Item 4 – Advisory Business
Foundation Resource Management (FRM) is a fee-based, value investment advisory firm
headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas. FRM was founded in 1992. Meredith Moll is managing
principal and majority owner, and Zach Riley is also a principal owner. FRM manages separately-
managed portfolios of long-only positions in individual stocks and bonds for a diverse client base of
individuals, high net worth individuals, retirement plans, charitable institutions, foundations,
insurance companies, and hospitals.
As of December 31, 2025, FRM managed approximately $1,137,800,000 on a discretionary basis. No
assets were managed on a non-discretionary basis.
Clients may require that their investment portfolios be tailored to comply with, for example, certain
regulatory restrictions or restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. FRM is
happy to accommodate our clients in tailoring our advisory services to meet their needs.
Before engaging FRM to provide investment advisory services, clients are required to enter into an
Investment Advisory Agreement with FRM setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement
(including termination), describing the scope of the services to be provided, and the fee that is due
from the client. To begin the investment advisory process, FRM will ascertain each client’s investment
objective(s) and then allocate the client’s assets consistent with the client’s designated investment
objective(s). Once allocated, FRM provides ongoing supervision of the account(s).
Portfolio Activity FRM has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best
interest. As part of its investment advisory services, FRM will review client portfolios on an ongoing
basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon a range of factors, including, but not
limited to, investment performance, account additions/withdrawals, and/or a change in the client’s
investment objective. Based upon these factors, there may be extended periods of time when FRM
determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Of course, as
indicated below, there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by FRM will be profitable
or equal any specific performance level(s).
Client Obligations In performing our services, FRM is not required to verify any information received
from the client or from the client’s other professionals and is expressly authorized to rely thereon.
Each client is advised that it is his or her responsibility to promptly notify FRM if there is ever any
change in his or her financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing,
evaluating, or revising our previous recommendations and/or services.
Retirement Rollovers - Potential for Conflict of Interest A client or prospective client leaving an
employer typically has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a
1
combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll
over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll
over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could,
depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). If FRM recommends that a
client roll over his or her retirement plan assets into an account to be managed by FRM, such a
recommendation creates a conflict of interest if FRM will earn new (or increase its current)
compensation because of the rollover. When acting in such capacity, FRM serves as a fiduciary under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), or the Internal Revenue Code, or both. No
client is under any obligation to rollover retirement plan assets to an account managed by FRM.
Wrap Program Engagements FRM has clients who participate in wrap-fee programs with Raymond
James. Wrap fees are comprehensive charges levied by institutions for brokerage services. These
wrap fees do not include FRM’s investment advisory fees. FRM clients who participate in wrap-fee
programs contract directly with FRM for investment advisory services. There are no differences in the
method that these clients’ advisory fees are calculated and the method that our other clients’ fees
are calculated. FRM does not receive wrap fees for our services.
If FRM is engaged to provide investment advisory services as part of an unaffiliated wrap-fee
program, FRM will be unable to negotiate commissions and/or transaction costs. Under a wrap
program, the wrap program sponsor arranges for the investor participant to receive investment
advisory services, the execution of securities brokerage transactions, custody, and reporting services
for a single specified fee. Participation in a wrap program may cost the participant more or less than
purchasing such services separately. Higher fees adversely impact account performance.
Engagement Limitations FRM does not provide financial planning and/or related consulting services
regarding non-investment related matters such as estate planning, tax planning, or insurance. FRM
does not serve as an attorney, accountant, or insurance agent, and no portion of our services should
be construed as legal, accounting, or insurance services. Accordingly, FRM does not prepare estate
planning documents or tax returns and does not sell insurance products. To the extent requested by a
client, we may recommend the services of other professionals for certain non-investment
implementation purposes. The client is under no obligation to engage the services of any such
recommended professional. The client retains absolute discretion over such implementation
decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from FRM and/or its representatives. If
the client engages any recommended unaffiliated professional and a dispute arises thereafter relative
to such engagement, the client agrees to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged
professional. At all times, the engaged licensed professional[s] (i.e., attorney, accountant, insurance
agency, etc.), and not FRM, shall be responsible for the quality and competency of the services
provided.
2
Cybersecurity Risk The information technology systems and networks that FRM and its third-party
service providers use to provide services to FRM’s clients employ various controls that are designed
to prevent cybersecurity incidents stemming from intentional or unintentional actions that could
cause significant interruptions in FRM’s operations and/or result in the unauthorized acquisition or
use of clients’ confidential or non-public personal information. Clients and FRM are nonetheless
subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents that could ultimately cause them to incur financial losses
and/or other adverse consequences. Although FRM has established processes to reduce the risk of
cybersecurity incidents, there is no guarantee that these efforts will always be successful, especially
considering that FRM does not control the cybersecurity measures and policies employed by third-
party service providers, issuers of securities, broker-dealers, qualified custodians, governmental and
other regulatory authorities, exchanges and other financial market operators and providers.
Investment Risk Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be
assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy (including the
investments and/or investment strategies recommended or undertaken by FRM) will be profitable or
equal any specific performance level(s).
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Client fees are billed quarterly based on the fair market value of the client’s account. FRM’S basic fee
schedule is as follows:
Fee as a % of Assets Managed
Investment Objective
Second $5 million
Equity
Fixed Income
First $5 million
1.00%
0.35%
0.85%
0.30%
The above are general fee schedules, which may be negotiable for clients whose assets exceed $10
million, but the basis for compensation (as a percentage of assets under management for portfolio
management and supervisory services) is not negotiable. FRM bills its fees on a quarterly basis in
arrears. No fees are billed or collected in advance. Clients may elect to be billed directly for fees, or
they may elect to authorize their custodians to directly debit fees from their accounts. Management
fees are prorated for each significant capital contribution and withdrawal (10% of client’s account
value) made during the applicable calendar quarter (except for de minimis contributions and
withdrawals). Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated
fee. Upon termination of any account, any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. See
disclosure at Item 7 below.
3
Note that FRM considers cash to be a managed asset and is therefore included in our fee calculation.
At any specific point in time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events
(there being no guarantee that such anticipated market conditions/events will occur), FRM may
maintain cash positions for defensive purposes. In addition, while assets are maintained in cash, such
amounts could miss market advances. At times, fees on cash may exceed the money market yield.
Custodian Charges-Additional Fees As discussed at Item 12 below, when requested to recommend a
broker-dealer/custodian for client accounts, FRM generally recommends that Schwab or Fidelity
serve as the broker-dealer/custodian for client investment management assets. The specific broker-
dealer/custodian recommended could depend upon the scope and nature of the services required by
the client. Broker-dealers such as Schwab or Fidelity charge brokerage commissions, transaction,
and/or other type fees for effecting certain types of securities transactions (i.e., including transaction
fees for certain mutual funds, dealer spreads, and mark-ups and mark-downs charged for fixed
income transactions, etc.). The types of securities for which transaction fees, commissions, and/or
other type fees (as well as the amount of those fees) shall differ depending upon the broker-
dealer/custodian. While certain custodians, including Schwab or Fidelity generally (with exceptions)
do not currently charge fees on individual equity transactions, others do. Please Note: there can be
no assurance that Schwab or Fidelity will not change its transaction fee pricing in the future. Please
Also Note: Schwab and Fidelity may also assess fees to clients who elect to receive trade
confirmations and account statements by regular mail rather than electronically.
When beneficial to the client, individual fixed‐income and/or equity transactions may be effected
through broker‐dealers with whom FRM and/or the client have entered into arrangements for prime
brokerage clearing services, including effecting certain client transactions through other SEC
registered and FINRA member broker‐dealers (in which event, the client generally will incur both the
transaction fee charged by the executing broker‐dealer and a “trade-away” fee charged by Schwab or
Fidelity). The above fees/charges are in addition to FRM’s investment advisory fee. FRM does not
receive any portion of these fees/charges.
Item 12 further describes the factors that FRM considers in selecting or recommending broker-
dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g.
commissions).
Conflict of Interest Although FRM will allocate client assets consistent with the client’s designated
investment objective, the fact that FRM earns a higher fee for management of equity versus fixed
income investments presents a conflict of interest since it will present an economic incentive to
allocate more assets to those types of securities from which it will earn a higher advisory fee.
4
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees
FRM does not charge performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital
appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
FRM provides portfolio management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, retirement
plans, charitable institutions, foundations, insurance companies, and hospitals.
FRM’s minimum account requirement is $2,000,000 of assets under initial management for each new
client relationship. FRM may allow exceptions to this requirement depending on the potential client’s
account’s proximity to the minimum requirement and/or their perceived capacity to meet the
minimum account requirement within a reasonable time. FRM, in its sole discretion, may charge a
lesser investment advisory fee or waive its fee entirely based upon certain criteria (i.e., dollar amount
of assets to be managed, account composition, grandfathered fee schedules, employees and family
members, referrals from existing clients, competition, negotiations with client, etc.). As a result of the
above, similarly situated clients could pay different fees.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
FRM’s equity approach centers on the pursuit of intrinsic value. The price we pay for a security is
critical in providing an attractive return on our clients’ capital as well as protecting our clients against
a permanent loss of capital. This potential for permanent loss of capital is how we define risk. Our
approach requires patience and a willingness to think independently from the market. We perform
our own research internally. Our goal is to pay an attractive price for a stock based on either the
company’s proven ability to earn or its asset value.
FRM’s fixed income management is structured to safeguard capital while generating current income
in excess of that derived from investing in equity securities. As value investors, we demand that we
receive higher total returns for taking any of the various risks present in fixed income securities. We
attempt to leverage our research in the stock market to add value when investing in corporate bonds.
Risk premiums are frequently attractive on the companies we study the most since the bonds will
tend to be out of favor in parallel with the stock of the company. We are very conservative in
assuming significant interest rate risk (maturity risk) in a world of fiat currencies and inflation. Thus,
we favor a diversified portfolio of short and intermediate-term bonds, but this is subject to change if,
and when, we may reasonably determine that risk/reward merits consideration of investing in longer-
term issues. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
5
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of FRM or the integrity of FRM’s
management. FRM has no history of any disciplinary actions taken by regulatory or legal authorities.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
FRM is required by the SEC to report any affiliation with or arrangement with related parties or
registrations or applications pending as a broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, commodity
pool operator, or commodity-trading adviser. FRM does not have any such relationship or
arrangement.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
FRM’s Code of Ethics expresses the firm’s commitment to ethical conduct. Included in this Code of
Ethics are rules guiding the firm’s advisers and access persons regarding personal securities trading
practices. Advisers and access persons of the adviser may buy or sell securities for their personal
accounts identical to or different from those recommended to clients. However, it is the policy of
FRM that no person employed by FRM shall prefer his or her own interest to that of an advisory
client. Firm employees may not buy or sell securities for their own accounts until transactions of
securities in clients’ accounts are completed.
FRM’S Code of Ethics further includes the firm’s policy regarding the use of material non-public
information. All employees of FRM are instructed that such information may not be used in a
personal or professional capacity.
FRM does not participate in cross trades (trades arranged between clients), principal trades (trades
arranged between the firm and a client), or agency trades (trades arranged between a client and a
counterparty arranged by the firm).
To supervise compliance with its Code of Ethics, FRM requires that anyone associated with this
advisory practice with access to advisory recommendations provide annual securities holdings reports
and quarterly transaction reports for review to the firm’s principals and Chief Compliance Officer. All
supervised persons at FRM must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually.
FRM requires that all individuals must act in accordance with all applicable federal and state
regulations governing registered investment advisory practices. Any individual not in observance of
the above may be subject to termination.
6
Clients may request a complete copy of FRM’s Code of Ethics by contacting their adviser or the firm’s
Chief Compliance Officer, Abby McKelvy.
All members of FRM’s investment team are Chartered Financial Analyst Charterholders,® and as such
are also bound by and use the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct of The CFA
Institute as policy when effecting transactions for clients, specifically those standards and code
sections pertaining to fair dealing with clients and priority of transactions.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
For clients with assets in custody at banks, FRM utilizes a list of brokers approved by the principals of
the firm for securities trades. Approved brokers are those that FRM believes both offer competitive
commission rates and provide quality execution of trades. For clients who direct FRM to use a specific
broker for account transactions, FRM’s ability to seek best execution for account transactions may be
compromised. See Directed Brokerage Limitations below.
If a client requests a recommendation for a custodian for their assets, FRM may recommend that
clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab Advisor Services division of Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. (Schwab) or Fidelity Investments to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades
for their accounts.
Factors that FRM considers in recommending Schwab or Fidelity (or any other broker-
dealer/custodian to clients) include historical relationship with FRM, financial strength, reputation,
execution capabilities, pricing, research, and service. Broker-dealers such as Schwab and Fidelity can
charge transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions (See Item 4 above). To the extent
that a transaction fee will be payable by the client, the transaction fee shall be in addition to FRM’s
investment advisory fee referenced in Item 5 above.
To the extent that a transaction fee is payable, FRM shall have a duty to obtain best execution for
such transaction. However, that does not mean that the client will not pay a transaction fee that is
higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the same transaction where FRM
determines, in good faith, that the transaction fee is reasonable. In seeking best execution, the
determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best
qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including
the value of research provided, execution capability, transaction rates, and responsiveness.
Accordingly, although FRM will seek competitive rates, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest
possible rates for client account transactions.
Economic Benefits Although not a material consideration when determining whether to recommend
that a client utilize the services of a particular broker-dealer/custodian, FRM can receive from Schwab
7
or Fidelity without cost (and/or at a discount) support services and/or products, certain of which
assist FRM to better monitor and service client accounts. Included within the support services that
can be obtained by FRM can be investment-related research, pricing information and market data,
software and other technology that provide access to client account data, compliance and/or practice
management-related publications, discounted or gratis consulting services (including those provided
by unaffiliated vendors and professionals), discounted and/or gratis attendance at conferences,
meetings, and other educational and/or social events, marketing support (including client events),
computer hardware and/or software and/or other products used by FRM in furtherance of its
investment advisory business operations. Certain of the benefits that could be received can also assist
FRM to manage and further develop its business enterprise and/or benefit FRM’S representatives.
FRM’S clients do not pay more for investment transactions effected and/or assets maintained at
Schwab or Fidelity as the result of this arrangement. There is no corresponding commitment made by
FRM to Schwab or Fidelity, or any other entity, to invest any specific amount or percentage of client
assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products as result of the above
arrangement.
Schwab and Fidelity provide FRM with access to their institutional trading and operations services,
which are not typically available to Schwab or Fidelity retail investors.
Directed Brokerage Limitations As indicated above, FRM accepts directed brokerage arrangements
(when a client requires that account transactions be executed through a specific broker-dealer). In
such client-directed arrangements, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for his or her
account with that broker-dealer, and FRM will not be able to seek better execution services or prices
from other broker-dealers or be able to "batch" the client’s transactions for execution through other
broker-dealers with orders for other accounts managed by FRM. As a result, a client may pay higher
commissions or other transaction costs, greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices on
transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. In the event that the client directs
FRM to effect securities transactions for the client’s accounts through a specific broker-dealer, the
client correspondingly acknowledges that such direction may cause the accounts to incur higher
commissions or transaction costs than the accounts would otherwise incur had the client determined
to effect account transactions through alternative clearing arrangements that may be available
through FRM. Higher transaction costs adversely impact account performance.
Tradeaway/Prime Broker Fees When in the reasonable determination of FRM that it would be
beneficial for the client, individual equity and/or fixed income transactions may often be effected
through broker-dealers other than the account custodian, in which event, the client generally will
incur both the fee (commission, mark-up/mark-down) charged by the executing broker-dealer and a
separate “tradeaway” and/or prime broker fee charged by the account custodian. These fees are in
8
addition to FRM’s investment advisory fee discussed at Item 5. FRM does not receive any portion of
these fees.
Cash Sweep Accounts Certain account custodians can require that cash proceeds from account
transactions or new deposits be swept to and/or initially maintained in a specific custodian
designated sweep account. The yield on the sweep account will generally be lower than
those available for other money market accounts. When this occurs, to help mitigate the
corresponding yield dispersion, FRM shall (usually within 30 days thereafter) generally (with
exceptions) purchase a higher yielding treasury bill available on the custodian’s platform, unless FRM
reasonably anticipates that it will utilize the cash proceeds during the subsequent 90-day period to
purchase additional investments for the client’s account. Exceptions and/or modifications can and
will occur with respect to all or a portion of the cash balances for various reasons, including, but not
limited to client direction, the amount of dispersion between the sweep account and a treasury bill,
the size of the cash balance, an indication from the client of an imminent need for such cash, or the
client has a demonstrated history of writing checks or taking distributions from the account. Please
Note: The client shall remain exclusively responsible for yield dispersion/cash balance decisions and
corresponding transactions for cash balances maintained in any FRM unmanaged accounts.
Fair Dealing Consistent with the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct of The CFA
Institute, FRM will make every effort possible to treat all clients fairly regarding priority of execution
of transactions. Purchases and sales are executed in a manner that strives to ensure that no clients
systematically or disproportionately benefit or suffer. Our process involves blocking trades according
to custodians and is utilized to facilitate trading. Because this is the basis for our trading order, our
procedure is to utilize a random number generator to determine the order of execution. This ensures
that no custodians or clients routinely have trades executed before or after others.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Client accounts are reviewed and cross-reviewed at least quarterly. FRM’s portfolio managers review
all accounts for compliance with asset allocations targets, security position concentrations, industry
weightings, and investment performance disparity. Circumstances that might trigger more frequent
reviews include changes in economic conditions, interest rates, industry conditions, specific security
conditions, and client investment needs or circumstances. The portfolio managers of the firm are
responsible for performing the reviews and cross reviews of the other portfolio managers’ assigned
accounts.
All accounts are reconciled monthly by the portfolio accounting manager.
Account statements are distributed to clients on a quarterly basis. These statements include an
9
analysis of the portfolio’s performance relative to applicable indices as well as a comparison of
original and quarter-ending market values by individual security. Clients also receive monthly
statements from their custodians. See also Item 15 regarding Custody.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
As indicated in Item 12 above, FRM can receive from Schwab or Fidelity Investments, without cost
(and/or at a discount), support services and/or products. FRM’s clients do not pay more for
investment transactions effected and/or assets maintained at Schwab or Fidelity because of this
arrangement. We benefit from the products and services provided because the cost of these services
would otherwise be borne directly by us, and this creates a conflict. You should consider these
conflicts of interest when selecting a custodian. These products and services, how they benefit us,
and the related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12-Brokerage Practices). There is
no corresponding commitment made by FRM to these broker-dealers or any other entity to invest
any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific securities or investment products as
a result of the above arrangements.
FRM does not compensate unaffiliated individuals or entities for prospective client introductions.
FRM does provide bonus compensation to employees based upon new client introductions (100% of
the advisory fees paid by the introduced clients during the initial first full four quarters of the
engagement).
Item 15 – Custody
Under SEC Rule 206(4)-2 (known as the “custody rule”), FRM is considered to have custody of certain
clients’ assets as these clients have authorized the qualified custodian to debit advisory fees from the
clients’ accounts on behalf of FRM. To enter into this type of arrangement, FRM clients must provide
us with written authorization permitting direct payment to us of our advisory fees from their
account(s) maintained by a custodian who is independent of our firm. FRM also sends a statement to
our clients showing the amount of our fee, the value of the client’s assets upon which our fee was
based, and the manner in which our fee was calculated. We urge clients to verify the accuracy of our
fee calculation as the custodian will not determine whether the fee is properly calculated. All clients
should receive monthly statements from the qualified custodian that holds and maintains the client’s
investment assets. FRM urges its clients to carefully review these statements and compare them to
the account statements that we provide to them. Our statements may vary from custodial
10
statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain
securities.
As the principals of FRM are also trustees of the FRM Profit Sharing Plan, we are also deemed to have
custody of the assets of the plan, and as such, are subject to an annual surprise examination by an
independent public accountant and must submit a corresponding Form ADV-E to the SEC for as long
as the principals of FRM are trustees of the profit sharing plan.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
FRM receives discretionary authority from the client at the commencement of an advisory
relationship to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, however,
such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for
the client account.
When selecting securities and determining portfolio allocations, FRM observes the investment
policies, limitations, and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. Investment guidelines and
restrictions must be provided to FRM in writing. A limited power of attorney form must also be
executed prior to trading the account.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
It is the policy of FRM always to use prudence in voting proxies of clients’ assets and in so doing, to
vote such proxies in the best interests of the clients and their beneficiaries. It is also the policy of FRM
to exercise its fiduciary responsibility in the voting of these proxies in accordance with rules and
regulations as promulgated by the Department of Labor. It is our policy to resolve any conflicts of
interest we may encounter while exercising our voting authority in favor of the client. Any conflicts of
interest encountered by FRM and the resolution thereof will be documented by the CCO and kept on
file. A brief description of FRM’s proxy voting policy will be distributed to its clients once per year,
and we will offer to distribute the full proxy voting policy to clients upon request.
FRM adheres to the following procedures in voting client proxies:
11
1. Implement the steps necessary to ensure that the company is receiving and voting the proxies of
all applicable clients’ investments; and further, reconcile proxies to holdings at record date to satisfy
this obligation. If discrepancies exist between the shares voted at record date and the shares owned
by FRM’s clients, such discrepancies should be documented and resolved, if possible.
2. Parameters to be used in voting of proxies:
a. In general, we will vote "with management" on non-controversial and routine matters such as
setting the number of directors, the election of directors, the appointment of outside auditors, and
social/political questions.
b. We will support proposals that enhance stockholder/corporate democracy (i.e., confidential voting,
rights plans, etc.).
c. We will closely scrutinize and vote according to the circumstances and merits of proposals that we
interpret as possibly seeking to entrench and/or highly compensate management, including golden
parachutes and incentive compensation plans, as well as other "perks." We will not be voting for
approval of management compensation if incentive stock options are part of the overall
compensation of management, as we believe that stock options are not consistent with our desire to
maximize our clients’ long-term interests as shareholders.
d. We will closely scrutinize and vote according to the particular circumstances and merits of any
proposals that would effectuate "anti-takeover" provisions in or changes to a particular company's
by-laws, including, but not limited to proposals that would change and/or alter the way a particular
stock can be voted (i.e., cumulative voting, voting versus nonvoting, etc.).
Clients may obtain a copy of FRM’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request.
Clients may also obtain information from FRM about how FRM voted any proxies on behalf of their
account(s). If voting were performed in a manner that would justify further explanation, a memo
containing such an explanation will be attached to the file copy of the proxy.
If a client wishes to vote his/her/its own proxies, the client can advise FRM’s Chief Compliance
