Inc Item 4: Advisory Business - Financial and Investment Planning Services Compass Planning Associates was originally established and registered as an investment advisory firm in 1996 as a sole proprietorship. In 2003, the firm changed its name to Compass Planning Associates, Inc. (Compass Planning) and continues to provide financial and investment planning services. Jennifer Lane is the founder and President of Compass Planning. Compass Planning provides comprehensive financial, investment and tax planning advice on a fee-only basis by the project, the hour or by the year, depending on client need. New prospective clients are first introduced to the firm through a 15 to 30 minute discussion to review the client's planning questions, financial information and primary planning focus. The financial planning project scope, outcome and fee is then determined and agreed to by the client and the planner. Compass Planning also provides investment recommendations as a part of its service and is available to execute those recommendations on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis for clients. As of December 31, 2025, Compass Planning has $17,143,645 of non-discretionary assets and $196,795,980 of discretionary assets under on-going and continuous supervision/management for clients who were participating in the Ongoing Planning and Portfolio Recommendations service (see below for more details on services below). Planning by the Project or by the Hour Our relationship with a new client often starts with a Comprehensive Financial Plan for a project fee. Annual Reviews of the plan follow, at the client’s request, and are billed hourly. Hourly planning is also available for specific questions when a full project plan isn’t needed. A Comprehensive Financial Plan is usually structured around 3, two-hour meetings depending on the client’s situation and project scope. During the course of the project every effort is made to answer the client's planning and investment questions and ensure that recommendations are understood, and that the client feels comfortable completing/implementing the tasks and recommendations. ● During the course of a typical project, we will ○ Discuss financial, investment and life goals ○ Make detailed calculations and make recommendations for savings goals and nest egg targets ○ Provide financial guidance and suggestions on how to increase the probability that the financial goals are achieved ○ Establish risk tolerance and make asset allocation and investment recommendations ○ Discuss debt management and cash flow planning ○ Review risk management and insurance plan status and make recommendations to fill gaps ○ Review estate plan status and help implement the current estate plan A financial plan must consider the client's complete financial situation. The client should do their best to provide a complete picture to the planner and should let the planner know if their circumstances change. Financial plans should be reviewed by the client at least annually. The client should contact the planner if they would like to schedule an Annual Review meeting or if they have questions about their financial 4 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc plan. Many planning questions can be answered without the need to bill a separate fee. For more extensive questions or plan changes, work completed after an initial project can be billed at our hourly rate or a project rate agreed upon in advance. The client will retain rights of ownership of all securities and funds in their accounts. Account aggregators like Monarch Money or Yodlee are often used to help support the planning process, but at no time does the planner take custody or have access to client assets. Planning by the Year: Ongoing Financial Planning and Portfolio Management Clients with complex financial or investment situations, who are too busy to manage day-to-day financial and investment issues, or who wish to have a partner in their regular financial decision making, are a good fit for this service. (More information regarding Compass Planning’s investment strategies can be found in Item 8.) Where applicable, the client will give Compass Planning a limited power of attorney to make trades in their accounts. Compass Planning will also be available to perform general customer service tasks such as assisting Clients with account maintenance related tasks as well as information about available cash balance amounts, beneficiary information, and mailing address changes. Compass Planning is not related to any broker dealer and its Investment Advisor Representatives are not Registered Representatives. If clients have no other preference, we may recommend that investment accounts are moved to Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services or Schwab Advisor Services to ease in reporting, tracking and trade execution. Moving accounts is not a requirement for the service and sometimes clients maintain accounts at other brokerage firms including Vanguard and TIAA. Compass does not receive any compensation from any custodian – including Fidelity or Schwab – for making a referral. The client will continue to maintain direct online access to their accounts and the client’s custodian will continue to send regular account statements – containing a description of all transactions and all account activity – directly to the client. Planning by the Year service is meant as an extension to a Comprehensive Financial Plan and is focused on helping the client keep their financial plan on track. To this end, regular planning meetings are scheduled, typically 3 or 4 times per year following client preference, and planned as regular check-ins. Issues and concerns that are often covered include: ● Changes and updates to the financial and/or investment plan as the client's financial situation changes ● Review of the investment portfolio (including current economic trends, upcoming client cash flow needs and discussion of client risk tolerance) ● Recommendations to change asset allocation and/or investments, as needed, and implementation of those changes after discussion and approval of the client Investment performance comparisons Implementation of regular savings or cash flow plans ● ● ● Review of existing estate plans and insurance policies, referrals to appropriate advisors for 5 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc guidance, if needed ● Tax planning as it relates to the investment portfolio (for example - discussing and implementing a tax-advantaged investment strategy or planning tax-smart income withdrawals during retirement) ● Coordination with the client’s other advisors on estate, tax, insurance or investment plan issues A financial plan must consider the client's complete financial situation. The client should do their best to provide a complete picture to the planner and should let the planner know if their circumstances change. Compass Planning does not participate in wrap fee programs. Item 5: Fees and Compensation As stated previously, Compass Planning is a “fee only” firm that provides comprehensive financial, investment and tax planning advice. Being “fee only” means that Compass Planning and its associated persons cannot accept commission or 12b-1 compensation from the sale of securities or other products, including mutual funds and insurance related products. Our fees are negotiable at our sole discretion and will be communicated in a written agreement prior to beginning work. Many clients choose to make full payment at the start of a project. Unearned prepaid fees shall be refunded should the agreement be terminated prior to the completion of the project. Payments can be made by check or credit card, are accepted anytime and are expected to be paid in full by project completion. Project fees are based on the following hourly rates: ● Principal - $420/hr ● Senior Adviser - $405/hr ● Adviser - $310/hr ● Planning Support - $260/hr Fees cover our services only and do not include any transaction fees or commissions which may be charged separately by the client’s broker/dealer custodial firm on the purchase or sale of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds or other securities. See the section heading Item 12: Brokerage Practices for more information. Planning by the Year clients pay a flat annual fee for services which include portfolio recommendation services. The fee depends on the complexity and depth of the planning services needed by the client, but generally ranges from $8,000 to $25,000. The fee and services will be discussed upfront when establishing the client relationship so clients are aware of what to expect. This fee is charged quarterly in arrears with one half of the first quarterly payment due at the signing of the client agreement. Prorated fees for partial quarters at the start and/or end of a client engagement will be calculated using the number of calendar days in the quarter in which services were provided relative to the total number of days in that calendar quarter. Payment of fees may be paid by the client directly, or clients working under the Planning by the Year relationship may authorize the custodian holding their accounts to deduct Compass Planning’s fee directly from their account quarterly on an arrears basis. This is done in accordance with the signed client 6 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc agreement and implemented via electronic information prepared and submitted to the custodian by Compass Planning. Compass Planning will provide an invoice to the client in advance showing the fee that will be swept. The custodian provides periodic account statements to the client which will reflect all fee withdrawals by Compass Planning. It is the client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the fee calculation. The custodian will not determine whether the fee is properly calculated. Compass Planning does not solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six (6) months in advance. Planning services similar to those offered by this advisor may be found elsewhere at lower rates. In addition to fees paid for planning services with respect to clients' investments in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, clients pay additional fees on the fund investments because funds will also pay advisory and/or management fees to investment advisors which are passed through to their investors. If termination occurs prior to the end of a calendar quarter, the client will be invoiced for fees due on a pro-rata basis using the number of calendar days in the quarter in which services were provided relative to the total number of days in that calendar quarter. Rollover Recommendations When Compass Planning and our IA Reps provide any rollover recommendations (e.g. from your employer’s retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 457, or ERISA 403(b) account to individual retirement accounts), we are acting as fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Whether we are working with clients under a project, hourly or annual by-the-year fee our fee will remaining the same whether clients decide to rollover their employer’s retirement plan to an individual retirement account or not. We believe this compensation arrangement avoids the conflict of interest present if our fee were based on where clients’ account was located. Clients are under no obligation to complete the rollover. Moreover, if clients do complete the rollover, clients are under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by our firm. In making a rollover recommendation – as in all our work - we operate under rules that require us to act in the client’s best interests and not put our interests ahead of theirs. These rule’s provisions require us to: • meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (i.e. give prudent advice) • never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (i.e. 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 the client’s best interests • charge no more than a reasonable fee for our services • give you basic information about conflicts of interest. Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan. Also, current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or change 7 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options are available, clients should consider the costs and benefits of a rollover. Note that an employee will typically have four options in this situation: 1. leaving the funds in the employer’s (former employer’s) plan 2. moving the funds to a new employer’s retirement plan 3. cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan 4. rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account. Each of these options has positives and negatives. Because of that, along with the importance of understanding the differences between these types of accounts, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of both account types and the basis for our belief that rolling over the client’s account – or leaving the account with the employer - is in the client’s best interests. The client will make the final rollover decision. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Compass Planning does not charge performance-based fees, which are based on capital gains in the client account, and therefore we don’t engage in side-by-side management. Item 7: Types of Clients Compass Planning provides advisory services to individuals, pension and profit sharing plan participants and other ERISA accounts, trusts, estates, and business entities. While there is no minimum individual account size requirement for ongoing planning and management services, Clients are required to have a minimum of $500,000 in total investable assets. Compass Planning reserves the right at its sole discretion to grant exceptions to this minimum total investable asset requirement. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss Compass Planning uses passive investing and asset allocation strategies and for portfolio recommendations. Our focus is on the client’s financial plan and helping to achieve financial goals rather than finding the investment that beats the market. By its nature, financial planning looks to the long-term. After the client's short-term cash needs and emergency fund is evaluated, investment and insurance strategies are designed to help the client achieve his or her financial goals. While there is risk in all investments, some carry a greater degree of risk or higher costs. Clients should be prepared to bear the risk of loss when investing. There is no guarantee that the investment strategy selected for the client will result in the client’s goals being met, nor is there any guarantee of profit or protection from loss. We ask that clients work with us to help us understand their tolerance for risk. Clients always have the right to decide whether to follow or ignore in part or completely any information, recommendation, or advice given by us. 8 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc We primarily recommend clients implement their investment plan with index mutual funds and widely traded exchange-traded funds (“ETF”s). It is more efficient to achieve diversification through ownership of mutual funds and exchange-traded funds rather than through ownership of individual stocks. An index fund is an investment pool (e.g., mutual fund or ETF invested in stocks, bonds, or other investment vehicles) that aims to replicate the movements of an index of a specific financial market. The lack of active management generally gives the advantage of lower fees and lower taxes in taxable accounts. There are certain internal management fees and in some cases commissions, which reduce the return to the investor relative to the index. It is usually impossible to precisely mirror the index, as the models for sampling and mirroring, by their nature, cannot be 100% accurate. The difference between the index performance and the fund performance is known as the “tracking error.” By design, an index fund seeks to match rather than outperform the target index. Therefore, a good index fund with low tracking error will not generally outperform the index but rather produces a rate of return similar to the index minus fund costs. An index fund does not have to follow a well-known index. There are thousands of index funds, leaving advisors to determine which fund best matches the client’s risk capacity and other investment objectives. An exchange traded fund holds securities to match the price performance of a certain market index or commodity price. ETFs can track stock indexes and sectors, bonds and precious metals. ETFs are subject to the same market risks as the index or sector they are designed to track. ETFs can be bought and sold throughout the day like stocks. ETFs may be an index fund or a fully transparent actively managed fund. An actively managed mutual fund is an investment pool, which may include money market instruments, stocks, bonds, or other investment vehicles. Professional money managers research, select, and monitor the performance of the securities the fund purchases. Even with no-load or load-waived funds, there are mutual fund expenses paid to the fund company. Investors may have to pay taxes on capital gains distribution received by the fund but not distributed to the investor. Mutual funds redeem shares at net asset value (“NAV”) at the end of the trading day. A stock represents ownership in a company. If the company prospers and grows, the value of the stock should increase. Even if a company is profitable, the stock prices are subject to “market risk” which is attributable to investor attitudes. Stock ownership in more established companies is more conservative, while younger companies provide the most risk and reward opportunities. Debt Securities (corporate or municipal bonds) are promissory notes that pay interest and the return of principal at the end of a specified term. Credit risk is the chance the issuer will fail to pay the interest payments on the security or to pay the principal at maturity. Interest rate risk is that the market value of the bonds will go down when interest rates go up. Prepayment risk is the chance that a bond will be paid off early. For example, if interest rates fall, a bond issuer may decide to pay off its debt. When this happens, the investor may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in an investment with as high a return or yield. Item 9: Disciplinary Information An investment advisor must disclose material facts about any legal or disciplinary event that is material to a client’s evaluation of the advisory business or of the integrity of its management personnel. Compass 9 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc Planning does not have any disclosure items. Clients and Prospective Clients may find additional information about Compass Planning and its IARs on the public disclosure website at: www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Compass Planning focuses its business solely on providing personal financial planning and investment advice to individuals. Neither Compass Planning nor its associated persons are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer, a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities. Compass Planning does not recommend or select other investment advisers for Clients and therefore, as indicated in Item 14, does not receive any form of compensation. There are no other material financial industry activities or affiliations to disclose. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading Compass Planning maintains a Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics sets forth standards of conduct expected of advisory personnel; requires compliance with federal and state securities laws; and addresses conflicts that arise from personal trading by advisory personnel. Clients may request a copy of the Code of Ethics. At times, Compass Planning and/or its employees recommend securities to clients or may take positions in the same securities as clients at or about the same time. Doing so may create a conflict of interest if this affects execution prices that clients may receive. We do not believe that our positions in the same securities as clients creates a material conflict of interest because 1) the size of securities positions taken by associated persons of Compass Planning is not material to the securities’ overall market capitalization and 2) Compass Planning does not have a material financial interest in any of the securities recommended to clients. We will try to avoid conflicts with clients, and we suspect that our focus on passive asset management and index strategies will help avoid any conflicts. In any case, the employees at Compass Planning will generally be “last in” and “last out” for the trading day when trading occurs in close proximity to client trades. We will not violate our fiduciary responsibilities to our clients. Scalping (trading shortly ahead of clients) is prohibited. Should a conflict occur because of materiality (i.e. a thinly traded stock), disclosure will be made to the client(s) at the time of trading. Incidental trading not deemed to be a conflict (i.e. a purchase or sale which is minimal in relation to the total outstanding value, and as such would have negligible effect on the market price), would not be disclosed at the time of trading. If it is determined that clients have been materially affected, a good faith effort will be made to determine the amount of impact for each client and reimbursements, if necessary, will be made. Compass Planning does not engage in principal or agency cross transactions. Item 12: Brokerage Practices Clients have the ultimate choice of where to custody their assets. When asked, Compass Planning will typically recommend Fidelity Investments or Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). Clients often already have accounts with, or familiarity with, a particular custodian’s website, service model, or 10 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc customer support. When a client has had a positive experience with a custodian, we will often recommend that the client continue to use the custodian with which they are most comfortable. Compass Planning is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with any broker-dealer or custodian. Our primary custodians are Fidelity and Schwab. Fidelity and Schwab provide access to a broad selection of no-load mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that may be traded without transaction charges, as well as other mutual funds that may be available at nominal transaction charges. Best Execution Compass Planning understands its duty to seek best execution and considers numerous factors when recommending broker-dealers or custodians, including competitiveness of commission rates, execution quality, responsiveness, ability to handle client trading instructions, and overall client service. Fidelity and Schwab have made many transactions commission-free and instead generate revenue through other sources such as payment for order flow, interest on cash balances, margin lending, and account-related fees (e.g., wire transfer or paper statement fees). While Compass Planning clients may not always obtain the lowest possible transaction cost, Compass Planning believes that the costs charged are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and custodial services provided. Institutional Platform Services and Soft Dollar Benefits For clients enrolled in our Planning by the Year service, Compass Planning may recommend that client accounts be custodied at Fidelity or Schwab to utilize their institutional platform services, which assist us in tracking accounts and executing trades. These services are provided through arrangements with National Financial Services LLC and Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (collectively, “Fidelity”) and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. The institutional platform services include brokerage, custody, and other related services, as well as software and technology that: (i) provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements) (ii) facilitate trade execution (iii) provide research, pricing, and other market data (iv) facilitate payment of advisory fees from client accounts (v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting Fidelity and Schwab also provide Compass Planning with certain brokerage and research products and services that qualify as “brokerage or research services” under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Compensation from a brokerage firm in the form of research, products, or services in exchange for brokerage business is commonly referred to as “soft dollars.” The availability of these services at no direct cost to Compass Planning may be considered a soft-dollar benefit and creates a conflict of interest by providing an incentive to recommend Fidelity or Schwab based on benefits received by Compass Planning rather than solely on the best interests of clients. NAPFA Membership and Mitigation of Conflicts 11 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc Compass Planning is a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), whose membership rules prohibit engaging in soft-dollar arrangements that are detrimental to clients. Accordingly, Compass Planning does not utilize discounted or bundled services offered by custodians if doing so would violate NAPFA standards or disadvantage clients. The primary factors considered when recommending a custodian include the custodian’s reputation, the quality and range of services offered, the custodian’s ability to support client investment strategies, the ease of integrating custodial data into Compass Planning’s systems, and our experience with the custodian. Compass Planning does not consider the value of research or non-research services when choosing or recommending a custodian. Custodial Fees and Compensation Fidelity and Schwab generally do not charge Compass Planning separate custodial fees for maintaining client accounts. Instead, they are compensated through various means including, but not limited to, commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees paid by account holders in connection with securities transactions that are executed through them or that settle into their accounts. These fees may include commissions on individual equity and debt securities transactions, transaction charges on certain no-load mutual funds, and compensation derived from cash sweep or core money market positions, which may pay lower interest rates than other available alternatives. Brokerage firms may also receive payment for order flow and other forms of remuneration from market makers or liquidity providers in connection with the execution of client trades. For more information regarding each custodian’s practices, clients are encouraged to review all custodial paperwork and agreements related to their broker accounts. Compass Planning does not receive any portion of any fees charged by Fidelity and Schwab. Directed Brokerage, Trade Aggregation, and Other Practices Compass Planning does not maintain relationships with custodians or broker-dealers for the purpose of receiving client referrals. Clients participating in the Planning by the Year service are not permitted to direct trades to broker-dealers other than the custodian holding their accounts (directed brokerage). Investment advice is provided on an individual account basis, and trades are executed individually. Compass Planning does not aggregate trades. Clients are responsible for commissions, transaction-related fees, and account-level fees charged by Fidelity or Schwab, as well as the internal management and advisory fees associated with mutual funds and ETFs held in their accounts. Item 13: Review of Accounts Accounts for clients enrolled in Compass Planning’s Planning by the Year service are generally reviewed in connection with scheduled client meetings and upon client request. Compass Planning and the client’s assigned planner review client accounts on a periodic basis, but no less frequently than annually. Account reviews may occur more frequently as circumstances warrant. Factors that may prompt additional reviews include, but are not limited to, changes in market conditions that result in material deviations from a client’s target asset allocation, changes in client circumstances, overall asset allocation reviews, or reviews of individual securities. Compass Planning’s investment philosophy emphasizes a 12 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc long-term, diversified, and largely passive asset allocation approach, which is intended to reduce the need for frequent trading or interim reviews. Financial plans prepared for clients engaging Compass Planning on an hourly or project basis represent a snapshot of the client’s financial situation at the time the plan is delivered. Compass Planning does not provide ongoing monitoring or periodic reviews for hourly or project-based engagements. However, such clients are encouraged to re-engage Compass Planning periodically, including on an annual basis, to review and update their financial and investment plans as circumstances change. Account reviews are performed by the client’s assigned planner. In addition, the Chief Compliance Officer and other designated compliance personnel conduct supervisory reviews as part of Compass Planning’s compliance and oversight program, including reviews related to investment objectives and adherence to firm policies and procedures. All clients receive regular account statements directly from their custodians or brokerage firms. Clients enrolled in the Planning by the Year service typically receive written investment reports in connection with review meetings. Reports are not routinely mailed or delivered outside of review meetings unless specifically requested by the client. Item 14: Client Referrals & Other Compensation Compass Planning does not compensate for client referrals. Compass Planning does not accept compensation for referrals made to other planning professionals. Item 15: Custody Compass Planning is deemed to have custody of client funds solely because of the fee deduction authority granted by the client in the investment advisory agreement. This applies to Planning by the Year clients only. Clients will receive account statements at least quarterly from their custodian. Planning by the Year clients also receive a statement from us that shows our fee and its calculation. All clients are urged to compare custodial account statements against reports prepared by Compass Planning for accuracy. Minor variations may occur because of reporting dates, accrual methods of interest and dividends, and other factors. The custodial statement is the official record of the client account for tax purposes. Please see Item 5: Fees and Compensation, for more information about direct deduction of fees. Item 16: Investment Discretion Clients will grant Compass Planning discretionary or non-discretionary trading authority over their client accounts. A limited power of attorney, limited to the power of executing trades will be obtained from clients engaged in Planning by the Year or in other special circumstances. Compass Planning will not have authority to withdraw funds or to take custody of client funds or securities, other than under the terms of the Fee Payment Authorization clause in the Agreement with 13 of 20 | Page 2026 Compass Planning Associates Inc Planning by the Year clients. Compass Planning does not have the ability to discount brokerage commissions. Item 17: Voting Client Securities Compass Planning does not vote proxies. It is the client's responsibility to vote proxies. Clients will receive proxy materials directly from the custodian.
