Client Advisory Services
a. Non-Discretionary Advisory Services
JSAM offers non-discretionary Advisory Services to clients generally referred by Safra National Bank of New York as
disclosed in Item
14 (“Client Referrals and Other Compensation”) of this Brochure. JSAM provides ongoing recommendations to clients by
identifying potential investments, based on and tailored to each client’s individual needs. Recommendations may include
private funds (hedge funds), mutual funds, fixed income instruments, equities and derivatives, as well as any other invest-
ment that JSAM may deem suitable for the client.
Clients are responsible for approving the investments presented by JSAM, as well as the allocation, if any, to cash, and for
implementing selected investments with their custodian. JSAM will not have discretionary authority to make investment
decisions or to execute the transactions for clients without the client’s consent. JSAM receives from its clients an advisory
fee.
b. Discretionary Advisory Services
JSAM offers discretionary advisory services to clients generally referred by Safra National Bank of New York as disclosed in
Item 14 (“Client Referrals and Other Compensation”) of this Brochure. Upon execution and acceptance of a JSAM Discretion-
ary Investment Agreement, JSAM implements the investment strategies based on and tailored to that client’s individual
needs. Generally, JSAM serves as the sole investment adviser and in some cases, it can utilize model providers or third-party
advisors. JSAM receives from its client an advisory fee, fees to model providers and third-party advisors are charged sepa-
rately.
c. Fund Investment Management Services
JSAM serves as the investment manager to private equity funds, long-only hedge funds as well as private fund-of-one struc-
tures. JSAM clients may be advised to invest in those vehicles. In addition to the advisory fees, JSAM receives from the fund
a management fee.
d. Managed Account Services
JSAM offers model portfolio investment strategies to clients either as a sole investment product or in various combinations
or blends, as determined in reaching the clients’ specific investment objectives. This includes a wide range of investment
structures (i.e., equities, fixed income, exchange traded products and mutual funds) through actively managed accounts
such as Unified Managed Accounts (“UMAs”) and Separately Managed Accounts (“SMAs”). JSAM offers two types of managed
account strategies: 1) Asset Allocation UMAs for different risk/reward profiles (i.e., Conservative, Balanced and Aggressive),
and 2) Single Strategy UMAs and SMAs focused on a specific strategy (i.e., fixed income, equities). SMAs can be outsourced
to third-party managers or rely on external model providers.
The clients are responsible for selecting the investment strategy from the model portfolios presented by JSAM. When a
client invests in an UMA/SMA, the client directly owns the individual securities. The client may request limitations or restric-
tions on investing in certain securities and/or asset classes. The imposition of limitations or restrictions on an UMA/SMA
portfolio may result in investment performance results and account volatility that could be materially different than that
experienced by client accounts without such restrictions or limitations. JSAM may be unable to provide its services to clients
with certain investment limitations or restrictions. JSAM receives from its clients an advisory fee.
www.jsinvestments.com | J. Safra Asset Management | 03 / 2026 | 04
Institutional Investment Consulting Services
JSAM also provides consulting services to certain affiliates through a service level agreement whereby JSAM provides
administrative services, information, market perceptions and advice in regard to US asset market, including insights,
analysis and updates of markets, private funds and any other investments as identified by JSAM.
Based on its ongoing investment research, JSAM provides research reports and, if requested, specific recommendations to
affiliates that have contracted for this service. JSAM does not provide advice to the affiliate’s clients as part of this consulting
service, with the exception of Safra National Bank and Safra Securities LLC clients. JSAM receives a fee for these services.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Advisory Services Fees
JSAM receives from its clients advisory fees calculated as a percentage of the assets under management. The fees vary
according to the amount of assets under management, strategy and risk tolerance of each client and are subject to
negotiation between JSAM and each
client. JSAM’s fees vary up to 1.50% of assets under management for advisory services other than fund investment
management services. For fund investment management services, JSAM's management fees vary up to 1.75% of assets
under management.
Advisory fees are typically payable quarterly in arrears. For Non-Discretionary Services, the advisory fees are based on
the market value of the assets under management as of the last day of each month in the quarter as per the custodian’s
statement and typically payable quarterly in arrears. Advisory fees for Discretionary Services are based on the percentage
of the average daily closing market value of the assets under management and typically payable quarterly in arrears.
Discretionary clients and JSAM may typically terminate the relationship upon receipt of written notice from the other party.
Non- discretionary clients and JSAM may typically terminate the relationship upon receipt of 60 days written notice. Investors
in the various funds are requested to refer to the offering documents of the specific fund for information on redemptions.
Institutional Investment Consulting Services

to negotiation with each client. Fixed fees are due and payable monthly in arrears. Institutional Investment Consulting
Service clients and JSAM may typically terminate the advisory agreement upon receipt of 30 days written notice.
Fund Fees and Expenses

third-party, model providers or private funds, all fees paid to JSAM for investment advisory services are separate and
distinct from the fees and expenses charged by such funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described
herein or in each fund’s prospectus or offering documents. These fees will generally include a management fee, a possible
distribution fee, other fund expenses and, in the case of private funds, a performance-based fee as described in Item 6

there fore give investment advice or exercise investment discretion or take other actions for clients that may differ from the
advice given, or the timing and nature of actions taken, for other clients. Investment results for different portfolios, including
portfolios that are generally managed in a similar style, may also differ as a result of this considerations. Some clients may

different time.

Institutional Investment Consulting Services
Typically, JSAM targets affiliated institutions seeking information regarding different asset classes, including, but not limited

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Types of Investments
JSAM offers investment advice on a variety of asset classes including equities, fixed income, exchange traded products,
mutual funds and long only strategies, and alternative assets (including hedge funds, private equity/venture capital vehicles,
liquid alternatives structures, structured products).
Methods of Analysis
JSAM product offerings and investments include direct investments into equities and fixed income instruments as well as
into exchange traded products. In addition, JSAM invests in third party managers and employs third party managers as
model providers for direct equity and fixed income investments.
For individual securities, JSAM will undertake fundamental analysis which involves reviewing financial statements,
understanding the business model and valuation assessment (on an absolute and relative basis). Transparency in regards
to pricing is abundant, as performance of underlying securities is followed on a continuous basis.
JSAM conducts a thorough evaluation of money managers, third part model providers and investment vehicles using
quantitative and qualitative analysis. To the extent such information is available, JSAM considers factors including, without
limitation, education, experience and background of key personnel; risk management techniques employed; risk/reward
attributes of each money manager’s strategy; information obtained through personal interviews and literature; portfolio
composition; comparison of manager track record to peer group and market indices; independent verification of past
performance; and political and economic factors.
In constructing portfolios of diversified securities, JSAM will look to understanding the macro-economic environment as well.
This includes an understanding of monetary policy and fiscal policy, and the potential impact it may have on asset pricing.
While employing a long-term approach towards investing, JSAM can be tactical as well to take advantage of opportunities
that may be present and/or to protect risk.
Sources of Information
JSAM relies in part on information (including historical performance data) obtained directly from money managers. JSAM
endeavors to obtain independent verification of certain information when it deems appropriate. When evaluating passive
and active investments, JSAM can rely on publicly available information of various companies. This can include research
materials including SEC filings, sell-side research reports, media reports as well as other sources that can aid in formulating
an opinion. Attending industry and investment conferences as further complements the investment evaluation process.
www.jsinvestments.com | J. Safra Asset Management | 03 / 2026 | 07
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
All investments present the risk of loss of principal – the risk that the value of securities, such as hedge funds, private
funds, mutual funds, ETFs, equities and individual bonds, when sold or otherwise disposed of, may be less than the price
paid for the securities. Even when the value of the securities when sold is greater than the price paid, there is the risk that
the appreciation will be less than inflation. In other words, the purchasing power of the proceeds may be less than the
purchasing power of the original investment. There can be no guarantee that a portfolio or investment strategy will meet
its objectives or that it will not suffer losses.
Certain funds or model portfolios utilized by JSAM may contain international securities. Investing outside the United States
involves additional risks, such as currency fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be greater
with investments in developing countries.
JSAM cannot guarantee the future performance of Client’s accounts, promise any specific level of performance, or promise
that any strategy or overall management of Client’s account will be successful. The investment recommendations JSAM
makes for Client, including equity, fixed-income and other investments, are subject to various risks, including but not limited
to market, currency,
credit, liquidity, interest rate, economic, foreign, political and business risks, and will not necessarily be profitable.
The investment decisions made by JSAM are not intended as a complete investment program. In making investment
decisions for the Account, JSAM will not consider any other securities, cash or other investments Client owns unless Client
has told JSAM to do so in written instructions on Schedule B or other verified and acknowledged communications.
Hedge funds are speculative and involve substantial risks. Hedge funds usually are not registered or regulated under any
laws, should be considered illiquid investments, are not freely transferable, may be highly leveraged, may be volatile, and
may involve higher fees and expenses than other types of investments.
More information about the risks of any particular market sector can be reviewed in representative mutual fund
prospectuses or private placement memoranda.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that
would be material to the evaluation of JSAM or the integrity of JSAM’s management. JSAM has no information applicable
to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations

SNB is the custodian for a majority of non-discretionary and discretionary clients and JSAM provides certain institutional
consulting services to SNB as described in Item 4. JSAM, SNB SSL, and JSI are located in the same building and share some
office space and common areas. However, JSAM’s office workspace and document storage room are physically segregated

www.jsinvestments.com | J. Safra Asset Management | 03 / 2026 | 09
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
JSAM has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth appropriate ethical standards of business conduct that JSAM requires
of its employees, including compliance with applicable federal securities laws. JSAM’s Code of Ethics permits its officers
and employees to trade in securities, subject to review and reporting of such transactions according to the firm’s policies.
Therefore, personnel of JSAM may from time to time have acquired or sold, or may subsequently acquire or sell, for their
personal accounts, securities that may also be held, or have been purchased or sold, in client accounts. JSAM’s Code of
Ethics is designed to monitor and protect the interests of clients, and to prevent conflicts of interest or abuse of JSAM’s or
its employees’ position of trust.
JSAM’s Code of Ethics includes policies and procedures for the review of quarterly securities transaction reports as well as
initial and annual securities holdings reports that must be submitted by JSAM’s covered persons. Among other things, JSAM’s
Code of Ethics requires the prior approval of any acquisition of securities in a limited offering (e.g., private placement),
an initial public offering or any personal investment in “reportable” securities. Finally, JSAM’s Code of Ethics also includes
oversight monitoring, enforcement and record keeping provisions.
JSAM or certain of JSAM’s international affiliates may, at times, become party to non-public information. A restricted list is
maintained by JSAM and any such affiliates, and is provided, updated as necessary to JSAM. Supervised persons of JSAM
and its affiliates are prohibited from investing in any entities, on either a personal or professional basis, that are included
on the restricted list.
A copy of JSAM’s Code of Ethics is available to JSAM’s advisory clients upon request to the Chief Compliance Officer at JSAM’s
principal office address.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
JSAM has an affiliated broker-dealer, Safra Securities LLC (“SSL”). JSAM has made the policy decision that SSL may be utilized
for trading for discretionary advisory services accounts, as well as for managed accounts.
Transaction costs are not saved by aggregating orders in almost all circumstances in which JSAM arranges transactions.
JSAM allocates trades in its managed account strategies on a pro-rata basis. In certain instances, however, such as the
limited availability of publicly traded securities or over-subscribed public offerings, it may not be possible to allocate a
transaction pro-rata, especially if, for example, clients have materially different sized portfolios or if post-trade allocation
becomes substantially different from pre-trade allocation due to minimum round lots not reached. In those cases, we will
seek to randomly allocate executed trades.
Non-Discretionary Advisory Services
For Non-Discretionary advisory services, JSAM will not have discretionary authority to make investment decisions on the
client’s behalf. JSAM does not have the discretion as to which securities to buy or sell or discretion regarding the execution
of the transaction. In other words, clients are responsible for selecting the investments from those presented by JSAM,
as well as the allocation, if any, to cash, and for implementing selected investments with their custodian. Put differently,
JSAM will not have any authority to give any instructions on the client’s behalf to any broker, dealer, custodian, hedge fund
administrator or any other person, without the client’s prior written consent.
When implementing a securities recommendation, clients generally will direct an institution to execute the transaction, which
can be any bank, custodian or broker-dealer of the client’s choice, including implementing or arranging the transaction with
SNB or SSL.
www.jsinvestments.com | J. Safra Asset Management | 03 / 2026 | 10
Discretionary Advisory Services/Managed Accounts
a. Selection of Brokers
For discretionary advisory services, JSAM will determine which securities and the amounts of securities that are bought or
sold, as well as the brokers, dealers or counterparties (collectively “Brokers”) to be used (including affiliated SSL), and the
associated commissions or other rates to be paid. JSAM will endeavor to select those brokers which will provide the best
execution at competitive rates. In placing orders to purchase and sell securities, JSAM typically considers a number of factors
in selecting appropriate brokers, including, among others: the overall costs of a trade (i.e., net price paid or received) including
commissions, mark-ups, mark-downs or spreads in the context of JSAM’s knowledge of negotiated commission rates currently
available and other current transaction costs; quality and consistency of market access and of execution including accurate
and timely execution, clearance and error/dispute resolution; the broker’s ability to execute transactions of size in both liquid
and illiquid markets at competitive market prices without disrupting the market for the security traded; the range of services
offered by the broker, including the quality and timeliness of market information, the range of markets and products covered,
quality of research services provided and recommendations made by the broker; the broker’s provision of, and access to,
companies (e.g., coverage of securities, access to public offerings and research materials); the broker’s responsiveness to
queries; the broker’s reputation, financial strength and stability as compared with others; and the broker’s ability to efficiently
document and settle trades, as well as the ease of setup and maintenance of the relationship including the ability to maintain
confidentiality. As stated in Item 13 (“Review of Accounts”), the Investment Committee of JSAM meets periodically to review
best execution and approved brokers list.
JSAM may cause a client’s account to pay a broker (including SSL) a higher amount of commission or effecting a transaction
for the client’s account than another broker would have charged for effecting that same transaction if JSAM determines in
good faith that the amount of commissions is reasonable in relation to the value of the broker’s overall services.
A client may direct JSAM to execute transactions for the client’s account through a specified broker. In this instance, JSAM
does not negotiate commissions with respect to transactions executed by the specified broker. Any such commissions will
be negotiated solely between the client and the specified broker.
b. Research and other Soft Dollars benefits
JSAM does not have any formal or informal arrangements or commitments to use commissions or “soft dollars” to pay for
research products that will fall within the safe harbor for soft dollars created by Section 28(e) of the U.S. Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. JSAM will make a good-faith determination that the services to be used in the investment decision
making process, and that total commissions paid to a broker (including our affiliate Safra Securities LLC), are reasonable and
sole in relation to the value of brokerage services provided.
Under JSAM’s Section 28(e) soft dollar policies, JSAM may receive third party research products including periodically and
publicly available newsletter. These material are provided to us free of charge, and are not subject to any transaction volume
directed to a particular broker-dealer. We do not consider the provision of research or other services when evaluating
execution services.
www.jsinvestments.com | J. Safra Asset Management | 03 / 2026 | 11
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Reviews
JSAM’s Investment Committee, consisting of Patrick Barros, Simoni Morato, Parin Tolia, Adriano Vieira and Noah Harris meets
at least six times per year. At such meetings, the Investment Committee reviews overall market conditions and any notable
performance or change to strategy of underlying money manager(s). The Committee also reviews all accounts during its
meetings, and may, as a result of this review, determine or recommend adding new managers and/or investment vehicles
to the client, removing existing money managers, and/or investment vehicles and/or adjusting the level of assets maintained
with money managers and/or investment vehicles. The Committee also approves, by majority vote, all asset allocation
recommendations and investment decisions. Advisory clients and Institutional Investment Consulting client accounts will
be reviewed as contracted for at the inception of the advisory relationship.
Management is responsible for reviewing best execution, the approved brokers list, and other trading considerations on a
periodic basis.
Reports
Clients typically receive monthly reports from JSAM which show performance on both an individual security level and
consolidated across the advisory account. Estimated market values are provided from the custodian, fund administrator or
fund managers. Clients also receive a periodic investment newsletter through the relationship with their account officers.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
JSAM may refer potential clients to any affiliated entities and vice versa. JSAM receives no compensation for any referrals
to affiliated or unaffiliated entities.
JSAM may receive potential client referrals from affiliate SNB, or other third parties promoters, pursuant to a written
agreement. In the event that the referred client becomes a JSAM Client, JSAM will compensate SNB or the promoter for the
referral with a percentage of its Management Fees listed in Item 5 at no additional cost to the Client.
Item 15 – Custody
Clients will receive at least quarterly statements directly from their brokerage firm, and bank, including statements from
affiliated broker-dealers and affiliated banks, or other qualified custodians or sub-custodians that hold and maintain client’s
investment assets. JSAM urges its clients to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to
the reports that JSAM may provide. JSAM’s reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures,
reporting dates or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
The SEC’s custody rule sets forth certain requirements for the safekeeping of client assets. Under this rule, JSAM may be
viewed as having custody of certain client assets due to its ability to deduct fees directly from certain client accounts. Pursu-
ant to the rule, JSAM has an independent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) accounting firm conduct
an agreed-upon procedures audit annually and, according to regulations, an internal controls review is performed on its
affiliates SNB and SSL. As a result of this review, KPMG LLP provides an AT-C 205 Internal Controls report. Additionally, SNB,
as a US National Bank is subject to the supervision of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is subject to various
regulatory and reporting requirements. SSL, as a U.S.-registered broker dealer, is subject to oversight by FINRA.

Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Client Non-Discretionary Advisory Services & Institutional Investment Consulting Services
For Non-Discretionary advisory services, JSAM will not have discretionary authority to make investment decisions on the
client’s behalf. JSAM does not have discretion as to which securities to buy or sell or discretion regarding the execution
of the transaction. In other words, clients are responsible for selecting the investments from those presented by JSAM,
as well as the allocation, if any, to cash, and for implementing selected investments with their custodian. Put differently,
JSAM will not have any authority to give any instructions on the client’s behalf to any broker, dealer, custodian, hedge fund
administrator or any other person, without the client’s prior written consent.
Client Discretionary Advisory Services
Once JSAM has approved and accepted the executed Investment Advisory Agreement, there are no limitations from the
client to JSAM’s authority to buy or sell securities on the client’s behalf to seek to satisfy the client’s account objectives. Any
limitations to this discretionary authority requested by the client must be submitted in writing and may be amended by
the client in writing at any time.
