risk of using qualitative analysis is that our subjective judgment may prove incorrect.
Asset Allocation
. Rather than focusing primarily on securities selection, we attempt to identify an
appropriate ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash suitable to your investment goals and risk
tolerance.
A risk of asset allocation is that you may not participate in sharp increases in a particular security,
industry or market sector. Another risk is that the ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash will
change over time due to stock and market movements and, if not corrected, will no longer be
appropriate for the client’s goals.
Mutual Fund and/or ETF Analysis
. We look at the experience and track record of the manager of
the mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if that manager has demonstrated an ability to
invest over a period of time and in different economic conditions. We also look at the underlying
assets in a mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if there is significant overlap in the
underlying investments held in another fund(s) in your portfolio. We also monitor the funds or
ETFs in an attempt to determine if they are continuing to follow their stated investment strategy.
A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance
does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may not be able to replicate
that success in the future. In addition, as we do not control the underlying investments in a fund or
ETF, managers of different funds held by you may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to
you if that security were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the
stated investment mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF, which could make the holding(s) less
suitable for your portfolio.
Risks for all forms of analysis
. Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the
companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities,
Page 10
and other publicly available sources of information about these securities are providing accurate
and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a
risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or misleading information.
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
We use the following strategy(ies) in managing your account, provided that such strategy(ies) are
appropriate to your needs and consistent with your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time
horizons, among other considerations:
Long-term purchases
. We purchase securities with the idea of holding them in your account for a
year or longer. Typically, we employ this strategy when:
• we believe the securities to be currently undervalued, and/or
• we want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection for
this class.
A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time, we
may not take advantage of short-term gains that could be profitable to you. Moreover, if our
predictions are incorrect, a security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to
sell. While we employ a long-term strategy, we constantly evaluate the merits of both our
investments and our holding periods. Our view on both is subject to change with company specific,
economic, and/or market circumstances.
Short-term purchases
. When utilizing this strategy on occasion, we purchase securities with the
idea of selling them within a relatively short time (typically a year or less). We do this in an attempt
to take advantage of conditions that we believe will soon result in a price swing in the securities we
purchase.
A short-term purchase strategy poses risks should the anticipated price swing not materialize; we
are then left with the option of having a long-term investment in a security that was designed to be
a short-term purchase, or potentially taking a loss. In addition, this strategy involves more frequent
trading than does a longer-term strategy, and will result in increased brokerage and other
transaction-related costs, as well as less favorable tax treatment of short-term capital gains.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
We are required to disclose any legal or disciplinary events that are material to your evaluation of
our advisory business or the integrity of our management. Our firm and our management personnel
have no reportable disciplinary events to disclose.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
As a subsidiary of Colonial Trust Group, Inc., our firm is under common ownership and control with
the Colonial Trust Company (the “Trust Company”), a state-chartered trust company that offers a
broad spectrum of fiduciary and financial services to individual and corporate clients. The services
Page 11
provided by the Trust Company are separate and distinct from our advisory services and are
provided for separate and additional compensation.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Our firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business conduct
that we require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal securities laws.
Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. and our personnel owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith
towards our clients, and have an obligation to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code
of Ethics but to the general principles that guide the Code of Ethics.
Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the review of quarterly securities
transactions reports as well as initial and annual securities holdings reports that must be submitted
by the firm’s access persons. Among other things, our Code of Ethics also requires the prior
approval of any acquisition of securities in a limited offering (e.g., private placement) or an initial
public offering. Our Code of Ethics also provides for oversight, enforcement and recordkeeping
provisions.
Our Code of Ethics also includes the firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-public
information. While we do not believe that we have any particular access to non-public information,
all employees are reminded that such information may not be used in a personal or professional
capacity.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our advisory clients and prospective clients. You may
request a copy by email sent to bbarre@colonialgroup.com, or by calling us at 864-582-5825.
Our Code of Ethics is designed to ensure that the personal securities transactions, activities and
interests of our employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of
advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while at the same time allowing employees to
invest for their own accounts.
Our firm and/or individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell for their personal accounts
securities identical to or different from those recommended to our clients. In addition, any related
person(s) may have an interest or position in a certain security(ies) which may also be
recommended to a client. It is the expressed policy of our firm that no person employed by us may
purchase or sell any security prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory account,
thereby preventing such employee(s) from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of
advisory accounts.
We may aggregate our employee trades with client transactions where possible and when
compliant with our duty to seek best execution for our clients. In these instances, participating
clients will receive an average share price and transaction costs will be shared equally and on a pro-
rata basis. In the instances where there is a partial fill of a particular batched order, we will allocate
all purchases pro-rata, with each account paying the average price. Our employee accounts will be
included in the pro-rata allocation.
As these situations represent actual or potential conflicts of interest to our clients, we have
established policies and procedures for implementing our firm’s Code of Ethics, to help ensure that
Page 12
our firm complies with our regulatory obligations and provides our clients and potential clients
with full and fair disclosure of such conflicts of interest.
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 effected.
Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. has an arrangement with National Financial Services LLC, and Fidelity
Brokerage Services LLC (together with all affiliates, "Fidelity") through which Fidelity provides our
firm with their "platform" services. The platform services include, among others, brokerage,
custodial, administrative support, record keeping and related services that are intended to support
intermediaries like Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. in conducting business and in serving the best
interests of our clients but that may also benefit us. The benefits of participation in the platform are
offered to all participants of the platform and are not soft dollars.
For our clients’ accounts that Fidelity maintains, Fidelity 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 Fidelity account. Certain trades may not incur Fidelity commissions
or transaction fees. Fidelity is also compensated by earning interest on the uninvested cash in your
account. Fidelity charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting certain
securities transactions (i.e., transactions fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds,
commissions are charged for individual equity and debt securities transactions). Fidelity enables
Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. to obtain many no-load mutual funds without transaction charges and
other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges. Fidelity’s commission rates are generally
considered discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commissions and
transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians
and broker-dealers. As part of the arrangement, Fidelity also makes available to our firm, at no
additional charge to us, certain research and brokerage services, including research services
obtained by Fidelity directly from independent research companies, as selected by Colonial Trust
Advisors, Inc. (within specified parameters). These research and brokerage services presently
include services such as its Wealth Central Platform with trading tools and research, including, but
not limited to Bond Trader Pro, Standard & Poor's, Argus, Decision Economics, Zach's Market
Grader and Morningstar, and are used by our firm to manage accounts for which we have
investment discretion.
Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. also receives additional services which may include discounted
business consulting services. Without this arrangement, we might be compelled to purchase the
same or similar services at our own expense.
As a result of receiving such services for no additional cost, we have an incentive to continue to use
or expand the use of Fidelity's services. We examined this potential conflict of interest when we
Page 13
chose to enter into the relationship with Fidelity and have determined that the relationship is in the
best interests of our clients and satisfies our client obligations, including our duty to seek best
execution. A client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might
charge to effect the same transaction where we determine in good faith that the commission is
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best
execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction
represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-
dealer’s services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates,
and responsiveness. Accordingly, while we will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all clients,
we may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific client account
transactions. Although the investment research products and services that may be obtained by us
will generally be used to service all of our clients, a brokerage commission paid by a specific client
may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing that specific client’s account. Colonial
Trust Advisors, Inc. and Fidelity are not affiliated.
Aggregated Trades
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 blocking of trades permits the trading of
aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts, so long as
transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rata basis between all accounts included in any
such block. Block trading allows us to execute equity trades in a timelier, equitable manner, and
may reduce overall costs to you.
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 our 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 of our clients’ transactions in
a given security on a given business day, with transaction costs generally shared pro-rata based on
each client’s participation in the transaction. On occasion, owing to the size of a particular
account’s pro rata share of an order or other factors, the commission or transaction fee charged
could be above or below a breakpoint in a pre-determined commission or fee schedule set by the
executing broker, and therefore transaction charges may vary slightly among accounts. 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 it intends 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. If the order is partially filled, it will generally be
allocated pro-rata, based on the Allocation Statement, or randomly in certain circumstances.
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 our firm. 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. Funds and securities of
clients whose orders are aggregated will be deposited with one or more banks or broker-dealers,
and neither the clients’ cash nor their securities will be held collectively any longer than is
necessary to settle the transaction on a delivery versus payment basis; cash or securities held
collectively for clients will be delivered out to the custodian bank or broker-dealer as soon as
Page 14
practicable following the settlement, and we will receive no additional compensation or
remuneration of any kind as a result of the proposed aggregation.
Directed Brokerage
You may direct Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. to use a particular broker for custodial and/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, a client who directs brokerage should consider whether such designation may result in
certain costs or disadvantages to the client, either because the client may pay higher commissions
or obtain less favorable execution, or the designation limits the investment options available to the
client.
The arrangement that we have with Fidelity is designed to maximize efficiency and to be cost
effective. By directing brokerage arrangements, you acknowledge that these economies of scale
and levels of efficiency are generally compromised when alternative brokers are used. While every
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 Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. to use a specific broker or dealer, clients who are subject
to ERISA confirm and agree with Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. 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.
Cross Trades
From time to time, we may direct a “cross trade” of securities (including, without limitation, fixed
income securities) between client accounts, whereby Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. arranges for one
client account to purchase a security directly from another client. In such cases, we will seek to
obtain a price for the security from one or more independent sources. Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc.
is not a broker-dealer and receives no compensation from a cross trade; however, the broker-
dealer facilitating the cross trade normally charges administrative fees to the clients’ accounts.
We may direct a cross trade when we believe that the transaction is in the best interest of the
clients, that no client will be disfavored by the transaction, and that the transaction is consistent
with our duty to seek best execution.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
REVIEWS
: While the underlying securities within Individual Portfolio Management Services
accounts are continually monitored, these accounts are reviewed at least quarterly. Accounts are
reviewed in the context of your stated investment objectives and guidelines. More frequent reviews
may be triggered by material changes in variables such as your individual circumstances (marriage,
divorce, retirement); or the market, political or economic environment.
Page 15
These accounts are reviewed by:

REPORTS
: In addition to the monthly statements and confirmations of transactions that Portfolio
Management Services clients receive from their account custodian, Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. will
provide quarterly reports summarizing account performance, balances and holdings. We urge you
to compare the reports that we provide to the reports received from the account custodian, and
notify us at once if there is any discrepancy. At times there may be small differences due to the
timing of dividend reporting, pending trades or other similar issues.
For stand-alone Financial Planning clients, there are no ongoing reports provided by Colonial Trust
Advisors, Inc., aside from the initial financial planning report.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
As noted above, we receive an economic benefit from Fidelity in the form of support products and
services it makes available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients
maintain accounts at Fidelity. These products and services, how they benefit our firm, and the
related conflicts of interest are described in
. The availability of
Fidelity’s products and services to Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. is based solely on our participation
in the programs and not on the provision of any particular investment advice. Neither Fidelity nor
any other party is paid to refer clients to Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc.
Item 15 – Custody
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
It is the responsibility of the account custodian to provide you 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.

debits advisory fees from client accounts.
As part of this billing process, your custodian is advised of the amount of the fee to be deducted
from your account. On at least a quarterly basis, the custodian is required to send to you a
statement showing all transactions within the account during the reporting period. Because the
custodian does not calculate the amount of the fee to be deducted, it is important for you to
carefully review your custodial statements to verify the accuracy of the calculation, among other
things. You should contact us directly if you believe that there may be an error in your statement.

For
accounts, you also generally execute an LPOA, which allows us to carry out

investment advisory agreement between us, we do not implement trading recommendations or
other actions in your account unless and until you have approved the recommendation or action.
As with discretionary accounts, you may limit the terms of the LPOA, subject to our agreement with
you and the requirements of your custodian.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
In accordance with our client agreement, we vote proxies for all client accounts; however, you
always have the right to vote proxies yourself. You can exercise this right by instructing us in
writing not to vote proxies in your account.
Colonial utilizes the services of Egan Jones Proxy Services to determine how each proxy should be
voted as well as to vote and maintain records of all proxies. In determining how to vote a proxy
matter, Egan Jones considers the reputation, experience, and competence of a company’s
management and board of directors when it evaluates an issuer.
Egan Jones has provided Colonial with the Proxy Voting Principals and Guidelines, which is
available to clients upon request. The Proxy Voting Principals and Guidelines outline Egan Jones’
guidelines for determining how to vote on various matters. Egan Jones Proxy Services includes
voting on matters involving tender offers, mergers and acquisitions, common stock authorization,
stock distributions (splits and dividends), and debt restructuring.
In general, the Egan Jones proxy voting principals and guidelines include:
Directors should be accountable to shareholders, and management should be accountable
Information on the company supplied to shareholders should be transparent.
Shareholders should be treated fairly and equitably according to the principle of one share,
Egan Jones Proxy Voting principles will be influenced by current and forthcoming

legislation, rules and regulations, and stock exchange rules.
Proxy Advisory Firm Due Diligence
When determining to work with, or continue to work with, a proxy advisory firm, Colonial conducts
due diligence initially and on an annual basis. Colonial will consider, among other things:
Page 17
Whether the proxy advisory firm has an effective process for seeking timely input from
Whether the proxy advisory firm has adequately disclosed its methodologies in formulating
The nature of any third-party information sources that the proxy advisory firm uses as a
Whether the proxy advisory firm has reasonable policies and procedures regarding how it
•
Whether the proxy advisory firm has the capacity and competency to adequately analyze
the matters for which Colonial is responsible for voting, including the adequacy and quality of the
proxy advisory firm’s staffing, personnel, and/or technology;
•
issuers and proxy advisory firm clients;
•
voting recommendations;
•
basis for its voting recommendation;
•
identifies and addresses conflicts of interest; and
•
Whether the proxy advisory firm’s advice is subject to potential factual errors, potential
incompleteness, or potential methodological weaknesses, including whether they engage with
issuers to ensure complete and accurate information, correct any identified material deficiencies in
their analysis, disclose the sources of information used in formulating recommendations and
consider factors unique to the issuer or proposal when making recommendations.
You may obtain a copy of our complete proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting Bert D.
Barre by telephone, email, or in writing. You may request, in writing, information on how proxies
for your shares were voted. If any client requests a copy of our complete proxy policies and
procedures or how we voted proxies for his/her account(s), we will promptly provide such
information to the client.
We will neither advise nor act on behalf of the client in legal proceedings involving companies
whose securities are held in the client’s account(s), including, but not limited to, the filing of "Proofs
of Claim" in class action settlements. If desired, clients may direct us to transmit copies of class
action notices to the client or a third party. Upon such direction, we will make commercially
reasonable efforts to forward such notices in a timely manner.
With respect to ERISA accounts, we will vote proxies unless the plan documents specifically reserve
the plan sponsor's right to vote proxies. To direct us to vote a proxy in a particular manner, clients
should contact Bert D. Barre by telephone, email, or in writing.
You can instruct us to vote proxies according to particular criteria (for example, to always vote with
management, or to vote for or against a proposal to allow a so-called "poison pill" defense against a
possible takeover). These requests must be made in writing. You can also instruct us on how to cast
your vote in a particular proxy contest by contacting us at (864) 582-3356.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 per client more
than six months in advance of services rendered. Therefore, we are not required to include a
financial statement.
As an advisory firm that maintains discretionary authority for client accounts, we are also required
to disclose any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet our
contractual obligations. Colonial Trust Advisors, Inc. has no additional financial circumstances to
report.
