Firm Information Invera Wealth Advisors LLC (“Invera Wealth” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Oregon. Invera Wealth is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invera Wealth Holding Company, LLC. Invera Wealth is controlled by Jessica F. Higgins, CFP® (Principal and Financial Advisor) and Shenandoah Sampson, CFP® (Principal, Chief Investment Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer). Invera Wealth was founded in October 2022. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by Invera Wealth. For information regarding this Disclosure Brochure, please contact Shenandoah Sampson, CFP®, the Chief Compliance Officer at (541) 647-1980. B. Advisory Services Offered Invera Wealth offers advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, and small businesses (each referred to as a “Client”). The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate conflicts of interest. Invera Wealth’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading. Wealth Management Services Invera Wealth provides customized wealth management solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary wealth management and related advisory services. Invera Wealth works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to design a portfolio strategy. Invera Wealth will typically construct investment portfolios utilizing individual equities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and individual bonds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize mutual funds and other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor may retain certain legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. Invera Wealth will select, recommend and/or retain mutual funds on a fund-by-fund basis. Due to specific custodial and/or mutual fund company constraints, material tax consideration, and/or systematic investment plans, Invera Wealth will select, recommend and/or retain mutual fund share classes that do not have trading costs when possible. These will in most cases be institutional share classes but, in some cases, may be share classes with higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes. Invera Wealth will seek to select the lowest cost share class available that is in the best interest of each Client weighing the expected investment pattern, expense ratios and potential ticket charges, and will ensure the selection aligns with the Client’s financial objectives and stated investment guidelines. Invera Wealth’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell, or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Invera Wealth will construct, implement, and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. Invera Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Invera Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Invera Wealth may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against the market Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 4 movement. Invera Wealth may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor. Financial Planning Services Invera Wealth will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients. Services may be offered as part of an overall wealth management engagement or contracted separately. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. A financial plan developed for financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. Invera Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For project-based or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Project-based financial plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly. Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for wealth management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Invera Wealth to provide advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more written advisory agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority, and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: • Establishing an Investment Strategy – Invera Wealth, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. • Asset Allocation – Invera Wealth will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client or unique client goal. Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 5 • Portfolio Construction – Invera Wealth will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. • Wealth Management and Supervision – Invera Wealth will provide wealth management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs Invera Wealth does not offer a wrap fee program. E. Rollover Recommendations As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may recommend that you withdraw the assets from your employer's retirement plan and roll the assets over to an individual retirement account ("IRA") that we will manage on your behalf. If you elect to roll the assets to an IRA that is subject to our management, we will charge you an asset-based fee as set forth in the agreement you executed with our firm. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on our behalf have an incentive to recommend a rollover to you for the purpose of generating fee-based compensation rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Moreover, if you do complete the rollover, you are under no obligation to have the assets in an IRA managed by our firm. Many employers permit former employees to keep their retirement assets in their company plan. Also, current employees can sometimes move assets out of their company plan before they retire or change jobs. In determining whether to complete the rollover to an IRA, and to the extent the following options are available, you should consider the costs and benefits of: 1)) Leaving the funds in your employer's (former employer's) plan; 2) moving the funds to a new employer's retirement plan; 3) cashing out and taking a taxable distribution from the plan; and/or 4) rolling the funds into an IRA rollover account. Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages and before making a change we encourage you to speak with your CPA and/or tax attorney. Our recommendations may include any of them, depending on what we feel is in your best interest. We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers 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. As a fiduciary, we are required to document the reason(s) for why the recommendation we made is in your best interest. F. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2024, the Advisor managed $224,657,315 in discretionary assets and $11,399,801 in non- discretionary assets. Total assets under management are $236,057,116. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more written advisory agreements with the Advisor. A. Fees for Advisory Services Wealth Management Services Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Fees range from 1.00% to 2.00% annually based on several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee. Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 6 The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. In certain circumstances, the Advisor may charge a fixed annual fee for its services. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor across all accounts, unless otherwise agreed in writing. All securities held in accounts managed by Invera Wealth will be independently valued by the Custodian. Invera Wealth will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities. Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account[s] at any time, subject to Invera Wealth’s right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that Invera Wealth reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s account[s]. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to Invera Wealth, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, Invera Wealth designs its portfolios as long-term investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a Client’s investment objectives. Invera Wealth may consult with its Clients about the options and ramifications of transferring securities. However, Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e. contingent deferred sales charge) and/or tax ramifications. Financial Planning Services Financial planning services may be included as part of an overall wealth management engagement and fee or contracted separately. Invera Wealth offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or a fixed engagement fee. Hourly fees range up to $300 per hour. Fixed fee engagements are negotiated based on the expected number of hours to complete the engagement as the Advisor’s hourly rate. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services. B. Fee Billing Wealth Management Services Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] in advance of each calendar quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the market value of assets under management as of the end of the prior calendar quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, generally monthly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the wealth management fee. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Invera Wealth to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the wealth management agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include Invera Wealth’s wealth management fee (as noted above) plus wealth management fees and/or platform fees charged by the Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Manager or the Advisor may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s account[s]. In other instances the Advisor and the Independent Manager will each assume the responsibility for calculating and deducting their respective fees from the Client’s account[s]. Financial Planning Services Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s]. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by the Custodian and other third parties in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s], such as wire fees, redemption fees, regulatory transaction fees, or account closure fees.. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may be charged back to the Client. Securities transaction fees charged by an Independent Manager may be charged to the Client based on the manager’s policies. Please see Item 4.D. above. Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 7 The Advisor's recommended Custodian currently does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account[s], provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian may charge for mutual funds and other types of investments. To mitigate any conflicts, Invera Wealth has entered into an agreement with the Custodian to cover any trading costs. Clients may be charged a regulatory transaction fee, which is a transaction fee that the custodian is charged by an exchange or self-regulatory organization. This charge is not covered by the agreement between Invera Wealth and the Custodian. The fees charged by Invera Wealth are separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. In addition, all fees paid to Invera Wealth for wealth management services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of Invera Wealth but would not receive the services provided by Invera Wealth which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Invera Wealth to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. Additionally, as noted above, the Advisor will select share classes that do not have trading costs when possible. These will, in most cases, be institutional share classes but in some cases may be share classes with higher internal expense ratios than institutional share classes. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Wealth Management Services Invera Wealth is compensated for its wealth management services in advance of the quarter in which services are rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination, and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid fees from the effective date of termination through the end of the quarter. The Client’s wealth management agreement with the Advisor is non- transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Financial Planning Services Invera Wealth may be partially compensated for its financial planning services at the start of the engagement. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the contractual hourly rate or in the case of a fixed fee engagement, the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. Upon termination, the Advisor will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid planning fees. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities Invera Wealth does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the wealth management fees noted above. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Invera Wealth does not charge performance-based fees for its wealth management services. The fees charged by Invera Wealth are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 8 Invera Wealth does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients. Item 7 – Types of Clients Invera Wealth offers advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, non- profits, and small businesses. Invera Wealth generally requires a minimum relationship size of $1,000,000, which may be reduced at its sole discretion. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis Invera Wealth primarily employs fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from Invera Wealth are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third-party research materials, professional data subscriptions, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others. Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria generally consists of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Invera Wealth will be able to predict such a reoccurrence accurately. As noted above, Invera Wealth generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. Invera Wealth will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, Invera Wealth may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector, or asset class. B. Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Invera Wealth will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. Please see Item 8.B. for risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies as well as general risks of investing. While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 9 Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk, and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals, or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach: Market Risks The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall financial markets. ETF Risks The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later. Bond ETF Risks Bond ETFs are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks (i.e., the risk that bond prices will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa). The risk depends on two things: the bond’s time to maturity, and the coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e., the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e., the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investors rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e., the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e., the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) liquidity risks, i.e., the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond. Mutual Fund Risks The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily; therefore, a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information There are no legal, regulatory, or disciplinary events involving Invera Wealth or its management persons. Invera Wealth values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 10 Advisor and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 323792. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Not applicable. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics Invera Wealth has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with Invera Wealth (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the Client. Invera Wealth and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of Invera Wealth’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (541) 647- 1980. B. Personal Trading with Material Interest Invera Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Invera Wealth does not act as a principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. Invera Wealth does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients Invera Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by Invera Wealth requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client While Invera Wealth allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward. At no time will Invera Wealth, or any Supervised Person of Invera Wealth, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] Invera Wealth does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 11 Client assets and authorize Invera Wealth to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the wealth management agreement. Further, Invera Wealth does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Where Invera Wealth does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian[s] to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by Invera Wealth. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. Invera Wealth may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, the reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. Invera Wealth will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”). Raymond James is a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and New York Stock Exchange/SIPC member. Raymond James will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. Invera Wealth maintains institutional relationships with Raymond James, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below. Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: Invera Wealth has established an institutional relationship with Raymond James to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. The Raymond James platform includes brokerage, custody, administrative support, record keeping, technology and related services designed to support registered investment advisors like Invera Wealth in serving Clients. These services are intended to serve the best interests of the Advisor’s Clients. Raymond James may charge securities transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions. Raymond James enables the Advisor to obtain certain no-load mutual funds without securities transaction fees and other no- load funds at nominal transaction charges. Raymond James’ transaction fee rates are generally considered discounted from customary retail brokerage rates. However, the transaction fees charged by Raymond James may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers. Please see Item 14 below for additional information. Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. Invera Wealth does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below. 2. Brokerage Referrals - Invera Wealth does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where Invera Wealth will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). Invera Wealth will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian. A Client may pay fees that are higher than another qualified custodian might charge to effect the same transactions. The Advisor has determined in good faith that the fees charged by Raymond James are reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not necessarily the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of the Custodian’s services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, fees, and responsiveness. Accordingly, although the Advisor will seek competitive rates, to the benefit of all Clients, it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible fee rates for specific Client account Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 12 transactions. Although the investment research products and services that may be obtained by the Advisor will generally be used to service all the Advisor’s Clients, they may not equally benefit all Clients. Please also see Item 14 below. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. Invera Wealth will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. Invera Wealth may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre- allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of Invera Wealth. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client. B. Causes for Reviews In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Invera Wealth if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic, or political events. C. Review Reports The Client will receive brokerage statements generally monthly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions, and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Compensation Received by Invera Wealth Invera Wealth is a fee-based advisory firm that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product. Invera Wealth does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker- dealers or any unrelated third party. Invera Wealth may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, Invera Wealth may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties. Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform As noted in item 12, Invera Wealth has established an institutional relationship with Raymond James to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. As part of the arrangement, Raymond James also makes available to the Advisor certain research and brokerage services, including research services obtained by Raymond James directly from independent research companies. The Advisor may also receive additional services and support from Raymond James. As a result of receiving such services, the Advisor may have an incentive to continue to use or Invera Wealth Advisors LLC Mailing Address: 70 SW Century Drive, Suite 100 - PMB 5056, Bend, OR 97702 Phone: (541) 647-1980(541) 647-1980 | Website: https://www.inverawealthadvisors.com/ Page 13 expand the use of Raymond James’ services. The Advisor examined this potential conflict of interest when it chose to enter into the relationship with Raymond James and has determined that the relationship is in the best interests of the Advisor’s Clients and satisfies its Client obligations, including its duty to seek best execution. Please see Item 12 above. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. B. Client Referrals from Solicitors Invera Wealth does not engage paid solicitors for Client referrals. Item 15 – Custody All Clients must place their assets with a “qualified custodian.” Clients are required to engage the Custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct Invera Wealth to utilize that Custodian for the Client’s security transactions. Invera does not maintain physical possession of client cash or securities; however, pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act under the Amended Custody Rule, Invera is deemed to have limited custody of client funds because of (1) its authority from most clients to directly deduct fees from the clients’ custodial accounts, and/or (2) its ability to disburse client funds to a third party as authorized by a standing letter of authorization (SLOA) given by the client Invera is also deemed to have custody when a client establishes certain types of letters of instruction or other asset transfer authorization arrangement with their qualified custodian, authorizing Invera to disburse funds to one or more third parties specifically designated by the client. Invera relies on SEC guidance for firms with this type of custody, and is not subject to a surprise annual audit as Invera confirms it meets the requirements of the 7- step test as established by the SEC, to avoid being subject to a surprise annual audit. The custodians recommended by Invera send a statement to the client, generally on a monthly basis, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of management fees paid directly to Invera. In addition, as discussed in Item 13, Invera may also send periodic performance reports to certain clients. Clients should review statements provided by the Custodian and compare them to any reports provided by Invera Wealth to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. If you ever have a question about an entry on your Invera report(s), please call us immediately. For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Item 16 – Investment Discretion Invera Wealth generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by Invera Wealth. The discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of a wealth management agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Invera Wealth will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities Invera Wealth does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies. However, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.

Neither Invera Wealth, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Invera Wealth is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
