LINDAHL & MANSAGER, INC., CRS March 28, 2025
“Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or
why not? What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education and other
qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?” Lindahl & Mansager, Inc. (established in
November, 1992) are registered investment advisers with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Both Norman Lindahl and Douglas Mansager, two of the principal owners, are
Certified Financial Planners (check Finra.org/investors/professional-designations/cfp for more
information). “What investment services and advice can you provide me?” Brokerage and
investment advisory services and fees are different and it is important for the retail investor to
understand the differences. Our services include tax planning, tax preparation, investment
management, accounting services and general financial planning. We provide investment
management services to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and businesses. As an
investment advisory firm, we perform portfolio management through continuous supervision and
monitoring taking into account your specific investment goals and objectives.
RELATIONSHIPS AND SERVICES
“How will you choose investments to recommend to me?” Our investment strategy is to
recommend open ended mutual funds, exchange traded funds, or money market funds. We
always buy no-load, no-transaction-fee mutual funds and exchange traded funds. We never
recommend individual stock, corporate or municipal bond purchases. We only purchase stocks,
corporate or municipal bonds for you upon your request. We do not impose a minimum amount
to open an account with us. We receive discretionary authority from you at the outset of our
advisory relationship, and through limited powers of attorney, execute transactions after
consultation with you about your investment objectives. In all cases, such discretion is exercised
in a manner consistent with your stated investment objectives, limitations and restrictions.
We do not maintain custody of your assets that we manage. We recommend that our clients use
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the qualified
custodian. We are independently owned and operated and are not affiliated with Schwab. (check
Finra.org/investors/learn-to-invest/choosing-investment-professional/investment-advisers for
more information). Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell
securities when either we or you instruct them to. While we recommend that you use Schwab as
custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and will open your account with Schwab by
entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do not open the account for you,
although we may assist you in doing so. Schwab does not charge you separately for custody
services. You authorize us to instruct Schwab to deduct our advisory fees directly from your
account. You will receive account statements directly from Schwab. We believe that a
buy-and-hold strategy far outperforms and is less risky than attempts to time the market.
However, if you are investing in mutual funds, you must be aware that the value of your fund
may decrease if the value of an individual security or multiple securities in the mutual fund’s
portfolio decreases, or if the portfolio manager’s belief about a security’s intrinsic worth is
incorrect. Further, regardless of how well individual securities perform, the value of the mutual
fund’s portfolio could also decrease if there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is
important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in
response to changes in the market, and you could lose money.
FEES, COSTS, CONFLICTS AND STANDARD CONDUCT
“Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you
$10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for
me?” The specific manner in which we charge investment management fees is established in a
written agreement with you. We deduct fees from your account(s) on a quarterly basis. Fees are
based on a percentage of the total market value of assets in your investment account(s) at the end
of each three month period. The current fee is charged at a flat .25% (annualized) rate payable
quarterly. Quarters run from January 1 to March 31, April 1 to June 30, July 1 to September 30
and October 1 to December 31. So, if you give us $10,000, our annual fee would be $25. Mutual
funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a
fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our
fee, and we do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. We only
recommend funds whose expense ratio we deem to be reasonable, generally that means funds
whose expense ratio falls below the average mutual fund expense ratio in its group. By charging
an asset management fee (unlike transaction oriented fees) we are tied into the success of your
portfolio – if your assets increase in value, our fee increases, and if your assets decrease in value,
our fee decreases. All of our firm’s financial professionals are salaried. No one in our firm
receives compensation based on transactions made or the amount of assets under management, or
number of accounts we have. You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on
your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your
investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. The
more assets there are in a retail investor’s advisory account, the more a retail investor will pay in
fees, and we may therefore have an incentive to encourage the retail investor to increase the
assets in his or her account.
“How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?” As a firm
policy, we do not engage in any material relationships or arrangements with any related financial
industry participants, nor do we select or recommend other advisers for clients. We believe that
doing so, would create potential conflicts of interest and possibly impair the objectivity of our
investment advice. In addition, we do not accept payment for client referrals, commissions,
transaction fees, soft dollars, or any other financial incentives for recommending a particular
financial product. Furthermore, we do not accept any gifts that would in any way influence our
investment decisions. When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best
interest and not put our interest ahead of yours and provide investment advice that is suitable to
you. At the same time, the way we make money may create some conflicts with your interests.
You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment
advice we provide you. We are fully committed to providing full disclosure of material facts and
potential conflicts of interest.
DISCIPLINARY HISTORY
“Do you or your financial professionals have legal or disciplinary history?” No.
Who is my primary contact person? Is he or she a representative of an investment adviser
or a broker dealer? Who can I talk to if I have concerns about how this person is treating
me? You can receive additional information regarding our investment services by calling our
office (330-665-0655) or emailing us (n.lindahl@lindahlandandmansager.com). Also, check

Item 4 – Advisory Business
Lindahl & Mansager, Inc. was established in November, 1992 by its three principal
owners, Norman A. Lindahl, President; Douglas N. Mansager, Vice President; and Laura
M. Lindahl, Treasurer. Our services include tax planning, tax preparation, investment
management, accounting services and general financial planning.
As an investment advisory firm, we perform portfolio management through continuous
supervision taking into account your specific goals and objectives. One of the principal
risks that you, as an investor, face is owning a group of assets that are completely
irrelevant to your financial needs. When we put together an investment portfolio, it is
constructed to meet your individual goals. It reflects a thoughtful and coherent strategy
based on your particular financial and tax situation. Finally, your portfolio is continually
monitored and changed as your goals and financial situation changes.
We never recommend individual stock, corporate or municipal bond purchases. We
only recommend open ended mutual funds, exchange traded funds, or money market
funds. We only purchase stocks, corporate or municipal bonds for you upon your
request.
In addition, we never recommend that you purchase a variable annuity. If you own a
variable annuity, we would recommend that you transfer it to a no-commission,
no-redemption-fee, low-cost variable annuity.
We always buy no-load, no-transaction-fee mutual funds and exchange traded funds.
Loads (commissions) are used to compensate sales personnel; they are not used to
support more effective fund management. Some load funds have performed well, but
there are plenty of no–load funds with exceptional historical returns. We believe loads
penalize investors with significant expenses that are detrimental to total return. We use
the Schwab Advisor Services™ One Source offered through Charles Schwab & Co. to
purchase no-load, no-transaction-fee mutual funds for you.
As of December 31, 2024, Lindahl & Mansager had $192,663,000 of assets under
management, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
4
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The specific manner in which we charge investment management fees is established in a
written agreement with you. We deduct fees from your account(s) on a quarterly basis.
Fees are based on a percentage of the total market value of assets in your investment
account(s) at the end of each three month period. The current fee is charged at a flat
.25% (annualized) rate payable quarterly. Quarters run from January 1 to March 31,
April 1 to June 30, July 1 to September 30 and October 1 to December 31. The
investment advisory agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, with
written notice. All quarterly fees will be waived if termination is requested at any time
before the end of each quarter. By charging an asset management fee (unlike
transaction oriented fees) we are tied into the success of your portfolio – if your assets
increase in value, our fee increases, and if your assets decrease in value, our fee
decreases.
Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs
and expenses. You may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party
investment and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees,
deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are
disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and
in addition to our fee, and we do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and
costs.
We believe lowering expenses is the one risk free way to increase total return. All
mutual funds have expenses. They are a necessary part of administering and
researching investments. But like any business, some mutual fund companies operate
efficiently, others do not; some charge reasonable management fees, while others have a
history of overcompensating themselves. We only recommend funds whose expense
ratio we deem to be reasonable, generally that means funds whose expense ratio falls
below the average mutual fund expense ratio in its group. Beyond the mutual fund’s
prospectus, we use Morningstar, an independent research source for mutual funds, to
ascertain a fund’s true expense ratio.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices further describes the factors that we consider in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for your transactions and determining the reasonableness
of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
5
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
We provide portfolio management services to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and
businesses. We do not impose a minimum amount to open an account with us.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
We believe that one key ingredient to successful investing and investment risk
reduction is the benefit of diversification. In our opinion, diversification helps reduce
unnecessary risk. We believe the most sensible way to diversify is for you to own
mutual funds. When properly chosen, mutual funds combine professional management,
ease of purchase and redemption, a high level of transparency, and cost efficiency. To
further diversify, we recommend a broad asset mix for your portfolio, including U.S.
Large Company Funds, U.S. Mid and Small Company Funds, International Funds,
Specialty Funds, and Fixed Income Investments (short-term U.S. treasuries, short- term
certificates of deposit, or money market funds). Investment risk can never be
completely eliminated from the investment process. The key is not to take on
unnecessary risk. In other words, manage risk efficiently - the least amount of risk to
provide the highest amount of return. In this regard, the decision we make about the
asset mix of your portfolio is the most important investment decision we will make. One
asset class in a portfolio should add value to the others. It is the blending and grouping
of assets that can make the whole greater and less risky than sum of its parts.
Another way we measure the risk potential of each fund is by using the
Morningstar 10–year risk ratings. These ratings use the 3–month Treasury returns as
an initial benchmark and express how risky a fund is relative to the average fund in its
group. By using these ratings, we seek to identify funds that have produced the highest
level of return relative to the risk they have taken.
We believe that a buy-and-hold strategy far outperforms and is less risky than
attempts to time the market. No one has ever been consistently successful at calling
market tops or bottoms. We use time, not timing to reduce risk. In this regard, we often
6
employ dollar cost averaging to reduce risk. Instead of plunging your cash into the
market all at once, we will make an initial investment and then a fixed dollar amount of
additional investments each month over a period of time. By doing so, we avoid the
potential of placing a substantial portion of your portfolio at the high point of a market
cycle. In addition, a program of investing equal sums of money at regular intervals
results in more shares being purchased when prices are relatively low and less when
prices are relatively high. This produces a mathematical pattern of a lower per share
cost over time.
Even with all these strategies to reduce risk, if you are investing in mutual funds, you must
be aware that the value of your fund may decrease if the value of an individual security or
multiple securities in the mutual fund’s portfolio decreases, or if the portfolio manager’s
belief about a security’s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well
individual securities perform, the value of the mutual fund’s portfolio could also decrease if
there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that
the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the
market, and you could lose money.
Finally, we encourage you to read the fund prospectuses for the individual funds we
recommend to you. These prospectuses offer information on the individual fund’s
investment strategies and the specific risks those strategies can face.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any
legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity
of our management. We have no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We also provide tax advice, prepare tax returns and provide accounting services. These services
are provided and charged based on the complexity of a client’s tax situation and accounting
needs.
As a firm policy, we do not engage in any material relationships or arrangements with any
related financial industry participants, nor do we select or recommend other advisers for
7
clients. We believe that doing so, would create potential conflicts of interest and possibly
impair the objectivity of our investment advice.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
The primary tenant of our code of ethics is to create a structure that puts our own self interest in
line with the best interest of our clients; an environment of common purpose. In doing so, we are
committed to maintain compliance with federal and applicable state securities law. In addition,
we have a position of public trust and it is our goal to maintain that trust; provide excellent
service, and investment advice that is suitable to our clients. Further, we are committed to
providing full disclosure of material facts and potential conflict of interest.
We have adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm which describes a
high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to our 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 of our supervised persons
must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Because we only recommend open ended mutual funds, exchange traded funds, short-term
U.S. treasuries, short- term certificates of deposit, or money market funds, the possibility
that employees might benefit from market activity by you in a security held by an employee
is minimized. However, when purchases and sales of recommended securities are made for
us, or individuals associated with us are made in conjunction with your purchases and
sales, you will always receive, if possible, the preferential price. We, or individuals
associated with us, will not have any time advantage whatsoever in implementing any
recommendation before it is available to you.
Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics to prevent conflicts of
interest between us and our clients.
You may request a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting Norman Lindahl.

Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
The Custodian and Brokers We Use
We do not maintain custody of your assets that we manage; although we may be deemed to
have custody of your assets if you give us authority to withdraw assets from your account
(see Item 15 – Custody, below). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a
“qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or bank. We recommend that our clients
use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the
qualified custodian. We are independently owned and operated and are not affiliated with
Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities
when either we or you instruct them to. While we recommend that you use Schwab as
custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and will open your account with
Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do not open the
account for you, although we may assist you in doing so.
How We Select Brokers/Custodians
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute
transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other
available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including,
among others:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services without a
separate fee for custody
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers,
check requests, bill payment, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded
funds [ETFs], etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment
decisions
• Quality of services
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates,
other fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Prior service to us and our other clients
• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see
“Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab”)
9
Your Brokerage and Custody Costs
Schwab does not charge you separately for custody services. We recommend our clients
invest in mutual funds that are available at Schwab on a no-load, no-fee basis. If you wish
to invest in other types of investments, or sell current positions that are not part of
Schwab’s no-load, no-fee mutual funds, Schwab may be compensated by charging you
commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into your Schwab
account. We believe Schwab’s commission rates and fees are among the lowest in the
industry. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab execute
trades for your account. We have determined that having Schwab execute trades is
consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the
most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed
above (see “How We Select Brokers/Custodians”).
Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly called Schwab Institutional®) is Schwab’s business
serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients
with access to its institutional brokerage - trading, custody, reporting, and related services
- many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes
available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer
our clients’ accounts; while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s
support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request
them) and at no charge to us as long as our clients collectively maintain a total of at least
$10 million of their assets in accounts at Schwab. If our clients collectively have less than
$10 million in assets at Schwab, Schwab may charge us quarterly service fees of $1,200.
Following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services:
Services that Benefit You. Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a
broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of
client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include some to which
we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum
initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally
benefit you and your account.
Services that May Not Directly Benefit You. Schwab also makes available to us other
products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account.
These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts.
They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may
use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including
10
accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also
makes available software and other technology that:
• Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements)
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts
• Provide pricing and other market data
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting
Services that Generally Benefit Only Us. Schwab also offers other services intended to
help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance
providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-
party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for
some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide
us with other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel.
Our Interest in Schwab’s Services
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to
produce or purchase them. We don’t have to pay for Schwab’s services so long as our
clients collectively keep a total of at least $10 million of their assets in accounts at Schwab.
Beyond that, these services are not contingent upon us committing any specific amount of
business to Schwab in trading commissions or assets in custody. The $10 million minimum
may give us an incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with Schwab,
based on our interest in receiving Schwab’s services that benefit our business, rather than
based on your interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the most
favorable execution of your transactions. This is a potential conflict of interest. We believe,
however, that our selection of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of
our clients. Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of
Schwab’s services (see “How We Select/Brokers/Custodians”) and not Schwab’s services
that benefit only us. As of December 31, 2018, we had $115,300,000.00 in client assets
11
under management, and we do not believe that recommending our clients to collectively
maintain at least $10 million of those assets at Schwab in order to avoid paying Schwab
quarterly service fees presents a material conflict of interest.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Norman Lindahl and Douglas Mansager provide portfolio management over your
investments on a daily basis. Monthly reports are sent to you by Charles Schwab &
Company, Inc. In addition, Norman Lindahl and Douglas Mansager meet with you in person
on a semi-annual basis to review written investment reports provided by us. These reports
include “Portfolio Position Analysis” (showing individual investment returns), “Portfolio
Performance Review” (showing overall investment return), and “Summary of
Transactions”, among others.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and
services it makes available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients
maintain their accounts at Schwab. These products and services, how they benefit us, and
the related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices).
The availability to us of Schwab’s products and services is not based on us giving particular
investment advice, such as buying particular securities for our clients.
To eliminate potential conflict of interest, we do not accept payment for client referrals,
commissions, transaction fees, soft dollars, or any other financial incentives for
recommending a particular financial product. In addition, we do not accept any gifts that
would in any way influence our investment decisions.
Item 15 – Custody
Under government regulations, we are deemed to have custody of your assets if, for
example, you authorize us to instruct Schwab to deduct our advisory fees directly from
your account. Schwab maintains actual custody of your assets. You will receive account
statements directly from Schwab. They will be sent to the email or postal mailing address
you provided to Schwab. You should carefully review those statements promptly when you
12
receive them. We also urge you to compare Schwab’s account statements to the semi-
annual portfolio reports you will receive from us.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
We receive discretionary authority from you at the outset of our advisory relationship, and
through limited powers of attorney, execute transactions after consultation with you about
your investment objectives. In addition, we identify with you which securities and the
amount of securities that are to be bought or sold. In all cases, such discretion is exercised
in a manner consistent with your stated investment objectives, limitations and restrictions.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, we do not have any authority to and do not vote
proxies on your behalf. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for
any and all securities maintained in your portfolio. Upon your request, we may provide
advice to you regarding your voting of proxies.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain
financial information or disclosures about our financial condition. We have no financial
commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to
clients, and we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

Item 4 – Advisory Business
Lindahl & Mansager, Inc. was established in November, 1992 by its three principal
owners, Norman A. Lindahl, President; Douglas N. Mansager, Vice President; and Laura
M. Lindahl, Treasurer. Our services include tax planning, tax preparation, investment
management, accounting services and general financial planning.
As an investment advisory firm, we perform portfolio management through continuous
supervision taking into account your specific goals and objectives. One of the principal
risks that you, as an investor, face is owning a group of assets that are completely
irrelevant to your financial needs. When we put together an investment portfolio, it is
constructed to meet your individual goals. It reflects a thoughtful and coherent strategy
based on your particular financial and tax situation. Finally, your portfolio is continually
monitored and changed as your goals and financial situation changes.
We never recommend individual stock, corporate or municipal bond purchases. We
only recommend open ended mutual funds, exchange traded funds, or money market
funds. We only purchase stocks, corporate or municipal bonds for you upon your
request.
In addition, we never recommend that you purchase a variable annuity. If you own a
variable annuity, we would recommend that you transfer it to a no-commission,
no-redemption-fee, low-cost variable annuity.
We always buy no-load, no-transaction-fee mutual funds and exchange traded funds.
Loads (commissions) are used to compensate sales personnel; they are not used to
support more effective fund management. Some load funds have performed well, but
there are plenty of no–load funds with exceptional historical returns. We believe loads
penalize investors with significant expenses that are detrimental to total return. We use
the Schwab Advisor Services™ One Source offered through Charles Schwab & Co. to
purchase no-load, no-transaction-fee mutual funds for you.
As of December 31, 2024, Lindahl & Mansager had $192,663,000 of assets under
management, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis.
4
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The specific manner in which we charge investment management fees is established in a
written agreement with you. We deduct fees from your account(s) on a quarterly basis.
Fees are based on a percentage of the total market value of assets in your investment
account(s) at the end of each three month period. The current fee is charged at a flat
.25% (annualized) rate payable quarterly. Quarters run from January 1 to March 31,
April 1 to June 30, July 1 to September 30 and October 1 to December 31. The
investment advisory agreement may be canceled at any time, by either party, with
written notice. All quarterly fees will be waived if termination is requested at any time
before the end of each quarter. By charging an asset management fee (unlike
transaction oriented fees) we are tied into the success of your portfolio – if your assets
increase in value, our fee increases, and if your assets decrease in value, our fee
decreases.
Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs
and expenses. You may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party
investment and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees,
deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are
disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and
in addition to our fee, and we do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and
costs.
We believe lowering expenses is the one risk free way to increase total return. All
mutual funds have expenses. They are a necessary part of administering and
researching investments. But like any business, some mutual fund companies operate
efficiently, others do not; some charge reasonable management fees, while others have a
history of overcompensating themselves. We only recommend funds whose expense
ratio we deem to be reasonable, generally that means funds whose expense ratio falls
below the average mutual fund expense ratio in its group. Beyond the mutual fund’s
prospectus, we use Morningstar, an independent research source for mutual funds, to
ascertain a fund’s true expense ratio.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices further describes the factors that we consider in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for your transactions and determining the reasonableness
of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
5
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
We do not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
We provide portfolio management services to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and
businesses. We do not impose a minimum amount to open an account with us.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
We believe that one key ingredient to successful investing and investment risk
reduction is the benefit of diversification. In our opinion, diversification helps reduce
unnecessary risk. We believe the most sensible way to diversify is for you to own
mutual funds. When properly chosen, mutual funds combine professional management,
ease of purchase and redemption, a high level of transparency, and cost efficiency. To
further diversify, we recommend a broad asset mix for your portfolio, including U.S.
Large Company Funds, U.S. Mid and Small Company Funds, International Funds,
Specialty Funds, and Fixed Income Investments (short-term U.S. treasuries, short- term
certificates of deposit, or money market funds). Investment risk can never be
completely eliminated from the investment process. The key is not to take on
unnecessary risk. In other words, manage risk efficiently - the least amount of risk to
provide the highest amount of return. In this regard, the decision we make about the
asset mix of your portfolio is the most important investment decision we will make. One
asset class in a portfolio should add value to the others. It is the blending and grouping
of assets that can make the whole greater and less risky than sum of its parts.
Another way we measure the risk potential of each fund is by using the
Morningstar 10–year risk ratings. These ratings use the 3–month Treasury returns as
an initial benchmark and express how risky a fund is relative to the average fund in its
group. By using these ratings, we seek to identify funds that have produced the highest
level of return relative to the risk they have taken.
We believe that a buy-and-hold strategy far outperforms and is less risky than
attempts to time the market. No one has ever been consistently successful at calling
market tops or bottoms. We use time, not timing to reduce risk. In this regard, we often
6
employ dollar cost averaging to reduce risk. Instead of plunging your cash into the
market all at once, we will make an initial investment and then a fixed dollar amount of
additional investments each month over a period of time. By doing so, we avoid the
potential of placing a substantial portion of your portfolio at the high point of a market
cycle. In addition, a program of investing equal sums of money at regular intervals
results in more shares being purchased when prices are relatively low and less when
prices are relatively high. This produces a mathematical pattern of a lower per share
cost over time.
Even with all these strategies to reduce risk, if you are investing in mutual funds, you must
be aware that the value of your fund may decrease if the value of an individual security or
multiple securities in the mutual fund’s portfolio decreases, or if the portfolio manager’s
belief about a security’s intrinsic worth is incorrect. Further, regardless of how well
individual securities perform, the value of the mutual fund’s portfolio could also decrease if
there are deteriorating economic or market conditions. It is important to understand that
the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply, in response to changes in the
market, and you could lose money.
Finally, we encourage you to read the fund prospectuses for the individual funds we
recommend to you. These prospectuses offer information on the individual fund’s
investment strategies and the specific risks those strategies can face.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any
legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity
of our management. We have no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We also provide tax advice, prepare tax returns and provide accounting services. These services
are provided and charged based on the complexity of a client’s tax situation and accounting
needs.
As a firm policy, we do not engage in any material relationships or arrangements with any
related financial industry participants, nor do we select or recommend other advisers for
7
clients. We believe that doing so, would create potential conflicts of interest and possibly
impair the objectivity of our investment advice.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
The primary tenant of our code of ethics is to create a structure that puts our own self interest in
line with the best interest of our clients; an environment of common purpose. In doing so, we are
committed to maintain compliance with federal and applicable state securities law. In addition,
we have a position of public trust and it is our goal to maintain that trust; provide excellent
service, and investment advice that is suitable to our clients. Further, we are committed to
providing full disclosure of material facts and potential conflict of interest.
We have adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm which describes a
high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to our 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 of our supervised persons
must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Because we only recommend open ended mutual funds, exchange traded funds, short-term
U.S. treasuries, short- term certificates of deposit, or money market funds, the possibility
that employees might benefit from market activity by you in a security held by an employee
is minimized. However, when purchases and sales of recommended securities are made for
us, or individuals associated with us are made in conjunction with your purchases and
sales, you will always receive, if possible, the preferential price. We, or individuals
associated with us, will not have any time advantage whatsoever in implementing any
recommendation before it is available to you.
Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics to prevent conflicts of
interest between us and our clients.
You may request a copy of our Code of Ethics by contacting Norman Lindahl.

Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
The Custodian and Brokers We Use
We do not maintain custody of your assets that we manage; although we may be deemed to
have custody of your assets if you give us authority to withdraw assets from your account
(see Item 15 – Custody, below). Your assets must be maintained in an account at a
“qualified custodian,” generally a broker-dealer or bank. We recommend that our clients
use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as the
qualified custodian. We are independently owned and operated and are not affiliated with
Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities
when either we or you instruct them to. While we recommend that you use Schwab as
custodian/broker, you will decide whether to do so and will open your account with
Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do not open the
account for you, although we may assist you in doing so.
How We Select Brokers/Custodians
We seek to recommend a custodian/broker who will hold your assets and execute
transactions on terms that are, overall, most advantageous when compared to other
available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including,
among others:
• Combination of transaction execution services and asset custody services without a
separate fee for custody
• Capability to execute, clear, and settle trades (buy and sell securities for your account)
• Capability to facilitate transfers and payments to and from accounts (wire transfers,
check requests, bill payment, etc.)
• Breadth of available investment products (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded
funds [ETFs], etc.)
• Availability of investment research and tools that assist us in making investment
decisions
• Quality of services
• Competitiveness of the price of those services (commission rates, margin interest rates,
other fees, etc.) and willingness to negotiate the prices
• Reputation, financial strength, and stability
• Prior service to us and our other clients
• Availability of other products and services that benefit us, as discussed below (see
“Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab”)
9
Your Brokerage and Custody Costs
Schwab does not charge you separately for custody services. We recommend our clients
invest in mutual funds that are available at Schwab on a no-load, no-fee basis. If you wish
to invest in other types of investments, or sell current positions that are not part of
Schwab’s no-load, no-fee mutual funds, Schwab may be compensated by charging you
commissions or other fees on trades that it executes or that settle into your Schwab
account. We believe Schwab’s commission rates and fees are among the lowest in the
industry. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have Schwab execute
trades for your account. We have determined that having Schwab execute trades is
consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the
most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed
above (see “How We Select Brokers/Custodians”).
Products and Services Available to Us from Schwab
Schwab Advisor Services™ (formerly called Schwab Institutional®) is Schwab’s business
serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients
with access to its institutional brokerage - trading, custody, reporting, and related services
- many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes
available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer
our clients’ accounts; while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s
support services generally are available on an unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request
them) and at no charge to us as long as our clients collectively maintain a total of at least
$10 million of their assets in accounts at Schwab. If our clients collectively have less than
$10 million in assets at Schwab, Schwab may charge us quarterly service fees of $1,200.
Following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services:
Services that Benefit You. Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a
broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of
client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include some to which
we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum
initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally
benefit you and your account.
Services that May Not Directly Benefit You. Schwab also makes available to us other
products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account.
These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts.
They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may
use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including
10
accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also
makes available software and other technology that:
• Provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account
statements)
• Facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client
accounts
• Provide pricing and other market data
• Facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts
• Assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting
Services that Generally Benefit Only Us. Schwab also offers other services intended to
help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include:
• Educational conferences and events
• Consulting on technology, compliance, legal, and business needs
• Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession
• Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance
providers
Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-
party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for
some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide
us with other benefits, such as occasional business entertainment of our personnel.
Our Interest in Schwab’s Services
The availability of these services from Schwab benefits us because we do not have to
produce or purchase them. We don’t have to pay for Schwab’s services so long as our
clients collectively keep a total of at least $10 million of their assets in accounts at Schwab.
Beyond that, these services are not contingent upon us committing any specific amount of
business to Schwab in trading commissions or assets in custody. The $10 million minimum
may give us an incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with Schwab,
based on our interest in receiving Schwab’s services that benefit our business, rather than
based on your interest in receiving the best value in custody services and the most
favorable execution of your transactions. This is a potential conflict of interest. We believe,
however, that our selection of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of
our clients. Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of
Schwab’s services (see “How We Select/Brokers/Custodians”) and not Schwab’s services
that benefit only us. As of December 31, 2018, we had $115,300,000.00 in client assets
11
under management, and we do not believe that recommending our clients to collectively
maintain at least $10 million of those assets at Schwab in order to avoid paying Schwab
quarterly service fees presents a material conflict of interest.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Norman Lindahl and Douglas Mansager provide portfolio management over your
investments on a daily basis. Monthly reports are sent to you by Charles Schwab &
Company, Inc. In addition, Norman Lindahl and Douglas Mansager meet with you in person
on a semi-annual basis to review written investment reports provided by us. These reports
include “Portfolio Position Analysis” (showing individual investment returns), “Portfolio
Performance Review” (showing overall investment return), and “Summary of
Transactions”, among others.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and
services it makes available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients
maintain their accounts at Schwab. These products and services, how they benefit us, and
the related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices).
The availability to us of Schwab’s products and services is not based on us giving particular
investment advice, such as buying particular securities for our clients.
To eliminate potential conflict of interest, we do not accept payment for client referrals,
commissions, transaction fees, soft dollars, or any other financial incentives for
recommending a particular financial product. In addition, we do not accept any gifts that
would in any way influence our investment decisions.
Item 15 – Custody
Under government regulations, we are deemed to have custody of your assets if, for
example, you authorize us to instruct Schwab to deduct our advisory fees directly from
your account. Schwab maintains actual custody of your assets. You will receive account
statements directly from Schwab. They will be sent to the email or postal mailing address
you provided to Schwab. You should carefully review those statements promptly when you
12
receive them. We also urge you to compare Schwab’s account statements to the semi-
annual portfolio reports you will receive from us.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
We receive discretionary authority from you at the outset of our advisory relationship, and
through limited powers of attorney, execute transactions after consultation with you about
your investment objectives. In addition, we identify with you which securities and the
amount of securities that are to be bought or sold. In all cases, such discretion is exercised
in a manner consistent with your stated investment objectives, limitations and restrictions.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, we do not have any authority to and do not vote
proxies on your behalf. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for
any and all securities maintained in your portfolio. Upon your request, we may provide
advice to you regarding your voting of proxies.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain
financial information or disclosures about our financial condition. We have no financial
commitment that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to
clients, and we have not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
