HFG is a fee based investment management firm. The firm also sells insurance products

An evaluation of each client's initial situation is assessed via a net worth statement or risk
analysis. Periodic reviews are also communicated to provide reminders of the specific
courses of action that need to be taken. More frequent reviews occur but are not
necessarily communicated to the client unless immediate changes are recommended.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, tax preparers, insurance agents, etc.) are
engaged directly by the client on an as-needed basis and may charge fees of their own.
For example, tax preparation and to the extent your estate plan needs to be updated, the
tax preparer and/or attorney will bill the client separately. Conflicts of interest will be
disclosed to the client in the event they should occur.
The goals and objectives for each client are documented in our client files. Investment
strategies are created that reflect the stated goals and objective. Clients may impose
restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.

combined for a reduced fee. Fees are billed quarterly in advance based on the amount of
assets managed as of the last business day of the previous quarter. Initial fees for partial
quarters are waived. Quarterly advisory fees are deducted from the clients' account by the
custodian. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.
Clients may terminate their account within five (5) business days of signing the
Investment Advisory Agreement for a full refund. Clients may terminate advisory services
with seven (7) days written notice.
Upon Client termination, management fees will be pro-rated to the effective date of
termination. Client will receive a refund of management fees paid but not yet earned
through the effective date of termination except for management fees totaling less than or
equal to $50 per Client. The $50 is considered as the administrative costs to process the
termination. “The date of termination” is defined as the date of total withdrawal or total
transfer from the account. If unearned management fees total more than $50 per Client
upon termination, they will be refunded in total to the Client.
(Pro rata is calculated by multiplying the Annual Fee by the Account Value divided by the
number of days left in the quarter divided by 360 days. For example if the Account value
was $500,000 and the account was closed with 15 days left in the quarter the calculation
would be (1% x 500,000) x (15/360) = $208.33.) Client shall be given thirty (30) days
prior written notice of any increase in fees, and client will acknowledge, in writing, any
agreement of increase in said fees.

Client Payment of Fees
The fee schedule, which includes compensation of HFG for the services, is described in
detail in Schedule A of the ERISA Plan Agreement. The Plan is obligated to pay the fees,
however the Plan Sponsor may elect to pay the fees. Client may elect to be billed directly
or have fees deducted from Plan Assets. HFG does not reasonably expect to receive any
additional compensation, directly or indirectly, for its services under this Agreement. If
additional compensation is received, HFG will disclose this compensation, the services
rendered, and the payer of compensation. HFG will offset the compensation against the
fees agreed upon under this Agreement.
Additional Client Fees Charged
Investment management fees are billed quarterly in advance, meaning we bill you before
the three-month period has started. Payment in full is expected upon invoice
presentation. Fees are usually deducted from a designated client account to facilitate
billing. The client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account.
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds,
include Mutual Fund
equities, and exchange-traded funds. These charges may
transactions fees, postage and handling and miscellaneous fees (fee levied to recover
costs associated with fees assessed by self-regulatory organizations). These transaction
charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a security. The
- 8 -
Hahn Financial Group, Inc.
selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the custodian
charges to buy or sell the security. HFG does not receive any portion of these fees.
Prepayment of Client Fees
For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.
External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
HFG does not require prepayment of fees of more than $500 per client and six months or
more in advance.
HFG does not receive any external compensation for the sale of securities to clients.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Sharing of Capital Gains
Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed
securities.
HFG does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest.
Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the adviser to recommend
an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the client.
Item 7: Types of Clients
Description
HFG generally provides investment advice to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, and pension plans.
Account Minimums
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
HFG does not require a minimum to open an account but some money managers may
require a minimum.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods may include charting, fundamental, technical, and cyclical
analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to
bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.
Charting analysis involves the use of patterns in performance charts. HFG uses this
technique to search for patterns used to help predict favorable conditions for buying
and/or selling a security.
Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial
health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and volume.
Cyclical analysis involved the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for
buying and/or selling a security.

Hahn Financial Group, Inc.
Investment Strategy
The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, research
materials prepared by others, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses, and
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the
client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Each
client executes an Investment Policy Statement, Risk Tolerance or similar form that
documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy.
Security Specific Material Risks
Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, trading, and
option writing (including covered options, uncovered options or spreading strategies).
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Fundamental
analysis may involve interest rate risk, market risk, business risk, and financial risk. Risks
involved in technical analysis are inflation risk, reinvestment risk, and market risk.
Cyclical analysis involves inflation risk, market risk, and currency risk.
Interest-rate Risk
•
Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the
following investment risks and should discuss these risks with HFG:
• Market Risk
: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to
fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become
less attractive, causing their market values to decline.
•
: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction
to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by
external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances.
For example, political, economic and social conditions may trigger market
Inflation Risk
events.
: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more
than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of
• Currency Risk
inflation.
• Reinvestment Risk
: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of
the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is
also referred to as exchange rate risk.
• Business Risk
: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may
have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This
primarily relates to fixed income securities.
• Liquidity Risk
: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a
particular company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies
depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can
generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric
company which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who
buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like.
: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized

• Financial Risk
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate
properties are not.
: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases
the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its
obligations in good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability
to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market
value.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Criminal or Civil Actions
Administrative Enforcement Proceedings
The firm and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action.
Self-Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings
The firm and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement
proceedings.

Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration
Futures or Commodity Registration
HFG is not registered as a broker dealer, and its employees are not registered
representatives of an unaffiliated broker-dealer.
Neither HFG nor its employees are registered or have an application pending to register
as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity trading

advisor.
Kelly Hahn and Verlyn Hahn are also licensed insurance agents through Hahn Financial
Group, Inc. Approximately 5% of Kelly’s time and approximately 30% of Verlyn’s time is
spent in this practice. From time to time, they will offer clients services from those
activities.
These practices represent conflicts of interest because they give an incentive to
recommend products based on the commission amount received. This conflict is
mitigated by disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to place the best
interest of the client first and the clients are not required to purchase any products.
Clients have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent of
their choosing.
Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of
Interest
HFG may at times utilize the services of another investment advisor, Wealth Management,
to manage client accounts. This situation may create a conflict of interest as the fees
retained by HFG may be higher with some advisors. However, when referring clients to
other investment advisors, the client’s best interest will be the main determining factor of

broker dealer. Fees for these services will be based on a percentage of assets under
management not to exceed any limit imposed by any regulatory agency which are detailed
in Item 5 of this brochure.
This relationship will be disclosed to the client in each contract between HFG and the
other investment advisor. Client will initial HFG's Investment Advisory Agreement to
acknowledge receipt of Third Party fee Schedule and required documents including Form
ADV Part 2 disclosures.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics Description
The employees of HFG have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our
Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of HFG employees and addresses
conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for employees of HFG. The
Code reflects HFG and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of
their client.
One area which the Code addresses is when employees buy or sell securities for their
personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our clients. We do not
allow any employees to use non-public material information for their personal profit or to
use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our clients.
HFG’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non-public or
inside information. No advisory representative or other employee, officer or director of
HFG may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory clients or
engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory
representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security.
HFG’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the client are our top
priority. HFG’s officers, directors, advisors, and other employees have a fiduciary duty to
our clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and
confidence of our clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the client’s
interests over the interests of either employees or the company.
to clients, or who have access
The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are employees who have access to
non-public information regarding any clients' purchase or sale of securities, or non-public
information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are involved in
making securities recommendations
to such
recommendations that are non-public.
The firm will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon
Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of
request.
Interest
HFG and its employees do not recommend to clients securities in which we have a
material financial interest.
- 12 -
Hahn Financial Group, Inc.
Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of
Interest
HFG and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients. In order to
mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running, employees are required to disclose all
reportable securities transactions as well as provide HFG with copies of their brokerage
statements.
The Chief Compliance Officer of HFG is Kelly Hahn. She reviews all employee trades each
quarter. The personal trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of employees does
not affect the markets and that clients of the firm receive preferential treatment over
employee transactions.
Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm
Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest
HFG does not have a material financial interest in any securities being recommended and
therefore no conflicts of interest exist. However, employees may buy or sell securities at
the same time they buy or sell securities for clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of
interest such as front running, employees are required to disclose all reportable securities
transactions as well as provide HFG with copies of their brokerage statements.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions
HFG will recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer based on their duty to seek
best execution for the client, meaning they have an obligation to obtain the most favorable
terms for a client under the circumstances. The determination of what may constitute
best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a
number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection include
the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with which the
transaction is affected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block is involved,
the operational facilities of the broker-dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with
such broker and the financial strength and stability of the broker. HFG will select
appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their
relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. HFG relies on its broker to provide its
execution services at the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable services may be
available from other sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the
advisory fee charged by HFG. HFG does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
• Directed Brokerage
HFG will recommend the use of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
• Best Execution
In circumstances where a client directs HFG to use a certain broker-dealer, HFG still
has a fiduciary duty to its clients. The following may apply with Directed Brokerage:
HFG 's inability to negotiate commissions, to obtain volume discounts, there may be
a disparity in commission charges among clients and conflicts of interest arising
from brokerage firm referrals.
Investment advisors who manage or supervise client portfolios on a discretionary
basis have a fiduciary obligation of best execution. The determination of what may
- 13 -
Hahn Financial Group, Inc.
• Soft Dollar Arrangements
constitute best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a
broker involves a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting
brokerage selection include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios,
the efficiency with which the transaction is effected, the ability to effect the
transaction where a large block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker-
dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial
strength and stability of the broker. The firm does not receive any portion of the
trading fees.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as
arrangements under which products or services other than execution services are
obtained by HFG from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing client
transactions to the broker-dealer. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, HFG receives economic benefits as a result of commissions
generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the accounts of
HFG. These benefits include both proprietary research from the broker and other
research written by third parties.
Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts
A conflict of interest exists when HFG receives soft dollars. This conflict is mitigated by
disclosures, procedures, and the firm’s Fiduciary obligation to act in the best interest of its
clients and the services received are beneficial to all clients.
HFG is authorized in its discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other
transactions made for the account with purchases and sales and transactions in the same
securities for other Clients of HFG. All clients participating in the aggregated order shall
receive an average share price with all other transaction costs shared on a pro-rated
basis.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory
Persons Involved
Account reviews are performed quarterly by IARs of HFG. Account reviews are performed
Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis
more frequently when market conditions dictate.
Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency
Other conditions that may trigger a review of clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws,
new investment information, and changes in a client's own situation.
Clients receive account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts. Account
statements are issued by the Asset Manager’s custodian. Clients are urged to review the
account statements received directly from their custodians. Client receives confirmations
of each transaction in their account from the custodian and an additional statement
during any month in which a transaction occurs.
- 14 -
Hahn Financial Group, Inc.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and
Conflicts of Interest
Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals
HFG receives additional economic benefits from external sources as described above in
Item 12.
HFG does not compensate for client referrals.
Item 15: Custody
Account Statements
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to clients at their address of record at least quarterly.
HFG is deemed to have constructive custody solely because advisory fees are directly
deducted from client’s account by the custodian on behalf of HFG and due to its third-
party money movement authority.
HFG and its qualified custodian meet the following seven (7) conditions in order to avoid
maintaining full custody:
1.
The Client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes
the Client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or
the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be
directed.
2.
The Client authorizes HFG, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or
separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or
from time to time.
3.
The Client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction,
such as a signature review or other method to verify the Client’s authorization, and
provides a transfer of funds notice to the Client promptly after each transfer.
4.
The Client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the Client’s
qualified custodian.
5.
HFG has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party,
the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the Client’s
instruction.
6.
HFG maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of HFG or
located at the same address as HFG.
7.
The Client’s qualified custodian sends the Client, in writing, an initial notice
confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account
statements directly to Clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are
urged to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to any
documentation or reports prepared by HFG.
- 15 -
Hahn Financial Group, Inc.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
HFG accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients.
HFG has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific client consent, the
securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. The
client will authorize HFG discretionary authority to execute selected investment program
transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement.
The client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the
custodian. HFG does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid
by the client to the custodian on certain trades.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
HFG does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies.
The client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a
transfer agent.
When assistance on voting proxies is requested, HFG will provide recommendations to
the client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the client.
Item 18: Financial Information
Balance Sheet
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because HFG does not serve as a custodian
for client funds or securities and HFG does not require prepayment of fees of more than
$500 per client and six months or more in advance.
Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet
Commitments to Clients
Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years
HFG has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual
commitments to our clients.
Neither HFG nor its management has had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years.
