Miki Okamoto-Swanson, CFA 32 3 | P a g e Item 4 – Advisory Business About Our Advisory Business ® Lakeside Advisors, Inc. (Lakeside, us, we, our) is an independent investment management firm registered with the SEC. Lakeside Advisors, Inc., formerly Financial Planning in 1984 to assist individuals with all Resources, Inc., was founded by Robert E. Frey, CFP aspects of financial planning. Since 1984 we have focused on financial planning, however, our primary business is portfolio management for Clients (Clients, you, your). We serve individual investors and we also manage assets for corporations, trusts and retirement plans. ® , President and Chief Lakeside Advisors, Inc. is 100% owned by Robert E. Frey, CFP Compliance Officer. We have one office in Seattle, Washington. Additional investment professionals include: ® ® ® , AIF , Vice President Kristi A. Mandt, CFP Miki Okamoto-Swanson, CFA , Vice President Investment Advisory Services A. Discretionary Portfolio Management We manage each investment portfolio based on the client’s unique and specific needs. Our initial meeting with you starts by understanding who you are in a financial sense. Our service includes one meeting per year. Topics addressed, among others, include: • • • • • • • A review of your investment accounts Retirement plans (401k plan accounts or IRAs, etc.) Insurance contracts Tax related matters Estate documents Personal and family obligations Family and college plans The result of this fact finding is to determine: • • 4 | P a g e Your financial position Financial goals and objectives for today and tomorrow • • • Liquidity needs including cash flow demands Risk tolerance Investment constraints / restrictions This information is used to construct a portfolio(s) that represent a blend of asset classes (stocks, bonds, alternatives, cash) for your risk and return characteristics. If you have specific investment restrictions, these will be documented in the written agreement we have with you. We reserve the right not open an account or close an account if the investment restrictions are so extensive that in our sole determination we cannot properly invest or diversify your portfolio(s). You update your investment restrictions in writing. Investment restrictions are not implemented until accepted by Lakeside. Lakeside and our associated person create no specific proprietary products or services which are recommended to clients. We provide investment advice on the following types of securities or investment products: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Exchange-listed securities Securities traded over-the-counter Foreign securities (via American Depository Receipts – traded on an exchange) Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper) Commercial paper Certificates of deposit Municipal securities Variable life insurance Variable annuities Mutual fund shares United States government securities Options contracts on securities Interests in partnerships investing in real estate Interests in partnerships investing in oil and gas interests Interests in partnerships investing in other forms of assets such as equipment leasing and Community Access Television (CATV) 5 | P a g e Mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are typically used when they provide diversified access across a sector where we desire exposure but lack specific expertise (for example, investing in offshore securities, including foreign equities, high yield bonds or alternative strategies). Class Action Claims We work with a third-party service provider, Chicago Clearing Corporation (CCC), which provides class action litigation monitoring and securities claim filing services. CCC will complete claims for all of our clients who have accounts custodied at Pershing, LLC (Pershing) and do not opt out of such a service. You may change your opt-out election at any time by notifying us in writing. In return for this service, CCC receives 15% of any settlement collected. In an event that payment from the SEC Fair Fund claims do not allow CCC to deduct its fee from the distribution payment, Lakeside elected that CCC deduct the fee for any SEC fair fund distributions from other non-SEC fair fund distributions. Lakeside does not receive any fees or remuneration in connection with this service nor does it receive any fees from the third-party provider(s). Because we are providing this service through CCC, we no longer monitor class action suits or process claim forms on your behalf (whether or not you participate in the service CCC provides). We are not responsible or liable for: (a) any assistance we provide to CCC concerning monitoring or processing class action claims or (b) any CCC act in monitoring or processing such claims. IRA Rollover Lakeside does NOT recommend to our clients that they roll-over their employer sponsored retirement plan assets, such as 401k plan accounts, to an IRA that we would manage for that client. We rely on the client to make the rollover determination independent of Lakeside. If the determination is made by the client, we will provide information necessary for the client to facilitate movement of those assets from the client’s employer sponsored retirement plan (current or prior employer) to an IRA we manage. B. Non-Discretionary Portfolio Services We provide non-discretionary investment advice to ERISA Plan Sponsors, the Plan and Plan Participants. Advice to ERISA plans is generally provided under ERISA Section 3(21) and include the following fiduciary services: • • • 6 | P a g e Provide non-discretionary investment advice to Trustees of the plan about investment alternatives available for the plan in accordance with the Plan’s investment policies and objectives. Trustees shall have the final decision-making authority regarding the initial selection, retention and removal of investment options. Assist Trustees with the selection of a broad range of investment options. Assist in the development of an Investment Policy Statement (IPS). The IPS • • • establishes the investment policies and objectives for the Plan and shall set forth the asset classes and investment categories to be offered under the Plan, as well as criteria and standards for selecting and monitoring investments. Trustees shall have the ultimate responsibility and authority to establish such policies and objectives and to adopt the IPS. Prepare periodic investment advisory reports that document consistency of fund management and performance to the guidelines set forth in the IPS and make recommendations to maintain or remove and replace investment options. Meet with Trustees on a periodic basis to discuss reports and recommendations. Provide investment advice to Trustees with respect to the selection of a qualified default investment alternative (QDIA) for participants who fail to make an investment election. Trustees retain the sole responsibility to provide all notices to participants required under ERISA section 404(c)(5), if applicable. Non-discretionary portfolio services advice provided to ERISA Plan Sponsors and Trustees are charged only a fee. We do not receive any additional fees or compensation directly or indirectly. C.

Assets Under Management (as of January 31, 2025) Type Assets Under Management Discretionary $374,737,716 Non-Discretionary $ 10,535,430 Total $385,273,146 Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Initial Consultation When you contact us for an initial consultation, we provide a list of documents for you to gather before the initial meeting is scheduled. The list includes your employee benefits, investment accounts, insurance contracts, tax returns, and personal documents such as estate documents, mortgage, etc. Our fee for the initial consultation starts at $3,000 and the fee varies depending upon the complexity of your situation. We will provide you with the initial consultation fee estimate 8 | P a g e after we receive the documents from you. The initial consultation fee covers our review of the documents you provided to us and a one to two-hour meeting. Discretionary Management of Accounts Our annual asset based fee is: 0.6% per year of the net assets we manage for you which is billed quarterly in advance of our services Our fees are calculated based on the value at the end of previous quarter. We consider cash to be an asset class and include it in our fee calculation. In a low-interest environment, our fees could exceed the money market yield. Our fees are negotiable and vary from the standard fee above based on the complexity of the account, size of the account, number of accounts, client-specific facts or circumstances, and other considerations. We sometimes agree to offer certain clients a fee schedule that is lower than that of any other comparable clients in the same investment style. We sometimes also choose to waive all or a portion of our negotiated fee for a given period. Finally, we commit that we have provided and will continue to provide certain clients the lowest fee for a particular investment style and for comparable services. Although we do not impose a minimum account size to open or maintain an account, we do impose a minimum annual fee of $600 ($150.00 per quarter). We pro-rate the fee for the number of days in a calendar quarter that we provide services to you. In cases where an account is terminated during a calendar quarter, we pro-rate the fee for the number of days the services were provided. We promptly refund any of the pre- paid and unearned fees to you. Fees are charged on the value of the assets we manage and reported by your qualified independent third party, custodian (see Item 12, Brokerage Practices). Payment of Advisory Fees: Direct Debiting 9 | P a g e Most clients authorize us to have our advisory fees directly debited from your custodial account by your custodian upon the presentation of a debit request from Lakeside. The month following the deduction of our advisory fees by your custodian, you will receive a statement from your custodian which shows all the holdings in your account(s) and the deposits or withdrawals from your account (including the advisory fees paid to Lakeside). Please note that your custodian does not verify the accuracy of our fee calculations. Should you have questions on our fee calculations, please contact us. Pay by Check If you prefer, you can elect to pay our advisory fee upon presentation of an invoice. In this case we will mail you an invoice and you send us a check. We request our fees be paid within 15 days of the date of our invoice. Financial Planning and Consulting Services Fees for financial planning or consulting services are not negotiable. Fees are offered two ways for financial planning or consulting services: Hourly: 1) at $250.00 per hour Fixed Fee: 2) based upon an estimate of the hours at $250.00 per hour or as agreed to by Lakeside and the specific client. We estimate the number of hours and fee to meet with, work on and present your financial plan. One half of the estimated fee is paid in advance of our service with the execution of the Planning Agreement. We consider the “Plan” completed when the Planning Report is delivered to you. At this time, we will present the final invoice to you and request payment within 15 days. If you choose the Fixed Fee, we will bill one quarter of the fee with the signing of the Agreement. We then bill you each quarter for the balance of the annual service. Each fixed fee agreement is subject to re-negotiation. It does not automatically renew. Exception: if we mutually agree and document an additional service over and above those specified in the original contract covering planning services for the year, we will bill at our standard hourly rate, in addition to the fixed annual fee. If you terminate a Financial Planning agreement before the plan is delivered to you, we will bill you for the time spent on your Plan at $250 per hour. Unearned fees are promptly refunded, earned fees due are billed to you. 10 | P a g e Other Fees Our management fees do not include the following fees and expenses.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management We do not manage Client accounts with so-called performance-based fees. Our fees are described under Item 5. 11 | P a g e Item 7 – Types of Clients Portfolio Management Services (Discretionary Management of Accounts) are provided to: • • • • • Individuals and high net worth individuals Trusts and estates Individual retirement plan participant accounts Not for profit entities Corporation or other business entities (Limited Liability Companies, Limited Partnerships, etc.) We do not impose a minimum asset level to open and maintain a portfolio management account.

Financial Planning and Consulting Services are provided to: • Individuals and high net worth individuals Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis Lakeside uses fundamental and technical analysis in formulating our investment advice to you. Please see Item 4 for a list of the types of securities we use for client portfolios. Fundamental and Technical Analysis: Fundamental analysis attempts to determine a security’s intrinsic value. Technical analysis uses data to determine patterns and trends related to the securities price. We believe the value of any security is permanently linked to fundamentals which determine the expectations of the present value of the cash flows a company can generate, the ability to grow the cash flow and the uncertainty of the discount rate applied to the cash flows available to the owners of the company (stockholders) that is reflected in the company’s stock price. Our investment decisions begin with fundamental values and expectations. The marketplace helps to make the final decision to buy or sell. Our investment philosophy involves recognizing the direction of supply and demand forces for specific assets and taking appropriate actions. 12 | P a g e Sources of Information The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, third party research papers, corporate rating services, timing services, corporate filings with the SEC and company press releases. Investment Strategies and Portfolio Composition Consulting Services : Our strategy for consulting clients is typically oriented toward long- term investments, including both mutual funds and individual securities, with good fundamentals. Portfolio Management : All the discretionary accounts are managed using an active approach. Although each client’s account is managed based on your unique needs, we have three main strategies: 1) Fixed Income Strategy Preservation of capital and low volatility is the goal for this strategy. Portfolios consist of laddered taxable bonds, non-taxable bonds and certificates of deposit. We employ this strategy as a conservative approach for preservation of capital and income generation. 2) Balanced Strategy Fixed Income and Equity Strategies are blended for your specific needs as appropriate. Balanced account allocations are never static, they move with the markets. Some clients might be 50-50 (equity to fixed income) but others might be 30-70 (equity to fixed income), or 70-30 (equity to fixed income). The percentage allocated to either strategy is based upon your income needs, safety of • principal and risk tolerances. • For the fixed income allocation we follow our fixed income strategy above. For the equity allocation we follow our equity strategy described below. 3) Equity Strategy This strategy aims for capital appreciation primarily through the following equity based securities: 13 | P a g e • • • Mutual funds ETFs Individual equities listed on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC) market The equities used include small and large capitalization securities and growth, value or turnaround situations. Positions are initiated based on strict sell targets. Investment strategies used to implement investment advice include: • • • • • • Long term purchases (securities held at least a year) Short term purchases (securities sold within a year) Trading (securities sold within 30 days) Short sales Margin transactions (Margin involves borrowing money from your custodian using the securities in your account as collateral. As a result, you pay interest on the additional dollars you are borrowing to increase your opportunity for profit by leveraging your purchasing power. Margin is often an excellent strategy for clients with large, low cost stock positions where selling the stock creates excessive tax liability. Margin allows you to borrow against securities positions and using the borrowed dollars to diversify your holdings / exposure to the markets). Option writing, including covered options, uncovered options or spread strategies All investments carry the risk of loss of your invested assets. There is no guarantee that any investment strategy will meet its objective or be profitable. Depending on the types of securities purchased or sold for your accounts, you may face the following risks: Interest Rate Risk • • Market Risk : Fluctuations in interest rates may cause the price of fixed income securities to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to decline. : The price of a security, bond or mutual fund may decline due to the move in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and market • Inflation Risk volatility. • Currency Risk : Inflation will erode purchasing power. : The change in value of investments overseas due to currency • Reinvestment Risk fluctuation (exchange rate risk) which may affect foreign issuers (through American Depository Receipts) or ETFs which replicate offshore indexes or sectors. : The proceeds and interest income from an investment would • Business Risk be reinvested at a lower interest rate. : The risk associated with a particular industry or a particular 14 | P a g e company within an industry. • Financial Risk : A company which uses debt to finance growth or operations would • Liquidity Risk face difficulties meeting financial obligations. : Holding illiquid securities would restrict the ability to sell the investment in a timely manner or at an advantageous price. Lakeside does not typically invest in illiquid securities for clients. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information There are no disciplinary activities past or present to disclose. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Insurance Agent – Broker Kristi A. Mandt, Vice President, is a life insurance agent appointed with various insurance companies. Kristi is also Owner / President of Millikin Mandt Associates, Inc., from which she receives compensation. Through Millikin Mandt Associates, Inc., Kristi provides certain advising and technical services to Lakeside Advisors, Inc. Kristi receives commission compensation through third party insurance companies by implementing specific insurance needs of clients, though, this does not often occur. Lakeside also provides insurance recommendations for: • • • • Health Disability Long term care Property and casualty coverage Frequent consultation occurs with specialists, who are most often agents, brokers or insurance company representatives. Lakeside makes client referrals to such persons or companies but receives no compensation for doing so if you decide to purchase or exchange insurance products. Item 11 – Code of Ethics Code of Ethics 15 | P a g e We are required by regulation to have certain internal procedures to address potential and actual conflicts of interest. At Lakeside we follow our own advice. As a result, when appropriate we often purchase or sell the same securities that are recommended to you, our client. The Code of Ethics (Code) applies to all of our employees. The Code describes our fiduciary obligations to clients, the standard of conduct expected of fiduciaries. The Code includes, but not limited to, the following topics: • • • • Confidentiality of client information (described in our Privacy Disclosure you receive) A prohibition on the use of material, non-public information (insider trading) Limitations and restrictions on the acceptance of gifts, including reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items Personal securities trading procedures including disclosure of all holdings, all members of an employee’s household / beneficial ownership accounts (for example, husband / wife accounts, minor children accounts, individual retirement accounts, trusts, etc.) and brokerage accounts Upon initial hire and annually thereafter, all employees of Lakeside must acknowledge their receipt, review of and understanding of the Code as amended. Personal Trading Employees may have a position in securities recommended to clients. In addition, we permit employees to purchase or sell securities which we recommend to clients for their own account or accounts controlled by them. Trading in the same securities is a conflict of interest between you and our employees. Our Code mitigates this conflict due to the topics covered by the Code and the periodic reviews we conduct of all employee’s personal holdings and trading. The Code restricts trading in securities by our employees while the securities are being traded by us or being considered to be included in the list of securities currently held in client’s accounts. In general, employees are expected to trade a security for their personal accounts only after trading of that same security has been completed in client accounts. Except we sometimes combine the transactions of employees and clients together on an aggregated basis. When this occurs, employee and client accounts will share any commission costs equally and receive securities at a total average price. 16 | P a g e We create a trade order (specifying each participating account) and its allocation prior to the entry of the aggregated order. As required, we retain the records of each order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated to clients first, and to employees after client orders are completely filled. If there are any exceptions, it will be explained on the order. The Code requires the personal trades by our employees to be approved by our Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) before execution. These are called reportable transactions. Transactions, which do not require prior approval, include: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Ongoing participation in an issuer’s dividend and stock purchase plan Any transaction over which the employee does not have any direct or indirect influence or control or involuntary transactions, such as mergers, inheritances and gifts Ongoing participation in a systematic investment in mutual funds or other securities Transactions involving the purchase and sale of mutual funds (open-end) and money market instruments such as certificates of deposits (CDs) US Government Bonds / Bills / Notes Our Code requires employees to report all personal securities transactions except for exempt or non-reportable securities listed above. Our employees are also required to receive preclearance by the CCO for the purchase and/or sale of any Private Placement. Our Code also prohibits participation in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) by our employees. We review personal trading records on a quarterly basis. As stated above, initially upon hire and annually thereafter we require: • • • • • Disclosure of all brokerage accounts owned by the employee and family members Disclosure of all security holdings in brokerage accounts or in certificate form Disclosure of all members of the employee’s household Disclosure of all beneficial ownership accounts (those where the employee has the rights or authority to the account and assets) Certification to the Code, its requirements and the individual’s understanding and compliance with the Code Prohibition on Use of Insider Information 17 | P a g e We prohibit our employees from the use of material, non-public inside information. This includes taking any action for their own account(s), accounts of any client or communicating the information to any person outside of our President / Chief Compliance Officer until such time the information is available to the general public. Material, non- public inside information is defined as information that an investor would find useful to determine to purchase or sell a security. The information is material and non-public if the information is not available to the investing public via newspaper, internet or other broadly distributed media. Clients can request a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting our Chief Compliance Officer, Robert E. Frey at (Tel: 206-285-1730, Fax: 206-267-2316) or bob@lakesideadvisors.com. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices Portfolio Management Clients Recommended Broker We use Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (PAS), a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Security Investors Protection Corporation (SIPC) as introducing broker and Pershing as clearing broker. PAS and Pershing are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY Mellon). We require individual clients to open and maintain their advisory accounts at PAS. Trust accounts custodied at Dorsey & Whitney Trust Company (D&W Trust) are held at SEI Investments Company (SEI). Although client assets are custodied at Pershing, we do have brokerage discretionary authority that we use on a limited basis for fixed income security transactions. This means that we will “trade away” from PAS for your account in the purchase or sale of fixed income securities (corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government bonds, etc.). In such a case, PAS charges a $10.00 “trade away fee” per each ticket per account when we execute a trade with another broker or dealer. These transactions are typically handled by Pershing on an agency basis, clearly showing the ticket and any other minor handling charges. When we evaluate third party brokers or dealers for fixed income transactions, we evaluate those brokers or dealers on a number of factors, including the following: • • • • • 18 | P a g e Execution capability Financial responsibility and responsiveness Expertise in corporate, municipal and US Government bonds Reputation, integrity and financial stability Competitiveness of price negotiation and spreads • • • • • • • Promptness of execution Past history of execution of trades Clearance and settlement capabilities Quality of confirmations and account statements Access to markets Sophistication of trading facilities Fixed income inventory Our relationship with PAS allows Lakeside to use the Pershing platform. Pershing provides both brokerage and custodial services to our clients. We evaluated Pershing based on the same criteria we use when we evaluate third party brokers or dealers for fixed income securities. For other types of securities (mutual funds, ETFs, individual stocks (equity), options, warrants, etc.), we believe that Pershing offers Lakeside and our clients value, quality execution and service. Pershing, as one of the largest, most respected custodians / brokers in the United States, offers global financial services to many clients and investment advisory firms. We periodically evaluate all the brokers or dealers we use for our client transactions to ensure we are using brokers who provide best execution. Note that best execution is a concept and not a defined term. Best execution is driven in part from the types of securities we use in client accounts, the factors listed above and includes commissions and price negotiation. However, not all factors apply to any specific transaction. This means that we negotiate bond prices at all brokers including Pershing, taking into account the quantity of bonds available. Trade Aggregation and Allocation Block Trading To facilitate our obligations of best execution, we often aggregate multiple client transactions in the same security together in a block or bunched trade. When using block trading, we are provided with a larger order which gives us the opportunity to negotiate a better price on the security. When employing a block trade: • • • o All clients participating in the block are known at the time of the order’s entry, including each client’s percentage of the block. Blocks are completed by day-end. If they are not completed, the securities purchased are average priced and allocated across all participating clients. We decide the next day whether to implement the balance of the order. Block Trade Allocations: 19 | P a g e Partially filled order are allocated on a pro-rata basis. o o o  When a block is filled (full or partial) at several prices through multiple trades, an average price (and commission) is used when allocating the transactions to client accounts. Only trades executed within the block on the single day are combined for purposes of calculating the average price. To protect clients from multiple ticket charges or commissions on smaller allocations we will allocate as indicated: o If a partial fill for a block is completed, we allocate the full amount of smaller participating clients (100 shares or under) to fully complete the order. This eliminates multiple charges for smaller allocations, thus saving clients’ money. The balance of the block will then be pro- rated to the balance of the participating client accounts. If employee trades are blocked with those of customers in a block with a partial fill, employee transactions are excluded until all client accounts are filled. Please note that block trades are sometimes executed at a different price for different custodians and are not aggregated across custodians. We also enter trades individually and randomly pursuant to client contributions or withdrawals from their accounts, to rebalance an account or re-allocate an account due to a change in a client’s personal facts or circumstances. As part of our account review process we conduct random reviews which often cause us to re-balance an account or to apply a new target security to the account. We typically manage all client accounts on an individualized basis. It is this personal and customized approach that we believe is a key to our customer service. As a result, block trading is most often used in a trade away for fixed income securities. Block trading is utilized only when there is a client benefit to do so. Block trading in open-end mutual funds does not derive a price or execution benefit as open ended mutual funds are purchased and sold at the day’s net asset value. Trade Allocation The prime determinants for allocating securities to client accounts are overall market exposure, industry sector exposure and cash availability of clients’ portfolio. Other factors include account cash percentage, asset class allocation, duration, and security trade minimums, the need for liquidity in an account, each account’s own investment restriction, the size of the account and the avoidance of odd lots or excessive transaction costs relative to the size of the account, and the need to rebalance positions held by an account due to capital infusions or withdrawals. 20 | P a g e Prohibited Trading Practices • Lakeside by policy does not participate in: • • Cross transactions where the buying or selling of securities from one client portfolio management account directly into another client account (called cross transactions or agency cross transactions) Principal transactions where the securities sold by clients are purchased by Lakeside and then sold to another client. As indicated above, we do purchase or sell fixed income securities to other broker-dealers who buy or sell fixed income securities on a principal basis (the price includes a mark-up or mark-down retained by that third party dealer) Soft dollars – we do not compensate broker-dealers for third-party research services (known as soft dollar agreement) with the use of client commissions. We pay for our research tools directly to the provider via check. Directed Brokerage Although we require individual clients to custody their accounts at PAS/Pershing, we do not consider this a directed brokerage relationship as it does not meet the criteria for soft dollars contained under Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act. Clients should understand that when we trade away from your custodian we do so typically for fixed income securities only. We do not have clients who direct us to use a specific broker or dealer for their transactions. Clients could do so, and we reserve the right to accept, or not accept such direction, in our sole discretion. We place most transactions at Pershing for the following reason: Pershing as a globally recognized name has one of the best reputations in the United States as a broker, dealer and custodian. For the type of business we conduct, our size and the securities we use, we believe that Pershing provides us and our clients with quality execution. We trade away from Pershing for fixed income securities so we can access specialty brokers or dealers in state specific municipal bonds and other specialty fixed income situations we believe are of benefit to our clients and the services we provide. Ticket Charges 21 | P a g e PAS charges the following ticket charges for security transactions: Type of Security Ticket Charge Note / Comment Mutual Funds None FundVest Platform at Pershing Mutual Funds $15.00 to $20.00 Depends on the fund at Pershing $8.00 $8.00 $10.00 Per transaction Per transaction Per transaction $10.00 Per transaction Equities Fixed Income Trade Away Fees (Fixed Income) Trade Away Fees (Equity) Paper subscription fee PAS charges a paper delivery subscription fee of $2.00 per month, per account. The subscription fee for paper tax documents is $10 per year, per account. Any account which pays a monthly paper delivery subscription fee is not subject to the $10 tax document fee. These fees can be eliminated either by electing e-delivery in your PAS account opening paperwork or signing up for e-delivery at any time after the account is opened. Item 13 – Review of Accounts Periodic Review – Portfolio Management Accounts Our President and two Vice Presidents are responsible for reviewing portfolio management accounts. Our portfolio management accounts are reviewed indirectly on a continuous basis by reviewing the securities held by all of our clients. Client accounts are reviewed at least quarterly for account level compliance. We request meetings to review your accounts annually in person or via telephone. Please contact us immediately when your personal or family circumstances change. These impact the investment advice and decisions we make on your behalf in managing your assets. The following factors trigger more frequent reviews: • • 22 | P a g e Client’s investment exposure (for example, major shift in stock market trends) Federal income tax (estimate of quarterly income tax payments) • o Changes in the client’s personal life (marriage, birth of a child, retirement, etc.) Please remember to contact us immediately when life changing events occur to you or your family. Some accounts have no or fewer transaction activities than others. Effecting no or few transactions does not mean we aren’t performing our fiduciary duty and monitoring those assets on an ongoing and continuous basis. Periodic Reviews for Financial Planning Not applicable for Financial Planning Clients unless contracted for in the agreement for service. Regular Reports Portfolio Management accounts: You receive a quarterly report from us which documents the performance of your account at the end of each quarter for the calendar year to date. The report includes: • • • A portfolio appraisal (holdings / positions) Performance The Statement of Management Fees Our reports are provided separate from and in addition to the statements you receive from your custodian. These statements are typically delivered directly to you in addition to all transaction confirmations from the custodian. We receive electronic copies of all of the confirmations and monthly reports sent to you. We encourage you to compare your statements provided directly to you by your independent, third party, qualified custodian to the reports provided by Lakeside. We use the information provided by your custodian to price the securities and generate our reports. Please note the total value of your accounts at Pershing sometimes differ from the reports we provide. This is due to a number of factors including but not limited to: • • • • Price errors which occur from time to time and which we would overwrite Accrued interest due or payable Posting (or not posting) dividends or interest The difference between trade date and settlement date accounting 23 | P a g e Each discretionary client receives Lakeside reports at least quarterly. We will provide special reporting upon request. All clients should receive statements directly from Pershing or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains your investment assets at least quarterly, but possibly more frequently (monthly). If you do not receive your custodial reports, please contact us. Financial Planning: Each financial planning client receives at least once per year: • • An updated balance sheet A summary of the progress of your investments Other additional reports may include: • • Retirement funding progress Real estate investment performance depending on the client needs Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation We do not compensate any person or company, directly or indirectly, for the introduction of clients to our firm. Item 15 – Custody Lakeside does not have physical custody of your funds or securities (see Items 4 and 5 regarding the directly debiting of advisory fees and Item 13). Your assets are held at a third-party qualified custodian in a separate account in your name. In the written agreement with you, we are authorized to directly debit our fees from your custodial accounts (see Item 5). Item 16 – Investment Discretion We are provided with your written authority to utilize investment discretionary authority in the agreement we have with you. This means that we have the authority to select the securities and the amount of securities 24 | P a g e to purchase and sell for your account(s) consistent with your stated investment objectives and limitations, if any. When selecting securities and determining amounts, we base the investment decision on the investment policy, cash flow needs and client specific restrictions. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities (i.e., Proxy Voting) We do not have, for any client, the authority or responsibility to vote proxies on your behalf. As a result, we do not have or maintain proxy voting policies or procedures. Proxy materials are sent directly to you by your custodian. If we inadvertently receive proxy materials for you / your account, we forward those immediately to you. Clients are responsible for voting proxies for all securities maintained in their portfolios. If you have questions regarding proxy matters, please call us. We will provide assistance in making the determination on how to vote the proxy. However, you have the authority (final decision) of how you will vote the proxy. In addition, we do not provide guidance or advice on corporate action matters, including lawsuits among others. Item 18 – Financial Information Registered investment advisers are required to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures. We do not have any financial commitment or issue that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients. We have not been, nor have any principals been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 25 | P a g e Brochure Supplement Part 2B of Form ADV: Item 1 Cover Page Lakeside Advisors, Inc. 1115 East Denny Way Seattle, WA 98122 (206) 285-1730 (206) 267-2316 This brochure supplement provides information about our employees: Robert E.
