Item 4. Advisory Business
A.
Description of Advisory Firm
First Long Island Investors, LLC (“FLII”) is a boutique wealth management firm that provides
sophisticated money management services to high-net-worth clients. FLII is a limited liability
company formed under the laws of the State of New York and is registered as an investment
adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. FLII was founded on a service
ethic that puts clients at the center of everything. FLII traces its origins back more than 40
years, when its principal owners, Robert D. Rosenthal (Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and
Chief Investment Officer) and Ralph F. Palleschi (President and Chief Operating Officer and a
member of FLII’s Investment Committee), formally established FLII’s predecessor corporation
in 1983.
B.
Types of Advisory Services
FLII provides a broad range of investment and financial services to clients, such as individuals
(including high-net-worth individuals), corporations, pension and profit-sharing plans, pooled
investment vehicles, and charitable organizations. FLII’s advice is designed to provide clients
with a long-term approach to wealth management that embodies a prudent, individualized
asset allocation. FLII’s goal is the preservation and growth of each client’s net worth.
FLII recommends that clients diversify their investments among assets, including, where
suitable, equities (in separately managed accounts and through partnerships), in bonds, and
in private investments. Equity investments include traditional equity investments and more
defensive or hedged equity investments.
FLII’s principals invest side-by-side with clients in every FLII strategy, other than fixed income,
which is personalized for each client. Where a strategy is offered through different investment
vehicles, FLII’s principals invest in the vehicle suitable for them, but not in every vehicle
available.
FLII tailors its advice to each client’s needs and only provides advice to clients where FLII’s
strategies are compatible with what the FLII investment team determines are the client’s needs.
Clients may, in limited circumstances, place restrictions on FLII’s investments. For example,
FLII has accepted restrictions where clients hold low basis stocks they do not want to sell.
FLII has affiliates that serve as the general partners of certain partnerships offered to clients
as an investment option.
FLII is also a multi-family family office and provides family office services to certain clients.
C.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, FLII managed $1,861,290,657 in assets on a discretionary basis
and oversaw $447,638,159 in assets on which FLII does not have discretionary authority.

Item 5. Fees and Compensation
A.
Generally
FLII is generally compensated for investment management services as follows:
(i)
Separately Managed Accounts: If a client’s assets are held in a separately
managed brokerage account, the client is charged an annual advisory fee, paid
to FLII quarterly in advance (an “Advisory Fee”). (See below for a description of
fees payable with respect to each FLII strategy.) These fees generally are
deducted from the client’s account but may be paid directly. FLII makes pro rata
adjustments to the quarterly fee charged in the event a client makes any
contributions and/or withdrawals to the account on any day during that quarter
that in the aggregate equal or exceed 10% of the account’s value measured as
of the last day of the prior quarter. Such fee adjustments will be added to or
subtracted from the next quarter’s Advisory Fee.
(ii)
Partnerships: If a client’s assets are invested in a partnership that is advised,
managed, or overseen by FLII or one of its affiliates (an “FLII-Advised Fund”),
such FLII-Advised Fund generally pays to FLII or one of its affiliates an annual
management fee quarterly in advance (a “Management Fee”). A client’s assets
invested in an FLII-Advised Fund may also be subject to an incentive allocation.
(See Item “6”.) In addition, partners in FLII-Advised Funds bear their pro rata
share of other partnership expenses. (See the subheading “Other Fees, Costs,
and Expenses” below.) Management Fees for FLII-Advised Funds are generally
not negotiable.
1.
Exceptions
Employees. FLII waives Advisory Fees and Management Fees for the accounts
of its employees and their immediate family members.
Fee Breakpoints for Related Clients. FLII may, in its sole discretion, aggregate
the managed or overseen assets of clients who are family members for the purpose of
determining whether such clients meet certain fee breakpoints. Fee breakpoints differ
depending on the strategy, as discussed in more detail in Section B. and Section C. below.
2.
Other Fees, Costs, and Expenses
FLII’s Advisory Fees and Management Fees are exclusive of, and in addition to, any fees, costs
and expenses charged by broker-dealers, custodians, and other third parties – all of which will
reduce client returns on their investments.
Custody Fees
Clients are not charged custody fees by broker-dealers we recommend to clients. A client may
choose to custody his or her assets at a custodian bank, which may charge custody fees.
Qualified custodians that custody assets of certain FLII-Advised Funds charge custody fees.
Form ADV

First Long Island Investors, LLC
Additionally, certain FLII clients use Columbia Private Trust, a division of Columbia Bank and
a self-directed IRA custodian (“Columbia”), to hold interests in FLII-Advised Funds in their
retirement accounts. Columbia succeeded to the FLII client custodial accounts previously held
at Pacific Premier Trust upon the closing of a 2025 transaction involving the parent companies
of Columbia Bank and Pacific Premier Bank.
Brokerage Fees; Expenses Charged by Different Investment Vehicles
Clients bear the cost to trade securities held in their accounts or held by FLII-Advised Funds in
which they invest. (See Item “12”, Brokerage Practices.) Each of the FLII-Advised Funds also
bears certain partnership expenses described in their governing and offering documents
including legal, accounting, audit, and surprise exam fees, as applicable.
Clients who invest in mutual funds bear the fees and expenses charged by those funds.
Fees Paid for Cash Management
Clients’ idle cash held at their custodian broker-dealers is generally invested in money market
funds via an automatic sweep account option or, from time to time and pursuant to
consultations with a client, in shares of certain higher yield money market funds designed to
invest in government money market instruments. In the latter case, FLII will issue instructions
to the custodian broker-dealer to invest in the securities of these money market funds. All
money market funds assess their own management fees. During those periods when client
funds are invested in money market funds, clients are paying fees to FLII on the total amount
of assets under management and to the investment manager of the money market funds. To
avoid potential conflicts of interest, FLII does not (a) retain any of the interest earned by a client
on any cash sweep or money market program or (b) receive any separate compensation from,
or participate in any revenue sharing arrangements with, the custodian broker-dealers that offer
such cash sweep and money market options.
B.
Separately Managed Accounts
In general, fees imposed on amounts invested in FLII-advised separately managed accounts
are structured as a percentage of assets managed within a particular strategy, billed quarterly
in advance, and subject to subsequent adjustment for contributions and withdrawals as
described above. FLII has, in certain cases, negotiated a flat fee for clients who have
substantial assets in accounts separately managed by FLII at the inception of the relationship.

Thus, a client that has $6 million in an FLII-managed Dividend Growth account would typically
pay 0.25% per quarter (1.0% per annum) on the first $5 million in that account and 0.2125%
per quarter (0.85% per annum) on the next $1 million in that account.

Thus, a client that has $6 million in an FLII-managed Core account would typically pay 0.375%
per quarter (1.5% per annum) on the first $5 million in that account and 0.3% per quarter (1.2%
per annum) on the next $1 million in that account.
Fixed Income
For Fixed Income accounts, fees are 0.4% annually (0.3% for amounts in excess of $2.5 million,
and negotiable for clients with FLII relationships in excess of $50 million).
Legacy Positions
For accounts managed with low-basis legacy positions, fees are generally 1.0% annually, or
such lower fees as FLII may negotiate in its discretion on a case-by-case basis.
Other
Fees payable with respect to US Treasury obligations that may be (or previously were) held in
Core and Dividend Growth accounts for a client are generally equal to the fee charged for Fixed
Income accounts unless otherwise determined by FLII from time to time in its discretion;
provided, that such fee will not exceed the highest percentage agreed to in the client’s
investment advisory agreement.
C.
Partnerships
FLII is entitled to receive annual Management Fees which are billed quarterly, in advance, from
various FLII-Advised Funds as described below.
FLI Select Equity Fund, L.P. (“FLISEF”), FLI Select Equity Fund II, L.P. (“FLISEF II”),
and FLI Partners Fund, L.P. (“FLIP”)

Limited partners of FLISEF, FLISEF II, and FLIP each pay to FLII an annual Management Fee
of one percent (1.0%) of assets under management.
FLI Value Fund, L.P. (“FLIV”)
Limited partners who were admitted to FLIV after July 2008 pay to FLII an annual Management
Fee as follows:

management at FLII via separately managed accounts, via partnerships where FLII serves as the management
company (and where an affiliate of FLII serves as general partner), or in strategies where an affiliate of FLII acts
as a solicitor.
The Management Fee for limited partners who invested in FLIV prior to September 1, 2008 is
0.50% per annum.
FLI Growth Fund, L.P. (“FLIG”)
Limited partners of FLIG pay to FLII an annual Management Fee as follows:
Annual Management Fee Percentage

management at FLII via separately managed accounts, via partnerships where FLII serves as the management
company (and where an affiliate of FLII serves as general partner), or in strategies where an affiliate of FLII acts
as a solicitor.
Other Funds
FLI Sterling Realty Finance, LP, FLI Sterling Realty Finance II, LP, and FLI Sterling Realty
Finance III, LP (each, an “FLI Sterling Fund” and collectively, the “FLI Sterling Funds”) do
not pay to FLII or any of its affiliates any Management Fees. However, an affiliate of FLII is
entitled to receive a percentage of the carried interest distributions and management fees
otherwise payable in respect of each FLI Sterling Fund’s invested capital in its corresponding
underlying partnership. (See Item “10” below for more information.)
With respect to FLI Perosphere Fund, LP (“Perosphere”), FLII is entitled to receive a quarterly
fee of 0.25% of unreturned capital contributions for overhead expenses and various services.
Each of the FLII-Advised Funds also bears the fees, expenses and incentive allocation (if any)
of its underlying portfolio managers. However, FLIP and Perosphere do not invest through any
underlying portfolio managers and therefore bear only one level of fees.

If a limited partner is permitted to withdraw from an FLII-Advised Fund on a day other than the
last day of a fiscal quarter, a pro rata portion of the Management Fee will be allocated or
distributed to the withdrawing limited partner.
Other Fee Arrangements
FLII receives retainers relating to family office services rendered to certain clients such as
continuous advice on investment, asset allocation, tax, estate planning, and related services.
FLII also is compensated with respect to assets managed by other investment managers as
described in Item “10” below.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
A.
Performance-Based Fees
In addition to Management Fees, the limited partners of certain FLII-Advised Funds are subject
to a form of performance-based compensation in which a percentage of the gains (or net capital
appreciation) in each limited partner’s capital account is reallocated to the general partner of
that FLII-Advised Fund (the “Incentive Allocation”), as further described below.
FLISEF and FLISEF II
The amount of the Incentive Allocation reallocated to the general partners of FLISEF and
FLISEF II, respectively, is equal to fifteen percent (15%) per annum of any net capital
appreciation in excess of a non-cumulative threshold return rate that differs depending on the
date of initial investment in either partnership, as described below.
Threshold Annual Return Rates for FLISEF and FLISEF II

Between 3/31/1998 and 10/1/2003
On or before January 1998
Threshold Return Rate
8%
10%
12%
Adjustments are made to account for intra-year withdrawals and capital contributions to ensure
that the amounts paid to the general partners of each fund are properly pro-rated.
FLIP
The amount of the Incentive Allocation reallocated to the capital account of the general partner
of FLIP is equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum of any net capital appreciation allocated
to a limited partner’s capital account, subject to a high water mark.
FLIV and FLIG
The Incentive Allocation calculation for FLIV and FLIG are the same. The amount of the
Incentive Allocation reallocated to the capital account of the general partners of FLIV and FLIG,
respectively, is equal to ten percent (10%) of the net capital appreciation allocated to a limited
partner’s capital account in excess of a non-cumulative annual rate of return of seven percent

First Long Island Investors, LLC
(7%); provided, however, that the Incentive Allocation with respect to any limited partner will
never exceed 0.75% of the value of such limited partner’s capital account at the beginning of
the fiscal year for which such Incentive Allocation relates, subject to the following sentence.
For FLIV and FLIG, adjustments are made to account for intra-year withdrawals and capital
contributions to ensure that the amounts paid to the general partner are properly pro-rated.
Perosphere
The General Partner of Perosphere is entitled to be allocated a 20% carried interest, subject
to a 6% per annum cumulative preferred return, compounded annually, and the return of
partners’ capital contributions.
B.
Side-by-Side Management
As noted above, affiliates of FLII receive an Incentive Allocation from certain FLII-Advised
Funds. FLII also charges Advisory Fees on separately managed accounts based on a
percentage of assets under management. As described in Item “5”, the Advisory Fees charged
to a client in separately managed accounts differ depending on a number of factors. In addition,
the allocable Incentive Allocation from an FLII-Advised Fund may be greater or less than the
Advisory Fee paid to FLII by separately managed accounts.
As a result of the differing fees and Incentive Allocations payable or allocable across separately
managed accounts and partnerships, a client may pay higher fees than another client in the
same strategy. In addition, either a partnership or a separately managed account can generate
higher compensation to FLII depending on various factors such as timing of investment and
market conditions.
Thus, variations in fees and performance compensation structures among FLII clients may
create an incentive for FLII to favor strategies that can generate higher compensation for FLII
or its affiliates (for example, where an Incentive Allocation is greater than an Advisory Fee, or
vice versa), to allocate or sequence trades in favor of clients that pay or allocate performance
compensation or clients that pay a greater level of fees and performance compensation than
other clients. In addition, the right to receive performance-based compensation creates an
incentive for FLII to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to clients
in order to generate more compensation. FLII is conscious of these potential conflicts and has
adopted policies and procedures designed to ensure that each client receives fair and equitable
treatment in the investment process.
As an example of a potential conflict, FLIP (an FLII-Advised Fund that provides for an Incentive
Allocation to its general partner) may purchase certain securities at or about the same time as
the same securities are purchased by separately managed accounts that charge an Advisory
Fee. FLII addresses such a conflict by reviewing trades for FLIP versus separately managed
accounts that are charged an Advisory Fee to ensure that no pattern exists to favor either FLIP
or the Advisory Fee-paying accounts. FLII has also implemented policies and procedures to
ensure that, whenever FLII determines that a particular investment opportunity would be
appropriate for more than one strategy, FLII will seek to allocate such opportunity among client
accounts in a manner that it deems fair and equitable under the circumstances existing at such
Form ADV

First Long Island Investors, LLC
time, taking into account various factors such as available capital, risk/return ratios, investment
restrictions, liquidity, tax considerations, and overall portfolio composition of each client
account.
Item 7. Types of Clients
We provide advice to individuals (including high-net-worth individuals), corporations, pension
and profit-sharing plans, pooled investment vehicles, and charitable organizations. Clients
generally must have a minimum of $5,000,000 in assets under management at the inception
of the relationship.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Clients’ assets are generally invested in separately managed accounts or in partnerships.
Separately managed accounts invest in equities or fixed income and, in rare cases typically
involving “legacy” or low-basis securities, options. Equities managed internally (i.e., managed
solely by FLII without the involvement of third-party managers) are invested in what FLII calls
a “Core” strategy and a “Dividend Growth” strategy. Some clients’ assets are invested in
separately managed accounts advised by an outside investment manager.
The Core strategy is a traditional long-only equity investment strategy that generally holds 20-
30 large-cap growth and value companies. Companies included in the portfolio are identified
by a sub-committee of our investment committee through internal and third-party research, as
well as insights from economic consultants, respected investment managers, and SEC 13-F
filings.
The Dividend Growth strategy generally holds 20-30 large-cap companies that are diversified
by industry, financially sound (based upon ratings by ratings providers and our judgment),
currently pay an average dividend of approximately 2.0% per year, and have generally raised
their dividends at least once in the last two years. Our research is done internally using
published research materials.
Bonds are purchased at the discretion of a fixed income subcommittee of our investment
committee based on guidelines established by the investment committee.
Some FLII-Advised Funds invest with or through third-party portfolio managers or funds of
funds. These partnerships will divide their assets into separate portfolios, each of which is
principally invested in managed accounts advised by third-party portfolio managers pursuant
to an investment advisory agreement and traded in accordance with that portfolio manager’s
proprietary investment strategy. FLII, through its investment committee, regularly evaluates all
portfolio managers that invest securities in managed accounts for these FLII-Advised Funds.
If and when FLII-Advised Funds invest in funds of funds, FLII’s investment committee also vets
the fund of funds manager and reviews its underlying managers. (See Item “10” regarding
strategies managed by third parties to which clients are referred.)
FLII’s internally managed partnership, FLIP, invests in large and mid-cap growth stocks and
sells calls on these positions. Companies included in FLIP’s portfolio are identified by a sub-
Form ADV
Page | 11

First Long Island Investors, LLC
committee of FLII’s investment committee through internal and third-party research, as well as
insights from economic consultants, respected investment managers, and SEC filings.
Unlike other FLII-Advised Funds, Perosphere was formed to invest in a single private company.
Risk of Loss
• All securities investments risk the loss of capital that clients should be prepared to bear.
• An investment in an FLII-Advised Fund involves a high degree of risk, including the risk
that the entire amount invested may be lost. No guarantee or representation is made
that an FLII-Advised Fund’s investment program, including, without limitation, its
investment objectives, diversification strategies, or risk monitoring goals, will be
successful, and investment results may vary substantially over time. Investment losses
may occur from time to time, and an investor could lose all or a substantial amount of
his or her investment. An FLII-Advised Fund’s investment methodology should not be
considered “conservative,” “safe,” “risk free” or “risk averse.”
• Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, and the past performance of any
accounts or partnerships managed by FLII should not be considered indicative of their
future performance. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate
over time and may be volatile.
• The limited partners of each FLII-Advised Fund have very limited authority to make
decisions or to exercise business discretion on behalf of the partnership. The authority
for all such decisions is delegated to the general partner and management company.
The success of an FLII-Advised Fund is therefore expected to be significantly dependent
upon the expertise and efforts of the general partner and management company of the
FLII-Advised Fund (or, if applicable, the general partner and management company of
underlying funds of the FLII-Advised Fund).
• The portfolios of each FLII-Advised Fund do not have to be diversified. Accordingly,
each FLII-Advised Fund’s portfolio may be subject to higher risk and a more rapid
change in value than would be the case if diversification were required.
• An investment in an FLII-Advised Fund is suitable only for sophisticated investors who
have no need for current liquidity. There is no public market for any partnership interests
and none is expected to develop. An investment in a partnership provides limited
liquidity since partnership interests are not freely transferable and limited partners have
limited withdrawal rights. A partnership’s investments may also be illiquid and subject to
legal, regulatory and contractual transfer restrictions. Therefore, partnership interests
should only be acquired by investors able to commit their funds for an extended period
of time.
• None of the FLII-Advised Funds are registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and thus are not subject to the same
regulatory requirements as mutual funds. In addition, partnership interests in the FLII-
Form ADV
Page | 12
March 30, 2026
First Long Island Investors, LLC
Advised Funds will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
• Subject to applicable law, each of the FLII-Advised Fund’s operative documents
contains broad provisions that require the partnership to indemnify the general partner,
the management company and others and to hold them harmless from any losses or
costs incurred by them under certain circumstances.
• The incentive allocation made to the general partner of each FLII-Advised Fund may
create an incentive for FLII to make partnership investments that are riskier than it would
otherwise make; further, the expenses, fees and incentive allocation reduce partners’
returns.
• The general partner of each FLII-Advised Fund and/or affiliates thereof may also serve
as the general partner of other affiliated investment funds; there are no restrictions on
any such entity from forming additional investment funds, from entering into investment
advisory relationships, or from engaging in other business activities, even though such
activities may be in competition with the relevant FLII-Advised Fund or may involve
substantial time and resources of the general partner, its affiliates and its principals.
• When an FLII-Advised Fund writes a covered call option, it gives up the opportunity for
gain on the underlying security above the exercise price of the option.
that may restrict
• An FLII-Advised Fund’s portfolio managers may invest in the securities of foreign
corporations and foreign countries. Investing in foreign securities involves certain
considerations not usually associated with investing in the securities of United States
companies, including political and economic considerations, such as greater risks of
expropriation, nationalization, general social, political and economic instability, the small
size of securities markets in such countries, fluctuations in exchange rates and costs of
the
currency conversions, and certain government policies
partnership’s investment opportunities.
• Certain FLII-Advised Funds and underlying portfolio managers may use borrowings and
leverage their investments, which presents opportunities for increasing returns and
potentially increasing losses as well.
The offering memorandum for each FLII-Advised Fund, which is provided to prospective
partners, contains a more detailed discussion of the risk factors for that particular fund.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Neither FLII, nor its employees, have legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s
or a prospective client’s evaluation of FLII’s business or the integrity of its management.

Exchange Commission as a broker-dealer. Certain FLII employees are also registered in
various capacities (principals, financial and operations principals, registered representatives,
etc.) under this broker-dealer registration. FLII and FLI do not custody securities (but see Item
“15” below) and do not execute securities trades for clients.
Kudu Affiliation
Kudu Investment Management, LLC (“Kudu”), a registered investment adviser, has made a
strategic investment in FLII and certain of its affiliates through Kudu Investment US, LLC, a
Kudu affiliate. Although this could be deemed a material conflict of interest, FLII believes that
any potential conflict is mitigated by the fact that Kudu does not have any input or influence on
the management of FLII or its affiliates or the advisory services provided to clients of FLII.
Compensated Referral Arrangements
From time to time, FLI refers certain clients to invest in a managed account, a partnership, or
similar investment vehicle managed by other registered investment advisers. The fees our
clients pay to such advisers (and/or the carried interest attributable to our clients that such
managers or their affiliates receive) are not higher than they would otherwise be because of
these relationships. These third parties compensate FLI for such referrals pursuant to
agreements that conform to applicable law, and such compensation arrangements are
disclosed in writing to each prospective referred client. We believe this disclosure addresses
any conflicts created by these referral arrangements. The agreements in place today are
described below.
1. AllianceBernstein
FLII has entered into agreements with W.P. Stewart & Co., Ltd., which was subsequently
acquired by AllianceBernstein (“AB”) (a registered investment adviser), whereby FLII and AB
share in the responsibility and fees for investment services provided to clients referred to AB
by FLII. The share of fees allocated to FLII is 33.3%. No brokerage commissions are paid to
FLII by such client’s accounts. FLII also receives an annual fee equal to 33.3% of the fee paid
to AB on assets under management to service accounts referred to AB by FLII’s predecessor
registrant, whose business AB acquired. FLII entered into an agreement with W.P. Stewart &
Co., Inc. (“WPS Inc.”), a registered investment adviser, subsequently assigned to WPS Inc.’s
affiliate, AllianceBernstein L.P. (“ABLP”) whereby FLII is paid 25% of the fees paid to ABLP
attributable to assets referred by FLII to AllianceBernstein Concentrated Growth Fund. This
agreement is not in effect for new referrals.
2. Sandalwood Securities
FLI has entered into an agreement with Sandalwood Securities, Inc. (“Sandalwood”) whereby
FLI is paid 33 1/3% of the total of the fees and expenses paid to Sandalwood by limited partners
referred by FLI to partnerships of which Sandalwood is investment manager.

this individual are insurance agents affiliated with Hartford Life and Accident Insurance
Company. FLI may earn fees in connection with insurance referrals, and FLI discloses that it
is acting as an agent to any client where FLI receives compensation in connection with such
referrals.
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
FLII is committed to conducting business in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations
and in an ethical and professional manner. In addition, FLII has a fiduciary duty to its clients
and recognizes that all employees must conduct their business in a manner that enables us to
fulfill this fiduciary duty. Accordingly, we have adopted a code of ethics that establishes the
standard of business conduct that all employees must follow. This code of ethics is premised
on fundamental principles of openness, integrity, honesty, and trust. Additionally, FLII
employees must comply with federal securities laws, they must report their personal securities
transactions for internal compliance review, and they must report any violations of the code of
ethics promptly to FLII’s chief compliance officer.
Form ADV
Page | 15
March 30, 2026
First Long Island Investors, LLC
FLII employees may buy or sell securities for their personal accounts that are also traded for
FLII’s client accounts. This practice presents a potential conflict of interest because employees
could trade before client orders are executed (“front running”) or otherwise benefit from
knowledge of client trading activity. To mitigate this conflict, FLII has adopted policies and
procedures designed to ensure that personal securities transactions are conducted in a manner
consistent with the firm’s fiduciary duties to clients. FLII employees are prohibited from (a)
trading in securities of any company about which such employee possesses material non-
public information or (b) knowingly and intentionally receiving a more favorable execution price
on a personal securities transaction than the execution price received by a client. The chief
compliance officer reviews employees’ personal trades quarterly to ensure that client interests
are placed first, that FLII’s employees are not engaged in a pattern of trading in anticipation of
client trading, and that employees are not otherwise receiving an improper benefit.
In addition, and as noted above, FLII recommends that certain clients invest in FLII-Advised
Funds, and FLII or its affiliates are compensated by those partnerships. Certain FLII officers
and employees also invest in these partnerships. FLII believes that the partnership structure
provides a vehicle that enables clients to obtain access to investment managers that they may
not be able to otherwise obtain. Nonetheless, there are various potential conflicts of interest
relating to partnership investments, particularly with respect to compensation. FLII addresses
this conflict by disclosing the costs of investing in any FLII-Advised Fund that is recommended
to clients, including FLII’s fees and other compensation. Such disclosures are in the offering
memoranda and related offering materials pursuant to which interests in these FLII-Advised
Funds are offered.
FLII’s code of ethics is available to clients and prospective clients upon request.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
From time to time, FLII may agree to pay a broker-dealer commissions for effecting client
transactions in excess of that which another broker-dealer might have charged for effecting the
transaction in recognition of the value of the brokerage and research services provided by the
broker-dealer. Accordingly, FLII may be deemed to be paying for research and other services
with “soft” or commission dollars. FLII (or the relevant account’s portfolio manager) will effect
such transactions, and receive such brokerage and research services, that are of benefit to the
accounts. FLII’s policy is to effect such transactions, and receive such brokerage and research
services, only to the extent that they fall within the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Prior to 12/31/2025, UBS Financial Services Inc. (“UBS”) provided FLII with quotation and news
services (Bloomberg Finance L.P. and FactSet Research Systems Inc.), which were paid for
using soft dollars. Such services provided a benefit to FLII as FLII did not have to directly pay
for such research and services. This arrangement, which was FLII’s only agreement to obtain
services paid for with soft dollars, ended on 12/31/2025. FLII is not paying for any services
with soft dollars as of the date of this Brochure.
We have negotiated with UBS an agreement where FLII clients pay commissions of four cents
($.04) per share on equity trades, and two cents ($.02) per share on option contracts.
Form ADV

March 30, 2026
First Long Island Investors, LLC
FLII bunches trades for clients (which can include the First Long Island Investors LLC 401K
Profit Sharing Plan and accounts of FLII officers and employees) whose brokerage is directed
to UBS. Such practice results in all clients whose trades are executed at the same time
receiving the same price, and has no effect on commissions. Prices are averaged, which may
result in clients receiving a higher or lower price than clients would receive if trades were done
individually. FLII believes that, over time, bunching trades is beneficial to clients.
The brother of the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of FLII is
Senior Vice President – Wealth Management at UBS and services the accounts of clients of
FLII. Because non-client directed brokerage is directed to UBS, commission rates on trades
are not individually negotiated, which may result in clients paying a higher commission on a
specific trade than they might otherwise pay except as described above. FLII may pay a
brokerage commission in excess of that which another broker might have charged for effecting
the same transaction, in recognition of the value of research or other services provided by the
broker.
FLII believes it is more efficient for FLII and its clients to open accounts for clients at one
brokerage firm. This reduces the amount of paper received by clients and FLII and facilitates
FLII’s ability to place block trades. Accordingly, FLII negotiated the commission rates
discussed above in this item with one brokerage firm.
FLII permits clients to direct brokerage. Clients who direct brokerage to specific broker-dealers
may not receive best price and execution, since under such circumstances, FLII will not be able
to bunch such trades with its other trades (which possibly reduce transaction costs), and such
trades will be placed after FLII causes its other trades to be executed. FLII will not be able to
negotiate commissions on behalf of such clients. Directing brokerage may cost clients more
than not directing brokerage.
FLII’s traders may on occasion experience errors with respect to trades executed for FLII
clients. There are various types of trade errors including, but not limited to: (a) the wrong
security being purchased or sold for an account, (b) the wrong quantity of securities being
purchased or sold for an account, (c) pricing errors, (d) timing errors involving the purchase or
sale of securities, and (e) trading in the wrong account. FLII endeavors to detect trade errors
prior to settlement and correct them in an expeditious manner. FLII’s traders review trading
records. When a possible trade error is detected, the traders will report the error to appropriate
personnel pursuant to established procedures, and they will review the applicable trade to
determine if in fact an error did occur, the cause of the error, the effect of the error, and whether
or not the error can be corrected prior to settlement.
FLII will reimburse each account (via cash or a rebate of Management Fees) to compensate
for net losses resulting from trade errors, to the extent that FLII is required to do so under the
governing agreements for such accounts. In general, FLII will not be liable to clients, in
damages or otherwise, for net losses resulting from a trade error, unless such trade error
results from FLII’s gross negligence, misconduct, or violation of applicable laws. When
possible, erroneous trades are canceled or reversed by moving them to an omnibus custodial
account and returning the parties to their pre-trade positions. Material trade errors are
Form ADV
Page | 17
March 30, 2026
First Long Island Investors, LLC
memorialized in written or electronic memoranda maintained by the chief compliance officer
and separately tracked by the trading team in a material trade error log.
Item 13. Review of Accounts
All securities transactions are reviewed for investment advisory clients to reconcile FLII’s
records with the applicable custodian’s records on a daily basis. FLII’s Investment Committee
reviews all client asset allocations on a quarterly basis to confirm that the accounts are invested
in accordance with the client’s needs and directions to FLII.
FLII provides clients a statement of assets managed on either a quarterly or monthly basis.
These statements provide a summary of the investments FLII oversees for each client listed
by asset class and show the investment’s value for the current and previous period.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
FLII shares with certain persons Advisory Fees we receive from referred clients. These
arrangements are disclosed to clients and are pursuant to written agreements in accordance
with applicable rules under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The fees charged to such
clients are not affected by such arrangements, nor are such clients charged any other fees on
account of such arrangements.
FLI, the affiliated broker-dealer discussed in Item 10, also refers, from time to time, certain
clients to invest in a managed account, partnership, or similar investment vehicle managed by
third-party registered investment advisers that have no affiliation with FLI or FLII. (See Item
“10” for more information.) As FLI is entitled to receive compensation for such referrals, it
discloses the arrangement in writing to the prospective referral client and provides other
disclosures in accordance with applicable SEC and FINRA rules.
Referral-based compensation may create a conflict of interest because FLI is incentivized to
refer assets to others to generate higher referral fees rather than acting in a client’s best
interest. However, FLI addresses this conflict by, for example, (i) providing the written
disclosures discussed above, which includes detailed information about FLI and FLII’s
business and potential conflicts, and (ii) maintaining a code of ethics and other compliance
policies and procedures designed to treat clients fairly and equitably. Additionally, to minimize
conflicts and ensure FLII’s interests are aligned with those of its clients, it has been the
longstanding practice of the principals of FLI and FLII to invest side-by-side with clients in every
recommended strategy other than fixed income, which is personalized to each client.
Item 15. Custody
Although FLII does not have custody of clients’ assets within the common meaning of “custody”,
FLII is deemed to have custody of client funds or securities with respect to assets in FLII-
Advised Funds as to which FLII or an affiliate serves as the general partner. In these instances,
clients either (1) annually receive an audited financial statement of the partnership or (2) the
partnership deposits its liquid assets and indicia of ownership of its underlying assets with a
qualified custodian that sends statements to partners on at least a quarterly basis. In the latter
Form ADV
Page | 18
March 30, 2026
First Long Island Investors, LLC
case, a surprise examination of the partnership’s assets is conducted on an annual basis by
an accountant registered with, and subject to inspection by, the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board.
FLII’s clients receive a quarterly or monthly statement of assets that lists the values of their
investments (including those held in partnerships). Because the assets reported by the
custodian represent the partnership’s assets, and not an individual partner’s assets, reports of
an individual client’s holdings will not be the same as the custodian’s statements of the
partnership’s holdings.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
FLII has discretion with respect to all assets it manages. If the assets are invested in a pooled
vehicle, the actual management of the assets may be delegated to another entity or entities.
FLII generally does not accept restrictions on its investment discretion. In isolated cases, FLII
has accepted investment restrictions with respect to low basis stock or otherwise on a case-
by-case basis.
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
Proxy Voting
FLII has authority to vote clients’ securities (except where another investment manager
oversees assets, in which case such manager has authority to vote clients’ securities in
accordance with its own proxy voting policies and procedures, as amended from time to time).
If a client wishes to vote proxies for assets held in a separately managed account on his or her
own behalf, the client may so advise FLII at any time and FLII will arrange for direct voting by
the client.
If a conflict of interest were to exist between FLII and clients, FLII will disclose to clients the
substance of FLII’s interest in the issue and seek from clients written direction on how to vote
on that issue. If FLII does not timely receive written direction, FLII will resolve the conflict by
voting securities as recommended by the issuer’s management.
Clients may request information pertaining to how FLII voted on any specific proxy issue and
may request a copy of FLII’s proxy voting policies and procedures by contacting FLII’s Senior
Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, either at FLII’s main phone
number (516-935-1200) or via email (jonathan@fliinvestors.com).
Class Action Lawsuits
Unless a client directs otherwise in writing, FLII has retained the services of Chicago Clearing
Corporation (“CCC”) to file all eligible class action lawsuits on behalf of FLII clients. CCC
researches, files, monitors, and expedites the distribution of class action settlements. When a
claim is settled and payments are awarded to FLII clients, it may be necessary to share client
information, such as name and account number, with CCC in connection with this service. In
Form ADV
Page | 19
March 30, 2026
First Long Island Investors, LLC
exchange for managing class action filings, CCC earns a fee based on a flat percentage of all
claims it collects on behalf of FLII’s clients. This fee is collected and retained by CCC out of
the claims paid by the claim administrator.
Clients may opt out of this service if they wish to file their own class action lawsuits by
contacting FLII’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, either
at FLII’s main phone number (516-935-1200) or via email (jonathan@fliinvestors.com).
Item 18. Financial Information
FLII does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months
or more in advance.
There are no financial conditions that are reasonably likely to impair FLII’s ability to meet its
contractual commitments to clients.
FLII has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
