Item # 5 FEES AND COMPENSATION
A) Advisory Services fees are calculated as 1% of assets under management of up to $5,000,000, billed quarterly in
arrears, with $500,000.00 minimum per family. Individual accounts in excess of $5,000,000.00 are charged an
annual fee of 1% for the first $5,000,000 and .75% for those assets over $5,000,000 and up to $10,000,000 and
.50% for assets in excess of $10,000,000.00. All fee amounts are aggregated for the total billed fee and again
billed quarterly in arrears. Fees are negotiable with an account inception amount of $20,000,000 or greater.
Lower fees for a comparable service may be available from other sources. Fees are straight tiered e.g. a $6mm

Pg. 6
Item # 8 METHODS OF ANALYSIS: INVESTMENT PROCESS
Five Mile River’s investment process and research discipline is a long-term,
fundamentally based, value-oriented, “bottom-up” approach and is not based
on market timing, economic forecasts, or short-term price movements or momentum. The in-depth research
effort is driven by contact and communication with the management of a large universe of candidate
businesses. We supplement this with a broad list of contacts including: industry experts, peer company
managements, customers and suppliers where appropriate. The objective is to have the resultant universe
consist of companies with strong free cash flow, inherent high normalized returns on equity and assets, a
strong balance sheet, discount to private market value, and an effective management team.
FMR will determine a suitable investment objective after discussing risk levels and volatility with a client or
potential client. Investing in any financial security (stocks or bonds) involves a certain degree of financial risk
of loss that the client should be prepared to bear.
Different types of investments and/or investment strategies involve varying levels of risk, and there can be
no assurance that any specific investment or investment strategy will be either suitable or profitable for a
client’s or prospective client’s portfolio, and there can be no assurance that investors will not incur losses.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. While FMR endeavors
to furnish accurate information, investors should not rely upon the accuracy or completeness of this
information.

Item # 8 Continued
INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
The founding partners of Five Mile River Investment Management, LLC
(FMR) are managers whose investment philosophy is to find companies which possess superior business models and
are priced at a discount to private market value. This philosophy has served to generate above average long-term
returns during various kinds of business and economic cycles.
Attractive business models have the capacity to generate free cash flow, high returns on both equity and assets, and the
capability of growing their dividends in excess of inflation. Success in buying corporate assets at a discount from their
true business value (to another corporate buyer) serves to protect downside risk from significant capital loss. Buying
businesses that generate more cash than is required in the business protects shareholder value either in the form of
consistent and significant share repurchase and/or a growing dividend. Corporate share repurchase and dividend
growth serve to enhance long-term performance and tend to be hallmarks of companies possessing good business
models.
The key to the realization of superior returns from buying these kinds of businesses is finding, through research, a
catalyst for closing the discount to private market value. Only through a disciplined investment process can this value
be realized on a consistent long-term basis.
Different types of investments and/or investment strategies involve varying levels of risk, and there can be no
assurance that any specific investment or investment strategy will be either suitable or profitable for a client’s or
prospective client’s portfolio, and there can be no assurance that investors will not incur losses. Investing in
securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. While FMR endeavors to furnish accurate
information, investors should not rely upon the accuracy or completeness of this information.

C) There are no relationships or arrangements that are material to FMR or FMR’s clients which create

disclosed. FMR strictly adheres to the fiduciary standard to “always put the client’s interest first.”
D) FMR does not recommend other investment management firms nor receive any compensation for

Pg. 15
Item # 11 CODE OF ETHICS
A) Five Mile River Investment Management, LLC (FMR) has read and adopted SEC Rule 204A-1 governing the FMR
Code of Ethics. Simply put, FMR has a fiduciary responsibility to put our clients’ interests first in all matters and to
hold all employees to a standard of ethical conduct premised on fundamental principles of integrity, honesty, trust,
and transparency. FMR will make their Code of Ethics available to clients or prospective clients on request.
B) Policies presented in the Code of Ethics and company procedures designed to avoid conflicts of interest are:
a. Monitoring and recording any material non-public information.
b. No client investments have any financial involvement by the principals of FMR. All employee stock purchases
or sales must have a Personal Transactions Form (PTF) signed by an authorized person for employee trades
regardless of the custody bank. If authorized persons are not available to sign the PTF, a verbal approval may
be given providing a PTF is signed within a reasonable time frame. Approval is granted if FMR is not engaged
in buying or selling the security on the PTF, or there is not a working order for the requested security. Also,
employees are not allowed to participate in IPOs or private offerings in which the client is participating. This
insures that firm employee trades will not conflict with clients’ trades.
c. The FMR Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) reviews any violation of the Code of Ethics; the CCO updates all
documentation as they are affected with new SEC and states rules; the CCO reviews new rules and procedures
with employees at quarterly meetings.
d. FMR employees have no financial interests in client investments. FMR complies with SEC Rule 204-2 Books
and Records, which includes but not limited to record archiving of: monthly statements, quarterly letters and
written correspondence from all custody banking relationships.
e. The FMR CCO files with FINRA forms ADV Part 1 and ADV Part 2, and necessary state filings
C) Annually all employees and partners are presented with a copy of the FMR Compliance Policies and Procedures
Manual, and the Code of Ethics. Each year, employees and partners confirm, by signature, that they have read the
documents and will adhere to its policies.
Pg. 16
Item # 12 BROKERAGE PRACTICES
1) The determination of our prime broker is based upon: financial strength, services provided, including
trading and execution capability. Five Mile River Investment Management, LLC chose RBC Advisor
Services, a division of RBC Capital Markets (RBC) because it provides a full range of research,
wealth management, trading and execution services. An account may select a custodian of their choice, other than RBC. The services received
from RBC are deemed to be a benefit to both FMR and our clients such that FMR could make its prime broker selection based on its needs rather
than the clients’ needs. However, FMR’s overriding policy is to always put the clients’ needs ahead of FMR’s.
2) Orders placed into the Electronic Order Entry Trading Platforms may be entered by Mr. Lee Garcia, Mr. Todd Robbins, Mrs. Martha Robbins, or
Mrs. Mary Robbins. Mrs. Martha Robbins enters trades only as directed by Mr. Garcia, Mr. Robbins, or Mrs. Mary Robbins. Because no outside
broker is involved in order executions, FMR is able to monitor each order on a ‘real-time’ basis so that the company adheres to FMR’s best
execution policies (a copy of Five Mile River’s Best Execution Policy is available on request):
a. Execution requirements of a particular transaction i.e., size of order, or liquidity of a given security will dictate how the order is entered,
as a market order, or limited in size or by price.
b. Commissions are limited to no more than $.03/share and not less than $10/trade. This reflects execution costs, as well as consideration of
research and other services provided to the accounts.
c. FMR seeks to obtain best execution through ‘real-time’ monitoring of each order.
d. All commissions are reviewed quarterly by FMR.
3) RBC provides FMR clients a variety of services, including access to equity research, and password protected on-line access is offered for all
clients to see their accounts. Clients are encouraged to take advantage of the on-line access to their accounts so that they can view their
portfolios and the activity on a real-time basis. RBC also sends monthly statements to each client showing: positions, trading activity, interest,
dividends, gains and losses, contributions and withdrawals. RBC also provides an ad hoc performance tool for client accounts called
Performance View, that FMR uses to discuss account performance. FMR has contracted with Informa Investment Solutions to provide
performance software called “Investment Scorecard,” which uses GIPS (Global Investment Performance Standards) formulas to produce time
weighted returns. RBC downloads the FMR account activity data from their Advisory Platform System and feeds that data into the Investment
Scorecard program for determining quarterly performance.
4)
Individual trades are entered on an account-by-account basis. RBC’s trading platforms permit the purchase or sale of a security across all
accounts simultaneously. This ensures that all accounts with the same investment objectives receive the same price if FMR is adding or deleting
an individual stock across multiple accounts.
5) RBC’s research covers company, industry, market, and economic data. FMR is permitted to use a portion of the commissions RBC generates to
pay for research services. To date these payments (“soft dollars”) have included FactSet Research, and New York Stock Exchange Market Data,
and others. Research services payments are in accord with the policies outlined in the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 Section 28 (E).
Pg. 17
Item # 13 REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Reviews of accounts are a continuous process. Client portfolios of Five Mile River Investment Management, LLC will
hold on average 30 to 35 different stocks, so that any buy or sell transaction by FMR prompts an account review. Client
account reviews are performed, on average, quarterly. Some of the factors that trigger reviews include: the unique
individual investment objectives of a particular client, changes in portfolio asset allocation, fluctuations in individual
securities, cash levels, contributions, withdrawals, or changes in portfolio strategy.
Reviewers of client accounts are Managing Directors Mr. Lee Garcia, Mr. Todd Robbin, and Mrs. Mary Robbins. They
are jointly responsible for establishing investment strategies for each account in accordance with each client’s investment
objectives. As of May 22, 2026, there are 110 individual accounts. Mr. Garcia, Mr. Robbins, and Mrs. Mary Robbins
share responsibility for reviewing all accounts. The three Managing Directors, Mr. Garcia, Mr. Robbins, and Mrs. Mary
Robbins back up each other during absences. The 110 accounts predominately fall into the following categories of
investment management style: growth, balanced and income. Upon engagement with FMR, each client discusses their
investment objectives with the investment team. The objectives are documented in the Client Coverage List and the RBC
Portfolio Advantage platform. The client’s objectives can be modified at any time as a result of ongoing conversations
between the client and Mr. Garcia, Mr. Robbins, or Mrs. Mary Robbins.
Clients are encouraged to contact the investment team at Five Mile if they have specific questions regarding their
portfolio, their investment goals or general market questions. Clients are also reminded in the quarterly letters to call Five
Mile if they have any questions.
Reports to Clients. FMR mails a quarterly report to all investors that describes performance, market outlook and trends.
All quarterly letters are archived on FMR’s website www.FiveMileRiver.com.
Pg. 18
Item # 14 CLIENT REFERRALS
Beginning in Februry 2020 FMR agreed to compensate for client referrals by accepting to house and manage
accounts for several individuals referred to FMR from a retiring investment manager. FMR has agreed to evenly split
the 1% fee (50/50) with the retired manager for these referrals. This agreement terminated on June 30, 2024. All
other new business for the firm has originated by word-of-mouth from our existing clients. No client or non-client
provides any economic benefit to FMR for providing investment advice or other advisory services to FMR’s clients.
Item # 15 CUSTODY AND BILLING
1) Five Mile River Investment Management LLC, assumes responsibility for selecting a custodian bank. FMR has
selected RBC Advisor Services (RBC) as the qualified custodian banks for all our accounts. They hold all client
securities and cash.
2) Monthly (or at a minimum quarterly) account statements are provided to each client by FMR’s custodian bank, RBC
Advisor Services. These statements detail changes in: account value, asset allocation, profit and loss for each
security, contributions and withdrawals, and a summary of all activity in each account for that month. Account data
can be viewed by each client through password protected web databases.
3) Clients are requested to carefully review each month’s statement to verify that the account information is accurate.
4) At the end of each quarter, clients receive a billing statement, showing the FMR fee which is a quarter of 1% of
assets under management (0.75% annually between $5,000,000.00 and $10,000,000; and 0.50% annually for an
over $10,000,000.00. These stepped fees are aggregated for billing totals). The fee may be deducted from the
client’s RBC account, or the client can request to have the fee billed directly. Also, there is no pre-billing of fees for
account management. Fees are negotiable with an account inception amount of $20,000,000 or greater.
Pg. 19
Item # 16
INVESTMENT DISCRETION
1) All accounts at Five Mile River are managed on a discretionary basis. All clients sign
an Investment Management Agreement (a copy is available on request) permitting
FMR to have discretion over all trading of their accounts. RBC Advisor Services
Account Application Forms require that the client provide personal information.
FMR’s Client Information Sheet requests that the client describes their investment objectives (Example: income,
balanced, growth, and concentrated/aggressive). At the same time we reach an understanding of their risk profile.
2) Securities to be bought or sold and their portfolio weightings are determined through the independent research of FMR in
combination with the client’s investment objectives. Researching FMR’s current investments and new potential
investments is a continuing process for managing directors, Mr. Lee Garcia, Mr. Todd Robbins, and Mrs. Mary Robbins.
This database of information about FMR investments is updated quarterly, coincident with earnings releases. The
database includes earnings and dividend estimates, as well as, price objectives. In addition to analyzing quarterly
company earnings, FMR augments this through additional research that includes: current market news, FactSet,
MarketSmith (William O’Neil+Co), brokers’ research reports, SEC filings, and financial magazines and newspapers.
3) FMR has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific client consent, the type and amount of securities to be
bought or sold on behalf of its clients, consistent with the client’s objectives. This authority grants FMR discretion to
perform all investment decisions. It is possible, however, that the client can place restrictions on the type of securities that
are eligible to be included in an account. For example, a client serves on various boards, and FMR does not invest in
those company stocks for that client.
Different types of investments and/or investment strategies involve varying levels of risk, and there can be no assurance
that any specific investment or investment strategy will be either suitable or profitable for a client’s or prospective
client’s portfolio, and there can be no assurance that investors will not incur losses. Investing in securities involves risk
of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. While FMR endeavors to furnish accurate information, investors
should not rely upon the accuracy or completeness of this information.
Pg. 20

3) APPENDIX - SUMMARY
WHY VALUE ORIENTED INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY?
• Investing in good businesses and attractive assets at a discount to real
value is, in our belief, a solid strategy for building long-term wealth. FMR does not invest in stocks as
short-term trading vehicles. FMR does review all accounts for tax efficient strategies.
• Value strategies are grounded in fundamentals, not technical nor momentum characteristics that are often
fleeting and not based on what real businesses are worth.
• Disciplined value investing typically has lower volatility than other strategies, giving investors more of an
opportunity to build wealth with a longer-term horizon.
WHY FIVE MILE RIVER INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC?
• Specifically focused on the needs of families and high net worth individuals.
• Personalized client service with on-line transparency of all transactions.
• Disciplined risk control and diversification.

MISSION STATEMENT
Five Mile River Investment Management, LLC (FMR) was founded in 2003 as a result of
requests from the founding partners’ family members and friends to invest, grow and
protect their assets. Securing a strong financial future for clients was and continues to be the
foundation for Five Mile River Investment Management. Building wealth and providing strategic personal guidance through
experienced hands-on investment management is our mission.
Five Mile has grown from that simple objective in 2003, to today where we take care of our families, our friends and their
families and friends. Many of the family accounts are multi-generational. With thirty families it is our objective to thoroughly
understand every client’s financial goals and to translate those goals into specific portfolios that meet their financial objectives.
Our core value and standard in managing these portfolios is to invest our client’s assets according to their specific goals.
Five Mile River continues to grow through the referrals from our clients. New clients come to FMR for investment advisory
services because of an established record of long-term superior returns with personal and responsive client support. Five Mile
River commits significant one-on-one time with each client to tailor their taxable and retirement portfolios to meet their return
and risk objectives. On-going client communication is critical to addressing shifting objectives.

University. This extensive money management experience in every kind of investment market over the past 45 years
comfortably accommodates a broad range of individual investment goals through building customized portfolios.
