We are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of DE. We have been providing investment advisory services since May 2021. We are primarily owned by Steven T. Nelson, CFA, Chairman. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our" and "us" refer to Faith Investor Services, and the words "you," "your" and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm. Also, you may see the term associated person throughout this brochure. As used in this brochure, our associated persons are our firm's officers, employees, and all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of our firm. Investment Management Services Faith Investor Services provides investment management services to a registered investment company, individuals, high net worth individuals, not-for-profit and other institutions. Faith Investor Services specializes in global investment management and also provides wealth management services. We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you participate in our discretionary portfolio management services, we require you to grant us discretionary authority to manage your account. Subject to a grant of discretionary authorization, we have the authority and responsibility to formulate investment strategies on your behalf. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without obtaining your approval prior to each transaction. We will also have discretion over the broker or dealer to be used for securities transactions in your account. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm, a power of attorney, or trading authorization forms. In providing account management services, we do not accept client restrictions on the specific securities or the types of securities that may be held in your account. Financial Planning Services We offer financial planning services which typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to clients regarding the management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs. These services can range from broad-based financial planning to consultative or single subject planning. If you retain our firm for financial planning services, we will meet with you to gather information about your financial circumstances and objectives. We may also use financial planning software to determine your current financial position and to define and quantify your long-term goals and objectives. Once we specify those long-term objectives (both financial and non-financial), we will develop shorter-term, targeted objectives. Once we review and analyze the information you provide to our firm and the data derived from our financial planning software, we will deliver a written plan to you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and objectives. Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present the plan to you, and on the financial information you provide to us. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change. 4 You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any of our other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing securities transactions with any brokerage firm. Selection of Other Advisers We may recommend that you use the services of a third party money manager ("TPMM") to manage all, or a portion of, your investment portfolio. After gathering information about your financial situation and objectives, we may recommend that you engage a specific TPMM or investment program. Factors that we take into consideration when making our recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the following: the TPMM's performance, methods of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We will monitor the TPMM(s)' performance to ensure its management and investment style remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives. The TPMM(s) will actively manage your portfolio and will assume discretionary investment authority over your account. We will assume discretionary authority to hire and fire TPMM(s) and/or reallocate your assets to other TPMM(s) where we deem such action appropriate. Wrap Fee Program(s) We are a portfolio manager to and sponsor of a wrap fee program, which is a type of investment program that provides clients with access to several money managers or mutual fund asset allocation models for a single fee that includes administrative fees, management fees, and commissions. If you participate in our wrap fee program, you will pay our firm a single fee, which includes our money management fees, certain transaction costs, and custodial and administrative costs. We receive a portion of the wrap fee for our services. The overall cost you will incur if you participate in our wrap fee program may be higher or lower than you might incur by separately purchasing the types of securities available in the program. Transactions for your account must be executed by Charles Schwab, a securities broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. To compare the cost of the wrap fee program with non-wrap fee portfolio management services, you should consider the frequency of trading activity associated with our investment strategies and the brokerage commissions charged by or other broker-dealers, and the advisory fees charged by investment advisers. For more information concerning the Wrap Fee Program, see Appendix 1 to this Brochure. Faith Investor Services manages a wrap fee program and provides continuous portfolio management. Advisory services are described in the financial services agreements ("FSA") negotiated with clients prior to provision of advisory services. All information contained in this Brochure is based on the advisory services that Faith Investor Services offers. No disclosure or other statement contained in this brochure serves as a substitute or shall supersede any of the terms and conditions in the FSAs. To the extent any of the statements herein conflict with the FSAs, such FSAs shall govern, and Faith Investor Services and its clients will be bound by the terms, fees, conditions, risks and other relevant information contained in the FSAs. Custody Advisory Services for Accounts Not Directly held in FIS We provide an additional service for accounts not directly held in our custody, but where we do have discretion, and may leverage an Order Management System to implement tax-efficient asset location and opportunistic rebalancing strategies on behalf of the client. These are primarily 401(k) accounts, 5 HSA's. We regularly review the available investment options in these accounts, monitor them, and rebalance and implement our strategies in the same way we do other accounts, though using different tools as necessary Participant Account Management (Discretionary) We use a third-party platform to facilitate management of held away assets such as defined contribution plan participant accounts, with discretion. The platform allows us to avoid being considered to have custody of Client funds since we do not have direct access to Client log-in credentials to affect trades. We are not affiliated with the platform in any way and receive no compensation from them for using their platform. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once Client account(s) is connected to the platform, Adviser will review the current account allocations. When deemed necessary, Adviser will rebalance the account considering client investment goals and risk tolerance, and any change in allocations will consider current economic and market trends. The goal is to improve account performance over time, minimize loss during difficult markets, and manage internal fees that harm account performance. Client account(s) will be reviewed at least quarterly and allocation changes will be made as deemed necessary. Types of Investments We primarily offer advice on ETF. Refer to the Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss below for additional disclosures on this topic. Additionally, we may advise you on various types of investments based on your stated goals and objectives. We may also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our advisory relationship. Since our investment strategies and advice are based on each client's specific financial situation, the investment advice we provide to you may be different or conflicting with the advice we give to other clients regarding the same security or investment. In general, we manage wrap fee accounts on a discretionary basis. Wrap fee accounts are typically more appropriate for active accounts and are managed accordingly. If you participate in a wrap fee program, we will provide you with a separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure explaining the program and costs associated with the program. You should also review this Part 2A thoroughly to evaluate any differences between the services we offer as wrap versus non-wrap. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2025, we provide continuous management services for $243,635,414 in client assets on a discretionary basis. Item 5 Fees and Compensation Portfolio Management Services Our fee for portfolio management services is based on a percentage of the assets in your account and is set forth in the following annual fee schedule: Generally, fees are payable quarterly on assets under management in advance for the quarter. Fees are billed immediately following the close of each calendar quarter and are due upon receipt. Fees are pro-rated for asset additions prior to the end of the calendar quarter based on the number of days under management during the period. Fees are collected and billed in advance; accordingly, Faith 6 Investor Services does not contemplate a situation where it will be necessary to issue a refund of advanced fees to a client unless a client terminates the relationship. In this case, a pro-rata refund will be issued. Generally, FIS client fees (excluding PRAY and KOCG) are based upon a percentage of assets under management, and our general annual Wrap fee schedules are as follows (note: all fees are negotiable at the firm's discretion): Over $7,500,000 1% per annum Over $5,000,000 1.25% per annum Over $3,000,000 1.50% per annum Below $3,000,000 1.60% per annum Not-for-profit and Institutional Client Fees are negotiable. If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar quarter, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related accounts. Combining account values may increase the asset total, which may result in your paying a reduced advisory fee based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule stated above. 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. We will send you an invoice showing the amount of the fee. Further, the qualified custodian will deliver an account statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements will show all disbursements from your account. You should review all statements for accuracy. You may terminate the portfolio management agreement upon written request. You will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the portfolio management agreement, which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. If you have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of those fees. Financial Planning Services The fee is negotiable depending upon the complexity and scope of the plan, your financial situation, and your objectives. Should the engagement last longer than six months between acceptance of financial planning agreement and delivery of the financial plan, any prepaid unearned fees will be promptly returned to you less a pro rata charge for bona fide financial planning services rendered to date. Fees are due at the completion of the service. We will not require prepayment of a fee more than six months in advance and in excess of $1,200. 7 At our discretion, we may offset our financial planning fees to the extent you implement the financial plan through our Portfolio Management Service. You may terminate the financial planning agreement upon written notice to our firm. If you have pre- paid financial planning fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of those fees. If financial planning fees are payable in arrears, you will be responsible for a prorated fee based on services performed prior to termination of the financial planning agreement. Selection of Other Advisers We do not charge you a separate fee for the selection of other advisers. We will share in the advisory fee you pay directly to the TPMM. The advisory fee you pay to the TPMM is established and payable in accordance with the brochure provided by each TPMM to whom you are referred. These fees may or may not be negotiable. Our compensation may differ depending upon the individual agreement we have with each TPMM. As such, a conflict of interest exists where our firm or persons associated with our firm has an incentive to recommend one TPMM over another TPMM with whom we have more favorable compensation arrangements or other advisory programs offered by TPMMs with whom we have less or no compensation arrangements. Advisory fees charged by TPMMs are separate and apart from our advisory fees. Assets managed by TPMMs will be included in calculating our advisory fee, which is based on the fee schedule set forth in the Portfolio Management Services section in this brochure. Advisory fees that you pay to the TPMM are established and payable in accordance with the brochure provided by each TPMM to whom you are referred. These fees may or may not be negotiable. You should review the recommended TPMM's brochure and take into consideration the TPMM's fees along with our fees to determine the total amount of fees associated with this program. Our recommendations to use third party money managers are included in our portfolio management fee. We do not charge you a separate fee for the selection of other advisers nor will we share in the advisory fee you pay directly to the TPMM. Advisory fees that you pay to the TPMM are established and payable in accordance with the Form ADV Part 2 or other equivalent disclosure document provided by each TPMM to whom you are referred. These fees may or may not be negotiable. You should review the recommended TPMM's brochure for information on its fees and services. You may be required to sign an agreement directly with the recommended TPMM(s). You may terminate your advisory relationship with the TPMM according to the terms of your agreement with the TPMM. You should review each TPMM's brochure for specific information on how you may terminate your advisory relationship with the TPMM and how you may receive a refund, if applicable. You should contact the TPMM directly for questions regarding your advisory agreement with the TPMM. Additional Fees and Expenses Faith Investor Services fees are described generally below and detailed in each client's FSA, advisory agreement and/or applicable account documents. As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in exchange-traded funds ("ETF's") and mutual funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by such funds (described in the fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. The exception is that investments in PRAY (FIS Christian Stock Fund (NYSE:PRAY)) and KOCG (FIS Knights of Columbus Global Belief ETF (NYSE: KOCG)) do result in additional compensation to Faith Investor Services. These fees will generally include a management fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We 8 do not share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by mutual funds, our firm, and others. For information on our brokerage practices, refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure. Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed as independent insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with our firm. We have a fiduciary duty to act in our client's best interest including the duty to seek best execution. Therefore, our mutual fund selection and recommendation process takes into consideration several factors in order to meet this requirement. See the Brokerage Practices section for additional information on our mutual fund share class selection process. Wrap Fee Program FIS is compensated under a wrap fee program as the manager of the wrap fee program. A wrap fee program generally involves an investment account where you are charged a single, bundled, or "wrap" fee for investment advice, brokerage services, administrative expenses, and other fees and expenses. While wrap fee programs may be called different names—such as asset allocation program, asset management program, investment management program, mini-account, uniform managed account, or separately managed account—the defining feature is that they offer bundled investment management and brokerage services for one fee. There is typically a "sponsor" for a wrap fee program, i.e., the person that, for a portion of the fee, sponsors, organizes, or administers the program or selects, or provides advice to clients regarding the selection of, other investment advisers in the program. In a wrap fee program, your fee is generally based on a percentage of the value of your account, rather than upon transactions in your account. It might be appealing to pay one fee that covers most or all of your investment expenses—but you should be sure you understand what you are actually getting for your money. Because wrap fee programs bundle services into a single fee, total fees to a client in a wrap fee program may be more or less than obtaining such services separately. In general, as a client, a wrap fee based on the value of assets in your investment account may be less if there is a lot of trading activity in your account and the wrap fee covers the costs for executing all or most of the trades. But if there is little or no trading activity in your advisory account or the trades being made would not otherwise have a transaction fee, a wrap fee arrangement may cost more than separately paying for the services. You should check your account statements to review the level of trading, and periodically talk to your adviser about the level of trading in your account, the fees involved, and what sort of account makes sense for you. Of course, there may be considerations other than cost, like access to certain managers, that make a wrap fee program right for you. Details on our investment professional's background and qualifications, as well as a copy of FIS wrap fee program brochure, are available on the SEC's Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website or on the SEC's website for individual investors, Investor.gov. If you have any questions about how to check the background of an investment professional, you can call the SEC's toll-free investor assistance line at (800) 732-0330 for help. 9 Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management We do not accept performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. • Performance-based fees are fees that are based on a share of a capital gains or capital appreciation of a client's account. • Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. Our fees are calculated as described in the Fees and Compensation section above, and are not charged on the basis of a share of capital gains upon, or capital appreciation of, the funds in your advisory account. Item 7 Types of Clients We offer investment advisory services to Registered Investment Companies, Wrap Fee Programs, Individuals, High Net worth Individuals Not-for-profit and Institutional clients. • • • • • In general, we require a $100,000 minimum dollar amount to open and maintain an advisory account; though this too is negotiable. We reserve the right to terminate your Account if it falls below a minimum size which, in our sole opinion, is too small to manage effectively. Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Our Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies We use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when providing investment advice to you: Charting Analysis - involves the gathering and processing of price and volume pattern information for a particular security, sector, broad index or commodity. This price and volume pattern information is analyzed. The resulting pattern and correlation data is used to detect departures from expected performance and diversification and predict future price movements and trends. Risk: Our charting analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. Technical Analysis - involves studying past price patterns, trends and interrelationships in the financial markets to assess risk-adjusted performance and predict the direction of both the overall market and specific securities. 10 Risk: The risk of market timing based on technical analysis is that our analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. Fundamental Analysis - involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a company's financial statements, details regarding the company's product line, the experience and expertise of the company's management, and the outlook for the company and its industry. The resulting data is used to measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current market value. Risk: The risk of fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance. Cyclical Analysis - a type of technical analysis that involves evaluating recurring price patterns and trends. Economic/business cycles may not be predictable and may have many fluctuations between long-term expansions and contractions. Risk: The lengths of economic cycles may be difficult to predict with accuracy and therefore the risk of cyclical analysis is the difficulty in predicting economic trends and consequently the changing value of securities that would be affected by these changing trends. Long-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year. Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in the long-term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other investments. Short-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short- term price fluctuations. Risk: Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate changes, cyclical earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of times. Margin Transactions - a securities transaction in which an investor borrows money to purchase a security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan. Risk: If the value of the shares drops sufficiently, the investor will be required to either deposit more cash into the account or sell a portion of the stock in order to maintain the margin requirements of the account. This is known as a "margin call." An investor's overall risk includes the amount of money invested plus the amount that was loaned to them. 11 Option Writing - a securities transaction that involves selling an option. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a particular security at a specified price on or before the expiration date of the option. When an investor sells a call option, he or she must deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer exercises the option. When an investor sells a put option, he or she must pay the strike price per share if the buyer exercises the option, and will receive the specified number of shares. The option writer/seller receives a premium (the market price of the option at a particular time) in exchange for writing the option. Risk: Options are complex investments and can be very risky, especially if the investor does not own the underlying stock. In certain situations, an investor's risk can be unlimited. Option Buying: Prior to buying or selling an option, investors must read a copy of the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, also known as the options disclosure document (ODD). It explains the characteristics and risks of exchange traded options. In general, like other securities, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds, options carry no guarantees. Be aware that it's possible to lose the entire principal invested, and sometimes more. As an options holder, you risk the entire amount of the premium you pay. Trading - We may use frequent trading (in general, selling securities within 30 days of purchasing the same securities) as an investment strategy when managing your account(s). Frequent trading is not a fundamental part of our overall investment strategy, but we may use this strategy occasionally when we determine that it is suitable given your stated investment objectives and tolerance for risk. This may include buying and selling securities frequently in an effort to capture significant market gains and avoid significant losses. Risk: When a frequent trading policy is in effect, there is a risk that investment performance within your account may be negatively affected, particularly through increased brokerage and other transactional costs and taxes. Our investment strategies and advice may vary depending upon each client's specific financial situation. As such, we determine investments and allocations based upon your predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial information, liquidity needs and other various suitability factors. Your restrictions and guidelines may affect the composition of your portfolio. It is important that you notify us immediately with respect to any material changes to your financial circumstances, including for example, a change in your current or expected income level, tax circumstances, or employment status. Tax Considerations Our strategies and investments may have unique and significant tax implications. However, unless we specifically agree otherwise, and in writing, tax efficiency is not our primary consideration in the management of your assets. Regardless of your account size or any other factors, we strongly recommend that you consult with a tax professional regarding the investing of your assets. Custodians and broker-dealers must report the cost basis of equities acquired in client accounts. Your custodian will default to the high cost long-term accounting method for calculating the cost basis of your investments. You are responsible for contacting your tax advisor to determine if this accounting method is the right choice for you. If your tax advisor believes another accounting method is more advantageous, provide written notice to our firm immediately and we will alert your account custodian of your individually selected accounting method. 12 Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. We do not represent or guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections or declines. We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Past performance is in no way an indication of future performance. Other Risk Considerations When evaluating risk, financial loss may be viewed differently by each client and may depend on many different risks, each of which may affect the probability and magnitude of any potential losses. The following risks may not be all-inclusive, but should be considered carefully by a prospective client before retaining our services. Liquidity Risk: The risk of being unable to sell your investment at a fair price at a given time due to high volatility or lack of active liquid markets. You may receive a lower price or it may not be possible to sell the investment at all. Credit Risk: Credit risk typically applies to debt investments such as corporate, municipal, and sovereign fixed income or bonds. A bond issuing entity can experience a credit event that could impair or erase the value of an issuer's securities held by a client. Inflation and Interest Rate Risk: Security prices and portfolio returns will likely vary in response to changes in inflation and interest rates. Inflation causes the value of future dollars to be worth less and may reduce the purchasing power of a client's future interest payments and principal. Inflation also generally leads to higher interest rates which may cause the value of many types of fixed income investments to decline. Horizon and Longevity Risk: The risk that your investment horizon is shortened because of an unforeseen event, for example, the loss of your job. This may force you to sell investments that you were expecting to hold for the long term. If you must sell at a time that the markets are down, you may lose money. Longevity Risk is the risk of outliving your savings. This risk is particularly relevant for people who are retired, or are nearing retirement. Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities We primarily recommend ETFs. However, we may advise on other types of investments as appropriate for you since each client has different needs and different tolerance for risk. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks associated with it and it would not be possible to list here all of the specific risks of every type of investment. Even within the same type of investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very general terms, the higher the anticipated return of an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated with the investment. Money Market Funds: A money market fund is technically a security. The fund managers attempt to keep the share price constant at $1/share. However, there is no guarantee that the share price will stay at $1/share. If the share price goes down, you can lose some or all of your principal. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") notes that "While investor losses in money market funds have been rare, they are possible." In return for this risk, you should earn a greater return on your cash than you would expect from a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured savings account (money market funds are not FDIC insured). Next, money market fund rates are variable. In other words, you do not know how much you will earn on your investment next month. The rate could go up or go down. If it goes up, that may result in a positive outcome. However, if it goes down and you earn less than you expected to earn, you may end up needing more cash. A final risk you are taking with money market funds has to do with inflation. Because money market funds are 13 considered to be safer than other investments like stocks, long-term average returns on money market funds tends to be less than long term average returns on riskier investments. Over long periods of time, inflation can eat away at your returns. Certificates of Deposit: Certificates of deposit ("CD") are generally a safe type of investment since they are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to a certain amount. However, because the returns are generally low, there is risk that inflation outpaces the return of the CD. Certain CDs are traded in the market place and not purchased directly from a banking institution. In addition to trading risk, when CDs are purchased at a premium, the premium is not covered by the FDIC. Municipal Securities: Municipal securities, while generally thought of as safe, can have significant risks associated with them including, but not limited to: the credit worthiness of the governmental entity that issues the bond; the stability of the revenue stream that is used to pay the interest to the bondholders; when the bond is due to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character paying the same amount of interest or yield to maturity. Bonds: Corporate debt securities (or "bonds") are typically safer investments than equity securities, but their risk can also vary widely based on: the financial health of the issuer; the risk that the issuer might default; when the bond is set to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character paying the same rate of return. Stocks: There are numerous ways of measuring the risk of equity securities (also known simply as "equities" or "stock"). In very broad terms, the value of a stock depends on the financial health of the company issuing it. However, stock prices can be affected by many other factors including, but not limited to the class of stock (for example, preferred or common); the health of the market sector of the issuing company; and, the overall health of the economy. In general, larger, better established companies ("large cap") tend to be safer than smaller start-up companies ("small cap") are but the mere size of an issuer is not, by itself, an indicator of the safety of the investment. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds: Mutual funds and exchange traded funds ("ETF") are professionally managed collective investment systems that pool money from many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual funds, other securities, or any combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment objective. FIS is the Investment Advisor for the ETFs ticker symbols PRAY and KOCG. While mutual funds and ETFs generally provide diversification, risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market, primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing the fund with different types of securities. ETFs differ from mutual funds since they can be bought and sold throughout the day like stock and their price can fluctuate throughout the day. The returns on mutual funds and ETFs can be reduced by the costs to manage the funds. Also, while some mutual funds are "no load" and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, the fund, other types of mutual funds do charge such fees which can also reduce returns. Mutual funds can also be "closed end" or "open end". So-called "open end" mutual funds continue to allow in new investors indefinitely whereas "closed end" funds have a fixed number of shares to sell which can limit their availability to new investors. ETFs may have tracking error risks. For example, the ETF investment adviser may not be able to cause the ETF's performance to match that of its Underlying Index or other benchmark, which may negatively affect the ETF's performance. In addition, an ETF may not have investment exposure to all 14 of the securities included in its Underlying Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may vary from that of the Underlying Index. Some ETFs may invest in securities or financial instruments that are not included in the Underlying Index, but which are expected to yield similar performance. Derivatives: Derivatives are types of investments where the investor does not own the underlying asset. There are many different types of derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, swaps, futures, and forward contracts. Derivatives have numerous uses as well as various risks associated with them, but they are generally considered an alternative way to participate in the market. Investors typically use derivatives for three reasons: to hedge a position, to increase leverage, or to speculate on an asset's movement. The key to making a sound investment is to fully understand the characteristics and risks associated with the derivative, including, but not limited to counter-party, underlying asset, price, and expiration risks. The use of a derivative only makes sense if the investor is fully aware of the risks and understands the impact of the investment within a portfolio strategy. Due to the variety of available derivatives and the range of potential risks, a detailed explanation of derivatives is beyond the scope of this disclosure. Structured Products: A structured product, also known as a market-linked product, is generally a pre- packaged investment strategy based on derivatives, such as a single security, a basket of securities, options, indices, commodities, debt issuances, and/or foreign currencies, and to a lesser extent, swaps. Structured products are usually issued by investment banks or affiliates thereof. They have a fixed maturity, and have two components: a note and a derivative. The derivative component is often an option. The note provides for periodic interest payments to the investor at a predetermined rate, and the derivative component provides for the payment at maturity. Some products use the derivative component as a put option written by the investor that gives the buyer of the put option the right to sell to the investor the security or securities at a predetermined price. Other products use the derivative component to provide for a call option written by the investor that gives the buyer of the call option the right to buy the security or securities from the investor at a predetermined price. A feature of some structured products is a "principal guarantee" function, which offers protection of principal if held to maturity. However, these products are not always Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured; they may only be insured by the issuer, and thus have the potential for loss of principal in the case of a liquidity crisis, or other solvency problems with the issuing company. Investing in structured products involves a number of risks including but not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying instruments, interest rates, currency values and credit quality; substantial loss of principal; limits on participation in any appreciation of the underlying instrument; limited liquidity; credit risk of the issuer; conflicts of interest; and, other events that are difficult to predict. Futures: Futures are financial contracts obligating the buyer to purchase an asset (or the seller to sell an asset), such as a physical commodity or a financial instrument, at a predetermined future date and price. The primary difference between options and futures is that options give the holder the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at expiration, while the holder of a futures contract is obligated to fulfill the terms of his/her contract. Buyers and sellers in the futures market primarily enter into futures contracts to hedge risk or speculate rather than to exchange physical goods. Futures are not only for speculating. They may be used for hedging or may be a more efficient instrument to trade than the underlying asset. Item 9 Disciplinary Information We are required to disclose the facts of any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client's evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management. We do not have any required disclosures under this item. 15 Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Arrangements with Affiliated Entities We are affiliated with Capital Insight Partners through common control and ownership. We will recommend that you use the services of our affiliate if appropriate and suitable for your needs. Our advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees paid to our affiliate for their services. Additionally, clients of the firm who are invested in proprietary ETFs within their investment account will pay the management fee associated with the ETF (expense ratio) and will also pay the advisory fee indicated on their client agreement with the firm for the investment advisory services provided under that agreement. FIS will receive compensation as a manager of these ETFs. Referral arrangements with an affiliated entity present a conflict of interest for us because we will have a direct or indirect financial incentive to recommend an affiliated firm's services (Capital Insight Partners will be compensated if it is recommended as the money manager). While we believe that compensation charged by an affiliated firm is competitive, such compensation may be higher than fees charged by other firms providing the same or similar services. You are under no obligation to use the services of any firm we recommend, whether affiliated or otherwise, and may obtain comparable services and/or lower fees through other firms. Insurance Some of our IARs are also licensed insurance agents and sell various life insurance products. Typically, these products consist of long-term care and fixed annuities. Our IARs receive compensation (commissions, trails, or other compensation from the respective product sponsors) as a result of effecting insurance transactions for clients. A portion of the time IARs spend is in connection with these insurance activities and it typically represents a meaningful portion of the ongoing revenue for some of our IARs. The advisor has an incentive to recommend insurance and this incentive creates a conflict of interest between your interests and our Firm. Clients should note that they have the right to decide whether or not to engage the services of our IARs. Further, clients should note they have the right to decide whether to act on the recommendations and the right to choose any professional to execute the advice for any insurance products through our IAR or any licensed insurance agent not affiliated with our Firm. We recognize the fiduciary responsibility to place your interests first and have established policies in this regard to avoid any conflicts of interest. Registrations with Investment Companies We act as the investment adviser to a registered investment company (the "IC"). Where appropriate, we will exercise our discretionary authority and without further approval from you, we will invest a percentage of your assets in the IC. This creates a conflict of interest because we will receive compensation as your investment adviser through our firm and as the investment adviser to the IC. Except as otherwise required by law for ERISA assets, we do not offset any compensation we receive against fees or expenses you may otherwise pay to us and/or any of our affiliates. Fees charged by the IC are separate and in addition to our advisory fees as disclosed above at Fees and Compensation. You should refer to the prospectus for a complete description of fees, investment objectives, risks and other relevant information associated with investing in the IC. Refer to the Investment Discretion section below for additional disclosures on our discretionary authority to manage your investment account. Certain of our Associated Persons, including executive officers of our firm, may also serve in a control capacity for the IC. The compensation of these Associated Persons may be based, in part, upon the profitability of the IC. Our relationship to the IC may involve sharing or joint compensation, or separate compensation, subject to proper disclosures and the requirements of applicable law. 16 We do not have any relationship or arrangement that is material to our advisory business or to our clients with any of the types of entities listed below. 1. municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker; 2. futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading adviser; 3. banking or thrift institution; 4. accountant or accounting firm; 5. lawyer or law firm; 6. pension consultant; 7. real estate broker or dealer; and/or 8. sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships. Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Description of Our Code of Ethics We strive to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing our practices. Therefore, our Code of Ethics includes guidelines for professional standards of conduct for persons associated with our firm. Our goal is to protect your interests at all times and to demonstrate our commitment to our fiduciary duties of honesty, good faith, and fair dealing with you. All persons associated with our firm are expected to adhere strictly to these guidelines. Persons associated with our firm are also required to report any violations of our Code of Ethics. Additionally, we maintain and enforce written policies reasonably designed to prevent the misuse or dissemination of material, nonpublic information about you or your account holdings by persons associated with our firm. Clients or prospective clients may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting us at the telephone number on the cover page of this brochure. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Neither our firm nor any persons associated with our firm has any material financial interest in client transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this brochure. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions We act as the investment adviser to two publicly traded exchange traded funds. Where appropriate, we will exercise our discretionary authority and without further approval from you, we will invest a percentage of your assets in the Fund. This creates a conflict of interest because we will receive compensation as your investment adviser and as the investment adviser to the Fund. Additionally, individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell - for their personal account(s) - investment products identical to those purchased by the Fund. This practice may create a conflict of interest because we have the ability to trade ahead of the Fund and potentially receive more favorable prices than the Fund will receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor our Associated Persons shall have priority over the Fund in the purchase or sale of securities. Personal Trading Practices Our firm or persons associated with our firm may buy or sell the same securities that we recommend to you or securities in which you are already invested. A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm shall have priority over your account in the purchase or sale of securities. 17 Item 12 Brokerage Practices We maintain relationships with several broker-dealers. While you are free to choose any broker-dealer or other service provider as your custodian, we recommend that you establish an account with a brokerage firm with which we have an existing relationship. Such relationships may include benefits provided to our firm, including but not limited to market information and administrative services that help our firm manage your account(s). We believe that the recommended broker-dealers provide quality execution services for our clients at competitive prices. Price is not the sole factor we consider in evaluating best execution. We also consider the quality of the brokerage services provided by recommended broker-dealers, including the value of the firm's reputation, execution capabilities, commission rates, and responsiveness to our clients and our firm. In recognition of the value of the services recommended broker-dealers provide, you may pay higher commissions and/or trading costs than those that may be available elsewhere. Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits We do not have any soft dollar arrangements. Economic Benefits As a registered investment adviser, we have access to the institutional platform of your account custodian. As such, we will also have access to research products and services from your account custodian and/or other brokerage firm. These products are in addition to any benefits or research we pay for with soft dollars, and may include financial publications, information about particular companies and industries, research software, and other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to our firm in the performance of our investment decision-making responsibilities. Such research products and services are provided to all investment advisers that utilize the institutional services platforms of these firms, and are not considered to be paid for with soft dollars. However, you should be aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for a particular transaction or set of transactions may be greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research services or products might charge. Brokerage for Client Referrals We do not receive client referrals from broker-dealers in exchange for cash or other compensation, such as brokerage services or research. Directed Brokerage FIS does not have the discretionary authority to determine the broker-dealer to be used, thus clients must direct FIS as to the broker-dealer to be used, except in those instances where a transaction is placed with a third-party brokerage firm and settled through the client's selected brokerage firm. We place trades for your account subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties. See the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure for more information on the compensation received by registered representatives who are affiliated with our firm. Aggregated Trades When possible, we try to combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities. Sometimes however, we do not combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for advisory accounts we manage (the practice of combining multiple orders for shares of the same securities is commonly referred to as "block trading or aggregated trading"). Accordingly, you may pay different prices for the same securities transactions than other clients pay. Furthermore, we may not be able to buy and sell the same quantities of securities for you and you may pay higher commissions, fees, and/or transaction costs than other clients. 18 Trade Errors We have implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, trade errors in client accounts cannot always be avoided. Consistent with our fiduciary duty, it is our policy to correct trade errors in a manner that is in the best interest of the client. In cases where the client causes the trade error, the client will be responsible for any loss resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific circumstances of the trade error, the client may not be able to receive any gains generated as a result of the error correction. Should an error occur in any Client's account as a result of Faith Investor Services actions, the Client is made whole. Any losses or gains are assumed by Faith Investor Services. If the error is caused by the Custodian, the Custodian will be responsible for covering all trade error costs. Item 13 Review of Accounts Our Investment Adviser Representatives will monitor client accounts on a regular basis and perform annual reviews with each client. All accounts are reviewed for consistency with client investment strategy, asset allocation, risk tolerance, and performance relative to the appropriate benchmark. More frequent reviews may be triggered by changes in an account holder's personal, tax, or financial status. Geopolitical and macroeconomic specific events may also trigger reviews. You are urged to notify us of any changes in your personal circumstances. Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation As disclosed under the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure, some persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with Foreside, a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. For information on the conflicts of interest this presents, and how we address these conflicts, refer to the Fees and Compensation section. We enter into arrangements with professionals ("Promoters") who we compensate for referring prospective clients to FIS. To mitigate the inherent conflict of interest associated with compensating someone to refer business, the Promoter will disclose the nature of its relationship with FIS. Solicitors that refer business to more than one investment adviser may have a financial incentive to recommend advisers with more favorable compensation arrangements. We request that our solicitors disclose to you whether multiple referral relationships exist and that comparable services may be available from other advisers for lower fees and/or where the Solicitor's compensation is less favorable. In order to receive a cash referral fee from us, solicitors must comply with the requirements of the jurisdictions in which they operate. If you were referred to us by a solicitor, you should have received a copy of this brochure along with the solicitor's disclosure statement at the time of the referral. If you become a client, the solicitor that referred you to us will receive either a one-time fixed referral fee at the time you enter into an advisory agreement with us or a percentage of the advisory fee you pay us for as long as you are our client, or until such time as our agreement with the solicitor expires. You will not pay additional fees because of this referral arrangement. Referral fees paid to a solicitor are contingent upon your entering into an advisory agreement with us. Refer to the Brokerage Practices section above for disclosures on research and other benefits we may receive resulting from our relationship with your account custodian. 19 Item 15 Custody Custody, as it applies to investment advisors, has been defined by regulators as having access or control over client funds and/or securities. In other words, custody is not limited to physically holding client funds and securities. If an investment advisor has the ability to access or control client funds or securities, the investment advisor is deemed to have custody and must ensure proper procedures are implemented. FIS is deemed to have custody of client funds and securities whenever FIS is given the authority to have fees deducted directly from client accounts. It should be noted that authorization to trade in client accounts is not deemed by regulators to be custody. Account statements are delivered directly from the qualified custodian to each client, or the client's independent representative, at least quarterly. You should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against reports received from FIS. When you have questions about your account statements, you should contact FIS or the qualified custodian preparing the statement. Item 16 Investment Discretion Before we can buy or sell securities on your behalf, you must first sign our discretionary management agreement (contained in the FSA) and the appropriate trading authorization forms. You may grant our firm discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be purchased or sold for your account(s) without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each transaction. We do not permit clients to impose any restrictions on a grant of discretionary authority. Refer to the Advisory Business section in this brochure for more information on our discretionary management services. Item 17 Voting Client Securities FIS Policies and Procedures relating to voting proxies are designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of the clients. The Policies and Procedures do not apply to those situations where the client has retained voting discretion. In those situations, FIS will cooperate with the client to ensure proxies are voted as directed by the client. In addition, FIS will abide by specific voting guidelines on certain policy issues as requested by particular clients on a case- by-case basis. Item 18 Financial Information Our firm does not have any financial condition or impairment that would prevent us from meeting our contractual commitments to you. We do not take physical custody of client funds or securities, or serve as trustee or signatory for client accounts, and, we do not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six or more months in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement with this brochure. We have not filed a bankruptcy petition at any time. Item 19 Requirements for State-Registered Advisers We are a federally registered investment adviser; therefore, we are not required to respond to this item. 20 Item 20 Additional Information Class Action Lawsuits We do not determine if securities held by you are the subject of a class action lawsuit or whether you are eligible to participate in class action settlements or litigation nor do we initiate or participate in litigation to recover damages on your behalf for injuries as a result of actions, misconduct, or negligence by issuers of securities held by you. 21

We are organized as a limited liability company ("LLC") under the laws of the State of DE. We have been providing investment advisory services since May 2021. We are primarily owned by The Steven T. Nelson and Kristen L. Nelson Joint Revocable Trust. As used in this brochure, the words "we," "our," and "us" refer to Faith Investor Services and the words "you," "your," and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm. Also, you may see the term Associated Person in this brochure. Our Associated Persons are our firm's officers, employees, and all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of our firm. We offer a wrap fee program as described in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure. A wrap fee program is generally considered any arrangement under which clients receive investment advisory services and the execution of client transactions for a specified fee or fees not based upon transactions in their accounts. All our investment management clients will be offered the wrap fee program structure that includes, as a single fee, the securities transaction costs for trading in Client accounts along with the investment advisory fees earned by our firm. Our firm receives a portion of the wrap fee for the services rendered. While Wrap Fee Programs are sometimes rigid pre-packaged investment programs, our firm customizes its investment strategies individually for its clients. Prior to receiving services through the Program, clients are required to enter into a written agreement with our firm setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the investment advisory relationship. Our Wrap Advisory Services We manage advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. For discretionary accounts, once we have determined a profile and investment plan with a client, we will execute the day-to-day transactions without seeking prior client consent but within the expected investment guidelines. We may accept accounts with certain restrictions if circumstances warrant. We primarily allocate client assets among cash, individual stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), mutual funds, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, U.S. Government Treasuries and cash in accordance with their stated investment objectives. Ultimately, we try to achieve the highest return on our client's cash balances through relatively low-risk and conservative investments. In most cases, at least a partial cash balance will be maintained in a money market account so that our firm may debit advisory fees for our services related to this service. Portfolios will be designed to meet a particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client's circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client's individual needs, stated goals and objectives. During personal discussions with clients, we determine the client's objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review a client's prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. Based on client needs, we develop a client's personal profile and investment plan. We then create and manage the client's investments based on that policy and plan. It is the client's obligation to notify us immediately if circumstances have changed with respect to their goals. Once we have determined the types of investments to be included in a client's portfolio and have allocated the assets, we provide ongoing investment review and management services. 4 With our discretionary relationship, we will make changes to the portfolio, as we deem appropriate, to meet client financial objectives. We trade these portfolios based on the combination of our market views and client objectives, using our investment process. We tailor our advisory services to meet the needs of our clients and seek to ensure that your portfolio is managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. Clients have the ability to leave standing instructions with us to refrain from investing in particular industries or invest in limited amounts of securities. In all cases, clients have a direct and beneficial interest in their securities, rather than an undivided interest in a pool of securities. We do have limited authority to direct the Custodian to deduct our investment advisory fees from your accounts, but only with the appropriate written authorization from clients. Where appropriate, we provide advice about any type of legacy position held in client portfolios. Typically, these are assets that are ineligible to be custodied at our primary custodian. Clients will engage us to advise on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance, annuity contracts, and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans. You are advised and are expected to understand that our past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Certain market and economic risks exist that adversely affect an account's performance. This could result in capital losses in your account. Relative Cost of the Program A wrap fee program allows our clients to pay a specified fee for investment advisory services and the execution of transactions. Clients do not pay brokerage commissions, transaction charges for execution of transactions in addition to the advisory fee however, most investments trade without transaction fees today, so our payment of these and other incidental custodial related expenses should not be considered a significant factor in determining the relative value of our wrap program. Our Firm currently utilizes Schwab. The Schwab platform supports data reconciliation, performance reporting, fee calculation and billing, research, client database maintenance, performance evaluations, payable reports, web site administration, models, trading platforms and any transaction fees incurred at the Custodian, and other functions related to the administrative tasks of managing client accounts. FIS charges a fee as compensation for providing Investment Management services on your account. These services include advisory and consulting services, trade entry, investment supervision, and other account-maintenance activities. Our recommended custodian charges transaction costs, custodial fees, redemption fees, retirement plan and administrative fees or commissions. See Additional Fees and Expenses below for additional details. The fees for portfolio management are based on an annual percentage of assets under management and are applied to the account asset value on a pro-rata basis. Fees are billed quarterly in advance based on the average daily balance of the account(s) under our Firm's management. Unless otherwise agreed upon and stated in the Investment Management Agreement, fees are assessed on all assets under management, including securities, cash and money market balances. When applicable and noted in the Financial Management Agreement. Our maximum annual advisory fee for accounts paying a percentage of assets under management is 1.60% and the specific advisory fees are set forth in your Investment Advisory Agreement. Fees may vary based on the size of the account, complexity of the portfolio, extent of activity in the account or other reasons agreed upon by us and you as the client. In certain circumstances, our fees may be negotiated. Our employees and certain legacy client accounts are charged a reduced fee for our 5 services. Note that to the extent your accounts invest in the FIS Christian Stock Fund ("PRAY") or the FIS Knights of Columbus Global Belief ETF ("KOCG"), FIS earns additional compensation as disclosed in the prospectus. This represents a conflict of interest for our firm and encourages us to recommend these ETF's for your portfolio. Unless otherwise instructed by the client, we will aggregate asset amounts in accounts from your same household together to determine the advisory fee for all your accounts. We would do this, for example, where we also service accounts on behalf of your minor children, individual and joint accounts for a spouse, and/or other types of related accounts. This consolidation practice is designed to allow you the benefit of an increased asset total, which could cause your account(s) to be assessed a lower advisory fee. The independent qualified custodian holding your funds and securities will debit your account directly, and do so quarterly in advance, for the advisory fee and pay that fee to us. You will provide written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account held by the qualified custodian. Further, the qualified custodian agrees to deliver an account statement monthly directly to you indicating all the amounts deducted from the account including our advisory fees. You are encouraged to review your account statements for accuracy. Either FIS or you may terminate the management agreement immediately upon written notice to the other party. The management fee will be pro-rated to the date of termination, for the month in which the cancellation notice was given and billed to your account. Upon termination, you are responsible for monitoring the securities in your account, and we will have no further obligation to act or advise with respect to those assets. In the event of client's death or disability, FIS will continue management of the account until we are notified of client's death or disability and given alternative instructions by an authorized party. Additional fees and expenses you may incur are: principal markups and discounts, SEC fees, mutual fund/ETF expense ratios, mutual fund 12B-1 fees, tax withholding on certain foreign securities, postage fees, wire fees, bank charges, and other administration fees as authorized by you. Please refer to Section 12 for information on brokerage fees and services. In no case are FIS fees based on, or related to, the performance of your funds or investments. In general, as a client, a wrap fee based on the value of assets in your investment account may be less if there is a lot of trading activity in your account and the wrap fee covers the costs for executing all or most of the trades. But if there is little or no trading activity in your advisory account or the trades being made would not otherwise have a transaction fee, a wrap fee arrangement may cost more than separately paying for the services. You should check your account statements to review the level of trading, and periodically talk to your adviser about the level of trading in your account, the fees involved, and what sort of account makes sense for you. Of course, there may be considerations other than cost, like access to certain managers, that make a wrap fee program right for you. Other Types of Fees & Expenses In addition to the advisory fees paid to our Firm, clients also incur certain charges imposed by other third parties, such as custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial institutions (collectively "Financial Institutions"). These additional charges include custodial fees, charges imposed by a mutual fund or ETF in a client's account, as disclosed in the fund's prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. 6 As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in exchange-traded funds ("ETF's") and mutual funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by such funds (described in the fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. The exception is that investments in PRAY (FIS Christian Stock Fund (NYSE:PRAY)) and KOCG (FIS Knights of Columbus Global Belief ETF (NYSE: KOCG)) do result in additional compensation to Faith Investor Services. These fees will generally include a management fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We do not share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by mutual funds, our firm, and others. For information on our brokerage practices, refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure. Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) Mutual Funds When selecting investments for our clients' portfolios we might choose mutual funds on your account custodian's Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) list. This means that your account custodian will not charge a transaction fee or commission associated with the purchase or sale of the mutual fund. The mutual fund companies that choose to participate in your custodian's NTF fund program pay a fee to be included in the NTF program. The fee that a mutual fund company pays to participate in the program is ultimately borne by the owners of the mutual fund including clients of our Firm. When we decide whether to choose a fund from your custodian's NTF list or not, we consider our expected holding period of the fund, the position size and the expense ratio of the fund versus alternative funds. Depending on our analysis and future events, NTF funds might not always be in your best interest. Some of our Investment Adviser Representatives ("IARs") of the Firm are licensed Insurance agents registered with various State(s) Insurance Departments. IARs receives compensation (commissions, trails, or other compensation from the respective insurance products) as a result effecting insurance transaction for mutual client(s) of FIS. Refer to Item 10 of the Part 2A Brochure for more information. Administrative Services Through our relationship with Schwab, our Firm utilizes Schwab's technology platform to support data reconciliation, performance reporting, fee calculation and billing, research, client database maintenance, quarterly performance evaluations, payable reports, web site administration, models, trading platforms, and other functions related to the administrative tasks of managing client accounts. Due to this arrangement, SCHWAB will have access to client information, but SCHWAB will not serve as an investment advisor to our clients. This is true of other vendors as well. FIS, SCHWAB and these additional vendors are non-affiliated companies. Item 5 Account Requirements and Types of Clients Our Firm works with the following types of clients: individuals, high net-worth individuals, mutual funds, not-for-profit and institutions. In general, we require a $100,000 minimum dollar amount to open and maintain an advisory account; though this too is negotiable. Wereserve the right to terminate your Account if it falls below a minimum size which, in our sole opinion, is too small to manage effectively. Item 6 Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Portfolio Manager Selection Our Firm serves as the sponsor and portfolio manager for our Wrap Fee Program. 7 Related Persons Our Firm's investment adviser representatives serve as the portfolio manager for the services under this Wrap Fee Program. We only manage this wrap fee program and we do not act as portfolio manager for any third-party wrap fee programs. Supervised Persons Our investment adviser representatives serve as the portfolio manager for the Wrap Fee Program described in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Please refer to the Items 4 and 8 of the Part 2A Disclosure Brochure for details on the services provided by our Firm. For information related to the background of our supervised persons, please see Items 9 and 11 of the Part 2A Disclosure Brochure. Advisory Business Refer to Item 4 of this Wrap Fee Brochure for information about our wrap fee advisory program. Each client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account. Participation in Wrap Fee Programs We offer the wrap fee program to clients. Our Wrap Fee Program is managed on an individualized basis according to the client's investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side Management We do not charge advisory fees on a share of the capital appreciation of the funds or securities in a client account (so-called performance-based fees), nor engage side by side management. METHODS OF ANALYSIS Our Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies: We use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when providing investment advice to you: • Charting Analysis - involves the gathering and processing of price and volume pattern information for a particular security, sector, broad index or commodity. This price and volume pattern information is analyzed. The resulting pattern and correlation data is used to detect departures from expected performance and diversification and predict future price movements and trends. • Risk: Our charting analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. • Technical Analysis - involves studying past price patterns, trends and interrelationships in the financial markets to assess risk-adjusted performance and predict the direction of both the overall market and specific securities. • Risk: The risk of market timing based on technical analysis is that our analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and day-to-day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. • Fundamental Analysis - involves analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, 8 such as a company's financial statements, details regarding the company's product line, the experience and expertise of the company's management, and the outlook for the company and its industry. The resulting data is used to measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current market value. • Risk: The risk of fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance. • Cyclical Analysis - a type of technical analysis that involves evaluating recurring price patterns and trends. Economic/business cycles may not be predictable and may have many fluctuations between long-term expansions and contractions. • Risk: The lengths of economic cycles may be difficult to predict with accuracy and therefore the risk of cyclical analysis is the difficulty in predicting economic trends and consequently the changing value of securities that would be affected by these changing trends. • Long-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year. • Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in the long-term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other investments. • Short-Term Purchases - securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-term price fluctuations. • Risk: Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate changes, cyclical earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of times. • Margin Transactions - a securities transaction in which an investor borrows money to purchase a security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan. • Risk: If the value of the shares drops sufficiently, the investor will be required to either deposit more cash into the account or sell a portion of the stock in order to maintain the margin requirements of the account. This is known as a "margin call." An investor's overall risk includes the amount of money invested plus the amount that was loaned to them. • Option Writing - a securities transaction that involves selling an option. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a particular security at a specified price on or before the expiration date of the option. When an investor sells a call option, he or she must deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer exercises the option. When an investor sells a put option, he or she must pay the strike price per share if 9 the buyer exercises the option, and will receive the specified number of shares. The option writer/seller receives a premium (the market price of the option at a particular time) in exchange for writing the option. • Risk: Options are complex investments and can be very risky, especially if the investor does not own the underlying stock. In certain situations, an investor's risk can be unlimited. Prior to buying or selling an option, investors must read a copy of the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options, also known as the options disclosure document (ODD). It explains the characteristics and risks of exchange traded options. In general, like other securities, including stocks, bonds and mutual funds, options carry no guarantees. Be aware that it's possible to lose the entire principal invested, and sometimes more. As an options holder, you risk the entire amount of the premium you pay. • Trading - We may use frequent trading (in general, selling securities within 30 days of purchasing the same securities) as an investment strategy when managing your account(s). Frequent trading is not a fundamental part of our overall investment strategy, but we may use this strategy occasionally when we determine that it is suitable given your stated investment objectives and tolerance for risk. This may include buying and selling securities frequently in an effort to capture significant market gains and avoid significant losses. • Risk: When a frequent trading policy is in effect, there is a risk that investment performance within your account may be negatively affected, particularly through increased brokerage and other transactional costs and taxes. • Our investment strategies and advice may vary depending upon each client's specific financial situation. As such, we determine investments and allocations based upon your predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, financial information, liquidity needs and other various suitability factors. Your restrictions and guidelines may affect the composition of your portfolio. It is important that you notify us immediately with respect to any material changes to your financial circumstances, including for example, a change in your current or expected income level, tax circumstances, or employment status. • Tax Considerations: Our strategies and investments may have unique and significant tax implications. However, unless we specifically agree otherwise, and in writing, tax efficiency is not our primary consideration in the management of your assets. Regardless of your account size or any other factors, we strongly recommend that you consult with a tax professional regarding the investing of your assets. Custodians and broker-dealers must report the cost basis of equities acquired in client accounts. Your custodian will utilize an optimized accounting method for calculating the cost basis of your investments. You are responsible for contacting your tax advisor to determine if this accounting method is the right choice for you. If your tax advisor believes another accounting method is more advantageous, provide written notice to our firm immediately and we will alert your account custodian of your individually selected accounting method. Decisions about cost basis accounting methods will need to be made before trades settle, as the cost basis method cannot be changed after settlement. • Risk of Loss: Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. We do not represent or guarantee that our services or methods of analysis can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections or declines. We cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your financial goals and objectives will be met. Past performance is in no way an indication of future 10 performance. • Other Risk Considerations: When evaluating risk, financial loss may be viewed differently by each client and may depend on many different risks, each of which may affect the probability and magnitude of any potential losses. The following risks may not be all-inclusive, but should be considered carefully by a prospective client before retaining our services. • Liquidity Risk: The risk of being unable to sell your investment at a fair price at a given time due to high volatility or lack of active liquid markets. You may receive a lower price or it may not be possible to sell the investment at all. • Credit Risk: Credit risk typically applies to debt investments such as corporate, municipal, and sovereign fixed income or bonds. A bond issuing entity can experience a credit event that could impair or erase the value of an issuer's securities held by a client. • Inflation and Interest Rate Risk: Security prices and portfolio returns will likely vary in response to changes in inflation and interest rates. Inflation causes the value of future dollars to be worth less and may reduce the purchasing power of a client's future interest payments and principal. Inflation also generally leads to higher interest rates which may cause the value of many types of fixed income investments to decline. • Horizon and Longevity Risk: The risk that your investment horizon is shortened because of an unforeseen event, for example, the loss of your job. This may force you to sell investments that you were expecting to hold for the long term. If you must sell at a time that the markets are down, you may lose money. Longevity Risk is the risk of outliving your savings. This risk is particularly relevant for people who are retired, or are nearing retirement. • Recommendation of Particular Types of Securities: We primarily recommend ETFs. However, we may advise on other types of investments as appropriate for you since each client has different needs and different tolerance for risk. Each type of security has its own unique set of risks associated with it and it would not be possible to list here all of the specific risks of every type of investment. Even within the same type of investment, risks can vary widely. However, in very general terms, the higher the anticipated return of an investment, the higher the risk of loss associated with the investment. • Money Market Funds: A money market fund is technically a security. The fund managers attempt to keep the share price constant at $1/share. However, there is no guarantee that the share price will stay at $1/share. If the share price goes down, you can lose some or all of your principal. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") notes that "While investor losses in money market funds have been rare, they are possible." In return for this risk, you should earn a greater return on your cash than you would expect from a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured savings account (money market funds are not FDIC insured). Next, money market fund rates are variable. In other words, you do not know how much you will earn on your investment next month. The rate could go up or go down. If it goes up, that may result in a positive outcome. However, if it goes down and you earn less than you expected to earn, you may end up needing more cash. A final risk you are taking with money market funds has to do with inflation. Because money market funds are considered to be safer than other investments like stocks, long-term average returns on money market funds tends to be less than long term average returns on riskier investments. Over long periods of time, inflation can eat away at your returns. • Certificates of Deposit: Certificates of deposit ("CD") are generally a safe type of investment 11 since they are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") up to a certain amount. However, because the returns are generally low, there is risk that inflation outpaces the return of the CD. Certain CDs are traded in the market place and not purchased directly from a banking institution. In addition to trading risk, when CDs are purchased at a premium, the premium is not covered by the FDIC. • Municipal Securities: Municipal securities, while generally thought of as safe, can have significant risks associated with them including, but not limited to: the credit worthiness of the governmental entity that issues the bond; the stability of the revenue stream that is used to pay the interest to the bondholders; when the bond is due to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character paying the same amount of interest or yield to maturity. • Bonds: Corporate debt securities (or "bonds") are typically safer investments than equity securities, but their risk can also vary widely based on: the financial health of the issuer; the risk that the issuer might default; when the bond is set to mature; and, whether or not the bond can be "called" prior to maturity. When a bond is called, it may not be possible to replace it with a bond of equal character paying the same rate of return. • Stocks: There are numerous ways of measuring the risk of equity securities (also known simply as "equities" or "stock"). In very broad terms, the value of a stock depends on the financial health of the company issuing it. However, stock prices can be affected by many other factors including, but not limited to the class of stock (for example, preferred or common); the health of the market sector of the issuing company; and, the overall health of the economy. In general, larger, better established companies ("large cap") tend to be safer than smaller start-up companies ("small cap") are but the mere size of an issuer is not, by itself, an indicator of the safety of the investment. • Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds: Mutual funds and exchange traded funds ("ETF") are professionally managed collective investment systems that pool money from many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, other mutual funds, other securities, or any combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment objective. FIS is the Investment Advisor for the ETFs ticker symbols PRAY and KOCG. While mutual funds and ETFs generally provide diversification, risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market, primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a significant degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing the fund with different types of securities. ETFs differ from mutual funds since they can be bought and sold throughout the day like stock and their price can fluctuate throughout the day. The returns on mutual funds and ETFs can be reduced by the costs to manage the funds. Also, while some mutual funds are "no load" and charge no fee to buy into, or sell out of, the fund, other types of mutual funds do charge such fees which can also reduce returns. Mutual funds can also be "closed end" or "open end". So- called "open end" mutual funds continue to allow in new investors indefinitely whereas "closed end" funds have a fixed number of shares to sell which can limit their availability to new investors. • ETFs may have tracking error risks. For example, the ETF investment adviser may not be able to cause the ETF's performance to match that of its Underlying Index or other benchmark, which may negatively affect the ETF's performance. In addition, for leveraged and inverse ETFs that seek to track the performance of their Underlying Indices or benchmarks on a daily basis, mathematical compounding may prevent the ETF from correlating with performance of its 12 benchmark. In addition, an ETF may not have investment exposure to all of the securities included in its Underlying Index, or its weighting of investment exposure to such securities may vary from that of the Underlying Index. Some ETFs may invest in securities or financial instruments that are not included in the Underlying Index, but which are expected to yield similar performance. • Derivatives: Derivatives are types of investments where the investor does not own the underlying asset. There are many different types of derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, options, swaps, futures, and forward contracts. Derivatives have numerous uses as well as various risks associated with them, but they are generally considered an alternative way to participate in the market. Investors typically use derivatives for three reasons: to hedge a position, to increase leverage, or to speculate on an asset's movement. The key to making a sound investment is to fully understand the characteristics and risks associated with the derivative, including, but not limited to counter-party, underlying asset, price, and expiration risks. The use of a derivative only makes sense if the investor is fully aware of the risks and understands the impact of the investment within a portfolio strategy. Due to the variety of available derivatives and the range of potential risks, a detailed explanation of derivatives is beyond the scope of this disclosure. • Structured Products: A structured product, also known as a market-linked product, is generally a pre-packaged investment strategy based on derivatives, such as a single security, a basket of securities, options, indices, commodities, debt issuances, and/or foreign currencies, and to a lesser extent, swaps. Structured products are usually issued by investment banks or affiliates thereof. They have a fixed maturity, and have two components: a note and a derivative. The derivative component is often an option. The note provides for periodic interest payments to the investor at a predetermined rate, and the derivative component provides for the payment at maturity. Some products use the derivative component as a put option written by the investor that gives the buyer of the put option the right to sell to the investor the security or securities at a predetermined price. Other products use the derivative component to provide for a call option written by the investor that gives the buyer of the call option the right to buy the security or securities from the investor at a predetermined price. A feature of some structured products is a "principal guarantee" function, which offers protection of principal if held to maturity. However, these products are not always Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured; they may only be insured by the issuer, and thus have the potential for loss of principal in the case of a liquidity crisis, or other solvency problems with the issuing company. Investing in structured products involves a number of risks including but not limited to: fluctuations in the price, level or yield of underlying instruments, interest rates, currency values and credit quality; substantial loss of principal; limits on participation in any appreciation of the underlying instrument; limited liquidity; credit risk of the issuer; conflicts of interest; and, other events that are difficult to predict. • Futures: Futures are financial contracts obligating the buyer to purchase an asset (or the seller to sell an asset), such as a physical commodity or a financial instrument, at a predetermined future date and price. The primary difference between options and futures is that options give the holder the right to buy or sell the underlying asset at expiration, while the holder of a futures contract is obligated to fulfill the terms of his/her contract. Buyers and sellers in the futures market primarily enter into futures contracts to hedge risk or speculate rather than to exchange physical goods. Futures are not only for speculating. They may be used for hedging or may be a more efficient instrument to trade than the underlying asset. • Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity risks include both intentional and unintentional events at Faith Investor Services or one of its third-party counterparties or service providers, that may 13 result in a loss or corruption of data, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, and generally compromise our Firm's ability to conduct its business. A cybersecurity breach may also result in a third-party obtaining unauthorized access to our clients' information, including social security numbers, home addresses, account numbers, account balances, and account holdings. Our Firm has established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with cybersecurity breaches. However, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including that certain risks may not have been identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may emerge in the future. As such, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because our Firm does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of our third- party service providers. There is also a risk that cybersecurity breaches may not be detected. • Voting Client Securities. FIS Policies and Procedures relating to voting proxies are designed to ensure that proxies are voted in the best interests of the clients. The Policies and Procedures do not apply to those situations where the client has retained voting discretion. In those situations, FIS will cooperate with the client to ensure proxies are voted as directed by the client. In addition, FIS will abide by specific voting guidelines on certain policy issues as requested by particular clients on a case- by-case basis. Item 7 Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers Our Firm is required to describe the type and frequency of the information it communicates to external managers that may be involved in managing its Clients' investment portfolios. FIS serves as the sole portfolio manager under this Wrap Fee Program and, as such, we have no information to disclose regarding this Item. Item 8 Client Contact with Portfolio Managers Without restriction, you should contact our firm or your advisory representative directly with any questions regarding your Program account. You should contact your advisory representative with respect to changes in your investment objectives, risk tolerance, or requested restrictions placed on the management of your Program assets. Item 9 Additional Information All the information disclosed in Item 9 is for Wrap Fee Clients. Disciplinary Information Neither the firm, nor any management person has a disciplinary disclosure to report. Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations Arrangements with Affiliated Entities We are affiliated with Capital Insight Partners through common control and ownership. We will recommend that you use the services of our affiliate if appropriate and suitable for your needs. Our advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees paid to our affiliate for their services. Additionally, clients of the firm who are invested in proprietary ETFs within their investment account will pay the management fee associated with the ETF (expense ratio) and will also pay the advisory fee indicated on their client agreement with the firm for the investment advisory services provided under that agreement. FIS will receive compensation as a manager of these ETFs. 14 Referral arrangements with an affiliated entity present a conflict of interest for us because we will have a direct or indirect financial incentive to recommend an affiliated firm's services (Capital Insight Partners will be compensated if it is recommended as the money manager). While we believe that compensation charged by an affiliated firm is competitive, such compensation may be higher than fees charged by other firms providing the same or similar services. You are under no obligation to use the services of any firm we recommend, whether affiliated or otherwise, and may obtain comparable services and/or lower fees through other firms. Insurance Some of our IARs are also licensed insurance agents and sell various life insurance products. Typically, these products consist of long-term care and fixed annuities. Our IARs receive compensation (commissions, trails, or other compensation from the respective product sponsors) as a result of effecting insurance transactions for clients. A portion of the time IARs spend is in connection with these insurance activities and it typically represents a meaningful portion of the ongoing revenue for some of our IARs. The advisor has an incentive to recommend insurance and this incentive creates a conflict of interest between your interests and our Firm. Clients should note that they have the right to decide whether or not to engage the services of our IARs. Further, clients should note they have the right to decide whether to act on the recommendations and the right to choose any professional to execute the advice for any insurance products through our IAR or any licensed insurance agent not affiliated with our Firm. We recognize the fiduciary responsibility to place your interests first and have established policies in this regard to avoid or disclose any conflicts of interest. Registrations with Broker-Dealer Some persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with Foreside a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. See the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure for more information on the compensation received by registered representatives who are affiliated with our firm. We act as the investment adviser to a registered investment company (the "IC"). Where appropriate, we will exercise our discretionary authority and without further approval from you, we will invest a percentage of your assets in the IC. This creates a conflict of interest because we will receive compensation as your investment adviser through our firm and as the investment adviser to the IC. Except as otherwise required by law for ERISA assets, we do not offset any compensation we receive against fees or expenses you may otherwise pay to us and/or any of our affiliates. Fees charged by the IC are separate and in addition to our advisory fees as disclosed above at Fees and Compensation. You should refer to the prospectus for a complete description of fees, investment objectives, risks and other relevant information associated with investing in the IC. Refer to the Investment Discretion section below for additional disclosures on our discretionary authority to manage your investment account. Certain of our Associated Persons, including executive officers of our firm, may also serve in a control capacity for the IC. The compensation of these Associated Persons may be based, in part, upon the profitability of the IC. Our relationship to the IC may involve sharing or joint compensation, or separate compensation, subject to proper disclosures and the requirements of applicable law. We do not have any relationship or arrangement that is material to our advisory business or to our clients with any of the types of entities listed below. 1. municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer or broker; 2. futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading adviser; 3. banking or thrift institution; 15 4. accountant or accounting firm; 5. lawyer or law firm; 6. pension consultant; 7. real estate broker or dealer; and/or 8. sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships. Brokerage Practices We generally recommend that clients utilize the custody and brokerage services of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (the "Custodian") for investment management accounts. Our Custodian is independent and an unaffiliated FINRA-registered broker-dealer. We may recommend that you establish accounts with Schwab to maintain custody of your assets and to effect trades for your accounts. Some of the products, services and other benefits provided by our Custodians benefit us and may not benefit you or your account. Our recommendation/requirement that you place assets with one of these custodians may be based in part on benefits they provide us, and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and execution services provided by the Custodian. We are independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab or any custodian. Schwab provides us with access to their institutional trading and custody services. These services include brokerage, custody, research and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors. In the event you request us to recommend a broker/dealer Custodian for execution and/or custodial services, we generally recommend your account to be maintained at Schwab. We may recommend that you establish accounts with Schwab to maintain custody of your assets and to effect trades for your accounts. You have the right to not act upon any recommendations, and if you elect to act upon any recommendations, you have the right to not place the transactions through any broker/dealer we recommend. Our recommendation is generally based on the broker's cost and fees, skills, reputation, dependability and compatibility with the client. You may be able to obtain lower commissions and fees from other brokers and the value of products, research and services given to us is not a factor in determining the selection of broker/dealer or the reasonableness of their commissions. We place trades for your account subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties. You may be able to obtain lower commissions and fees from other brokers and the value of products, research and services given to us is not a factor in determining the selection of broker/dealer or the reasonableness of their commissions. The Custodian's execution quality may be different than other broker-dealers. For our client accounts maintained in custody with a Custodian, the Custodian generally does not charge separately for custody but are compensated by account holders through 12b-1 fees and ticket charges. Schwab makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not benefit your accounts in every case. Some of these other products and services assist us in managing and administering your accounts. These include software and technology that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of our fees from your account, and assist with back-office functions, record-keeping and reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or a substantial number of our accounts. Schwab also make available to us other services intended to help us manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include consulting, publications and conferences on practice 16 management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay for these services rendered to us by third parties. Schwab may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to us. While as a fiduciary, we endeavor to act in your best interest, our recommendation that you maintain your assets in accounts at our recommended Custodians may be based in part on the benefit to us or the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by the Custodian, which may create a conflict of interest. IARs endeavor at all times to put the interest of our clients first as a part of their fiduciary duty. • A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account through a specific broker or dealer in order to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such direction is permitted provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan incurred in the ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and empowered to pay. ERISA prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services purchased are not for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently, we will request that plan sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this arrangement will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Brokerage for Client Referrals We enter into arrangements with professionals ("Promoters") who we compensate for referring prospective clients to FIS. To mitigate the inherent conflict of interest associated with compensating someone to refer business, the Promoter will disclose the nature of its relationship with FIS. Trade Errors We have implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, trade errors in client accounts cannot always be avoided. Consistent with our fiduciary duty, it is our policy to correct trade errors in a manner that is in the best interest of the client. In cases where the client causes the trade error, the client will be responsible for any loss resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific circumstances of the trade error, the client may not be able to receive any gains generated as a result of the error correction. Should an error occur in any Client's account as a result of Faith Investor Services actions, the Client is made whole. Any losses or gains are assumed by Faith Investor Services. If the error is caused by the Custodian, the Custodian will be responsible for covering all trade error costs. Directed Brokerage Faith Investor Services does not have the discretionary authority to determine the broker-dealer to be used, thus clients must direct FIS as to the broker-dealer to be used, except in those instances where a transaction is placed with a third-party brokerage firm and settled through the client's selected brokerage firm. We place trades for your account subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties. Code of Ethics, Participation, or Interest in Client Transactions & Personal Trading Description of Our Code of Ethics We strive to comply with applicable laws and regulations governing our practices. Therefore, our Code of Ethics includes guidelines for professional standards of conduct for persons associated with our firm. Our goal is to protect your interests at all times and to demonstrate our commitment to our fiduciary duties of honesty, good faith, and fair dealing with you. All persons associated with our firm are expected to adhere strictly to these guidelines. Persons associated with our firm are also required 17 to report any violations of our Code of Ethics. Additionally, we maintain and enforce written policies reasonably designed to prevent the misuse or dissemination of material, nonpublic information about you or your account holdings by persons associated with our firm. Clients or prospective clients may obtain a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting us at the telephone number on the cover page of this brochure. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Neither our firm nor any persons associated with our firm has any material financial interest in client transactions beyond the provision of investment advisory services as disclosed in this brochure. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions We act as the investment adviser for two publicly traded exchange traded funds. Where appropriate, we will exercise our discretionary authority and without further approval from you, we will invest a percentage of your assets in the Fund. This creates a conflict of interest because we will receive compensation as your investment adviser and as the investment adviser to the Fund. Additionally, individuals associated with our firm may buy or sell - for their personal account(s) - investment products identical to those purchased by the Fund. This practice may create a conflict of interest because we have the ability to trade ahead of the Fund and potentially receive more favorable prices than the Fund will receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor our Associated Persons shall have priority over the Fund in the purchase or sale of securities. Personal Trading Practices Our firm or persons associated with our firm may buy or sell the same securities that we recommend to you or securities in which you are already invested. A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm shall have priority over your account in the purchase or sale of securities. Account Reviews and Reviewers – Investment Supervisory Services Our Investment Adviser Representatives will monitor client accounts on a regular basis and perform annual reviews with each client. All accounts are reviewed for consistency with client investment strategy, asset allocation, risk tolerance, and performance relative to the appropriate benchmark. More frequent reviews may be triggered by changes in an account holder's personal, tax, or financial status. Geopolitical and macroeconomic specific events may also trigger reviews. You are urged to notify us of any changes in your personal circumstances. Statements and Reports Reports from our Firm are generated for clients on an annual basis or as requested. These reports show the rate of return of accounts under management of FIS. The custodian for the individual client's account will also provide clients with an account statement at least quarterly. You are urged to compare the reports and invoices provided by FIS against the account statements you receive directly from your account custodian. Client Referrals & Other Compensation Our Firm pays a referral fee to individuals acting as an independent Promoter. Our Firm has disclosed this referral arrangement to each client who is effected. A client referred to us from an independent Promoter does not pay a higher advisory fee. 18 Custody Custody, as it applies to investment advisors, has been defined by regulators as having access or control over client funds and/or securities. In other words, custody is not limited to physically holding client funds and securities. If an investment advisor has the ability to access or control client funds or securities, the investment advisor is deemed to have custody and must ensure proper procedures are implemented. FIS is deemed to have custody of client funds and securities whenever FIS is given the authority to have fees deducted directly from client accounts. It should be noted that authorization to trade in client accounts is not deemed by regulators to be custody. Account statements are delivered directly from the qualified custodian to each client, or the client's independent representative, at least quarterly. You should carefully review those statements and are urged to compare the statements against reports received from FIS. When you have questions about your account statements, you should contact FIS or the qualified custodian preparing the statement. Soft Dollars Our Firm does not accept any direct soft dollars. Financial Information We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Therefore, we are not required to include a balance sheet for our most recent fiscal year. We are not subject to a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Finally, we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time. Item 10 Requirements for State-Registered Advisers We are a federally registered investment adviser; therefore, we are not required to respond to this item. 19
