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. - 9 - 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 - 10 - Hahn Financial Group, Inc. • 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.

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 Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest 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 - 11 - Hahn Financial Group, Inc. These fees do not include brokerage fees that may be assessed by the custodial HFG. 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. - 16 - Hahn Financial Group, Inc.
