Description of the Advisory Firm Ketron Financial LLC (hereinafter “KF LLC”) is a Limited Liability Company organized in the State of California. The firm became registered as an investment adviser in 2024. The principal owners are Courtenay Wise and Ruth Aguirre. B. Types of Advisory Services Portfolio Management Services KF LLC offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. KF LLC creates an Investment Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). Portfolio management services include, but are not limited to, the following: • • • Investment strategy • • Asset allocation • Risk tolerance Personal investment policy Asset selection Regular portfolio monitoring KF LLC evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and time horizon. KF LLC will require discretionary authority from clients in order to select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in the Investment Policy Statement, which is given to each client. KF LLC seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of KF LLC’s economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, KF LLC attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, KF LLC’s policy is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It is KF LLC’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time. Financial Planning & Estate Transition Planning Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; education planning; and debit/credit planning. Estate transition planning may include counseling and estate consulting concerning assets, preparing paperwork, assisting with distribution, and the process of arranging assets and other 2  affairs, both during life and after death, in a way that accomplishes objectives for the disposition of assets and the management of personal concerns. Selection of Other Advisers KF LLC may direct clients to third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion of the client's assets. Before selecting other advisers for clients, KF LLC will always ensure those other advisers are properly licensed or registered as an investment adviser. KF LLC conducts due diligence on any third-party investment adviser, which may involve one or more of the following: phone calls, meetings and review of the third-party adviser's performance and investment strategy. KF LLC then makes investments with a third-party investment adviser by referring the client to the third-party adviser. KF LLC will review the ongoing performance of the third-party adviser as a portion of the client's portfolio. Pension Consulting Services KF LLC offers consulting services to pension or other employee benefit plans (including but not limited to 401(k) plans). Pension consulting may include, but is not limited to: • • • • • • identifying investment objectives and restrictions providing guidance on various assets classes and investment options recommending money managers to manage plan assets in ways designed to achieve objectives monitoring performance of money managers and investment options and making recommendations for changes recommending other service providers, such as custodians, administrators and broker-dealers creating a written pension consulting plan These services are based on the goals, objectives, demographics, time horizon, and/or risk tolerance of the plan and its participants. Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments KF LLC generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities, insurance products including annuities, equities, ETFs (including ETFs in the gold and precious metal sectors), treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds, non-U.S. securities and private placements, although KF LLC primarily recommends fundamental growth. KF LLC may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable. Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your 3  interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must: • Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); • Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); • Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; • Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; • Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and • Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions KF LLC offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client investment strategies and their implementation are dependent upon the client Investment Policy Statement which outlines each client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent KF LLC from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require KF LLC to deviate from its standard suite of services, KF LLC reserves the right to end the relationship. D. Wrap Fee Programs A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that includes management fees and transaction costs. KF LLC does not participate in wrap fee programs. E. Assets Under Management KF LLC has the following assets under management: Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: Date Calculated: $ 383,952,306.00 $0.00 December 2025 4  Item 5: Fees and Compensation A. Fee Schedule Portfolio Management Fees Total Assets Under Management Annual Fees All Assets Up to 1.30% KF LLC uses the value of the account as of the last business day of the billing period, after taking into account deposits and withdrawals, for purposes of determining the market value of the assets upon which the advisory fee is based. These fees are generally negotiable and the final fee schedule will be memorialized in the client’s advisory agreement. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full refund of KF LLC's fees within five business days of signing the Investment Advisory Contract. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Investment Advisory Contract immediately upon written notice. Financial Planning & Estate Transition Planning Fees Fixed Fees The rate for creating client financial plans or for estate transition planning is up to $3,500. The fees are negotiable and the final fee schedule will be attached as Exhibit II of the Financial Planning Agreement. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty, for full refund of KF LLC’s fees, within five business days of signing the Financial Planning Agreement. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Financial Planning Agreement with written notice. Selection of Other Advisers Fees KF LLC will be compensated via a fee share from the advisers to which it directs those clients. This relationship will be memorialized in each contract between KF LLC and each third-party adviser. The fees shared will not exceed any limit imposed by any regulatory agency. KF LLC may direct clients to Morningstar Managed Portfolio. The annual fee schedule is as follows: KF LLC and Morningstar will split the fee charged to the client. The fees split will be described in the exhibit of the investment advisory contract. Clients will not be charged a fee in excess of 1.35%. These fees are negotiable. 5  The advisory fee is calculated using the value of the assets in the Account on the last business day of the prior billing period. Pension Consulting Services Fees Asset-Based Fees for Pension Consulting Total Assets Under Management Annual Fee All Assets Up to 0.25% KF LLC uses the value of the account as of the last business day of the billing period, after taking into account deposits and withdrawals, for purposes of determining the market value of the assets upon which the advisory fee is based. These fees are generally negotiable and the final fee schedule will be memorialized in the client’s advisory agreement. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full refund of KF LLC's fees within five business days of signing the Investment Advisory Contract. Thereafter, clients may terminate the pension consulting agreement immediately upon written notice. KF LLC uses an average of the daily balance in the client’s account throughout the billing period, after taking into account deposits and withdrawals, for purposes of determining the market value of the assets upon which the advisory fee is based. B. Payment of Fees Payment of Portfolio Management Fees Asset-based portfolio management fees are withdrawn directly from the client's accounts with client's written authorization on a quarterly basis. Fees are paid in arrears. In certain circumstances we may accept payment for portfolio management fees via check at KF LLC’s discretion. Payment of Financial Planning & Estate Transition Planning Fees Fixed fees are paid via check. Fees are paid 50% in advance and 50% upon delivery of the plan. Payment of Pension Consulting Fees Asset-based pension consulting fees are withdrawn directly from the client's accounts with client's written authorization on a quarterly basis. Fees are paid in arrears. 6  Payment of Selection of Other Advisers Fees Fees for selection of Morningstar Managed Portfolio as third-party adviser are withdrawn directly from the client's accounts with client's written authorization. Fees are paid quarterly in advance. C. Client Responsibility for Third Party Fees Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees (i.e. custodian fees, brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by KF LLC. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding broker- dealer/custodian. D. Prepayment of Fees KF LLC collects fees in arrears and in advance. Refunds for fees paid in advance will be returned within fourteen days to the client via check, or return deposit back into the client’s account. E. Outside Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients Courtenay Ann Wise and Glen Sherman Calkins are registered representatives of a broker-dealer. Courtenay Ann Wise is also an insurance agent. In these roles, they accept compensation for the sale of investment products to KF LLC clients. 1. This is a Conflict of Interest Supervised persons may accept compensation for the sale of investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds to KF LLC's clients. This presents a conflict of interest and gives the supervised person an incentive to recommend products based on the compensation received rather than on the client’s needs. When recommending the sale of investment products for which the supervised persons receive compensation, KF LLC will document the conflict of interest in the client file and inform the client of the conflict of interest. 2. Clients Have the Option to Purchase Recommended Products from Other Brokers Clients always have the option to purchase KF LLC recommended products through other brokers or agents that are not affiliated with KF LLC. 3. Commissions are not KF LLC's primary source of compensation for advisory services Commissions are not KF LLC’s primary source of compensation for advisory services. 7  4. Advisory Fees in Addition to Commissions or Markups Advisory fees that are charged to clients are not reduced to offset the commissions or markups on investment products recommended to clients. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management KF LLC does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client. Item 7: Types of Clients KF LLC generally provides advisory services to the following types of clients: ❖ ❖ ❖ ❖ Individuals High-Net-Worth Individuals Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans Charitable Organizations There is no account minimum for any of KF LLC’s services. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, & Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Methods of Analysis KF LLC’s methods of analysis include Fundamental analysis, Modern portfolio theory and Quantitative analysis. Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages. Modern portfolio theory is a theory of investment that attempts to maximize portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, each by carefully choosing the proportions of various asset. 8  Quantitative analysis deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative considerations such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the value of assets, the cost of capital, historical projections of sales, and so on. Investment Strategies KF LLC uses long term trading. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. B. Material Risks Involved Methods of Analysis Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value. Modern portfolio theory assumes that investors are risk averse, meaning that given two portfolios that offer the same expected return, investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an investor will take on increased risk only if compensated by higher expected returns. Conversely, an investor who wants higher expected returns must accept more risk. The exact trade-off will be the same for all investors, but different investors will evaluate the trade-off differently based on individual risk aversion characteristics. The implication is that a rational investor will not invest in a portfolio if a second portfolio exists with a more favorable risk-expected return profile – i.e., if for that level of risk an alternative portfolio exists which has better expected returns. Quantitative analysis Investment strategies using quantitative models may perform differently than expected as a result of, among other things, the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors’ historical trends, and technical issues in the construction and implementation of the models. Investment Strategies Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to its nature, the long-term investment strategy can expose clients to various types of risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk, interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk. Selection of Other Advisers: Although KF LLC will seek to select only money managers who will invest clients' assets with the highest level of integrity, KF LLC's selection process cannot ensure that money managers will perform as desired and KF LLC will have no control over the day-to-day operations of any of its selected money managers. KF LLC would not necessarily be aware of certain activities at the underlying money manager level, including without limitation 9  a money manager's engaging in unreported risks, investment “style drift” or even regulatory breaches or fraud. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. C. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized Clients should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any investment strategy. The investment types listed below (leaving aside Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds) are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature. Equity investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future payment of dividends and/or capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities may fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry conditions and the general economic environments. Fixed income investments generally pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments can vary. This type of investment can include corporate and government debt securities, leveraged loans, high yield, and investment grade debt and structured products, such as mortgage and other asset-backed securities, although individual bonds may be the best-known type of fixed income security. In general, the fixed income market is volatile and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of default on treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they carry a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal. Risks of investing in foreign fixed income securities also include the general risk of non-U.S. investing described below. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, similar to stocks. Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy). Areas of concern include the lack of transparency in products and increasing complexity, conflicts of interest and the possibility of inadequate regulatory compliance. Risks in investing in ETFs include trading risks, liquidity and shutdown risks, risks associated with a change in authorized participants and non-participation of authorized participants, risks that trading price differs from indicative net asset value (iNAV), or price fluctuation and disassociation from the index being tracked. With regard to trading risks, regular trading adds cost to your portfolio thus counteracting the low fees that one of the typical benefits of ETFs. Additionally, regular trading to beneficially “time the market” is difficult to achieve. Even paid fund managers struggle to do this every year, with the majority failing to beat the relevant indexes. With regard to liquidity and shutdown risks, not all ETFs have the same level of liquidity. Since ETFs are at least as liquid as their underlying assets, trading conditions are 10  more accurately reflected in implied liquidity rather than the average daily volume of the ETF itself. Implied liquidity is a measure of what can potentially be traded in ETFs based on its underlying assets. ETFs are subject to market volatility and the risks of their underlying securities, which may include the risks associated with investing in smaller companies, foreign securities, commodities, and fixed income investments (as applicable). Foreign securities in particular are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks, all of which are magnified in emerging markets. ETFs that target a small universe of securities, such as a specific region or market sector, are generally subject to greater market volatility, as well as to the specific risks associated with that sector, region, or other focus. ETFs that use derivatives, leverage, or complex investment strategies are subject to additional risks. Precious Metal ETFs (e.g., Gold, Silver, or Palladium Bullion backed “electronic shares” not physical metal) specifically may be negatively impacted by several unique factors, among them (1) large sales by the official sector which own a significant portion of aggregate world holdings in gold and other precious metals, (2) a significant increase in hedging activities by producers of gold or other precious metals, (3) a significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors. The return of an index ETF is usually different from that of the index it tracks because of fees, expenses, and tracking error. An ETF may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV) (or indicative value in the case of exchange-traded notes). The degree of liquidity can vary significantly from one ETF to another and losses may be magnified if no liquid market exists for the ETF’s shares when attempting to sell them. Each ETF has a unique risk profile, detailed in its prospectus, offering circular, or similar material, which should be considered carefully when making investment decisions. Annuities are a retirement product for those who may have the ability to pay a premium now and want to guarantee they receive certain monthly payments or a return on investment later in the future. Annuities are contracts issued by a life insurance company designed to meet requirement or other long-term goals. An annuity is not a life insurance policy. Variable annuities are designed to be long-term investments, to meet retirement and other long-range goals. Variable annuities are not suitable for meeting short-term goals because substantial taxes and insurance company charges may apply if you withdraw your money early. Variable annuities also involve investment risks, just as mutual funds do. Private placements carry a substantial risk as they are subject to less regulation than are publicly offered securities, the market to resell these assets under applicable securities laws may be illiquid, due to restrictions, and the liquidation may be taken at a substantial discount to the underlying value or result in the entire loss of the value of such assets. Non-U.S. securities present certain risks such as currency fluctuation, political and economic change, social unrest, changes in government regulation, differences in accounting and the lesser degree of accurate public information available. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. 11  Item 9: Disciplinary Information A. Criminal or Civil Actions There are no criminal or civil actions to report. B. Administrative Proceedings There are no administrative proceedings to report. C. Self-regulatory Organization (SRO) Proceedings There are no self-regulatory organization proceedings to report. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations A. Registration as a Broker/Dealer or Broker/Dealer Representative As a registered representative of WIS Financial Group, Inc. (“WIS”), Courtenay Ann Wise accepts compensation for the sale of securities. As a registered representative of WIS Financial Group, Inc. (“WIS”), Glen Sherman Calkins accepts compensation for the sale of securities. B. Registration as a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or a Commodity Trading Advisor Neither KF LLC nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to become either a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or Commodity Trading Advisor or an associated person of the foregoing entities. C. Registration Relationships Material to this Advisory Business and Possible Conflicts of Interests One or more persons affiliated with KF LLC are registered representatives of WIS Financial Group, Inc (“WIS”) member FINRA/SIPC and from time to time, they will offer clients advice or products from those activities. Clients should be aware that these services pay a commission or other compensation and involve a conflict of interest, as commissionable products conflict with the fiduciary duties of a registered investment adviser. KF LLC always acts in the best interest of the client, including with respect to the sale of commissionable products to advisory clients. 12  Clients are in no way required to implement the plan through any representative of KF LLC in such individual’s capacity as a registered representative. Also, while WIS is not responsible for the management, operations, or compliance programs of KF LLC, WIS conducts certain recordkeeping and oversight of KF LLC as required under FINRA rules. One or more persons affiliated with KF LLC are investment adviser representatives with WIS Financial Group, Inc. (“WIS”), a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission. From time to time, they may offer clients advice or products from those activities and clients should be aware that these services may involve a conflict of interest. KF LLC always acts in the best interest of the client and clients always have the right to decide whether or not to utilize the services of any KF LLC representative in such individuals outside capacities. Because of the affiliation with WIS, these persons may have three different but concurrent roles: • As an investment adviser representative of KF LLC who offers services outside of WIS • As an investment adviser representative of WIS who receives a fee for rendering advisory services (applicable only for states in which dual registration is permitted); and • As a registered person with WIS who receives commissions for recommending securities. Courtenay Ann Wise is an independent licensed insurance agent. This activity creates a conflict of interest since there is an incentive to recommend insurance products based on commissions or other benefits received from the insurance company, rather than on the client’s needs. Additionally, the offer and sale of insurance products by supervised persons of KF LLC are not made in their capacity as a fiduciary, and products are limited to only those offered by certain insurance providers. KF LLC addresses this conflict of interest by requiring its supervised persons to act in the best interest of the client at all times, including when acting as an insurance agent. KF LLC periodically reviews recommendations by its supervised persons to assess whether they are based on an objective evaluation of each client’s risk profile and investment objectives rather than on the receipt of any commissions or other benefits. KF LLC will disclose in advance how it or its supervised persons are compensated and will disclose conflicts of interest involving any advice or service provided. At no time will there be tying between business practices and/or services (a condition where a client or prospective client would be required to accept one product or service conditioned upon the selection of a second, distinctive tied product or service). No client is ever under any obligation to purchase any insurance product. Insurance products recommended by KF LLC’s supervised persons may also be available from other providers on more favorable terms, and clients can purchase insurance products recommended through other unaffiliated insurance agencies. D. Selection of Other Advisers or Managers and How This Adviser is Compensated for Those Selections KF LLC may direct clients to third-party investment advisers to manage all or a portion of the client's assets. KF LLC will be compensated via a fee share from the advisers to which it directs those clients. This relationship will be memorialized in each contract between KF LLC and each 13  third-party advisor. The fees shared will not exceed any limit imposed by any regulatory agency. This creates a conflict of interest in that KF LLC has an incentive to direct clients to the third-party investment advisers that provide KF LLC with a larger fee split. KF LLC will always act in the best interests of the client, including when determining which third-party investment adviser to recommend to clients. KF LLC will ensure that all recommended advisers are licensed or notice filed in the states in which KF LLC is recommending them to clients. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics KF LLC has a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases and Sales, Insider Trading, Personal Securities Transactions, Exempted Transactions, Prohibited Activities, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment, Confidentiality, Service on a Board of Directors, Compliance Procedures, Compliance with Laws and Regulations, Procedures and Reporting, Certification of Compliance, Reporting Violations, Compliance Officer Duties, Training and Education, Recordkeeping, Annual Review, and Sanctions. KF LLC's Code of Ethics is available free upon request to any client or prospective client. B. Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests KF LLC does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to KF LLC or KF LLC has a material financial interest. C. Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients From time to time, representatives of KF LLC may buy or sell securities for themselves that they also recommend to clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of KF LLC to buy or sell the same securities before or after recommending the same securities to clients resulting in representatives profiting off the recommendations they provide to clients. Such transactions may create a conflict of interest. KF LLC will always document any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and will never engage in trading that operates to the client’s disadvantage when similar securities are being bought or sold. D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’ Securities From time to time, representatives of KF LLC may buy or sell securities for themselves at or around the same time as clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of KF LLC to buy or sell securities before or after recommending securities to clients resulting in representatives profiting off the recommendations they provide to clients. Such transactions may create a conflict of interest; however, KF LLC will never engage in trading that operates to the 14  client’s disadvantage if representatives of KF LLC buy or sell securities at or around the same time as clients. Item 12: Brokerage Practices A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker/Dealers Custodians/broker-dealers will be recommended based on KF LLC’s duty to seek “best execution,” which is the obligation to seek execution of securities transactions for a client on the most favorable terms for the client under the circumstances. Clients will not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission equivalent, and KF LLC may also consider the market expertise and research access provided by the broker-dealer/custodian, including but not limited to access to written research, oral communication with analysts, admittance to research conferences and other resources provided by the brokers that may aid in KF LLC's research efforts. KF LLC will never charge a premium or commission on transactions, beyond the actual cost imposed by the broker-dealer/custodian. KF LLC will require clients to use Schwab Institutional, a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. 1. Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits KF LLC has access to research, products, or other services from its broker/dealer in connection with client securities transactions (“soft dollar benefits”) consistent with (and not outside of) the safe harbor contained in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and may consider these benefits in recommending brokers. There can be no assurance that any particular client will benefit from any particular soft dollar research or other benefits. KF LLC benefits by not having to produce or pay for the research, products or services, and KF LLC will have an incentive to recommend a broker dealer based on receiving research or services. Clients should be aware that KF LLC’s acceptance of soft dollar benefits may result in higher commissions charged to the client. 2. Brokerage for Client Referrals KF LLC receives no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that broker- dealer or third party. 3. Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use KF LLC will require clients to use a specific broker-dealer to execute transactions. Not all advisers require clients to use a particular broker-dealer. 15  B. Aggregating (Block) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts If KF LLC buys or sells the same securities on behalf of more than one client, then it may (but would be under no obligation to) aggregate or bunch such securities in a single transaction for multiple clients in order to seek more favorable prices, lower brokerage commissions, or more efficient execution. In such case, KF LLC would place an aggregate order with the broker on behalf of all such clients in order to ensure fairness for all clients; provided, however, that trades would be reviewed periodically to ensure that accounts are not systematically disadvantaged by this policy. KF LLC would determine the appropriate number of shares and select the appropriate brokers consistent with its duty to seek best execution, except for those accounts with specific brokerage direction (if any). Item 13: Review of Accounts A. Frequency and Nature of Periodic Reviews and Who Makes Those Reviews All client accounts for KF LLC's advisory services provided on an ongoing basis are reviewed at least Annually by Courtenay Wise, Managing Member, with regard to clients’ respective investment policies and risk tolerance levels. All accounts at KF LLC are assigned to this reviewer. B. Factors That Will Trigger a Non-Periodic Review of Client Accounts Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes in client's financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical move, or inheritance). C. Content and Frequency of Regular Reports Provided to Clients Each client of KF LLC's advisory services provided on an ongoing basis will receive a quarterly report detailing the client’s account, including assets held, asset value, and calculation of fees. This written report will come from the custodian. Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered to Clients (Includes Sales Awards or Other Prizes) KF LLC may receive compensation in connection with its use of third-party advisers. 16  With respect to Schwab, KF LLC receives access to Schwab’s institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the adviser’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. For KF LLC client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts. Schwab also makes available to KF LLC other products and services that benefit KF LLC but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or KF LLC specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of KF LLC by Schwab Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist KF LLC in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts, if applicable), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of KF LLC’s fees from its clients’ accounts (if applicable), and assist with back- office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting.
