Item 4.
Advisory Business
Harvest Investment Advisors has managed client accounts using a variety of equity and fixed income securities since 2004.
Each client account is held in client’s name at an independent custodian (see Item 15. Custody) and is managed separately.
Because of the specificity of client circumstances, portfolios developed for client’s range across the spectrum of asset classes—
from entirely in equities to entirely in fixed income instruments. Individual stocks and equity Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
serve as the primary vehicles for growth of assets, and are typically incorporated in longer-term portfolios with higher return
objectives and higher risk tolerances. Fixed income instruments are used primarily for preservation of capital and creation of
income, and are generally included in shorter-term portfolios with lower return needs and lower risk tolerances. The firm does
not limit its advice to any specific type of investment.
The firm is owned predominantly by one principal owner, who is an individual. This owner is:
--M. David Roberts, CFA, Managing Principal, CRD#4554816
The firm specializes in the construction and management of large-cap value equity portfolios, which consist of stocks which
Harvest believes are priced at less than their intrinsic value and offer an above-average dividend yield. Selecting only stocks
with above-average dividends is the foundation of the firm’s large-cap value strategy. Equity holdings outside of the firm’s
large-cap value strategy are limited to ETFs whose objective is to match the returns of an underlying equity index other than
large-cap value. Fixed income investments, where needed, are typically made in individual corporate, municipal, and agency
bonds, foreign sovereign bonds, U.S. Treasury, or certificates of deposit. Fixed income investments are selected based on their
credit rating, yield to maturity, and “fit” within a client’s overall investment objective.

Item 4 (continued)
Advisory Business
Harvest’s advisors meet with each client individually in order to determine return expectations, risk tolerances, and investment
constraints including time horizon, income and liquidity needs, and tax considerations. Once all needs and goals are
determined, the firm’s principals develop an appropriate and unique investment strategy for each client. Clients may impose
restrictions on the selection of certain securities, certain types of securities, or investment strategies employed (see Item 16.
Investment Discretion).
The firm does not sponsor or act as a portfolio manager to a wrap program.
As of December 31, 2025, Harvest Investment Advisors managed the following client assets:
$ 198,184,800
$ 2,100,600
Discretionary
Non-discretionary

Fees and Compensation
Harvest Investment Advisors is compensated for its services by the payment of an annual management fee. The fee is calculated
quarterly by applying 1/4th of the annual percentage rate to the market value of the client’s discretionary assets on the last day
of each quarter. The fee is billed and payable in arrears, based on the following fee schedule:
Assets Invested in Fixed Income Obligations
All amounts 0.50%
Assets Invested in Equity Securities
Up to $1,000,000
Amounts over $1,000,000
Amounts over $2,500,000
Amounts over $5,000,000
Amounts over $10,000,000
1.00%
0.90%
0.85%
0.80%
negotiable
Assets Invested in Exchange Traded Funds
All amounts 0.35%
All accounts are subject to a $1,000 minimum annual fee. Notwithstanding the above, Harvest may negotiate advisory
contracts with fee arrangements differing from the rates listed above.
Management fees are deducted directly from client accounts on a quarterly basis, following the delivery of written invoices to
clients which show fee calculations. There are no other fees or expenses that are payable to Harvest Investment Advisors.
Clients incur additional expenses when security transactions generate commissions. These are paid directly to the independent
custodian (see Item 12. Brokerage Practices). Clients that hold ETFs in their portfolios also incur management expenses
generated by the fund itself. These expenses are netted against the fund returns rather than being explicitly billed and payable
by the client.
Upon termination of an investment advisory contract, Harvest pro rates its management fee to the date of termination.

Item 8.
Methods of Analysis,
Investment Strategies,
and Risk of Loss
Harvest Investment Advisors’ selection and ongoing management of securities for clients involves extensive research using
various methods of analysis. Fundamental analysis of companies is the primary focus of our research efforts, but cyclical
analysis and, to a lesser degree, technical analysis, are also employed. Information on current company financials, future
projections, price and trade data, economic data, and various financial statistics and analytics information is gathered from
numerous sources, including computer databases (e.g., Bloomberg), company reports, presentations and meetings, prospectuses
and various SEC filings, corporate rating services, research material from outside analysts, financial newspapers, and inspection
of corporate activities.
Despite the significant investments of time and resources that these research efforts require, clients should be aware that losses
do occur. Harvest emphasizes the selection of high-quality, large company stocks in its equity portfolios and highly-rated
investment grade bonds in its fixed income portfolios. Yet ownership of any securities, particularly stocks and mutual funds,
but also bonds, that are not contractually guaranteed are subject to loss of principal if market prices move adversely or the
underlying company goes into distress. Clients should understand and be willing to bear these risks before investing.
The firm’s primary investment strategy is a “buy-and-hold” strategy, purchasing both stocks and bonds that we expect will be
held at least a year. The firm has a sell discipline in place that governs ownership of large-cap value stocks. This discipline is
based on the following four points:
• a decreased dividend yield
• deteriorating company outlook
• a certain percentage decline from cost
• need of the funds elsewhere.
Abiding by this discipline occasionally results in sales of securities less than a year after purchase. Fixed income securities are
typically held to maturity. At no time does Harvest engage in short term “trading” of securities.

Methods of Analysis,
Investment Strategies,
and Risk of Loss
Harvest Investment Advisors specializes in the selection and management of large-cap value stocks. This focus emphasizes
companies with solid management, commitment to paying dividends, an extensive track record, and large market
capitalization. In addition to the risks of stock ownership stated above, portfolios invested exclusively in this asset class and
style may lack the benefits of diversification into other asset styles and classes. Whenever possible, Harvest seeks to build
diversification for clients across asset classes and investment types, dependent on the goals, needs, and preferences of each
specific client.

Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
The Principal of Harvest Investment Advisors is a CFA charterholder and, as a result, the firm operates and reports
performance under the guidelines of the CFA Institute’s Code of Ethics and the Global Investment Performance Standards.
The firm’s Code of Ethics has four main tenets along the lines of the CFA Institute’s Code that all employees are expected to
abide by:
1) Act ethically and with integrity in all dealings with clients, prospective clients, fellow employees, and the general public;
2) Client interests always have priority over personal interests;
3) Investments should always be selected diligently, using prudence and independent judgment;
4) Abide by all state and Federal laws and regulations.
All employees report and provide copies of all personal securities transactions to allow for monitoring of any conflicts of
interest or breach of the Code of Ethics that may arise.
Failure of any employee to adhere to the firm’s Code of Ethics is grounds for immediate termination. A copy of the firm’s full
Code of Ethics is available on request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Harvest Investment Advisors does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to Harvest Investment
Advisors or Harvest Investment Advisors has a material financial interest.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 13
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 11. (continued)
Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Personal Trading
At various times employees of Harvest Investment Advisors may own or have an interest in owning a security that is owned by
clients or is being considered for inclusion in client accounts. In this situation, there may be a conflict of interest created if the
employee has an incentive to give his or her trade priority over potential client trades—either by buying or selling shares in
advance of client trades, thus benefiting from any incremental market affect generated by the client trades.
Trading by Harvest employees in securities owned or recently sold by clients is thus prohibited within three days before or after
any trade in that security in any client account. Personal trades in reportable securities (which excludes mutual funds) are
expected to be timed to prevent a conflict of interest or appearance of a conflict of interest.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 14
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 12.
Brokerage Practices
Harvest Investment Advisors uses complete discretion in deciding which brokers will be used to execute transactions of
securities. Harvest generally recommends that a client in need of brokerage and custodial services utilize a discount brokerage
firm in order to receive low commission rates. Harvest selects brokers and dealers by evaluating the brokerage terms in their
entirety. These include a security's price, the broker or dealer's availability and efficiency in executing a transaction, and the
commission. Another factor in selecting a broker or dealer can be the corresponding access to investment research even
though, in some cases, a lower commission may be charged by a broker or dealer who does not offer access to research.
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
Harvest is a member of the Schwab Institutional advisor programs, and may recommend either of these firms for custody and
brokerage services. Charles Schwab & Co. offer to independent investment advisors’ services which include custody of
securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. Harvest receives some benefits from Charles Schwab & Co.
through its participation in their institutional advisor programs. We generally use such products and services in the conduct of
our investment decision-making generally, not just for those accounts whose commissions may be considered to have been used
to pay for the products and services.
Although there is no direct link between Harvest’s participation in these institutional advisors’ programs and the investment
advice it gives to its clients, the firm does receive economic benefits through its participation in these programs that are typically
not available to retail investors. The benefits include:
• receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations
• research related products and tools
• consulting services
• access to a trading desk serving advisor participants
• access to block trading
• the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from client accounts
• access to an electronic communications network for client order entry and account information
• discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products or services
provided by third party vendors.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 15
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 12. (continued)
Brokerage Practices
Some of the products and services listed above may benefit Harvest but not its clients. The benefits received by Harvest
through participation in these programs does not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to these
organizations. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, the firm endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first.
Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by Harvest in and of itself creates a potential conflict of
interest and may indirectly influence Harvest’s choice of firms providing custody and brokerage services.
Harvest does not receive products or services other than execution (“soft dollar benefits”) from a broker-dealer or third-party for
generating commissions.
.
Harvest makes an ongoing good faith determination that the number of commissions or other fees paid is reasonable in relation
to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. In making this determination, the firm considers not only the
particular transaction or transactions, and not only the value of brokerage and research services and products to a particular
client, but also the value of those services and products in the performance of our overall responsibilities to all of our clients. In
some cases, the commissions or other transaction fees charged by a particular brokerage firm for a particular transaction may be
greater than the amounts another brokerage firm who did not provide research services or products might charge.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 16
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 12. (continued)
Brokerage Practices
Brokerage for Client Referrals
N/A
Directed Brokerage
Clients have the ability to request a specific broker or dealer to transact securities in their account. In cases where clients make
specific requests, Harvest will defer to that request. In these cases, Harvest will not monitor or negotiate the commission rates,
the value or quality of services, or the benefits that directed brokers offer to clients.
Clients who have directed transactions to a selected broker or dealer will not participate in aggregated orders unless that
particular broker executes the block in its entirety.
Trade Aggregation
Harvest conducts trades on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, Electronic Trading Networks, and Alternative Trading
Networks. In order to reduce transaction expenses, crossing or trading networks may also be used. Client orders may be put
into blocks for execution to reduce the time needed to implement an investment idea and reduce the impact of timing in a
volatile security. Accounts that take part in block trades receive the average prices of the trade(s) and are charged the standard
commission for each individual account. In partial executions of block trades, a prorated distribution of shares to the nearest
round lot is made. In cases of share allocations in less than round lots, Harvest will seek to make those allocations in an
equitable manner. Factors considered in these allocations include the amount of assets in the account, the amount of securities
under consideration, the commission amount relative to the proposed allocation, the account’s overriding investment objectives,
the need for diversification, and the cash on hand for investment.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 17
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 13.
Review of Accounts
Harvest Investment Advisors monitors client accounts on a continual basis with a formal review conducted at least
quarterly. Following each calendar quarter, the firm provides clients a written report for each account managed, which
includes the following information: assets held in the account, including quantity and market value for each; market
value of the discretionary and non-discretionary assets in the account, interest and expense items, and the calculation of
fees for the account. Additional reviews may be provided at the client's request, based on deposits and/or withdrawals
in the account, material changes in the client's financial condition, or at the portfolio manager's discretion. Reviews may
be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
In addition to the written reports discussed above, the custodian holding each client’s assets provides monthly brokerage
statements and confirmations for each security transaction. See Item 15, Custody.
In all cases, accounts are reviewed by the portfolio manager responsible for the account.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 18
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 14.
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Harvest Investment Advisors does not compensate non-advisory personnel (solicitors) for client referrals.
Harvest Investment Advisors does not work with Solicitors.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 19
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 15.
Custody
Harvest Investment Advisors at no time has custody of client funds or securities other than electronically debiting client
accounts for management fees. All client assets are maintained at an independent custodian, such as Charles Schwab, which
issue monthly brokerage statements and confirmations of every security transaction occurring in the account. These statements
should be carefully reviewed by the client to ensure accuracy. Harvest Investment Advisors issues billing statements to clients as
required by jurisdiction.
Custody is disclosed in Form ADV because Harvest Investment Advisors LLC has authority to transfer money from client
account(s), which constitutes a standing letter or authorization (SLOA). Accordingly, Harvest Investment Advisors LLC will
follow the safeguards specified by the SEC rather than undergo an annual audit.
In addition, Harvest Investment Advisors issues quarterly report to clients itemizing portfolio assets and detailing management
fees payable. These reports should be compared to the custodians’ monthly brokerage statements to ensure accuracy of
positions, asset values, and management fees paid.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 20
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 16.
Investment Discretion
Harvest Investment Advisors generally has full discretionary authority over client assets, including which positions are bought
or sold and the amounts of those purchases and sales. Clients have the ability to limit this authority at any time by advising
investment manager in writing. Additionally, the firm’s investment advisory agreement issued to and signed by each client
provides clients the opportunity to create restrictions on securities that can be purchased or investment strategies that can be
employed.
Harvest Investment Advisors will not manage assets except on a discretionary basis.
Harvest’s investment advisory agreement, signed by the client, grants the firm complete discretion in the management of the
investments in the account within the parameters of the client’s investment objectives. This discretion grants authorization to
the investment manager, without the prior consultation or approval of the client, to invest and reinvest the assets in the account,
place brokerage orders, and render decisions as to the nature, amount and timing of transactions in the account, all in
furtherance of the client’s investment objectives.
Additionally, the independent custodian requests the client grant limited power of attorney to Harvest when opening an
advisory brokerage account. This limited power of attorney authorizes Harvest to buy, sell, and trade in stocks, bonds and any
other securities without notice to the client.
ADV PART 2, PAGE 21
HARVEST INVESTMENT ADVISORS, LLC
Item 17.
Voting Client Securities
Harvest Investment Advisors will accept authority to vote proxies for securities held in client accounts. In accounts where
advisor does maintain authority to vote proxies, clients generally do not have the ability to direct a vote in any particular
solicitation.
The investment manager assigned to each client account is responsible for reviewing each proxy proposal. Proposals on routine
items such as elections of directors and selection of auditors generally receive affirmative votes. Proposals which increase
shareholder influence or expand the rights of shareholders also generally are supported. Proposals on non-routine items, such
as mergers, reorganizations, or shareholder resolutions are evaluated in light of their effect on the financial and economic
interests of the client. Votes are executed which are determined to have the most favorable short- and long-term impacts on the
clients. All proposals, regardless of the general guidelines above, are evaluated in the context of recent company performance,
uncertainties in management, or questions as to future direction. Consideration of these factors may result in votes contrary to
general voting guidelines.
In the event that conflicts of interest arise between clients and certain proxy proposals, Harvest will either request the client’s
consent with regard to the firm’s intended vote or request the client to vote the proxy directly.
Harvest Investment Advisors maintains written records of voted proxies. Clients can obtain information on how any specific
security in their account was voted by written request.
Clients can obtain a copy of advisor’s proxy voting policies and procedures upon request.

Financial Information
Harvest Investment Advisors has no financial conditions that are likely to impair the advisor’s ability to manage client assets.
Harvest Investment Advisors does not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in
advance and therefore does not need to include a balance sheet with this brochure.
