ITEM 4 – ADVISORY BUSINESS
This document, offered by HUB Investment Partners, discloses information about the investment advisory services
we provide and the manner in which we provide them to you, the client.
We are an investment management and financial planning firm with our main office in Austin, Texas. The Firm
specializes in investment advisory and planning services for retail clients, institutional (including retirement plans)
and school district clients. HUB Investment Partners (formerly known as TCG Advisory Services, LLC until July of
2024) was first established in 2002 and became registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission as an
investment adviser in 2020. HUB Investment Partners was acquired by HUB International Limited in 2021. HIP’s
direct owner is RPW Holdings, LLC, a HUB International company.
‐
We provide investment advisory services to individuals, pension and profit
sharing plans, defined contribution plans,
institutions, trusts, businesses, individual retirement accounts, state and municipal government retirement plans
and public school districts. In designing our services, we consider the client’s financial situation, investment
objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, and other client needs.
For individual clients, HUB Investment Partners also provides financial and retirement planning services.
PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT
We provide portfolio management and retirement/financial planning services to individuals, high net worth
individuals, institutions, state and municipal entities, foundations, trusts and school districts.
For retail clients and high net worth individuals, we provide various portfolio management options that include
varying cash, equity, and fixed income, and alternative allocations. These strategies may include individual
securities, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, closed end funds and private funds, and other forms of
investments dependent on client objectives, risk tolerance, restrictions, and other parameters. We manage the
composition of several firm wide portfolio strategies internally while also providing more customized solutions for
clients as needed to meet client objectives. We provide regular portfolio reviews to ensure client objectives and risk
tolerance are appropriately considered and updated.
For corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, foundations and other institutional accounts we provide the same
services described above along with advising on investment policy statements and other issues that may be unique
to institutional accounts.
For state and municipal entities, we provide similar portfolio management services described above as well as local
policy reviews and other services unique to this client type. We have a special program entitled Managed Asset
Portfolio Program (“MAPP”) in which we advise on invested assets for municipal entities. This is generally a cash
management program subject to the client local policy as well as the Texas Public Funds Investment Act.
We also provide advisory services on defined contribution plans where we act as the advisor on plan investments
and aid the plan sponsor's investment committee in managing options for employees.
HUB Investment Partners investment adviser representatives may utilize a third-party asset manager (“TAMP”) to
allocate either all or certain segments of their clients’ investments. In most cases in which a TAMP is used, HUB
Investment Partners has discretion to determine which TAMP and/or which strategy will be used to manage the
client’s investment, including discretion to change those selections at any time. As a result, these client accounts
are included in our calculation of its regulatory assets under management.
All client types described above have the ability to impose restrictions on certain securities or types of securities.
RETIREMENT AND FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisor Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you
regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the meaning
of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which
are laws governing retirement accounts. We have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.
At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests.
Our retirement and financial planning provides a detailed, written plan designed to assist our clients in achieving
their stated objectives and goals. Our plans address some or all of the following areas:

IARD/CRD No: 307956
HUB Investment Partners
Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
January 2026
• Personal: A review of liquid assets, an analysis of debt and a review of personal savings and spending
patterns.
• Risk Management: An evaluation of the adequacy of a client’s risk management techniques (with respect
to common risks, such as premature death, disability, illness, property loss and/or damage, liability, long
term care and unemployment).
•
‐
Investments: A review of a client’s investments to ensure they are consistent with the client’s risk tolerance
and appropriate in light of the client’s objectives and goals (e.g., time horizon, liquidity and marketability,
rate of return and risk).
• Tax: Assistance in selecting appropriate investments based on tax efficiency.
• Retirement Planning: An evaluation of a client’s current financial situation and retirement plans/needs and
the appropriateness of current investments.
When providing retirement and financial plans, we make general and/or specific product and strategy
recommendations. If we make such recommendations, they will be tailored to meet the objectives, goals and risk
tolerance of that specific client. The client is under no obligation to use our services to implement such
recommendations.
ROBO-ADVISEMENT
We provide clients access to Charles Schwab’s Robo-Advisor platforms, Schwab Intelligent Portfolios (“IIP”). IIP
provides discretionary management through an automated investment advisory service. IIP portfolios consist of a
diversified portfolio of exchange-traded funds and an FDIC-insured cash allocation that is based on the client’s
investment objectives and risk tolerance. Additional information on the IIP platform can be found in the Charles
Schwab (CRD #5393) ADV 2A disclosures. All potential clients should read and fully understand the Charles
Schwab ADV 2A disclosures prior to investing in the IIP platform. Charles Schwab’s IIP will no longer be offering
this service. As of September of 2025, HIP does not have any new IIP accounts and all IIP accounts will be
transitioned by October 31, 2025.
SUB ADVISOR RELATIONSHIPS
HUB Investment Partners may act as a Sub-Advisor to affiliate Registered Investment Advisor(s) to provide,
amongst other things, discretionary model portfolio design and rebalancing services. The affiliate Registered
Investment Advisor(s) will compensate HUB Investment Partners from its fee and does not charge a separate fee
for using HUB Investment Partners. Rather, the affiliate Registered Investment Advisor(s) reduces its
compensation by compensating HUB Investment Partners through its agreed upon compensation and fee billing
structure. In its capacity as Sub-Advisor, HUB Investment Partners has full discretionary authority over the client’s
assets and earns related compensation. The affiliate RIA selects HUB Investment Partners as Sub-Advisor for a
client account only when it is deemed to be in the client’s best interest.
CLIENT ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
HUB Investment Partners provides investment advisory and management services to clients. As of December 31,
2024, HUB Investment Partners reflects $8,979,977,344 in regulatory assets under management.
ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION
RETAIL INVESTMENT ADVISORY ACCOUNTS
We receive an asset management fee based on the value of the assets of each account for which we provide
investment advisory services. The asset management fee may vary based on the nature, size and complexity of
each client’s account and is negotiable.
The asset management fee does not include brokerage commissions, ticket charges, interest charges, exchange
fees, wire transfer fees, or other costs or fees associated with securities transactions or those required by law. As
the client, you may incur charges imposed by other investment managers or sub-advisors, custodial fees, deferred
sales charges, and other transactional fees. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal
management fees, which are disclosed in the fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive
of and in addition to our asset management fee, and we do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and
costs.

Item 12 below further describes the factors that we consider in selecting or recommending broker/dealers for client
transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
ASSET MANAGEMENT FEES
Our standard annual asset management fee schedule for individuals is as follows:
Net Assets
Annual Management Fee
$0.00 - $99,999.99
1.50%
$100,000 - $999,999.99
1.25%
$1,000,000 - $2,999,999.99
1.00%
$3,000,000 - $6,999,999.99
0.75%
$7,000,000 - $9,999,999.99
0.50%
$10,000,000 and over
Negotiated
Asset management fees are typically payable in advance for the following calendar quarter,
unless another period is agreed to. The fees are based on the net asset value of the account on the last day of the
prior period and are a proportionate share of the annual management fee. Typically, asset management fees are
deducted by the custodian of your account(s). Alternate fee
payment arrangements (i.e., payment by check) may
be made. Asset management fees are prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal.
‐
If you open or terminate an account during a calendar quarter, you will be charged a prorated asset management
fee. This is based on the number of days in the period. It is calculated on the first day the account is funded based
on the number of days left in the period. Upon prior thirty (30) day notification of termination of any account, any
prepaid, unearned asset management fees, calculated in the same manner, will be promptly refunded, and any
earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. The procedure set forth in this paragraph also applies if the specified
period is something other than quarterly (i.e., monthly or semiannually).
MAPP FEES
HUB Investment Partners receives a management fee for services provided under the Managed Asset Portfolio
Program. The management fee may be a flat fee or AUM based fee billed in monthly, quarterly, or annual installments
and prorated accordingly. If the fee is AUM based, it is typically 0.1% (10 basis points) for advisory relationships
<$50.0 million. Accounts over $50.0 million and on an AUM based fee agreement are charged under the following
schedule:
Annual Management Fee
Net Assets
$0.00 - $50,000,000
0.10%
$50,000,000.01 - $100,000,000
0.08%
$100,000,000.01 - $150,000,000
0.06%
$150,000,000.01 and over
0.05%
We may negotiate the Management and Performance Fees based on the size, duration and number of the
municipality’s account(s). MAPP also has a reporting only component that may charge a $1,000-$1,500 flat fee per
quarter, depending on the complexity of reporting requirements. For more information on Performance Fees, see
Item 6 of this Brochure.
RETIREMENT AND FINANCIAL PLANNING FEES
Retirement/financial planning services fees may be an hourly rate, a flat fee and/or a percentage of the assets under

management. Retirement/financial planning service fees vary based on the nature, size and complexity of each
client’s account and are negotiable. All fees are agreed to in advance of us entering into an agreement with any
client. Such fees are payable only after the plan has been delivered to the client; however, alternative fee
payment
arrangements may be made.
‐
‐
An agreement for retirement/financial planning services may usually be terminated, for any reason, upon written
notice by either party. Since, however, these are often longer
term contracts negotiated with employers and other
institutions, these contracts may have more restrictive termination provisions. If cancellation occurs, any unearned
fees will be refunded promptly to the client, and any unpaid fees become due and payable as of the date of the
termination.
ROBO-ADVISEMENT FEES
The fees and expenses associated with investments in the Charles Schwab IIP program are explained in detail in
the Charles Schwab (CRD #5393) ADV 2A disclosures and may range up to .10% on an annual basis. Potential
clients should read and fully understand the fee and expense disclosures in the Charles Schwab ADV 2A disclosure
prior to making any investment decisions.
THIRD PARTY ASSET MANAGER FEES
If the investment adviser representative utilizes a TAMP to manage all or any part of the client’s account, the client
will likely be required to enter into a separate agreement with the TAMP. If the TAMP agreement governs the terms
under which the advisory fee will be collected, the TAMPs’ investment management agreement will only specify the
fee that will be deducted by the TAMP. Specifically, if the TAMP collects a unified fee, it will forward the adviser’s
portion of the fee as specified on TAMPs’ investment management agreement with the client to the registered
investment advisor. Alternatively, the investment advisor may deduct the management fee from the client’s account
and forward the TAMP’s portion to the TAMP.
SUB ADVISORY FEES
HUB Investment Partners offers Sub-Advisor investment management investment management services to an
affiliated RIA and earns related compensation. Under the Sub-Advisor relationship, the affiliate RIA invoices the
client, collects the fee and compensates HUB Investment Partners 15 bps of the fee on a quarterly basis. There is
no additional fee charged to the client to utilize HUB Investment Partners as a Sub-Advisor.
ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE BASED FEES AND SIDE BY SIDE MANAGMENT
based fee
HUB Investment Partners has no trading portfolios for individual retail clients that charge a performance
(fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
‐
ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS
We provide portfolio management and retirement/financial planning services to individuals, high net worth
individuals, corporate pension and profit
sharing plans, defined contribution plans, institutions, school districts, state
and municipal entities, foundations, trusts, all considered our advisory clients (“Client” or “Clients”).
‐
ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
ANALYSIS METHODS FOR INDIVIDUAL CLIENT MANAGED ACCOUNTS
We construct client portfolios using a combination that consist primarily of individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, closed-end
funds, mutual funds, and alternative investments (including tender offer funds, interval funds, BDCs, REITs, and
limited partnerships). We manage assets through direct securities purchases and allocations to third party investment
managers via funds, other pooled investment vehicles, and separately managed accounts. Each client’s asset
allocation is tailored to their specific objectives and circumstances.
Our investment approach begins with a comprehensive understanding of each client’s goals, risk tolerance, time
horizon, and income needs. We emphasize a long-term strategy, though we may adopt a short-term approach when
circumstances change.
We use both active and passive management strategies. Our investment team, guided by the Investment Committee,
conducts both quantitative and qualitative reviews to identify robust strategies within each asset class. Investment

manager screening may include reviews of performance, consistency, management structure, experience, scale, and
resources.
ANALYSIS METHODS FOR INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTS
‐
Institutional accounts, where we serve as a non
discretionary advisor, are reviewed and evaluated quarterly. The
securities and their performance are compared to the institution’s investment policy statement. The evaluation
process includes the following:
• Comparing the rate of return for each security (net of investment manager fees and fund expenses) to its
benchmark (peer group universe);
• Determining the progress made in achieving the goals in the investment policy statement;
• Noting deviations from the investment policy;
• Reviewing market and economic conditions;
• Making projections for the coming quarter’s market and economic conditions;
• Preparing recommendations for each fund - hold, remove, or place on the watch list; and
• Recommending new funds to add, if any.
If, based upon the evaluation, we believe that changes are necessary, we take those recommendations to the
institution’s investment committee to vote on the changes. Changes may be to remove a security, to place it on a
watch list (or remove from the watch list) or to add a security.
RISK OF LOSS
Clients should understand that all investment strategies and the investments made when implementing those
investment strategies involve risk of loss and clients should be prepared to bear the loss of assets invested. The
investment performance and the success of any investment strategy or particular investment can never be predicted
or guaranteed, and the value of a client’s investments fluctuates due to market conditions and other factors. The
investment decisions made, and the actions taken for client accounts are subject to various market, liquidity,
currency, economic and political risks, and will not necessarily be profitable. Past performance of client accounts is
not indicative of future performance.
This Brochure does not include every potential risk associated with an investment strategy, or all of the risks
applicable to a particular client account. Rather, it is a general description of the nature and risks of the strategies
and securities and other financial instruments in which client accounts may invest. The following risks may apply to
strategies managed by us:
• Asset Allocation and Rebalancing Risk – The risk that a client accounts may be out of balance with the
target allocation. Any rebalancing of such assets by us may be limited by several factors and, even if
achieved, may have an adverse effect on the performance of the client account’s assets. Asset allocation
strategies do not assure profit or diversification and do not protect against loss.
• Asset Class Risk – Securities in a portfolio may underperform in comparison to the general securities
markets, a particular securities market, or other asset classes.
• Concentration Risk – The increased risk of loss associated with not having a diversified portfolio (i.e.,
client accounts concentrated in a geographic region, industry sector or issuer are more likely to
experience greater loss due to an adverse economic, business or political development affecting the
region, sector or issuer than an account that is diversified and therefore has less overall exposure to a
particular region, sector or issuer).
• Credit/Default Risk – Debt issuers and other counterparties of fixed income securities or instruments may
default on their obligation to pay interest, repay principal, or make a margin payment, or default on any
other obligation. Additionally, the credit quality of securities or instruments may deteriorate (e.g., be
downgraded by ratings agencies), which may impair a security’s or instruments liquidity and decrease its
value.
• Currency Risk – Currencies may be purchased or sold for a client’s portfolio through the use of forward
contracts or other instruments. A client’s portfolio that seeks to trade in foreign currencies may have
limited access to certain currency markets due to a variety of factors including government regulations,
7
IARD/CRD No: 307956
HUB Investment Partners
Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
January 2026
adverse tax treatment, exchange controls, and currency convertibility issues. A client’s portfolio may hold
investments denominated in currencies other than the currency in which the client’s portfolio is
denominated. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, particularly during times of political or economic
unrest or as a result of actions taken by central banks. A change in the exchange rates may produce
significant losses to a client’s portfolio.
• Currency Risk – Currencies may be purchased or sold for a client’s portfolio through the use of forward
contracts or other instruments. A client’s portfolio that seeks to trade in foreign currencies may have limited
access to certain currency markets due to a variety of factors including government regulations, adverse
tax treatment, exchange controls, and currency convertibility issues. A client’s portfolio may hold
investments denominated in currencies other than the currency in which the client’s portfolio is
denominated. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, particularly during times of political or economic
unrest or as a result of actions taken by central banks. A change in the exchange rates may produce
significant losses to a client’s portfolio.
• Cyber Security Risk – With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, a
portfolio is susceptible to operational, information security and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can
result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events and are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to
digital systems, and misappropriating assets or sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing
operational disruption, including the denial-of-service attacks on websites. Cyber security failures or
breaches by a third party service provider and the issuers of securities in which the portfolio invests, have
the ability to cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the
inability to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties,
reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs,
including the cost to prevent cyber incidents.
• Data Processes Incorporating Artificial Intelligence Risk – We use artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools to
assist with data gathering and consolidation. While these tools improve efficiency, they present risks
including data accuracy, bias and limitations of algorithms selecting source data, increased exposure to
data breaches due to use of external platforms, and changes to the standards and regulations of AI
platforms. We do not use AI to make investment recommendations or decisions. We apply human
oversight, data validation checks and security measures to mitigate these risks, but they cannot be
eliminated entirely.
• Emerging Markets Risk – Investments in emerging markets may be subject to a greater risk of loss than
investments in more developed markets, as they are more likely to experience inflation risk, political turmoil
and rapid changes in economic conditions. Investing in the securities of emerging markets involves certain
considerations not typically associated with investing in more developed markets, including but not limited
to, the small size of such securities markets and the low volume of trading (possibly resulting in potential
lack of liquidity and in price volatility), political risks of emerging markets which may include unstable
governments, government intervention in securities or currency markets, nationalization, restrictions on
foreign ownership and investment, laws preventing repatriation of assets and legal systems that do not
adequately protect property rights. Further, emerging markets may be adversely affected by changes to the
economic health of certain key trading partners, such as the U.S., regional and global conflicts and terrorism
and war. Emerging markets often have less uniformity in accounting and reporting requirements, unreliable
securities valuation and greater risk associated with custody of securities
• Environmental Risks – The risk of loss as a result of statutes, rules and regulations relating to environmental
protection negatively impacting the business of the issuers.
• Equity Risks – The market price of securities owned by clients may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or
unpredictably. The equity securities in clients’ portfolios may decline in value due to factors affecting equity
securities markets generally or the energy sector. The values of equity securities may decline due to general
market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived
adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest
or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. They may also decline due to factors which affect
a particular industry or industries, including the basic minerals sector, such as labor shortages or increased
production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Other risks of investing globally in equity
securities may include changes in currency exchange rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation of
assets or nationalization, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments, and difficulty in
obtaining and enforcing judgments against non-U.S. entities. In addition, securities which we believe are
8
IARD/CRD No: 307956
HUB Investment Partners
Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
January 2026
fundamentally undervalued or incorrectly valued may not ultimately be valued in the capital markets at
prices and/or within the time frame we anticipate. As a result, clients may lose all or substantially all of their
investments in any particular instance.
• Fixed Income Securities – We may invest client assets in bonds or other fixed income securities of issuers
including, without limitation, bonds, notes and debentures issued by corporations, debt securities and
commercial paper. Fixed income securities pay fixed, variable or floating rates of interest. The value of fixed
income securities in which we invest will change in response to fluctuations in interest rates. In addition,
the value of certain fixed income securities can fluctuate in response to perceptions of creditworthiness,
political stability or soundness of economic policies. Fixed income securities are subject to the risk of the
issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations (i.e., credit risk) and are subject
to price volatility due to such factors as interest rate sensitivity, market perception of the creditworthiness
of the issuer and general market liquidity (i.e., market risk).
• General Economic and Market Conditions – The success of our activities is affected by general economic
and market conditions, such as changes in interest rates, availability of credit and debt-related issues,
inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws (including laws relating to taxation of client
investments), trade barriers, unemployment rates, release of economic data, currency exchange controls
and national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts, pandemics, natural
disasters, security operations, the European debt crisis or the U.S. budget negotiations). These factors may
affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of client investments. Volatility and/or
illiquidity could impair profitability or result in losses. Clients could incur material losses even if we react
quickly to difficult market or economic conditions, and there can be no assurance that clients will not suffer
material losses and other adverse effects from broad and rapid changes in economic and market conditions
in the future. Clients should realize that markets for the financial instruments in which we invest client assets
can correlate strongly with each other at times or in ways that are difficult for us to predict. Even a well-
analyzed approach may not protect clients from significant losses under certain market conditions.
• Highly Volatile Markets – The prices of financial instruments in which we may invest client assets can be
highly volatile. Price movements of the financial instruments in which client assets are invested are
influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal,
monetary and exchange control programs and policies of governments, and national and international
political and economic events and policies. Clients are subject to the risk of failure of any of the exchanges
on which their positions trade or of their clearinghouses. In addition, governments from time to time
intervene in certain markets, directly and by regulation, particularly in currencies, futures and options. Such
intervention is often intended to directly influence prices and may, together with other factors, cause some
or all of these markets to move rapidly in the same direction. The effect of such intervention is often
heightened by a group of governments acting in concert.
•
Illiquid Investments – Under certain market conditions, such as during volatile markets or when trading in
an interest or market is otherwise impaired, the liquidity of client investments may be reduced. In addition,
a client may from time to time hold large positions with respect to a specific type of investment, which may
reduce the client’s liquidity. During such times, the client may be unable to dispose of certain assets, which
would adversely affect the client’s ability to rebalance its portfolio or to meet withdrawal requests. In
addition, such circumstances may force the client to dispose of assets at reduced prices, thereby adversely
affecting the client’s performance. If there are other market participants seeking to dispose of similar assets
at the same time, the client may be unable to sell such assets or prevent losses relating to such assets.
Furthermore, if a client incurs substantial trading losses, the need for liquidity could rise sharply while its
access to liquidity could be impaired. In conjunction with a market downturn, the client’s counterparties
could incur losses of their own, thereby weakening their financial condition and increasing the client’s credit
risk to them. Many non-U.S. financial markets are not as developed or as efficient as those in the U.S., and
as a result, liquidity may be reduced for client investments.
•
Income Risk – A client’s portfolio income may decline when interest rates decrease. During periods of falling
interest rates an issuer may be able to repay principal prior to the security’s maturity (“prepayment”),
causing the client’s portfolio to have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield, resulting in a decline in the
client’s portfolio income.
•
Interest Rate Risk – When interest rates increase, fixed income securities or instruments will generally
decline in value. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility
because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments.

Investment and Trading Risks Generally – All investments risk the loss of capital. No guarantee or
representation is or can be made that our investment program will be successful. Our investment program
may involve, without limitation, risks associated with limited diversification, short-selling, commodity interest
trading, equity risks, distressed issuers, interest rates, volatility, tracking risks in hedged positions, security
borrowing risks in short sales, credit deterioration or default risks, systems risks and other risks inherent in
our activities. Certain investment techniques may, in certain circumstances, substantially increase the
impact of adverse market movements to which our clients may be subject. In addition, client investments
may be materially affected by conditions in the financial markets and U.S. and worldwide economic
conditions. Our methods of minimizing such risks may not accurately predict future risk exposures. Risk
management techniques are based in part on the observation of historical market behavior, which may not
predict market divergences that are larger than historical indicators. Also, information used to manage risks
may not be accurate, complete or current, and such information may be misinterpreted.
•
Investment Style Risk – Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor depending upon market
and economic conditions and investor sentiment. Client portfolios may outperform or underperform other
client portfolios that invest in similar asset classes but employ different investment styles.
• Large-Cap Company Risk – Larger, more established companies may be unable to attain the high growth
rates of successful, smaller companies during periods of economic expansion.
• Leveraging Risk – Certain client transactions, including futures contracts and short positions in financial
instruments, may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage can magnify the effects of changes in the value
of the client’s investments and make the client’s portfolio more volatile. Leverage creates a risk of loss of
value on a larger pool of assets than the client would otherwise have had, potentially resulting in the loss
of all assets. The client may also have to sell assets at inopportune times to satisfy its obligations in
connection with such transactions.
• Limited Diversification and Risk Management Failures – At any given time, client assets may not be
diversified to any material extent and, as a result, clients could experience significant losses if general
economic conditions, and, in particular, those relevant to the issuers whose securities are owned by our
clients (i.e., REIT-related securities), decline. In addition, client portfolios could become significantly
concentrated in a limited number of issuers, types of financial instruments, industries, strategies, countries,
or geographic regions, and any such concentration of risk may increase losses suffered by clients. This
limited diversity could expose clients to losses disproportionate to market movements in general. Other
investment funds pursue similar strategies, which creates the risk that many funds may be forced to
liquidate positions at the same time, reducing liquidity, increasing volatility, and exacerbating losses.
Although we attempt to identify, monitor, and manage significant risks, these efforts do not take all risks
into account and there can be no assurance that these efforts will be effective. Many risk management
techniques are based on observed historical market behavior, but future market behavior may be entirely
different. Any inadequacy or failure in our risk management efforts could result in material losses for clients.
• Liquidity Risk – The risk that a client may not be able to monetize investments and may have to hold to
maturity or may also only be able to obtain a lower price for investments either because those investments
have become less liquid or illiquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions.
Investments that are illiquid or that trade in lower volumes may be more difficult to value.
• Low Trading Volume Risk – The risk that a client may not be able to monetize his/her investment or will
have to do so at a loss as a result of generally lower trading volumes of the securities compared to other
types of securities or financial instruments.
• Management and Strategy Risk – The value of a client’s investment depends on our judgment about the
quality, relative yield, value, or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector or region, which
may prove to be incorrect. Investment strategies employed by us in selecting investments for a client may
not result in an increase in the value of the client’s investment or in overall performance equal to other
investments.
• Municipal Securities Risk – Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political or economic
changes, as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, changes in interest rates,
relative lack of information about certain issuers of municipal securities, legislative changes, or the rights
of municipal security holders. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific
project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the inability to collect revenues for the project or
from the assets.

• Non-U.S. Investments – We might periodically invest client assets in financial instruments of non-U.S.
corporations and governments. Investing in the financial instruments of companies (and, from time to time,
governments) outside of the United States involves certain considerations not usually associated with
investing in financial instruments of U.S. companies or the U.S. government, including political and
economic considerations, such as greater risks of expropriation, nationalization, confiscatory taxation,
imposition of withholding or other taxes on interest, dividends, capital gains or other income, limitations on
the removal of assets and general social, political and economic instability; the relatively small size of the
securities markets in such countries and the low volume of trading, resulting in potential lack of liquidity and
in price volatility; the evolving and unsophisticated laws and regulations applicable to the securities and
financial services industries of certain countries; fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies
and costs associated with currency conversion; and certain government policies that may restrict
investment opportunities. In addition, accounting and financial reporting standards that prevail outside of
the U.S. generally are not as high as U.S. standards and, consequently, less information is typically
available concerning companies located outside of the U.S. than for those located in the U.S. As a result,
we may be unable to structure client transactions to achieve the intended results or to mitigate all risks
associated with such markets. It may also be difficult to enforce our clients’ rights in such markets. For
example, financial instruments traded on non-U.S. exchanges and the non-U.S. persons that trade these
instruments are not subject to the jurisdiction of the SEC or the CFTC or the securities and commodities
laws and regulations of the U.S. Accordingly, the protections accorded to clients under such laws and
regulations are unavailable for transactions on foreign exchanges and with foreign counterparties.
• Robo-Advisement Risk – Typically investment decisions under robo-advisers are made using a computer
algorithm based on information previously provided by the client. Different robo-advisers have varying levels
of human interaction to their clients ranging from direct investment advice to the client with limited, if any,
direct human interaction to use of an interactive platform to generate an investment plan that is discussed
and refined with the client. Regardless of the level of human interaction there are inherent risks involved
with robo-advisers including, but not limited to, the algorithm might rebalance client accounts without regard
to market conditions or on a more frequent basis than the client might expect, the algorithm may not address
prolonged changes in market conditions, and the algorithm may not be designed to consider other factors
such as individual tax circumstances. Specific risk factors associated with the Charles Schwab IIP platform
is discussed in additional detail in the Charles Schwab (CRD #5393) ADV 2A disclosures.
• Small-Cap and Mid-Cap Company Risk – The securities of small-capitalization and mid-capitalization
companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements and may have lower trading
volumes or more erratic trading than securities of larger, more established companies or market averages
in general. In addition, such companies typically are more likely to be adversely affected than large
capitalization companies by changes in earning results, business prospects, investor expectations or poor
economic or market conditions.
• Terrorist Attacks, War and Natural Disasters – Terrorist activities, anti-terrorist efforts, armed conflicts
involving the United States or its interests abroad and natural disasters may adversely affect the United
States, its financial markets and global economies and markets and could prevent us and our clients from
meeting their respective investment objectives and other obligations. The potential for future terrorist
attacks, the national and international response to terrorist attacks, acts of war or hostility, domestic
insurrections, civil unrest, natural disasters and other recent events such as pandemics, epidemics, and
other outbreaks of infectious diseases, have created many economic and political uncertainties, which may
adversely affect the United States and world financial markets and our clients for the short or long-term in
ways that cannot presently be predicted.
• Underperformance Risk – The risk that the strategy may underperform the underlying investments due to
reasons such as the capped feature of one or more investments and the fact that such structured
investments do not receive dividends.
ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Registered investment advisors are required to disclose material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events

where we believe that it is appropriate and, in the client’s, best interest to use those services. TCG Administrators is
only administrator and does not sell any investment products. TCG Administrators has engaged its auditor to
a fee
perform an internal controls report (SSAE 18) that complies with Rule 206(4)-2(a)(6)(A) which contains an opinion
of an independent public accountant as to the control objectives relating to custodial services, including the
safeguarding of funds and securities held by either HUB Investment Partners or a related person on behalf of
advisory clients. The relationship or arrangement may create a conflict of interest with clients as HUB Investment

individual to HIP for investment advisory services, and will earn related compensation if the individual elects to
engage HIP for investment advisory services. The compensation paid to the Financial Coach does not increase
the fees paid by the client; however it presents a conflict of interest in that the Financial Coach is financially
incentivized to make a referral based on the related compensation and HUB Investment Partners will receive
additional compensation due to increased assets under management. .

ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS PARTICIPATION OR INTERST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND
PERSONAL TRADING
We have adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm describing our standard of business
conduct and fiduciary duty to our clients. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of
client information and a prohibition on insider trading, among other things. All supervised persons must
acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended. You may request a copy of our Code of
Ethics by contacting our Chief Compliance Officer listed on the cover of this Brochure.
PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
We anticipate that, in appropriate circumstances and consistent with clients’ investment objectives, we will
recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which we, our
affiliates and/or our clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. Our employees and persons associated
with us are required to follow our Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers,
directors and employees of HUB Investment Partners and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities
which are recommended to and/or purchased for our clients.
We designed the Code of Ethics to ensure that the personal securities 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. Under the Code certain
classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that these would
not materially interfere with the best interest of our clients. In addition, the Code requires pre
clearance of many
transactions, and limits trading in close proximity to client trading activity.
‐
Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same
securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security
held by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably
prevent conflicts of interest between us and our clients.
ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES
We do not receive any soft dollar benefits from broker/dealers for placing trades through such broker/dealer. We
do not have any directed brokerage agreements. We recommend broker/dealers with whom we have an approved
selling agreement and who, in our opinion, are able to provide the best price and execution. The Firm may evaluate
broker/dealers on a variety of factors: the ability to achieve prompt and reliable executions; the executed trades are
done at favorable prices; the operational efficiency with which the broker/dealer executes the transactions; the
financial strength, integrity and stability of the broker/dealer; and the competitiveness of commission rates in
comparison with other brokers satisfying our other selection criteria.
TRADE ORDER PRACTICES
Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated basis when
consistent with our obligation of best execution. In such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share
commission costs equally and receive securities at a total average price. We retain records of the trade order
(specifying each participating account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to the entry of the aggregated
order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated
13
IARD/CRD No: 307956
HUB Investment Partners
Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
January 2026
on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained on the order.
AGGREGATING TRADES
We do aggregate trades when possible. This is primarily done on large model changes where we need clients to
all receive the same pricing. It is done on a best-efforts basis from day to day for individual account rebalances.
However, it is not always completed due to the nature of the trading desk and advisors sending in client trades at
various times and in different models and securities.
CROSS SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
It is our policy that the Firm will not affect any principal or agency cross securities transactions for client accounts,
unless pre-approved per our compliance manual. We will also not make cross trades between client accounts,
unless pre-approved per our compliance manual. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where
an advisor, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker/dealer, buys from or sells
any security to any advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to have occurred if a security is
crossed between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account. An agency cross transaction is defined as a
transaction where a person acts as an investment advisor in relation to a transaction in which the investment
advisor, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment advisor, acts as broker for both
the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise
where an advisor is dually registered as a broker/dealer or has an affiliated broker/dealer. HUB Investment Partners
does not have such arrangement.
BLOCK TRADING POLICY
The majority of trades implemented by us are completed on an individual basis. In cases when we need to
implement buys or sells of the same security for numerous accounts, we may elect to purchase or sell such
securities at approximately the same time as a block trade. This process is also referred to as aggregating orders
and batch trading and is used by our Firm when we believe such action may prove advantageous to clients. If we
aggregate client orders, allocating securities among client accounts is done on a fair and equitable basis. The
process of aggregating client orders is done to achieve better execution across client accounts. We may also do it
to achieve more favorable commission rates or allocate orders among clients more equitably to avoid differences
in prices and transaction fees or other transaction costs that might be obtained when orders are placed
independently. We use the pro rata allocation method for transaction allocation. Under this procedure, pro rata trade
allocation means an allocation of the trade is issued among applicable advisory clients in amounts that are
proportional to the participating advisory client’s intended investment. We will calculate the pro rata share of each
transaction included in a block order and assign the appropriate number of shares for each allocated transaction
executed for the client’s account. This process is executed on a per-custodian basis. For example, all accounts held
at Charles Schwab by us would receive the average price of all shares block traded at Charles Schwab by us. It is
possible that clients at different custodians receive different average prices for block trades executed on the same
trading day. If we determine to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities, including securities in
which our employees may invest. In that case, we will do so in accordance with the parameters outlined in the SEC
No-Action Letter, SMC Capital, Inc. Neither we nor our employees receive any additional compensation because
of block trades.
RESEARCH AND OTHER SOFT-DOLLAR BENEFITS
While HUB Investment Partners has no formal soft dollars program in which soft dollars are used to pay for third
party services, HUB Investment Partners may receive research, products, or other services from custodians and
broker-dealers in connection with client securities transactions (“soft dollar benefits”).
There can be no assurance that any particular client will benefit from soft dollar research, whether or not the client’s
transactions paid for it, and HUB Investment Partners does not seek to allocate benefits to client accounts
proportionate to any soft dollar credits generated by the accounts. HUB Investment Partners benefits by not having
to produce or pay for the research, products or services, and HUB Investment Partners will have an incentive to
recommend a broker-dealer based on receiving research or services. Clients should be aware that HUB Investment
Partners’ acceptance of soft dollar benefits may result in higher commissions charged to the client.
Many broker/dealers offer research services. This is an additional component in our choosing with which
broker/dealers to enter into a selling arrangement. We look at the quality, comprehensiveness and frequency of
such research services to determine who we select as broker/dealers for our managed account program. The
research services that these broker/dealers provide supplements the other tools that we use to analyze the
securities that we recommend.

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab") offers certain services to independent investment advisors services which
includes custody of securities, trade execution, clearance, and settlement of transactions. We receive some benefits
from Schwab by using them as the custodian.
ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Under current securities law we are required to periodically review client accounts. Such accounts are periodically
reviewed by the Investment Advisor Representative Supervisor and/or designee.
MANAGED ACCOUNTS
Managed accounts are reviewed on a regular basis by appropriate supervisory personnel. We review and evaluate
each account’s performance on a quarterly basis and review each account’s portfolio and individual investments.
For investment management accounts, we require that each account be reviewed annually and most accounts are
reviewed quarterly. The nature and frequency of the reports to clients are determined primarily by the particular
needs of each client. Generally, we provide quarterly reports detailing the individual assets and performance of the
managed portfolio, unless the client requests information on a more frequent basis, to supplement the reports from
the custodian.
INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTS
For institutional clients, reviews are made by appropriate supervisory personnel. These individuals conduct client
portfolio reviews on a quarterly basis. Performance is measured and evaluated. Each client is expected to complete
an investment policy statement outlining the investment objectives, expectations, and guidelines. This investment
policy statement then serves as the benchmark, providing investment guidance to the client. Allocations are
reviewed against the investment policy statement to insure compliance within the framework of the client’s stated
objectives.
ACCOUNTS WITH OUTSIDE MANAGERS
When outside professional managers are used in an account, the following evaluation process will be followed:
1. Measure rates of return for each fund net of investment manager fees and all fund expenses relative to a
peer group universe (benchmark) and other relevant market indices on a quarterly basis;
2. Determine progress towards achieving stated objectives in the investment policy statement—the primary
goal is to fulfill the values and goals as outlined;
3. Review fund characteristics including duration of manager with the fund, fund objective, style and
description of fund performance.
4. Provide comments and observations as it relates to funds investment objectives, style and performance.
Note deviations from stated policy, objectives and/or style. Note also any change in key personnel (fund
manager or research team);
5. Make recommendations for each fund (Hold
Remove
Watch List);
6. Recommend any new funds (if applicable) on a quarterly basis; and
‐
‐
7. Provide market and economic summary comments from the prior quarter and accompany it with as a
forecast for the coming period.
If we believe that an allocation change is appropriate based on its account review, we will promptly advise the client
and make recommendations to effect such changes. To supplement the reports from the custodian, we generally
provide clients with a quarterly review of their accounts, unless the client requests reviews on a more frequent basis.

ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
HUB Investment Partners receives client referrals from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) through HUB
Investment Partners participation in Schwab Advisor Network® (“the Service”). The Service is designed to help
investors find an independent investment advisor. Schwab is a broker-dealer independent of and unaffiliated with
HUB Investment Partners. HUB Investment Partners pays Schwab fees to receive client referrals through the
Service (“Participation Fee”). HUB Investment Partners participation in the Service raises potential conflicts of
interest described below.
HUB Investment Partners pays Schwab a Participation Fee on all referred clients’ accounts that are maintained in
custody at Schwab and a separate one-time Transfer Fee on all accounts that are transferred to another custodian.
The Transfer Fee creates a conflict of interest that encourages HUB Investment Partners to recommend that client
accounts be held in custody at Schwab. The Participation Fee paid by HUB Investment Partners is a percentage of
the value of the assets in the client’s account. HUB Investment Partners pays Schwab the Participation Fee for so
long as the referred client’s account remains in custody at Schwab. The Participation Fee and any Transfer fee is
paid by HUB Investment Partners and not by the client. HUB Investment Partners has agreed not to charge clients
referred through the Service fees or costs greater than the fees or costs HUB Investment Partners charges clients
with similar portfolios who were not referred through the Service.
The Participation and Transfer Fees are based on assets in accounts of clients who were referred by Schwab and
those referred clients’ family members living in the same household. Thus, HUB Investment Partners has incentives
to recommend that client accounts and household members of clients referred through the Service maintain custody
of their accounts at Schwab.
HUB Investment Partners may pay referral fees to independent and/or affiliated promoter/solicitors for the referral
of their clients to our firm in accordance with SEC regulations. Such referral fee represents a share of our investment
advisory fee charged to our clients. This arrangement will not result in higher costs to you. In this regard, we maintain
Promoter/Solicitors Agreements in compliance with SEC regulations. All clients referred by independent
promoter/solicitors to our firm will be given full written disclosure describing the terms and fee arrangements
between our firm and promoter/solicitor(s). In cases where state law requires licensure of promoter/solicitors, we
ensure that no solicitation fees are paid unless the promoter/solicitor is registered according to such state law
requirements. If we are paying solicitation fees to another registered investment adviser, the licensure of individuals
is the other firm’s responsibility. Similarly, HUB Investment Partners also may act as a referring agent to and receive
referral fees from independent registered investment advisers according to applicable state and federal law.
HUB Investment Partners also receives client referrals from certain of our affiliates, including employees of HUB
International Limited (“HUB”), Financial Coaches of RPW Solutions, and employees of other divisions. In these
situations, we compensate the referring affiliate for the referral. Actual payment is dictated by the role of the
referring affiliate and internal organizational compensation policies and agreements. The compensation paid to
Financial Coaches of RPW Solutions for client referral to HIP is a percentage of the first year revenue earned on
the referred client assets. This presents a conflict of interest in that the Financial Coach is financially incentivized
to refer the client to HIP for investment advisory services based on the related compensation. The financial
incentive compensation paid to Financial Coaches does not increase the client fees. Similarly, we and/or our
16
IARD/CRD No: 307956
HUB Investment Partners
Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
January 2026
employees may receive internal compensation for referring prospective or current clients to affiliated HUB
businesses. In these situations, referral compensation is paid by our affiliates out of their own assets and is not
paid directly by the client. Clients will not be charged additional fees beyond our fees for the services provided by
our affiliates. The amount of the referral credit could be calculated as a percent of the fees to be received in the
referred client agreement over a specified period after the referral or as a flat fee. Such compensation policies are
structured to mitigate conflicts of interest and to comply with applicable law, including regulations and guidance
applicable to client portfolios subject to ERISA and the applicable securities laws and regulations.
TCG Administrators currently provides direct or indirect compensation as a corporate partner and sponsor to various
associations for administrators, superintendents and various other state and local educational and governmental
organizations and associations. HUB Investment Partners may receive client referrals from these relationships
From time to time, we may receive expense reimbursement for travel and/or marketing expenses from distributors
of investment and/or insurance products. Travel expense reimbursements are typically a result of attendance at
due diligence and/or investment training events hosted by product sponsors. Marketing expense reimbursements
are typically the result of informal expense sharing arrangements in which product sponsors may underwrite costs
incurred for marketing such as advertising, publishing and seminar expenses. Although receipt of these travel and
marketing expense reimbursements are not predicated upon specific sales quotas, the product sponsor
reimbursements are typically made by those sponsors for whom sales have been made or it is anticipated sales
will be made.
IARs endeavor at all times to put the interest of our clients first as a part of their fiduciary duty. However, you
should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation through expense reimbursements creates a conflict
of interest that may impact the judgment of the IARs when making advisory recommendations.
ITEM 15 – CUSTODY
INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS
HUB Investment Partners does not have, nor is it deemed to have, custody of the assets of individual clients under
the Custody Rule because we do not hold, directly or indirectly, a client’s funds or securities, nor do we have the
authority to obtain possession of them. Further, all individual client accounts are maintained by unaffiliated qualified
custodians as defined under the Custody Rule.
INSTITUTIONAL ACCOUNTS
For institutional Clients that we provide only investment advisory services, we do not have, nor are we deemed to
have, custody of a client’s assets under the Custody Rule because we do not hold directly or indirectly, a client’s
funds or securities, nor do we have the authority to obtain possession of them. Such client funds or securities are
maintained by unaffiliated qualified custodians as defined under the Custody Rule.
For Clients that we act as the investment adviser and our affiliate, TCG Administrators, serves as the third party
administrator, we are deemed to have custody of such Clients’ funds and securities because TCG Administrators
have the ability to (a) deduct fees from these client accounts and/or (b) cause a qualified custodian holding client
assets to liquidate securities and distribute funds to a plan participant pursuant to a written request by such plan
participant (or the plan sponsor on behalf of such plan participant). TCG Administrators engage an independent
public accountant to conduct a Surprise Exam on an annual basis, which includes a review of the accounts at each
qualified custodian.
In situations in which TCG Administrators has custody or is deemed to have custody, TCG Administrators has
developed and implemented internal controls designed to protect our clients’ assets, including dual authorization
requirements for redemptions in and transfers from a client account.
ACCOUNT STATEMENTS
Clients will receive account statements from the appropriate qualified custodians. Clients should carefully review
those statements and clients are urged to compare the accounts statements received from the qualified custodians
with those they receive from us.

ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION
We usually receive discretionary authority from our clients at the outset of an advisory relationship to select the
identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. Such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent
with the stated investment objectives for the particular client account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts to be invested in specific securities or sectors, we observe the
investment policies, limitations, and restrictions of the clients for which the advice applies.
ITEM 17 – VOTING YOUR SECURITIES
As a matter of firm policy and practice, we do not vote proxies on behalf of advisory clients. Clients retain the
responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained in client portfolios. We provide
advice to clients regarding the clients’ voting of proxies.
ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION
We do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in advisory fees six months or more in advance. We
have no financial commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to our clients
and have not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
