(“K&F”) is a corporation founded in 2001 by Garry Kachkovsky, CFP® and Kristian R. Fisher, CFP® under the laws of Arizona. Garry and Kristian are the sole equal owner partners and investment advisor representatives at K&F. K&F provides investment management and financial planning and consulting services for many different types of clients to help meet their financial goals while remaining sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act in the client’s best interest. This is accomplished in part by knowing the client. Our firm has established a service- oriented advisory practice with open lines of communication. Working with clients to understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process, facilitates the kind of working relationship we value. Advisory Services Investment Management K&F provides investment management services that include the development of an investment strategy that is unique to each client, presentation and implementation of investment recommendations, and ongoing supervision and management of client investment assets. Investment Advisor Representatives (“IARs”) of K&F monitor accounts to identify situations that may warrant actions be taken on behalf of a client’s portfolio. Other services include periodic rebalancing, semi-annual and annual reviews with clients, quarterly newsletter and periodic market commentary communications. Reviews include, but are not limited to, suitability, performance, asset allocation, change in investment objectives and risk tolerance. IARs review client portfolios, and communicate with clients at least annually, for conformity with respect to portfolios, investment objectives, change in the client’s financial situation and account performance. K&F does not provide tax or legal services. Financial Planning and Consulting In addition to investment management services, K&F provides financial planning and consulting services to clients. Financial planning services are typically offered to investment management clients at no additional charge. K&F may also from time to time offer stand-alone planning services charged at an hourly rate. Financial planning and consulting services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more of the following areas: 4  Cash Flow & Debt Management – This involves advice with respect to cash accounts, financial obligations, and cash management.  Risk Management & Insurance Planning – This includes risk management associated with advisory recommendations based on the combination of insurance types that best meet a client’s specific needs, e.g. life, health, disability, and long- term care, and others as appropriate.  Investment Planning – This involves advice with respect to asset selection and allocation, as well as investment income accumulation techniques. Evaluations are made of existing and, when applicable, potential investments in terms of their economic and tax characteristics as well as their suitability for meeting client’s objectives. Tax consequences and their implications are identified and evaluated in general terms.  Retirement Planning – This involves advice with respect to alternatives and techniques for accumulating wealth for retirement income or advice relative to appropriate distributions of assets following retirement. Tax implications and consequences are identified and evaluated in general terms.  Education Planning – This includes alternatives and strategies with respect to the complete or partial funding of college or other post-secondary education experience. Tax consequences and their implications are identified and evaluated in general terms.  Estate Planning – This service involves advice with respect to property ownership, distribution strategies, estate tax reduction, and tax payment techniques. It involves a discussion of gifts, trusts, etc. and the disposition of business interests. Tax consequences and their implications are identified and evaluated. At the request of the Client, our firm will engage the client’s chosen personal estate attorney or planner, with regard to advising the wealth management of the estate planning.  Tax Planning – Tax planning is referred to the client’s chosen personal tax advisor. Our firm may offer advice as to how tax laws may affect various financial decisions, e.g. acquisitions, pension strategy, investing in new opportunities or consolidation of existing investments, and individual taxation issues, among others.  Business Succession Planning – This includes alternatives and strategies with respect to continuity or disposition of the business upon the business owners’ retirement, death, disability, or decision to sell. Tax implications and consequences are identified and evaluated. 5  Consolidation of Finances – As a result of performing some or all of the services listed in points 1 through 8 above, our firm may be able to recommend strategies or methods for consolidating the client’s financial situation in order for the client to manage their financial situation more easily and to obtain efficiency, cost savings, and diversification. For clients seeking financial advice involving analysis of a particular investment, investment portfolio, or overall financial situation, K&F through its IARs, provides financial planning and consulting services designed to meet the client’s specific financial needs and objectives. These consulting services include review of aspects of an individual’s current financial situation, with emphasis on income tax planning, estate tax planning, insurance planning, education planning, retirement planning and capital needs planning. To the extent other services are needed, the IAR will assist the individual in those areas in which he is competent. IARs may also help the client coordinate the implementation of any recommendations made, including referral to other practicing professionals such as an attorney, accountant or insurance agent whose services may be required. In preparing a financial plan for a client, the IAR gathers information deemed relevant to the particular service provided through personal interviews with the client and through documents and/or client profile questionnaires completed by the client. Each service includes an analysis of the client’s financial information, which may, but is not necessarily required to include items such as: their current assets, income, investments, liabilities, short and long-term capital and liquidity needs, risk tolerance and short and long- term financial goals and objectives. Should a client choose to implement the recommendations contained in the financial plan, IARs generally make recommendations with respect to products and services offered by K&F. However, the decision to implement any recommendation rests exclusively with the client, and the client has the right to decide where to implement any such recommendations. In addition to providing individual financial planning and investment advisory consulting services to individuals and corporations, IARs may also provide advice and consultation to Retirement Plan Sponsors and Pension Plans. Typical services rendered include, but are not necessarily limited to: development of an Investment Policy Statement, fund and investment selection, participant education, fund performance monitoring and guidance on ERISA fiduciary obligations. Financial Planning and consulting fees are negotiable between the client and IAR. Fees charged for these services will be dependent upon the anticipated time to provide the services and complexity of the plan and or client’s financial situation. The fees are determined in advance and disclosed to the client at the time the Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement is executed. Retirement Plan Consulting: Our firm provides retirement plan consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors 6 in establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising may include:   Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Our firm will assist in the development of a statement that summarizes the investment goals and objectives along with the broad strategies to be employed to meet the objectives. Investment Options – Our firm will work with the Plan Sponsor to evaluate existing investment options and make recommendations for appropriate changes.   Asset Allocation and Portfolio Construction – Our firm will develop strategic asset allocation models to aid Participants in developing strategies to meet their investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk. Investment Monitoring – Our firm will monitor the performance of the investments and notify the client in the event of over/underperformance and in times of market volatility.  Participant Education – Our firm will provide opportunities to educate plan participants about their retirement plan offerings, different investment options, and general guidance on allocation strategies. In providing services for retirement plan consulting, our firm does not provide any advisory services with respect to the following types of assets: employer securities, real estate (excluding real estate funds and publicly traded REITS), participant loans, non-publicly traded securities or assets, other illiquid investments, or brokerage window programs (collectively, “Excluded Assets”). All retirement plan consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state laws regulating retirement consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are retirement or other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan, and our firm accepts appointment to provide services to such accounts, our firm acknowledges its fiduciary standard within the meaning of Section 3(21) or 3(38) of ERISA as designated by the Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement with respect to the provision of services described therein. Customized Portfolios K&F tailors individual client portfolios in the following ways:  We review a client’s personal risk tolerance and time horizon, and then allocate investments among stocks, bonds and cash in order to optimize the trade-off between risk and return for that particular client.  We review a client’s liquidity needs to make sure they have sufficient cash on hand to fund either regular or unexpected portfolio withdrawals.  We gather information about each client’s tax situation to make sure that we are achieving the best possible investment returns on an after-tax basis.  We make accommodations for investments that a client may hold that are outside of our 7 normal set of recommendations. We also make accommodations for those clients who wish to engage in Socially Responsible Investing by researching and using SRI-strategy mutual funds.  We allow each client to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account. Wrap Fee Programs Our firm offers and sponsors a wrap fee program. Investment Management services are only offered through wrapped accounts, which are managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. Please see our Part 2A, Appendix 1 (the “Wrap Fee Program Brochure”) for more information. Discretionary Management As of December 31st, 2025, K&F manages $266,226,927 on a discretionary basis and $38,851,328 on a non-discretionary basis. Our total assets under management are $305,078,255. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Investment Management Advisory fees are charged quarterly in advance. The fee is calculated by taking the quarter- end portfolio value, assigning the following rate schedule, and then dividing by four to arrive at a quarterly fee amount. The annual rates are: Assets Under Management Up to $1,000,000 $1,000,001 to $2,000,000 $2,000,001 to $5,000,000 $5,000,001 & Over Annual Fee 1.00% 0.75% 0.50% 0.25% Advisory fees include the provision of financial planning services at no additional charge. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. K&F’s annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata basis quarterly in advance based on the value of your account on the last business day of the quarter. Our firm bills on cash balances unless otherwise agreed. Fees are negotiable and will be deducted from your account or payable by check. The specific manner in which fees are charged by K&F is established in the client’s Investment Management Agreement. If the client elects to have the fees directly deducted from their account, the following will be in place: 8 a) Your independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly to you showing the market values for each security included in the Assets and all disbursements in your account including the amount of the advisory fees paid to us; b) You provide written authorization permitting us to be directly paid by these terms. c) It is the client’s responsibility to verify the calculation of advisory fees deducted from the account; and d) The account custodian sends a statement to the client, at least quarterly, showing all account disbursements, including advisory fees. Financial Planning and Consulting K & F may from time to time, at its discretion, provide stand-alone financial planning and consulting services to individuals who do not retain our investment management services. Hourly fees: Our hourly fee for plan development is $250 per hour. The items addressed in a financial plan or general consulting services may include one or more of the services listed above. The amount of time spent will depend on the complexity of the request and all services will be completed within six months. The total number of hours will be estimated prior to the engagement and will be specified in our firm’s Financial Planning & Consulting Agreement. The client will be invoiced directly for hourly fees.  Example: A client meets with our firm to discuss basic financial consulting issues and seeks general investment advice relating to broad issues such as retirement planning and education planning. The meeting lasts for 2 hours and follow up research takes 2 hours. The client would be invoiced for $1000 upon completion of the plan. Fixed Fees: Our fixed fees are negotiable and will not exceed $10,000. Depending on circumstances, fees for financial planning and consulting services are offered to clients for small consulting projects. Such services include any combination of the services listed above, periodic reviews, revisions/updates to the financial plan, and day-to-day consulting as required.  Example: A client with limited financial investing history and modest assets who engages our firm for a single service listed above would be charged a fee of $500, because of limited document review and fewer consulting options. A client with maximum complexity who retains our firm for all services listed above, which may require 40 or more hours of adviser’s time would be charged a flat fee of $10,000. Services rendered and the fees charged are disclosed in each Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement. It is possible that a client of K&F may pay more or less for similar services than another client. Any investment program involves risk and there is no guarantee that using the Financial Planning and Consulting Services will produce favorable results. 9 Retirement Plan Consulting: Our Retirement Plan Consulting services are billed on the percentage of Plan assets under management. The total estimated fee, as well as the ultimate fee charged, is based on the scope and complexity of our engagement with the client. Fees based on a percentage of managed Plan assets will not exceed 1.00%. The fee-paying arrangements will be determined on a case- by-case basis and will be detailed in the signed consulting agreement. Other Types of Fees & Expenses The fees listed above are in addition to any fees charged by the account custodian or costs associated with the implementation of the investment plan. These costs may include transaction fees for non-wrap accounts, mutual fund operating expenses, custodial fees, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. K&F seeks to minimize these additional costs on clients’ behalf whenever possible. Third Party Service Fees On occasion, we may recommend or refer clients to third party service providers or technology platforms that support or enhance the services we provide. These third party providers may charge our firm fees for access to or use of their services. In certain cases, we will pass these fees through to clients. When such fees are passed through, they are separate from and in addition to our advisory fees, and the third party fees are not retained by our firm. Instead, the fees represent costs charged to us by the third party provider for services related to the client’s account, which we then allocate or invoice to the client. Clients are not obligated to use any third party services we recommend and may obtain comparable services from providers of their choice. Any applicable third party fees, the basis for the fee, and the method of billing will be disclosed to clients prior to or at the time such fees are incurred Termination & Refunds If a client wishes to terminate our services, they will need to contact us in writing and state that they wish to terminate our services. Upon receipt of their letter of termination, accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a pro-rated fee, calculated based on a calendar year. Refunds will be paid based on the remaining days in the billable quarter that are determined as unearned fees. Refunds of unearned fees will be calculated on a pro-rata basis and the unearned fees paid back to the client. The fee will be refunded to the client’s account or provided to the client in the form of a check. Financial Planning & Consulting clients may terminate their agreement at any time before the 10 delivery of a financial plan by providing written notice. For purposes of calculating refunds, all work performed by us up to the point of termination shall be calculated at the hourly fee currently in effect. Clients will receive a pro-rata refund of unearned fees based on the time and effort expended by our firm. Unless the client has received the firm’s disclosure brochure at least 48 hours prior to signing the investment advisory contract, the investment advisory contract may be terminated by the client within five (5) business day of signing the contract without incurring any advisory fees. Commissionable Securities Sales We do not sell securities for a commission in our advisory accounts. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management K&F does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). Item 7 – Types of Clients K&F provides investment management and financial planning services to high net worth individuals, families, trusts, corporations or other business, limited liability companies, corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, and charitable institutions. K&F will typically require new clients to have a minimum of $500,000 to invest; however, K&F may make exceptions on a client by client basis. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss K&F follows the principles of asset allocation to construct broadly diversified investment portfolios that are designed for the long-term and are based on each client’s personal circumstances (goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, tax considerations). K&F strives to keep expenses and investment costs low, and primarily use no-load, low-cost mutual funds and exchange-traded funds when implementing investment portfolios. We seek to minimize the effect of taxes through asset location and tax-efficient investment vehicles. The prices of securities held in client accounts and the income they generate may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world. These include events directly involving the issuers of securities held as underlying assets of mutual funds in a client’s account, conditions affecting the general economy, and overall market changes. Other contributing factors include local, regional, or global political, social, or economic instability and governmental or governmental agency responses to economic conditions. Finally, 11 currency, interest rate, and commodity price fluctuations may also affect security prices and income. Various administrative difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling portfolio transactions, or in receiving payment of dividends can increase risk. Although we do a great amount of work to determine in advance a client’s risk tolerance, it is important to understand that investing money involves many risks (i.e. market, interest rate, liquidity, reinvestment, geopolitical, currency/exchange rate), including the risk of loss of principal, and clients should be prepared to bear this risk. We cannot guarantee any particular investment outcome. A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as our firm does not control the underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different funds held by the Client may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to the Client if that security were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF, which could make the holding(s) less suitable for the Client’s portfolio. 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 your evaluation of K&F or the integrity of our management. K&F has received no legal or disciplinary action. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations Representatives of our firm are insurance agents/brokers. They may offer insurance products and receive customary fees as a result of insurance sales. A conflict of interest arises as these insurance sales create an incentive to recommend products based on the compensation adviser and/or our supervised persons earn. Clients have the right to purchase insurance products that we may recommend in a financial plan from anybody they choose. In order to mitigate this conflict of interest, we fulfill our fiduciary duty by acting in the client’s best interest. If our management persons are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer, our firm must disclose this fact. Our firm has nothing to disclose in this regard. If our management persons are registered, or have an application pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities, our firm must disclose this fact. Our firm has nothing to disclose in this regard. 12 If our firm recommends or select other investment advisers for our clients and our firm receives compensation directly or indirectly from those advisers, or our firm has other business relationships with those advisers, our firm is required to describe these practices and discuss the conflicts of interest these practices create and how our firm addresses them. Our firm does not recommend or select other investment advisers for our clients. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading An investment adviser is considered a fiduciary and our firm has a fiduciary duty to all clients. As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Our fiduciary duty is considered the core underlying principle for our Code of Ethics which also includes Insider Trading and Personal Securities Transactions Policies and Procedures. If a client or a potential client wishes to review our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided upon request. We recognize that the personal investment transactions of members and employees of our firm demand the application of a high Code of Ethics and require that all such transactions be carried out in a way that does not endanger the interest of any client. At the same time, we believe that if investment goals are similar for clients and for members and employees of our firm, it is logical and even desirable that there be common ownership of some securities. Therefore, in order to prevent conflicts of interest, we have in place a set of procedures (including a pre-clearing procedure) with respect to transactions effected by our members, officers and employees for their personal accounts1. In order to monitor compliance with our personal trading policy, we have a quarterly securities transaction reporting system for all of our associates. Upon employment or affiliation and at least annually thereafter, all supervised persons will sign an acknowledgement that they have read, understand, and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics. Neither our firm nor a related person recommends to clients, or buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest. Related persons of our firm may buy or sell securities and other investments that are also recommended to clients. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our related persons will place client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics. Further, our related persons will refrain from buying or selling the same securities prior to buying or selling for our clients in the same day. If related persons’ accounts are included in a block trade, our related persons’ accounts will be traded in the same manner every time. 1 For purposes of the policy, our associate’s personal account generally includes any account (a) in the name of our associate, his/her spouse, his/her minor children or other dependents residing in the same household, (b) for which our associate is a trustee or executor, or (c) which our associate controls, including our client accounts which our associate controls and/or a member of his/her household has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in. 13 Our firm and supervised persons must conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices Selecting a Brokerage Firm: We seek to utilize a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute transactions on terms that are attractive when compared to other available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others, these:  Ability to maintain the confidentiality of trading intentions  Timeliness of execution  Timeliness and accuracy of trade confirmations  Liquidity of the securities traded  Ability to place trades in difficult market environments  Research services provided  Execution facilitation services provided  Record keeping services provided  Custody services provided  Frequency and correction of trading errors  Ability to access a variety of market venues  Financial condition  Business reputation and overall level of service With the aforementioned in consideration, we utilize the services of Raymond James Financial Services (“RJFS”) to keep custody of our clients’ assets. Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“RJA”), an affiliate of RJFS (together known as “Raymond James”), acts as the clearing agent when we execute securities transactions placed through RJFS. RJFS may make certain research and brokerage services available at no additional cost to our firm. These services may be directly from independent research companies, as selected by our firm. Research products and services provided by RJFS may include research reports on recommendations or other information about particular companies or industries; economic surveys, data and analyses; financial publications; portfolio evaluation services; financial database software and services; computerized news and pricing services; quotation equipment for use in running software used in investment decision- making; and other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance by RJFS to our firm in the performance of our investment decision-making responsibilities. As a result of receiving these services, we may have an incentive to continue to use or expand the use of RJFS services. Our firm examined this conflict of interest when we chose to enter into the relationship 14 with RJFS and we have determined that the relationship is in the best interest of our firm’s clients and satisfies our fiduciary obligations, including our duty to seek best execution. RJFS charges transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain mutual funds, debt securities transactions, etc.). RJFS does not charge transaction fees for U.S. listed equities or ETFs. RJFS enables us to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other funds at nominal transaction charges. Our clients may pay a transaction fee to RJFS that is higher than another qualified broker dealer might charge to affect the same transaction. We have determined in good faith that the fee is reasonable in relation to the value of the services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker- dealer’s services, including the value of research provided, execution capability, transaction rates, and responsiveness. Accordingly, although we will seek competitive rates to the benefit of all clients, we may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible rates for specific client account transactions. Soft Dollars: The investment research products and services that may be obtained by our firm will generally be used to service all of our clients. Our firm does not accept products or services that do not qualify for Safe Harbor outlined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those services that do not aid in investment decision-making or trade execution. Client Brokerage Commissions: We do not acquire any services from RJFS based on client brokerage commissions (or markups or markdowns). In any case, we do not receive a portion of the commissions paid to RJFS. Procedures to Direct Client Transactions in Return for Soft Dollars: We do not direct client transactions to a particular broker-dealer in return for soft dollar benefits. Brokerage for Client Referrals: Our firm does not receive compensation for client referrals. Directed Brokerage: 15 Neither our firm nor any of our firm’s representatives have discretionary authority in making the determination of the brokers-dealers and/or custodians with whom orders for the purchase or sale of securities are placed for execution, and the commission rates at which such securities transactions are affected. Our firm routinely requests that clients direct us to execute through a specified broker-dealer. Our firm recommends the use of RJFS. Each client will be required to establish their account(s) with RJFS if not already done. Please note that not all advisers have this requirement. Special Considerations for ERISA Clients: A retirement or ERISA plan client may direct all or part of portfolio transactions for its account through a specific broker or dealer, insurance company, or mutual fund company in order to obtain goods or services on behalf of the plan. Such direction is permitted provided that the goods and services provided are reasonable expenses of the plan incurred in the ordinary course of its business for which it otherwise would be obligated and empowered to pay. ERISA prohibits directed brokerage arrangements when the goods or services purchased are not for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Consequently, we will request that plan sponsors who direct plan brokerage provide us with a letter documenting that this arrangement will be for the exclusive benefit of the plan. Aggregation of Purchase or Sale: We perform investment management services for various clients. There are occasions on which portfolio transactions may be executed as part of concurrent authorizations to purchase or sell the same security for numerous accounts served by our firm, which involve accounts with similar investment objectives. Although such concurrent authorizations potentially could be either advantageous or disadvantageous to any one or more particular accounts, they are affected only when we believe that to do so will be in the best interest of the effected accounts. When such concurrent authorizations occur, the objective is to allocate the executions in a manner which is deemed equitable to the accounts involved. In any given situation, we attempt to allocate trade executions in the most equitable manner possible, taking into consideration client objectives, current asset allocation and availability of funds using average price and proration. Block orders not fully executed will result in pro-rata allocation to the accounts allocated in the block trade. Item 13 – Review of Accounts Client accounts are reviewed as follows: Daily Review: Our custodian, Raymond James Financial Services, provides K&F with a daily electronic data file containing all client account transactions and positions. On-going Review: Accounts are regularly reviewed in relation to economic and market movements, changes in fund recommendations, and shifts in target asset allocations. 16 Annual Review: In addition to the above, we seek to meet with clients at least once per year in order to stay informed regarding their personal situation and to determine whether the established investment strategy remains appropriate. Our firm does not provide written reports to clients, unless asked to do so. Verbal reports to clients take place on at least an annual basis when clients are contacted. Upon Client Request: In addition to the above, we periodically review client accounts in relation to new information presented by the client or in order to provide information requested by the client. All reviews, whether initiated by Client or Advisor, are performed by Mr. Kachkovsky and Mr. Fisher. Factors that may trigger a review in addition to those listed above include withdrawals from a client portfolio, additions to a client portfolio, changes to our tactical investment strategies, changes to our approved list of mutual funds and ETFs, and extreme market conditions that would trigger a rebalancing of the portfolio. All investment management clients receive monthly account position and transaction statements from RJFS. Clients may elect to have reports from RJFS delivered electronically (via e-mail and website access) or via U.S. mail. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation We receive an economic benefit from RJFS in the form of the support products and services it makes available to us and other independent investment advisors that have their clients maintain accounts at RJFS. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). 3rd Party Marketing Tools K&F may use 3rd party marketing tools and software for marketing purposes and for generating leads. All 3rd party marketing pieces are reviewed by K&F. Item 15 – Custody The SEC issued a no-action letter (“Letter”) with respect to the Rule 206(4)-2 (“Custody Rule”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”). The letter provided guidance on the Custody Rule as well as clarified that an adviser who has the power to disburse client funds to a third party under a standing letter of instruction (“SLOA”) is deemed to have custody. As such, our firm has adopted the following safeguards in conjunction with our custodian, RJFS: 17  The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.  The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to time.  The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization, and provides a transfer of funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.  The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified custodian.  The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s instruction.  The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of the investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.  The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. We encourage our clients to raise any questions with us about the custody, safety or security of their assets. The custodians we do business with will send you independent account statements listing your account balance(s), transaction history and any fee debits or other fees taken out of your account. We urge clients to compare statements received from our firm and the custodian. Item 16 – Investment Discretion Clients have the option of providing our firm with investment discretion on their behalf, pursuant to an executed investment advisory client agreement. By granting investment discretion, we are authorized to execute securities transactions, which securities are bought and sold, and the total amount to be bought and sold. Limitations may be imposed by the client in the form of specific constraints on any of these areas of discretion with our firm’s written acknowledgement in the Investment Policy Statement. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities As a matter of firm policy and practice, K&F does not have any authority to and does 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. K&F may provide advice to clients regarding the clients’ voting of proxies. 18 Item 18 – Financial Information Our firm is not required to provide financial information in this Brochure because:  Our firm does not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees and six or more months in advance.  Our firm does not have a financial condition or commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary obligations to clients.  Our firm has never been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. . 19 Item 1 - Cover Page Form ADV Part 2B – Brochure Supplements Garry Kachkovsky, CFP® Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. 3202 Governor Drive | Suite 204 San Diego, CA 92122 (858) 450-9711 Updated: February 2025 This Brochure Supplement provides information about Garry Kachkovsky that supplements the Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc.

Item 1: Cover Page Part 2A Appendix 1 of Form ADV: Wrap Fee Program Brochure March 2026 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. Wrap Program Sponsored by: Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. 3202 Governor Drive | Suite 204 San Diego, CA 92122 kfria.com Firm Contacts: Garry Kachkovsky & Kristian R. Fisher This brochure provides information about the qualifications and business practices of Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. If clients have any questions about the contents of this brochure, please contact us at (858) 450-9711. The information in this brochure has not been approved or verified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or by any State Securities Authority. Additional information about our firm is also available on the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching CRD #117811. Please note that the use of the term “registered investment adviser” and description of our firm and/or our associates as “registered” does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Clients are encouraged to review this Brochure and Brochure Supplements for our firm’s associates who advise clients for more information on the qualifications of our firm and our employees. Item 2: Material Changes Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. (“K&F”) is required to make clients aware of information that has changed since the last annual update to the Wrap Brochure (“Wrap Brochure”) and that may be important to them. Clients can then determine whether to review the brochure in its entirety or to contact us with questions about the changes. Since our last annual amendment filed on March 26th 2025, we have no material changes to disclose. ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 2 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. Item 3: Table of Contents Item 1: Cover Page .......................................................................................................................................................................................... 1 Item 2: Material Changes ............................................................................................................................................................................. 2 Item 3: Table of Contents ............................................................................................................................................................................. 3 Item 4: Services, Fees & Compensation ................................................................................................................................................. 4 Item 5: Account Requirements & Types of Clients ........................................................................................................................... 5 Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection & Evaluation ........................................................................................................................... 6 Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Manager(s) .................................................................................................... 7 Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Manager(s) ............................................................................................................................. 7 Item 9: Additional Information ................................................................................................................................................................. 8 ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 3 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. Item 4: Services, Fees & Compensation Our firm manages assets for many different types of clients to help meet their financial goals while remaining sensitive to risk tolerance and time horizons. As a fiduciary, it is our duty to always act in the client’s best interest. This is accomplished in part by knowing the client. Our firm has established a service-oriented advisory practice with open lines of communication. Working with clients to understand their investment objectives while educating them about our process, facilitates the kind of working relationship we value. Our firm sponsors and offers a wrap fee program, which allows clients to pay a single fee for investment advisory services and associated custodial transaction costs. Transaction fees will be paid by our firm based on a percentage of the dollar amount of assets in the account(s). Because our firm absorbs client transaction fees, an incentive exists to limit trading activities in client accounts. Custodial transaction costs, however, are not included in the advisory fee charged by our firm for non-wrap services, and are to be paid by the client to their chosen custodian. Depending on the client’s account or portfolio trading activity, clients may pay more for using our wrap fee services than they would for using our non-wrap services. All material conflicts of interest are disclosed below regarding our firm, our representatives or our employees, which could be reasonably expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and objective advice. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Our recommended custodian, Raymond James, does not charge transaction fees for U.S. listed equities and exchange traded funds. Since we pay the transaction fees charged by the custodian to clients participating in our wrap fee program, this presents a conflict of interest because we are incentivized to recommend equities and exchange traded funds over other types of securities in order to reduce our costs. Our Wrap Advisory Services Wrap Investment Management: As part of our Wrap Investment Management service, a portfolio is created, consisting of individual stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, mutual funds and other public and private securities or investments. The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. Portfolios will be designed to meet a particular investment goal, determined to be suitable to the client’s circumstances. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives. Fee Schedule Assets Under Management Up to $1,000,000 $1,000,001 to $2,000,000 $2,000,001 to $5,000,000 $5,000,001 & Over Annual Fee 1.00% 0.75% 0.50% 0.25% ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 4 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. Transaction costs imposed by the custodian for trades are paid by our firm. Advisory fees include the provision of financial planning services at no additional charge. Our firm may bill on cash balances unless otherwise indicated in writing. Fees to be assessed will be outlined in the advisory agreement to be signed by the Client. Annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata basis quarterly in advance based on the value of the account(s) on the last day of the previous quarter. Fees are negotiable and will be deducted from your account or by client check. In rare cases, our firm will agree to directly invoice. As part of this process, Clients understand the following: a) Your independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly to you showing the market values for each security included in the Assets and all disbursements in your account including the amount of the advisory fees paid to us; b) You provide written authorization permitting us to be directly paid by these terms. c) It is the client’s responsibility to verify the calculation of advisory fees deducted from the account; and d) The account custodian sends a statement to the client, at least quarterly, showing all account disbursements, including advisory fees. Other Types of Fees & Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees above, clients may also pay holdings charges imposed by the chosen custodian for certain investments, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund, which shall be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees, initial or deferred sales charges, mutual fund sales loads, 12b-1 fees, surrender charges, variable annuity fees, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, and other fund expenses), mark-ups and mark- downs, spreads paid to market makers, fees for trades executed away from custodian, wire transfer fees and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Our firm does not receive a portion of these fees. Third Party Service Fees On occasion, we may recommend or refer clients to third party service providers or technology platforms that support or enhance the services we provide. These third party providers may charge our firm fees for access to or use of their services. In certain cases, we will pass these fees through to clients. When such fees are passed through, they are separate from and in addition to our advisory fees, and the third party fees are not retained by our firm. Instead, the fees represent costs charged to us by the third party provider for services related to the client’s account, which we then allocate or invoice to the client. Clients are not obligated to use any third party services we recommend and may obtain comparable services from providers of their choice. Any applicable third party fees, the basis for the fee, and the method of billing will be disclosed to clients prior to or at the time such fees are incurred Wrap Fee Program Recommendations: Our firm does not recommend or offer the wrap program services of other providers. Item 5: Account Requirements & Types of Clients ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 5 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. Our requirements for opening and maintaining accounts or otherwise engaging us:  Our firm requires a minimum account balance of $500,000 for our Wrap Investment Management service. However, K&F may make exceptions on a client by client basis. Our firm has the following types of clients:  Individuals and High Net Worth Individuals;  Trusts, Estates or Charitable Organizations;  Pension and Profit Sharing Plans;  Corporations, Limited Liability Companies and/or Other Business Types Item 6: Portfolio Manager Selection & Evaluation Selection of Portfolio Managers: Our firm’s investment adviser representatives (“IARs”) act as portfolio manager(s) for this wrap fee program. A conflict arises in that other investment advisory firms may charge the same or lower fees than our firm for similar services. Our IARs are subject to individual licensing requirements as imposed by state securities boards. Our firm is required to confirm or update each IAR’s Form U4 on an annual basis. IAR supervision is conducted by our Chief Compliance Officer or management personnel. Advisory Business: Information about our wrap fee services can be found in Item 4 of this brochure. Our firm offers individualized investment advice to our Wrap Investment Management clients. Each Wrap Investment Management client has the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in the portfolio. Restrictions on investments in certain securities or types of securities may not be possible due to the level of difficulty this would entail in managing the account. Participation in Wrap Fee Programs: Our firm does not manage wrap fee accounts in a different fashion than non-wrap fee accounts. All accounts are managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s investment objectives, financial goals, risk tolerance, etc. Performance-Based Fees & Side-By-Side Management: Our firm does not charge performance-based fees. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies & Risk of Loss: ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 6 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. K&F follows the principles of asset allocation to construct broadly diversified investment portfolios that are designed for the long-term and are based on each client’s personal circumstances (goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, tax considerations). K&F strives to keep expenses and investment costs low, and primarily use no-load, low-cost mutual funds and exchange-traded funds when implementing investment portfolios. We seek to minimize the effect of taxes through asset location and tax-efficient investment vehicles. The prices of securities held in client accounts and the income they generate may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world. These include events directly involving the issuers of securities held as underlying assets of mutual funds in a client’s account, conditions affecting the general economy, and overall market changes. Other contributing factors include local, regional, or global political, social, or economic instability and governmental or governmental agency responses to economic conditions. Finally, currency, interest rate, and commodity price fluctuations may also affect security prices and income. Various administrative difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling portfolio transactions, or in receiving payment of dividends can increase risk. Although we do a great amount of work to determine in advance a client’s risk tolerance, it is important to understand that investing money involves many risks (i.e. market, interest rate, liquidity, reinvestment, geopolitical, currency/exchange rate), including the risk of loss of principal, and clients should be prepared to bear this risk. We cannot guarantee any particular investment outcome. A risk of mutual fund and/or ETF analysis is that, as in all securities investments, past performance does not guarantee future results. A manager who has been successful may not be able to replicate that success in the future. In addition, as our firm does not control the underlying investments in a fund or ETF, managers of different funds held by the Client may purchase the same security, increasing the risk to the Client if that security were to fall in value. There is also a risk that a manager may deviate from the stated investment mandate or strategy of the fund or ETF, which could make the holding(s) less suitable for the Client’s portfolio. Voting Client Securities: Our firm does not accept the proxy authority to vote client securities. Clients will receive proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent. In the event that proxies are sent to our firm, our firm will forward them to the appropriate client and ask the party who sent them to mail them directly to the client in the future. Clients may call, write or email us to discuss questions they may have about particular proxy votes or other solicitations. Item 7: Client Information Provided to Portfolio Manager(s) All accounts are managed by our in-house licensed IARs. The IAR selected to manage the client’s account(s) or portfolio(s) will be privy to the client’s investment goals and objectives, risk tolerance, restrictions placed on the management of the account(s) or portfolio(s) and relevant client notes taken by our firm. Please see our firm’s Privacy Policy for more information on how our firm utilizes client information. Item 8: Client Contact with Portfolio Manager(s) ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 7 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. Clients are always free to directly contact their portfolio manager(s) with any questions or concerns about their portfolios or other matters. Item 9: Additional Information Disciplinary Information There are no legal or disciplinary events that are material to the evaluation of our advisory business or the integrity of our management. Financial Industry Activities & Affiliations Representatives of our firm are licensed insurance agents. As a result of these transactions, they receive normal and customary commissions. A conflict of interest exists as these commissionable securities sales create an incentive to recommend products based on the compensation earned. To mitigate this potential conflict, our firm will act in the client’s best interest. Our firm is not registered, nor does it have an application pending to register, as a broker-dealer, registered representative of a broker dealer, investment company or pooled investment vehicle, other investment adviser or financial planner, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor, banking or thrift institution, accountant or accounting firm, lawyer or law firm, pension consultant, real estate broker or dealer or a sponsor or syndicator of limited partnership, or an associated person of the foregoing entities. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions & Personal Trading As a fiduciary, it is an investment adviser’s responsibility to provide fair and full disclosure of all material facts and to act solely in the best interest of each of our clients at all times. Our fiduciary duty is the underlying principle for our firm’s Code of Ethics, which includes procedures for personal securities transaction and insider trading. Our firm requires all representatives to conduct business with the highest level of ethical standards and to comply with all federal and state securities laws at all times. Upon employment with our firm, and at least annually thereafter, all representatives of our firm will acknowledge receipt, understanding and compliance with our firm’s Code of Ethics. Our firm and representatives must conduct business in an honest, ethical, and fair manner and avoid all circumstances that might negatively affect or appear to affect our duty of complete loyalty to all clients. This disclosure is provided to give all clients a summary of our Code of Ethics. If a client or a potential client wishes to review our Code of Ethics in its entirety, a copy will be provided promptly upon request. Our firm recognizes that the personal investment transactions of our representatives demands the application of a Code of Ethics with high standards and requires that all such transactions be carried out in a way that does not endanger the interest of any client. At the same time, our firm also believes that if investment goals are similar for clients and for our representatives, it is logical, and even desirable, that there be common ownership of some securities. ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 8 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. In order to prevent conflicts of interest, our firm has established procedures for transactions effected by our representatives for their personal accounts1. In order to monitor compliance with our personal trading policy, our firm has pre-clearance requirements and a quarterly securities transaction reporting system for all of our representatives. Neither our firm nor a related person recommends, buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which our firm or a related person has a material financial interest without prior disclosure to the client. Related persons of our firm may buy or sell securities and other investments that are also recommended to clients. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our related persons will place client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics, a copy of which is available upon request. Likewise, related persons of our firm buy or sell securities for themselves at or about the same time they buy or sell the same securities for client accounts. In order to minimize this conflict of interest, our related persons will place client interests ahead of their own interests and adhere to our firm’s Code of Ethics, a copy of which is available upon request. Further, our related persons will refrain from buying or selling the same securities prior to buying or selling for our clients in the same day. If related persons’ accounts are included in a block trade, our related persons will always trade personal accounts last. Review of Accounts Our management personnel or financial advisors review accounts on at least an annual basis for our Wrap Investment Management clients. The nature of these reviews is to learn whether clients’ accounts are in line with their investment objectives, appropriately positioned based on market conditions, and investment policies, if applicable. Our firm may review client accounts more frequently than described above. Among the factors which may trigger an off-cycle review are major market or economic events, the client’s life events, requests by the client, etc. Our firm does not provide written reports to clients, unless asked to do so. Verbal reports to clients take place on at least an annual basis when our Wrap Investment Management clients are contacted. Other Compensation Our firm recommends that clients establish brokerage accounts with RJFS. RJFS provides us with access to its institutional trading and operations services, which typically are not available to RJFS retail customers. These services are generally available, without cost, to financial advisory firms who maintain a minimum threshold of client assets with RJFS. RJFS is a full-service registered broker- dealer and registered investment adviser. Our firm has no formal relationship with RJFS for client referrals and receives no compensation from RJFS (other than the services and arrangements described herein) for accounts opened by firm clients. On an informal basis, RJFS occasionally may make referrals to our firm as a courtesy or accommodation. Nothing of value, monetary or otherwise, is given, paid, or received in exchange for such referrals. Services provided by RJFS to financial advisory firms include research (including mutual fund research, third-party research, and RJFS proprietary research), brokerage, custody, and access to 1 For purposes of the policy, our associate’s personal account generally includes any account (a) in the name of our associate, his/her spouse, his/her minor children or other dependents residing in the same household, (b) for which our associate is a trustee or executor, or (c) which our associate controls, including our client accounts which our associate controls and/or a member of his/her household has a direct or indirect beneficial interest in. ADV Part 2A, Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Brochure Page 9 Kachkovsky & Fisher, Inc. mutual funds and other investments that are available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. In addition, RJFS makes available software and other technologies that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution, provide research, pricing information, quotation services, and other market data, assist with contact management, facilitate payment of fees to our firm from client accounts, assist with performance reporting, facilitate trade allocation, and assist with back-office support, record-keeping, and client reporting. RJFS also provides access to financial planning software, practice management consulting support, best execution assistance, consolidated statements assistance, educational and industry conferences, marketing and educational materials, technological and information technology support, and RJFS corporate discounts. Many of these services may be used to service all or a substantial number of RWIs' accounts, including accounts not maintained at RJFS. RJFS may also provide us with other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise, including assistance in the following areas: consulting, publications and presentations, information technology, business succession, and marketing. In addition, RJFS may make available or arrange and/or pay for these types of services provided by independent third parties, including regulatory compliance. Client Referrals Our firm does not pay referral fees (non-commission based) to independent solicitors (non- registered representatives) for the referral of their clients to our firm in accordance with relevant state statutes and rules. 3rd Party Marketing Tools K&F may use 3rd party marketing tools and software for marketing purposes and for generating leads. All 3rd party marketing pieces are reviewed by K&F. Financial Information Our firm is not required to provide financial information in this Brochure because:  Our firm does not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees when services cannot be rendered within 6 months.  Our firm does not have a financial condition or commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary obligations to clients.  Our firm has never been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
