Firm Information Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC (“LEFP” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws of the State of Tennessee. LEFP was founded in November 2015 and is owned and operated by Kevin Gormley (Chief Financial Officer), Charles Mattingly (Chief Executive Officer and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by LEFP. B. Advisory Services Offered LEFP offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates and businesses (each referred to as a “Client”). The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. LEFP's fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading. Wealth Management Services LEFP provides Clients with wealth management services, which generally include a broad range of financial planning services as well as discretionary management of investment portfolios. Financial Planning Services – LEFP will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients as a component of wealth management services. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, risk management, college savings, cash flow, debt management, employer benefits, estate and incapacity planning, insurance analysis, tax planning, and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. LEFP will, when deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for wealth management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor. Investment Management Services – LEFP provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management and related advisory services. LEFP works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 4 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. LEFP will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize individual stocks or bonds to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client. LEFP’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. LEFP will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. LEFP evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. LEFP may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. LEFP may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. LEFP may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Under certain circumstances, LEFP may accept or maintain custody of Client’s funds or securities. Please see Item 15 – Custody for more information. Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor. Participant Account Management - As part of LEFP’s wealth management services, when appropriate, the Advisor may use a third party platform to facilitate discretionary investment management of held away assets such as 401(k), and other defined contribution plan participant accounts. The platform enables LEFP to gain access to the Client account(s) without maintaining access to the Client’s login credentials. A link will be provided to the Client allowing them to connect an account(s) to the platform. Once Client account(s) is connected to the platform, Adviser will review the current account allocations. LEFP is not affiliated with the platform in any way and receives no compensation from them for using their platform. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging LEFP to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: ● Establishing an Investment Strategy – LEFP, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives. ● Asset Allocation – LEFP will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client. Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 5 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  ● Portfolio Construction – LEFP will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. ● Wealth Management and Supervision – LEFP will provide wealth management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D. Wrap Fee Programs LEFP does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Wealth Management services are provided directly by LEFP. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2024, LEFP manages $360,175,782 in Client assets, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more written agreements with the Advisor. A. Fees for Advisory Services Wealth Management Services Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the wealth management agreement. Wealth Management fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Wealth management fees are based on the following schedule: Annual Rate (%) Assets Under Management ($) Up to $250,000 $250,001 to $1,000,000 $1,000,001 to $2,000,000 $2,000,001 to $3,000,000 $3,000,001 to $5,000,000 $5,000,001 to $7,000,000 $7,000,001 and Over 1.00% 0.95% 0.85% 0.75% 0.65% 0.55% Negotiable The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by LEFP will be independently valued by the Custodian. LEFP will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing. The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. B. Fee Billing Wealth Management Services Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with LEFP at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 6 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  investment advisory fee. Clients are urged to also review these statements, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by LEFP to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than LEFP, in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. The fees charged by LEFP are separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees. In addition, all fees paid to LEFP for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of LEFP, but would not receive the services provided by LEFP which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by LEFP to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Wealth Management Services LEFP may be compensated for its wealth management services in advance of the quarter in which services are rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities LEFP does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management LEFP does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by LEFP are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. LEFP does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients. Item 7 – Types of Clients LEFP offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts and estates and businesses. LEFP generally does not impose a minimum relationship size. LEFP generally requires a minimum fee of $2,400 to effectively implement its wealth management services. Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 7 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis LEFP uses strategic asset allocation strategies for portfolio management, based on principals of diversification. Our primary investment tools are no-load mutual funds and ETFs (”Exchange Traded Funds”). From time to time, CD’s, individual bonds, or annuities may also be used for a portion of a portfolio’s cash and fixed income allocation. LEFP selects and evaluates mutual funds and ETFs based on their people, process, performance, and cost. Once selected, a manager is allowed periods of underperformance if they remain consistent to their philosophy and process. They may be replaced immediately if their implementation strays significantly from the stated philosophy or process. Evaluation of managers entails a detailed review of all available pertinent information, including fundamental and cyclical analyses. Performance is measured against appropriate benchmarks, not broad market indices. As noted above, LEFP generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. LEFP will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, LEFP may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class. B. Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. LEFP will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts. Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. LEFP may also implement and/or recommend the use of margin in Client accounts. This presents certain risks that should be considered. (See discussion below). Margin Borrowings LEFP does not recommend margin as an investment strategy. However, certain Clients may utilize margin in their accounts for the timing of purchases and sales or other liquidity needs. Margin is an investment strategy with a high level of inherent risk. A margin transaction occurs when an investor uses borrowed assets to purchase financial instruments. The investor generally obtains the borrowed assets by using other securities as collateral for the Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 8 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  borrowed sum. The effect of purchasing a security using margin is to magnify any gains or losses sustained by the purchase of the financial instruments on margin. Please Note: To the extent that a Client authorizes the use of margin, and margin is thereafter employed by the Advisor in the management of the Client’s investment portfolio, the market value of the Client’s account, and corresponding fee payable by the Client to the Advisor may be increased. As a result, in addition to understanding and assuming the additional principal risks associated with the use of margin, Clients authorizing margin are advised of the potential conflict of interest whereby the Client’s decision to employ margin may correspondingly increase the management fee payable to LEFP. Accordingly, the decision as to whether to employ margin is left totally to the discretion of the Client. Policy: At no time will the Advisors fee be applied to the amount of margin borrowed in a Clients account. The Adviser’s fee is applied only to the market value of the Client’s account(s), excluding any securities purchased with the margin borrowed. The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies: Market Risks The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall financial markets. ETF Risks The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid- ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later. Bond Risks Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond. Mutual Fund Risks The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 9 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving LEFP or its management persons. LEFP values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 277149. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Leading Edge Tax Planning LLC The Advisor is affiliated and under common control with Leading Edge Tax Planning LLC (“LETP”). LETP offers tax preparation and accounting services to the Clients based on the unique needs of each Client. Clients are advised that these services may be separate and distinct from the advisory services offered by LEFP and that the receipt of additional compensation by certain management persons poses a conflict of interest. Clients are not obligated to engage LETP for these tax preparation and accounting services in order to maintain an advisory relationship with the Advisor. Insurance Recommendations Advisory Persons of LEFP are not licensed as insurance professionals. However, in the course of their related investment advice, the Advisor and its Advisory Persons will assist Clients with insurance needs. LEFP has developed a relationship with DPL Financial Partners, LLC (“DPL”) to assist with the insurance needs of Clients. By working with DPL, LEFP will provide insurance reviews/analyses, education, and insurance solutions in a conflict free manner. DPL is a third-party provider of a platform of insurance consultancy services to SEC- registered investment advisors like LEFP. DPL offers RIAs memberships to its platform for a fixed annual fee and, through its licensed insurance agents, who are also registered representatives of The Leaders Group, Inc. (“The Leaders Group”), an unaffiliated SEC-registered broker-dealer and FINRA member, offers members a variety of services relating to fee-based insurance products. These services include, among others, providing members with analyses of their current methodology for evaluating client insurance needs, educating and acting as a resource to members regarding insurance products generally and specific insurance products owned by their clients or that their clients are considering purchasing, and providing members access to and product marketing support regarding fee-based products that insurers have agreed to offer to members’ clients through DPL’s platform. For providing platform services to RIAs, DPL receives service fees from the insurers that offer their fee-based products through the platform. These service fees are based on the insurance premiums received by the insurers. DPL is licensed as an insurance producer in Kentucky and other jurisdictions where required to perform the platform services. Its representatives are also licensed as insurance producers, appointed as insurance agents of the insurers offering their products through the platform, and registered representatives of The Leaders Group.” Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics LEFP has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with LEFP (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client. LEFP and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of LEFP’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at 865-240-2292. B. Personal Trading with Material Interest LEFP allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. LEFP does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. LEFP does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 10 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients LEFP allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by LEFP requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client While LEFP allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards. At no time will LEFP, or any Supervised Person of LEFP, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] LEFP does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize LEFP to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, LEFP does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade- by-trade basis. Where LEFP does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not recommended by LEFP. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. LEFP may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. LEFP will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), or Interactive Brokers, LLC (“IBKR”), each a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Schwab or IBKR will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. LEFP maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab and IBKR, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from both Schwab and IBKR. Please see Item 14 below for additional information. Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. LEFP does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker- dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below. 2. Brokerage Referrals - LEFP does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account.

Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where LEFP will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). LEFP will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. LEFP will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. LEFP may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of LEFP. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently depending on the needs of the Client. B. Causes for Reviews In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify LEFP if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events. C. Review Reports The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Compensation Received by LEFP LEFP is a fee-only advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients and not from any investment product. LEFP does not receive commissions or other compensation from product sponsors, broker-dealers or any un- related third party. LEFP may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, LEFP may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties. Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform Schwab – LEFP has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like LEFP. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, LEFP receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders wealth management services to Clients that maintain assets at Leading Edge Financial Planning LLC 6921 Office Park Circle, Knoxville, TN 37909 Phone: 865-240-2292 | Fax: 865-409-0130 Page 12 www.leadingedgeplanning.com  Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client were to directly access the investments. Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology, research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts, the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back office support services as part of its relationship with Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients, but may not directly benefit all Clients. Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services to LEFP that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, consulting services and discounts for various service providers. Access to these services creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results in a potential conflict of interest. LEFP believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best interests of its Clients. IBKR – LEFP has also established an institutional relationship with Interactive Brokers, LLC (“IBKR”) to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. Access to the IBKR platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders wealth management services to Clients that maintain assets at IBKR. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor’s recommendation of this custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. Additionally, the Advisor may receive the following benefits from IBKR: receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for Client order entry and account information. B. Compensation for Client Referrals The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client referrals. Item 15 – Custody The Advisor is considered to have custody under the following circumstances and is consequently required to undergo an annual surprise examination. Client Login Credentials- LEFP is deemed to have custody over certain Client accounts and/or securities as part of their access to Client login credentials. As such, the Advisor has engaged an independent accounting firm to perform an annual surprise examination of those assets and accounts. Any related opinions issued by an independent accounting firm are filed with the SEC and are publicly available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website (http://adviserinfo.sec.gov).

However, specific safeguards have been implemented to ensure that the associated Clients and accounts are exempt from an annual surprise examination. Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of advisory fees, all Clients for whom LEFP exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a "qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and securities and must instruct LEFP to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by LEFP to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize LEFP to move funds between their accounts, LEFP and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions. Item 16 – Investment Discretion LEFP generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by LEFP. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by LEFP will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities LEFP does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting. Item 18 – Financial Information Neither LEFP, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of LEFP to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither LEFP, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. LEFP is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in the future.
