Firm Information Compass Advisory Group LLC d/b/a Compass Advisors (“Compass Advisors” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Compass Advisors is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Delaware. Compass Advisors was founded in March 2017 and is owned and operated by Lauren M. King (Partner) and Michael A. Cuneo (Partner). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Compass Advisors. B. Advisory Services Offered Compass Advisors offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”). The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. Compass Advisors’ fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading. Investment Management Services Compass Advisors provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory services. Compass Advisors works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Compass Advisors will then construct an investment portfolio consisting primarily of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks, bonds or options contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client. Compass Advisors’ investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re- allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Compass Advisors will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. Compass Advisors evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Compass Advisors may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Compass Advisors may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. Compass Advisors may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. At no time will Compass Advisors accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the Client investment advisory agreement. For additional information, please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, Page 4 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor. Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios – The Advisor may recommend an automated investment program through which Clients are invested in a range of investment strategies Compass Advisors has constructed and manages (“Program”). The Client’s portfolio is held in a brokerage account opened by the Client at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). The Advisor utilizes the Institutional Intelligent Portfolios® platform, offered by Schwab Performance Technologies, a software provider to independent investment advisors and an affiliate of Schwab, to operate the Program. The Advisor remains the Client’s investment advisor and primary point of contact. The Advisor is responsible for determining the appropriateness of the Program for the Client, choosing a suitable investment strategy and portfolio for the Client’s investment needs and goals, and managing that portfolio on an ongoing basis. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Compass Advisors provide retirement plan advisory services on behalf of the retirement plans (each a “Plan”) and the company (the “Plan Sponsor”). The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Each engagement is customized to the needs of the Plan and Plan Sponsor. Services generally include: Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Design and Monitoring Investment Oversight Services (ERISA 3(21)) Investment Management Services (ERISA 3(38)) • Vendor Analysis • Plan Participant Enrollment and Education Tracking • • • • Performance Reporting • Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance • ERISA 404(c) Assistance • Benchmarking Services These services are provided by Compass Advisors serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). In accordance with ERISA section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsore is provided with a written description of Compass Advisors’ fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor resonablt expects under the engagement. Financial Planning Services Compass Advisors will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, either as a component of investment management services or pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. Page 5 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com Compass Advisors may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly. Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Compass Advisors to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: • Establishing an Investment Strategy – Compass Advisors, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. • Asset Allocation – Compass Advisors will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client. • Portfolio Construction – Compass Advisors will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. • Investment Management and Supervision – Compass Advisors will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs Compass Advisors does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by Compass Advisors. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2024, Compass Advisors manages $644,083,351 in Client assets, $430,118,536 of which are managed on a discretionary basis and $213,964,815 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more written agreements with the Advisor. A. Fees for Advisory Services Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the average daily balance of assets under management during the prior calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees range up to 2.00% annually based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee. Page 6 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Compass Advisors will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing. The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolio Service – Program fees are billed quarterly in advance the average daily balance of assets under management during the prior calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual-asset based fee of up to 1.00% and are payable in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Retirement plan advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees may be negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan and the services to be offered. Financial Planning Services Compass Advisors offers financial planning services either on an hourly or fixed fee basis. Hourly engagements range from $200 to $350 per hour. Fixed fees range from $1,500 to $15,000 per engagement. Fees may be negotiable based on the on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and total costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services. B. Fee Billing Investment Management Services Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by the number of days in the year multiplied by the number of days in the quarter) to the average daily balance of assets under management with Compass Advisors during the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Compass Advisors to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Retirement plan advisory fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor or deducted from the assets of the Plan, depending on the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Financial Planning Services Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to 100 percent (100%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the financial planning. The Advisor will not collect fees that are greater than $1,200 if the services will be for six months or more in the future. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Compass Advisors in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account Page 7 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. Clients invested through the Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios will not be charged a separate fee for securities transaction fees for the purchase and rebalancing of the Client’s investment portfolio. The fees charged by Compass Advisors are separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. In addition, all fees paid to Compass Advisors for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Compass Advisors, but would not receive the services provided by Compass Advisors which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Compass Advisors to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Investment Management Services Compass Advisors is compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which investment management services are rendered. Either party may also terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five- day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios – Fees charged for the Program are collected quarterly, after services are provided. The Client may terminate the account[s] with the Program at any time by providing advance written notice to the Advisor and the Program. The Advisor will assist the Client with this process upon request. The Client shall be responsible for platform and investment advisory fees up to an including the effective date of termination. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Compass Advisors is compensated for its services at the beginning of the quarter in which retirement plan advisory services are rendered. Either party may terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five- day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. The Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid retirement plan advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s retirement plan advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Financial Planning Services Compass Advisors requires an advance deposit as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client.

The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Page 8 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com E. Compensation for Sales of Securities Compass Advisors does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above. Certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments, Inc. (“PKS”). PKS is a registered broker-dealer (CRD No. 35747), member FINRA, SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative of PKS, an Advisory Person may implement securities transactions under PKS and not through Compass Advisors. In such instances, an Advisory Person will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by an Advisory Person in one’s capacity as a registered representative is separate and in addition to Compass Advisors’ advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because Advisory Persons who are registered representatives have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on the Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor Advisory Persons will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any products or services implemented in the Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Activities and Affiliations. Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of the Advisor who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to Clients for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on Client needs. However, Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Compass Advisors does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by Compass Advisors are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. Compass Advisors does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients. Item 7 – Types of Clients Compass Advisors offers investment advisory services individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, businesses and retirement plans. Compass Advisors generally does not impose a minimum size for establishing a relationship. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis Compass Advisors employs fundamental and macro analysis in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Compass Advisors are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others. Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment Page 9 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. The Advisor also performs macroeconomic analysis using third-party research. Some factors that are reviewed include general economic growth, unemployment, and other economic statistics. This analysis provides a broader view of the market and is used in conjunction with fundamental and technical analysis. As noted above, Compass Advisors generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. Compass Advisors will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Compass Advisors may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class. B. Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Compass Advisors will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach: Market Risks The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall financial markets. ETF Risks The performance of an ETF is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.

The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day. Options Contracts Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Compass Advisors or its management persons. Compass Advisors values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 288256. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer Affiliation As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also registered representatives of PKS. PKS is a registered broker-dealer, member FINRA, SIPC. In one’s separate capacity as a registered representative of PKS, an Advisory Person will receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for commissionable transactions. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendation provided by Advisory Persons. Neither the Advisor nor its Advisory Persons will earn ongoing investment advisory fees in connection with any services implemented in Advisory Person’s separate capacity as a registered representative. Insurance Agency Affiliations As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of insurance recommendations are separate and apart from one’s role with Compass Advisors. As an insurance professional, an Advisory Persons will receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various insurance companies whose products are sold. An Advisory Persons is not required to offer the products of any particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by an Advisory Persons or the Advisor. Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios As noted in Item 4 – Advisory Services, Compass Advisors may recommend that a Client’s investment portfolio be implemented through the Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios. Compass Advisors may be required to pay Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios an investment sub-advisory fee for the use of the platform, trading, rebalancing, fee billing, reporting and other services. The Advisor does not receive compensation from Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolios, Schwab or any other affiliate for these services but does receive these services at a discount. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics Compass Advisors has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Compass Advisors (“Supervised Page 11 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the Client. Compass Advisors and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Compass Advisors’ Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (516) 938-2400. B. Personal Trading with Material Interest Compass Advisors allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Compass Advisors does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Compass Advisors does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients Compass Advisors allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by Compass Advisors requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client While Compass Advisors allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward. At no time will Compass Advisors, or any Supervised Person of Compass Advisors, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] Compass Advisors does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize Compass Advisors to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, Compass Advisors does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Where Compass Advisors does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not recommended by Compass Advisors. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Compass Advisors may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, the reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, its reputation, and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. Compass Advisors will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. Compass Advisors maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Schwab. Please see Item 14 below. Page 12 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. Compass Advisors does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor does receive certain economic benefits from Schwab as detailed in Item 14 below. 2. Brokerage Referrals - Compass Advisors does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where Compass Advisors will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s] at the Custodian, unless otherwise directed by the Client. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Compass Advisors will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) the skill required of the Custodian. Compass Advisors will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client, unless otherwise directed in writing by the Client. Compass Advisors may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Michael A. Cueno, Chief Investment Officer and Lauren M. King, Chief Compliance Officer of Compass Advisors. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more or less frequently depending on the needs of the Client. B. Causes for Reviews In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A. above, each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Compass Advisors if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events. C. Review Reports The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions, and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may Page 13 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Compensation Received by Compass Advisors Compass Advisors may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Compass Advisors may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties. Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform Compass Advisors has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Compass Advisors. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Compass Advisors receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to directly access the investments. Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back-office support services as part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may not directly benefit all Clients. Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and support to Compass Advisors that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, consulting services, and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a conflict of interest. Compass Advisors believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients. B. Compensation for Client Referrals The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client referrals. Item 15 – Custody Compass Advisors does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined below: Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Compass Advisors exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and securities and must instruct Compass Advisors to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by Compass Advisors to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. Page 14 Compass Advisory Group LLC 155 Pinelawn Road, Suite 210 N, Melville, NY 11747 Phone: (516) 938-2400 Fax: (516) 938-2455 www.compassadvisors.com Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Compass Advisors to move funds between their accounts, Compass Advisors and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions. Item 16 – Investment Discretion Compass Advisors generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by Compass Advisors. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Compass Advisors will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities Compass Advisors does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting. Item 18 – Financial Information Neither Compass Advisors, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of Compass Advisors to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Compass Advisors, nor any of its Advisory Persons, has been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Compass Advisors is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
