We have been registered investment advisors since September 2008. The Firm is owned by and Percheron Asset Management Group, Inc. and Markpet, LLC In our capacity as an advisor, we offer a combination of the following advisory services: The Lighthouse Plan: Under this plan, Lantern Wealth Advisors provides continuous advice to clients regarding investment of the client funds based upon the individual needs of the client. Through personal discussions in which goals and objectives based on a client's particular circumstances are established, Lantern Wealth Advisors develops a client's personal investment policy and creates and manages a portfolio based on that policy. Lantern Wealth Advisors will manage advisory accounts on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. As such, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives of the client (i.e., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income). Under the Lighthouse Plan, Lantern Wealth Advisors utilizes models, both in-house, and provided by third-party providers, which are based on the client's risk profiles, investment horizons, and individual needs. The Lantern Select Plan: Under this plan, Lantern Wealth Advisors will perform management searches of various unaffiliated independent registered investment advisers. Based on a client's individual circumstances and needs, Lantern Wealth Advisors will determine which independent adviser's portfolio management is appropriate for that client. This determination may be made on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Factors considered in making this determination include account size, risk tolerance, the opinion of each client and the investment philosophy of the independent adviser. Certain independent advisers made available through this program may require the client to enter into a separate discretionary agreement between the adviser and the client. The independent advisers may engage the client directly, or they may be made available through a third party program provider with which Lantern Wealth Advisors has entered into an agreement in order to access independent advisers made available on the provider's platform. Whether or not clients are permitted to impose restrictions on investing will depend upon the determination of each independent adviser. We offer Direct Indexing (DI) strategies to certain clients through an agreement with third-party advisers, who acts as a sub-adviser or platform provider to facilitate the trading, management, and recordkeeping of individual equity portfolios.Direct indexing involves investing in a customized basket of individual stocks designed to track a specific benchmark index. Clients participating in this service may establish custom restrictions, such as excluding specific companies or sectors based on personal preferences or values. The primary objective of our direct indexing offering is enhanced tax-loss harvesting and portfolio customization. Please see Appendix 1 to this Brochure for complete disclosure regarding this program. The Lantern Advisor Select Plan: Under this plan, Lantern Wealth Advisors provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to clients within a wrap fee program. Each client in the wrap fee program pays a single all inclusive "wrap" fee for investment advisory services and execution costs. Therefore, such accounts are not charged brokerage fees and commissions and custodian charges as described in Item 5 below. The wrap fee is an asset based fee which includes the management fee paid to Lantern Wealth Advisors for its services as portfolio manager as well as compensation paid to the broker-dealer, custodian, and clearing firm for services rendered in the execution of client transactions. 4 We generally manage these accounts similarly to Lighthouse Plan accounts. Please see Appendix 1 to this Brochure for complete disclosure regarding this program. Financial Planning: Lantern Wealth Advisors provides individualized advice in the form of a Financial Plan. Clients purchasing this service will receive a written report, providing the client with a detailed financial plan designed to achieve his or her stated financial goals and objectives. The financial plan will address any or all of the following areas: Personal, Education, Tax and Cash Flow, Death and Disability, Retirement and Investments. Consulting: Lantern Wealth Advisors also offers clients the ability to receive individualized investment advice on a more limited basis. This may include advice on isolated area(s) of concern such as estate planning, retirement planning, reviewing clients existing portfolios, or any other specific topic. This service also provides specific consultation and administrative services regarding investment and financial concerns of the client. IRA Rollover Recommendations Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the following acknowledgment to you. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule's provisions, we must: • Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); • Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); • Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments; • Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; • Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and • Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in your best interest. Assets Under Management: As of December 31, 2025, we provide continuous management services for $306,895,063 in client assets on a discretionary basis, and $12,970,154 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis. Item 5 Fees and Compensation The Lighthouse Plan: The annual fee for The Lighthouse Plan services will be charged as a percentage of assets under management, according to the following schedules: 5 Equities and Balanced Accounts Assets Under Management Annual Fee (%) $0 to $49,999 $50,000 to $99,999 $100,000 to $249,999 $250,000 to $499,999 $500,000 to $999,999 $1,000,000+ 2.50% 2.25% 2.00% 1.75% 1.65% 1.50% Fixed Income Portfolios Assets Under Management Annual Fee (%) $250,000 to $499,999 $500,000 to $999,999 $1,000,000+ 0.95% 0.85% 0.75% A minimum of $25,000 of assets under management is required. This account size may be negotiable under certain circumstances. Lantern Wealth Advisors will quote an exact percentage to each client based on both the nature and total dollar value of that account. Lantern Wealth Advisors may group certain related client accounts for the purposes of achieving the minimum account size and determining the annualized fee. Depending on account size and other factors, lower rates may apply and Lantern Wealth Advisors reserves the right to reduce fees. The agreed upon fees are specified in the client agreement. Clients are not charged additional fees for the use of models, whether in-house or third-party provided. Our annual fee is billed and payable on a pro-rata basis, quarterly in advance, based upon the market value of the assets being managed by us on the last day of the previous quarter (or the fair market value of the assets in the absence of market value). The initial fee will be calculated on the value of the initial assets in the account and shall cover the initial quarter pro-rated, based on the number of remaining days in such quarter. Adjustments will be made for deposits and withdrawals that result in a charge or reimbursement in excess of $100 for the quarter. If the portfolio management agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar quarter, our fees will apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the management fee is payable in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. In the event the portfolio management agreement is terminated, the fee for the final billing period will be prorated through the effective date of termination, and the outstanding or unearned portion of the fee will be charged or refunded to you, as appropriate. Our management fee is negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances. Clients will never be charged more than $1,200 six or more months in advance. The Lantern Select Plan: The fee schedule for participation in this program will vary based on the fees assessed by the independent adviser, and will be agreed to in writing by the client, the independent adviser, and Lantern Wealth Advisors. Lantern Wealth Advisors will receive a portion of this fee, which also includes a clearing fee charged by the custodian. If a third-party program is used, 6 the fee paid by the client will include fees payable to the program provider, Lantern Wealth Advisors, the custodian, and any independent manager(s) accessed through the program. Clients utilizing the Direct Indexing service may incur additional fees separate from our standard advisory fee. Please see Appendix 1 to this Brochure for specific information regarding fees, billing practices, minimum required investments and termination of advisory agreements. The Lantern Advisor Select Plan: All managed account clients can elect to participate in the wrap fee program sponsored by Lantern Wealth Advisors, and in such case, clients will not pay brokerage commissions for securities and other fees for the execution of securities transactions, rather, they will pay a wrap fee which covers Lantern Wealth Advisor's fee as well as fees associated with the execution of securities transactions. See Form ADV Part 2A - Appendix 1 for a description of the wrap fee program that we sponsor. Financial Planning: Lantern Wealth Advisors charges a fixed fee of $4,000 for preparation of an initial financial plan. An additional fee of $1,750 will be charged each time the financial plan is reviewed and updated, if this service is selected by the client. Financial planning fees are negotiable at the discretion of the Firm, depending on the nature and complexity of each client's circumstances. All fees are agreed upon prior to entering into a contract with any client. Financial planning fees will be invoiced. A retainer may be requested upon completion of Lantern Wealth Advisors' fact-finding session with the client; however, advance payment will never exceed $1,200 for work that will not be completed within six months. The balance will be due upon completion of the plan. The length of time it will take to provide a financial plan will depend on each client's personal situation. Typically, however, the financial plan will be presented to the client within 90 days of the contract date, provided that all information needed to prepare the financial plan has been promptly provided by the client. If either party chooses not to proceed after receipt of the retainer and before the financial planning process begins, 50% of the retainer fee will be refunded. Consulting: Lantern Wealth Advisors consulting fees will be calculated based on an hourly charge of $300 to $850 per hour for specific consultation and administrative services, depending on the nature and complexity of the individual client's personal circumstances and consulting needs. All fees are agreed upon prior to entering into a contract with any client. The client will be invoiced quarterly in advance. A retainer may be requested upon completion of Lantern Wealth Advisors' fact-finding session with the client; however, advance payment will never exceed $1,200 for work that will not be completed within six months. If either party chooses not to proceed with the consulting services prior to the beginning of the on- going work, 50% of the retainer will be refunded. Individuals of Lantern Wealth Advisors may also be registered representatives of Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc, its affiliated FINRA member broker dealer, as well as insurance agents or brokers with Lantern Insurance Brokerage, Inc. ("Lantern Insurance"), its affiliated insurance agency. Financial Planning and Consulting recommendations may include products offered by these companies. If a Financial Planning or Consulting client executes recommended securities transactions through associated persons of Lantern Wealth Advisors in their separate capacities as registered representatives or insurance agents, these individuals will earn commissions which are separate and distinct from fees charged by Lantern Wealth Advisors for advisory services. This creates a conflict of interest as these representatives may be incented to recommend products based upon the 7 compensation received, rather than on the client's needs. All investment adviser representatives of Lantern Wealth Advisors have a fiduciary duty to make recommendations that are in the best interest of the firm's clients. In some instances in which clients pay both an advisory fee and commissions, depending on the size of the transaction, advisory fees may be discounted at Lantern Wealth Advisors' discretion. Commissions will not be credited towards future advisory fees. Financial Planning and Consultation clients are under no obligation to implement plan recommendations or to purchase products through Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. or Lantern Insurance. General Fee Information: Clients will incur certain charges associated with their accounts, including, but not limited to, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, fees for the paper delivery of statements and confirmations, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts. With the exception of those participating in the wrap fee program, these clients will also incur charges associated with securities transactions, including service charges, custodial charges and brokerage charges. Such charges and fees are exclusive of, and in addition to, Lantern Wealth Advisors' fee, and Lantern Wealth Advisors shall not receive any portion of these fees and expenses - although our affiliated company Herold & Lantern Investments will receive a portion of these fees or expenses. Clients will also incur fees charged by third parties, such as the account custodian, for ancillary services such as returned checks, safekeeping of physical certificates, paper statement and confirmation fees, and asset or wire transfers. The current ancillary fee schedule applicable to client accounts is outlined below (the highest possible fee is shown, some custodians may charge lower fees for similar services). These fees are subject to change without notice; an updated schedule will be provided upon request and will also be available on our public website: www.heroldlantern.com. Check Processing Requests: $20 to place a stop on a check $30 for a returned check $12.50 for check reorder of Corestone accounts Wire Transfers: $30 for a wire transfer Security Transfers: $135 per security for physical transfer of securities $115 per account for transfers to other firms $25 per security for Direct Registration transfers Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses: All fees paid to Lantern Wealth Advisors for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund 8 also imposes sales charges, a client will pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of Lantern Wealth Advisors. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by Lantern Wealth Advisors which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and the fees charged by Lantern Wealth Advisors to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. Where acting as an investment adviser representative and the Advisory Client is investing in mutual funds, ETFs and/or money market funds through Lantern Wealth Advisors affiliate Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., a service-level fee will be received by the affiliate company commensurate with the fees as disclosed in the prospectus or as explained herein. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. will receive compensation; however the Investment Advisor Representative does not share in any amounts paid to Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. Various share classes are offered by mutual funds and are available to Lantern Wealth Advisory clients. Lantern Wealth Advisors will evaluate the share classes, and will attempt to select the lowest cost share class for each investor. At times, the lowest cost share class may not be the most cost effective due to brokerage platform fees. If this is the case, Lantern Wealth Advisors will purchase the fund that is most cost effective. While Lantern Wealth Advisors seeks to avoid using share classes that charge 12b-1 fees, if such share class is the only means by which to satisfy the investment need, this share class may be purchased. Lantern Wealth Advisors and its investment advisory representatives are not directly compensated by these 12b-1 fees. However, if the mutual fund is purchased on the platform of our affiliate, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., the 12b-1 fee will be earned by the broker-dealer. The use of 12b-1 paying share classes versus non 12b-1 paying share classes may have a negative impact on performance and return. Money market fund balances that are in brokerage accounts with our affiliate, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., a FINRA registered broker dealer, will pay 12b-1 fees or other distribution assistance to the broker dealer. Lantern Wealth Advisors and their investment advisor representatives do not receive compensation related to money market fund balances. For additional information see "Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products" in Item 5 and Item 14 "Client Referrals and Other Compensation". Additional Information: Negotiability of Fees and Account Minimums: In certain circumstances, all fees and account minimums may be negotiable. In addition, certain family members and personal acquaintances of Lantern Wealth Advisors' affiliated persons may receive advisory services at a discounted rate which is not available to advisory clients generally. Fee Calculation: The fee charged is calculated as described above and is not charged on the basis of a share of capital gains upon, or capital appreciation of, the funds or any portion of the funds of an advisory client. Termination: A client agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of 30 days written notice. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. The client has the right to terminate an agreement without penalty within five business days after entering into the agreement. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. 9 Refer to Item 12 for a description of the factors that Lantern Wealth Advisors considers in selecting or recommending broker-dealers for client transactions. Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products: Lantern Wealth Advisors has an affiliation with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. receives compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges, service fees or 12b-1 fees, for the sale or holding, of mutual funds. Compensation earned by Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. is separate and in addition to Lantern Wealth Advisors advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice to advisory clients on behalf of our firm who will have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than solely based on your needs. Additionally, use of 12b-1 paying share classes versus non 12b-1 paying share classes may have a negative impact on share performance and return. Please refer to Item 12 Brokerage Practices for more information regarding execution of Client transactions and Lantern Wealth Advisors fiduciary duty to seek the best execution pricing available for Client transactions. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. may also be compensated in the form of distribution assistance or service fee revenue from mutual funds or exchange traded funds that are available on a "no transaction fee" program. Investments in certain "no transaction fee" exchange traded funds or mutual funds will not be subject to a commission. For additional information see "Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses" in Item 5 and Item 14 "Client Referrals and Other Compensation". Most persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. In their capacity as registered representatives, these persons receive compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges, service fees or 12b-1 fees, for the sale or holding, of mutual funds. Compensation earned by these persons in their capacities as registered representatives is separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice to advisory clients on behalf of our firm who are registered representatives have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than solely based on your needs. Persons providing investment advice to advisory clients on behalf of our firm can select or recommend, and in many instances will select or recommend, mutual fund investments in share classes that pay 12b-1 fees when clients are eligible to purchase share classes of the same funds that do not pay such fees and are less expensive. This presents a conflict of interest. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase securities products through any person affiliated with our firm who receives compensation described above. Most Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed as independent insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with our firm. Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Lantern Wealth Advisors does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). 10 Item 7 Types of Clients Lantern Wealth Advisors currently provides services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, pension plans, and corporations and other business entities. A minimum of $25,000 of assets under management is required for the Lighthouse Plan. The minimum account size for participation in the Lantern Select Plan is based upon each independent adviser's minimum account size, if any. The minimum account size for participation in Lantern Advisor Select wrap fee program varies based upon the program selected, and ranges from $50,000 to $100,000. Minimum account sizes are negotiable at the discretion of Lantern Wealth Advisors. Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Method of Analysis - The security analysis method utilized by Lantern Wealth Advisors may include any or all of the following: charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis. The risks associated with these methods of analysis are described below. Those clients investing in the Lantern Select Plan should refer to the third-party independent registered investment adviser's disclosure document for information regarding the methods of analysis, sources of information, and investment strategies used by that independent registered investment adviser in servicing client accounts. • Fundamental: Fundamental analysis is a general assessment based upon various factors including sale price, asset value, market structure, and history. Lantern Wealth Advisors will analyze the financial condition, capabilities of management, earnings, new products and services, as well as the company's markets and position amongst its competitors in order to determine the recommendations made to clients. The primary risk in using fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good, market conditions may negatively impact the security. • Cyclical: Cyclical analysis is a time based assessment which incorporates past and present performance to determine future value. The primary risk of using cyclical analysis is that past performance cannot guarantee to future results. • Charting and Technical: Charting consists of preparing a technical analysis using diagrams to illustrate various patterns or progressions in market or account movement. Similar to charting, technical analysis employs the use of statistical models and quantitative methodologies to evaluate performance and value over a specified period of time. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the recommendations made to clients, and may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Lantern Wealth Advisors will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. Investment Strategies - The investment strategies used to implement investment advice include: long term purchases, short term purchases, trading, short sales, margin transactions, option writing (including covered options, uncovered options, or spreading strategies). Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The use of derivatives, including options, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Prices of derivatives can be volatile and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the derivatives contract and the 11 price of the underlying securities. Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions. Further, derivatives could result in loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as promised. Risk of Loss Market Risks Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal, and all investors should be guided accordingly. The profitability of a significant portion of our recommendations and/or investment decisions may depend to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price movements of stocks, bonds and other asset classes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to predict those price movements accurately or capitalize on any such assumptions. Volatility Risks The prices and values of investments can be highly volatile, and are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of the financial markets, the financial condition of the issuers of such assets, changing supply and demand relationships, and programs and policies of governments. Cash Management Risks We may invest some of a client's assets temporarily in money market funds or other similar types of investments, during which time an advisory account may be prevented from achieving its investment objective. Equity-Related Securities and Instruments We may take positions in common stocks of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers traded on national securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. The value of equity securities varies in response to many factors. These factors include, without limitation, factors specific to an issuer and factors specific to the industry in which the issuer participates. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments, and the stock prices of such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, equity securities are subject to stock risk, which is the risk that stock prices historically rise and fall in periodic cycles. U.S. and foreign stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. In addition, investments in small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and financially distressed companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face greater business risks. Fixed Income Securities Fixed income securities are subject to the risk of the issuer's or a guarantor's inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations and to price volatility. Mutual Funds and ETFs An investment in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Mutual fund and ETF shareholders are necessarily subject to the risks stemming from the individual issuers of the fund's underlying portfolio securities. Such shareholders are also liable for taxes on any fund-level capital gains, as mutual funds and ETFs are required by law to distribute capital gains in the event they sell securities for a profit that cannot be offset by a corresponding loss. Shares of mutual funds are generally distributed and redeemed on an ongoing basis by the fund itself or a broker acting on its behalf. The trading price at which a share is transacted is equal to a fund's stated daily per share net asset value ("NAV"), plus any shareholders fees (e.g., sales loads, purchase fees, redemption fees). The per share NAV of a mutual fund is calculated at the end of each business 12 day, although the actual NAV fluctuates with intraday changes to the market value of the fund's holdings. The trading prices of a mutual fund's shares may differ significantly from the NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the mutual fund's shares trading at a premium or discount to actual NAV. Shares of ETFs are listed on securities exchanges and transacted at negotiated prices in the secondary market. Generally, ETF shares trade at or near their most recent NAV, which is generally calculated at least once daily for indexed based ETFs and potentially more frequently for actively managed ETFs. However, certain inefficiencies may cause the shares to trade at a premium or discount to their pro rata NAV. There is also no guarantee that an active secondary market for such shares will develop or continue to exist. Generally, an ETF only redeems shares when aggregated as creation units (usually 20,000 shares or more). Therefore, if a liquid secondary market ceases to exist for shares of a particular ETF, a shareholder may have no way to dispose of such shares. Direct Indexing Direct indexing strategies carry unique risks compared to traditional exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds. Because portfolios hold individual securities rather than a pooled vehicle, they may exhibit higher tracking error relative to the target benchmark. Additionally, individual stock ownership involves higher transaction turnover, potential capital gains realizations if tax management is constrained, and specific company-level operational and market risks. Tax-loss harvesting results depend entirely on individual market conditions and a client's specific tax bracket. Alternative Investments: We may recommend alternative investments, which are speculative and involve a high degree of risk, including the risk of losing the entire investment. These investments are generally illiquid, meaning you may not be able to sell them on short notice. There is no active secondary market for many of these products, and valuation may be difficult or infrequent. PIPEs (Private Investments in Public Equity): Investments in PIPEs involve purchasing restricted securities, which cannot be sold freely in the public market until a registration statement is effective or an exemption applies. Clients may face significant delays in liquidating these positions. Furthermore, PIPE investments are highly volatile and may be subject to substantial dilution if the issuer issues more shares. Interval Funds: Interval funds are illiquid investments. Unlike mutual funds, you cannot redeem your shares daily. You may only sell shares back to the fund during scheduled, limited tender offer windows. If there are excessive redemption requests, the fund may pro-rate the amount you can redeem, resulting in only a portion of your investment being returned. These funds are designed for long-term holding. Cybersecurity Risk The information technology systems and networks that the Firm and its third-party service providers use to provide services to the Firm's clients employ various controls, which are designed to prevent cybersecurity incidents stemming from intentional or unintentional actions that could cause significant interruptions in the Firm's operations and result in the unauthorized acquisition or use of clients' confidential or non-public personal information. Clients and the Firm are nonetheless subject to the risk of cybersecurity incidents that could ultimately cause them to incur losses, including for example: financial losses, cost, and reputational damage to respond to regulatory obligations, other costs associated with corrective measures, and loss from damage or interruption to systems. Although the Firm has established systems to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents from coming to fruition, there is no guarantee that these efforts will always be successful, especially considering that the Firm does not directly control the cybersecurity measures and policies employed by third-party service 13 providers. Clients could incur similar adverse consequences resulting from cybersecurity incidents that more directly affect issuers of securities in which those clients invest, broker-dealers, qualified custodians, governmental and other regulatory authorities, exchange and other financial market operators, or other financial institutions. Account Aggregation Platforms The Firm may provide its clients with access to one or more online account aggregation platforms (the "Platforms"). The platforms allow a client to view their complete asset allocation, including those assets that the Firm does not manage (the "Excluded Assets"). The Firm does not provide investment management, monitoring, or implementation services for these excluded assets. Unless otherwise specifically agreed to, in writing, the Firm's services relative to the excluded assets is limited to reporting only. Therefore, the Firm shall not be responsible for the investment performance of the excluded assets. Rather, the client and/or their adviser(s) that maintain management authority for the excluded assets, and not the Firm, shall be exclusively responsible for such investment performance. Without limiting the above, the Firm shall not be responsible for any implementation errors (timing, trading, etc.) relative to the excluded assets. The client may choose to engage the Firm to manage some or all of the excluded assets pursuant to the terms and conditions of an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Firm and the client. Certain of these platforms also provide access to other types of information and applications, including financial planning concepts and functionality, which should not, in any manner whatsoever, be construed as services, advice, or recommendations provided by the Firm. Finally, the Firm shall not be held responsible for any adverse results a client may experience if the client engages in financial planning or other functions available on the platforms without the Firm's assistance or oversight. Cash Positions The Firm continues to treat cash as an asset class. As such, unless determined to the contrary by the Firm, all cash positions (including money market funds) shall continue to be included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating the Firm's advisory fee. At any specific point in time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the Firm may maintain cash positions for defensive purposes. In addition, while assets are maintained in cash, such amounts could miss market advances. Depending on current yields, at any point in time, the Firm's advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client's money market fund. Client Obligations In performing its services, the Firm shall not be required to verify any information received from the client or from the client's other professionals and is expressly authorized to rely thereon. Moreover, it remains each client's responsibility to promptly notify the Firm if there is ever any change in their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing/evaluating/revising our previous recommendations and/or services. Item 9 Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Lantern Wealth Advisors LLC or the integrity of Lantern Wealth Advisors LLC management. There are no required disclosures of legal or disciplinary events involving Lantern Wealth Advisors or any of its representatives. 14 Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Certain of Lantern Wealth Advisors' management persons are separately licensed as registered representatives of Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. In addition, certain of Lantern Wealth Advisors' management persons are also insurance agents or brokers with one or more insurance agencies including Lantern Wealth Advisors' affiliated insurance agency, Lantern Insurance. This creates a conflict of interest as these individuals may, have incentives to recommend the services of the affiliated broker-dealer and insurance agency over the services of nonaffiliated companies. Clients are under no obligation to place transactions through, or to purchase products from, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., Lantern Insurance, or any of their associated persons. In their separate capacities as registered representatives and/or insurance agents, the individuals may effect securities transactions and/or purchase insurance and insurance-related investment products for advisory clients, for which they will receive separate and customary compensation. In addition, certain of these individuals may, from time to time, receive incentive awards for the recommendation/introduction of insurance products. While these individuals endeavor at all times to put the interest of the clients first as part of Lantern Wealth Advisors fiduciary duty, clients should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation creates a conflict of interest, as the firm's representatives have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than on the client's needs. All investment advisory representatives of the Firm base their recommendations on the specific needs of the individual client, including the client's stated investment objective, risk tolerance, and investment history, as well as any restrictions on investing imposed by the client, without regard to expected compensation. Arrangements with Affiliated Entities Broker Dealers We are affiliated with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. This affiliate is a securities broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are also registered representatives with our affiliate broker dealer. In their capacity as registered representatives, these persons will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by these persons in their capacities as registered representatives is separate from our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are registered representatives have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. Registered Investment Adviser We are affiliated with Herold Advisors, Inc., a Registered Investment Adviser, through common control and ownership. Our advisory services are separate and distinct from the affiliate and their services. Insurance Company We are affiliated with Lantern Insurance Brokerage, Inc. and Herold Insurance Agency, Inc. through common control and ownership. Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm may be licensed as insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate from our advisory fees. See the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure for more information on the compensation received by insurance agents who are affiliated 15 with our firm. This affiliated firm is otherwise regulated by the professional organizations to which it belongs and must comply with the rules of those organizations. These rules may prohibit paying or receiving referral fees to or from investment advisers that are not members of the same organization. Referral arrangements with an affiliated entity present a conflict of interest for us because we may have a direct or indirect financial incentive to recommend an affiliated firm's services. While we believe that compensation charged by an affiliated firm is competitive, such compensation may be higher than fees charged by other firms providing the same or similar services. You are under no obligation to use the services of any firm we recommend, whether affiliated or otherwise, and may obtain comparable services and/or lower fees through other firms. Item 11 Code of Ethics Lantern Wealth Advisors, LLC has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at Lantern Wealth Advisors must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended. Lantern Wealth Advisors anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients' investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which Lantern Wealth Advisors has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which Lantern Wealth Advisors and/or, its associated persons may have a position of interest. Lantern Wealth Advisors' employees and persons associated with Lantern Wealth Advisors are required to follow Lantern Wealth Advisors' Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Lantern Wealth Advisors and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Lantern Wealth Advisors' clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of Lantern Wealth Advisors will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code certain classes of securities, such as mutual funds, have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that these would not materially interfere with the best interest of Lantern Wealth Advisors' clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of transactions in IPOs and private placements. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity in a security held by a client. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between Lantern Wealth Advisors and its clients. Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated basis when consistent with Lantern Wealth Advisors' obligation of best execution. In such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share commission costs equally and receive securities at a total average price. Lantern Wealth Advisors will retain records of the trade order (specifying each participating account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to the entry of the aggregated order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained on the Order. Lantern Wealth Advisors clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting Wendy Lanton Sheftel, Associate Compliance Officer. 16 Item 12 Brokerage Practices Lantern Wealth Advisors recommends accounts be held with either Pershing, Schwab or Interactive Brokers, and as discussed below, will recommend the execution services of Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. (clearing through Pershing), Schwab, or Interactive Brokers. Lantern Wealth Advisors may receive benefits in the form of research or other products and services from either Interactive Brokers, Schwab or Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., its broker-dealer affiliate. These benefits are available to Lantern Wealth Advisors for all of its client accounts, regardless of where client transactions are placed. Lantern Wealth Advisors does not use client brokerage commissions to obtain these benefits, as they may be made available to the investment adviser representatives in their capacity as registered representatives of the broker-dealer. Lantern Wealth Advisors does not have any arrangements through which it receives client referrals in exchange for directing client transactions to a particular broker-dealer. Execution of Client Transactions Lighthouse Plan: When using the Lighthouse Plan, Lantern Wealth Advisors does not have the discretionary authority to determine the broker/dealer to be used or the commission rates to be paid. Clients must direct Lantern Wealth Advisors as to the broker dealer to be used. Lantern Wealth Advisors will either recommend the brokerage services of its affiliated broker-dealer, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. which are cleared with Pershing, or recommend Schwab or Interactive Brokers. Transactions placed through Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. are cleared through Pershing, LLC ("Pershing"), who also serves as custodian. A conflict of interest exists when the adviser recommends that transactions be directed to its affiliated broker-dealer, as the affiliate will benefit from the business directed to it. Lantern Wealth Advisors has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the firm's clients. As further discussed below, Lantern Wealth Advisors periodically evaluates the execution received from broker-dealers to ensure clients receive best execution. Lantern Select Plan: Customers using the Lantern Select Plan should note that Lantern Wealth Advisors does not recommend broker dealers to Lantern Select Plan clients. Lantern Wealth Advisors recommends the services of other independent advisers, who may recommend or require the use of a particular broker dealer. Since Lantern Wealth Advisors does not directly recommend the services of any particular broker dealer, Lantern Wealth Advisors does not consider any factors, nor does it determine the reasonableness of any brokers' commissions. Clients are encouraged to evaluate the brokerage services of any particular broker recommended or required by an independent adviser. Clients should refer to the disclosure document(s) of independent registered investment adviser(s) for information on the brokerage recommendations, practices, and policies of their respective selected registered investment adviser(s). Lantern Advisor Select Plan: When using the Lantern Advisor Select Plan, Lantern Wealth Advisors will recommend the brokerage services of its affiliated broker-dealer, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. Transactions placed through Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. are cleared through Pershing, LLC ("Pershing"), who also serves as custodian. 17 A conflict of interest exists when the adviser recommends that transactions be directed to its affiliated broker-dealer, as the affiliate will benefit from the business directed to it. Lantern Wealth Advisors has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the firm's clients. As further discussed below, Lantern Wealth Advisors periodically evaluates the execution received from broker-dealers to ensure clients receive best execution. Principal Transactions Further, certain orders placed for clients may be executed as riskless principal transactions with the affiliated broker-dealer. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., after having received an order from Lantern Wealth Advisors to buy (sell) a security, buys (sells) such security in the market at the same price. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. does not charge a markup/markdown, commissions, or other fees when executing these transactions. Best Execution The firm also maintains a fiduciary duty to seek the best execution pricing available for client transactions. While best execution is difficult to define and challenging to measure, there is some consensus that it does not solely mean the achievement of the best price on a given transaction. Rather, it appears to be a collective consideration of factors concerning the trade in question. Such factors include the security being traded, the price of the trade, the speed of the execution, apparent conditions in the market, and the specific needs of the client. Lantern Wealth Advisors' primary objective when 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 price, size of order, difficulty of execution, and broker skill. Based on these criteria, the firm may not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission equivalent, as specific transactions can involve specialized services on the part of the broker. Lantern Wealth Advisors evaluates no less than annually whether clients are receiving best execution to ensure the execution services provided by Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., Interactive Brokers and Schwab remain competitive and are in the best interest of the firm's clients. By directing transactions to a particular broker-dealer, Lantern Wealth Advisors may be unable to achieve favorable execution of client transactions, and this may cost clients more money. Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits: Lantern Wealth Advisors does not have any soft dollar arrangements. Economic Benefits: As a registered investment adviser, Lantern Wealth Advisors has access to the institutional platform of its clients' custodian. As such, Lantern Wealth Advisors will also have access to research products and services from the account custodian and/or other brokerage firm. These products may include financial publications, information about particular companies and industries, research software, and other products or services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance to Lantern Wealth Advisors in the performance of its investment decision-making responsibilities. Such research products and services are provided to all investment advisers that utilize the institutional services platforms of these firms, and are not considered to be paid for with soft dollars. However, clients should be aware that the commissions charged by a particular broker for a particular transaction or set of transactions may be greater than the amounts another broker who did not provide research services or products might charge. Financial Planning and Consultation: As associated persons of Lantern Wealth Advisors are also separately registered as representatives of Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., they will generally recommend the use of Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. and themselves as a registered 18 representative to clients for the implementation of financial planning recommendations, provided that this recommendation is consistent with Lantern Wealth Advisors' fiduciary duty to the client. Any commissions or other compensation received from the implementation of financial planning recommendations is separate and distinct from Lantern Wealth Advisors' advisory fee. No financial planning or consulting client is obligated to use Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. to implement any recommended transactions. From time to time and if market conditions warrant, Lantern Wealth Advisors may recommend aggregating customer orders for purchases or sales of securities for various client accounts when acting on a discretionary basis. This practice would be based upon market conditions and the ability to receive best execution and would be implemented in compliance with the firm's written allocation policy. Item 13 Review of Accounts Lighthouse Plan Reviews: While the underlying securities within the Lighthouse Plan accounts are continuously monitored, these accounts are reviewed periodically, and not less than annually, by Keith Lanton, President of Lantern Wealth Advisors, or another designated manager. Accounts are reviewed in the context of each client's stated investment objectives and guidelines. More frequent reviews may be triggered by material changes in variables such as the client's individual circumstances, or the market, political or economic environment. Lighthouse Plan Reports: Clients receive reports no less than quarterly from the account custodian. Lantern Select Plan Reviews: Clients should refer to the independent adviser's disclosure document for information regarding the nature and frequency of reviews provided by that independent adviser. Lantern Wealth Advisors may provide reviews as requested by the client. Lantern Select Plan Reports: Clients should refer to the independent adviser's disclosure document for information regarding the nature and frequency of reports provided by that independent adviser. Lantern Wealth Advisors may provide these client accounts with reports as requested by the client. Clients receive reports no less than quarterly from the account custodian. Lantern Advisor Select Plan Reviews & Reports: See Form ADV Part 2A - Appendix 1 for a description of the account review process and available reports. Clients receive reports no less than quarterly from the account custodian. Financial Planning and Consultation Reviews: Client reports and services delivered are reviewed as contracted for at the inception of the advisory relationship. Financial Planning and Consultation Reports: Financial Planning clients will receive a completed financial plan. Additional reports will not typically be provided unless otherwise contracted for. Consulting Services clients will not typically receive reports due to the nature of the service. Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation As disclosed under the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure, persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed insurance agents, and are registered representatives with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. For information on the conflicts of interest this presents, and how we address these conflicts, refer to the Fees and Compensation section. 19 Lantern Wealth Advisors and/or its investment adviser representatives may be entitled to receive incentive awards for the sale of insurance products and/or distribution fees for the placement of client funds into investment company products. Costs incurred by the clients in the purchase of such insurance or investment company products are not increased as a result of these incentive awards or additional compensation; however, receipt of this additional compensation may create a conflict of interest, as the investment adviser representative may be incented to recommend products based on the compensation received rather than on the needs of the client. All investment adviser representatives of the firm have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the firm's clients based on the client's specific needs and objectives. Lantern Wealth Advisors may engage solicitors to whom it pays cash, or a portion of the advisory fees paid by clients referred to it by those solicitors. In such cases, this practice is disclosed in writing to the client and Lantern Wealth Advisors complies with the other requirements of Rule 206(4)-1 (The "Marketing Rule") under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, to the extent required by applicable law. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., an affiliated broker-dealer receives marketing assistance payments from most of the market sweep program offerings made available on our brokerage and advisory platform. The amount of payment is dependent upon the amount of aggregate dollars invested in a money market over a given month and can range from zero to 0.00043 of the monthly balance. Money market sweep programs that do not pay marketing assistance are also available to Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. and Lantern Wealth Advisors brokerage and advisory platforms (respectively). Use of sweep offerings that pay marketing assistance can have a negative impact on the performance results of the money market fund. Amounts received from these marketing assistance programs are used to contain costs across Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc.'s product offerings, which Lantern Wealth Advisors may utilize. These arrangements present a conflict of interest when it comes to selecting or recommending a money market sweep option. For additional information see "Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses" and "Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products" in Item 5. Item 15 Custody As paying agent for our firm, your independent custodian will directly debit your account(s) for the payment of our advisory fees. This ability to deduct our advisory fees from your accounts causes our firm to exercise limited custody over your funds or securities. We do not have physical custody of any of your funds and/or securities. Your funds and securities will be held with a bank, broker-dealer, or other qualified custodian. You will receive account statements from the qualified custodian(s) holding your funds and securities at least quarterly. The account statements from your custodian(s) will indicate the amount of our advisory fees deducted from your account(s) each billing period. You should carefully review account statements for accuracy. Other than these client-authorized fee deductions, the firm does not maintain or accept custody of client funds or securities. Clients are encouraged to compare any reports provided by Lantern Wealth Advisors to those received from the qualified custodian and immediately report any unexplained differences to the firm and/or the qualified custodian, as appropriate. Standing Letters of Authorization With respect to third party standing letters of authorization ("SLOA"), where a client may grant Lantern Wealth Advisors the authority to direct custodians to disburse funds to one or more third party accounts, we are deemed to have limited custody. However, we are not required to comply with the surprise examination requirement of the Custody Rule, if we are otherwise in compliance with the seven representations noted in the no-action letter issued by the SEC on February 21, 2017, (the "SEC 20 no-action letter"). Pursuant to Rule 206(4)-2 (the "Custody Rule"), we have taken steps to have controls and oversight in place to support the SEC no-action letter. Where the Adviser acts pursuant to a SLOA, we believe we are making a good faith effort to comply with the representations noted in the SEC's no-action letter. Additionally, since many of those representations involve the qualified custodian's operations, we will collaborate closely with our custodians to ensure that the representations are being met. Item 16 Investment Discretion Lantern Wealth Advisors, LLC usually receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory relationship to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, however, such discretion is exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client account. When selecting securities and determining amounts, Lantern Wealth Advisors observes the investment policies, limitations and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. For registered investment companies, Lantern Wealth Advisors' authority to trade securities may also be limited by certain federal securities and tax laws that require diversification of investments and favor the holding of investments once made. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to Lantern Wealth Advisors in writing. When providing services through the Lantern Advisor Select program, Lantern Wealth Advisors is also granted the discretion to determine the broker or dealer to be used to execute client securities transactions. Death or Disability of a Client: If Client is a natural person, the death, disability or incompetency of Client will not terminate or change the terms of this Agreement. The Account Custodian may restrict fund movements or transactions until they receive the appropriate legal documentation. However, Client's executor, guardian, attorney-in-fact, trusted contact or other authorized representative may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Adviser. Item 17 Voting Client Securities Lantern Wealth Advisors does not vote proxies for advisory clients. Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities beneficially owned by the client shall be voted, and (2) making all elections relative to any mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings, or other type events pertaining to the client's investment assets. Clients are responsible for instructing each custodian of the assets to forward to the client copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the client's investment assets. Lantern Wealth Advisors may provide clients with consulting assistance regarding proxy issues upon request Item 18 Financial Information Lantern Wealth Advisors does not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six months or more in advance of providing services to clients. Further, Lantern Wealth Advisors has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 21

Accounts in the Lantern Advisor Select Plan are managed exclusively by investment adviser representatives of LWA. The Lantern Advisor Select Plan Programs are: • Private Portfolio • Mutual Funds, Closed End Funds and ETFs Lantern Select Plan - LWA also acts as sponsor to a wrap fee program offered through third-party program providers ("program provider"), through which accounts are managed by unaffiliated third- party investment advisers. We offer Direct Indexing (DI) strategies to certain clients through an agreement with third-party advisers, who acts as a sub-adviser or platform provider to facilitate the trading, management, and recordkeeping of individual equity portfolios.Direct indexing involves investing in a customized basket of individual stocks designed to track a specific benchmark index. Clients participating in this service may establish custom restrictions, such as excluding specific companies or sectors based on personal preferences or values. The primary objective of our direct indexing offering is enhanced tax-loss harvesting and portfolio customization. Unless otherwise specified, all wrap fee programs are referenced herein as "the Plan". Lantern Advisor Select Plan - Private Portfolio The Private Portfolio Program is an advisory program where portfolio management services are provided to the client on a discretionary basis for a wrap fee based on the market value of all of the securities in the account. As a discretionary account, the investment adviser representative is not required to contact the client prior to each transaction. The investment adviser representative and the client will work together to develop an investment strategy. The investment adviser representative will monitor the account to ensure it remains consistent with the investment strategy and the strategy remains appropriate. From conservative to speculative, portfolios are developed uniquely with each client's goals and risk tolerance in mind. The fee schedule is as follows: $0-$99,999 2.75% $100,000-$499,999 2.50% $500,000-$999,999 2.25% $1,000,000+ 2.00% Up to 65% of the total fee is paid to the portfolio manager(s). Lantern Advisor Select Plan - Mutual Funds, Closed End Funds, & ETFs The mutual funds and ETF's portfolio program is a discretionary, mutual fund and ETF only advisory program where portfolio management services are provided to the client on a discretionary basis for a wrap fee based on the market value of all of the securities in the account. As a discretionary account, the investment adviser representative is not required to contact the client prior to each transaction. The investment adviser representative and the client will work together to develop an investment strategy. The investment adviser representative will monitor the account to ensure it remains consistent with the investment strategy and the strategy remains appropriate. From conservative to aggressive, portfolios are developed uniquely with each client's goals and risk tolerance in mind. 4 The fee schedule is as follows: $0-$99,999 2.75% $100,000-$499,999 2.50% $500,000-$999,999 2.25% $1,000,000+ 2.00% Up to 65% of the total fee is paid to the portfolio manager(s). The Lantern Select Plan Under this plan, LWA will perform management searches of various unaffiliated, independent registered investment advisers. Based on a client's individual circumstances and needs, LWA will determine which independent adviser's portfolio management is appropriate for that client. This determination may be made on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis. Factors considered in making this determination include account size, risk tolerance, the opinion of each client and the investment philosophy of the independent adviser. Certain independent advisers made available through this program may require the client to enter into a separate discretionary agreement between the adviser and the client. The independent advisers may engage the client directly, or they may be made available through the program provider with which LWA has entered into an agreement in order to access independent advisers made available on the program provider's platform. Whether or not clients are permitted to impose restrictions on investing will depend upon the determination of each independent adviser. Fees are based on the third-party program used and the independent advisers selected. The total wrap fee charged to the client includes the program provider's fee, independent advisers' fees, and LWA's advisory fee. This fee may also include other fees imposed by third parties who provide services to the program, such as custodial fees. Clients utilizing the Direct Indexing service may incur additional fees separate from our standard advisory fee. Services and Fees The Plan offers investors the opportunity to obtain professional investment services and brokerage services for one all-inclusive fee based on assets under management. Clients pay a quarterly fee at the beginning of each quarter for services to be provided in that quarter. The fees will be paid in 4 quarterly payments, with the first payment due upon execution of the Plan contract and will be assessed pro rata in the event that the contract is executed at any time other than the first business day of a calendar quarter. Thereafter, for each succeeding calendar quarter, the fee shall be payable in advance on the first business day of the quarter and shall be based on the account asset value as of the last business day of the previous calendar quarter. The client will authorize the custodian to deduct the fee from the client's account and pay the fee directly to LWA. LWA is responsible for verifying the calculation of the fee. While LWA makes every attempt to ensure billing accuracy, the client is encouraged to review all fee calculations for accuracy and should contact LWA regarding any discrepancies. Although LWA has an established fee schedule set forth in this brochure, the asset- based fees are negotiable and are at the discretion of LWA. Clients may terminate participation in the Plan by providing LWA with written notice. Any client may request a termination from the plan within 5 business days of the opening of the account and receive a full refund of the Fee. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. 5 LWA provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to clients that choose one or more of the programs described above. The wrap fee is an asset-based fee which includes the management fee paid to LWA for its services as portfolio manager, as well as broker-dealer, custodial and clearing expenses. The client's financial advisor may have a financial incentive to recommend a fee-based advisory program, or to recommend a particular account program over another. Investment adviser representatives of LWA will receive a percentage of the wrap fees paid by advisory clients to compensate them for solicitation, shareholder support, advice, order placement and execution and other services. This compensation may be more than the financial advisor would receive under an alternative Program or if the client paid for advisory, brokerage, and other services separately. If a client were to purchase services similar to those offered in the Plan separately, he or she would be required to pay brokerage commissions, custodial fees (if any), and investment advisory fees. Therefore, the plan may cost more or less than purchasing these services independently. The factors that should be considered when determining whether to participate in the Plan include the expected level of trading activity in the account, the corresponding brokerage commissions and transaction- related expenses that would be charged for the execution of trades, and the fees charged for the investment advisory services offered within the Plan. The Plan fee includes not only the fee of LWA, but also all custody and brokerage commissions for transactions executed in the client's account. In making the determination of whether the aforementioned wrap fee programs are appropriate for their needs, clients should bear in mind that wrap fee arrangements, when compared with the option of paying transaction charges separately, generally result in lower costs during periods when trading activity is heavier, such as the year an account is established. During periods when trading activity is lower, such arrangements may result in a higher annual cost for transactions. Thus, the overall cost of the Plan will vary significantly, depending on the account size, amount of turnover, type of securities purchased or sold, quantities of securities purchased or sold, commission rates negotiated with the broker/dealer, and the client's tax situation. When making cost comparisons, clients should be aware that the combination of investment advisory, custodial and brokerage services available through these programs may not be available separately or may require multiple accounts, documentation and fees. Other Expenses and Fees The advisory fees discussed above do not include certain indirect costs that may be associated with securities purchased or held in an account. Examples of indirect costs include expenses associated with investments in ETFs, mutual funds (as described below), or other pooled investments. Clients should understand that the annual advisory fees charged in the wrap program are in addition to the management fees and operating expenses charged by open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds. Certain open-end mutual funds may also assess a distribution fee or an administrative or service fee ("trail"). Such fees are included in the calculation of operating expenses of a mutual fund and are disclosed in the fund prospectus. To the extent that a client intends to hold fund shares for an extended period of time, it may be more economical for the client to purchase fund shares outside of these programs. Clients may be able to purchase mutual funds directly from their respective fund families without incurring LWA's advisory fee. When purchasing directly from fund families, clients may incur a front- or back-end sales charge, or "load". Client should note that only no-load or load-waived funds may be purchased in the Lantern Advisor Select Plan. 6 Clients should also understand that the shares of certain mutual funds offered in these programs may impose short-term trading charges (typically 1%-2% of the amount originally invested) for redemptions generally made within short periods of time. These short-term charges are imposed by the funds (and not by LWA) to deter "market timers" who trade actively in fund shares. Clients should consider these short-term trading charges when selecting the program and/or mutual funds in which they invest. These market timing charges are available in each fund's prospectus. The wrap fee charged for participation in the Plan also does not include, and the account will be charged separately for, fees and ancillary services such as returned checks, safekeeping of physical certificates, paper statement and confirmation fees, service charges, and asset or wire transfers. The current ancillary fee schedule applicable to the Plan is outlined below (the highest possible fee is shown, some custodians may charge lower fees for similar services). These fees are subject to change without notice; an updated schedule will be provided upon request and will also be available on our public website www.lanternwa.com Check Processing Requests: $20 to place a stop on a check $30 for a returned check $12.50 for check reorder of Corestone accounts Wire Transfers: $30 for a wire transfer Security Transfers: $100 per security for physical transfer of securities $115 per account for transfers to other firms $25 per security for Direct Registration transfers Paper Statements and Confirmations: $1.25 per statement or confirmation Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses All fees paid to Lantern Wealth Advisors for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of Lantern Wealth Advisors. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by Lantern Wealth Advisors which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and the fees charged by Lantern Wealth Advisors to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. Where acting as an investment adviser representative and the Advisory Client is investing in mutual funds, ETFs and/or money market funds through Lantern Wealth Advisors affiliate Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. a service-level fee will be received by the affiliate company commensurate with the fees as disclosed in the prospectus or as explained herein. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. will receive compensation; however the Investment Advisor Representative does not share in any amounts paid to Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. 7 Various share classes are offered by mutual funds and are available to Lantern Wealth Advisory clients. Lantern Wealth Advisors will evaluate the share classes, and will attempt to select the lowest cost share class for each investor. At times, the lowest cost share class may not be the most cost effective due to brokerage platform fees. If this is the case, Lantern Wealth Advisors will purchase the fund that is most cost effective. While Lantern Wealth Advisors seeks to avoid using share classes that charge 12b-1 fees, if such share class is the only means by which to satisfy the investment need, this share class may be purchased. Lantern Wealth Advisors and its investment advisory representatives are not directly compensated by these 12b-1 fees. However, if the mutual fund is purchased on the platform of our affiliate, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., the 12b-1 fee will be earned by the broker-dealer. The use of 12b-1 paying share classes versus non 12b-1 paying share classes may have a negative impact on performance and return. Money market fund balances that are in brokerage accounts with our affiliate, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., a FINRA registered broker dealer, will pay 12b-1 fees or other distribution assistance to the broker dealer. Lantern Wealth Advisors and their investment advisor representatives do not receive compensation related to money market fund balances. Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products Lantern Wealth Advisors has an affiliation with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., a securities broker- dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. receives compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges, service fees or 12b-1 fees, for the sale or holding, of mutual funds. Compensation earned by Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., is separate and in addition to Lantern Wealth Advisors advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice to advisory clients on behalf of our firm who are have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than solely based on your needs. Additionally, use of 12b- 1 paying share classes versus non 12b-1 paying share classes may have a negative impact on share performance and return. Please refer to Item 12 Brokerage Practices for more information regarding execution of Client transactions and Lantern Wealth Advisors fiduciary duty to seek the best execution pricing available for Client transactions. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. may also be compensated in the form of distribution assistance or service fee revenue from mutual funds or exchange traded funds that are available on a "no transaction fee" program. Investments in certain "no transaction fee" exchange traded funds or mutual funds will not be subject to a commission. For additional information see "Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses" in Item 5 and Item 14 "Client Referrals and Other Compensation". Most persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are registered representatives with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. In their capacity as registered representatives, these persons receive compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges, service fees or 12b-1 fees, for the sale or holding, of mutual funds. Compensation earned by these persons in their capacities as registered representatives is separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice to advisory clients on behalf of our firm who are registered representatives have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than solely based on your needs. Persons providing investment advice to advisory clients on behalf of our firm can select or recommend, and in many instances will select or recommend, mutual fund investments in share classes that pay 12b-1 fees when clients are eligible to purchase share classes of the same funds that do not pay such fees and are less expensive. This presents a conflict of interest. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase securities products through any person affiliated with our firm who receives compensation described above. 8 Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed as independent insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. You are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with our firm. Item 5 Account Requirements and Types of Clients Account Requirements Lantern Wealth Advisors currently provides services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, pension plans, and corporations and other business entities. The minimum account size for each wrap fee program is: • Private Portfolio - $50,000 • Mutual Fund and ETF Portfolio -$50,000 Please note with respect to "minimum account size" LWA may under appropriate circumstances, consider permitting accounts having asset values lower than the indicated minimum account size to participate in the programs. Considerations will include, but are not limited to, if the client has related accounts or has an investment objective that requires significant investments in cash, cash equivalents or fixed income securities. Although LWA has an established fee schedule set forth in this brochure, the asset-based fees are negotiable and are at the discretion of LWA. The minimum annual fee per account is $1,375. Types of Wrap Fee Account Clients LWA offers participation in the Plans to the following types of clients: Individuals Investment clubs • • Pension and profit sharing plans • Trusts, estates and charitable organizations • Public entities and other governmental organizations • • Educational Institutions • Corporations (including S Corps and LLCs) • Small Business and others Item 6 Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Keith Lanton oversees and is responsible for the advisory programs offered at LWA. LWA selected Mr. Lanton for this position based upon his educational and work experience within the investment field. Mr. Lanton's bio is detailed below. All assets in the Lantern Advisor Select Plan are managed exclusively by investment adviser representatives of LWA. LWA generally requires that the investment adviser representatives meet the following standards in order to initially participate in these programs: • Series 7 and State-required licenses (unless state exemption is available) 9 • Not more than three sales practice-related complaints in the past 5 years and no forgery, misappropriation, unauthorized trading or similar settled or otherwise finalized actions in the last 10 years. • Work experience of three years (as an investment adviser representative or equivalent experience directly related to management of client assets). LWA may make exceptions to the policy above, or may decide to allow an investment adviser representative to act as portfolio manager if he or she no longer meets the initial eligibility criteria, if the firm believes there are extenuating circumstances or considerations. Once an employee is approved as portfolio manager, LWA will normally allow them to continue operating in that capacity. BIO Keith Lanton, President, Chief Investment Officer EDUCATION: Columbia University, MBA, 1991 Emory University, Bachelors Degree, 1989 RECENT EMPLOYMENT HISTORY: 4/08-Present: President, Lantern Wealth Advisors, LLC 1/93-Present: President, Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. 4/94-Present: Manager, Lantern Insurance Brokerage, Inc. Selection and Review of Portfolio Managers Lantern Advisor Select Plan The Lantern Advisor Select Plan programs are proprietary investment programs. All new participants must enter into an investment advisory agreement with LWA. The benchmarks for account performance are based on each client's responses to the Questionnaire which is completed and updated in consultation with your investment adviser representative. Using these responses the portfolio manager designs an appropriate investment strategy and develops an appropriate portfolio using this strategy. LWA maintains current client profiles and adjusts portfolios accordingly. Portfolio performance is calculated using a time-weighted methodology. Portfolio performance evaluation reports are reviewed for accuracy by an LWA manager prior to delivery to clients. The reports are intended to inform clients about their investment performance over the current period and over the longer term, both on an absolute basis and compared to a benchmark. Lantern Select Plan In selecting independent advisers for management of a client's assets, as well as in determining whether to replace an independent adviser, LWA considers a number of factors including, but not limited to, the adviser's fees, past performance, adherence to style mandate, and tenure of the portfolio manager. In reviewing these factors LWA will generally rely on the due diligence and research provided to the firm by the program provider. This due diligence includes collection and reporting of data on investment style and philosophy, past performance, and personnel of the independent advisers. The 10 program provider may also provide access to other independent advisers with respect to whom it has not performed due diligence. In evaluating these advisers, LWA performs its own due diligence to determine whether to select such advisers for the management of client assets. When selecting independent advisers that are not made available through the third-party program, LWA will independently conduct the due diligence on the independent advisor. This due diligence includes collection and reporting of data on investment style and philosophy, reviewing past performance, and interviewing the key personnel of the independent advisers. The due diligence performed by the program provider and/or LWA is intended to provide LWA with sufficient data and/or reports on each independent adviser to allow LWA to evaluate each adviser's competence and experience in accordance with industry standards; however, LWA is responsible for determining that it has sufficient information about an independent adviser to select such adviser to provide services to LWA and its clients. Types of Advisory Services Offered, Tailoring of Advisory Programs and Reasonable Restrictions LWA provides investment supervisory services and manages investment portfolios tailored to achieve its clients' objective and risk tolerance. As stated above, all assets in the Lantern Advisor Select Plan programs are managed exclusively by investment advisory representatives of LWA. Client assets in the Lantern Select Plan are managed by unaffiliated, independent investment advisers recommended or selected by LWA. The LWA investment advisor representative will assess the client's prior investment experience, financial goals, time horizon, risk tolerance and investment objectives in order to determine the appropriate program for the client. Clients may request that reasonable restrictions be imposed on the management of their wrap account. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss The security analysis method utilized by Lantern Wealth Advisors may include any or all of the following: charting, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis. The risks associated with these methods of analysis are described below. Those clients investing in the Lantern Select Plan should refer to the third-party independent registered investment adviser's disclosure document for information regarding the methods of analysis, sources of information, and investment strategies used by that independent registered investment adviser in servicing client accounts. • Fundamental: Fundamental analysis is a general assessment based upon various factors including sale price, asset value, market structure, and history. Lantern Wealth Advisors will analyze the financial condition, capabilities of management, earnings, new products and services, as well as the company's markets and position amongst its competitors in order to determine the recommendations made to clients. The primary risk in using fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good, market conditions may negatively impact the security. • Cyclical: Cyclical analysis is a time based assessment which incorporates past and present performance to determine future value. The primary risk of using cyclical analysis is that past performance cannot guarantee to future results. • Charting and Technical: Charting consists of preparing a technical analysis using diagrams to illustrate various patterns or progressions in market or account movement. Similar to charting, technical analysis employs the use of statistical models and quantitative methodologies to 11 evaluate performance and value over a specified period of time. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the recommendations made to clients, and may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that Lantern Wealth Advisors will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. Investment Strategies - The investment strategies used to implement investment advice include: long term purchases, short term purchases, trading, short sales, margin transactions, option writing (including covered options, uncovered options, or spreading strategies). Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. The use of derivatives, including options, involves risks different from, or possibly greater than the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Prices of derivatives can be volatile and may move in unexpected ways, especially in unusual market conditions. Some derivatives are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates. In addition, there may be imperfect or even negative correlation between the price of the derivatives contract and the price of the underlying securities. Other risks arise from the potential inability to terminate or sell derivative positions. Further, derivatives could result in loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as promised. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management LWA does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). Voting Client Securities Lantern Wealth Advisors does not vote proxies for advisory clients. Clients maintain exclusive responsibility for: (1) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities beneficially owned by the client shall be voted, and (2) making all elections relative to any mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings, or other type events pertaining to the client's investment assets. Clients are responsible for instructing each custodian of the assets to forward to the client copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to the client's investment assets. Lantern Wealth Advisors may provide clients with consulting assistance regarding proxy issues upon request Item 7 Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers LWA employees who serve as portfolio managers have access to all client information, and updates to such information, obtained by LWA with respect to the particular client accounts they manage. LWA provides the unaffiliated, independent investment advisers in the Plan with information about the client which is required to enable the portfolio managers to provide services to the clients' accounts. Such information generally includes name, address, age, social security number, phone numbers, occupation and employer. Item 8 Client Contact with Portfolio Managers The primary point of contact for clients is the client's investment adviser representative. There are no restrictions on a client's access to his or her investment adviser representative when participating in the Lantern Advisor Select Plan. There may be restrictions on a client's access to the unaffiliated, independent investment advisers used in the Lantern Select Plan. 12 Item 9 Additional Information Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Lantern Wealth Advisors LLC or the integrity of Lantern Wealth Advisors LLC management. There are no required disclosures of legal or disciplinary events involving Lantern Wealth Advisors or any of its representatives. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker Dealers We are affiliated with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. This affiliate is a securities broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are also registered representatives with our affiliate broker dealer. In their capacity as registered representatives, these persons will receive commission-based compensation in connection with the purchase and sale of securities, including 12b-1 fees for the sale of investment company products. Compensation earned by these persons in their capacities as registered representatives is separate from our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are registered representatives have an incentive to effect securities transactions for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. Registered Investment Adviser We are affiliated with Herold Advisors, Inc., a Registered Investment Adviser, through common control and ownership. Our advisory services are separate and distinct from the affiliate and their services. Insurance Company We are affiliated with Lantern Insurance Brokerage, Inc. and Herold Insurance Agency, Inc. through common control and ownership. Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm may be licensed as insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to you. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate from our advisory fees. See the Fees and Compensation section in this brochure for more information on the compensation received by insurance agents who are affiliated with our firm. This affiliated firm is otherwise regulated by the professional organizations to which it belongs and must comply with the rules of those organizations. These rules may prohibit paying or receiving referral fees to or from investment advisers that are not members of the same organization. Referral arrangements with an affiliated entity present a conflict of interest for us because we may have a direct or indirect financial incentive to recommend an affiliated firm's services. While we believe that compensation charged by an affiliated firm is competitive, such compensation may be higher than fees charged by other firms providing the same or similar services. You are under no obligation to use the services of any firm we recommend, whether affiliated or otherwise, and may obtain comparable services and/or lower fees through other firms. 13 Code of Ethics Lantern Wealth Advisors, LLC has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at Lantern Wealth Advisors must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended. Lantern Wealth Advisors anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients' investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which Lantern Wealth Advisors has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which Lantern Wealth Advisors and/or, its associated persons may have a position of interest. Lantern Wealth Advisors' employees and persons associated with Lantern Wealth Advisors are required to follow Lantern Wealth Advisors' Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Lantern Wealth Advisors and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Lantern Wealth Advisors' clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of Lantern Wealth Advisors will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code certain classes of securities, such as mutual funds, have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that these would not materially interfere with the best interest of Lantern Wealth Advisors' clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of transactions in IPOs and private placements. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity in a security held by a client. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between Lantern Wealth Advisors and its clients. Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated basis when consistent with Lantern Wealth Advisors' obligation of best execution. In such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share commission costs equally and receive securities at a total average price. Lantern Wealth Advisors will retain records of the trade order (specifying each participating account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to the entry of the aggregated order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained on the Order. Lantern Wealth Advisors clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting Wendy Lanton Sheftel, Associate Compliance Officer. Review of Accounts Transactions placed through Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. accounts are reviewed on a daily basis by Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. associates processing such transactions, and LWA reviews each account periodically, and not less than annually, to ensure that the account is managed in accordance with stated objectives. 14 Annually, for accounts in existence for more than 6 months, LWA's introducing investment adviser representative will either personally meet or discuss on the telephone with each of their clients and LWA will survey accounts for any changes in the Investment Questionnaire. LWA reviews these updates to determine whether changes may have an effect on the ongoing suitability of investments in clients' portfolios or would cause a revision to investment strategies. Client Referrals and Other Compensation As disclosed under the Services, Fees and Compensation section in this brochure, persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed insurance agents, and are registered representatives with Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., a securities broker-dealer, and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. For information on the conflicts of interest this presents, and how we address these conflicts, refer to the Services, Fees and Compensation section. Investment adviser representatives of LWA will receive a percentage of the wrap fees paid by advisory clients to compensate them for solicitation, shareholder support, advice, order placement and execution and other services. Lantern Wealth Advisors and/or its investment adviser representatives may be entitled to receive incentive awards for the sale of insurance products and/or distribution fees for the placement of client funds into investment company products. Costs incurred by the clients in the purchase of such insurance or investment company products are not increased as a result of these incentive awards or additional compensation; however, receipt of this additional compensation may create a conflict of interest, as the investment adviser representative may have an incentive to recommend products based on the compensation received rather than on the needs of the client. All investment adviser representatives of the firm have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of the firm's clients based on the client's specific needs and objectives. Lantern Wealth Advisors does not compensate others for client referrals. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc., an affiliated broker-dealer receives marketing assistance payments from most of the market sweep program offerings made available on our brokerage and advisory platform. The amount of payment is dependent upon the amount of aggregate dollars invested in a money market over a given month and can range from zero to 0.00043 of the monthly balance. Money market sweep programs that do not pay marketing assistance are also available to Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc. and Lantern Wealth Advisors brokerage and advisory platforms (respectively). Use of sweep offerings that pay marketing assistance can have a negative impact on the performance results of the money market fund. Amounts received from these marketing assistance programs are used to contain costs across Herold & Lantern Investments, Inc.'s product offerings, which Lantern Wealth Advisors may utilize. These arrangements present a conflict of interest when it comes to selecting or recommending a money market sweep option. For additional information see "Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses" and "Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products" in Item 4. Financial Information Lantern Wealth Advisors does not require the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six months or more in advance of providing services to clients. Further, Lantern Wealth Advisors has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 15
