I T E M 4 - A D V I S O R Y B U S I N E S S
This Disclosure document is being offered to you by Kilter Group LLC (“Firm” or “Kilter Group”) about the
investment advisory services we provide. It discloses information about our services and the way those
services are made available to you, the client.
We are an investment management firm located in Rhinebeck, NY. Kilter Group was registered with the
SEC in April 2024. Dyer B. McCabe, Jr. is the Managing Member of the firm. Andrea V. Farruggio is the
Chief Compliance Officer of the firm.
We are dedicated to assisting clients to build, grow, manage, and safeguard their wealth. Our aim is to
offer guidance that enables clients to realize their financial objectives effectively. Specializing in
investment for financial independence, which includes retirement investing and income replacement
strategies. We tailor our services to meet your specific needs. We offer an initial complimentary meeting
upon our discretion; however, our investment advisory services commence only after you and Kilter
Group execute an Investment Management Agreement, ensuring a clear and mutual understanding of
our partnership.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We manage advisory accounts on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. For discretionary
accounts, once we determine a client’s profile, income need, and investment plan, we execute the day-
to- day transactions with or without prior consent. Account supervision is guided by the client’s written
profile and investment plan. We may accept accounts with certain restrictions if circumstances warrant.
We primarily allocate client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”),
alternatives, cash, and individual debt (bonds) and equity securities in accordance with their stated
investment objectives. In some cases, our Firm does utilize pre-built portfolios for clients based on their
risk tolerance and time horizon.
In personal discussions with clients, we determine their objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance and
liquidity and income needs. As appropriate, we also review their prior investment history, as well as family
composition and background. Based on client needs, we develop the client’s personal profile and
investment plan. We then create and manage the client’s investments based on that policy and plan. It
is the client’s obligation to notify us immediately if circumstances have changed with respect to their
goals and income needs. As determined through our Firm’s initial due diligence with the client, we will
determine if clients are seeking an actively managed investment strategy for their account(s). Our Firm
will provide ongoing investment review and management services. This approach requires us to
periodically review client portfolios.
With our discretionary relationship, we will make changes to the portfolio, as we deem appropriate, to
meet your financial objectives. We trade these portfolios based on the combination of our market views
and your objectives, using our investment philosophy and strategies as described in Item 8 of this
Brochure. We tailor our advisory services to meet the needs of our clients and seek to ensure that your
portfolio is managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. You will have the ability to
leave standing instructions with us to refrain from investing in particular industries or invest in limited
amounts of securities.
With our non-discretionary relationship, calls will be placed presenting the recommendation made and
only upon your authorization will any action be taken on your behalf. We do have limited authority to
4
December 1, 2025
direct the Custodian to deduct our investment advisory fees from accounts, but only with the appropriate
written authorization from clients.
You are advised and are expected to understand that our past performance is not a guarantee of future
results. Certain market and economic risks exist that adversely affect an account’s performance. This
could result in capital losses in your account.
SUB-ADVISORY SERVICES
Our firm may determine that engaging the expertise of an independent sub-advisor is best suited for your
account. Our firm will have the discretion to utilize independent third-party investment advisor to aid in
the implementation of investment strategies for your portfolio. In certain circumstances, we may allocate
a portion of a portfolio to an independent third-party investment advisor (“Manager”) for separate account
management based upon your individual circumstances and objectives, including, but not limited to, your
account size and tax circumstances. Upon the recognition of such situations, in coordination with you,
we will hire a Manager for the management of those assets. These advisors shall assist our Firm in
managing the day‐to‐day investment operations of the various allocations, shall determine the
composition of the investments comprising the allocation, shall determine what securities and other
assets of the allocation will be acquired, held, disposed of or loaned in conformity with the written
investment objectives, policies and restrictions and other statements of each client comprising the
allocation, or as instructed by our Firm.
Managers selected for your investments need to meet several quantitative and qualitative criteria
established by us. Among the criteria that may be considered are the Manager’s experience, assets
under management, performance record, client retention, the level of client services provided, investment
style, buy and sell disciplines, capitalization level, and the general investment process.
You are advised and should understand that:
• A Manager’s past performance is no guarantee of future results;
• There is a certain market and/or interest rate risk which may adversely affect any Manager’s
objectives and strategies, and could cause a loss in a Client's account(s); and
• Client risk parameters or comparative index selections provided to our firm are guidelines only
and there is no guarantee that they will be met or not be exceeded.
Managers may take discretionary authority to determine the securities to be purchased and sold for the
client. As stated in the Discretionary Advisory Agreement, our Firm and its associated persons will have
discretionary authority to hire and fire the Manager. Our firm will work with the Manager to communicate
any trading restrictions or standing instructions to refrain from a particular industry requested by the
Client. In all cases, trading restrictions will depend on the Manager and their ability to accommodate
such restrictions.
All performance reporting will be the responsibility of the respective Manager. Such performance reports
will be provided directly to you and our firm. Disclosures will indicate what firm is providing the reporting.
Our Firm has entered into agreements with various independent Managers. All third-party Managers to
whom we will refer clients will be licensed as registered investment advisors by their resident state and
any applicable jurisdictions or registered investment advisors with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. A complete description of the Manager’s services, fee schedules and account minimums
will be disclosed in the Manager’s Form ADV or similar Disclosure Brochure.
5
December 1, 2025
We review the performance of our Managers on at least a quarterly basis. More frequent reviews may
be triggered by changes in Manager’s management, performance or geopolitical and macroeconomic
specific events. Our Firm only enters into only a select number of relationships with Managers. As
agreed upon between the Client, Manager and Kilter Group and outlined in the agreements with each
party, the Client will pay a portion of the overall advisory fee to the Manager directly from the Client
account or the Manager’s fee may be paid by our Firm. In either case, these fees are disclosed on the
Client account statement.
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Through the financial planning process, our team strives to engage our clients in conversations around
the family’s goals, objectives, priorities, vision, and legacy – both for the near term as well as for future
generations. With the unique goals and circumstances of each family in mind, our team will offer financial
planning ideas and strategies to address the client’s holistic financial picture, including estate, income
tax (Kilter Group is not a tax services Firm and you should always consult a tax professional), charitable,
cash flow, wealth transfer, and family legacy objectives. Our team partners with our client’s other advisors
(CPAs, Enrolled Agents, Estate Attorneys, Insurance Brokers, etc.) to ensure a coordinated effort of all
parties toward the client’s stated goals. Such services include various reports on specific goals and
objectives or general investment and/or planning recommendations, guidance to outside assets, and
periodic updates.
Our specific services in preparing your plan may include:
PERSONAL: We can review family records, budgeting, personal liability, estate information
and financial goals.
TAX & CASH FLOW: We can analyze the client's income tax and spending and planning for
past, current and future years; then illustrate the impact of various investments on the client's
current income tax and future tax liability. Keep in mind, Kilter Group is not a tax services
Firm, and clients should consult a tax professional for specific tax questions and advice.
INVESTMENTS: We can analyze investment alternatives and their effect on the client's
portfolio.
INSURANCE: We can review existing policies to ensure proper coverage for life, health,
disability, long-term care, liability, home and automobile.
RETIREMENT: We can analyze current strategies and investment plans to help the client
achieve his or her retirement goals.
DEATH & DISABILITY: We can review the client's cash needs at death, income needs of
surviving dependents, estate planning and disability income.
ESTATE: Some personnel that are appropriately licensed can assist the client in assessing
and developing long-term strategies, including as appropriate, living trusts, wills, review
estate tax, powers of attorney, asset protection plans, nursing homes, Medicaid and elder
law.
Access to a financial planning portal is provided in our financial planning services. This online portal
provides a current, and up-to-date overview of each client's situation.
ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES
Firm uses a third-party provider to provide a holistic estate planning solution that allows clients to create,
manage and administrate estate plans through a technology platform. This third-party provider facilitates
an optional hybrid model where clients can start the process digitally but still receive a human experience
6
December 1, 2025
by consulting live with one of the local Trust and Estate attorneys. This program allows clients to create
estate planning documents to action the legacy objectives that our firm will design together. Once
referred, the client enters the third-party platform and is guided through the document creation process
by the provider, not by Kilter Group. Though advisors can refer clients to the platform, Kilter Group and
its advisors are not involved with the drafting of the legal documents and do not have the ability to make
selections for the client. With Advisor only access, Kilter Group and its advisor representatives can
receive read-only visibility of the client account. This allows our advisors to assist clients in completing
the process of creating and monitoring for optimization opportunities.
RETIREMENT PLAN SPONSOR SERVICES
We offer pension consulting services to various types of pension plans, including, but not limited to, profit
sharing plans, employee stock ownership plans, 401(k) plans and 403(b). Collectively, we consider these
types of plans as a specific segment of our client base and in turn, we will refer to these types of plans
as “Pension Clients.” It is important to note, that some of our Pension Clients are governmental entities
and therefore have Non-ERISA retirement plans. In these cases, we use ERISA as a “best practice”
while managing their retirement plans.
Pursuant to Section 402(c)(3) of ERISA, the client may appoint us as the Plan’s “investment manager”
with respect to the Plan’s portfolio of investment options. We acknowledge that we are registered as an
investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and act as a “fiduciary”
within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA with respect to the Plan.
All retirement planning services are in compliance with any applicable State law(s) regulating the services
we provide. This section applies to an account that is a pension or other employee benefit plan (a “Plan”)
governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If your
account is part of a pension or other employee benefit plan (a “Plan”) governed by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and we accept appointment to provide
our services to Plan accounts, we acknowledge that we are a fiduciary within the meaning of Section
3(21) of ERISA as selected by each retirement plan client. You represent that (i) Our appointment and
services are consistent with the Plan documents, (ii) You have furnished us true and complete copies of
all documents establishing and governing the Plan and evidencing your authority to retain our firm. You
further represent that you will promptly furnish us with any amendments to the Plan, and you agree that,
if any amendment affects our rights or obligations, such amendment will be binding on us only with our
prior written consent. If your account contains only a part of the assets of the Plan, we will have no
responsibilities for the diversification of all the Plan’s investments, and we have no duty, responsibility or
liability for the assets that are not in the account.
Other than those briefly described above, there are several distinct activities that may be available under
our pension consulting services. These services may be provided separately or in combination with one
another. Although not all-inclusive, the following information will describe some of the activities offered
under our pension consulting services.
Preparation of Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”):
We may meet with a Pension Client to determine the relevant plan’s investment needs and goals. If
required by the Pension Client, we will then assist in preparing a written IPS stating those needs and
goals and encompassing a policy under which these goals are to be achieved. The IPS will also list the
criteria for selection of plan’s investment options/vehicles and the procedures and timing interval for
monitoring of investment performance.
Recommendation of Investment Options:
The number and type of investment options/vehicles to be recommended will be determined by the
Pension Client, based upon the plan’s stated needs. We will review various investments, consisting
predominantly of mutual funds (both index and managed) to determine which of these investments are
7
December 1, 2025
appropriate to implement the Pension Client’s IPS. Our review process will result in the recommendation
of specific investment options for the Pension Client to consider for inclusion in the list of plan investment
options.
Monitoring of Investment Performance:
A plan’s investment options will be monitored continuously based on the procedures and timing intervals
delineated in the IPS or as otherwise set forth by the Pension Client. Although we will not be involved in
any way in the purchase or sale of these investments, we will supervise the plan portfolio and will make
recommendations to the Pension Client as market factors and the plan’s needs dictate.
Plan Performance Reporting:
In conjunction with our monitoring activities, we may also provide periodic reports regarding the
performance of a pension plan and its underlying investment options. Such reports may include analysis
from both us as well as outside parties engaged by us to provide additional analysis in regard to such
plans. Such outside parties would be engaged exclusively by use and not by a Pension Client.
Employee Communications:
For Pension Clients whose plans offer plan participants the ability to self-direct their own investments,
we may also provide educational support and investment workshops designed for the plan participants.
The nature of the topics to be covered will be determined by us and in conjunction with a Pension Client
under the appropriate ERISA guidelines. The educational support and investment workshops will not be
designed so as to provide plan participants with individualized, tailored investment advice or
individualized, tailored asset allocation recommendations.
Advice to Participants:
We may also provide individualized advice to plan participants. This service includes a review of a
participant’s individual situation, including age, existing assets, financial goals and attitude towards risk,
and recommending an allocation of assets offered by the plan based on this information. Unless
separately engaged to do so by a plan participant, we will not monitor a plan participant’s situation or
otherwise supervise or consult on the ongoing management of a participant’s assets within the plan or
otherwise.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING ROLLOVER RECOMMENDATIONS
When a client or prospect leaves an employer, they typically have five options regarding their existing
retirement plan: (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted; (ii) roll over the assets to
the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted; (iii) rollover to a brokerage (self-
directed) Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”); (iv) roll over the assets to an advisory IRA; or (v) cash
out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax
consequences). Clients contemplating rolling over retirement funds to an IRA for us to manage are
encouraged to first speak with their CPA or tax attorney.
There is an inherent financial incentive for your IAR to recommend that you roll over your assets into one
or more accounts, because the enrollment will generate compensation based on the increase in your
IAR’s total assets under management. We address these financial compensation conflicts by including
the disclosure of the conflicts in this brochure and by requiring your IAR to recommend investment
advisory programs, investment securities, and services that are in the best interest of each client based
upon the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial situation, and cost. As fiduciaries of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of
yours. At the same time, the way Kilter Group makes money creates some conflicts with your interests.
Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to complete the rollover. Furthermore, if the
8
December 1, 2025
client does complete the rollover, the client is under no obligation to have the assets in an account
managed by us.
CONSULTING SERVICES
We also provide clients investment advice on a more-limited basis on one-or-more isolated areas of
concern such as estate planning, real estate, retirement planning, or any other specific topic. Additionally,
we provide advice on non-securities matters about the rendering of estate planning, insurance, real
estate, and/or annuity advice or any other business advisory / consulting services for equity or debt
investments in privately held businesses. For business owners, our Firm does offer consulting and
specializes in generational transitions, sale preparation, and exit planning.
WRAP FEE PROGRAM
Kilter Group does not offer a Wrap Program.
ASSETS
As of December 31, 2024, Kilter Group has $199,190,789 of discretionary assets under management
and $2,889,726 of non-discretionary assets under management.
I T E M 5 - F E E S A N D C O M P E N S A T I O N
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT & FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
Kilter Group charges a fee as compensation for providing Investment Management services. These
services include advisory and consulting services, trade entry, investment supervision, and other
account-maintenance activities. Your custodian may charge transaction costs, custodial fees, redemption
fees, retirement plan and administrative fees or commissions. See Additional Fees and Expenses below
for additional details.
Kilter Group’s annual fees are based upon a percentage of assets under management not to exceed
1.90%. Investment advisory fees of Kilter Group are charged based on a percentage of assets under
management, billed monthly in arrears and calculated based on the average daily balance of the Account
during the current billing period. If services commenced in the middle of the billing period, fees are
prorated for that billing period.
Our Firm bills monthly for its financial planning services and access to an online financial planning
software portal. Fees range from $99 to $500/month. This fee is accessed to clients who elect this
service on the executed Agreement with our Firm. This financial planning fee is in addition to the
investment management fees described above.
Although Kilter Group has established a maximum annual fee as stated above, we retain the discretion
to negotiate alternative fees on a client-by-client basis. Client facts, circumstances and needs are
considered in determining the fee schedule. These factors include the complexity of the client, assets to
be placed under management, anticipated future additional assets, related accounts, portfolio style,
account composition, reports, among others. The specific annual fee schedule is identified in the contract
between the adviser and the client. Fees are assessed on all assets under management, including
securities, cash and money market balances. When invested in a managed model there is typically a
small percentage invested in cash as part of that model. That “cash” will be included in the AUM fee.
Cash held in other types of accounts, such as a stand-alone money market, a “contribution distribution
9
December 1, 2025
sleeve” or “non-managed” account (used for purposes of scheduled distributions or flexibility of
withdrawals) is “not” included in the fee.
At our discretion, we may aggregate asset amounts in accounts from your same household together to
determine the advisory fee for all your accounts. We may do this, for example, where we also service
accounts on behalf of your minor children, individual and joint accounts for a spouse, and/or other types
of related accounts. This consolidation practice is designed to allow the client the benefit of an increased
asset total, which could potentially cause your account(s) to be assessed a lower advisory fee based on
the asset levels under management with Kilter Group.
The independent qualified custodian holding your funds and securities will debit your account directly for
the advisory fee and pay that fee to us. The client will provide written authorization permitting the fees to
be paid directly from the account held by the qualified custodian. Further, the qualified custodian agrees
to deliver an account statement at least quarterly directly to client indicating all the amounts deducted
from the account including our advisory fees. Refer to Item 15 for details. Clients are encouraged to
review your account statements for accuracy.
Either Kilter Group or the client may terminate the management agreement immediately upon written
notice to the other party. The management fee will be pro-rated to the date of termination. Upon
termination, the client is responsible for monitoring the securities in your account, and we will have no
further obligation to act or advise with respect to those assets.
Fees for our financial planning portal and services can be paid via credit card. Credit cards will be
invoiced and processed through an unaffiliated, third-party vendor. Clients will be asked to set up their
credit card at the third-party entity to enable credit card payments. While the third-party entity allows firms
like Kilter Group to receive payments directly from the client’s credit card, it does not give Kilter Group
access to the credit card account itself. Kilter Group is not able to initiate any additional payments via
third-party vendor as agreed upon and outlined in the Agreement.
SUB-ADVISOR FEES
As discussed in Item 4 above, there will be occasions where an independent Registered Investment
Advisory firm acts as a sub-advisor / Manager to our Firm. In those circumstances, the other investment
advisor manages the assets based upon the parameters provided by our Firm. The independent sub-
advisor / Manager will charge an asset-based fee that is in addition to the advisory fee listed above and
not to exceed 1.00%. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with the Manager, will be provided
with the Manager’s Form ADV Part 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures). The
Manager’s fee may include the securities transaction fees for all trades. Refer to the Managers firm
disclosure brochures for more information on the fees associated to each Manager. Kilter will only receive
its investment advisory fees as detailed above and does not share in any fees earned by the Manager.
In the event that a client should wish to terminate their relationship with Manager, the terms for the
termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and that Independent
Manager. Kilter Group will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
In no case are our fees based on, or related to, the performance of your funds or investments.
ESTATE PLANNING SERVICE FEES
Estate Planning document creation services through our third-party are offered for a separate fee. Clients
who utilize the estate planning services will be charged a flat fee ranging between $800 - $1,200, as
defined in the Financial Planning Services Agreement.
10
December 1, 2025
ESTATE PLANNING FEE PAYMENT OPTIONS
Estate Planning fees will be invoiced and paid through a third-party nonaffiliated service, AdvicePay.
Clients will be asked to set up their bank account or credit card at AdvicePay to enable credit card or
ACH payments. While AdvicePay allows firms like Kilter to receive payments directly from the client’s
credit card or bank account, it does not give Kilter access to the bank account itself, nor to any of the
client’s credit card or bank account information. Kilter is not able to initiate any additional payments via
AdvicePay as agreed upon and outlined in the Agreement.
PENSION CONSULTING SERVICE FEES (STAND-ALONE SERVICE)
Kilter Group offers consulting services for qualified plans including 401(k), 403(b), profit sharing, money
purchase, defined benefit plans, 457(b) and 457(f) plans.
Pension consulting service fees will be in addition to investment advisory fees and the all-in fee will not
exceed 1.90%.
Kilter Group 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 assets upon
which the advisory fee is based. These fees are generally negotiable, and the final fee will be
memorialized in the client’s advisory agreement.
Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full refund of Kilter Group’s fees within five
business days of signing the pension consulting agreement. Thereafter, clients may terminate the
pension consulting agreement immediately upon written notice. Kilter Group 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.
In addition to our service fees, the client may be assessed other fees by parties independent from us.
You may also incur, relative to certain investment products (such as mutual funds), charges imposed
directly at the investment product level (i.e. advisory fees, administrative fees, and other fund expenses.)
Brokerage fees/commissions charged to you for securities trade executions may be billed to you by the
broker-dealer or custodian of record for your account, not us. Any such fees are exclusive of, and in
addition to our compensation. You will be solely and directly responsible for all fees, including fees other
than those we may bill directly to you.
For the service described above, we receive our service fees by automatic fee deduction via the custodian
of direct invoice to you.
Billing Via Custodian:
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Plan Sponsor Advisory Agreement, you will be asked to
sign an authorization that will allow the custodian of any of your account(s) to debit the account(s) the
amount of our service fees and remit the fee to us. The authorization will remain valid unless and until
we receive a written revocation of such authorization from you. In connection with this fee deduction
process, the custodian will send you a statement, at least quarterly, indicating:
• all amounts disbursed from the account, and
• the amount of advisory fees paid directly to us.
Direct Billing:
If so desired, you may choose to be billed directly by us for our service fees. If so chosen, you will be
invoiced by the fifth business day of the month subsequent to the most recently ended billing period.
Payments are due on or by the final business day of the month in which the invoice is generated. The
Adviser will send, to client, a copy of the invoice at the same time it is sent to the custodian. Additionally,
11
December 1, 2025
the invoice will include the formula and fee calculation that the Client will be charged.
Specific fee arrangements will be set forth in the Plan Sponsor Advisory Agreement with Kilter Group.
CONSULTING
Kilter Group provides consulting services for clients who need advice on a limited scope of work. Kilter
Group will negotiate consulting fees with you. Fees may vary based on the extent and complexity of the
consulting project. Fees will be billed as services are rendered. Either party may terminate the agreement.
Upon termination, fees will be prorated to the date of termination and any unearned portion of the fee will
be refunded to you as described above.
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
We have contracted with various non-affiliated, third-party entities to utilize their technology platforms to
support data reconciliation, performance reporting, fee calculation and billing, research, client database
maintenance, quarterly performance evaluations, payable reports, web site administration, models,
trading platforms, and other functions related to the administrative tasks of managing client accounts.
Due to this arrangement, the third-party entity will have access to information on the client accounts, but
the third-party entity will not serve as an investment advisor to our clients. Kilter Group and the third-party
entities are non-affiliated companies. The third-party entities charge our Firm an annual fee for each
account administered by each third-party entity. Please note that the fee charged to the client will not
increase due to the annual fee Kilter Group pays to the third-party entity, the annual fee is paid from the
portion of the management fee retained by Kilter Group.
OTHER ADDITIONAL FEES
Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may (or may not) be
available from other registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
Mutual Fund Fees: Mutual funds often offer multiple share classes with differing internal fee and expense
structures. Kilter Group endeavors to identify and utilize the share class with the lowest internal fee and
expense structure for each mutual fund. However, instances occur in which the lowest cost share class
is not used. These instances include but are not limited to: Instances in which a certain custodian has a
share class available that has a lower internal fee and expense structure than is available for the same
mutual fund at other custodians. In such instances, Kilter Group will select the lowest cost share class
available at the custodian that holds your account even though a lower cost share class is available at
another custodian. Instances in which the custodian that holds your account offers others a share class
with a lower internal fee and expense structure than what is available to Kilter Group at the same
custodian. In such instances, Kilter Group will select the lowest cost share class that the custodian makes
available. This situation sometimes occurs because the custodian places conditions on the availability of
the lower cost share class that Kilter Group has determined are not appropriate to accept due to additional
costs imposed by said conditions. Instances in which a share class with a lower internal fee and expense
structure becomes available after the share class you hold was purchased. Kilter Group periodically
monitors this circumstance. However, a share class with a lower internal fee may become available
between the time of your purchase and Kilter Group’s next review. Instances in which a share class with
a lower internal fee and expense structure than the share class you currently hold is available at your
custodian, but where Kilter Group is prevented by either the custodian or the fund sponsor from
converting to the lower cost share class. Additionally, Kilter Group does not convert to a share class with
12
December 1, 2025
a lower internal fee and expense structure if the conversion will cause a taxable event or other
expense/cost to you that negates the advantage of the lower cost share class.
Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) Mutual Funds: When selecting investments for our clients’ portfolios we
might choose mutual funds on your account custodian’s Non-Transaction Fee (NTF) list. This means that
your account custodian will not charge a transaction fee or commission associated with the purchase or
sale of the mutual fund. The mutual fund companies that choose to participate in your custodian’s NTF
fund program pay a fee to be included in the NTF program. The fee that a mutual fund company pays to
participate in the program is ultimately borne by the owners of the mutual fund including clients of our
Firm. When we decide whether to choose a fund from your custodian’s NTF list or not, we consider our
expected holding period of the fund, the position size and the expense ratio of the fund versus alternative
funds. Depending on our analysis and future events, NTF funds might not always be in your best interest.
Regulatory Fees: To facilitate the execution of trades, regulatory Trading Activity Fees (TAF) are added
to applicable sales transactions. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory fee is
assessed on client accounts for sell transactions, and a FINRA fee is assessed on client accounts for sell
transactions, for certain covered securities. This fee is not charged by our Firm but is accessed and
collected by the custodian. The Custodian that our Firm uses, is a FINRA member firm. These fees
recover the costs incurred by the SEC and FINRA, for supervising and regulating the securities markets
and securities professionals. The fee rates vary depending on the type of transaction and the size of that
transaction. For more information on the SEC and FINRA fees, please visit their websites:
www.sec.gov/fast-answers/answerssec31htm.html or www.finra.org/industry/trading-activity-fee.

Kilter Group takes a macro-environmental approach to tactical asset allocation with sector rotation and
uses a relative growth/value framework in determining sub-asset classes. This top-down method allows
Kilter Group to assess the investing landscape and provide recommendations as to when and where it
may be advantageous to modify exposures within the asset classes, market segments, and sectors.
13
December 1, 2025
GROWTH STRATEGIES: Kilter Group’s growth strategies consist of investments spanning a broad
range of asset classes that are selected for their long-term risk/return characteristics as well as their
correlation to the overall markets and appropriateness for each client’s portfolio. The resulting blended
allocation is used as the foundation for the client's growth portfolio. Portfolio rebalancing is discretionary
and will be based on individual portfolio considerations. There is no guarantee as to the number of times
a portfolio is rebalanced each year. Other asset classes and opportunistic investments are added to the
growth portfolio to create a customized allocation that is appropriate for client’s investment objectives,
time horizon, and risk tolerance. Examples of investments which may be included as part of Kilter Group’s
growth strategies include individual equities and exchange traded funds (ETFs).
FIXED INCOME STRATEGIES: Fixed income investments such as bonds, notes, and certificates of
deposit are intended to provide diversification, generate income, and to preserve and protect assets.
Generally, the stabilizing influence of fixed income comes at the cost of lower returns relative to growth
investments. Kilter Group’s fixed income portfolios generally consist of high quality domestically issued
bonds, both taxable and tax-free. Examples of investments which may be included as part of Kilter
Group’s fixed income strategies include individual government, municipal, and corporate bonds,
certificates of deposits, exchange traded funds (ETFs), and money markets.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS
While there may be some similarities in the portfolios created by our Firm, we understand that every client
has their own unique planning needs. We have the ability and flexibility to create portfolios to help our
client achieve their goals. We may utilize the following forms of analysis:
Fundamental Analysis: We attempt to measure the intrinsic value of a security by looking at
economic and financial factors (including the overall economy, industry conditions, and the
financial condition and management of the company itself) to determine if the company is
underpriced (indicating it may be a good time to buy) or overpriced (indicating it may be time to
sell). Fundamental analysis does not attempt to anticipate market movements. This presents a
potential risk, as the price of a security can move up or down along with the overall market
regardless of the economic and financial factors considered in evaluating the stock.
Quantitative Analysis: We use mathematical ratios and other performance appraisal methods
in an attempt to obtain more accurate measurements of a model manager’s investment acumen,
idea generation, consistency of purpose and overall ability to outperform their stated benchmark
throughout a full market cycle. Additionally, we perform periodic measurements to assess the
authenticity of returns. A risk in using quantitative analysis is that the models used may be based
on assumptions that prove to be incorrect.
Technical Analysis: We use this method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics
generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt
to measure a security's intrinsic value but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns
that can suggest future activity. Technical analysts believe that the historical performance of
stocks and markets are indications of future performance. Technical analysis is even more
subjective than fundamental analysis in that it relies on proper interpretation of a given security's
price and trading volume data. A decision might be made based on a historical move in a certain
direction that was accompanied by heavy volume; however, that heavy volume may only be heavy
relative to past volume for the security in question but not compared to the future trading volume.
Therefore, there is the risk of a trading decision being made incorrectly, since future trading
14
December 1, 2025
volume is unknown. Technical analysis is also done through observation of various market
sentiment readings, many of which are quantitative. Market sentiment gauges the relative degree
of bullishness and bearishness in a given security, and a contrarian investor utilizes such
sentiment advantageously. When most traders are bullish, then there are very few traders left in
a position to buy the security in question, so it becomes advantageous to sell it ahead of the
crowd. When most traders are bearish, then there are very few traders left in a position to sell the
security in question, so it becomes advantageous to buy it ahead of the crowd. The risk in
utilization of such sentiment technical measures is that a very bullish reading can always become
more bullish, resulting in lost opportunity if the money manager chooses to act upon the bullish
signal by selling out of a position. The reverse is also true in that a bearish reading of sentiment
can always become more bearish, which may result in a premature purchase of a security.
Asset Allocation: Rather than focusing primarily on securities selection, we attempt to identify
an appropriate ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash suitable to the client’s investment goals
and risk tolerance. A risk of asset allocation is that the client may not participate in sharp increases
in a particular security, industry or market sector. Another risk is that the ratio of securities, fixed
income, and cash will change over time due to stock and market movements and, if not corrected,
will no longer be appropriate for the client’s goals.
NITROGEN
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the client during
consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Each client executes a Risk Tolerance
questionnaire that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. We utilize a third-
party risk analysis platform (Nitrogen formerly Riskalyze) whereby we can set the criteria for each client’s
risk tolerance and help align the client’s risk profile with an appropriate portfolio.
To develop a complete picture of a client’s investment objectives, our investment adviser representatives
work one-on-one with the advisory client through the initial and on-going planning process to create an
investment plan which fits the client’s risk tolerance and investment objectives. Based on this information,
we obtain a broad understanding of the client’s investment objectives, goals, and the amount of risk the
client will tolerate. To further fine tune our understanding of a client’s risk tolerance, our Firm does utilize
Nitrogen, a third-party vendor tool to assist in identifying the client’s risk tolerance.
Nitrogen technology assists financial planners in two critical tasks: (1) measuring the risk preferences of
investors, and (2) applying these preference measurements to portfolio selection. Nitrogen summarizes
an investor’s mean-variance risk aversion on a 99-point scale. In connection with this output, the Nitrogen
tool “quantifies” the client’s indicated investment risk tolerance through the illustration of expected return
(plus/minus) and investment volatility (investment variance) which uses past data to calculate expected
variance.
Our Firm works with Nitrogen to customize client portfolios using a combination of existing holdings and
recommended allocation strategies to provide the client with the desired risk score. Once the Risk Score
is identified, our Firm prepares a strategy, which is also scored by Nitrogen tools. Generally, clients are
recommended a mixture of strategies with various allocations, including strategies which focus on fixed
income, growth, balanced, moderate, or aggressive investments, which correlate to the client’s risk score.
Our goal is to stay within 5-10 points of the desired range for any given account but at times the portfolio
may deviate if there is extreme market events or the account holds legacy investments on behalf of the
15
December 1, 2025
client or for tax reasons. We seek to go beyond a traditional asset allocation strategy by incorporating
investments on each end of the risk spectrum.
MUTUAL FUND SHARE CLASS
Generally, our Firm does not recommend mutual funds holdings in our client portfolios/investment
strategies, however, some clients may hold mutual funds in their accounts for various reasons including
tax strategies or legacy assets. If we need to render advice on mutual fund holdings, our Firm will
purchase institutional share classes of those mutual funds. The institutional share class generally has
the lowest expense ratio. The expense ratio is the annual fee that all mutual funds or ETFs charge their
shareholders. It expresses the percentage of assets deducted each fiscal year for a fund’s expenses,
including 12b-1 fees, management fees, administrative fees, operating costs, and all other asset-based
costs incurred by the fund. Some fund families offer different classes of the same fund, and one share
class may have a lower expense ratio than another share class. These expenses come from client assets
which could impact the client’s account performance. Mutual fund expense ratios are in addition to our
fee, and we do not receive any portion of these charges. If an institutional share class is not available for
the mutual fund selected, the adviser will purchase the least expensive share class available for the
mutual fund. As share classes with lower expense ratios become available, we may use them in the
client’s portfolio, and/or convert the existing mutual fund position to the lower cost share class. Clients
who transfer mutual funds into their accounts with our Firm would bear the expense of any contingent or
deferred sales loads incurred upon selling the product. If a mutual fund has a frequent trading policy, the
policy can limit a client’s transactions in shares of the fund (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations, deposits,
or tax harvesting). All mutual fund expenses and fees are disclosed in the respective mutual fund
prospectus.
RISK OF LOSS
A client’s investment portfolio is affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest
rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic conditions, changes in laws and national and
international political circumstances.
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value.
Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Kilter Group will assist Clients in determining
an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client’s investment goals, financial situation, time
horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client’s
account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested
information, is essential for the analysis of a Client’s account(s). Kilter Group shall rely on the financial
and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate
the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform
Kilter Group of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis.
Our methods rely on the assumption that the underlying companies within our security allocations are
accurately reviewed by the rating agencies and other publicly available sources of information about
these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications that data
may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or
misleading information.
Investors should be aware that accounts are subject to the following risks:
16
December 1, 2025
MARKET RISK: Even a long-term investment approach cannot guarantee a profit. Economic, political, and
issuer-specific events will cause the value of securities to rise or fall. Because the value of investment
portfolios will fluctuate, there is the risk that you will lose money and your investment may be worth more
or less upon liquidation.
FOREIGN SECURITIES AND CURRENCY RISK: Investments in international and emerging-market securities
include exposure to risks such as currency fluctuations, foreign taxes and regulations, and the potential
for illiquid markets and political instability.
CAPITALIZATION RISK: Small-cap and mid-cap companies may be hindered as a result of limited resources
or less diverse products or services. These stocks have historically been more volatile than the stocks of
larger, more established companies.
INTEREST RATE RISK: In a rising rate environment, the value of fixed-income securities generally declines,
and the value of equity securities may be adversely affected.
CREDIT RISK: Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security may be unable to make interest payments
and/or repay principal when due. A downgrade to an issuer’s credit rating or a perceived change in an
issuer’s financial strength may affect a security’s value and thus, impact the fund’s performance.
LIQUIDITY RISK: Liquidity risk is the risk that there may be limited buyers for a security when an investor
wants to sell. Typically, this results in a discounted sale price in order to attract a buyer.
DEFAULT RISK: A default occurs when an issuer fails to make payment on a principal or interest payment.
EVENT RISK: Event risk is difficult to predict because it may involve natural disasters such as earthquakes
or hurricanes, as well as changes in circumstance from regulators or political bodies.
POLITICAL RISK: Political risk is the risk associated with the laws of the country, or to events that may
occur there. Particular political events such as a government’s change in policy could restrict the flow of
capital.
DURATION RISK: Duration is a way to measure a bond's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The
duration of a bond is determined by its maturity date, coupon rate, and call feature. Duration is a method
to compare how different bonds will react to interest rate changes. If a bond has a duration of five (5)
years it means that the value of that security will decline by approximately five percent (5%) for every one
percent (1%) increase in interest rates.
REINVESTMENT RISK: Reinvestment risk is the risk that future interest and principal payments may be
reinvested at lower yields due to declining interest rates.
TAX RISK: For municipal bonds, depending on the client’s state of residence, the interest earned on
certain bonds may not be tax-exempt at the state level. Also, changes in federal tax policy may impact
the tax treatment of interest and capital gains of an investment.
REGULATORY RISK: Market participants are subject to rules and regulations imposed by one or more
regulators. Changes to these rules and regulations could have an adverse effect on the value of an
investment.
CONCENTRATION RISK: The risk of amplified losses that may occur from having a large portion of your
holdings in a particular investment, asset class or market segment relative to your overall portfolio.
17
December 1, 2025
SECURITIES LENDING RISK: Securities lending involves the risk that the fund loses money because the
borrower fails to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. The fund could also lose money if the
value of the collateral provided for loaned securities, or the value of the investments made with the cash
collateral, falls. These events could also trigger adverse tax consequences for the fund.

EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS: ETFs face market-trading risks, including the potential lack of an active
the
market
creation/redemption process of the ETF. Any of these factors may lead to the fund’s shares trading at
either a premium or a discount to its “net asset value.”
CYBERSECURITY RISK: In addition to the Material Investment Risks listed above, investing involves various
operational and “cybersecurity” risks. These risks include both intentional and unintentional events at our
Firm or one of its third-party counterparties or service providers, that may result in a loss or corruption of
data, result in the unauthorized release or other misuse of confidential information, and generally
compromise our firm’s ability to conduct its business. A cybersecurity breach may also result in a third-
party obtaining unauthorized access to our clients’ information, including social security numbers, home
addresses, account numbers, account balances, and account holdings. Our Firm has established
business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to reduce the risks associated with
cybersecurity breaches. However, there are inherent limitations in these plans and systems, including
that certain risks may not have been identified, in large part because different or unknown threats may
emerge in the future. As such, there is no guarantee that such efforts will succeed, especially because
our Firm does not directly control the cybersecurity systems of our third-party service providers. There is
also a risk that cybersecurity breaches may not be detected.
COMMODITIES RISK: Exposure to commodities in Adviser Clients accounts is in non-physical form, such
as ETFs or mutual funds, there are risks associated with the movement in gold prices and the ability of
the fund or trust manager to respond or deal with those price movements. There also may be initial
charges as well as annual management fees associated with the fund or trust.
EXCHANGE-TRADED FUND (“ETF”) AND MUTUAL FUND RISK: Investments in ETFs and mutual funds have
unique characteristics, including, but not limited to, the ETF or mutual fund’s expense structure. Investors
of ETFs and mutual funds held within Kilter Group client accounts bear both their Kilter Group portfolio’s
advisory expenses and, indirectly, the ETF’s or mutual fund’s expenses. Because the expenses and
costs of an underlying ETF or mutual fund are shared by its investors, redemptions by other investors in
the ETF or mutual fund could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses
for such ETF or mutual fund. Additionally, the ETF or mutual fund may not achieve its investment
objective. Actively managed ETFs or mutual funds may experience significant drift from their stated
benchmark.
OPTION RISK: Variable degree of risk. Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. Purchasers and
sellers of options should familiarize themselves with the type of option (i.e., put or call) which they
contemplate trading and the associated risks. Traders of options should calculate the extent to which the
value of the options must increase for the position to become profitable, taking into account the premium
and all transaction costs.
• The purchaser of options may offset or exercise the options or allow the options to expire. The
exercise of an option results either in a cash settlement or in the purchaser acquiring or delivering the
underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the purchaser will acquire a futures position with
associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures below). If the purchased options expire
18
December 1, 2025
worthless, the purchaser will suffer a total loss of the investment. In purchasing deep out-of-the-
money options, the purchaser should be aware that the chance of such options becoming profitable
ordinarily is remote.
• Selling ("writing" or "granting") an option generally entails considerably greater risk than purchasing
options. Although the premium received by the seller is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in
excess of that amount. The seller will be liable for additional margin to maintain the position if the
market moves unfavorably. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the
option and the seller being obligated to either settle the option in cash or to acquire or deliver the
underlying interest. If the option is on a future, the seller will acquire a position in a future with
associated liabilities for margin (see the section on Futures below). If the option is "covered" by the
seller holding a corresponding position in the underlying interest or a future or another option, the risk
may be reduced. If the option is not covered, the risk of loss can be unlimited.
• Certain exchanges in some jurisdictions permit deferred payment of the option premium, exposing
the purchaser to liability for margin payments not exceeding the amount of the premium. The
purchaser is still subject to the risk of losing the premium and transaction costs. When the option is
exercised or expires, the purchaser is responsible for any unpaid premium outstanding at that time.
DIGITAL CURRENCY: Our Firm’s use of digital currency in a client portfolio is limited only to publicly traded
securities that passively or actively invest in digital currency assets. The shares of certain products are
also publicly quoted on OTC Markets and shares that have become unrestricted in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the SEC may be bought and sold throughout the day through any brokerage
account. Cryptocurrency (notably, bitcoin), often referred to as “virtual currency”, “digital currency,” or
“digital assets,” operates as a decentralized, peer-to-peer financial exchange and value storage that is
used like money. If deemed appropriate, Clients may have exposure to bitcoin, a cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency operates without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government.
Cryptocurrencies (i.e., bitcoin) may experience very high volatility. Cryptocurrency is also not legal
tender. Federal, state, or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrency, and
regulation in the U.S. is still developing. The SEC has issued a public report stating U.S. federal securities
laws require treating some digital assets as securities. Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or
permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers, or malware. Due to its relatively recent
launch, bitcoin has a limited trading history, making it difficult for investors to evaluate investments in this
cryptocurrency. It is possible that another entity could manipulate the blockchain in a manner that is
detrimental to the bitcoin network. Bitcoin transactions are irreversible such that an improper transfer can
only be undone by the receiver of the bitcoin agreeing to return the bitcoin to the original sender. Digital
assets are highly dependent on their developers and there is no guarantee that development will continue
or that developers will not abandon a project with little or no notice. Third parties may assert intellectual
property claims relating to the holding and transfer of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, and their
source code. Any threatened action that reduces confidence in a network’s long-term ability to hold and
transfer cryptocurrency may affect investments in cryptocurrencies. Investments in the products are
speculative investments that involve high degrees of risk, including a partial or total loss of invested funds.
The shares of each product are intended to reflect the price of the digital asset(s) held by such product
(based on digital asset(s) per share), less such product’s expenses and other liabilities. Because each
product does not currently operate a redemption program, there can be no assurance that the value of
such product’s shares will reflect the value of the assets held by such product, less such product’s
expenses and other liabilities, and the shares of such product, if traded on any secondary market, may
trade at a substantial premium over, or a substantial discount to, the value of the assets held by such

NON-LIQUID ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS: From time to time, our Firm will recommend to certain qualifying
clients that a portion of such clients’ assets be invested in private funds, private fund-of-funds and/or
other alternative investments (collectively, “Nonliquid Alternative Investments”). Nonliquid Alternative
Investments are not suitable for all of our Firm’s clients and are offered only to those qualifying clients for
whom our Firm believes such an investment is suitable and in line with their overall investment strategy.
Nonliquid Alternative Investments typically are available to only a limited number of sophisticated
investors who meet the definition of “accredited investor” under Regulation D of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or “qualified client” under the Investment Advisors Act of 1940,
or “qualified purchaser” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Nonliquid Alternative Investments
present special risks for our Firm’s clients, including without limitation, limited liquidity, higher fees and
expenses, volatile performance, no assurance of investment returns, heightened risk of loss, limited
transparency, additional reliance on underlying management of
tax
considerations, subjective valuations, use of leverage and limited regulatory oversight. When a Nonliquid
Alternative Investment invests part or all of its assets in real estate properties, there are additional risks
that are unique to real estate investing, including but not limited to: limitations of the appraisal value; the
borrower’s financial conditions (if the underlying property has been obtained by a loan), including the risk
of foreclosures on the property; neighborhood values; the supply of and demand for properties of like
kind; and certain city, state and/or federal regulations. Additionally, real estate investing is also subject
to possible loss due to uninsured losses from natural and man-made disasters. The above list is not
exhaustive of all risks related to an investment in Nonliquid Alternative Investments. A more
comprehensive discussion of the risks associated with a particular Nonliquid Investment is set forth in
that fund’s offering documents, which will be provided to each client subscribing to a Nonliquid Alternative
Investment, for review and consideration. It is important that each potential, qualified investor carefully
read each offering or private placement memorandum prior to investing.
STRUCTURED NOTES: Structured products are designed to facilitate highly customized risk- return
objectives. While structured products come in many different forms, they typically consist of a debt
security that is structured to make interest and principal payments based upon various assets, rates, or
formulas. Many structured products include an embedded derivative component. Structured products
may be structured in the form of a security, in which case these products may receive benefits provided
under federal securities law, or they may be cast as derivatives, in which case they are offered in the
over-the-counter market and are subject to no regulation. Investment in structured products includes
significant risks, including valuation, liquidity, price, credit, and market risks. One common risk associated
with structured products is a relative lack of liquidity due to the highly customized nature of the investment.
Moreover, the full extent of returns from the complex performance features is often not realized until
maturity. As such, structured products tend to be more of a buy-and-hold investment decision rather than
a means of getting in and out of a position with speed and efficiency. Another risk with structured products
is the credit quality of the issuer. Although the cash flows are derived from other sources, the products
themselves are legally considered to be the issuing financial institution’s liabilities. The vast majority of
structured products are from high-investment- grade issuers only. Also, there is a lack of pricing
transparency. There is no uniform standard for pricing, making it harder to compare the net-of-pricing
attractiveness of alternative structured product offerings than it is, for instance, to compare the net
expense ratios of different mutual funds or commissions among broker-dealers.

December 1, 2025
ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS: Investments classified as "alternative investments" may include a broad
range of underlying assets including, but not limited to, hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, and
registered, publicly traded securities. Alternative investments are speculative, not suitable for all clients
and intended for only experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high risk of the
investment, which can include: loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging,
short-selling, or other speculative investment practices; lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary
market for the fund and none expected to develop; volatility of returns; potential for restrictions on
transferring interest in the fund; potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to
concentration of trading authority with a single advisor; absence of information regarding valuations and
pricing; potential for delays in tax reporting; less regulation and typically higher fees than other investment
options such as mutual funds. The SEC requires investors be accredited to invest in these more
speculative alternative investments. Investing in a fund that concentrates its investments in a few holdings
may involve heightened risk and result in greater price volatility.

INSURANCE
Some of our IARs are also licensed insurance agents and sell various life insurance products.
Compensation for insurance passes through the affiliated, bookkeeping entity Kilter Group Insurance

trails, or other compensation from the respective insurance products) as a result of effecting insurance
transactions for clients. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees.
The Firm and the IAR have an incentive to recommend insurance products, and this incentive creates a
conflict of interest between your interests and our Firm. We mitigate this conflict by disclosing to clients
they have the right to decide whether or not to engage the services of our IARs. Further, clients should
note they have the right to decide whether to act on the recommendations and the right to choose any

its management persons or employees creates inherent conflicts of interest in the objectivity of the Firm
and these individuals when making advisory recommendations. Our Firm endeavors at all times to put
the interest of its clients first as part of our fiduciary duty as a registered investment adviser; we take the
following steps, among others to address this conflict:
• we disclose to clients the existence of all material conflicts of interest, including the potential for
the Firm, investment advisors, and our employees to earn compensation from advisory clients in
addition to the Firm's advisory fees.
• we disclose to clients that they have the right to decide to purchase recommended investment
products from our employees.
• we collect, maintain and document accurate, complete and relevant client background
•
information, including the client’s financial goals, objectives, and liquidity needs.
the Firm conducts regular reviews of each client advisory account to verify that all
recommendations made to a client are in the best interest of the client’s needs and circumstances.
• we require that our investment advisors and employees seek prior approval of any outside
employment activity so that we may ensure that any conflicts of interests in such activities are
properly addressed.
• we periodically review these outside employment activities of the investment advisor to verify that
any conflicts of interest continue to be properly disclosed by the investment advisor; and
• we educate our investment advisors regarding the responsibilities of a fiduciary, including the
need for having a reasonable and independent basis for the investment advice provided to clients.

Kilter Group has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth high ethical standards of business
conduct that we require of our investment advisors and employees, including compliance with
applicable federal securities laws. Kilter Group and its investment advisors owe a duty of loyalty,
fairness and good faith towards our clients, and have an obligation to adhere not only to the specific
provisions of the Code of Ethics but to the general principles that guide the Code. Our Code of
Ethics includes policies and procedures for the reporting and review of personal securities transactions
reports by our Firm’s investment advisors and employees. In addition, our Code of Ethics also requires
the prior approval of any acquisition of securities in a limited offering (e.g., private placement) or an initial
public offering. Our code also provides for oversight, enforcement, and recordkeeping provisions.
Kilter Group’s Code of Ethics further includes the Firm's policy prohibiting the use of material non-
public information. While we do not believe that we have any access to non-public information, all
investment advisors are reminded that such information may not be used in a personal or
professional capacity. Kilter Group and its investment advisors are prohibited from engaging in
principal transactions and agency cross transactions.
Our Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities, and interests
of our investment advisors will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients
and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing investment advisors to invest for
their own accounts. Our Firm and/or investment advisors or employees may buy or sell for their
personal accounts securities that are identical to or different from those recommended to our
clients. In addition, any related person(s) may have an interest or position in a certain security(ies)
which may also be recommended to a client. It is the expressed policy of our Firm that no investment
advisor may purchase or sell any security prior to a transaction(s) being implemented for an advisory
account, thereby preventing such investment advisor(s) from benefiting from transactions placed
on behalf of advisory accounts.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our advisory clients and prospective clients. Clients may
request a copy by calling us at 646-438-6557.
I T E M 1 2 - B R O K E R A G E P R A C T I C E S
THE CUSTODIAN AND BROKERS WE USE
Clients must maintain assets in an account at a “qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or bank.
We recommend that our clients use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab” “the Custodian”), which is a
Member FINRA/SIPC, registered broker-dealer, and qualified custodian. We are independently owned
and operated, and unaffiliated with Schwab. The Custodian will hold client assets in a brokerage account
and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to.
While we recommend that clients use our recommended Custodian, clients must decide whether to do
so and open accounts with the Custodian by entering into account agreements directly with Schwab. The
accounts will always be held in the name of the client and never in our firm’s name. Even though clients
23
December 1, 2025
maintain accounts at Schwab, we can still use other brokers to execute trades for client accounts (see
Client Brokerage and Custody Costs, below).
HOW WE SELECT BROKERS/CUSTODIAN
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold client assets and execute transactions on terms
that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. We
consider a wide range of factors, including:
1. Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services (generally without a
separate fee for custody)
2. Capability to buy and sell securities for client accounts.
3. Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check
requests, bill payment, etc.)
4. Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds,
etc.)
5. Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment decisions.
6. Quality of services
7. Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, other fees, etc.) and willingness
to negotiate the prices.
8. Reputation, financial strength, and stability
9. Prior service to our Firm and our other clients
10. Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see Products and
Services Available to Us from Schwab)
CLIENT BROKERAGE AND CUSTODY COSTS
For client accounts that the Custodian maintains, the Custodian generally does not charge separately for
custody services. However, the Custodian receives compensation by charging ticket charges or other
fees on trades that it executes or that settle into clients’ Custodian accounts. In addition to commissions,
the Custodian charge a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we
have executed by a different custodian but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities
sold are deposited (settled) into a client’s Custodian account. These fees are in addition to the ticket
charges or other compensation the client pays the executing custodian. To minimize these trading costs,
we have the Custodian execute most trades for client accounts. We have determined that having
Custodian execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of client trades. Best
execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those
listed above (see How We Select Brokers/Custodian).
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE TO US FROM CUSTODIAN
The Custodian will provide our Firm and our clients with access to institutional brokerage, trading,
custody, reporting, and related services. The Custodian also makes available various support services
which help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts and help us manage and grow our business.
Schwab’s support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we do not have to request
them) and at no charge to us. Following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services:
SERVICES THAT BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products,
execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available
through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a
24
December 1, 2025
significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this
paragraph generally benefit our clients and their accounts.
SERVICES THAT MAY NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS
The Custodian also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly
benefit our clients or their accounts. These products and services assist us in managing and
administering our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of
third parties. We may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts,
including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, the Custodian also
makes available software and other technology that:
1. Provides access to client account data (positions, trades, statements, cost basis, etc).
2. Facilitates trade execution and allocates aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts.
3. Provides pricing and other market data.
4. Facilitates payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts.
5. Assists with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting.
SERVICES THAT GENERALLY BENEFIT ONLY US
The Custodian also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business
enterprise. These services include:
1. Educational conferences and events
2. Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
3. Publications or conferences on practice management & business succession
4. Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers
The Custodian may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party
vendors to provide the services to us. The Custodian may also discount or waive its fees for some of
these services or pay all or part of a third party’s fees. The Custodian may also provide us with other
benefits, such as occasional business entertainment for our personnel. The Custodian provides
these additional services and support to the Advisor in its sole discretion and at its own expense, and
Advisor does not pay any fees to the Custodian for this. As part of our fiduciary duties to clients, we
always endeavor to put the interests of our clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the
receipt of economic benefits by our Firm or our related persons in and of itself creates a potential
conflict of interest and may indirectly influence our choice of the Custodian for custody and brokerage
services. The Custodian may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these
services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to us.
OUR INTEREST IN SCHWAB’S SERVICES
The availability of these services from the Custodian benefits us because we do not have to produce or
purchase them. These services are not contingent upon us committing any specific amount of business
to Schwab. We believe that our selection of the Custodian as Custodian and brokers is in the best interest
of our clients.
Some of the products, services and other benefits provided by the Custodian benefit our Firm and may
not benefit our client accounts. Our recommendation or requirement that clients place assets in Schwab's
custody may be based in part on benefits Custodian provides to us, or our agreement to maintain certain
Assets Under Management at Schwab, and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and
execution services provided by Schwab.

BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS
Our Firm does not receive client referrals from any custodian or third party in exchange for using that
custodian or third party.
AGGREGATION AND ALLOCATION OF TRANSACTIONS
Transactions for each client will be affected independently unless we decide to purchase or sell the same
securities for several clients at approximately the same time. We may, but are not obligated to, combine
multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for advisory accounts we manage (this
practice is commonly referred to as "aggregated trading"). We will then distribute a portion of the shares
to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner. In the event an order is only partially filled, the
shares will be allocated to participating accounts in a fair and equitable manner, typically in proportion to
the size of each client's order. Accounts owned by our firm or people associated with our firm may
participate in aggregated trading with your accounts; however, they will not be given preferential
treatment. We combine multiple orders for shares of the same securities purchased for discretionary
accounts.
TRADE ERRORS
We have implemented procedures designed to prevent trade errors; however, trade errors in client
accounts cannot always be avoided. Consistent with our fiduciary duty, it is our policy to correct trade
errors in a manner that is in the best interest of the client. In cases where the client causes a trade error,
the client will be responsible for any loss resulting from the correction. Depending on the specific
circumstances of the trade error, the client may not be able to receive any gains generated as a result of
the error correction. In all situations where the client does not cause the trade error, the client will be
made whole, and we will absorb any loss resulting from the trade error if the error was caused by the
firm. If the error is caused by the custodian, the Custodian will be responsible for covering all trade error
costs. We will never benefit or profit from trade errors.
DIRECTED BROKERAGE
Kilter Group does not routinely require that clients direct us to execute transactions through a specified
broker dealer. Additionally, we typically do not permit clients to direct brokerage. We place trades for
your account subject to our duty to seek best execution and other fiduciary duties.
I T E M 1 3 - R E V I E W O F A C C O U N T S
ACCOUNT REVIEWS AND REVIEWERS
Our Investment Adviser Representatives will monitor investment management client accounts on a
regular basis and perform annual reviews with each client. All accounts are reviewed for consistency
with client investment strategy, asset allocation, risk tolerance, and performance relative to the
appropriate benchmark. More frequent reviews may be triggered by changes in an account holder’s
personal, tax, or financial status. Geopolitical and macroeconomic specific events may also trigger
reviews. Clients are urged to notify us of any changes in your personal circumstances.
While reviews may occur at different stages depending on the nature and terms of the specific
engagement, typically no formal reviews will be conducted for Financial Planning clients unless otherwise
contracted for. Ongoing management of the financial planning portal is maintained by our Firm.
26
December 1, 2025
STATEMENTS AND REPORTS
Performance reports from our Firm are generated for clients during annual reviews or as requested.
The Custodian for the individual client’s account will also provide clients with an account statement at
least quarterly. Clients are urged to compare the reports provided by Kilter Group against the account
statements the clients receive directly from your account custodian.
Financial Planning clients will receive access to an online financial planning portal. Additional reports will
not typically be provided unless otherwise contracted for.

Kilter Group has a promoter arrangement with Absolute Capital Management (“Absolute Capital”), an
unaffiliated, Registered Investment Advisor that provides services related to workplace retirement
accounts. Under this arrangement, the firm may refer clients to Absolute Capital Management and, if a
referred client engages their services, the Firm will receive a solicitor or promoter fee from Absolute
Capital Management. This arrangement creates a potential conflict of interest because the Firm has a
financial incentive to recommend Absolute Capital Management over other service providers. Clients are
not obligated to engage Absolute Capital Management and have the option to receive investment advice
through other advisors of their choosing.
At times, we will receive expense reimbursement for travel and/or marketing expenses from distributors
of investment and/or insurance products. Travel expense reimbursements are a result of attendance at
due diligence and/or investment training events hosted by product sponsors. Marketing expense
reimbursements are the result of informal expense sharing arrangements in which product sponsors will
underwrite costs incurred for marketing such as client appreciation events, advertising, publishing, and
seminar expenses. Receipt of these travel and marketing expense reimbursements are dependent upon
specific sales quotas, the product sponsor reimbursements are made by those sponsors for which sales
have been made or for which it is anticipated sales will be made. This creates a conflict of interest in that
there is an incentive to recommend certain products and investments based on the receipt of this
compensation instead of what is in the best interest of our clients. We attempt to control this conflict by
always basing investment decisions on the individual needs of our clients. Our Firm and our supervised
persons do not accept or receive compensation based on the sale of securities. Supervised people can
be compensated for obtaining prospective clients through marketing initiatives.
Kilter Group may be asked to recommend a financial professional, such as an attorney, accountant or
mortgage broker. In such cases, our Firm does not receive any direct compensation in return for any
referrals made to individuals or firms in our professional network. Clients must independently evaluate
these firms or individuals before engaging in business with them and clients have the right to choose any
financial professional to conduct business. Individuals and firms in our financial professional network may
refer clients to our Firm. Again, our Firm does not pay any direct compensation in return for any referrals
made to our firm. Our Firm does recognize the fiduciary responsibility to place your interests first and
have established policies in this regard to mitigate any conflicts of interest.
Outside of the formal solicitor arrangement with Absolute Capital Management referenced above, it is
Kilter Group's policy not to accept or allow our related persons to accept any form of compensation,
27
December 1, 2025
including cash, sales awards, or other prizes, from a non-client in conjunction with the advisory services
we provide to our clients.
I T E M 1 5 - C U S T O D Y
Kilter Group does not have physical custody of any client funds and/or securities and does not take
custody of client accounts at any time. Client funds and securities will be held with a bank, broker dealer,
or other independent qualified custodian.
DEDUCTION OF ADVISORY FEES
Kilter Group is deemed to have limited custody of client funds and securities whenever Kilter Group is
given the authority to have fees deducted directly from client accounts. It should be noted that
authorization to trade in client accounts is not deemed by regulators to be custody. Account statements
are delivered directly from the qualified custodian to each client, or the client’s independent
representative, at least quarterly. Clients should carefully review those statements and are urged to
compare the statements against reports received from Kilter Group. When the client has questions about
their account statements, the client should contact Kilter Group or the qualified custodian preparing the
statement.
I T E M 1 6 - D I S C R E T I O N
Before Kilter Group can buy or sell securities on your behalf, the client must first sign our discretionary
management agreement, a limited power of attorney, and/or trading authorization forms. By choosing to
do so, the client may grant the Firm discretion over the selection and number of securities to be purchased
or sold for the client’s account(s) without obtaining your consent or approval prior to each transaction.
Clients may impose limitations on discretionary authority for investing in certain securities or types of
securities (such as a product type, specific companies, specific sectors, etc.), as well as other limitations
as expressed by the client. Limitations on discretionary authority are required to be provided to the IAR
in writing. Please refer to the “Advisory Business” section of this Brochure for more information on our
discretionary management services.
In some instances, Kilter Group may not have discretion. Kilter Group will discuss all transactions with
the client prior to execution or the client will be required to make the trades in an employer sponsored
account.
I T E M 1 7 - V O T I N G C L I E N T S E C U R I T I E S
As a matter of Kilter Group policy, Kilter Group does not vote proxies on behalf of clients. Therefore, it is
your responsibility to vote for all proxies for securities held in your Account. The client will receive proxies
directly from the qualified custodian or transfer agent; we will not provide the client with the proxies.
Although we do not vote client proxies, if the client does have a question about a particular proxy feel
free to contact the custodian directly.

I T E M 1 8 - F I N A N C I A L I N F O R M A T I O N
As an advisory firm that maintains discretionary authority for client accounts, Kilter Group is also required
to disclose any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet our contractual
obligations. Kilter Group has no such financial circumstances to report. Under no circumstances do we
require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 per client more than six (6) months in advance of
services rendered. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial statement. Kilter Group has not
been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten (10) years.
