The Firm's majority owner is Michael Hengehold. HCM Wealth Advisors is a fiduciary and is required to act in a client’s best interest at all times. Individual Portfolio Management: HCM Wealth Advisors provides continuous management to our clients regarding the investment of their funds. Working with the client, we establish an investment policy (stated in the client’s management agreement as a neutral asset allocation target) and create and manage a portfolio based on that policy. During our data-gathering process, we review the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history. We manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. Discretionary means the trading activity with your account is directed by us without receiving prior authorization. Discretion grants Advisor the authority to implement asset allocation changes that may be substantially different than the clients’ neutral allocation target, based on Advisor’s opinion of investment risk and/or opportunity. Clients retain ownership of all securities. Our investment recommendations include, but are not limited to advice regarding the following securities: • Certificates of deposit • Commercial paper • Corporate debt securities • Exchange-listed securities (Stocks and ETFs) • Foreign issuers • Municipal securities • Mutual fund shares • Options contracts on securities • United States government securities • Variable annuities • Warrants Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be utilized when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability. Advisor will, with certain limited exceptions, determine the portfolio holdings to be utilized. HCM Wealth Advisors’ investment style is long-term and should be evaluated over full market cycles. Our Firm provides portfolio management services to clients using model based asset allocation portfolios. Each model portfolio is based on risk and return assumptions developed by reference to long term historical observations that may or may not repeat in the future. Portfolio results should not be considered a predictor of future results. Through discussions with the client, we establish portfolio goals and objectives. We help the client decide which model portfolio is suitable based on the client's circumstances and what customization may be appropriate. Once the suitability of the portfolio has been determined, the portfolio is managed based on the model’s goal, with client specific modifications based on unique cash flow needs. Clients may decline to implement any advice rendered. To confirm that the initial determination of an appropriate portfolio remains suitable and that the account continues to be managed in a manner consistent with the client's financial circumstances, we will: 1. Periodically contact each client to ask if there have been any changes in the client's financial situation or investment objectives, 2. Ask if the client wishes to impose investment restrictions or modify existing restrictions; 3 3. Be available to meet with the client at their convenience. Selection and Monitoring of Third-Party Money Managers and Sub-Advisers: Some clients’ investment portfolios are managed by outside portfolio managers. We select and review outside portfolio managers based on the following factors: cost; investment philosophy; • past performance; • • • market outlook; • experience of portfolio managers and executive team; • opinions of third-party analysts; • disciplinary, legal and regulatory histories of the firm and its associates; • whether established compliance procedures are in place to address at a minimum, insider trading, conflicts of interest, anti-money laundering; • proxy voting policy. We do not calculate portfolio manager performance. Instead, we rely upon the performance figures based on the client’s account statements or reports provided to us by the outside portfolio managers. We do, however, watch out for several types of events in conjunction with poor performance. These events trigger an in-depth review of an outside portfolio manager and primarily include: • Significant changes in asset allocation; • Substantial drift in investment style; and/or • Sustained under-performance. We do not verify the accuracy of such performance information or its compliance with presentation standards. As a result, performance information may not be calculated on a uniform and consistent basis. We can hire or delegate authority to independent third-party investment managers and sub-advisers to manage a portion of our client's portfolio through advisory management services programs and we have the ability to fire independent third-party managers and sub-advisers. In addition, we offer financial planning services, schedule meetings and calls to keep the plan current and monitor changes in your personal situation. These financial planning services are included in the portfolio management services previously described. HCM Wealth Advisors publishes a periodic newsletter at no charge, providing general information on various topics. No specific investment recommendations are provided and the information is not intended to meet the objectives or needs of any individual. Amount Of Managed Assets As of 12/31/2025 we were actively managing $1,230,580,072 of clients' assets on a discretionary basis. Fees and Compensation Item 5 The fee for the Advisory Service is based on the following schedule: SIZE OF ACCOUNT ANNUAL FEE LAYER I $0 to $1,000,000 1.00 % LAYER II $1,000,001 to $5,000,000 .75 % LAYER III OVER $5,000,000 .50 % Existing clients may have a different fee schedule. The fees described above may be for multiple account management services and are based on the total market value of assets under management. Fees are deducted directly from the client's brokerage account at the beginning of each quarter. A pro rata formula is used when establishing a new account in the middle of a quarter. Clients are billed only for the time their assets are under management. We retain the option to negotiate fees and compensation on a client-by-client basis. Factors to consider may include: the complexity of the client’s situation, assets to be placed under management, anticipated future additional assets and related accounts, among other factors. The specific annual fee schedule will be identified in the contract between HCM Wealth Advisors and each client. 4 Discounts may be offered to family members and HCM Wealth Advisors employees. General Information Regarding Fees Termination of the Advisory Relationship: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, for any reason. As disclosed above, certain fees are paid in advance of services provided. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid unearned fees will be promptly refunded. We will pro rate the reimbursement according to the number of days remaining in the billing period. Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to HCM Wealth Advisors for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. A client could invest in a mutual fund or ETF directly, without our services. In that case, the client would not receive the services which may be provided by our Firm which are designed to assist the client with strategic and tactical asset allocation, cash flow planning, financial independence studies, retirement planning services and determining which securities are most appropriate for each client's financial condition and objectives. Clients should review the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the total amount to be paid by the client for the advisory services being provided. Separately Managed Account Fees: Clients participating in separately managed account programs will be charged fees by third-party money managers or sub-advisers, in addition to the advisory fee charged by our Firm. Additional Fees and Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the fees and expenses, if any, charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker dealer responsible for processing transactions for the client's accounts. Please refer to Item 12 Brokerage Practices Section of this Form ADV for additional information. ERISA Accounts: HCM Wealth Advisors is a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act (“ERISA”). As such, our Firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions, HCM Wealth Advisors only charges fees for investment advice and does not accept any commission on revenue or 12b-1 fees for ERISA and Non-ERISA accounts. Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may or may not be available from other registered investment advisers for similar or higher or lower fees. Limited Prepayment of Fees: Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment more than three months in advance of services rendered. Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management HCM Wealth Advisors does not charge performance-based fees and does not engage in side-by-side management. Item 7 Types of Clients HCM Wealth Advisors provides advisory services to the following types of clients: • High net worth individuals • Individuals (other than high net worth individuals) • Trusts • Pension and profit sharing plans • Charitable organizations • Corporations or other businesses not listed above 5 Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis: We use the following methods of analysis in formulating our investment advice and in managing client assets: Fundamental Analysis: We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at economic and financial factors, including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the financial condition and management of the company. These factors help us form an opinion as to whether the security is underpriced, indicating it may be a good time to buy, or overpriced indicating it may be time to sell. Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a potential risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the security. Asset Allocation: Rather than focusing only on security selection, we attempt to identify an appropriate ratio of equity securities, fixed income, alternatives, and cash suitable to the client’s investment goals and risk tolerance. A risk of asset allocation is that the client may not participate in sharp increases in a particular security, industry or market sector. Another risk is that the ratio of equity securities, fixed income, alternatives, and cash will change over time due to movements in the markets and if not corrected, will no longer be appropriate for the client’s stated goals and objectives. We periodically rebalance asset allocations to help reduce the risk that these ratios will drift over time. Technical Analysis: We analyze past market movements and apply that analysis to the present in an attempt to recognize recurring patterns of investor behavior. This analysis is used to help us better understand possible future price movements. Technical analysis does not consider the underlying financial condition of a company. This presents a risk in that a poorly-managed or financially unsound company may underperform regardless of market movement. Quantitative Analysis: We use mathematical models in an attempt to obtain measurements of a company’s quantifiable data, such as the value of a share price or earnings per share, to better understand the potential for changes to that data. A risk in using quantitative analysis is that the models used may be based on assumptions that prove to be incorrect. Qualitative Analysis: We subjectively evaluate non-quantifiable factors such as quality of management, labor relations, and strength of research and development factors not readily subject to measurement, to better understand the potential for changes to share price based on that data. A risk in using qualitative analysis is that our subjective judgment may prove incorrect. Mutual Fund and/or ETF Analysis: We look at the experience and track record of the manager of the mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if that manager, in our opinion, has demonstrated an above average ability to invest over a period of time and in different economic conditions. We also look at the underlying assets in a mutual fund or ETF in an attempt to determine if there is significant overlap in the underlying investments held in another fund in the client’s portfolio. We also monitor the funds or ETFs in an attempt to determine if they are continuing to follow their stated investment strategy. A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as we do not control the underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different funds held by the client may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to the client if that security were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF, which could make the holding less suitable for the client’s portfolio. Risks Relating to All Forms of Analysis: Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities, and other publicly- available sources of information about these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we attempt to be alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or misleading information. 6 Investment Strategies: We use the following strategies in managing client accounts, provided that such strategies are appropriate to the needs of the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizons, among other considerations: Long-Term Core Portfolio Holdings: We purchase core securities with the idea of holding them in the client's account for a year or longer. Typically, we employ this strategy when: • we believe the securities to be currently fairly valued, and/or • we want exposure to a particular asset class over time, regardless of the current projection for this class. A risk in a long-term purchase strategy is that by holding the security for this length of time, we may not take advantages of short-term gains that could be profitable to a client. Moreover, if our views are incorrect, a security may decline sharply in value before we make the decision to sell. Short-Term Tactical Holdings: We may purchase/sell securities because we believe the current cycle or market trend favors that decision. Holding periods for tactical positions may be either short or long term, depending on strength of the underlying trends. Option Writing: We may use options as an investment strategy. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an asset (such as a share of stock) at a specific price on or before a certain date. An option, just like a stock or bond, is a security which may lose value. An option is also a derivative, because it derives its value from an underlying asset. The two types of options are calls and puts: • A call gives a purchaser the right to buy an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. We may buy a call if we believe the stock will increase in value before the option expires. • A put gives a purchaser the right to sell an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. We may buy a put if we believe that the price of the stock will fall before the option expires. We may use options or funds with similar objectives to speculate on the possibility of a price swing. We may also use options to "hedge" a purchase of the underlying security; in other words, we may use an option purchase to limit the potential upside and downside of a security we have purchased for a client portfolio. We more commonly use "covered calls", in which we sell an option on a security a client owns. In this strategy, the client receives a premium for making the option available, and the person purchasing the option has the right to buy the security at an agreed-upon price and date. Risk of Loss: Securities investments are not guaranteed and you may lose money on your investments. We ask that you work with us to help us understand your tolerance for risk. Recommending Securities In certain situations, we recommend investments in selected private placements or hedge funds. These types of investments may present unique risks due to the use of leverage and potential lack of liquidity. In addition, such recommendations may be limited only to those clients that are termed as “Accredited Investors” as defined in Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. These types of investments also have varied and unique fee structures of their own. In the event we receive a portion of the fee charged from a third-party manager, the value of a client’s assets invested with that manager will be removed from the asset based upon which our fees are calculated and billed. Due to the unique and complex nature of these investments, clients will receive a separate disclosure prior to any investments being made. Item 9 Disciplinary Information Our Firm and our employees have no disciplinary events to disclose. Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Neither our Firm nor our employees are engaged in other financial industry activities. An Affiliate of the Firm, HG CPAs LLC (HG) dba HCM CPAs, provides accounting and/or tax preparation services to clients, including clients of HCM Wealth Advisors. All such services shall be performed by HG, in its individual professional capacity, independent of HCM Wealth Advisors, for which services HCM Wealth Advisors shall not receive any portion of the fees charged by HG, referral or otherwise. The members of HG, solely incidental to their respective practices as Certified Public Accountants with HG, 7 may recommend HCM Wealth Advisors’ services to certain clients of HG. No client of HCM Wealth Advisors is under any obligation to use the services of HG. HCM Wealth Advisors’ clients may receive a discount on HG’s services. HCM Wealth Advisors Principal, Michael Hengehold, remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above arrangement and any corresponding perceived conflict of interest such arrangement may create. HCM Wealth Advisors also attempts to mitigate the conflict of interest by requiring employees to acknowledge in the firm’s Code of Ethics, their individual fiduciary duty to the clients of HCM Wealth Advisors, which requires that employees put the interests of clients ahead of their own. Our Firm and our employees have no other industry affiliations. Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Our Firm has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business conduct that we require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal securities laws. HCM Wealth Advisors and our employees owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith toward our clients, and have an obligation to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code of Ethics but to the general principles that guide the Code. Our Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the quarterly review of security transaction reports as well as initial and annual security holdings reports that must be submitted by all of the Firm’s employees. Our code also provides for oversight, enforcement and recordkeeping provisions. Our Code of Ethics includes the Firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-public information. While we do not believe that we have any particular access to non-public information, all employees are reminded that such information may not be used in a personal or professional capacity. A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our advisory clients and prospective clients. You may request a copy by email sent to info@hcmwealthadvisors.com, or by calling us at 513.598.5120. HCM Wealth Advisors and individuals associated with our Firm are prohibited from engaging in principal transactions. Our Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal security transactions, activities and interests of our employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Our Firm and the individuals associated with our Firm may buy or sell securities for their personal accounts identical to or different from those recommended to our clients. In addition, any related person may have an interest or position in a certain security which may also be recommended to a client. HCM Wealth Advisors maintains an account that is owned by Michael Hengehold which represents the Model Portfolio for the Firm’s Dividend Growth Strategy. So that the results of this model may be accurately monitored, it is traded with (at the same time) as client accounts. It is the intent that this account obtains the same results as clients who are invested in the same strategy. We may aggregate our employee trades with client transactions where possible and when compliant with our duty to seek best execution for our clients. In these instances, participating clients will receive an average share price and transaction costs will be shared equally and on a pro-rata basis. In the instances where there is a partial fill of a particular batched order, we will allocate all purchases on a pro-rata basis, with each account paying the average price. Our employee accounts will be included in the pro-rata allocation. As these situations represent conflicts of interest to our clients, we have established the following policies and procedures for implementing our Firm’s Code of Ethics, to ensure our Firm complies with its regulatory obligations and provides our clients and potential clients with full and fair disclosure of such conflicts of interest: 1. No principal or employee of our Firm may put his or her own interest above the interest of an advisory client. 2. No principal or employee of our Firm may buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s) where their decision is a result of information received as a result of his or her employment unless the information is also available to the investing public. 8 3. It is the expressed general policy of our Firm that no person employed by us may purchase or sell any security on our restricted list prior to a transaction being implemented for a Firm wide trade. This prevents such employee from benefiting from the potential for market moving transaction volume placed on behalf of advisory accounts. There are some situations where exceptions are granted. The exceptions to this policy are fully described in our Code Ethics, which is available upon request. 4. We maintain a list of all reportable securities holdings for our Firm and anyone associated with this advisory practice that has access to advisory recommendations ("access person"). These holdings are reviewed on a regular basis by our Firm's Chief Compliance Officer or his designee. 5. We have established procedures for the maintenance of all required books and records. 6. All of our principals and employees must act in accordance with all applicable Federal and State regulations governing registered investment advisory practices. 7. We require delivery and acknowledgement of the Code of Ethics by each supervised person of our Firm. We have established policies requiring the reporting of Code of Ethics violations to our Principal. 8. Any individual who violates any of the above restrictions may be subject to termination. Item 12 Brokerage Practices For discretionary relationships, HCM Wealth Advisors requires clients to provide written authority to determine the custodian to use. HCM Wealth Advisors allows the client to select the Custodian; however, HCM Wealth Advisors generally recommends but does not require that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab Institutional division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab"), a FINRA registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients' assets and to effect trades for their accounts. Although we recommend that clients establish accounts at Schwab, the selection of a custodian is the client's decision. HCM Wealth Advisors is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab provides HCM Wealth Advisors with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers who custody assets at Schwab Institutional, on an unsolicited basis, at no charge. Schwab's brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum investment. For our client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction- related fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts. Schwab’s commission rates applicable to our client accounts were negotiated based on the condition that our clients collectively maintain a total of at least $10 million of their assets in accounts at Schwab. This commitment benefits you because the overall commission rates you pay are lower than they would be otherwise. Effective October 7, 2019, Schwab does not charge transaction fees for online stock and ETF trades, but will still charge transaction fees on other types of security transactions. Schwab’s most recent pricing schedules are available at schwab.com/aspricingguide. In addition to transaction-related fees, Schwab charges you a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into your Schwab account. These fees are in addition to the transaction-related fees or other compensation you pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab execute most trades for your account. We have determined that having Schwab execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors. Schwab Institutional also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit our clients' accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or some substantial number of our client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. Schwab's products and services that assist us in managing and administering our clients' accounts include software and other technology that: 9 1. provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); 2. facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; 3. provide research, pricing and other market data; 4. facilitate payment of our fees from clients' accounts; and 5. assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Schwab Institutional also offers other services intended to help manage our business. These services may include: 1. compliance, legal and business consulting; 2. publications and conferences on practice management; 3. access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers. Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of services rendered to HCM Wealth Advisors. Schwab Institutional may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to our Firm. Schwab Institutional may also provide other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of our personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that clients custody their assets at Schwab, we may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors we consider and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab. This creates a potential conflict of interest. HCM Wealth Advisors will block trades where possible and when advantageous to clients. This blocking of trades permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts, so transaction costs are shared equally and on a pro-rated basis between all accounts included in any such block. HCM Wealth Advisors' block trading policy and procedures are as follows: 1) Transactions for any client account may not be aggregated for execution if the practice is prohibited by or inconsistent with the client's advisory agreement with HCM Wealth Advisors, or our order allocation policy. 2) The trading desk in concert with the portfolio manager must determine that the purchase or sale of the particular security involved is appropriate for the client and consistent with the client's investment objectives and with any investment guidelines or restrictions applicable to the client's account. 3) The portfolio manager must reasonably believe that the order aggregation will benefit and will enable HCM Wealth Advisors to seek best execution for each client participating in the aggregated order. This requires a good faith judgment at the time the order is placed for the execution. It does not mean that the determination made in advance of the transaction must always prove to have been correct in the light of a "20-20 hindsight" perspective. Best execution includes the duty to seek the best quality of execution, considering net price, as well as other factors. 4) If the order cannot be executed in full on the same day, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated pro rata among the participating client accounts in accordance with the initial order ticket or other written statement of allocation. However, adjustments to this pro rata allocation may be made to participating client accounts in accordance with the initial order ticket or other written statement of allocation. 5) HCM Wealth Advisors’ client account records separately reflect, for each account in which the aggregated transaction occurred, the securities which are held by, and bought and sold for that account. 6) Funds and securities for aggregated orders are clearly identified on HCM Wealth Advisors' records and to the broker-dealers or other intermediaries handling the transactions, by the appropriate account numbers for each participating client. 7) No client or account will be favored over another. Please Note: In the event that the client directs us to effect securities transactions for the client's accounts through a specific broker-dealer, the client correspondingly acknowledges that such direction 10 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 us. Item 13 Review of Accounts Underlying securities within Client accounts are monitored continuously; client accounts also are reviewed regularly. Accounts are reviewed in the context of each client's stated investment objectives and guidelines. More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables such as the client's individual circumstances, or the market, political or economic environment. We implement security adjustments when deemed appropriate by our investment committee and address your rebalancing needs at least quarterly and contact you at least annually. Tax harvesting adjustments to your account may be made during times of market volatility. These accounts are reviewed by the Investment Advisors and by the Investment Analysts. In addition to the monthly statements and confirmations of transactions that clients receive from their Custodian, we provide reports and/or electronic access to account summaries for those clients who request these reports. Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation HCM Wealth Advisors does not compensate for client referrals. For accounts of HCM Wealth Advisors’ clients maintained in custody at Schwab, Schwab will not charge the client separately for custody but will receive compensation from HCM Wealth Advisors’ clients in the form of commissions or other transaction-related compensation on securities trades executed through Schwab. Schwab also will receive a fee (generally lower than the applicable commission on trades it executes) for clearance and settlement of trades executed through broker-dealers other than Schwab. Schwab’s fees for trades executed at other broker-dealers are in addition to the other broker-dealer’s fees. Thus, HCM Wealth Advisors may have an incentive to cause trades to be executed through Schwab rather than another broker-dealer. HCM Wealth Advisors nevertheless, acknowledges its duty to seek best execution of trades for client accounts. Effective October 7, 2019, Schwab does not charge transaction fees for online stock and ETF trades, but will still charge transaction fees on other types of security transactions. Schwab’s most recent pricing schedules are available at schwab.com/aspricingguide. Trades for accounts custodied at Schwab may be executed at different times and different prices than trades for accounts that are executed at other broker-dealers, if the client chooses a different broker- dealer. It is our policy not to accept or allow our related persons to accept any form of compensation, including cash, sales awards or other prizes, from a non-client in conjunction with the advisory services we provide to our clients. As part of our employee compensation package, incentive bonuses may be allocated based on successful completion of a variety of goals including new client relationships. Item 15 Custody We previously disclosed in Item 5, the Fees and Compensation Section of this Brochure, that our Firm directly debits advisory fees from client accounts. Because the custodian does not calculate the amount of the fee to be deducted, it is important for clients to carefully review their custodial statements to verify the accuracy of the calculation, among other things. Clients should contact us directly if they believe that there may be an error in their statement. Our clients’ assets are held in custody at Charles Schwab & Company or at the custodian they choose. For a limited number of Client’s employer sponsored 401k Accounts, Clients have granted HCM Wealth Advisors the ability to review those accounts at the Custodian for the purpose of assisting with security selection. We do not handle deposits, withdrawals or deduction of fees from those accounts. Our sole responsibility is to review and select the securities and to place trades based on the Client’s Investment Policy Statement. Because HCM Wealth Advisors has client account passwords, HCM Wealth Advisors is required to have a surprise custody audit. Also, clients may have standing letters of authorization on their accounts. HCM Wealth Advisors has reviewed those relationships and determined that they meet the IAA no action letter seven conditions and do not trigger the surprise custody audit. If any standing letters of authorization do not meet the no action letter requirements, those accounts will be included in the surprise custody audit. 11 Item 16 Investment Discretion Clients hire us to provide discretionary asset management services, in which case we place trades in a client's account without contacting the client prior to each trade to obtain the client's permission. Our discretionary authority includes the ability to do the following without contacting the client: • Determine the security to buy or sell; and/or • Determine the amount of the security to buy or sell Clients give us discretionary authority when they sign a Portfolio Management Agreement with our Firm. Item 17 Voting Client Securities In accordance with its fiduciary duty to clients and Rule 206(4)-6 of the Investment Advisers Act, HCM Wealth Advisors has adopted and implemented written policies and procedures governing the voting of client securities. All proxies that HCM Wealth Advisors receives will be treated in accordance with these policies and procedures. We vote proxies for client accounts, at the request of the client. If the client would like HCM Wealth Advisors to take this responsibility, this preference is indicated in the Portfolio Management Agreement and on the Custodian Application. HCM Wealth Advisors has engaged the services of Broadridge's ProxyEdge platform to vote and maintain records of proxies. The Broadridge open architecture platform allows HCM Wealth Advisors to choose from several different proxy advisory firms to make recommendations on how our firm should vote the proxies. HCM Wealth Advisors has selected "Glass Lewis" as the current advisor, who considers the reputation, experience, and competence of a company's management and board of directors when it evaluates an issuer. Clients may obtain a copy of our complete proxy voting policies and procedures by telephone, email or in writing at the contact information on the front of this document. In addition, our complete proxy voting record is available to our clients. Clients should contact us at the phone number on the front of this document if they have any questions or if they would like to review any of these documents. Item 18 Financial Information HCM Wealth Advisors has no financial circumstances to report and has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time. Privacy Notice To Our Clients.

Explanation of Minimum Requirements for Various Credentials Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) – The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter is a globally respected, graduate-level investment credential established in 1962 and awarded by CFA Institute — the largest global association of investment professionals. There are currently more than 90,000 CFA charterholders working in 135 countries. To earn the CFA charter, candidates must: 1) pass three sequential, six-hour examinations; 2) have at least four years of qualified professional investment experience; 3) join CFA Institute as members; and 4) commit to abide by, and annually reaffirm, their adherence to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct. 16 High Ethical Standards The CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, enforced through an active professional conduct program, require CFA charterholders to: • Place their clients’ interests ahead of their own • Maintain independence and objectivity • Act with integrity • Maintain and improve their professional competence • Disclose conflicts of interest and legal matters Global Recognition Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful candidates report spending an average of 300 hours of study per level). Earning the CFA charter demonstrates mastery of many of the advanced skills needed for investment analysis and decision making in today’s quickly evolving global financial industry. As a result, employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA charterholders—often making the charter a prerequisite for employment. Additionally, regulatory bodies in 19 countries recognize the CFA charter as a proxy for meeting certain licensing requirements, and more than 125 colleges and universities around the world have incorporated a majority of the CFA Program curriculum into their own finance courses. Comprehensive and Current Knowledge The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for investment decision making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every day in the investment profession. The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency with a wide range of fundamental and advanced investment topics, including ethical and professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis, alternative and derivative investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management, and wealth planning. The CFA Program curriculum is updated every year by experts from around the world to ensure that candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and investment and wealth management skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of the profession.
