IP Financial Advisory Services LLC (IPFS LLC) is a registered investment advisory firm and is also a licensed Insurance agency.
Our representatives are registered with IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC as investment advisor representative and
may also be licensed insurance agents. IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC and our representatives, acting in capacity
as insurance agents, will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products such as life, health, and long-term
care products. Insurance commissions are separate from our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest where
representatives providing investment advice on behalf of our firm and who are also insurance agents may have an incentive to
recommend insurance products to clients for the purpose of generating commissions. In addition, IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY
SERVICES LLC is a fiduciary and must act in the best interest of clients. Clients are under no obligation, contractually or
otherwise, to purchase insurance products or any other products through IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC.
IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC and our representatives may recommend that clients use a third-party investment
advisor ("TPIA") based on their needs and suitability. Prior to referring clients to third party advisors IP FINANCIAL
ADVISORY SERVICES LLC ensures that the third-party advisors are duly licensed, or notice filed with the Department of
Corporations or other appropriate jurisdictions. IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC and our representatives may
receive compensation from these TPIAs for recommending that clients use their services. This compensation generally takes the
form of the TPIA sharing a percentage of the advisory fee the client pays to them with IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES
LLC and the respective representative.
These compensation arrangements present a conflict of interest because IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC and our
representatives may have a financial incentive to recommend TPIAs that pay fees rather than those that don't. In addition, IP
FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC and our representatives may have a conflict with referring clients to those TPIAs

that pay higher fees over those that pay lower fees. Clients are not obligated, contractually or otherwise, to use the services of any
TPIA that IP FINANCIAL ADVISORY SERVICES LLC or our representatives recommend.
