Item 4 – Advisory Business
About Locker Financial Services, LLC
Locker Financial Services, LLC (Locker Financial) is a limited liability company formed
in February 2000 in the state of New Jersey. Locker Financial became registered as an
investment adviser firm in January 1994. The principal owners of the firm are Lauren
Locker, CFP® and Andrew Chan, CFP®, CIMA®. Ms. Locker and Mr. Chan make the
major decisions of a strategic and administrative nature for the firm.
This narrative brochure contains information regarding Locker Financial and the
qualifications, business practices, and nature of advisory services that the firm provides.
This information should be carefully considered before becoming an advisory client of
Locker Financial.
Prior to engaging Locker Financial to provide services, clients are generally required to
enter into an agreement with Locker Financial setting the terms and conditions of the
engagement (including termination), describing the scope of the services to be
provided, and specifying the portion of the fee that is due from the client prior to Locker
Financial beginning services.
Financial Planning and Consulting
Locker Financial offers broad-based financial planning services. Such advice will
typically involve providing a variety of services, principally advisory in nature, regarding
the management of the client’s financial resources based upon an analysis of each
client’s individual needs. The process typically begins with an initial complementary
consultation which gives all parties an opportunity to get acquainted. If the client
decides to engage Locker Financial for financial planning services, pertinent information
about the client’s personal and financial circumstances and objectives are collected.
Financial planning clients may also be required to complete an investment-related
questionnaire as part of the information-gathering process. Locker Financial will
conduct follow-up interviews, as needed, for the purpose of reviewing and/or collecting
financial data. Once such information has been studied and analyzed, a written financial
plan designed to achieve the client’s expressed financial goals and objectives will be
produced and presented to the client.
To the extent requested by the client, financial planning advice may be rendered in the
areas of business planning, retirement planning, personal tax, cash flow planning,
estate planning, insurance planning, college planning, and compensation and benefits
planning, among others.
LFS will prepare and present a financial plan which shows the client multiple scenarios
based upon previously agreed-upon parameters, detail each plan component, suggest
action steps for implementation, explain any concepts the client does not immediately
understand completely, and leave time for plenty of questions. The plan includes a
digital document for the client to take away for future reference. It also includes a
reasonable number of follow-up phone calls or emails that may be required to resolve
Locker Financial Services, LLC | Item 4 – Advisory Business 1
FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC
January 1, 2026
issues that come up during implementation. This model usually requires the client to be
available soon after the initial get-to-know-you meeting for several pre-presentation
phone calls/emails, as well as for a presentation meeting that lasts 2-3 hours. LFS
strives to complete the portion of the planning work in 6-8 weeks after receipt of the
client deposit.
Financial plans are based on the client’s financial situation at the time the plan is
presented and are dependent on financial information disclosed by the client to Locker
Financial. Clients are advised that certain assumptions may be made about interest and
inflation rates and that plans may use past trends and past performance of the market
and economy. Past performance is in no way an indication of future performance.
Locker Financial cannot offer any guarantees or promises that the client’s financial
goals and objectives will be met. As the client’s financial situation, goals, objectives, or
needs change, the client must notify Locker Financial promptly.
In performing services, Locker Financial shall not be required to verify any information
received from the client or from the client’s other professional advisors (e.g., attorney,
accountant, etc.) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information as presented.
If requested by the client, Locker Financial may recommend the services of other
professionals for implementation purposes. The client is under no obligation to engage
the services of any such recommended professional. The client retains absolute
discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any
recommendation from Locker Financial. If a client engages any such recommended
professional, and a dispute arises thereafter relative to such engagement, the client
agrees to seek recourse exclusively from and against the engaged professional. It
remains the client’s responsibility to promptly notify Locker Financial if there is ever any
change in the client’s financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of
reviewing/evaluating/revising Locker Financial's previous recommendations and/or
services. Locker Financial does not receive referral fees for providing such
recommendations to clients.
Investment Management
Upon completion of the initial financial planning services, the client may engage Locker
Financial to provide both ongoing financial planning and investment management on a
fee-only basis. The scope of the ongoing annual financial planning and/or related
consultation services to be rendered by Locker Financial as part of the annual fee is
generally intended to be limited to reviewing/evaluating/revising Locker Financial’s
previous recommendations and/or services relative to a change in the client’s financial
situation and/or investment objectives.
Subject to any written guidelines which the client may provide, Locker Financial will be
granted discretion and authority to manage the account. Accordingly, Locker Financial
is authorized to perform various functions, at the client’s expense, without further
approval from the client. Such functions include making all investment decisions on the
(a) securities purchased/sold and (b) the amount of securities to be purchased/sold.
Locker Financial Services, LLC | Item 4 – Advisory Business 2
FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC
January 1, 2026
Once the portfolio is constructed, Locker Financial provides ongoing supervision and re-
balancing of the portfolio as changes in market conditions and client circumstances may
require.
Locker Financial primarily allocates the investment management assets of its client
accounts among various mutual fund classes, (and to a much lesser extent, among
various individual debt and equity securities), on a discretionary basis, in accordance
with the investment objectives of the client. Unless the client directs otherwise, Locker
Financial shall primarily recommend that all investment management accounts be
maintained at Charles Schwab and Co., Inc. (“Schwab”).
After consultation with Locker Financial, clients may impose restrictions on investing in
certain securities or types of securities. Other restrictions may be imposed by clients
with respect to the (average or longest) maturity or credit quality of fixed income
investments. In either case, all restrictions must be in writing.
Retirement Rollovers-No Obligation/Conflict of Interest: A client leaving an employer
typically has four options (and may engage in a combination of these options): 1) leave
the money in his/her former employer’s plan, if permitted, 2) roll over the assets to
his/her new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, 3) rollover to
an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), or 4) cash out the account value (which could,
depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences).
Locker Financial may recommend an investor roll over plan assets to an IRA managed
by Locker Financial. As a result, Locker Financial may earn an asset-based fee;
however, a recommendation that a client or prospective client leave their plan assets
with their old employer will result in no compensation. Locker Financial has an
economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets into an IRA that Locker
Financial will manage.
There are various factors that Locker Financial may consider before recommending a
rollover, including but not limited to: i) the investment options available in the plan
versus the investment options available in an IRA, ii) fees and expenses in the plan
versus the fees and expenses in an IRA, iii) the services and responsiveness of the
plan’s investment professionals versus those of Locker Financial, iv) required minimum
distributions and age considerations, and vi) employer stock tax consequences, if any.
No client is under any obligation to roll over plan assets to an IRA managed by Locker
Financial.
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money
creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that
requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interests ahead of yours.
Locker Financial Services, LLC | Item 4 – Advisory Business 3
FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC
January 1, 2026
Under this special rule’s provisions, we must:
• Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations
(give prudent advice);
• Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations
(give loyal advice);
• Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
• Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in
your best interest;
• Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
• Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
Educational seminars/workshops
Ms. Locker and Mr. Chan and their staff are available to speak on a variety of financial
topics, including retirement and elder care planning. The presentation can be tailored to
the specific needs of the audience. There is no charge for this service.
Trade Error Policy
Any losses that occur in client accounts as the result of trade errors made by Locker
Financial Services will be reimbursed by either Locker Financial or the custodian,
depending on the dollar amount.
Client Obligations
In performing its services, Locker Financial is not required to verify any information
received from the client or from the client’s other professionals. Moreover, each client is
advised that it remains his or her responsibility to promptly notify Locker Financial if
there is ever any change in the client’s financial situation or investment objectives
during the client engagement.
Disclosure Statement
A copy of Locker Financial’s written brochure as set forth on Part 2 of Form ADV shall
be provided to each client prior to, or at the same time as, the execution of an
Investment Advisory Agreement. Any client who has not received a copy of Locker
Financial’s written brochure at least 48 hours prior to executing an Investment Advisory
Agreement shall have five business days subsequent to executing the agreement to
terminate Locker Financial’s services without penalty.

Non-Participation in Wrap Fee Programs
Locker Financial, as a matter of policy and practice, does not sponsor any wrap fee
program. A wrap fee program is defined as any advisory program under which a
specified fee or fees not based directly upon transactions in a client’s account is
charged for investment supervisory services (which may include portfolio management
or advice concerning the selection of other investment advisers) and the execution of
client transactions.
Amount of Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, Locker Financial had $213,787,195 in assets under
management on a discretionary basis and no assets under management on a
nondiscretionary basis.
Our Policy on Class Action Lawsuits
From time to time, securities held in the accounts of clients may be the subject of class
action lawsuits. Locker Financial has no obligation to determine if securities held by the
client are subject to a pending or resolved class action lawsuit. It also has no duty to
evaluate a client’s eligibility or to submit a claim to participate in the proceeds of a
securities class action settlement or verdict. Furthermore, Locker Financial has no
obligation or responsibility to initiate litigation to recover damages on behalf of clients
who may have been injured as a result of actions, misconduct, or negligence by
corporate management of issuers whose securities are held by clients.
Where Locker Financial receives written or electronic notice of a class action lawsuit,
settlement, or verdict affecting securities owned by a client, it will forward all notices,
proof of claim forms, and other materials to the client. Electronic mail is acceptable
where appropriate if the client has authorized contact in this manner.

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Locker Financial believes that the charges and fees offered are competitive with
alternative programs available through other firms that may offer a similar range of
services; however, lower fees for comparable services may be available from other
sources.
Financial Planning and Consulting
Locker Financial develops financial plans for individuals and families. Once a client’s
unique financial planning goals have been identified, LFS will provide the client with an
estimate of the cost of preparing an integrated financial plan. Fees generally range
from $3,600 to $7,000 depending on the presentation model chosen and the complexity
of the plan, based on the current hourly rate of $350. It requires a 50% deposit prior to
work beginning with the balance due upon completion of the plan. Either party may
terminate the agreement by written notice to the other. In the event the client terminates
Locker Financial’s financial planning and/or consulting services, the balance of Locker
Financial’s unearned fees (if any) shall be refunded to the client. If termination occurs
within five business days of entering into an agreement for such services, the client
shall be entitled to a full refund.
Locker Financial may provide financial planning and consulting services (including
investment and non-investment related matters) on a stand-alone, fee basis to existing
clients for whom a financial plan has already been developed. Locker Financial will
charge an hourly fee of $350 for these services.
Clients may act on Locker Financial’s recommendations by placing securities
transactions with any brokerage firm the client chooses. The client is under no
obligation to act on Locker Financial’s financial planning recommendations. Moreover, if
the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the client is under no obligation
to implement the financial plan through Locker Financial’s management.
As further discussed in Item 7, Locker Financial generally imposes a minimum financial
planning fee. Locker Financial, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to waive its stated
fee based upon certain criteria (i.e., related accounts, account composition, pre-existing
client, account retention, pro bono activities, etc.).
Investment Management
In the event the client hires Locker Financial to provide investment management
services, Locker Financial shall do so on a fee-only basis. If engaged, Locker Financial
shall charge an annual fee based upon a percentage of the market value of the assets
being managed by Locker Financial or on an annual retainer basis. The AUM fee
schedule is 1.0% for the first $1 million of assets, 0.80% for the second million and
0.75% for assets above $2 million. Locker Financial’s annual fee shall be prorated and
charged quarterly, in arrears, based upon the market value of the assets on the last
business day of the previous quarter. For the initial quarter of investment management
services, the first quarter’s fees shall be calculated on a pro rata basis.
Locker Financial Services, LLC | Item 5 – Fees and Compensation 6
FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC
January 1, 2026
The annual fee for investment management services provided are based upon a
percentage (%) of the market value of the assets under management in accordance
with the fee schedule in the Agreement signed by the client. The client understands
that Locker Financial considers cash to be an asset class and part of assets under
management and subject to the same fee calculation as the client’s non-cash
investments.
Clients may elect to have payment for management fees deducted from their custodial
account. Both the Investment Advisory Agreement and the custodial/clearing
agreement may authorize the custodian to debit the account for the amount of Locker
Financial’s advisory fee and to directly pay that management fee to Locker Financial.
Locker Financial will not have access to client funds for payment of fees without client
consent in writing. Further, the qualified custodian agrees to deliver a quarterly account
statement directly to the client showing all disbursements from the account. The client is
encouraged to review their account statements for accuracy. Locker Financial will
receive a duplicate copy of the statement that was delivered to the client.
Alternatively, Locker Financial may invoice clients directly for portfolio management
fees. When clients are billed directly, payment is due upon receipt of Locker Financial’s
invoice.
Locker Financial also uses the services of AdvicePay. AdvicePay allows both financial
planning and portfolio management fees to be paid with credit card or ACH. Portfolio
management clients using this service will be billed directly, rather than those who are
debited from their Schwab accounts. Locker Financial does not have access to client
funds when using this service, except for the amount authorized by the client.
As further discussed in Item 7, Locker Financial generally imposes a minimum portfolio
fee for its investment management services. Locker Financial, in its sole discretion, may
negotiate to waive its stated account fee or charge a lesser management fee based
upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future
additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account
composition, pre-existing client, account retention, pro bono activities, etc.).
General Information Regarding Advisory Services and Fees
Locker Financial does not represent, warrant, or imply that the services or methods of
analysis used by Locker Financial can or will predict future results, successfully identify
market tops or bottoms, or insulate clients from losses due to market corrections.
Advice offered by Locker Financial may involve investments in mutual funds and
exchange traded funds (ETFs). Clients are hereby advised that all fees paid to Locker
Financial for investment supervisory services are separate and distinct from the fees
and expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, as described in
each fund’s prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee and other
fund expenses. Further, transaction charges may be applicable when purchasing and
selling securities. Locker Financial does not share in any portion of the brokerage fees
and/or transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer/custodian holding the client
Locker Financial Services, LLC | Item 5 – Fees and Compensation 7
FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC
January 1, 2026
funds or securities. Clients should review all fees charged by mutual funds and ETFs,
Locker Financial, and others to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by
the client.
Clients may also incur “account termination fees” upon the transfer of an account from
one brokerage firm (broker-dealer/custodian) to another. The range for these account
termination fees is believed to be $0 to $200 at present, but at times may be much
higher. Clients should contact their custodians (brokerage firms, bank or trust company,
etc.) to determine the amount of account termination fees that may be charged and
deducted from their accounts for any existing accounts that may be transferred.
Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to the firm’s fee,
and the firm does not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that the firm considers in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the
reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions).
The vast majority of clients pay Locker Financial’s fees based upon a percentage of the
assets advised upon. This is a very common form of compensation for registered
investment supervisory firms and avoids the multiple inherent conflicts of interest
associated with commission-based compensation (Locker Financial does not accept
commission-based compensation of any nature, nor does Locker Financial accept 12b-
1 fees).
The asset under management percentage method of compensation can still at times
lead to conflicts of interest between our firm and our client as to the advice we provide.
For example, conflicts of interest may arise relating to the following financial decisions in
life: incur or pay down debt; gift funds to charities or to individuals; purchases of a
(larger) home or cars or other non-investment assets; the purchase of a lifetime
immediate annuity; expenditures of funds for travel or other activities; investment in
private equity investments (private real estate ventures, closely held businesses, etc.),
and the amount of funds to place in non-managed cash reserve accounts. Locker
Financial’s goal is to always put the client’s best interest first in these situations,
disregarding any impact of the decision upon Locker Financial.
Termination
The client may terminate any new agreement without penalty by providing written notice
of such cancellation to Locker Financial within five (5) business days of the date of
signing the agreement. Thereafter, either party may terminate the agreement in
accordance with the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Upon termination of
any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, with the refund
calculations based pro rata to the date of termination. Upon the termination of the
agreement, Locker Financial will not possess any obligation to recommend or take any
action with regard to the securities, cash, or other investments in a client’s account.

Locker Financial believes that the charges and fees offered within its program are
competitive with alternative programs available through other firms offering similar
services; however, lower fees for comparable services may be available from other
sources. A client could invest in mutual funds directly without the services of Locker
Financial. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by Locker
Financial, which are designed, at minimum, to assist the client in determining which
investments are most appropriate to each client’s financial condition and objectives,
undertaking a disciplined approach to portfolio rebalancing while understanding the tax
ramifications of same and avoiding ad hoc emotional reactions to shorter-term market
events. Locker Financial’s investment advisory services also address financial
situations specific and unique to each client’s goals, objectives and risk tolerance.
Some of the funds used by the firm may not be available to the client directly without the
use of an investment adviser that has been granted access to such funds.
Locker Financial’s relationship with each client is non-exclusive; in other words, Locker
Financial provides investment supervisory services and financial planning services to
multiple clients. Locker Financial seeks to avoid situations in which one client’s interest
may conflict with the interest of another of its clients.

Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Item 6 is not applicable to Locker Financial. Locker Financial does not charge any
performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital
appreciation of the assets of a client). Such acceptance or management would pose a
significant conflict of interest to our clients because performance-based fees may
provide an incentive to favor such accounts over the accounts of clients under our other
advisory programs. Avoidance of such conflicts is of paramount importance in
maintaining Locker Financial’s fiduciary responsibility to each of our clients.

Item 7 – Types of Clients
Locker Financial offers personalized services to individuals. Occasionally, we also

Required Minimum Client Fees
Locker Financial may require a minimum annual fee of $2,000. Locker Financial, in its
sole discretion, may charge a lesser fee, or choose to reduce or waive the minimum fee,
based upon certain criteria (i.e. pre-existing financial planning client, anticipated future
earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be
managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with client, and pro bono
activities.).
Locker Financial does not require a minimum account size.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Before designing investment plans for clients, Locker Financial will evaluate the
client’s investments to determine whether the client’s goals harmonize with the client’s
financial objectives. In designing investment plans for clients, Locker Financial relies
upon the information supplied by the client and the client’s other professional advisors.
Such information may pertain to the client’s financial situation, estate planning, tax
planning, risk management, short-term and long-term lifetime financial goals and
objectives, investment time horizon, and perceived current tolerance for risk. Locker
Financial will design and propose a portfolio to help clients attain their individual
financial goals.
This information will become the basis for the strategic asset allocation plan that Locker
Financial believes will best meet the client’s stated long-term personal financial goals.
The strategic asset allocation provides for investments in those asset classes that
Locker Financial believes will possess attractive combinations of return, risk, and
correlation over the long term.
When Locker Financial invests client assets, asset allocation techniques are used which
include stocks and bonds of varying characteristics and from both the United States and
foreign markets. Locker Financial invests for the long term and expects that not all
investments in a given portfolio will perform in unison with other assets in the same
portfolio. Locker Financial manages money for the clients’ downside protection, not
upside gain. Locker Financial does not systematically re-balance the portfolio on a
regular basis but monitors each portfolio’s asset allocation to make adjustments where
appropriate. Locker Financial’s portfolio management decisions are made considering
only the assets being managed and not with regard to other investments the client may
hold.
Locker Financial determines the suitability of the investments based on the client’s risk
tolerance and the financial plan prepared.
Client risk tolerance and portfolio design are determined using the information
discussed during each client session, but at least annually. This information is used as
the target when reviewing and rebalancing the portfolio each quarter. When
rebalancing, Locker Financial will consider other factors such as cash needs, trade size,
cost of the trade, and tax consequences.
Locker Financial may also provide advice on any type of investment held in a client’s
portfolio at the inception of the advisory relationship. Locker Financial will explore other
investment options at the client’s request. Additionally, Locker Financial reserves the
right to advise clients on any other type of investment that it deems appropriate based
on the client’s stated goals and objectives.

Locker Financial may utilize fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis is performed
on historical and present data, with the goal of making financial forecasts. The main
sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, research materials
prepared by others, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses, filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, and company press releases.
Other sources that the firm may use include Morningstar fund information (including
mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, annuities), Morningstar stock information, Y
Charts, Value Line Investment services, and the worldwide web.
Investment Strategies
The primary investment strategy used on client accounts is asset allocation based on
Modern Portfolio Theory. Locker Financial develops a diversified investment portfolio by
mixing different assets in varying proportions depending on the client and current
economic climate. The primary purpose of Asset Allocation is to reduce the risk in the
portfolio, while maintaining or enhancing the rate of return of the portfolio. Portfolios are
globally diversified to control the risk associated with traditional markets.
Investment strategies are generally long term in nature, depending upon the stated
individual needs of the client. Locker Financial’s general investment strategy may be
both conservative and long range or may follow a strategy that is guided by the client’s
wishes. Locker Financial generally provides advisory services for portfolios ranging from
conservative to moderately aggressive, each designed to meet the needs of the clients.
Locker Financial generally does not engage in short-term trading except where an
investment is sold at the request of the client or because the purpose for the holding is
no longer applicable.
Each client receives investment advice regarding their portfolio based on his or her:
Income Needs
•
• Time Horizon
• Risk Tolerance
• Expected Rate of Return
• Asset Class Preferences
The investment vehicles used to invest in the various asset classes are mutual funds,
exchange traded funds (ETFs), individual stocks and bonds as well as the securities
components of variable annuities. Locker Financial does not recommend the use of
variable annuities, but if a client comes to the firm with a variable annuity already in
place, the firm will work with the client to include this vehicle in the overall
recommendations.

The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the
client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time.
Other strategies may include long-term purchases and short-term purchases.
Locker Financial’s methods of analysis and investment strategies do not present any
significant or unusual risks.
However, every method of analysis has its own inherent risks. To perform an accurate
market analysis Locker Financial must have access to current/new market information.
Locker Financial has no control over the distribution rate of market information. An
accurate market analysis can only produce a forecast of the direction of market values.
There can be no assurances that a forecasted change in market value will materialize
into actionable and/or profitable investment opportunities.
Locker Financial’s primary investment strategies - Long-term Purchases and Short-term
Term Purchases - are fundamental investment strategies. However, every investment
strategy has its own inherent risks and limitations. For example, longer term investment
strategies require a longer investment time period to allow for the strategy to potentially
develop. Shorter term investment strategies require a shorter investment time period to
potentially develop but, as a result of more frequent trading, may incur higher
transactional costs when compared to a longer-term investment strategy.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
Locker Financial’s investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind.
Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and the client should not
assume that the future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy
(including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended by Locker
Financial) will be profitable or equal to any specific performance level(s). Investors face
the following investment risks:
Interest-rate Risk: The risk that investment returns will be affected by changes in the
level of interest rates. When interest rates increase, the prices and values of bonds
decrease. When interest rates decrease, the prices and values of bonds increase.

FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC
January 1, 2026
Market Risk: The risk that investment returns will be affected by changes in the overall
level of the stock market. When the stock market as a whole increases or decreases;
virtually all stocks are affected to some degree.
Reinvestment Rate Risk: The risk incurred when an investment’s income is reinvested
at a lower rate than the rate that existed at the time the original investment was made.
This risk is most prevalent when interest rates fall.
Purchasing Power Risk (Inflation Risk): The risk that inflation will affect the return of an
investment in real dollars. In other words, the amount of goods that one dollar will
purchase decreases with time. Investments that have low returns, such as savings
accounts, are not likely to keep up with inflation. Investments with fixed returns, such as
bonds, will decrease in value because their purchasing value will decrease with
inflation.
Business Risk: The risk associated with a particular industry or firm. These are factors
that affect the industry or firm, but do not affect the whole market. They include
government regulations, management competency, or local or regional economic
factors.
Financial Risk: The risk associated with the mix of debt and equity used to finance a
firm. The greater the financial leverage, the greater the financial risk.
Currency Risk (Exchange Rate Risk): The risk that a change in the value of a foreign
currency relative to the U.S. dollar will negatively affect a U.S. investor’s return.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash.
Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized
product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are
not.
In general, cash equivalents provide liquidity with minimum income and a return of
principal with no capital appreciation. Cash equivalents are, however, subject to
purchasing power risk.
Fixed-income investments provide current income. Usually, the longer the maturity of
the security, the higher the income it will generate. Also, with longer maturities, fixed-
income investments will have greater price volatility and greater opportunity for capital
gains or capital losses. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate risk,
reinvestment rate risk, and purchasing power risk. In addition, foreign bonds would be
subject to currency rate risk, and junk bonds would be subject to business risk and
financial risk.
The return of principal for bond funds and funds with significant underlying bond
holdings is not guaranteed. Mutual fund shares are subject to the same interest rate,
inflation and credit risks associated with the underlying bond holdings. Lower-rated
bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and
principal than higher-rated bonds.

FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC

Equity investments are subject to greater volatility, thus providing a greater opportunity
for capital gains, and a greater opportunity for capital losses. Equity investments offer
little or no current income. Equity investments are subject to market risk and interest
rate risk, while providing an opportunity to protect against purchasing power risk. Also,
stock mutual funds, rather than individual equities, may limit the exposure to business
risk and financial risk.
Investing outside the United States involves additional risks, such as currency
fluctuations, periods of illiquidity and price volatility. These risks may be heightened in
connection with investments in developing countries. Small-company stocks entail
additional risks, and they can fluctuate in price more than larger company stocks. When
recommending the use of small-company stocks, Locker Financial works with the
overall aggregation of the individual portfolio based on the client’s risk tolerance and not
on a minimum market capitalization threshold.
Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or
any other entity, so they may lose value.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics
Locker Financial has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm
describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The
Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a
prohibition on insider trading, and personal securities trading procedures, among other
things. All supervised persons at Locker Financial must acknowledge the terms of the
Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Locker Financial anticipates that it may recommend to clients or prospective clients the
purchase or sale of securities in which Locker Financial, its affiliates and/or clients,
directly or indirectly, has a position of interest. Locker Financial’s employees and
persons associated with Locker Financial are required to follow Locker Financial’s Code
of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and
employees of Locker Financial and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in
securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Locker Financial’ clients.
The code of ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions,
activities and interests of the employees of Locker Financial will not interfere with (i)
making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such
decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts.
Under the Code certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt
transactions, based upon a determination that these would not significantly interfere
with the best interests of Locker Financial’s clients. In addition, the Code restricts
trading in close proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of
Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities
as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a
client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored
under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between
Locker Financial and its clients.
Locker Financial’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm’s Code
of Ethics by contacting Andrew Chan.
It is Locker Financial’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross
securities transactions for client accounts. Locker Financial will also not cross trades
between client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions
where an adviser, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated
broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. A principal
transaction may also be deemed to have occurred if a security is crossed between an
affiliated hedge fund and another client account. An agency cross transaction is defined
as a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction
in which the investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control
with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and for another
person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where
an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an affiliated broker-dealer.

Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
In the event the client requests that Locker Financial recommend a broker
dealer/custodian for execution and/or custodial services (exclusive of those clients that
may direct Locker Financial to use a specific broker-dealer/custodian), Locker Financial
generally recommends Schwab. Prior to engaging Locker Financial to provide
investment management services, the client will be required to enter into a formal
Investment Advisory Agreement with Locker Financial setting forth the terms and
conditions under which Locker Financial shall manage the client’s assets, and a
separate custodial/clearing agreement with each designated broker-dealer/custodian.
Factors that Locker Financial considers in recommending Schwab (or any other broker-
dealer/custodian to clients) include historical relationship with Locker Financial, financial
strength, reputation, execution capabilities, pricing, research, and service. Although the
commissions and/or transaction fees paid by Locker Financial’s clients shall comply with
Locker Financial’s duty to obtain best execution, a client may pay a commission that is
higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to affect the same transaction.
If this occurs, it is because Locker Financial determines, in good faith, that the
commission/transaction fee is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and
research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not
the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative
execution, taking into consideration the full range of broker-dealer services, including
the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and
responsiveness. Accordingly, although Locker Financial will seek competitive rates, it
may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission or transaction rates for
client account transactions. The brokerage commissions or transaction fees charged by
the designated broker-dealer/custodian are exclusive of, and in addition to, Locker
Financial investment management fee. Locker Financial’s best execution responsibility
is qualified if securities that it purchases for client accounts are mutual funds that trade
at net asset value as determined at the daily market close.
Research and Additional Benefits
Locker Financial may receive support services and/or products from Schwab (or
another broker-dealer/custodian) without cost (and/or at a discount), certain of which
assist Locker Financial to better monitor and serve client accounts maintained at such
institutions. Included within the support services that may be obtained by Locker
Financial may be investment-related research, pricing information and market data,
software and other technology that provide access to client account data, compliance
and/or practice management-related publications, discounted or gratis consulting
services, discounted and/or gratis attendance at conferences, meetings, and other
educational and/or social events, marketing support, computer hardware and/or
software and/or other products used by Locker Financial in furtherance of its investment
supervisory business operations. The receipt of these services should not be construed
as an influencing factor in Locker Financial’s yearly Best Execution review.
Locker Financial Services, LLC | Item 12 – Brokerage Practices 20
FORM ADV PART 2A (“FIRM BROCHURE”)
FOR LOCKER FINANCIAL SERVICES, LLC
January 1, 2026
As indicated above, certain support services and/or products that may be received may
assist Locker Financial in managing and administering client accounts. Others do not
directly provide such assistance, but rather assist Locker Financial to manage and
further develop its business enterprise. However, Locker Financial does not pay for the
services, research or products provided by the selected broker-dealer and may be
incentivized to select a broker-dealer based on those interests rather than the client's.
Locker Financial’s clients do not pay more for investment transactions affected and/or
assets maintained at Schwab as a result of this arrangement. There is no corresponding
commitment made by Locker Financial to Schwab or any other entity to invest any
specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or
other investment products as a result of the above arrangement. However, Locker
Financial does receive a benefit from the services received because it doesn’t have to
produce or pay for the research, products, or services. Locker Financial may have the
incentive to select or recommend a broker-dealer based on receiving the research or
other products or services rather than on the client’s interest in receiving the most
favorable execution.
Locker Financial’s Chief Compliance Officer, Andrew Chan, is available to address any
questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above arrangement
and any corresponding perceived conflict of interest such arrangement may create.
Aggregation of Client Trades
To the extent that Locker Financial provides investment management services to its
clients, the transactions for each client account generally will be affected independently
unless Locker Financial decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several
clients at approximately the same time. Locker Financial may (but is not obligated to)
combine or “bunch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favorable
commission rates or to allocate equitably among Locker Financial’s clients differences
in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might have been obtained had
such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will be
averaged as to price and will be allocated among clients in proportion to the purchase
and sale orders placed for each client account on any given day. Locker Financial shall
not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of such
aggregation.
Locker Financial employees are not registered representatives of Schwab or any other
custodian/broker-dealer and do not receive any commissions or fees from
recommending these services.
Directed Brokerage
Locker Financial does not have brokerage discretion and does not direct brokerage for
specific client transactions.

Item 13 – Review of Accounts
For those clients to whom Locker Financial provides investment management
supervisory services, account reviews are conducted on an ongoing basis by Locker
Financial’s Managing Members, Lauren Locker and/or Andrew Chan. All investment
supervisory clients should understand that it remains their responsibility to advise
Locker Financial in writing of any changes in the client’s investment objectives and/or
financial situation, or if the client wishes to impose any reasonable restrictions on
Locker Financial’s discretionary management services. All clients are encouraged to
make an appointment to review investment objectives and account performance with
Locker Financial on an annual basis.
Locker Financial may conduct other-than-periodic reviews upon the occurrence of a
triggering event such as a market correction, large deposits or withdrawals from an
account, substantial changes in the value of a client’s portfolio, or a change in the
client’s investment objectives and client request.
Reports to Clients
The account custodian provides trade confirmation and monthly statements directly to
clients. Locker Financial’s investment advisory clients will generally receive
performance reports and an inventory of account holdings on a quarterly basis.
Additional reports are available and will be provided on request.

benefit from Schwab. Locker Financial, without cost (and/or at a discount), may receive
support services and/or products from Schwab.
Locker Financial clients do not pay more for investment transactions placed and/or
assets maintained at Schwab as a result of this arrangement. There is no
corresponding commitment made by Locker Financial to Schwab or any other entity to
invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds,

Item 15 – Custody
It is Locker Financial’s policy to not accept physical custody of a client’s securities. In
other words, Locker Financial is not granted access to a client’s accounts that would
enable Locker Financial to withdraw or transfer or otherwise move funds or cash from
any client account to Locker Financial’s accounts or the account of any third party (other
than for purposes of fee deductions, as explained below). This is for the safety of the
clients’ assets.
However, with a client’s consent, Locker Financial may be provided with the authority to
seek deduction of Locker Financial’s advisory fee from a client’s accounts. When the
firm seeks authority to deduct fees directly from a client’s account, Locker Financial
receives written authorization from the client to deduct advisory fees from the account
held with the qualified custodian; and sends the qualified custodian and client an invoice
of the amount of the fee to be deducted from the client’s account each time a fee is
directly deducted. The account custodian does not verify the accuracy of Locker
Financial’s advisory fee calculation.
All of Locker Financial’s clients receive account statements directly from qualified
custodians, such as a bank or broker dealer that maintains those assets. The client
should carefully review these account statements and compare them to the reports
provided by Locker Financial. Statements provided by Locker Financial may vary from
custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation
methodologies of certain securities. Locker Financial urges all of clients to compare
statements in order to ensure that all account transactions remain proper, including
deductions to pay advisory fees, and to contact Andrew Chan, Chief Compliance
Officer, with any questions.

Item 16 – Investment Discretion
At the outset of the advisory relationship Locker Financial usually receives discretionary
authority from the client to select the identity and number of securities to be bought or
sold. Prior to Locker Financial assuming discretionary authority over a client’s account,
the client shall be required to execute an Investment Advisory Agreement, granting
Locker Financial authority to buy, sell, or otherwise effect investment transactions. In
addition, any investment discretion is obtained in writing through a limited power of
attorney signed by the client as part of their contract with Locker Financial and their
application with the custodian. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised
in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client
account.
Discretionary authority allows Locker Financial to perform trades in the client’s account
without further approval from the client. This includes decisions on the following:
• Securities purchased or sold
• The number of securities to be purchased or sold
Once the portfolio is constructed, Locker Financial provides ongoing supervision and re-
balancing of the portfolio as changes in market conditions and client circumstances may
require.
Locker Financial seeks to undertake a minimal amount of trading in client accounts, in
order to keep transaction fees, other expenses, and tax consequences associated with
trading to minimal levels.
Clients who engage Locker Financial on a discretionary basis may, at any time, impose
restrictions, in writing, on Locker Financial’s discretionary authority (i.e., limit the
types/amounts of particular securities purchased for their account, exclude the ability to
purchase securities with an inverse relationship to the market, limit or proscribe Locker
Financial’s use of margin, etc.).
Some clients may choose to engage Locker Financial to manage securities on a non-
discretionary basis. If Locker Financial receives non-discretionary authority from the
client, we will select the identity and number of securities to be bought or sold but must
receive approval from the client prior to placing any trades in the client’s account. This
may result in delays that may affect the ultimate outcome of the transaction.
