Item 4 - Advisory Business
A – Continental Investors Services, Inc. (“Continental”) has been providing
financial services to the investment community since 1991, primarily as a broker-
dealer registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). In an effort to continue a high
level of service to clients through its Investment Advisor Representatives
(“Advisors”) Continental filed for registration as a Registered Investment Advisor
in 2012. Continental is owned by two shareholders: Max Kamp (70.19%) and
Betty Jane Trembley (29.81%).
B – We offer portfolio management for individuals, small businesses, and non-profit organizations.
Our firm offers portfolios managed by Continental, Zacks, or Envestnet Portfolios.
Your Advisor will provide financial advice, asset management or investment management
services on a discretionary basis for a fee based on a percentage of assets under management
or a commission per transaction, but not both. In all cases, your investments will be tailored to
match your objectives and time horizon. The Advisor makes the recommendation as to which
model a customer will use depending on the customer’s suitability and objectives.
Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients’ needs and investment objectives using
suitability information collected from clients, including time horizon, financial needs, etc. If you
retain our firm for portfolio management services, we will meet with you to determine your
investment objectives, risk tolerance and other relevant information (the “suitability information”)
at the beginning of our advisory relationship to determine the best investments for your needs.
We will use the suitability information we gather to recommend an initial portfolio to you.
As part of our portfolio management services, we may customize an investment portfolio for you
in accordance with your risk tolerance and investing objectives and/or we may invest your assets
using a predefined strategy of one or more model portfolios. Once we construct an investment
portfolio or select a model portfolio for you, we will periodically monitor and rebalance/reallocate
the portfolio as per our agreement with you.
We offer access to multiple managers and allocation services through separate account
management platforms. Based on your needs and suitability, we may recommend or select
various account management platforms to manage all or a portion of your assets.
Advisory options include:
• Schwab I iRebal Platform – (formally Schwab Institutional Intelligent Portfolio) Offers
seven models with risk tolerances ranging from Conservative to Aggressive. After a risk
tolerance profile is completed, a suitable model is selected for the client and invested
accordingly. Models are rebalanced automatically on a continual basis.
• Envestnet Platform – Offers a wide variety of portfolio models. After a risk tolerance profile
is completed, a suitable model is selected for the client and invested accordingly.
Management fees will vary depending on the model.
CIS 9/16/25
4
• Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) on Schwab Advisor Platform – After a risk profile
is completed, a suitable portfolio is selected for the client and invested accordingly. There
are no additional transaction fees or other fees outside of the management fee.
• Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) – Bond Ladder portfolio. A commission is charged
on a per transaction basis. No additional management or advisory fees are charged.
• Zacks Investment Management, Inc. – SMA Accounts: After a risk profile is completed, a
suitable portfolio is selected for the client, invested accordingly by Zacks, and managed
by Zacks.
• Zacks Investment Management, Inc. – Pre-selected models: Offers six models with risk
tolerances ranging from Conservative to Ultra Aggressive. After a risk tolerance profile is
completed, a suitable model is selected for the client and invested accordingly. Models
are managed by Zacks.
• Discretionary advice for ERISA retirement plans at The Standard.
C – The firm tailors services to the individual needs of clients by assisting clients select the
portfolio that is most appropriate to their specific suitability needs from the portfolios offered. It is
important for you to provide your Advisor with information on your investment goals, time before
you will need to use your investments, and any other information that might impact the types of
investments recommended by your Advisor. Advisors will learn about your investment objectives
and time horizon through a variety of means, including interviews or questionnaires. All account
investment options are tailored to meet the suitability needs of each client.
D - The firm does not participate in any wrap fee program.
E - As of 9/16/25, Continental has 605 accounts under management on a discretionary basis
totaling $196,792,432.75. The firm maintains no accounts on a non-discretionary basis.
If you have a retirement plan (“Plan”) with Continental, services may include:
Portfolio management for individuals and/or small businesses
•
Portfolio management for non-profit organizations
•
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
A - Fees for services will be based on the amount of assets you have
managed by the Advisor or a commission per transaction, but not both. You
will be provided an advisory agreement that will outline the investment
management services to be provided by Continental, as well as a
description of the fees charged. Your advisory fees will be deducted from
your account on a quarterly basis automatically by Continental or the
custodian of your account. The fee will be charged in arrears.
CIS 9/16/25
5
All fees or commissions charged by Continental for investment management services are
separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange traded
funds (ETFs). In these cases, the 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. Accordingly, you should review both the fees charged by the funds/ETFs and the
fees charged by Continental to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid. Additionally,
the investments selected for you are not exclusively available to Continental and could be
obtained through other firms. The fee for the effective period is determined by the total billable
assets, multiplied by the annual fee rate divided by the number of days in the current year, and
multiplied by the number of days in the effective period. Advisor shall not be compensated based
on performance of the account.
Fees to be charged are shown on the advisory agreement but the standard advisory fee rate for
non-ERISA accounts may vary depending on model and custodian of assets being managed. For
ERISA plans, the standard fee may be lower or higher depending on the requirements of the
client, number of participants, asset level of the plan, complexity of the plan, etc. Fees for
separately managed institutional (i.e., non-profit) accounts are negotiated, as these types of
services require more time to manage than ETF-based portfolio options. At no time will clients
pay a combined fee of more than 1.75%.
Asset Management Fees
• Schwab iRebal Portfolio: 1.1% to Advisor. Billed quarterly in arrears. No Charles Schwab
platform fee.*
• Third-party management through Envestnet: 1% to Advisor and .75% maximum platform
fee, depending on which third-party money manager is chosen. (Factors that contribute to
variability in the Envestnet platform fee include trading frequency and account turnover
rates in sub-account options). Envestnet platform fees are set by Envestnet and are not
negotiable to Continental. Billed quarterly in arrears began 10/1/2024. If you choose
Charles Schwab as your Third-Party Asset Management Provider (“TAMP") for ABP
Accounts, you agree to pay Schwab a single periodic asset-based fee (“ABP Service Fee")
for each account, based on the amount of certain assets in each of your ABP Accounts to
which asset-based pricing (“ABP”) applies. The ABP Service Fee will be computed for
each of your ABP Accounts for each monthly Billing Period and charged in arrears on a
monthly basis. Currently .10% or $5/month minimum.
• Separately managed accounts: .75% to Advisor (to a maximum of 1.5%). Billed quarterly
in arrears. No Charles Schwab platform fee.*
• Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs) – Bond Ladder portfolio: A commission is charged
per transaction. The commission per transaction will generally reduce the yield to worst
by 10-15 basis points. At no time will this be more than 1.5%. No additional management
or advisory fees are charged. No Charles Schwab platform fee.*
• Zacks Investment Management, Inc. – SMA Accounts: 1.28% (1% to Advisor, 0.28%
Zacks platform fee). Billed quarterly in arrears. No Charles Schwab platform fee.*
CIS 9/16/25
6
• Zacks Investment Management, Inc. – Pre-selected models: 1.18% (1% to Advisor, 0.18%
Zacks platform fee). Billed quarterly in arrears. No Charles Schwab platform fee.*
• Discretionary advice to ERISA retirement plans held at The Standard: Negotiated
*In the future, Charles Schwab may initiate a platform fee.
With respect to all managed accounts, the fee for the effective period is determined by the total
billable assets, multiplied by the annual fee rate divided by number of days in the current year,
and multiplied by the number of days in the effective period. Advisors of the firm involved in
insurance activities do not receive economic benefit from third-party insurance companies,
including incentives, marketing allowances, and other practical support or benefits from the sale
for insurance products and their sponsors.
B - We will deduct our fee directly from your account through the qualified custodian holding your
funds and securities. We will deduct our advisory fee only when you have given our firm written
authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. With an SMA Bond Ladder
portfolio, fees are not billed quarterly. Commissions are paid at time of transaction. The qualified
custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly. You should review all
statements for accuracy.
C - In addition to Continental’s advisory fees, you are also responsible for the transaction
charges, fees and other expenses charged and imposed by the firm who holds your assets
(Custodian). Client Accounts managed by Envestnet who choose Charles Schwab as their
Third-Party Asset Manager (TAMP) for an Asset Based Pricing (ABP) Account will pay Charles
Schwab a periodic ABP Service Fee. Schwab will charge ABP Service Fees generally in lieu of
transaction-based fees and commissions for most Schwab Brokerage services to your ABP
Accounts.
In the event you or Continental terminates the advisory agreement during a quarter, the fee is
pro-rated for the portion of the quarter where services were provided. The termination date used
is the date Continental or Client notifies the other party in writing (to address of record) of the
termination. In the event the account is not available for electronically debiting the fee, Client
agrees to pay the invoice for the partial quarter within 30 days of receipt. You may terminate this
agreement within five (5) business days of the effective date of your agreement without any
penalty or fees.
Continental is both a FINRA member broker-dealer (“BD”) and an SEC-registered investment
advisor (“RIA”). Most Continental Advisors are also Registered Representatives (“RR’s”) with
Continental’s BD. The Advisor may recommend to clients or take orders from clients to sell or
purchase securities or insurance products, which may produce additional compensation
(commissions) for the Advisor. This can create a conflict of interest in that there may be a financial
incentive to recommend one product over another based on the amount of commission earned.
If you determine that you would like to have your brokerage investment(s) moved to an advisory
account, it is possible that Continental will receive an advisory fee on investments that previously
CIS 9/16/25
7
paid a commission in the brokerage account. Lower fees for comparable services may be
available from other sources.
D – Fees are paid in arrears.
E – Advisors are not compensated for the sale of securities or other investment products.
Item 6 - Performance Based Fees
Continental does not manage advisory services on performance-based fee
structure. Fees are calculated based on your asset level.
Item 7 - Types of Clients
Most of Continental Advisors’ clients are individuals, small businesses, and
non-profits.
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A – While the methods of analysis are constantly evolving, many decisions
and recommendations are made using the following:
• Quantitative Analysis (“QA”) – The material risks associated with QA
include
imperfections, limitations or inaccuracies in data that could affect the accuracy of the
analysis. Quantitative analysis methods cannot guarantee nor predict any level of
performance, nor that any client will avoid a loss of account assets.
• QA in finance is an approach that emphasizes mathematical and statistical analysis to
help determine the value of a financial asset, such as a stock or option. Quantitative
trading analysts (also known as "quants") use a variety of data – including historical
investment and stock market data – to develop trading algorithms and computer models.
To perform QA, Continental must rely on security and market information. Continental has
no control over the dissemination rate of market information. Therefore, unbeknownst to
Continental, certain analyses may be compiled with outdated market information, severely
limiting the value of the analysis. Furthermore, an accurate market analysis can only
produce a forecast of the direction of market values. There can be no assurances that a
forecasted change in market value will materialize into actionable and/or profitable
investment opportunities. QA methods cannot guarantee nor predict any level of
performance, nor that any client will avoid a loss of account assets.
CIS 9/16/25

• Modern Portfolio Theory – A mathematical framework for assembling a portfolio of assets
such that the expected return is maximized for a given level of risk. It is a formalization
and extension of diversification in investing; the idea that owning different kinds of financial
assets is less risky than owning only one type. Its key insight is that an asset's risk and
return should not be assessed by itself, but by how it contributes to a portfolio's overall
risk and return. It uses the variance of asset prices as a proxy for risk.
Modern Portfolio Theory cannot guarantee nor predict any level of performance, nor that
any client will avoid a loss of account assets. Modern Portfolio Theory assumes that
investors are risk adverse, meaning that given two portfolios that offer the same expected
return, investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an investor will take on increased risk
only if compensated by higher expected returns. Conversely, an investor who wants higher
expected returns must accept more risk. The exact trade-off will be the same for all
investors, but different investors will evaluate the trade-off differently based on individual
risk aversion characteristics. The implication is that a rational investor will not invest in a
portfolio if a second portfolio exists with a more favorable risk-expected return profile –
i.e., if for that level of risk an alternative portfolio exists which has better expected returns.
•
Investment Scoring Analysis – Investment analysis is a broad term for many different
methods of evaluating investments, industry sectors, and economic trends. It can include
charting past returns to predict future performance, selecting the type of investment that
best suits an investor's needs, or evaluating individual securities such as stocks and bonds
to determine their risks, yield potential, or price movements.
Continental may employ a proprietary or a third-party system that scores investments
based on quantitative methods. This scoring may be used in the analysis of investments
to a desired performance level. Investment Scoring Analysis techniques using quantitative
models perform differently than expected because of the factors used in the models, the
weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors’ historical trends, and technical
issues in the construction and implementation of the models. Investment Scoring Analysis
relies on data and information, the accuracy or rate of dissemination over which
Continental has no control. Investment Scoring Analysis methods cannot guarantee nor
predict any level of performance, nor that any client will avoid a loss of account assets.
Continental has the ability to construct your portfolio using a wide variety of investments, including
stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, closed end funds, unit investment trusts,
and other investments available through the brokerage firm where your assets are held in custody.
Additionally, a large cash position may be utilized, the value of which is included in the calculation
of your advisory fee. However, there will be no charge for a static cash position held in your
portfolio. Various investment strategies may be used: Long Term Purchases – investments
purchased with the expectation to hold the position over a long period of time, typically longer
than one year. Short Term Purchases – investments purchased with the expectation that the
position will be sold within a short period of time.
CIS 9/16/25

B - Investing has various risks as all investments have the risk of losing value. Some investments
have the risk of defaulting on interest or principal payments. Investors are also faced with the risk
that inflation will outpace the returns of the investment, which lowers the purchasing power of that
investor. Rebalancing your portfolio may cause taxable events, which could raise your taxes.
Investing in options incurs the risk of the option expiring as well as going down in value. It is
important that you understand that there are numerous risks associated with your investments.
Please discuss any risk concerns you have with your Advisor.
Third-party sub-managers on the Envestnet Platform do have a risk profile to the extent their
actions are not directly controlled by Continental. This risk is mitigated by regulatory oversight of
the sub-advisor and the fact Continental reviews investment decisions of the Advisor, which are
compared to client suitability standards. Advisor-created portfolio models may yield less than
expected results due to market conditions, unforeseen events, currency fluctuations, human error,
geopolitical events, and other circumstances that cannot be anticipated ahead of time.
C – Continental does not utilize leveraged or inverse ETFs as part of its portfolio construction.
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
As a Registered Investment Advisor, Continental is required to disclose
material facts regarding legal or disciplinary events that would be material
to an evaluation of Continental or its Advisors. Continental has not been
the subject of any criminal, civil or other disciplinary actions directly related
to its investment advisory business.
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
A – As mentioned above, Continental is both a broker-dealer and registered
investment advisor with a common CRD number of 29775. It is
possible that Advisors may have non-advisory income producing activities from the sale
of life insurance.
Continental’s primary business is a full-service brokerage firm with a fixed income trading
desk, incorporated in the state of Washington. Continental is also an SEC-registered
advisory firm. Advisors may hold a life insurance license enabling them to sell life
insurance and fixed annuities. Should an investment advisory client wish to purchase life
insurance from Continental or its Advisors with assets that are not advisory assets, the
client will pay the premium or commission on those assets that are separate and distinct
from any advisory fees paid on advisory assets. In addition, clients must be aware that
annuities may have surrender penalties. Continental may receive trailing commissions
from the sale of insurance products.
CIS 9/16/25
10
Sale of life insurance products and/or services may present a potential conflict of interest,
as such sales can generate additional income for the investment advisor. Continental
addresses this conflict of interest by advising clients of the income from insurance sales
prior to a transaction and advising of other investment options.
Northwest Financial Services is an insurance agency separately owned and operated by
Max Kamp, CEO, President and Chief Compliance Officer of Continental. Mr. Kamp
spends less than 5% of his time offering insurance products.
B – Neither Continental nor any of its associates will be registered, or apply to be
registered as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity
trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities. Continental does not
utilize third-party investment advisors but if they did it would only be after ensuring the
third-party advisors are properly licensed and registered.
C – Continental does not receive compensation or reimbursement from any third-party
money managers or investment platforms such as Schwab, Envestnet, and Zacks.
D – Mr. Kamp donates approximately 4-5 hours a month as an Advisory Board
Member of the Southwest Washington Community Foundation and the Rose
Foundation.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, Personal
Securities Accounts
A – Continental is committed to conducting its business affairs honestly and
ethically. This Code of Ethics (“Code”) provides a general statement of the
expectations of Continental regarding the ethical standards that each
director, officer, and employee should adhere to while acting on behalf of
Continental. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out
basic principles to guide all employees, officers, and directors of
Continental. At no time does an Advisor recommend to a client a security
in which the Advisor or a related person has a material financial interest.
B – Continental Advisors and their related persons may invest in the same securities as clients.
For example, an Advisor may own an individual security or model that is available on our advisory
platform.
C – All employees, officers and directors must conduct themselves in accordance with this Code
of Ethics and seek to avoid even the appearance of improper behavior. This Code of Ethics
applies to all officers, full- and part-time employees, contract workers, consultants, directors, and
anyone who conducts business with Continental. Conduct in violation of this policy is
CIS 9/16/25
11
unacceptable and any person who violates this Code will be subject to disciplinary action, up to
and including termination of his or her employment or engagement. A copy of our Code of Ethics
is available upon request by calling us at (360) 423-5110.
D – If you have both a brokerage account and an advisory account, a commission will be charged
on the BD transactions, as opposed to a management-based fee on the advisory side. It is the
policy of Continental to permit the firm, its employees, RRs and Advisors to buy, sell, and hold
the same securities that the Advisor also recommends to clients. It is acknowledged and
understood that Continental provides investment services for various clients with varying
investment goals and risk profiles. As such, the investment advice may differ between clients.
Continental will have no obligation to recommend for purchase or sale a security which
Continental, its principals, affiliates, employees, RRs or Advisors may purchase, sell, or hold.
When a decision is made to trade a security from all applicable accounts, priority is always given
to the client’s orders, although there are no internal trading rules that state that client orders must
be before or after trades of an Advisor. This may result in different execution prices for the client
that may be higher or lower than the price received or paid by the Advisor.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
A – All transactions enacted by your Advisor are made through the
Custodian. The Custodian holds your assets and provides the trading and
custody platform used by the Advisor. Neither Continental nor your Advisor
has the authority to determine fees and charges assessed by the
in research, soft dollar
Custodian. Continental does not engage
arrangements or benefits, payment for client referrals, or directed
brokerage.
B – Factors used to determine which custodian to recommend include trading costs, electronic
access to trading and client accounts, discounts on software, products and services, compliance,
research and technology and other operational support that may benefit Continental or the
Advisor, but not you. This could create a conflict that the recommendation of the custodian is
based on the research and products or services and not based on the custodian providing the
best execution for transactions in your accounts. The custodian recommended by the Advisor for
non-ERISA accounts will be Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. or RBC. Charles Schwab is an
independent and unaffiliated broker-dealer that also provides custodial services for assets on the
Envestnet platform. Continental does not permit clients to direct brokerage services.
In some cases, Continental or the Advisor may aggregate or block trade multiple client accounts.
Doing so allows some efficiency in the transactions, although it does not ensure that you will
receive a reduction in trading costs or a better execution price than if your trade was enacted
separately. Cost efficiencies lost from not aggregating block trades vary but will generally be
higher than non-aggregated account transactions.
CIS 9/16/25
12
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
A – Accounts are reviewed by the Advisor on an annual basis. Clients may
request a review as their personal circumstances dictate. A centralized
review of Advisory accounts is performed on an annual basis by the firm’s
Chief Compliance Officer.
B – Triggers for reviews could include economic or market activity, life changes indicated by the
client, client requests, or other factors. Annual compliance reviews also include random account
selection for suitability review. We ask that you immediately contact your Advisor if any material
changes occur in your personal financial situation, such as loss of employment, illness,
inheritance, or any other factor that could materially change your investment objectives and/or
risk tolerance.
C – Additionally, all accounts will be monitored under current FINRA/SEC Broker-Dealer
guidelines. Quarterly reports from the Custodian are delivered to clients; you should review all
statements for accuracy.
Continental may provide you with reports which may have a different value than statements
provided by the Custodian. This difference could be attributed to trade date versus settlement
date reconciliations or accrued interest. Please rely on the Custodian statement for the value of
your account. In most cases, you are provided electronic access to review your accounts.
Advisor activities are reviewed and supervised by the Continental home office. Reviews are
conducted on a regular basis and will be completed by Max Kamp, the Chief Compliance Officer.
The review includes the pre-approval of new accounts, the appropriateness of the investments
and the general activities of the accounts. For questions on supervision of Advisors, please call
us at (360) 423-5110.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As noted in the Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations section
above, Continental and the Advisors receive compensation from their
affiliation with Continental’s Broker-Dealer that is separate and distinct from
registered investment advisor activities. Continental does not receive
compensation from outside parties including sales awards, contests, or
prizes. Continental does not directly or indirectly compensate any solicitor
or person for client referrals.
Item 15 - Custody
Continental allows customers to open accounts directly with our firm, a
process that can constitute custody of customer funds and securities.
Continental maintains safeguards and adheres to the safekeeping
CIS 9/16/25
13
requirements of customer funds and securities including forwarding of
customer funds and securities to third-party custodians. At no time does
Continental maintain ongoing custody of client assets, but rather forwards
those assets to the custodial firm.
The Custodian will send, at least quarterly, a statement showing all transactions occurring in the
account during the period covered by the account statement and the funds, securities, and other
property in the account at the end of the period. It is important for you to rely on the statement
from the Custodian (Charles Schwab/CRD 5393 or RBC/CRD 31194) or Envestnet/CRD 109662
to obtain the value of your account, a process we are happy to assist you with at any time.
For illiquid investments, Continental and the Advisor will rely on the Custodian to present values
based upon information currently available in various markets or other nationally recognized
sources, as reported by the Custodian.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
Advisors manage accounts for clients on a discretionary basis. If you grant
Continental discretion by written authority, investments can be bought or
sold in your account without obtaining permission for each transaction.
ERISA plans are also managed on a discretionary basis. Trades may be
made on a discretionary basis by Continental or its sub-advisors to
rebalance and/or reallocate the portfolio to maintain the objectives of the
portfolio as agreed upon. Continental’s discretionary authority in selecting
third-party managers is evidenced by client’s signature on the account
agreement.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities (Proxy Voting)
Continental does not have voting authority nor will give any advice for proxy
voting for client securities. Clients will receive proxies directly from the
Custodian and may contact Continental anytime for assistance with proxy
questions.
Item 18 - Financial Information
is required
financial
request any
Continental
information or

disclosures about its financial condition. Continental has not been the
subject of any bankruptcy proceeding. Continental has been a Washington
State Corporation since 1991.To
