Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Kraematon Investment Advisors, Inc. (“KIA” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. KIA is organized as a Corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts. KIA was founded in January 1997 and is owned and operated by Gregory Clinton (President
and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications,
business practices, and the advisory services provided by KIA.
B. Advisory Services Offered
KIA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates. (each
referred to as a “Client”).
The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a
fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each Client and seeks to
mitigate potential conflicts of interest. KIA’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of
Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or
Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading.
Wealth Management Services
KIA provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include a broad range of
comprehensive financial planning in connection with the discretionary investment management of Client
portfolios. These services are described below.
Investment Management Services- KIA provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is
achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment
management and related advisory services. KIA works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals
and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. KIA will then
construct an investment portfolio consisting of mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve
the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks to meet the needs of its Clients. The
Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio
strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
KIA selects, recommends, and/or retains mutual funds on a fund by fund basis and seeks to use non-retail or
institutional classes when possible. Due to specific custodial or mutual fund company constraints, material tax
consideration, and/or systematic investment plans, KIA may select, recommend, and/or retain a mutual fund
share class that has a higher expense ratio than an equivalent share class. KIA will seek to select the lowest
cost share class available that is in the best interest of each Client and will ensure the selection aligns with the
Client’s financial objectives and state investment guidelines.
KIA’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions
that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. KIA
will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and
risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on
the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
KIA evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due
diligence process. KIA may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the
portfolio. KIA may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may
recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. KIA may recommend
selling positions for reasons that include but are not limited to harvesting capital gains or losses, business or
sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s]
in the portfolio, changes in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk
deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.

Page 4
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over
the assets to an IRA or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g., commission-based
account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor earns a new
(or increases its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over
a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
At no time will KIA accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as
outlined in Item 15 - Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the
Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Financial Planning Services- KIA will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to
Clients. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and
objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a
specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting
may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to investment planning, retirement
planning, personal savings, education savings, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings, and/or charitable giving programs.
KIA may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney, or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique
situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s
financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor
may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of the
contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients increase the level
of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor.
Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing
relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the
Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging KIA to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an
agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority, and responsibilities of the Advisor and
the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – KIA, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – KIA will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – KIA will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated
goals and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – KIA will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.

D. Wrap Fee Programs
KIA does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are
provided directly by KIA.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, KIA manages $201,501,574 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a
discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
Wealth Management fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
wealth management agreement. Wealth management fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees are based on the following schedule:
Assets Under Management ($)
Annual Rate (%)
$0 to $1,000,000
$1,000,000 to $2,000,000
Greater than $2,000,000
1.00%
0.75%
0.50%
The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees are negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed
by KIA will be independently valued by the Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s
valuation to ensure accurate billing. Any assets deposited into or withdrawn from the Client’s account[s], the
Advisor’s fee will be adjusted in the billing period to reflect the fee difference.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the
Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
B. Fee Billing
Wealth Management Services
Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s]
at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be
deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter end date. The amount due is calculated by applying
the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 365 then multiplied by the number of days in the quarter) to the total
assets under management with KIA at the end of each calendar quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement,
at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the wealth management fee. It is the responsibility
of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian
does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted
by KIA to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement
and separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
As mentioned in Item 4.B. above, the Client may be invested into share classes of mutual funds that have a
higher expense ratio than a different share class. This may result in Clients paying higher expense ratio[s]. For a
complete discussion of expenses related to each mutual fund, please read a copy of the prospectus issued by
that particular fund.

Page 6
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties other than KIA in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees
charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities
transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and
conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual
funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by KIA are separate and distinct from these custody
and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to KIA for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described
in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the
funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage, and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of KIA,
but would not receive the services provided by KIA, which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client
in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and
objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by
KIA to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional
information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Wealth Management Services
KIA may be compensated for its wealth management services at the end of the quarter after services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the wealth management agreement, at any time, by providing advance
written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the wealth management agreement within five (5)
business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will
incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination, and such fees will be due and
payable by the Client. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the
Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
KIA does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any Client account other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
KIA does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by KIA are
as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by
any Client. KIA does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a
mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to
its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
KIA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, and estates. The
amount of each type of Client is available on KIA’s Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time
and are updated at least annually by the Advisor. KIA generally requires a minimum account size of $100,000 to
effectively implement its investment process.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
KIA primarily employs a fundamental analysis in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and
analysis from KIA are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third-party research
materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press
releases, and research prepared by others.
Kraematon Investment Advisors, Inc.

Phone: (781) 431-9425 | Fax: (781) 380-3650
Page 7
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity
being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong
investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a
potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the
investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment
performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic
allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 –
Review of Accounts.
As noted above, KIA generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. KIA will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year but may hold for shorter
periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, KIA may also
buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the
fundamentals of the security, sector, or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
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. KIA will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that
the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of
analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic
indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s
review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
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]. The Advisor 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 the Advisor of any changes in financial
condition, goals, or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with certain components of the Advisor’s
investment approach:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well
as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the
overall financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a
large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements
and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a
short time later.

Phone: (781) 431-9425 | Fax: (781) 380-3650
Page 8
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily; therefore, a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have
the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option
contracts are leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an
underlying stock. This leverage can compound gains or losses.
Digital Assets Risks
Digital assets are highly speculative and volatile investments that may become illiquid at any time. Digital assets
are loosely regulated. Clients could lose the entire value of their investment in digital assets and is only suitable
for Clients with a high risk tolerance.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments
involves a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to
discuss these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory, or disciplinary events involving KIA or its owner. KIA values the trust
Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any
advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons
are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with
the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 126869.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
The sole business of KIA and Mr. Clinton is to provide investment advisory services to its Clients. Neither KIA
nor Mr. Clinton is involved in other business endeavors. KIA does not maintain any affiliations with other firms
other than contracted service providers to assist with the servicing of its Client’s accounts.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
KIA has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each
Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with KIA (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed
to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the Client. KIA
and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each Client. It is the
obligation of KIA’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code but also to the
general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and
conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (781) 431-9425 or via email at
gc@kraematonia.com.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
KIA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. KIA does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does
not act as the general partner of a fund or advise an investment company. KIA does not have a material interest
in any securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
KIA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents
a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed and mitigated through policies and procedures. As
Kraematon Investment Advisors, Inc.

Phone: (781) 431-9425 | Fax: (781) 380-3650
Page 9
noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information
controls), gifts and entertainment, outside business activities, and personal securities reporting. When trading
for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by KIA requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the
Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor also adopted written policies and procedures to
detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While KIA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward. At
no time will KIA, or any Supervised Person of KIA, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
KIA does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets
and authorize KIA to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement.
Further, KIA does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a
trade-by-trade basis.
KIA will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Fidelity Clearing and Custody Solutions
and related divisions and entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc., including National Financial Services, LLC and
Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC (collectively “Fidelity”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC.
Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” KIA maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity,
whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Fidelity. Clients are not obligated to use the
recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a
custodian not recommended by KIA.
KIA has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s].
Access to the Fidelity platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Fidelity platform includes brokerage,
custody, administrative support, record keeping, technology, and related services designed to support registered
investment advisors like KIA in serving Clients. These services are intended to serve the best interests of the
Advisor’s Clients.
Fidelity may charge brokerage commissions (securities transaction fees) for effecting certain securities
transactions. Fidelity enables the Advisor to obtain certain no-load mutual funds without securities transaction fees
and other no-load funds at nominal transaction charges. Fidelity’s commission rates are generally considered
discounted from customary retail commission rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees charged by
Fidelity may be higher or lower than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers. Please see Item 14
below for additional information.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars – Soft Dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an
advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with the broker-dealer/custodian in exchange
for research and other services. KIA does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by
any broker-dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the
Custodian. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals – KIA does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing an account.

3. Directed Brokerage – All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis,” where KIA will place
trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client
accounts are traded within their respective brokerage account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any
principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross
transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another
Client’s account[s]). KIA will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and
does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined
by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain
the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. KIA will execute its transactions through the
Custodian as authorized by the Client. KIA may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are
purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts on the same trading day. If a
block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the
close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or
other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any
particular Client accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Gregory Clinton, CCO of KIA.
Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the
Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a
result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify KIA if changes occur in the
Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews
may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions, and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may
also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by KIA
KIA is a fee-based advisory firm that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product.
KIA does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers, or any unrelated
third party. KIA may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, KIA may
receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
As noted in item 12, KIA has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing
Client account[s].

Phone: (781) 431-9425 | Fax: (781) 380-3650
Page 11
As part of the arrangement, Fidelity also makes available to the Advisor, at no additional charge to the Advisor,
certain research and brokerage services, including research services obtained by Fidelity directly from
independent research companies. The Advisor may also receive additional services and support from Fidelity. As
a result of receiving such services for no additional cost, the Advisor may have an incentive to continue to use or
expand the use of Fidelity's services. The Advisor examined this potential conflict of interest when it chose to enter
into the relationship with Fidelity and has determined that the relationship is in the best interests of the Advisor’s
Clients and satisfies its Client obligations, including its duty to seek best execution. Please see Item 12 above.
The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may
benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times
to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from
a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this
Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. In addition, Fidelity has
provided the Advisor with financial support in the launch of the Advisor and reimbursements for various third-party
service providers.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
KIA does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client
referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
The Advisor is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place
all assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and
securities and direct the Advisor to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client
should review statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more
information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
KIA generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts
without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject
to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by
KIA. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such
authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by KIA will be in accordance with each
Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
KIA does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from
the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies; however, the Client retains the
sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither KIA nor its management has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of
KIA to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither KIA nor any of its Advisory Persons have been subject to a
bankruptcy or financial compromise. KIA is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure
Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six
months or more in the future.
