ADVISORY BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Kopion Asset Management, LLC (Kopion) provides investment management
services to individuals. This is done through a Limited Power of Attorney by
which Kopion manages each client's account on their behalf. Kopion was
founded in August 2009 and is 100% owned by Kopion's President, Terry Lee
Ledbetter, Jr., CFA.
Kopion manages investment accounts for capital appreciation (i.e. growth).
Kopion’s Client Agreement provides the firm with broad freedom with respect to
the types of securities that Kopion is allowed to invest in, including stocks, bonds,
mutual funds, certificates of deposit, money market funds, government securities
and obligations, debt securities, and other securities. In practice, however,
Kopion holds a diversified portfolio of publicly traded common stocks. Kopion
usually holds about 15-25 stocks at a time, which we believe provides a
reasonable amount of diversification, though this is relatively concentrated
compared to many other advisers. Kopion selects stocks through fundamental
analysis, which means gathering a wide range of qualitative and quantitative
information about a company in order to better understand its risk characteristics,
growth prospects, and valuation. Kopion gathers this information from a variety
of sources including news media, press releases, SEC filings, and conversations
with companies, their competitors, and other financial professionals. Kopion is a
long-term investor and usually holds its stocks for three or more years.
Kopion sometimes invests clients’ cash balances in money market mutual funds
or exchange-traded funds.
Kopion does not tailor its services to each client, but instead uses a "model
portfolio" that represents the target allocation for every account that we manage
(i.e. X% in Security A, Y% in Security B, etc.). When we decide to increase or
reduce a position in the model portfolio, we do so for all accounts simultaneously.
Kopion does not allow clients to influence which securities are held or excluded
from their portfolios unless they are subject to government or employer
regulations that restrict their trading in a given security. Whenever a new client
joins Kopion, Kopion collaborates with that client to determine whether to invest
that client’s funds all at once or gradually over a period of time (i.e. Lump-Sum
Investing or Dollar Cost Averaging).
Kopion periodically makes tax-related trades for the taxable accounts that it
manages in an attempt to reduce the volatility of those accounts’ tax obligations
from year to year. These tax-related trades usually involve acquiring a modest
amount of additional shares in stocks that Kopion already holds and then selling
that same number of shares roughly 31 days later in order to realize capital
losses. On rare occasions, Kopion also makes tax-related trades by selling
some of the shares in stocks that it holds in order to realize capital losses
4
immediately and using the proceeds to buy index mutual funds or exchange-
traded funds. Those index mutual funds or exchange-traded funds are then sold
roughly 31 days later and the proceeds are used to reacquire the stocks that
were previously sold.
The first advantage of Kopion's overall approach is that it is very efficient
administratively, which allows us to spend most of our time researching the
securities that we own or are considering for investment. A second advantage of
this approach is that it treats all fully invested clients equally since they all hold
the same stocks in the same proportions, and they move in and out of these
positions in tandem.
The primary disadvantage of Kopion's approach is that it limits the types of
clients that Kopion can serve. For example, Kopion does not provide financial
planning or asset allocation services, so we are limited to clients who are able to
make those decisions on their own or have received such advice from another
provider. Similarly, Kopion does not manage fixed income investments, so
clients who need such securities must invest in them on their own or through
another adviser. We believe that investment advisers are generally good at
either investing or financial planning and that there are structural challenges to
performing both of these functions well. Consequently, we have chosen to focus
our efforts on equity investing. Our marketing materials explain this
specialization, and we are hopeful that this will prevent prospective clients from
entrusting us with more of their assets than would be appropriate or engaging
Kopion if we are not suited to help them.
As of February 5, 2026, Kopion managed approximately $143,000,000.
Item 5
FEES & COMPENSATION
Kopion receives a Management Fee for its services that is based on a
percentage of the assets under management. In cases where Kopion manages
multiple brokerage accounts for one client, Kopion’s fee is based on the
combined asset value of all of the client’s accounts. (This is sometimes referred
to as “householding.”) Kopion's Annual Fee Schedule is shown below:
• First $1,000,000 = 1.25%
• Next $9,000,000 = 0.80%
• Above $10,000,000 = 0.60%
The quarterly fee is calculated by dividing the above annual rates by four to
determine the quarterly rate, and then multiplying the quarterly rate by the value
5
of the account at the end of each calendar quarter. The fee is also adjusted for
any deposits or withdrawals made during the quarter in order to decrease or
increase the fee in proportion to the size and timing of such transactions.
Kopion's fee is deducted quarterly in arrears, and Kopion deducts this fee directly
from clients' accounts. Kopion's Fee Schedule is not negotiable.
Charging a Management Fee presents a conflict of interest since it gives Kopion
an incentive to encourage investors to become Kopion clients and invest more
funds with Kopion than they might otherwise. It also gives Kopion an incentive to
encourage clients to remain with Kopion for longer than they might otherwise.
Kopion attempts to overcome these conflicts of interest in the following ways:
1. Kopion’s Compliance Manual explicitly prohibits its employees from
recommending or asking that investors become clients.
2. Kopion’s employees take an educational approach to their interactions
with prospective and existing clients instead of a sales approach.
3. Kopion’s employees attempt to be very forthright about the risks
associated with Kopion’s investment strategy.
4. Every three years, Kopion asks its clients to complete a Client Suitability
Form. This form is intended to prompt clients to re-evaluate whether they
should remain with Kopion. It also helps Kopion’s employees to assess
whether Kopion remains an appropriate investment adviser for each client.
Kopion's Management Fee represents only the fee paid to Kopion, and it does
not include any other expenses associated with maintaining or managing the
account. For example, clients will sometimes incur brokerage commissions or
SEC fees when Kopion places trades. Clients will also incur expenses
associated with any mutual funds and exchange-traded funds held in the
account, though these expenses are generally incurred indirectly since the fund
companies deduct them from the funds’ assets. Clients may also incur ADR
management fees when Kopion invests in ADR securities. Item 12 of this Form
goes into greater detail about how Kopion selects brokerage services.
Kopion’s Client Agreement gives Kopion the freedom to charge different
management fees to different clients and to use different methods to calculate
these fees. In practice, however, Kopion applies the same fee schedule and
calculation method to all clients except in extraordinary circumstances and as it
relates to Kopion’s employees. Kopion typically waives its management fee for
employees, their spouses, and legal entities for which its employees or their
spouses are the primary beneficiaries.

Item 7
TYPES OF CLIENTS
Kopion provides investment management services to individuals who:
1) Desire to grow their assets,
2) Are able to tolerate risks such as those mentioned in Item 8, and
3) Intend for Kopion to manage their account for at least five years.
Kopion has a minimum account size of $125,000 at the time of opening the
account.
Item 8
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES & RISK OF LOSS
As explained in Item 4, Kopion uses fundamental analysis to select publicly
traded common stocks that we believe offer a good opportunity for capital
appreciation (i.e. growth) over the next 3-5 years.
INVESTING IN SECURITIES ALWAYS INVOLVES THE RISK OF LOSS, AND
CLIENTS MUST BE WILLING TO BEAR THIS RISK.
Risk comes from a variety of sources. Because Kopion primarily invests in
publicly traded common stocks, an overriding risk that we face is general
changes in the stock market since stocks often decline as a group during periods
of economic weakness or crises.
In addition, Kopion's portfolio is relatively concentrated because we invest in
about 15-25 stocks at a time and also tend to focus on a few economic sectors.
This level of concentration presents a source of risk, though we believe that we
generally strike a balance between being adequately diversified and still
maintaining high standards for our research and which stocks we own.
(Conventional mutual funds and exchange traded funds, by contrast, are highly
diversified and own anywhere from 50-500 stocks. Such a high level of
diversification provides a measure of protection, but it also limits the portfolio
7
managers' ability to understand each investment and be selective about which
stocks they hold.)
For a given stock, risks include:
1) A deterioration in the company's business condition,
2) A compression in the stock's valuation,
3) The possibility that the company won't be able to refinance its debt in a
timely manner, and
4) The possibility that Kopion's analysis is incomplete or flawed.
As mentioned in Item 4, Kopion sometimes invests clients’ cash balances in
money market mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. These securities could
lose value if interest rates rise or the underlying borrowers default. Compared to
common stocks, however, the risk of loss in these securities is quite low,
especially since Kopion typically uses money market mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds that invest in debt obligations that have very short
maturities and where the United States Government and its agencies are the
primary or only borrowers.
As explained in Item 4, Kopion sometimes makes tax-related trades for the
taxable accounts that it manages. These trades involve unique risks, but all of
these risks are modest in proportion to the accounts’ values because Kopion
typically limits these trades to about 3% or less of the accounts’ value. Below is
a list of the primary risks associated with Kopion’s tax-related trading:
1) Tax-related trades put the related accounts modestly out of step with
Kopion’s model portfolio for roughly 31 days. This can cause these
accounts to modestly underperform the model portfolio, though they might
also modestly outperform it.
2) Most of the time, Kopion executes tax-related trades by acquiring
additional shares of stocks that it already owns, holding those additional
shares for about 31 days, and finally selling the extra shares to realize a
capital loss. This increases the related clients’ exposure to these
particular stocks, and if these stocks decline in that roughly 31 day period,
the account will be left with modestly less cash than it would have
otherwise. (If these stocks increase during that roughly 31 day period, the
account will be left with modestly more cash than it would have otherwise.)
Kopion seeks to manage this risk by:
a. Limiting the overall tax-trade to about 3% or less of the account’s
value, and
b. Executing the overall tax-trade with a group of stocks whenever
possible, instead of with a single stock, in order to diversify this risk.
3) On rare occasions Kopion sells shares of stocks that it owns in order to
realize a capital loss immediately, invests the proceeds in an index mutual
fund or exchange-traded fund (both referred to generically as an “index
fund”) for roughly 31 days, and lastly sells the index fund to re-acquire the
8
divested shares of stocks. This allows the related portion of the portfolio
to generally track the overall movement of the stock market during that
roughly 31 day period. If the index fund underperforms the related stocks,
however, the account will end this process with modestly less cash than it
would have otherwise. (If the index fund outperforms the related stocks,
the account will end this process with modestly more cash than it would
have otherwise.) It is also worth noting that index funds bear the risk of
general changes in the stock market mentioned above.
Kopion’s investment strategy is tax efficient in the sense that Kopion typically
holds its stocks for three or more years, which causes more of the associated
realized capital gains to be long-term and thus taxed at a lower rate than short-
term capital gains. That said, Kopion is “tax conscious, but investment driven.”
This means that we usually prefer to make the best investment decision even
when doing so will increase clients’ tax obligations in a given year. For example,
if a new holding appreciates dramatically during the first six months that we own
it, Kopion will typically gravitate towards trimming that position in order to
manage the associated investment risk even though doing so will result in short-
term capital gains. It is also worth mentioning that any of Kopion’s trades could
cause wash sales in clients’ other taxable accounts that Kopion does not manage
or have visibility into. Indeed, Kopion’s routine trading could cause wash sales
that disallow capital losses that Kopion has realized intentionally in the accounts
that Kopion manages, though we have processes that are designed to prevent
this.
The above items are the primary risks that we think about when managing
accounts, but this is not a comprehensive list.

Item 11
CODE OF ETHICS
Kopion's President, Terry Lee Ledbetter, Jr., has personal accounts that are
managed by Kopion and thus mirror Kopion's model portfolio. He thus buys and
sells securities for his own personal accounts that he also buys and sells for
clients' accounts. Jonathan Lindstrom, Kopion’s Analyst, has personal accounts
that hold securities that are part of Kopion’s model portfolio. Consequently, Mr.
Lindstrom sometimes buys and sells securities for his own personal accounts
that he also buys and sells for clients’ accounts. Kopion's Code of Ethics
governs transactions made in Mr. Ledbetter’s and Mr. Lindstrom’s personal
accounts. This document is available to all existing and prospective clients upon
request and at kopion.com/disclosures/codeofethics.pdf. The Code of Ethics
seeks to safeguard clients from conflicts of interests and restricts Mr. Ledbetter’s
and Mr. Lindstrom’s personal transactions to the following three situations:
1. In block trades on the same day as client transactions, provided that:
a) Mr. Ledbetter and Mr. Lindstrom don’t receive more favorable
pricing than clients, and
b) Clients are given priority if a trade plan cannot be completed within
a single day.
2. Any day after trades have been placed for clients.
3. No less than one calendar week before trades that are made for clients.
Kopion allows for two exceptions to the third scenario listed above:
A. In cases where an action by the client necessitates trading, such as the
opening of a new account or a withdrawal request (which could
necessitate sale transactions), Kopion is allowed to immediately trade on
the client’s behalf, even if Mr. Ledbetter or Mr. Lindstrom recently made
similar trades in their own accounts. Because such trades are essentially
initiated by the client (and in the case of an account opening, also
dependent on the timing of the custodian’s processes), Mr. Ledbetter and
Mr. Lindstrom are not in a position to front run the client.
B. In cases where Mr. Ledbetter’s or Mr. Lindstrom’s trades were made
alongside a trade plan for clients as described in Item 1 above, Item 3
above does not apply. For example, if Kopion executes a trade plan that
involves selling Holding A and Mr. Ledbetter or Mr. Lindstrom participates
alongside that trade plan, Kopion is not required to wait a full calendar
week before executing a different trade plan that also involves selling
Holding A. The purpose of Item 3 above is to prevent front running, but
when Mr. Ledbetter or Mr. Lindstrom trades alongside a trade plan for
clients, front running is impossible by definition.
10
Item 12
BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Kopion has standardized on Charles Schwab ("Schwab") as its custodian (i.e.
broker) for four reasons:
1. Schwab's commissions and fees are generally competitive with other
custodians.
2. Schwab’s service levels are usually superior to other custodians.
3. Standardizing on Schwab allows Kopion to aggregate client transactions
into block trades whenever possible so that Kopion’s clients all receive the
same price for a stock that is bought or sold. (This is explained in more
detail below.)
4. Kopion realizes significant operational efficiencies by standardizing on
Schwab, partly due to Schwab's tight integration with the Portfolio
Management System (PMS) that Kopion uses (PortfolioCenter). While at
his prior job, Mr. Ledbetter used both the Schwab and non-Schwab
interfaces with PortfolioCenter and discovered that the non-Schwab
interfaces are more labor intensive and don’t work as well as the Schwab
interface. The integration between Schwab and PortfolioCenter
streamlines Kopion's administrative functions and allows Kopion to devote
more attention to investing activities such as research.
Kopion's Client Agreement also gives Kopion the freedom to direct trades to
brokers other than Schwab in order to achieve better execution or streamline
Kopion's administrative functions. (Such brokers are referred to as “executing
brokers.”) When Kopion places large orders for illiquid stocks, Kopion
sometimes uses Jefferies or Jones Trading as an executing broker. Prior to
using an executing broker, Kopion had consistently begun to experience
challenges when placing large orders for illiquid stocks through Schwab;
Kopion’s large orders for these stocks had begun to push their prices up during
the buying process and down during the selling process. Executing brokers, by
contrast, are generally better equipped to handle these types of trades.
Most asset managers pay a commission of $0.03 to $0.04 per share to executing
brokers, though some pay as high as $0.05 per share. Kopion has been willing
to pay as high as $0.04 per share in order to encourage a strong effort on their
part even though we only use them to execute a small minority of our trades. In
addition to the commission paid to the executing broker, Kopion clients must also
pay Schwab a $25.00 “Prime Brokerage Fee” for these trades in order to cover
Schwab’s costs of coordinating with a third party broker. These costs are higher
than Schwab’s standard commission-free trades, but we believe that these
additional costs are more than offset by the better buying and selling prices that
an executing broker can achieve for illiquid stocks. We thus use an executing
broker to handle large orders of illiquid stocks when necessary, and we continue
to use Schwab for all other trades.
11
By using Jefferies as an executing broker, Kopion was once allowed to attend a
Jefferies conference and may be allowed to do so in the future. This provides
research benefits for all clients. However, it also ostensibly creates an incentive
for Kopion to select Jefferies as an executing broker for the research they
provide rather than to focus on best execution for clients. In practice, however,
the overwhelming majority of the research we use is generated internally.
Kopion’s research process thus does not depend on such conferences, and no
attempt is made to ensure that Kopion maintains access to them. Kopion only
uses an executing broker when we believe it will provide better execution than
Schwab. For example, from 2023-2025, trades made through executing brokers
represented less than 1% of Kopion’s trades related to changes in Kopion’s
model portfolio. Nevertheless, when conference opportunities become available
as a result of Kopion’s trading through an executing broker, we may choose to
take advantage of them to benefit all clients.
As mentioned in bullet point #3 above, Kopion aggregates client transactions into
block trades whenever possible. This ensures equity among the clients since
they will all receive the same price for a stock that is bought or sold. Kopion
does not aggregate client transactions when:
1. Kopion is making a change to its model portfolio and all of the associated
trades cannot be completed in a single day. In these cases, Kopion uses
a consistent process to ensure that each client will receive the same
number of turns “at the front of the line” for having their trades performed
on the first day of such trading.
2. Trades are being made for tax-related purposes. Those trades naturally
vary for each client since the clients joined Kopion at different times and
thus have different cost bases. That said, when multiple clients need the
same tax-related trade, Kopion does aggregate those trades into a block
trade.
3. Trades are made in response to clients’ deposits or withdrawals. That
said, Kopion does aggregate the related trades into block trades when:
a) A trade(s) related to clients’ deposits or withdrawals overlaps with a
trade(s) being made on the same day due to a change in Kopion’s
model portfolio.
b) Multiple clients make a deposit or withdrawal on the same day and
thus need the same trades.
4. Kopion is placing a block trade through an executing broker, but a client’s
account is too small to qualify for trading through an executing broker.
Schwab requires a brokerage account to be $100,000 or larger in order to
participate in a block trade made through an executing broker. In these
instances, we are thus required to place the related clients’ trades through
Schwab. That said, when multiple clients are affected by this limitation,
Kopion does aggregate their trades into a block trade at Schwab.
12
Kopion’s Client Agreement specifies that Kopion will select the broker for the
accounts that Kopion manages. As explained above, Kopion does this for a
variety of reasons including ensuring equity among its clients. Clients should be
aware, however, that not all investment advisers require clients to use a broker
selected by the investment adviser. In addition, brokers selected by an
investment adviser may not achieve the best trade execution, which would
ultimately make trades more expensive.
Item 13
REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Kopion's President, Terry Lee Ledbetter, Jr. generally reviews Kopion's model
portfolio at least once a month, and in doing so, he is essentially reviewing all of
the fully invested accounts since they all mirror the model portfolio. In addition,
for new clients whose funds are being invested gradually over a period of time
(i.e. Dollar Cost Averaging), Mr. Ledbetter also reviews their accounts as
required by the associated investment schedules.
Kopion's clients receive brokerage statements from the custodian (i.e. Schwab)
once a month, and these statements list the securities and transactions within the
account. In addition to these reports, Kopion sends its own quarterly statements
to clients. Kopion's quarterly statements report the holdings and total value of
the account, the performance of the account, and the management fee that will
soon be deducted from the account.
Item 14
CLIENT REFERRALS & OTHER COMPENSATION
This item is not applicable to Kopion.
Item 15
CUSTODY
As explained in Item 13, Kopion's clients receive monthly statements from the
custodian (i.e. Schwab) as well as quarterly statements from Kopion.
13
Kopion makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of its own statements.
Nonetheless, clients are encouraged to compare Kopion's statements to those of
the custodian. When doing so, clients should be aware that Kopion's statements
reflect transactions as of the day that they are executed, whereas the custodian's
statements wait to reflect transactions until after they have settled. (Settlement
occurs one business day after execution.) In cases where Kopion trades near
the end of the month, Kopion's account balances will thus differ from the
custodian's. This difference can be reconciled using information from the
custodian's statement under the section titled "Pending / Open Activity."
Item 16
INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Kopion's Client Agreement includes a Limited Power of Attorney, which gives
Kopion full discretion over which securities Kopion may buy and sell for client
accounts as well as the proportion of the account that each security may
represent. As mentioned in Item 4, Kopion does not allow clients to influence
which securities are held or excluded from their portfolios unless they are subject
to government or employer regulations that restrict their trading in a given
security.
Item 17
VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Kopion's clients receive proxies and such solicitations directly from the custodian
or a transfer agent. Kopion's Client Agreement dictates that Kopion will not vote
nor give any advice about how to vote proxies for securities held in clients’
accounts.
