The Advisor is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. Tony DuBose is Legacy Wealth Management, Inc.’s Managing Principal and indirect owner. The Firm provides advisory services that are tailored to its clients’ specific situations by following a disciplined consultative process. The Advisor analyzes and assesses each client’s current situation and determines recommendations for them on how to proceed in investing to meet their goals. Advisory services include portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting services. This Brochure provides information about the Advisor and its advisory services. The Advisor provides information in separate disclosure brochures for its services offered through the Legacy Managed Portfolio II and Legacy Managed Portfolio III programs. The Legacy Managed Portfolio II and Legacy Managed Portfolio III program services are similar to the services the Advisor provides in the Legacy Managed Portfolio I account, in that the Advisor provides investment advice and management to the client. Under the Legacy Managed Portfolio II program, the broker-dealer custodian’s execution and transaction charges are included in the advisory fee. The Legacy Managed Portfolio III program services are like the services the Advisor provides in the Separately Managed Account program described herein, in that the Advisor provides investment advice in connection with the selection of third-party professional portfolio management firms for the individual management of client accounts. Under the Separately Managed Account program, the broker-dealer custodian’s execution and transaction charges are included in the advisory fee, whereas the Advisor pays the transactions charges. This could create a potential conflict of interest for the Advisor, as the Advisor could earn more in fees by selecting one program over another. The Advisor mitigates this conflict by providing advice that is in the best interest of the client. If a client would like more information on either of these programs, the client should contact their investment advisor representative (“IAR”) for a copy of the Wrap Fee Program Brochure that describes the respective program or go to www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.The Advisor provides advisory services for the following types of investments: equity securities, warrants, options, debt securities, real estate investment trusts (“REIT”), mutual funds, closed end funds, exchange traded funds (“ETF”), exchange traded notes (“ETN”), unit investment trusts, private placements, limited partnerships, structured products, alternative investments, certificates of deposit (“CD”), master limited partnerships (“MLP”), annuities, and life insurance contracts. Legacy Managed Portfolio I Program The Advisor provides ongoing investment advice and management of customized client portfolios on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis according to each client’s investment objective and financial situation. If a client selects non-discretionary investment management, LWM Advisory Services will not purchase or sell a security in their account without first obtaining the client’s authority to do so. 1 Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. 3 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 The Advisor’s advice is tailored to the individual needs of the client based on the client’s investment objectives. A client’s Investment Policy Statement may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or groups of securities, or a client may impose such restrictions by indicating any restrictions in the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor will conduct regular portfolio, investment, and planning reviews to help ensure a client’s financial objectives are consistent with the client’s investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2024, the Advisor managed $661,673,731 in client assets on a discretionary basis and $176,175,479 on a non-discretionary basis. The Advisor also manages $138,542,533 in client assets under advisement. If a client chooses to engage the Advisor’s services, the client will enter into a written Investment Advisory Agreement and be charged an advisory fee for the Advisor’s services. The client is charged separate fees for brokerage and execution services provided by the broker-dealer maintaining custody of the client’s account. Separately Managed Accounts The Advisor provides clients with a list of investment advisory services of recommended third-party professional portfolio management firms for the individual management of client accounts. As part of this process, the Advisor assists clients in identifying an appropriate third-party money manager. The Advisor provides initial due diligence on third party money managers and ongoing reviews of their management of clients’ accounts. In order to assist a client in the selection of a third-party money manager, the Advisor typically gathers information from the client about their financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions they can impose on the management of the account, which are often very limited. It is important to note that the Advisor does not offer advice on any specific securities or other investments in connection with this service. Investment advice and trading of securities is only offered by or through the third-party money managers to clients. The Advisor periodically reviews third party money managers’ reports provided to the client, but no less often than on an annual basis. The Advisor’s IARs may contact a client from time to time, as agreed to with the client, in order to review their financial situation and objectives; communicate information to third party money managers as warranted; and assist the client in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the third-party money manager. The client will be expected to notify us of any changes in his/her financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions that could affect their account. The client may also directly contact the third-party money manager managing the account or sponsoring the program. Portfolio Management Services through LPL Financial When appropriate the Advisor has the ability to provide advisory services through certain programs sponsored by LPL Financial (“LPL”). Below is a brief description of each LPL advisory program available to us. Annualized fees for participation in LPL advisory programs vary up to maximum of 2.50%. For more information regarding the LPL programs, including more information on the advisory services and fees that apply, the types of investments available in the programs and the potential conflicts of interest presented by the programs please see the LPL Financial Form ADV Part 2 or the applicable LPL program’s Wrap Fee Program Brochure and the applicable LPL Financial client agreement. 4 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 Manager Access Select Program (“MAS”) MAS provides clients access to the investment advisory services of professional portfolio management firms for the individual management of client accounts. The Advisor will assist clients in identifying a third-party portfolio manager (Portfolio Manager) from a list of Portfolio Managers made available by LPL Financial. The Portfolio Manager manages client’s assets on a discretionary basis. The Advisor will provide initial and ongoing assistance regarding the Portfolio Manager selection process. A minimum account value of $100,000 is required for Manager Access Select, however, in certain instances, the minimum account size may be lower or higher. The Advisor has the ability and does execute exchanges among the MAS Portfolio Managers. Optimum Market Portfolios Program (“OMP”) OMP offers clients the ability to participate in a professionally managed asset allocation program using Optimum Funds Class I shares. Under OMP, the client will authorize LPL on a discretionary basis to purchase and sell Optimum Funds pursuant to investment objectives chosen by the client. The Advisor will assist the client in determining the suitability of OMP for the client and assist the client in setting an appropriate investment objective. The Advisor will have discretion to select a mutual fund asset allocation portfolio designed by LPL consistent with the client’s investment objective. LPL will have discretion to purchase and sell Optimum Funds pursuant to the portfolio selected for the client. LPL will also have authority to rebalance the account. A minimum account value of $10,000 is required for OMP. Model Wealth Portfolios Program (“MWP”) MWP offers clients a professionally managed mutual fund asset allocation program. The Advisor will obtain the necessary financial data from the client, assist the client in determining the suitability of the MWP program and assist the client in setting an appropriate investment objective. The Advisor initiates the steps necessary to open an MWP account and have discretion to select a model portfolio designed by LPL’s Research Department consistent with the client’s stated investment objective. LPL’s Research Department is responsible for selecting the mutual funds within a model portfolio and for making changes to the mutual funds selected. The client will authorize LPL to act on a discretionary basis to purchase and sell mutual funds, including in certain circumstances exchange traded funds and to liquidate previously purchased securities. The client will also authorize LPL to effect rebalancing for MWP accounts. The MWP program may make available model portfolios designed by strategists other than LPL’s Research Department. If such models are made available, the Advisor will have discretion to choose among the available models designed by LPL and outside strategists. A minimum account value of $25,000 is required for MWP. Personal Wealth Portfolios Program (“PWP”) PWP offers clients an asset management account using asset allocation model portfolios designed by LPL Financial. The Advisor will have discretion for selecting the asset allocation model portfolio based on the client’s investment objective. The Advisor will also have discretion for selecting third party money managers (PWP advisors) or mutual funds within each asset class of the model portfolio. 5 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 LPL Financial will act as the overlay portfolio manager on all PWP accounts and will be authorized to purchase and sell on a discretionary basis mutual funds, equity, and fixed income securities. A minimum account value of $250,000 is required for PWP. Guided Wealth Portfolios Program (“GWP”) The Advisor makes the GWP program sponsored by LPL Financial (“LPL”) and Future Advisor, Inc. available to clients. The GWP program is a robo-advisor solution that offers clients the ability to participate in a centrally managed, algorithm-based investment program, through a web-based, interactive account management portal. The GWP program generates investment recommendations through computer algorithms based on the client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance, which the program electronically determines based on the client’s responses to an online questionnaire. The Advisor initiates the steps necessary for a client to open a GWP account, is available to assist the client in completing the online suitability questionnaire upon the client’s request and provides ongoing support with respect to accessing the program. LPL and Future Advisor, Inc. are responsible for selecting the investments within a model portfolio and for making changes to the investments selected. LPL Financial constructs model portfolios and GWP account investment recommendations are based on Future Advisor, Inc.’s proprietary, automated, computer algorithms. LPL and Future Advisor, Inc. will be authorized to purchase and sell on a discretionary basis ETFs and mutual funds. A minimum account value of $5,000 is required for the GWP program. The annualized fee for participation the GWP program is .48%. Information regarding the GWP program, including more information on the advisory services and fees that apply, the types of investments and the potential conflicts of interest presented by the program are set forth in the GWP Wrap Fee Program Brochure and client agreement. Consulting Services The Advisor provides consulting services. The Advisor’s advice considers information collected from the client such as financial status, investment objectives, and tax status, among other data. The Advisor will deliver to the client a written analysis or report as part of its services if requested in the Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement. The Advisor tailors the consulting services to the individual needs of the client based on the client’s investment objectives. The Advisor does not have any discretionary investment authority when offering consulting services. The Advisor will make recommendations as to general types of investment products or securities that may be appropriate for a client to consider and may also provide recommendations regarding specific investments or securities. For consulting services associated with retirement plans, the Advisor’s recommendations will be limited to the investment options available within the client’s retirement plan and other securities that may be available in brokerage windows or other similar plan arrangements that enable participants to select investments beyond those designated by the client’s retirement plan (e.g., mutual funds, exchange traded funds, collective investment trusts, pooled separate accounts, allocations among annuity sub-accounts, publicly traded employer stock (“company stock”)). The Advisor does not provide any advice or recommendations regarding any participant loans from a client’s retirement plan assets. 6 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 The client retains the sole responsibility for determining whether to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor and for placing any resulting transactions. The Advisor does not provide ongoing consulting services and does not have discretionary authority with respect to the client’s assets. A conflict of interest exists between the Advisor and the interests of the client if Consulting Services include recommendations for products or services the Advisor provides. A client is under no obligation to act upon the Advisor’s recommendation. If a client elects to act on any of the Advisor’s recommendations, the client is under no obligation to affect the transaction through the Advisor. Financial Planning The Advisor provides clients with financial planning services to aid them in defining personal financial goals and objectives related to their investment objectives and risk tolerances. Our approach begins by gathering data to analyze a client’s current financial position and define the client’s specific short and long-term financial objectives. The Advisor then develops strategies to achieve those objectives to help the client realize their life goals. The client retains the sole responsibility for determining whether to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor and for placing any resulting transactions. The Advisor does not provide ongoing financial planning services and does not have discretionary authority with respect to the client’s assets unless the client enters into a portfolio management investment advisory agreement with the Advisor. A conflict of interest may exist between the Advisor and the interests of the client if a Financial Plan includes recommendations for products or services the Advisor provides. A client is under no obligation to act upon the Advisor’s recommendation. If a client elects to act on any of the Advisor’s recommendations, the client is under no obligation to affect the transaction through the Advisor. Financial planning differs from Consulting Services in that the Advisor will prepare a financial plan for a client and the term of advisory services will end, whereas consulting services generally do not include the preparation of a financial plan and may be long term in nature. Item 5 Fees and Compensation Legacy Managed Portfolio I Program Investment Advisory Fees Investment advisory fees for portfolio management services are based on the value of assets managed by the Advisor, calculated as a percentage of assets under management. This fee is compensation for advisory services and portfolio management rendered by the Advisor. There is a minimum investment of $100,000, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. The Advisor charges a fee of no more than 2.00% annually for its portfolio management services. The amount of the investment advisory fee will be set out in the Investment Advisory Agreement executed by the client at the time the relationship is established. 7 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 The investment advisory fee is negotiated on a client-by-client basis depending on the size, complexity, and nature of the portfolio managed and will be set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Because the investment advisory fees are negotiated, not all clients will pay the same fees. A client may pay a higher or lower fee depending on considerations such as the size of the client’s account, the amount of time the client has maintained an account with the Advisor (or its affiliated representatives), and/or the combined market value of related portfolios. While the Advisor believes that its investment advisory fees are competitive, clients may find lower or higher fees for comparable services from other sources. Investment advisory fees are charged quarterly in advance as a percentage of the portfolio value on the last business day of the previous quarter or the last value provided by the custodian. These asset-based fees are assessed on all billable assets under management, including securities, cash, and money market funds. The initial investment advisory fee will be billed and based on a client’s account value at the time the account is established at the custodian. Fee adjustments will be processed for any deposits and withdrawals processed during the quarter. The initial fee will be prorated based upon the number of days from the first day of management to the end of the quarter. Subsequently, investment advisory fees are determined on the first day of each quarter. The Advisor may make amendments to the investment advisory fee outlined in the Investment Advisory Agreement at any time with at least 30-days written notice to the client. Automatic Debiting of Investment Advisory Fees Upon establishing an account with the Advisor, the client will authorize and direct the client’s custodian broker- dealer to debit the client’s account each investment advisory fee payable from the account, which will result in the client’s custodian broker-dealer sending the investment advisory fee payable directly to the Advisor. At the beginning of the quarter, the Advisor will direct the client’s custodian broker-dealer to debit the client’s designated account(s) the amount of the investment advisory fee. If the client’s account does not maintain a sufficient cash or money market balance to cover the investment advisory fees or is restricted from automatic debiting of fees, the client may deposit additional funds (subject to certain restrictions for IRA accounts and Qualified Retirement Plans) or make payment in an alternative manner acceptable to the Advisor. If such funds are not deposited, certain securities in the client’s account may be liquidated in an amount sufficient to cover such debits. Brokerage Account Fees The Advisor’s investment advisory fees are separate from charges assessed by third parties, such as broker- dealers, custodians, or mutual fund companies. A client will incur brokerage and other transaction costs charged by broker-dealer(s) executing the transactions and the custodians maintaining the client’s assets. These costs may include, but are not limited to, brokerage transaction and money movement costs, commissions, ticket charges, fed fund wire fees, custodial fees, IRA custodial fees, safekeeping fees, and margin interest. These costs are in addition to the Advisor’s investment advisory fees and are not shared with the Advisor. Mutual funds charge an investment management fee, which is in addition to the investment advisory fee a client pays to the Advisor. Some funds also assess administrative fees and 12b-1 fees. 8 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 The Advisor does not receive any portion of these fees. These fees are in addition to the investment advisory fees the Advisor charges. The client does not pay these fees directly; rather, they are deducted from the mutual funds’ assets and will affect the performance of the investments. These funds’ advisory, administrative, and 12b-1 fees are described in the funds’ prospectuses. Mutual fund share prices and execution costs differ based on share class. The Advisor will review the cost of a fund’s share classes in conjunction with execution costs to assure that it meets its fiduciary duty to obtain best execution. When investing in exchange traded products (“ETP”), e.g., ETF and ETN, a client will bear the ETP’s proportionate share of fees and expenses as an investor in the ETP. The client does not pay these fees directly; rather they are deducted from the ETP’s assets and will affect the performance of the investment. The Advisor recommends that clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”) or Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”), FINRA-registered broker-dealers, members SIPC, to maintain custody of their assets and to effect trades for their accounts. Clients should review the expenses associated with each custodian prior to determining which custodian to choose, as fees differ among custodians and the client could pay higher fees with one custodian over another. LPL makes certain mutual funds and ETFs available to the Advisor for no transaction fee (“NTF Securities”). Clients should understand that while the Advisor attempts to utilize NTF Securities to lower costs to clients, the Advisor’s investment selections will include mutual funds and ETFs that incur trading fees. Such decisions have an impact on the investment performance of the client’s account. A client choosing an alternate broker-dealer may result in additional expenses, fees, and lack of efficiency in reporting account information because the Advisor has established relationships with LPL, Pershing, and Interactive Brokers to facilitate certain additional services, which are outlined in the section “Brokerage Practices” below. Additionally, if the client does not use one of the recommended custodians, the Advisor will reserve the right not to accept the account. For information about the factors the Advisor considers in selecting and/or recommending brokerage firms, see “Brokerage Practices” below. The Advisor subscribes to research and other web-based services published by certain institutional fund advisors that manage investment products. These fund advisors do not charge the Advisor a subscription fee for its services, however its model portfolios include recommendations for investment products offered or managed by the fund advisor. The Advisor may attend user conferences sponsored by the fund advisors and have access to consultants for which they do not charge the Advisor. Because the fund advisors and its affiliates earn revenue from investments in their respective investment products, the Advisor is not charged for these services. These discounts create a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The Advisor is approved to use mutual funds managed by the fund advisor, which the Advisor often does use, but is not bound to. Pershing Pershing provides the Advisor with access to its institutional trading and operations services. These services are generally available, without cost, to financial advisory firms who maintain a minimum threshold of client assets with Pershing. The trading fees Pershing charges to clients, which may change from time to time, are set forth in the client’s Investment Advisory Agreement. 9 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 Termination A client has the right to terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement for investment advisory services without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into an Investment Advisory Agreement. Thereafter, the Investment Advisory Agreement will terminate upon the Advisor’s receipt of the client’s written notice. The Advisor may cease providing investment advisory services upon its written notice of termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement to the client or upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Upon the effective date of termination, the client will be refunded fees on a prorated share based on the remaining days of the quarter that have been prepaid. However, if the account is closed within the first six months by the client or as a result of withdrawals that bring the account value below the required minimum, the Advisor reserves the right to retain the pre-paid quarterly investment advisory fee for the current quarter in order to cover the administrative costs of establishing the account (for example, the costs related to transferring positions in and out of the account, data entry in opening the account, reconciliation of positions in order to issue quarterly performance reports, and re-registration of positions). Separately Managed Account Program Fees A client investing in separately managed account programs will pay an ongoing advisory fee to compensate the Advisor, as well as the third-party money manager. The fee charged may be up to 2.50% annually. Client fees are payable using the fee schedules and frequency set forth in the third-party money manager(s)’ Disclosure Brochure(s) and agreement(s). The client may also pay custodial fees and transaction charges, depending on the custodian selected by the third-party portfolio manager(s). There also may be additional fees of the underlying investments, such as mutual funds or ETPs, which will result in a reduction of that product’s net asset value. Separate written disclosures provided to the client include a copy of the third-party money manager’s Form ADV Part 2, all relevant Brochures, a Solicitation Disclosure Statement detailing the exact fees the Advisor is paid and a copy of the third-party money manager’s privacy policy. The third-party money managers the Advisor recommends will not directly charge a client a higher fee than they would have charged without the Advisor introducing the client to them. LPL serves as program sponsor, investment adviser, and broker-dealer for the LPL advisory programs. The Advisor and LPL Financial may share in the account fee and other fees associated with program accounts. Fees for LPL advisory programs are payable quarterly in advance. Termination provisions are also set out in the third-party money manager(s)’ Disclosure Brochure(s). Financial Planning and Consulting Fees The Advisor charges hourly or flat rate fees for its financial planning and consulting services. The hourly charge is a maximum of $500 per hour and the flat rate fee is no more than $15,000. Fees are negotiated on a client- by-client basis depending on the size, complexity, and nature of the client’s portfolio and will be set forth in the Financial Planning or Consulting Agreement. There is no minimum asset requirement for a financial planning or consulting engagement. Upon presentation of a completed financial plan to the client, the Advisor will present an invoice reflecting the fees owed for services. 10 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 For consulting services, the client is required to pay at the time of consultation with the Advisor. Termination A client has the right to terminate the Financial Planning or Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the Agreement. Thereafter, the Agreement will terminate upon the Advisor’s receipt of the client’s written notice. The Advisor may terminate providing investment advisory services upon written notice of termination to the client or upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Financial Planning or Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement. The Advisor will present the client with an invoice for any services provided up to termination. For financial planning services, the Financial Planning Agreement automatically terminates, unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon delivery of the financial plan. For consulting services, the Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement automatically terminates, unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon final consultation with the client. Investment adviser representatives of the Advisor are also associated with LPL Financial as broker-dealer registered representatives (“Dually Registered Persons”). In their capacity as registered representatives of LPL Financial, Dually Registered Persons earn commissions for the sale of securities or investment products that they recommend for brokerage clients. They do not earn commissions on the sale of securities or investment products recommended or purchased in advisory accounts through the Advisor. Clients have the option of purchasing many of the securities and investment products the Advisor makes available to its clients through another broker-dealer or investment adviser. However, when purchasing these securities and investment products away from the Advisor, the client will not receive the benefit of the advice and other services the Advisor provides. Item 6 Performance Based Fees and Side by Side Management Performance-Based Fees The Advisor does not accept performance-based fees, which are fees based on a share of capital gains or appreciation of the assets of a client. Side-By-Side Management Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts for which an advisor charges performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. The Advisor does not participate in side-by-side management. Item 7 Types of Clients The Advisor generally offers advisory services to individuals; pensions, Taft Hartley plans, and profit-sharing plans including plans subject to Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); for-profit and non-profit corporations, and other business entities; trusts; estates; and charitable organizations. Unless otherwise provided herein, there is a minimum investment of $100,000 for the Legacy Managed Portfolio program, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. 11 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss The Advisor’s investment strategies include both strategic and tactical asset allocation as well as an unconstrained approach. All our strategies begin with a top-down macroeconomic view of the capital markets and capital trends. The Advisor constructs portfolios based on our views of those markets over a three to five- year time horizon but with watchful eye on how short-term events could impact risk. Strategic and Tactical allocation models stay largely invested at all times while the unconstrained approach will utilize cash as a defensive tool during periods of high volatility and/or risk. The Advisor will also utilize hedging strategies where appropriate. Resources include multiple third-party independent research (both paid and non-paid), economic conferences, due diligence meetings, and technical analysis. Factors the Advisor considers include, but are not limited to, market trend analysis, valuation considerations, capital fund flows, current economic conditions, and prevailing foreseeable risks and/or conflicts. Clients are advised and should understand that: Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear; • • Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss; • Past performance is not a guarantee of future results; • Market conditions, interest rates, and other investment related risks may cause losses in their portfolio; • Risk parameters established for their portfolio are guidelines only – the selected risk parameters may be exceeded and index comparisons may outperform their portfolio; • Their portfolio’s value is subject to a variety of factors, such as liquidity and volatility of the securities markets; • • There may be a higher level of risk with leveraged and inverse ETPs because, to accomplish their objectives, they may pursue a range of investment strategies through the use of swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative instruments; Investing in securities with foreign currency may cause losses due to fluctuation in currency exchange rates. Investing in foreign currency may also pose risks due to factors within the foreign country, including but not limited to; political instability, changes in inflation, changes in interest rate, currency price, and liquidity constraints; • Custodians the Advisor recommends provide clients the opportunity to invest in asset-backed loans Asset-backed loans are loans secured by the client’s brokerage account. There are certain risks associated with asset-backed loans such as market fluctuation causing the value of the client’s brokerage account to decline requiring the client to sell securities in order to maintain equity requirements and possible adverse tax consequences as a result of selling securities; • Information and technology systems are vulnerable to potential damage, or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized and security breaches, usage errors by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes; and • The occurrences of a natural disaster or epidemic/pandemic could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect and severely disrupt the business operations, economics, and financial markets. 12 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 Item 9 Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose specific information related to certain legal or regulatory events that may be material to choosing an advisor. The Advisor and its Covered Persons have not been the subject of any material legal or disciplinary proceedings. Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Certain employees of the Advisor are Dually Registered Persons. LPL Financial is a broker-dealer that is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with the Advisor. Please refer to Item 12 for a discussion of the benefits the Advisor receives from LPL Financial and the conflicts of interest associated with receipt of such benefits. For non-advisory accounts held at LPL, a LWM Advisory Services, LLC IAR receives commissions on securities transactions as a registered representative through his/her affiliation with LPL. Notwithstanding the IAR’s affiliation with LPL, the Advisor is solely responsible for the investment advice rendered. Advisory services are provided separately and independently of the brokerage services the IARs offer through LPL unless otherwise disclosed. The potential for the receipt of commissions or advisory fees may give an IAR an incentive to recommend an investment or investment services based on the compensation received, rather than on the client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered and IARs must recommend securities products that are suitable for the client. Further, IARs do not earn commissions on the sale of securities or investment products recommended or purchased in advisory accounts. Clients may direct any questions regarding the compensation their IAR receives when recommending a product to their IAR. Clients are under no obligation to purchase investment products through their IAR. Certain IARs are insurance licensed in one or more states and may recommend the purchase of insurance products through an affiliated company of LPL or other insurance companies and agencies. Such IARs receive commissions for the sale of such insurance products. The ability to receive commissions from the sale of insurance products presents a conflict of interest, in that it gives an incentive to recommend a particular insurance product over a different insurance product or a different investment, based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered. As discussed previously, certain Covered Persons of the Advisor are registered representatives of LPL. As a result of this relationship, LPL has access to certain confidential information (e.g., financial information, investment objectives, transactions and holdings) about a client of the Advisor, even if the client does not establish any account through LPL. If you would like a copy of the LPL privacy policy, please contact your IAR or Greg Reymann, Chief Compliance Officer, at (813) 497-1400 or cs@lwmfl.com. Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. d.b.a. Legacy Retirement Plan Advisors is a retirement plan consulting firm that provides plan sponsor due diligence support, participant education and investment fiduciary services. Account services are billed separately according to an engagement letter agreed upon by the client and are not offered through the Advisor. 13 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 The Advisor is affiliated with Legacy Wealth, LLC, a doing-business-as name for Legacy Wealth Management, Inc., the Advisor’s sole member. Legacy Wealth, LLC, is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. and is managed by Tony DuBose. Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading LWM Advisory Services, LLC has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) pursuant to industry standards. The Code is predicated upon serving the best interest of our clients. All Covered Persons must at all times reflect the professional standards expected of those engaged in the investment advisory business, and shall act within the spirit and the letter of the federal, state, and local laws and regulations pertaining to investment advisors and the general conduct of business. These standards require all personnel to be judicious, accurate, objective, and reasonable in dealing with both clients and other parties so that their personal integrity is unquestionable. The Code of Ethics is certified annually with Covered Persons of the Firm. For a copy of the Code of Ethics, a written request should be sent to 1250 S. Pine Island Road, Ste. 350, Plantation, FL 33324, Attention: Greg Reymann. On occasion, the Advisor may buy or sell securities that it recommends to clients or may recommend securities transactions in which the Advisor or its Covered Persons has some financial interest. This practice would create a conflict of interest if the transactions were structured to trade on the market causing an impact on recommendations made to the Advisor’s clients. The Chief Compliance Officer reviews Covered Persons’ personal transactions quarterly. The Advisor’s Code of Ethics requires pre-approval of personal transactions in some cases. The Advisor believes that it has adopted sufficient controls so that personal transactions are consistent with advice given to clients. Item 12 Brokerage Practices LWM Advisory Services, LLC does not provide brokerage services. The Advisor recommends clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”), or Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”), to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. LPL and Pershing are not affiliated. LPL Financial LLC The Advisor may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL, a FINRA-registered broker- dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. LPL Financial provides brokerage and custodial services to independent investment advisory firms, including the Advisor. For the Advisor’s accounts custodied at LPL Financial, LPL Financial is compensated by clients through commissions, trails, or other transaction-based fees for trades that are executed through LPL Financial or that settle into LPL Financial accounts. For IRA accounts, LPL Financial generally charges account maintenance fees. In addition, LPL Financial also charges clients miscellaneous fees and charges, such as account transfer fees. Although the Advisor may recommend that clients establish accounts at LPL, it is a client’s decision to custody assets with LPL or another custodian. The Advisor is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with or supervised by LPL. 14 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 While LPL Financial does not participate in, or influence the formulation of, the investment advice the Advisor provides, certain supervised persons of the Advisor are Dually Registered Persons. Dually Registered Persons are restricted by certain FINRA rules and policies from maintaining client accounts at another custodian or executing client transactions in such client accounts through any broker-dealer or custodian that is not approved by LPL Financial. As a result, the use of other trading platforms must be approved not only by the Advisor, but also by LPL Financial. Clients should understand that not all investment advisers recommend that clients custody their accounts and trade through specific broker-dealers. Clients may utilize the broker-dealer of their choice and have no obligation to purchase or sell securities through LPL. However, if a client does not use LPL, the Advisor will reserve the right not to accept the account. LPL is obligated to seek the best execution pursuant to FINRA Rule 5310 for all trades executed, however better executions may be available via another broker-dealer based on a number of factors including volume, order flow, and market making activity. Clients should also be aware that for accounts where LPL Financial serves as the custodian, the Advisor is limited to offering services and investment vehicles that are approved by LPL Financial, and may be prohibited from offering services and investment vehicles that may be available through other broker-dealers and custodians, some of which may be more suitable for a client’s portfolio than the services and investment vehicles offered through LPL Financial. Clients should also understand that LPL Financial is responsible under FINRA rules for supervising certain business activities of the Advisor and its Dually Registered Persons that are conducted through broker-dealers and custodians other than LPL Financial. LPL Financial charges a fee for its oversight of activities conducted through these other broker-dealers and custodians. This arrangement presents a conflict of interest because the Advisor has a financial incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with LPL Financial rather than with another broker-dealer or custodian to avoid incurring the oversight fee. LPL’s brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. For client accounts maintained in LPL’s custody, LPL generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed through LPL or that settle into LPL accounts. Transition Assistance Benefits LPL Financial provides various benefits and payments to Dually Registered Persons to assist with the costs (including foregone revenues during account transition) associated with transitioning business to the LPL Financial platform (collectively referred to as “Transition Assistance”). The proceeds of such Transition Assistance payments are intended to be used for a variety of purposes, including but not necessarily limited to, providing working capital to assist in funding the Dually Registered Person’s business, satisfying any outstanding debt owed to the Dually Registered Person’s prior firm, offsetting account transfer fees (ACATs) payable to LPL Financial as a result of the Dually Registered Person’s clients transitioning to LPL Financial’s custodial platform, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationary and licensure transfer fees, moving expenses, office space expenses, staffing support and termination fees associated with moving accounts. 15 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 The amount of the Transition Assistance payments is often significant in relation to the overall revenue earned or compensation received by the Dually Registered Person at their prior firm. Such payments are generally based on the size of the Dually Registered Person’s business established at their prior firm and/or assets under custody on the LPL Financial. Please refer to the relevant Part 2B brochure supplement for more information about the specific Transition Payments your representative receives. Transition Assistance payments and other benefits are provided to associated persons of the Advisor in their capacity as registered representatives of LPL Financial. However, the receipt of Transition Assistance by such Dually Registered Persons creates conflicts of interest relating to the Advisor’s advisory business because it creates a financial incentive for the Advisor’s representatives to recommend that its clients maintain their accounts with LPL Financial. In certain instances, the receipt of such benefits is dependent on a Dually Registered Person maintaining its clients’ assets with LPL Financial and therefore the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that clients maintain their account with LPL Financial in order to generate such benefits. The Advisor attempts to mitigate these conflicts of interest by evaluating and recommending that clients use LPL Financial’s services based on the benefits that such services provide to our clients, rather than the Transition Assistance earned by any particular Dually Registered Person. The Advisor considers LPL Financial’s (i) price; (ii) facilities, reliability, and financial responsibility; (iii) ability to effect transactions, particularly with regard to such aspects as timing, order size, and execution of order; (iv) the research and related brokerage services when recommending or requiring that clients maintain accounts with LPL Financial. However, clients should be aware of this conflict and take it into consideration in deciding whether to custody their assets in a brokerage account at LPL Financial. IARs may receive from LPL Financial upfront transition payments in order to assist them with transitioning their business onto the LPL Financial custodial platform. These funds may be used, but not necessarily limited to, offsetting things like ACAT fees, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationary and licensure transfer fees. This presents a conflict of interest in that the IAR has a financial incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with LPL Financial. However, to the extent an IAR recommends you use LPL Financial for such services, it is because the IAR believes that it is in your best interest to do so based on the quality and pricing of the execution, benefits of an integrated platform for brokerage and advisory accounts, and other services provided by LPL Financial. Research & Other Soft Dollar Benefits LPL also makes available to the Advisor other products and services that benefit the Advisor but may not directly benefit its clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or some substantial number of clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at LPL. LPL’s products and services that assist the Advisor in managing and administering clients’ accounts include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of the Advisor’s fees from its clients’ accounts; and (v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. Services provided by LPL to the Advisor include research (including mutual fund research, third-party research, and LPL’s proprietary research), brokerage, custody, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. 16 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 In addition, LPL makes available software and other technologies that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution, provide research, pricing information, quotation services, and other market data, assist with contact management, facilitate payment of fees to the firm from client accounts, assist with performance reporting, facilitate trade allocation, and assist with back-office support, record-keeping, and client reporting. LPL also provides access to practice management consulting support, best execution assistance, consolidated statements assistance, marketing and educational materials, technological and information technology support, due diligence meetings, and LPL corporate discounts. Many of these services are used to service all or a substantial number of the Advisor’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at LPL. LPL provides the Advisor with other services intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business. Some of these services assist the Advisor to better monitor and service program accounts maintained at LPL Financial, however, many of these services benefit only the Advisor, for example, services that assist the Advisor in growing its business. These support services and/or products may be provided without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate, and include practice management-related publications; consulting services; attendance at conferences and seminars, meetings, and other educational and/or social events; marketing support; and other products and services used by the Advisor in furtherance of the operation and development of its investment advisory business. LPL also provides other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of the Advisor’s personnel. Where such services are provided by a third-party vendor, LPL Financial will either make a payment to the Advisor to cover the cost of such services, reimburse the Advisor for the cost associated with the services, or pay the third-party vendor directly on behalf of the Advisor. The products and services described above are provided to the Advisor as part of its overall relationship with LPL Financial. While as a fiduciary the Advisor endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, the receipt of these benefits creates a conflict of interest because the Advisor’s recommendation that clients custody their assets at LPL Financial is based in part on the benefit to the Advisor of the availability of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody or brokerage services provided by LPL Financial. The Advisor’s receipt of some of these benefits may be based on the amount of advisory assets custodied on the LPL Financial platform. In evaluating whether to recommend that clients custody their assets at LPL, the Advisor may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products, services, and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by LPL, which may create a potential conflict of interest. The Advisor addresses this conflict by conducting quarterly reviews of a sampling of execution quality and annual reviews of commission rates, trade error rates, quality of client reporting, block trading, reputation, and financial strength of the broker-dealer. The quarterly and annual reviews include a comparison to other industry participants offering the same or similar services. Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC The Advisor may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with Pershing, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. 17 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 Pershing offers to independent investment advisors services that include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. There is no direct link between the Advisor’s recommendation of Pershing and the investment advice it gives to its clients, although the Advisor receives economic benefits through its participation in the program. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk serving the Advisor participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from client accounts; and access to an electronic communications network for client order entry and account information. Some of the products and services made available by Pershing may benefit the Advisor but may not benefit its client accounts. These products or services may assist Advisor in managing and administering client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Pershing. Other services made available by Pershing are intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by the Advisor or its personnel do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Pershing, however the Advisor is subject to maintain a minimum of assets under management with Pershing in order to avoid paying a platform fee to utilize its services. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence the Advisor’s choice of Pershing for custody and brokerage services. Best Execution In recommending broker-dealers, the Advisor considers “best execution.” Best execution means in recommending a broker-dealer, the Advisor will comply with its fiduciary duty to obtain best execution and as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will take into account such relevant factors as (i) price; (ii) the broker-dealer’s facilities, reliability, and financial responsibility; (iii) the ability of the broker-dealer to effect transactions, particularly with regard to such aspects as timing, order size, and execution of order; (iv) the research and related brokerage services provided by such broker-dealer to the Advisor, notwithstanding that a client’s account may not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of such services; and (v) any other factors the Advisor considers to be relevant. Aggregation of Orders When the Advisor buys or sells the same security for more than one client, it may place concurrent orders with the brokerage firm to be executed together as a single “block” in order to facilitate orderly and efficient execution. Where orders are aggregated, each client’s account will be charged or credited with the average price per unit. The Advisor receives no additional compensation or remuneration from aggregating transactions. However, because the Advisor uses different custodians, the Advisor does not aggregate trades among custodians. Non-aggregated trades in equity securities can result in your paying higher brokerage costs. Directed Brokerage LPL will be the primary broker/dealer and custodian the Advisor recommends due to the relationship that its associated persons have with LPL. LPL limits or restricts the broker/dealer or custodian platforms for LPL registered representatives (that are also independently registered) due to LPL's duty to supervise the 18 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 transactions implemented by those individuals. If a client directs the Advisor to use a specific firm for brokerage or custodial services or maintains an account with LPL because their IAR is affiliated with LPL, the client should be aware that there may be brokerage and execution services available elsewhere at lower cost. Clients should consider whether directing brokerage to a particular broker-dealer firm may result in certain costs or disadvantages, such as higher commissions, less favorable executions, or being limited in investment options. If a client’s account is invested in mutual funds or variable annuities, these directed brokerage arrangements might limit the investment options for the Advisor’s use in managing the client’s account. The reasons for a brokerage firm to limit these options are many, such as the brokerage firm offers only its proprietary investment products or is paid a higher commission when the volume of a particular product attains a certain level. In addition, with directed brokerage arrangements, the client is responsible for negotiating the brokerage firm’s commission rates and other fees. Item 13 Review of Accounts The value of securities held in a client’s portfolio will be valued by the custodian, broker-dealer, or other investment vendor. Some investments, such as alternative investments or private placements, values are based upon the value provided by the investment’s manager, which may be monthly, quarterly, but not less than annually; often, these values are estimates made by the alternative investment’s manager and may not be the liquidation value. The Advisor’s Managing Principal reviews client account activity no less than quarterly. The level of review is determined by the complexity of the portfolio at the discretion of the Advisor’s Managing Principal. Other factors that may trigger review are changes in economic or market conditions, and individual client situations. Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation The Advisor maintains referral arrangements with one or more third party investment advisor to act as their solicitor for investment management services. In these instances, the third-party investment advisor will pay the Advisor compensation in connection with the arrangement. The Advisor discloses all compensation with respect to the foregoing to each referred client through a disclosure statement disclosing the terms of the specific arrangement. The Advisor pays referral fees to third parties (“Promoters”) to offer the Advisor’s advisory services or programs. Any arrangement is conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In such event, the Advisor compensates the Promoter directly if a client enters a relationship with the Advisor. This compensation is made up of a portion of the advisory fee the Advisor charges the client, which may be up to 35% of the investment advisory fee the Advisor receives. A Promoter will provide the client with a statement disclosing the terms of the Solicitor’s arrangement with the Advisor. The Advisor and/or its Dually Registered Persons are incented to join and remain affiliated with LPL Financial and to recommend that clients establish accounts with LPL Financial through the provision of Transition Assistance (discussed in Item 12 above and your IAR’s ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement). LPL also provides other compensation to the Advisor and its Dually Registered Persons, including but not limited to, bonus payments, repayable and forgivable loans, stock awards and other benefits. The receipt of any such compensation creates a financial incentive for your representative to recommend LPL Financial as custodian 19 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 for the assets in your advisory account. We encourage you to discuss any such conflicts of interest with your representative before deciding to custody your assets at LPL Financial. The Advisor receives research and other web-based services from product sponsors. These product sponsors do not charge the Advisor a subscription fee for their services, however their services may include recommendations for investment products they offer or manage. The Advisor may attend user conferences sponsored by the product sponsors for which they do not charge the Advisor. Because these product sponsors earn revenue from investments in their respective investment products, they do not charge the Advisor fees for these services. These discounts create a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by the Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest. Item 15 Custody The Advisor has custody of clients’ funds to the extent that it has the ability to deduct fees from clients’ accounts. The custodian will send quarterly account statements to clients. Neither the Advisor nor its associated persons will accept delivery of a client’s securities or funds in the name of the Advisor or its associated person. The Advisor is deemed to have custody when clients authorize us via standing letters of instruction to direct funds to third-parties from their custodial accounts. In connection with standing letters of instruction a client must provide signed written instruction to the custodian to direct transfers to a third party, which the client may instruct the custodian to terminate or change at any time. The Advisor has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s instruction. The custodian will verify the instruction with an initial notice, provide the client with a transfer of funds notice promptly after each transfer, and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. The Advisor and its affiliates may not accept funds in connection with standing letters of instruction, nor may funds be delivered to locations where the Advisor or its affiliates conduct business. Executing broker-dealers, custodians, or other investment vendors provide account statements and confirmations. The Advisor urges clients to compare statements received from custodians with any reports the Advisor may provide. If there are any differences, please contact the Advisor immediately for resolution. Item 16 Investment Discretion Clients who have entered into a discretionary Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor grant LWM Advisory Services, LLC power of attorney to exercise discretion over the selection of the investments, timing of placing the trade, and amount of securities to be bought or sold. This investment authority may be subject to specified investment objectives and guidelines and/or conditions imposed by the client in writing, as described above in “Advisory Business.” Item 17 Voting Client Securities The Advisor does not vote proxies on behalf of client securities. A client maintains exclusive responsibility for: 20 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025 (i) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities they beneficially own will be voted, and (ii) making all elections relative to mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings or other types of events pertaining to the client’s investments. The Advisor does not render advice to or take any actions on behalf of clients with respect to any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies, and shareholder litigation, to which any securities or other investments held in client accounts, or the issuers thereof, become subject, and does not initiate or pursue legal proceedings, including without limitation shareholder litigation, on behalf of clients with respect to transactions, securities or other investments held in client accounts. The right to take any actions with respect to legal proceedings, including shareholder litigation, with respect to transactions, securities or other investments held in a client account is expressly reserved to the client. Item 18 Financial Information The Advisor has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to its clients nor has it been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 21 LWMAS-ADV 2A – 03/2025

The Advisor is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. Tony DuBose is Legacy Wealth Management, Inc.’s Managing Principal and indirect owner. Advisory services are tailored to clients’ specific situations by following a disciplined consultative process. The Advisor analyzes and assesses clients’ current situations and determines recommendations on how to proceed in investing to meet their goals. A client’s Investment Policy Statement may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or groups of securities, or a client may impose such restrictions by indicating any restrictions in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Advisory services include portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting services. This Wrap Brochure provides information about the Advisor and its advisory services under its Legacy Managed Portfolio II program. Other investment advisory services offered by the Advisor are described in detail in the Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure. Services Through its wrap program, the Legacy Managed Portfolio II program, the Advisor provides ongoing investment advice and management for assets in the client’s account on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis according to each client’s investment objective and financial situation. If a client selects non-discretionary investment management, LWMAS will not purchase or sell a security in their account without first obtaining the client’s authority to do so. The Advisor provides advisory services for the following types of investments: equity securities, warrants, options, debt securities, real estate investment trusts (“REIT”), mutual funds, closed end funds, exchange traded funds (“ETF”), exchange traded notes (“ETN”), unit investment trusts, private placements, limited partnerships, structured products, alternative investments, certificates of deposit (“CD”), master limited partnerships (“MLP”), annuities and life insurance contracts. LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”) acts as the custodian for clients’ accounts and provides brokerage and execution services as the broker-dealer on account transactions, and performs administrative services, such as quarterly performance reporting to clients. Fees and Compensation The client pays the Advisor a single wrap fee (“Advisory Fee”) for advisory, brokerage and trade execution services. The Advisory Fee is based on the value of assets managed by the Advisor, calculated as a percentage of assets under management. This fee is compensation for advisory services and portfolio management fees rendered by the Advisor, as well as charges for execution and transaction services provided by LPL. 1 Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. 3 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 The Advisory Fee is negotiable between the client and the Advisor and is set out in the Investment Advisory Agreement. There is a minimum investment of $100,000, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. The Advisor charges a fee of no more than 2.00% annually for its portfolio management services. The amount of the Advisory Fee will be set out in the Investment Advisory Agreement executed by the client at the time the relationship is established. The Advisory Fee is negotiated on a client-by-client basis depending on the size, complexity and nature of the portfolio managed and will be set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Because Advisory Fees are negotiated, not all clients will pay the same fees. A client may pay a higher or lower Advisory Fee depending on considerations such as the size of the client’s account, the amount of time the client has maintained an account with the Advisor, and/or the combined market value of related portfolios. While the Advisor believes that its Advisory Fees are competitive, clients may find lower or higher fees for comparable services from other sources. Although the client does not directly pay charges for execution and transactions, clients should be aware that from the Advisory Fee paid to the Advisor, the Advisor pays the client’s custodian broker-dealer for the client’s custodian broker-dealer‘s related charges associated with the client’s account. The Advisor retains the remaining portion as compensation for its advisory services and portfolio management. These transaction charges paid by the Advisor to the client’s custodian broker-dealer vary based on the type of transaction. LPL makes certain mutual funds and ETFs available to the Advisor for no transaction fee (“NTF Securities”). Because the Advisor pays the execution and transaction charges, clients should understand that the Advisor has a financial incentive to select NTF Securities to avoid paying or to lower its transaction charges. Clients should consider this conflict when monitoring purchases in their accounts in recognition of the overall fee and other arrangements with the Advisor for management of their accounts. All such conflicts may have an impact on the investment performance of the client’s account. The Advisor instructs the client’s custodian broker-dealer to deduct the Advisory Fee quarterly in advance from the client’s brokerage account, unless other arrangements are set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. If the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated before the end of the quarterly period, the Advisor will refund any pre-paid quarterly Advisory Fee on a prorated basis, based on the number of days remaining in the quarter after the termination date. However, if the account is closed within the first six months by the client or as a result of withdrawals that bring the account value below the required minimum, the Advisor reserves the right to retain the pre-paid quarterly Advisory Fee for the current quarter in order to cover the administrative costs of establishing the account (for example, the costs related to transferring positions in and out of the account, data entry in opening the account, reconciliation of positions in order to issue quarterly performance reports, and re-registration of positions). A client has the right to terminate the Advisory Agreement for investment advisory services without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the Advisory Agreement. Thereafter, the Advisory Agreement will terminate upon the Advisor’s receipt of the client’s written notice. The Advisor may terminate providing investment advisory services upon written notice of termination to the client or upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Advisory Agreement. 4 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 After the termination date, the Advisor has no responsibility to provide ongoing investment advice to the client. Other Types of Fees and Expenses For clients with accounts at LPL, in addition to the Advisory Fee, which includes LPL’s execution and transaction costs, LPL may charge additional costs directly to the client. LPL notifies clients of these charges at account opening and makes available a list of these charges on its website at www.lpl.com. Fees Charged by Third Parties There are other fees and charges that are imposed by parties other than the Advisor (third parties) that apply to investments in Legacy Managed Portfolio II accounts. If a client’s assets are invested in mutual funds, exchange-traded products, or other pooled investment products, the client should be aware that there will be two layers of fees and expenses for those assets. The client will pay an investment management fee to the fund manager and other expenses as a shareholder of the fund. In the case of mutual funds that are fund-of-funds, there could be an additional layer of fees, including performance fees that may vary depending on the performance of the fund. The client will also pay the Advisor the Advisory Fee with respect to those assets. Most of the mutual funds available in the program may be purchased directly. Therefore, a client could generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the advisory services of the client’s custodian broker-dealer and the Advisor and by making their own decisions regarding the investment. If a client transfers a previously purchased mutual fund into a Legacy Managed Portfolio II account, and there is an applicable contingent deferred sales charge on the fund, the client will pay that charge when the mutual fund is sold. If a mutual fund has a frequent trading policy, the policy can limit a client’s transactions in shares of the fund (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations, deposits or tax harvesting). Although the client’s custodian broker-dealer may make available no-load and load-waived mutual funds to Legacy Managed Portfolio II accounts, the client’s custodian broker-dealer receives asset-based sales charges or service fees (e.g., 12b-1 fees) from certain mutual funds. The client’s custodian broker-dealer retains these fees and they are not shared with the Advisor. The Advisor subscribes to research and other web-based services published by certain institutional fund advisors that manage investment products. These fund advisors do not charge the Advisor a subscription fee for its services, however its model portfolios include recommendations for investment products offered or managed by the fund advisor. The Advisor may attend user conferences sponsored by the fund advisors and have access to consultants for which they do not charge the Advisor. Because the fund advisors and its affiliates earn revenue from investments in their respective investment products, the Advisor is not charged for these services. These discounts create a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The Advisor is approved to use mutual funds managed by the fund advisor, which the Advisor often does use, but is not bound to. 5 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 If a client holds a variable annuity as part of a Legacy Managed Portfolio II account, there are mortality, expense and administrative charges, fees for additional riders on the contract and charges for excessive transfers within a calendar year imposed by the variable annuity sponsor. If a client holds a REIT as part of an account, there are dealer management fees and other organizational, offering and pricing expenses imposed by the REIT. If client holds a UIT in the Legacy Managed Portfolio II account, UIT sponsors charge creation and development fees or similar fees. Further information regarding fees assessed by a product sponsor is available in the appropriate prospectus or offering document, which is available upon request from the Advisor or from the product sponsor directly. Important Things to Consider About Fees on a Legacy Managed Portfolio II Account The Advisory Fee is an ongoing wrap fee for investment advisory services, which includes the cost of the execution of transactions and other administrative and custodial services. The Advisory Fee may cost the client more than purchasing the services separately, for example, paying an advisory fee plus commissions for each transaction in the account. Inasmuch as the Advisor pays the custodian the transaction and execution costs associated with client accounts, this may create a disincentive for the Advisor to trade securities in accounts. Factors that bear upon the cost of the Legacy Managed Portfolio II account in relation to the cost of the same services purchased separately include the: type and size of the account; • • historical and/or expected size or number of trades for the account; and • number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services provided to the client. The Advisor receives compensation as a result of the client’s participation in the program, which may be more than what the client would pay to another investment advisory firm. The Advisor may make amendments to the fee schedule, including negotiated fees, at any time with at least thirty (30) days written notice to the client. Item 5 Account Requirements and Types of Clients There is a minimum investment of $100,000, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. The Legacy Managed Portfolio II account is available for individuals; pensions, Taft Hartley plans, and profit- sharing plans including plans subject to Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); for-profit and non-profit corporations and other business entities; trusts; estates; and charitable organizations. Item 6 Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation The Advisor provides the client investment advice and management in the Legacy Managed Portfolio II account. The Advisor does not select outside portfolio managers to manage the Legacy Managed Portfolio II program. 6 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 The Advisor offers other types of advisory programs, including portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting advisory services. The Advisor offers portfolio management advisory services through its Legacy Managed Portfolio I program, which is similar to the services it provides in the Legacy Managed Portfolio II account, in that the Advisor provides the investment advice and management to the client. However, under the Legacy Managed Portfolio I program, the client pays transaction charges directly to the broker-dealer custodian rather than the Advisor. Other investment advisory services offered by the Advisor are described in detail in the Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure. The Advisor has an incentive to recommend that a client use it, rather than another portfolio manager because it will retain the Advisory Fee, therefore, it may receive higher compensation than if it recommended a non- affiliated portfolio manager. The Advisor manages this conflict by providing investment advisory services that are in its clients’ best interests. Investment Discretion The Advisor provides advisory services on a discretionary basis for the purchase and sale of securities in the Legacy Managed Portfolio II. The client authorizes the Advisor to have discretion through the Investment Advisory Agreement. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies The Advisor’s investment strategies include both strategic and tactical asset allocation as well as an unconstrained approach. All our strategies begin with a top-down macroeconomic view of the capital markets and capital trends. The Advisor constructs portfolios based on our views of those markets over a three to five- year time horizon but with watchful eye on how short-term events impact risk. Strategic and Tactical allocation models stay largely invested at all times while the unconstrained approach will utilize cash as a defensive tool during periods of high volatility and/or risk. The Advisor will also utilize hedging strategies where appropriate. Resources include multiple third-party independent research (both paid and non-paid), economic conferences, due diligence meetings, and technical analysis. Factors the Advisor considers include, but are not limited to, market trend analysis, valuation considerations, capital fund flows, current economic conditions, and prevailing foreseeable risks and/or conflicts. Clients are advised and should understand that: Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear; • • Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss; • Past performance is not a guarantee of future results; • Market conditions, interest rates, and other investment-related risks may cause losses in their portfolio; • Risk parameters established for their portfolio are guidelines only – the selected risk parameters may be exceeded, and index comparisons may outperform their portfolio; • Their portfolio’s value is subject to a variety of factors, such as liquidity and volatility of the securities markets; 7 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 • • There may be a higher level of risk with leveraged and inverse ETPs because to accomplish their objectives, they may pursue a range of investment strategies through the use of swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative instruments; Investing in securities with foreign currency may cause losses due to fluctuation in currency exchange rates. Investing in foreign currency may also pose risks due to factors within the foreign country, including but not limited to; political instability, changes in inflation, changes in interest rate, currency price, and liquidity constraints; • • Custodians the Advisor recommends provide clients the opportunity to invest in asset-backed loans Asset-backed loans are loans secured by the client’s brokerage account. There are certain risks associated with asset-backed loans such as market fluctuation causing the value of the client’s brokerage account to decline requiring the client to sell securities in order to maintain equity requirements and possible adverse tax consequences as a result of selling securities; Information and technology systems are vulnerable to potential damage, or interruption from computer viruses, network failure, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized and security breaches, usage error by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, flood, hurricane and earthquakes; and • The occurrences of a natural disaster or epidemic/pandemic could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect and severely disrupt the business operations, economics, and financial markets. The Advisor’s advisory services include portfolio management, financial planning, consulting, and separately managed account advisory services. The Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure provides information about the Advisor and its advisory services. The Advisor provides advisory services for the following types of investments: equity securities, warrants, options, debt securities, REITs, mutual funds, closed end funds, ETFs, ETNs, unit investment trusts, private placements, limited partnerships, structured products, alternative investments, CDs, MLPs, annuities and life insurance contracts. Performance-Based Fees The Advisor does not accept performance-based fees, which are fees based on a share of capital gains or appreciation of the assets of a client. Side-By-Side Management Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. The Advisor does not participate in side-by-side management. Voting Client Securities The Advisor does not vote proxies on behalf of client securities. A client maintains exclusive responsibility for: (i) directing the manner in which proxies solicited by issuers of securities they beneficially own will be voted, and (ii) making all elections relative to mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceedings or other types of events pertaining to the client’s investments. 8 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 The Advisor does not render advice to or take any actions on behalf of clients with respect to any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies and shareholder litigation, to which any securities or other investments held in client accounts, or the issuers thereof, become subject, and does not initiate or pursue legal proceedings, including without limitation shareholder litigation, on behalf of clients with respect to transactions, securities, or other investments held in client accounts. The right to take any action with respect to legal proceedings, including shareholder litigation, with respect to transactions, securities or other investments held in a client account is expressly reserved to the client. Item 7 Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers The Advisor obtains the client’s financial information, risk tolerance and investment objectives to determine the investments in the client’s Legacy Managed Portfolio II account. The Advisor will contact the client periodically to review the client’s Legacy Managed Portfolio II account and determine whether there have been any changes to the client’s situation. Item 8 Client Contact with Portfolio Managers No restrictions are placed on a client’s ability to contact and consult with the Advisor regarding the Legacy Managed Portfolio II. Item 9 Additional Information Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose specific information related to certain legal or regulatory events that may be material to choosing an advisor. The Advisor and its Covered Persons have not been the subject of any material legal or disciplinary proceedings. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Investment advisor representatives (“IAR”) of the Advisor are Dually Registered Persons with LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”). LPL is a broker-dealer that is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with the Advisor. Please refer below for a discussion of the benefits the Advisor may receive from LPL and the conflicts of interest associated with receipt of such benefits. For non-advisory accounts held at LPL, LWM Advisory Services, LLC IAR receives commissions on securities transactions as a registered representative because of their affiliation with LPL. Notwithstanding the IARs’ affiliation with LPL, the Advisor is solely responsible for the investment advice rendered. Advisory services are provided separately and independently of the brokerage services the IARs offer through LPL unless otherwise disclosed. The potential for the receipt of commissions or advisory fees may give an IAR an incentive to recommend an investment or investment services based on the compensation received, rather than on the client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered and IARs must recommend securities products that are suitable for the client. Further, IARs do not earn commissions on the sale of securities or investment products recommended or purchased in advisory accounts. Clients may direct any questions regarding the compensation their IAR receives when recommending a product to their IAR. Clients are under no obligation to purchase investment products through their IAR. 9 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 Certain IARs are insurance licensed in one or more states and may recommend the purchase of insurance products through an affiliated company of LPL or other insurance companies and agencies. Such IARs receive commissions for the sale of such insurance products. The ability to receive commissions from the sale of insurance products presents a conflict of interest, in that it gives an incentive to recommend a particular insurance product over a different insurance product or a different investment, based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered. As discussed previously, certain Covered Persons of the Advisor are registered representatives of LPL. As a result of this relationship, LPL has access to certain confidential information (e.g., financial information, investment objectives, transactions and holdings) about a client of the Advisor, even if the client does not establish any account through LPL. If you would like a copy of the LPL privacy policy, please contact your IAR or Greg Reymann, Chief Compliance Officer, at (813) 497-1400 or cs@lwmfl.com. Legacy Wealth Management, Inc., d.b.a. Legacy Retirement Plan Advisors, is a retirement plan consulting firm that provides plan sponsor due diligence support, participant education and investment fiduciary services. Account services are billed separately according to an engagement letter agreed upon by the client and are not offered through the Advisor. The Advisor is affiliated with Legacy Wealth, LLC, a doing-business-as name for Legacy Wealth Management, Inc., the Advisor sole member. Legacy Wealth, LLC, is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc., and is managed by Tony DuBose. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading LWM Advisory Services, LLC has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) pursuant to industry standards. The Code is predicated upon serving the best interest of our clients. All Covered Persons must at all times reflect the professional standards expected of those engaged in the investment advisory business and shall act within the spirit and the letter of the federal, state, and local laws and regulations pertaining to investment advisors and the general conduct of business. These standards require all personnel to be judicious, accurate, objective, and reasonable in dealing with both clients and other parties so that their personal integrity is unquestionable. The Code of Ethics is certified annually with Covered Persons of the Firm. For a copy of the Code of Ethics, a written request should be sent to 1250 S. Pine Island Road, Ste. 350, Plantation, FL 33324, Attention: Greg Reymann. On occasion, the Advisor may buy or sell securities that it recommends to clients or may recommend securities transactions in which the Advisor or its Covered Persons has some financial interest. This practice would create a conflict of interest if the transactions were structured to trade on the market causing an impact on recommendations made to the Advisor’s clients. 10 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 The Managing Principal reviews Covered Persons’ personal transactions quarterly. The Advisor’s Code of Ethics requires pre-approval of personal transactions in some cases. The Advisor believes that it has adopted sufficient controls so that personal transactions are consistent with advice given to clients. Review of Accounts The client’s custodian broker-dealer will deliver account statements to clients at least quarterly. Account statements include a summary of account performance. Portfolio performance summaries provide historical information regarding a client’s investments and should not be relied upon as a predictive of future performance. The value of securities held in a client’s portfolio will be valued by the custodian, broker-dealer, or other investment vendor. Some investments, such as alternative investments or private placements, values are based upon the value provided by the investment’s manager, which may be monthly, quarterly, but not less than annually; often, these values are estimates made by the alternative investment’s manager and may not be the liquidation value. The Managing Principal reviews client account activity no less than quarterly. The level of review is determined by the complexity of the portfolio at the discretion of the Advisor’s Managing Principal. Other factors that may trigger review are changes in economic or market conditions, and individual client situations. Client Referrals and Other Compensation The Advisor maintains referral arrangements with one or more third party investment advisor to act as their solicitor for investment management services. In these instances, the third-party investment advisor will pay the Advisor compensation in connection with the arrangement. The Advisor discloses all compensation with respect to the foregoing to each referred client through a disclosure statement disclosing the terms of the specific arrangement. The Advisor pays referral fees to third parties (“Promoters”) to offer the Advisor’s advisory services or programs. Any arrangement is conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In such event, the Advisor compensates the Promoter directly if a client enters a relationship with the Advisor. This compensation is made up of a portion of the advisory fee the Advisor charges the client, which may be up to 35% of the investment advisory fee the Advisor receives. A Promoter will provide the client with a statement disclosing the terms of the Promoter’s arrangement with the Advisor. The Advisor and/or its Dually Registered Persons are incented to join and remain affiliated with LPL Financial and to recommend that clients establish accounts with LPL Financial through the provision of Transition Assistance (discussed in above and the IAR’s ADV Part 2B, Brochure Supplement). The Advisor receives research and other web-based services from product sponsors. These product sponsors do not charge the Advisor a subscription fee for their services, however their services may include recommendations for investment products they offer or manage. The Advisor may attend user conferences sponsored by the product sponsors for which they do not charge the Advisor. Because these product sponsors earn revenue from investments in their respective investment products, they do not charge the Advisor fees for these services. These discounts create a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The Advisor is approved to use mutual funds managed by the fund advisor, which the Advisor often does use, but is not bound to. 11 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 IARs may receive from LPL Financial upfront transition payments in order to assist them with transitioning their business onto the LPL Financial custodial platform. These funds may be used, but not necessarily limited to, offsetting things like ACAT fees, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationary and licensure transfer fees. This presents a conflict of interest in that the IAR has a financial incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with LPL Financial. However, to the extent an IAR recommends you use LPL Financial for such services, it is because the IAR believes that it is in your best interest to do so based on the quality and pricing of the execution, benefits of an integrated platform for brokerage and advisory accounts, and other services provided by LPL Financial. Please see detailed discussion of the potential conflicts of interest in your IAR’s ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement. The Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by the Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest. Research & Other Soft Dollar Benefits Clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”) to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. LPL is not affiliated with the Advisor. LPL Financial provides brokerage and custodial services to independent investment advisory firms, including the Advisor. For the Advisor’s accounts custodied at LPL Financial, LPL Financial generally is compensated through commissions, trails, or other transaction-based fees for trades that are executed through LPL Financial or that settle into LPL Financial accounts. For IRA accounts, LPL Financial generally charges account maintenance fees. LPL Financial charges the Advisor an asset-based administration fee for administrative services provided by LPL Financial. Such administration fees are not directly borne by clients but may be considered when the Advisor negotiates its advisory fee with clients. LPL also makes available to the Advisor other products and services that benefit the Advisor but may not directly benefit its clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or some substantial number of clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at LPL. Services provided by LPL to the Advisor include research (including mutual fund research, third-party research, and LPL’s proprietary research), brokerage, custody, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. In addition, LPL makes available software and other technologies that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution, provide research, pricing information, quotation services, and other market data, assist with contact management, facilitate payment of fees to the firm from client accounts, assist with performance reporting, facilitate trade allocation, and assist with back-office support, record-keeping, and client reporting. LPL also provides access to financial planning software, practice management consulting support, best execution assistance, consolidated statements assistance, marketing and educational materials, technological and information technology support, and LPL corporate discounts. Many of these services may be used to service all or a substantial number of the Advisor’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at LPL. 12 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025 LPL provides the Advisor with other services intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business. Some of these services assist the Advisor to better monitor and service program accounts maintained at LPL Financial, however, many of these services benefit only the Advisor, for example, services that assist the Advisor in growing its business. These support services and/or products may be provided without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate, and include practice management-related publications; consulting services; attendance at conferences and seminars, meetings, and other educational and/or social events; marketing support; and other products and services used by the Advisor in furtherance of the operation and development of its investment advisory business. LPL provides other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of the Advisor’s personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that clients custody their assets at LPL, the Advisor may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products, services, and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely the nature, cost, or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by the client’s broker-dealer, which may create a potential conflict of interest. The Advisor addresses this conflict by conducting quarterly reviews of a sampling of execution quality and annual reviews of commission rates, trade error rates, quality of client reporting, block trading, reputation, and financial strength of the broker-dealer. The quarterly and annual reviews include a comparison to other industry participants offering the same or similar services. Custody The Advisor has custody of clients’ funds to the extent that it has the ability to deduct fees from clients’ accounts. The custodian will send quarterly account statements to clients. Neither the Advisor nor its associated persons will accept delivery of the client’s securities or funds in the name of the Advisor or its associated person. The Advisor is deemed to have custody when clients authorize us via standing letters of instruction to direct funds to third parties from their custodial accounts. In connection with standing letters of instruction a client must provide signed written instruction to the custodian to direct transfers to a third party, which the client may instruct the custodian to terminate or change at any time. The Advisor has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s instruction. The custodian will verify the instruction with an initial notice, provide the client with a transfer of funds notice promptly after each transfer, and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. The Advisor and its affiliates may not accept funds in connection with standing letters of instruction, nor may funds be delivered to locations where the Advisor or its affiliates conduct business. Executing broker-dealers, custodians, or other investment vendors provide account statements and confirmations. The Advisor urges clients to compare statements received from custodians with any reports the Advisor may provide. If there are any differences, please contact the Advisor immediately for resolution. Financial Information The Advisor has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to its clients nor has it been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 13 LWMAS-ADV 2AII – 03/2025

The Advisor is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. Tony DuBose is Legacy Wealth Management, Inc.’s Managing Principal and indirect owner. Advisory services are tailored to clients’ specific situations by following a disciplined consultative process. The Advisor analyzes and assesses clients’ current situations and determines recommendations on how to proceed in investing to meet their goals. A client’s Investment Policy Statement may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or groups of securities, or a client may impose such restrictions by indicating any restrictions in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Advisory services include portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting services. This Wrap Brochure provides information about the Advisor and its advisory services under its Legacy Managed Portfolio III program. Other investment advisory services offered by the Advisor are described in detail in the Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure. Services The Advisor provides clients with access to the investment advisory services of third-party professional portfolio management firms for the individual management of client accounts. As part of this process, the Advisor assists clients in identifying an appropriate unaffiliated third-party money manager (“Separate Account Manager”). The Advisor provides initial due diligence on Separate Account Managers and ongoing reviews of their management of clients’ accounts. In order to assist a client in the selection of a Separate Account Manager, the Advisor gathers information from the client about their financial situation, investment objectives, and reasonable restrictions they can impose on the management of the account, which are often very limited. It is important to note that the Advisor does not offer advice on any specific securities or other investments in connection with this service. Investment advice and trading of securities is only offered by or through the Separate Account Managers to clients. The Advisor periodically reviews Separate Account Managers’ reports provided to the client, but no less often than on an annual basis. The Advisor’s IARs may contact a client from time to time, as agreed to with the client, in order to review their financial situation and objectives; communicate information to Separate Account Managers as warranted; and assist the client in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the Separate Account Manager. The client will be expected to notify us of any changes in his/her financial situation, investment objectives, or account restrictions that could affect their account. The client may also directly contact the Separate Account Manager managing the account or sponsoring the program. Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”) acts as the custodian for clients’ accounts and provides brokerage and execution services as the broker-dealer on account transactions, and performs administrative services, such as quarterly performance reporting to clients. 1 Registration does not imply a certain level of skill or training. 3 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 Fees and Compensation The client pays the Advisor a single wrap fee (“Advisory Fee”) for advisory and brokerage and trade execution services. The client pays the Separate Account Manager separately (“SAM Fee”). The Advisory Fee is based on the value of assets managed, calculated as a percentage of assets under management. This fee is compensation for advisory services and portfolio management fees rendered by the Advisor as well as charges for execution and transaction services provided by Pershing. The Advisory Fee is negotiable between the client and the Advisor and is set out in the Investment Advisory Agreement. The SAM Fee is compensation for advisory services and portfolio management fees rendered by the Separate Account Manager. There is a minimum investment of $250,000, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. The Advisor and SMA combined fee is no more than 2.00% annually for their services. The amount of the Advisory Fee will be set out in the Investment Advisory Agreement executed by the client at the time the relationship is established. The amount of the SAM Fee will be set out in the Separate Account Manager agreement executed by the client at the time the relationship is established. The Advisory Fee is negotiated on a client-by-client basis depending on the size, complexity and nature of the portfolio managed and will be set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Because Advisory Fees are negotiated, not all clients will pay the same fees. A client may pay a higher or lower Advisory Fee depending on considerations such as the size of the client’s account, the amount of time the client has maintained an account with the Advisor, and/or the combined market value of related portfolios. While the Advisor believes that its Advisory Fees are competitive, clients may find lower or higher fees for comparable services from other sources. Although the client does not directly pay charges for execution and transactions, clients should be aware that from the Advisory Fee paid to the Advisor, the Advisor pays the client’s custodian broker-dealer for the client’s custodian broker-dealer’s related charges associated with the client’s account and Separate Account Manager for advisory services provided. The Advisor retains the remaining portion as compensation for its advisory services and portfolio management. These transaction charges paid by the Advisor to the client’s custodian broker-dealer vary based on the type of transaction. SAM fees to Separate Account Managers vary by the Separate Account Manager chosen. The Advisor instructs the client’s custodian broker-dealer to deduct the Advisory Fee quarterly in advance from the client’s brokerage account, unless other arrangements are set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. If the Investment Advisory Agreement is terminated before the end of the quarterly period, the Advisor will refund any pre-paid quarterly Advisory Fee on a prorated basis, based on the number of days remaining in the quarter after the termination date. However, if the account is closed within the first six months by the client or as a result of withdrawals that bring the account value below the required minimum, the Advisor reserves the right to retain the pre-paid quarterly Advisory Fee for the current quarter in order to cover the administrative costs of establishing the account (for example, the costs related to transferring positions in and out of the account, data entry in opening the account, reconciliation of positions in order to issue quarterly performance reports, and re-registration of positions). A client has the right to terminate the Advisory Agreement for investment advisory services without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the Advisory Agreement. 4 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 Thereafter, the Advisory Agreement will terminate upon the Advisor’s receipt of the client’s written notice. The Advisor may terminate providing investment advisory services upon written notice of termination to the client or upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Advisory Agreement. After the termination date, the Advisor has no responsibility to provide ongoing investment advisory services to the client. Separate written disclosures provided to the client include a copy of the Separate Account Manager’s Form ADV Part 2 and all relevant Brochures detailing the exact fees the Separate Account Manager is paid and a copy of the Separate Account Manager’s privacy policy. The Separate Account Managers the Advisor recommends will not directly charge a client a higher fee than they would have charged without the Advisor introducing the client to them. Termination provisions are also set out in the Separate Account Manager’s Disclosure Brochure. Fees Charged by Third Parties There are other fees and charges that are imposed by parties other than the Advisor and Separate Account Manager that apply to investments in Legacy Managed Portfolio III accounts. If a client’s assets are invested in mutual funds, exchange-traded products, or other pooled investment products, the client should be aware that there will be two layers of fees and expenses for those assets. The client will pay an investment management fee to the fund manager and other expenses as a shareholder of the fund. In the case of mutual funds that are fund-of-funds, there could be an additional layer of fees, including performance fees that may vary depending on the performance of the fund. The client will also pay the Advisor the Advisory Fee and Separate Account Manager the SMA fee with respect to those assets. Most of the mutual funds available in the program may be purchased directly. Therefore, a client could generally avoid the second layer of fees by not using the advisory services of the client’s custodian broker-dealer and the Advisor and by making their own decisions regarding the investment. If a client transfers a previously purchased mutual fund into a Legacy Managed Portfolio III account, and there is an applicable contingent deferred sales charge on the fund, the client will pay that charge when the mutual fund is sold. If a mutual fund has a frequent trading policy, the policy can limit a client’s transactions in shares of the fund (e.g., for rebalancing, liquidations, deposits or tax harvesting). Although the client’s custodian broker-dealer may make available no-load and load-waived mutual funds to Legacy Managed Portfolio III accounts, the client’s custodian broker-dealer receives asset-based sales charges or service fees (e.g., 12b-1 fees) from certain mutual funds. The client’s custodian broker-dealer retains these fees and they are not shared with the Advisor. Important Things to Consider About Fees on a Legacy Managed Portfolio III Account The Advisory Fee is an ongoing wrap fee for investment advisory services, which includes the cost and fees associated with the execution of transactions and other administrative and custodial services. The Advisory Fee may cost the client more than purchasing the services separately, for example, paying an advisory fee plus commissions for each transaction in the account. 5 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 Factors that bear upon the cost of the Legacy Managed Portfolio III account in relation to the cost of the same services purchased separately include the: type and size of the account; • • historical and/or expected size or number of trades for the account; and • number and range of supplementary advisory and client-related services provided to the client. The Advisor receives compensation as a result of the client’s participation in the program, which may be more than what the client would pay to another investment advisory firm. The Advisor may make amendments to the fee schedule, including negotiated fees, at any time with at least 30- days written notice to the client. Item 5 Account Requirements and Types of Clients There is a minimum investment of $250,000, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. The Legacy Managed Portfolio III account is available for individuals; pensions, Taft Hartley plans, and profit sharing plans including plans subject to Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); for-profit and non-profit corporations and other business entities; trusts; estates; and charitable organizations. Item 6 Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation The Advisor provides the client investment advice and selects Separate Account Managers for investment management in the Legacy Managed Portfolio III account. The Advisor offers other types of advisory programs, including portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting advisory services. The Advisor offers portfolio management advisory services through its Legacy Managed Portfolio I and II programs, which offer the investment advice and management to the client. However, these programs are managed by the Advisor, rather than a Separate Account Manager and under the Legacy Managed Portfolio I program, the client pays transaction charges directly to the broker-dealer custodian rather than the Advisor. The Advisor also offers separately managed portfolios that LPL Financial makes available to the Advisor where the client pays transaction charges directly to LPL. Other investment advisory services offered by the Advisor are described in detail in the Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure. The Advisor has an incentive to recommend that a client use it, rather than another portfolio manager because it will retain the Advisory Fee, therefore, it may receive higher compensation than if it recommended a non- affiliated portfolio manager. The Advisor manages this conflict by providing investment advisory services that are in its clients’ best interests. Investment Discretion The Advisor provides advisory services on a discretionary basis for the selection of third-party portfolio managers in the Legacy Managed Portfolio III program. The client authorizes the Advisor to have discretion through the Investment Advisory Agreement. 6 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies The advisor utilizes internal and third-party independent research, economic conferences, due diligence conference calls and meetings, and the LWMAS Investment Committee consensus to recommend Separate Account Managers to this program. Factors the Advisor may consider are investment style vs mandate, manager tenure, parent firm history, performance relative to a relative benchmark, and prevailing foreseeable risks and/or conflicts. Clients are advised and should understand that: Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear; • • Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss; • Past performance is not a guarantee of future results; • Market conditions, interest rates, and other investment related risks may cause losses in their portfolio; • Risk parameters established for their portfolio are guidelines only – the selected risk parameters may be exceeded and index comparisons may outperform their portfolio; • Their portfolio’s value is subject to a variety of factors, such as liquidity and volatility of the securities markets; • • There may be a higher level of risk with leveraged and inverse ETPs because to accomplish their objectives, they may pursue a range of investment strategies through the use of swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative instruments; Investing in securities with foreign currency may cause losses due to fluctuation in currency exchange rates. Investing in foreign currency may also pose risks due to factors within the foreign country, including but not limited to; political instability, changes in inflation, changes in interest rate, currency price, and liquidity constraints; • • Custodians the Advisor recommends provide clients the opportunity to invest in asset-backed loans Asset-backed loans are loans secured by the client’s brokerage account. There are certain risks associated with asset-backed loans such as market fluctuation causing the value of the client’s brokerage account to decline requiring the client to sell securities in order to maintain equity requirements and possible adverse tax consequences as a result of selling securities; Information and technology systems are vulnerable to potential damage, or interruption from computer viruses, network failure, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized and security breaches, usage error by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, flood, hurricane and earthquakes; and • The occurrences of a natural disaster or epidemic/pandemic could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect and severely disrupt the business operations, economics, and financial markets. The Advisor’s advisory services include portfolio management, third party money management selection, financial planning, consulting, and separately managed account advisory services. The Advisor’s ADV Part 2A Brochure provides information about the Advisor and its advisory services. The following types of investments may be used in the Legacy Managed Portfolio III program: equity securities, warrants, options, debt securities, REITs, mutual funds, closed end funds, ETFs, ETNs, unit investment trusts, private placements, limited partnerships, structured products, alternative investments, CDs, MLPs, annuities and life insurance contracts. 7 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 Performance-Based Fees The Advisor does not accept performance-based fees, which are fees based on a share of capital gains or appreciation of the assets of a client. Side-By-Side Management Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. The Advisor does not participate in side-by-side management. Voting Client Securities The Advisor does not vote proxies on behalf of client securities. A Separate Account Manager may vote proxies on behalf of a client as set forth in their ADV Part 2A. Item 7 Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers The Advisor obtains the client’s financial information, risk tolerance and investment objectives to determine the Separate Account Managers utilized to manage the client’s Legacy Managed Portfolio III program account. The Advisor will contact the client periodically to review the client’s Legacy Managed Portfolio III program account and determine whether there have been any changes to the client’s situation. Item 8 Client Contact with Portfolio Managers No restrictions are placed on a client’s ability to contact and consult with the Advisor regarding the Legacy Managed Portfolio III program. Item 9 Additional Information Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose specific information related to certain legal or regulatory events that may be material to choosing an advisor. The Advisor and its Covered Persons have not been the subject of any material legal or disciplinary proceedings. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Investment advisor representatives (“IAR”) of the Advisor are Dually Registered Persons with LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”). LPL is a broker-dealer that is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with the Advisor. Please refer below for a discussion of the benefits the Advisor may receive from LPL and the conflicts of interest associated with receipt of such benefits. For non-advisory accounts held at LPL, a LWM Advisory Services, LLC, IAR receives commissions on securities transactions as a registered representative because of their affiliation with LPL. Notwithstanding the IARs’ affiliation with LPL, the Advisor is solely responsible for the investment advice rendered. Advisory services are provided separately and independently of the brokerage services the IARs offer through LPL unless otherwise 8 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 disclosed. The potential for the receipt of commissions or advisory fees may give an IAR an incentive to recommend an investment or investment services based on the compensation received, rather than on the client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered and IARs must recommend securities products that are suitable for the client. Further, IARs do not earn commissions on the sale of securities or investment products recommended or purchased in advisory accounts. Clients may direct any questions regarding the compensation their IAR receives when recommending a product to their IAR. Clients are under no obligation to purchase investment products through their IAR. Certain IARs are insurance licensed in one or more states and may recommend the purchase of insurance products through an affiliated company of LPL or other insurance companies and agencies. Such IARs receive commissions for the sale of such insurance products. The ability to receive commissions from the sale of insurance products presents a conflict of interest, in that it gives an incentive to recommend a particular insurance product over a different insurance product or a different investment, based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered. As discussed previously, certain Covered Persons of the Advisor are registered representatives of LPL. As a result of this relationship, LPL has access to certain confidential information (e.g., financial information, investment objectives, transactions and holdings) about a client of the Advisor, even if the client does not establish any account through LPL. If you would like a copy of the LPL privacy policy, please contact your IAR or Greg Reymann, Chief Compliance Officer, at (813) 497-1400 or cs@lwmfl.com. Legacy Wealth Management, d.b.a. Legacy Retirement Plan Advisors, is a retirement plan consulting firm that provides plan sponsor due diligence support, participant education and investment fiduciary services. Account services are billed separately according to an engagement letter agreed upon by the client and are not offered through the Advisor. The Advisor is affiliated with Legacy Wealth, LLC, a doing-business-as name for Legacy Wealth Management, Inc., the Advisor sole member. Legacy Wealth, LLC, is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. and is managed by Tony DuBose. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading LWM Advisory Services, LLC has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) pursuant to industry standards. The Code is predicated upon serving the best interest of our clients. All Covered Persons must at all times reflect the professional standards expected of those engaged in the investment advisory business and shall act within the spirit and the letter of the federal, state, and local laws and regulations pertaining to investment advisors and the general conduct of business. These standards require all personnel to be judicious, accurate, objective, and reasonable in dealing with both clients and other parties so that their personal integrity is unquestionable. The Code of Ethics is certified annually with Covered Persons of the Firm. For a copy of the Code of Ethics, a written request should be sent to 1250 S. Pine Island Road, Ste. 350, Plantation, FL 33324, Attention: Greg Reymann. On occasion, the Advisor may buy or sell securities that it recommends to clients or may recommend securities transactions in which the Advisor or its Covered Persons has some financial interest. This practice would create 9 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 a conflict of interest if the transactions were structured to trade on the market causing an impact on recommendations made to the Advisor’s clients. The Managing Principal reviews Covered Persons’ personal transactions quarterly. The Advisor’s Code of Ethics requires pre-approval of personal transactions in some cases. The Advisor believes that it has adopted sufficient controls so that personal transactions are consistent with advice given to clients. Review of Accounts The client’s custodian broker-dealer will deliver account statements to clients at least quarterly. Account statements include a summary of account performance. Portfolio performance summaries provide historical information regarding a client’s investments and should not be relied upon as predictive of future performance. The value of securities held in a client’s portfolio will be valued by the custodian, broker-dealer, or other investment vendor. Some investments, such as alternative investments or private placements, values are based upon the value provided by the investment’s manager, which may be monthly, quarterly, but not less than annually; often, these values are estimates made by the alternative investment’s manager and may not be the liquidation value. The Managing Principal reviews client account activity no less than quarterly. The level of review is determined by the complexity of the portfolio at the discretion of the Advisor’s Managing Principal. Other factors that may trigger review are changes in economic or market conditions, and individual client situations. Client Referrals and Other Compensation The Advisor maintains referral arrangements with one or more third party investment advisors to act as their solicitor for investment management services. In these instances, the third-party investment advisor will pay the Advisor compensation in connection with the arrangement. The Advisor discloses all compensation with respect to the foregoing to each referred client through a disclosure statement disclosing the terms of the specific arrangement. The Advisor pays referral fees to third parties (“Promoters”) to offer the Advisor’s advisory services or programs. Any arrangement is conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In such event, the Advisor compensates the Promoter directly if a client enters a relationship with the Advisor. This compensation is made up of a portion of the advisory fee the Advisor charges the client, which may be up to 35% of the investment advisory fee the Advisor receives. A Promoter will provide the client with a statement disclosing the terms of the Promoter’s arrangement with the Advisor. The Advisor and/or its Dually Registered Persons are incented to join and remain affiliated with LPL Financial and to recommend that clients establish accounts with LPL Financial through the provision of Transition Assistance (discussed above and in the IAR’s ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement). The Advisor receives research and other web-based services from product sponsors. These product sponsors do not charge the Advisor a subscription fee for their services, however their services may include recommendations for investment products they offer or manage. The Advisor may attend user conferences sponsored by the product sponsors for which they do not charge the Advisor. Because these product sponsors earn revenue from investments in their respective investment products, they do not charge the Advisor fees for these services. These discounts create a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The Advisor is approved to use mutual funds managed by the fund advisor, which the Advisor often does use, but is not bound to. 10 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 IARs may receive from LPL Financial upfront transition payments in order to assist them with transitioning their business onto the LPL Financial custodial platform. These funds may be used, but not necessarily limited to, offsetting things like ACAT fees, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationery and licensure transfer fees. This presents a conflict of interest in that the IAR has a financial incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with LPL Financial. However, to the extent an IAR recommends you use LPL Financial for such services, it is because the IAR believes it is in your best interest to do so based on the quality and pricing of the execution, benefits of an integrated platform for brokerage and advisory accounts, and other services provided by LPL Financial. Please see detailed discussion of the potential conflicts of interest in your IAR’s ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement. The Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by the Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest. Research & Other Soft Dollar Benefits Clients establish brokerage accounts with Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”) a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. Pershing is not affiliated with the Advisor. Pershing provides the Advisor with access to its institutional trading and operations services. These services are generally available, without cost, to financial advisory firms who maintain a minimum threshold of client assets with Pershing. The trading fees Pershing charges to clients, which may change from time to time, are set forth in the client’s investment advisory agreement. Pershing offers to independent investment advisors services that include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. There is no direct link between the Advisor’s recommendation of Pershing and the investment advice it gives to its clients, although the Advisor receives economic benefits through its participation in the program. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk serving the Advisor participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from client accounts; and access to an electronic communications network for client order entry and account information. Some of the products and services made available by Pershing may benefit the Advisor but may not benefit its client accounts. These products or services may assist Advisor in managing and administering client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Pershing. Other services made available by Pershing are intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by the Advisor, or its personnel do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Pershing, however the Advisor is subject to maintain a minimum of assets under management with Pershing in order to avoid paying a platform fee to utilize its services. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence the Advisor’s choice of Pershing for custody and brokerage services. 11 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 For the Advisor’s accounts held at Pershing, Pershing is compensated through commissions, trails, or other transaction-based fees for trades that are executed through Pershing or that settle into Pershing accounts. For IRA accounts, Pershing generally charges account maintenance fees. Pershing charges the Advisor an asset- based administration fee for administrative services provided by Pershing. Such administration fees are not directly borne by clients but may be considered when the Advisor negotiates its advisory fee with clients. Pershing also makes available to the Advisor other products and services that benefit the Advisor but may not directly benefit its clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or some substantial number of clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Pershing. Services provided by Pershing to the Advisor include research (including mutual fund research, third-party research, and LPL’s proprietary research), brokerage, custody, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. In addition, Pershing makes available software and other technologies that provide accessto client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution, provide research, pricing information, quotation services, and other market data, assist with contact management, facilitate payment of fees to the firm from client accounts, assist with performance reporting, facilitate trade allocation, and assist with back-office support, record-keeping, and client reporting. Pershingalso provides access to practice management consulting support, best execution assistance, consolidated statements assistance, marketing and educational materials, technological and information technology support, and LPL corporate discounts. Many of these services may be used to service all or a substantial number of the Advisor’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at Pershing. Pershing provides the Advisor with other services intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business. Some of these services assist the Advisor to better monitor and service program accounts maintained at Pershing, however, many of these services benefit only the Advisor, for example, services that assist the Advisor in growing its business. These support services and/or products may be provided without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate, and include practice management-related publications; consulting services; attendance at conferences and seminars, meetings, and other educational and/or social events; marketing support; and other products and services used by the Advisor in furtherance of the operation and development of its investment advisory business. Pershing provides other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of the Advisor’s personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that clients custody their assets at Pershing, the Advisor may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products, services, and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely the nature, cost, or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by the client’s broker-dealer, which may create a potential conflict of interest. The Advisor addresses this conflict by conducting quarterly reviews of a sampling of execution quality and annual reviews of commission rates, trade error rates, quality of client reporting, block trading, reputation, and financial strength of the broker-dealer. The quarterly and annual reviews include a comparison to other industry participants offering the same or similar services. Custody The Advisor has custody of clients’ funds to the extent that it has the ability to deduct fees from clients’ accounts. The custodian will send quarterly account statements to clients. 12 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025 Neither the Advisor nor its associated persons will accept delivery of the client’s securities or funds in the name of the Advisor or its associated person. The Advisor is deemed to have custody when clients authorize us via standing letters of instruction to direct funds to third-parties from their custodial accounts. In connection with standing letters of instruction a client must provide signed written instruction to the custodian to direct transfers to a third party, which the client may instruct the custodian to terminate or change at any time. The Advisor has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s instruction. The custodian will verify the instruction with an initial notice, provide the client with a transfer of funds notice promptly after each transfer, and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. The Advisor and its affiliates may not accept funds in connection with standing letters of instruction, nor may funds be delivered to locations where the Advisor or its affiliates conduct business. Executing broker-dealers, custodians, or other investment vendors provide account statements and confirmations. The Advisor urges clients to compare statements received from custodians with any reports the Advisor may provide. If there are any differences, please contact the Advisor immediately for resolution. Financial Information The Advisor has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to its clients nor has it been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 13 LWMAS-ADV 2AIII –03/2025

The Advisor is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. Tony DuBose is Legacy Wealth Management, Inc.’s Managing Principal and indirect owner. The Firm provides fee based nondiscretionary investment advisory services to clients that are trustees or other fiduciaries to retirement plans (“Plan”) subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). The Firm performs one or more of the following services, as set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Plan client: • Assists Plan client with selection of Third-Party Administrators (“TPA”) and plan design; • Conducts Plan participant enrollment meetings; • Provides general education to Plan participants about investment principles and financial planning (the Advisor does not provide any advice or recommendations with respect to Plan participants’ selection of investments); • Reviews Plan investment choices and provides recommendations of investments to include in Plan-to- Plan client; • Assists Plan client in the development of monitoring criteria for Plan assets; • Provide 3(21) Investment Advisor Services (non-discretionary authority) • Provide 3(38) investment management Services (discretionary authority); and • Recommends 3(38) service providers to Plan client, where applicable. For Plan clients the Advisor limits its advice to investments in mutual funds, exchange traded funds (“ETF”), and annuities. The Advisor provides nondiscretionary investment advisory services to Plan clients as an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and is a fiduciary under the Advisers Act with respect to such services. In addition, if Plan client elects to engage the Advisor to perform ongoing investment monitoring and ongoing investment recommendation services to a Plan subject to ERISA in the client agreement, such services will constitute “investment advice” under the expanded Department of Labor definition and Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA. Therefore, the Advisor will be deemed a “fiduciary” as such term is defined under Section 3(21)(A)(ii) of ERISA in connection with those services. Plan clients should understand that to the extent the Advisor is engaged to perform services other than ongoing investment monitoring and recommendations, those services are not “investment advice” under ERISA and therefore, the Advisor will not be a “fiduciary” under ERISA with respect to those other services. 3 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 From time to time the Advisor may make the Plan client or Plan participants aware of and may offer services available from the Advisor that are separate and apart from the services described herein. Such other services may be services to the Plan, to a Plan client with respect to Plan client's responsibilities to the Plan and/or to one or more Plan participants. In offering any such services, the Advisor is not providing the services discussed herein or acting as a fiduciary under ERISA with respect to such offering of services. If any such separate services are offered to a client, the client will make an independent assessment of such services without reliance on the advice or judgment of the Advisor. A separate client relationship may develop with the Advisor in any of the following ways: • As a result of a Plan participant determining to purchase services from the Advisor not involving the Plan assets; • As part of a financial plan, where any specific recommendations relate exclusively to assets held outside of the Plan; or • Through a Plan participant’s retirement account rollover. If a client relationship develops with a Plan participant apart from the Plan, the Advisor will complete a separate investment advisory agreement with the Plan participant that will exclude investment advice on Plan assets. The Plan participant will retain sole discretionary authority regarding whether to rollover his or her employer sponsored retirement account. As of December 31, 2024, Advisor managed $661,673,731 in client assets on a discretionary basis and $176,175,479 on a non-discretionary basis. The Advisor also managed $138,542,533 in client assets under advisement. The Advisor also provides portfolio management, develops financial plans, and assists individual clients on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. Full descriptions of these programs are available in the Advisors ADV Part 2A Brochure, which is available upon request. Item 5 Fees and Compensation Legacy Managed Portfolio I Program Investment Advisory Fees Investment advisory fees for portfolio management services are based on the value of assets managed by the Advisor, calculated as a percentage of assets under management. This fee is compensation for advisory services and portfolio management rendered by the Advisor. There is a minimum investment of $100,000, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. The Advisor charges a fee of no more than 2.00% annually for its portfolio management services. The amount of the investment advisory fee will be set out in the Investment Advisory Agreement executed by the client at the time the relationship is established. 4 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 The investment advisory fee is negotiated on a client-by-client basis depending on the size, complexity, and nature of the portfolio managed and will be set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Because the investment advisory fees are negotiated, not all clients will pay the same fees. A client may pay a higher or lower fee depending on considerations such as the size of the client’s account, the amount of time the client has maintained an account with the Advisor (or its affiliated representatives), and/or the combined market value of related portfolios. While the Advisor believes that its investment advisory fees are competitive, clients may find lower or higher fees for comparable services from other sources. Investment advisory fees are charged quarterly in arrears as a percentage of the portfolio value on the last business day of the quarter or the last value provided by the custodian of the quarter. These asset-based fees are assessed on all billable assets under management, including securities, cash, and money market funds. The initial fee will be pro-rated based upon the number of days from the first day of management to the end of the quarter. The Advisor may make amendments to the investment advisory fee outlined in the Investment Advisory Agreement at any time with at least 30-days written notice to the client. Automatic Debiting of Investment Advisory Fees Upon establishing an account with the Advisor, the client will authorize and direct the client’s custodian broker- dealer to debit the client’s account each investment advisory fee payable from the account, which will result in the client’s custodian broker-dealer sending the investment advisory fee payable directly to the Advisor. At the beginning of the quarter, the Advisor will direct the client’s custodian broker-dealer to debit the client’s designated account(s) the amount of the investment advisory fee. If the client’s account does not maintain a sufficient cash or money market balance to cover the investment advisory fees or is restricted from automatic debiting of fees, the client may deposit additional funds (subject to certain restrictions for IRA accounts and Qualified Retirement Plans) or make payment in an alternative manner acceptable to the Advisor. If such funds are not deposited, certain securities in the client’s account may be liquidated in an amount sufficient to cover such debits. Brokerage Account Fees The Advisor’s investment advisory fees are separate from charges assessed by third parties, such as broker- dealers, custodians, or mutual fund companies. A client will incur brokerage and other transaction costs charged by broker-dealer(s) executing the transactions and the custodians maintaining the client’s assets. These costs may include, but are not limited to, brokerage transaction and money movement costs, commissions, ticket charges, fed fund wire fees, custodial fees, IRA custodial fees, safekeeping fees, and margin interest. These costs are in addition to the Advisor’s investment advisory fees and are not shared with the Advisor. 5 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 Mutual funds charge an investment management fee, which is in addition to the investment advisory fee a client pays to the Advisor. Some funds also assess administrative fees and 12b-1 fees. The Advisor does not receive any portion of these fees. These fees are in addition to the investment advisory fees the Advisor charges. The client does not pay these fees directly; rather, they are deducted from the mutual funds’ assets and will affect the performance of the investments. These funds’ advisory, administrative, and 12b-1 fees are described in the funds’ prospectuses. Mutual fund share prices and execution costs differ based on share class. The Advisor will review the cost of a fund’s share classes in conjunction with execution costs to assure that it meets its fiduciary duty to obtain best execution. When investing in exchange traded products (“ETP”), e.g., ETF and ETN, a client will bear the ETP’s proportionate share of fees and expenses as an investor in the ETP. The client does not pay these fees directly; rather they are deducted from the ETP’s assets and will affect the performance of the investment. The Advisor recommends that clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”) or Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”), FINRA-registered broker-dealers, members SIPC, to maintain custody of their assets and to effect trades for their accounts. Clients should review the expenses associated with each custodian prior to determining which custodian to choose, as fees differ among custodians and the client could pay higher fees with one custodian over another. LPL makes certain mutual funds and ETFs available to the Advisor for no transaction fee (“NTF Securities”). Clients should understand that while the Advisor attempts to utilize NTF Securities to lower costs to clients, the Advisor’s investment selections will include mutual funds and ETFs that incur trading fees. Such decisions have an impact on the investment performance of the client’s account. A client choosing an alternate broker-dealer may result in additional expenses, fees, and lack of efficiency in reporting account information because the Advisor has established relationships with LPL, Pershing, and City National Rochdale to facilitate certain additional services, which are outlined in the section “Brokerage Practices” below. Additionally, if the client does not use one of the recommended custodians, the Advisor will reserve the right not to accept the account. For information about the factors the Advisor considers in selecting and/or recommending brokerage firms, see “Brokerage Practices” below. The Advisor subscribes to research and other web-based services published by certain institutional fund advisors that manage investment products. These fund advisors do not charge the Advisor a subscription fee for its services, however its model portfolios include recommendations for investment products offered or managed by the fund advisor. The Advisor may attend user conferences sponsored by the fund advisors and have access to consultants for which they do not charge the Advisor. Because the fund advisors and its affiliates earn revenue from investments in their respective investment products, the Advisor is not charged for these services. These discounts create a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The Advisor is approved to use mutual funds managed by the fund advisor, which the Advisor often does use, but is not bound to. 6 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 Pershing Pershing provides the Advisor with access to its institutional trading and operations services. These services are generally available, without cost, to financial advisory firms who maintain a minimum threshold of client assets with Pershing. The trading fees Pershing charges to clients, which may change from time to time, are set forth in the client’s Investment Advisory Agreement. Termination A client has the right to terminate the Investment Advisory Agreement for investment advisory services without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into an Investment Advisory Agreement. Thereafter, the Investment Advisory Agreement will terminate upon the Advisor’s receipt of the client’s written notice. The Advisor may cease providing investment advisory services upon its written notice of termination of the Investment Advisory Agreement to the client or upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Upon the effective date of termination, the client will be refunded fees on a prorated share based on the remaining days of the quarter that have been prepaid. However, if the account is closed within the first six months by the client or as a result of withdrawals that bring the account value below the required minimum, the Advisor reserves the right to retain the pre-paid quarterly investment advisory fee for the current quarter in order to cover the administrative costs of establishing the account (for example, the costs related to transferring positions in and out of the account, data entry in opening the account, reconciliation of positions in order to issue quarterly performance reports, and re-registration of positions). Separately Managed Account Program Fees A client investing in separately managed account programs will pay an ongoing advisory fee to compensate the Advisor, as well as the third-party money manager. The fee charged may be up to 2.50% annually. Client fees are payable using the fee schedules and frequency set forth in the third-party money manager(s)’ Disclosure Brochure(s) and agreement(s). The client may also pay custodial fees and transaction charges, depending on the custodian selected by the third-party portfolio manager(s). There also may be additional fees of the underlying investments, such as mutual funds or ETPs, which will result in a reduction of that product’s net asset value. Separate written disclosures provided to the client include a copy of the third-party money manager’s Form ADV Part 2, all relevant Brochures, a Solicitation Disclosure Statement detailing the exact fees the Advisor is paid and a copy of the third-party money manager’s privacy policy. The third-party money managers the Advisor recommends will not directly charge a client a higher fee than they would have charged without the Advisor introducing the client to them. LPL serves as program sponsor, investment adviser, and broker-dealer for the LPL advisory programs. The Advisor and LPL Financial may share in the account fee and other fees associated with program accounts. Fees for LPL advisory programs are payable quarterly in advance. Termination provisions are also set out in the third-party money manager(s)’ Disclosure Brochure(s). 7 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 Financial Planning and Consulting Fees The Advisor charges hourly or flat rate fees for its financial planning and consulting services. The hourly charge is a maximum of $500 per hour and the flat rate fee is no more than $15,000. Fees are negotiated on a client- by-client basis depending on the size, complexity, and nature of the client’s portfolio and will be set forth in the Financial Planning or Consulting Agreement. There is no minimum asset requirement for a financial planning or consulting engagement. Upon presentation of a completed financial plan to the client, the Advisor will present an invoice reflecting the fees owed for services. For consulting services, the client is required to pay at the time of consultation with the Advisor. Termination A client has the right to terminate the Financial Planning or Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the Agreement. Thereafter, the Agreement will terminate upon the Advisor’s receipt of the client’s written notice. The Advisor may terminate providing investment advisory services upon written notice of termination to the client or upon the occurrence of certain events as described in the Financial Planning or Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement. The Advisor will present the client with an invoice for any services provided up to termination. For financial planning services, the Financial Planning Agreement automatically terminates, unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon delivery of the financial plan. For consulting services, the Investment Advisory Consulting Agreement automatically terminates, unless otherwise agreed in writing, upon final consultation with the client. Investment adviser representatives of the Advisor are also associated with LPL Financial as broker-dealer registered representatives (“Dually Registered Persons”). In their capacity as registered representatives of LPL Financial, Dually Registered Persons earn commissions for the sale of securities or investment products that they recommend for brokerage clients. They do not earn commissions on the sale of securities or investment products recommended or purchased in advisory accounts through the Advisor. Clients have the option of purchasing many of the securities and investment products the Advisor makes available to its clients through another broker-dealer or investment adviser. However, when purchasing these securities and investment products away from the Advisor, the client will not receive the benefit of the advice and other services the Advisor provides. Item 6 Performance Based Fees and Side by Side Management Performance-Based Fees The Advisor does not accept performance-based fees, which are fees based on a share of capital gains or appreciation of the assets of a client. Side-By-Side Management Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts for which an advisor charges performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. The Advisor does not participate in side-by-side management. 8 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 Item 7 Types of Clients The Advisor generally offers advisory services to individuals; pensions, Taft Hartley plans, and profit-sharing plans including plans subject to Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”); for-profit and non-profit corporations, and other business entities; trusts; estates; and charitable organizations. There is a minimum investment of $100,000 for the Legacy Managed Portfolio program, although the Advisor may accept smaller accounts at its discretion. Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss The Advisor’s investment strategies include both strategic and tactical asset allocation as well as an unconstrained approach. All our strategies begin with a top-down macroeconomic view of the capital markets and capital trends. The Advisor constructs portfolios based on our views of those markets over a three to five- year time horizon but with watchful eye on how short-term events impact risk. Strategic and Tactical allocation models stay largely invested at all times while the unconstrained approach will utilize cash as a defensive tool during periods of high volatility and/or risk. The Advisor will also utilize hedging strategies where appropriate. Resources include multiple third-party independent research (both paid and non-paid), economic conferences, due diligence meetings, and technical analysis. Factors the Advisor considers include, but are not limited to, market trend analysis, valuation considerations, capital fund flows, current economic conditions, and prevailing foreseeable risks and/or conflicts. Clients are advised and should understand that: Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear; • • Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss; • Past performance is not a guarantee of future results; • Market conditions, interest rates, and other investment-related risks may cause losses in their portfolio; • Risk parameters established for their portfolio are guidelines only – the selected risk parameters may be exceeded and index comparisons may outperform their portfolio; • Their portfolio’s value is subject to a variety of factors, such as liquidity and volatility of the securities markets; • • There may be a higher level of risk with leveraged and inverse ETPs because, to accomplish their objectives, they may pursue a range of investment strategies through the use of swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative instruments; Investing in securities with foreign currency may cause losses due to fluctuation in currency exchange rates. Investing in foreign currency may also pose risks due to factors within the foreign country, including but not limited to; political instability, changes in inflation, changes in interest rate, currency price, and liquidity constraints; • Custodians the Advisor recommends provide clients the opportunity to invest in asset-backed loans Asset-backed loans are loans secured by the client’s brokerage account. There are certain risks associated with asset-backed loans such as market fluctuation causing the value of the client’s brokerage account to decline requiring the client to sell securities in order to maintain equity requirements and possible adverse tax consequences as a result of selling securities; 9 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 • Information and technology systems are vulnerable to potential damage, or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized and security breaches, usage errors by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes; and • The occurrences of a natural disaster or epidemic/pandemic could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect and severely disrupt the business operations, economics, and financial markets. Item 9 Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisors are required to disclose specific information related to certain legal or regulatory events that may be material to choosing an advisor. The Advisor and its Covered Persons have not been the subject of any material legal or disciplinary proceedings. Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Certain employees of the Advisor are Dually Registered Persons. LPL Financial is a broker-dealer that is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with the Advisor. Please refer to Item 12 for a discussion of the benefits the Advisor receives from LPL Financial, and the conflicts of interest associated with receipt of such benefits. For non-advisory accounts held at LPL, a LWM Advisory Services, LLC IAR receives commissions on securities transactions as a registered representative through his/her affiliation with LPL. Notwithstanding the IAR’s affiliation with LPL, the Advisor is solely responsible for the investment advice rendered. Advisory services are provided separately and independently of the brokerage services the IARs offer through LPL unless otherwise disclosed. The potential for the receipt of commissions or advisory fees may give an IAR an incentive to recommend an investment or investment services based on the compensation received, rather than on the client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered and IARs must recommend securities products that are suitable for the client. Further, IARs do not earn commissions on the sale of securities or investment products recommended or purchased in advisory accounts. Clients may direct any questions regarding the compensation their IAR receives when recommending a product to their IAR. Clients are under no obligation to purchase investment products through their IAR. Certain IARs are insurance licensed in one or more states and may recommend the purchase of insurance products through an affiliated company of LPL or other insurance companies and agencies. Such IARs receive commissions for the sale of such insurance products. The ability to receive commissions from the sale of insurance products presents a conflict of interest, in that it gives an incentive to recommend a particular insurance product over a different insurance product or a different investment, based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. The Advisor addresses these conflicts by disclosing this potential conflict to clients to assure that their interests are considered. As discussed previously, certain Covered Persons of the Advisor are registered representatives of LPL. As a result of this relationship, LPL has access to certain confidential information (e.g., financial information, investment objectives, transactions, and holdings) about a client of the Advisor, even if the client does not establish any account through LPL. If you would like a copy of the LPL privacy policy, please contact your IAR or Greg Reymann, Chief Compliance Officer, at (813) 497-1400 or cs@lwmfl.com. 10 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 Legacy Wealth Management, Inc., d.b.a. Legacy Retirement Plan Advisors is a retirement plan consulting firm that provides plan sponsor due diligence support, participant education and investment fiduciary services. Account services are billed separately according to an engagement letter agreed upon by the client and are not offered through the Advisor. The Advisor is affiliated with Legacy Wealth, LLC, a doing-business-as name for Legacy Wealth Management, Inc., the Advisor sole member. Legacy Wealth, LLC is wholly owned by Legacy Wealth Management, Inc. and is managed by Tony DuBose. Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading LWM Advisory Services, LLC has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) pursuant to industry standards. The Code is predicated upon serving the best interest of our clients. All Covered Persons must at all times reflect the professional standards expected of those engaged in the investment advisory business and shall act within the spirit and the letter of the federal, state, and local laws and regulations pertaining to investment advisors and the general conduct of business. These standards require all personnel to be judicious, accurate, objective, and reasonable in dealing with both clients and other parties so that their personal integrity is unquestionable. The Code of Ethics is certified annually with Covered Persons of the Firm. For a copy of the Code of Ethics, a written request should be sent to 1250 S. Pine Island Road, Ste. 350, Plantation, FL 33324, Attention: Greg Reymann. On occasion, the Advisor may buy or sell securities that it recommends to clients or may recommend securities transactions in which the Advisor or its Covered Persons has some financial interest. This practice would create a conflict of interest if the transactions were structured to trade on the market causing an impact on recommendations made to the Advisor’s clients. The Chief Compliance Officer reviews Covered Persons’ personal transactions quarterly. The Advisor’s Code of Ethics requires pre-approval of personal transactions in some cases. The Advisor believes that it has adopted sufficient controls so that personal transactions are consistent with advice given to clients. Item 12 Brokerage Practices LWM Advisory Services, LLC does not provide brokerage services. The Advisor may recommend clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL Financial LLC (“LPL”) or Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”) to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. LPL and Pershing are not affiliated. LPL Financial LLC The Advisor may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with LPL, a FINRA-registered broker- dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. LPL Financial provides brokerage and custodial services to independent investment advisory firms, including the Advisor. For the Advisor’s accounts custodied at LPL Financial, LPL Financial is compensated by clients through commissions, 11 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 trails, or other transaction-based fees for trades that are executed through LPL Financial or that settle into LPL Financial accounts. For IRA accounts, LPL Financial generally charges account maintenance fees. In addition, LPL Financial also charges clients miscellaneous fees and charges, such as account transfer fees. Although the Advisor may recommend that clients establish accounts at LPL, it is a client’s decision to custody assets with LPL or another custodian. The Advisor is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with or supervised by LPL. While LPL Financial does not participate in, or influence the formulation of, the investment advice the Advisor provides, certain supervised persons of the Advisor are Dually Registered Persons. Dually Registered Persons are restricted by certain FINRA rules and policies from maintaining client accounts at another custodian or executing client transactions in such client accounts through any broker-dealer or custodian that is not approved by LPL Financial. As a result, the use of other trading platforms must be approved not only by the Advisor, but also by LPL Financial. Clients should understand that not all investment advisers recommend that clients custody their accounts and trade through specific broker-dealers. Clients may utilize the broker-dealer of their choice and have no obligation to purchase or sell securities through LPL. However, if a client does not use LPL, the Advisor will reserve the right not to accept the account. LPL is obligated to seek the best execution pursuant to FINRA Rule 5310 for all trades executed, however better executions may be available via another broker-dealer based on a number of factors including volume, order flow, and market making activity. Clients should also be aware that for accounts where LPL Financial serves as the custodian, the Advisor is limited to offering services and investment vehicles that are approved by LPL Financial, and may be prohibited from offering services and investment vehicles that may be available through other broker-dealers and custodians, some of which may be more suitable for a client’s portfolio than the services and investment vehicles offered through LPL Financial. Clients should also understand that LPL Financial is responsible under FINRA rules for supervising certain business activities of the Advisor and its Dually Registered Persons that are conducted through broker-dealers and custodians other than LPL Financial. LPL Financial charges a fee for its oversight of activities conducted through these other broker-dealers and custodians. This arrangement presents a conflict of interest because the Advisor has a financial incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with LPL Financial rather than with another broker-dealer or custodian to avoid incurring the oversight fee. LPL’s brokerage services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. For client accounts maintained in LPL’s custody, LPL generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions and other transaction-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed through LPL or that settle into LPL accounts. Transition Assistance Benefits LPL Financial provides various benefits and payments to Dually Registered Persons to assist with the costs (including foregone revenues during account transition) associated with transitioning business to the LPL Financial platform (collectively referred to as “Transition Assistance”). 12 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 The proceeds of such Transition Assistance payments are intended to be used for a variety of purposes, including but not necessarily limited to, providing working capital to assist in funding the Dually Registered Person’s business, satisfying any outstanding debt owed to the Dually Registered Person’s prior firm, offsetting account transfer fees (ACATs) payable to LPL Financial as a result of the Dually Registered Person’s clients transitioning to LPL Financial’s custodial platform, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationary and licensure transfer fees, moving expenses, office space expenses, staffing support and termination fees associated with moving accounts. The amount of the Transition Assistance payments is often significant in relation to the overall revenue earned or compensation received by the Dually Registered Person at their prior firm. Such payments are generally based on the size of the Dually Registered Person’s business established at their prior firm and/or assets under custody on the LPL Financial. Please refer to the relevant Part 2B brochure supplement for more information about the specific Transition Payments your representative receives. Transition Assistance payments and other benefits are provided to associated persons of the Advisor in their capacity as registered representatives of LPL Financial. However, the receipt of Transition Assistance by such Dually Registered Persons creates conflicts of interest relating to the Advisor’s advisory business because it creates a financial incentive for the Advisor’s representatives to recommend that its clients maintain their accounts with LPL Financial. In certain instances, the receipt of such benefits is dependent on a Dually Registered Person maintaining its clients’ assets with LPL Financial and therefore the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that clients maintain their account with LPL Financial in order to generate such benefits. The Advisor attempts to mitigate these conflicts of interest by evaluating and recommending that clients use LPL Financial’s services based on the benefits that such services provide to our clients, rather than the Transition Assistance earned by any particular Dually Registered Person. The Advisor considers LPL Financial’s (i) price; (ii) facilities, reliability, and financial responsibility; (iii) ability to effect transactions, particularly with regard to such aspects as timing, order size, and execution of order; (iv) the research and related brokerage services when recommending or requiring that clients maintain accounts with LPL Financial. However, clients should be aware of this conflict and take it into consideration in deciding whether to custody their assets in a brokerage account at LPL Financial. IARs may receive from LPL Financial upfront transition payments in order to assist them with transitioning their business onto the LPL Financial custodial platform. These funds may be used, but not necessarily limited to, offsetting things like ACAT fees, technology set-up fees, marketing and mailing costs, stationery and licensure transfer fees. This presents a conflict of interest in that the IAR has a financial incentive to recommend that you maintain your account with LPL Financial. However, to the extent an IAR recommends you use LPL Financial for such services, it is because the IAR believes that it is in your best interest to do so based on the quality and pricing of the execution, benefits of an integrated platform for brokerage and advisory accounts, and other services provided by LPL Financial. Research & Other Soft Dollar Benefits LPL also makes available to the Advisor other products and services that benefit the Advisor but may not directly benefit its clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be used to service all or some substantial number of clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at LPL. 13 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 LPL’s products and services that assist the Advisor in managing and administering clients’ accounts include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide research, pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment of the Advisor’s fees from its clients’ accounts; and (v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. Services provided by LPL to the Advisor include research (including mutual fund research, third-party research, and LPL’s proprietary research), brokerage, custody, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. In addition, LPL makes available software and other technologies that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution, provide research, pricing information, quotation services, and other market data, assist with contact management, facilitate payment of fees to the firm from client accounts, assist with performance reporting, facilitate trade allocation, and assist with back-office support, record-keeping, and client reporting. LPL also provides access to practice management consulting support, best execution assistance, consolidated statements assistance, marketing and educational materials, technological and information technology support, due diligence meetings, and LPL corporate discounts. Many of these services may be used to service all or a substantial number of the Advisor’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at LPL. LPL provides the Advisor with other services intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business. Some of these services assist the Advisor to better monitor and service program accounts maintained at LPL Financial, however, many of these services benefit only the Advisor, for example, services that assist the Advisor in growing its business. These support services and/or products may be provided without cost, at a discount, and/or at a negotiated rate, and include practice management-related publications; consulting services; attendance at conferences and seminars, meetings, and other educational and/or social events; marketing support; and other products and services used by the Advisor in furtherance of the operation and development of its investment advisory business. LPL also provides other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of the Advisor’s personnel. Where such services are provided by a third-party vendor, LPL Financial will either make a payment to the Advisor to cover the cost of such services, reimburse the Advisor for the cost associated with the services, or pay the third-party vendor directly on behalf of the Advisor. The products and services described above are provided to the Advisor as part of its overall relationship with LPL Financial. While as a fiduciary the Advisor endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, the receipt of these benefits creates a conflict of interest because the Advisor’s recommendation that client’s custody their assets at LPL Financial is based in part on the benefit to the Advisor of the availability of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody or brokerage services provided by LPL Financial. The Advisor’s receipt of some of these benefits may be based on the amount of advisory assets custodied on the LPL Financial platform. In evaluating whether to recommend that client’s custody their assets at LPL, the Advisor may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products, services, and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors it considers and not solely the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by LPL, which may create a potential conflict of interest. 14 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 The Advisor addresses this conflict by conducting quarterly reviews of a sampling of execution quality and annual reviews of commission rates, trade error rates, quality of client reporting, block trading, reputation, and financial strength of the broker-dealer. The quarterly and annual reviews include a comparison to other industry participants offering the same or similar services. Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC The Advisor may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with Pershing, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. Pershing offers to independent investment advisors services that include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. There is no direct link between the Advisor’s recommendation of Pershing and the investment advice it gives to its clients, although the Advisor receives economic benefits through its participation in the program. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk serving the Advisor participants; access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly from client accounts; and access to an electronic communications network for client order entry and account information. Some of the products and services made available by Pershing may benefit the Advisor but may not benefit its client accounts. These products or services may assist Advisor in managing and administering client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Pershing. Other services made available by Pershing are intended to help the Advisor manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by the Advisor or its personnel do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Pershing, however the Advisor is subject to maintain a minimum of assets under management with Pershing in order to avoid paying a platform fee to utilize its services. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence the Advisor’s choice of Pershing for custody and brokerage services. Best Execution In recommending broker-dealers, the Advisor considers “best execution.” Best execution means in recommending a broker-dealer, the Advisor will comply with its fiduciary duty to obtain best execution and as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will take into account such relevant factors as (i) price; (ii) the broker-dealer’s facilities, reliability, and financial responsibility; (iii) the ability of the broker-dealer to effect transactions, particularly with regard to such aspects as timing, order size, and execution of order; (iv) the research and related brokerage services provided by such broker-dealer to the Advisor, notwithstanding that a client’s account may not be the direct or exclusive beneficiary of such services; and (v) any other factors the Advisor considers to be relevant. Aggregation of Orders When the Advisor buys or sells the same security for more than one client, it may place concurrent orders with the brokerage firm to be executed together as a single “block” in order to facilitate orderly and efficient 15 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 execution. Where orders are aggregated, each client’s account will be charged or credited with the average price per unit. The Advisor receives no additional compensation or remuneration from aggregating transactions. However, because the Advisor uses different custodians, the Advisor does not aggregate trades among custodians. Non-aggregated trades in equity securities can result in your paying higher brokerage costs. Directed Brokerage LPL will be the primary broker/dealer and custodian the Advisor recommends due to the relationship that its associated persons have with LPL. LPL limits or restricts the broker/dealer or custodian platforms for LPL registered representatives (that are also independently registered) due to LPL's duty to supervise the transactions implemented by those individuals. If a client directs the Advisor to use a specific firm for brokerage or custodial services or maintains an account with LPL because their IAR is affiliated with LPL, the client should be aware that there may be brokerage and execution services available elsewhere at lower cost. Clients should consider whether directing brokerage to a particular broker-dealer firm may result in certain costs or disadvantages, such as higher commissions, less favorable executions, or being limited in investment options. If a client’s account is invested in mutual funds or variable annuities, these directed brokerage arrangements might limit the investment options for the Advisor’s use in managing the client’s account. The reasons for a brokerage firm to limit these options are many, such as the brokerage firm offers only its proprietary investment products or is paid a higher commission when the volume of a particular product attains a certain level. In addition, with directed brokerage arrangements, the client is responsible for negotiating the brokerage firm’s commission rates and other fees. Item 13 Review of Accounts The value of securities held in a client’s portfolio will be valued by the custodian, broker-dealer, or other investment vendor. Some investments, such as alternative investments or private placements, values are based upon the value provided by the investment’s manager, which may be monthly, quarterly, but not less than annually; often, these values are estimates made by the alternative investment’s manager and may not be the liquidation value. The Advisor’s Managing Principal reviews client account activity no less than quarterly. The level of review is determined by the complexity of the portfolio at the discretion of the Advisor’s Managing Principal. Other factors that may trigger review are changes in economic or market conditions, and individual client situations. Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation The Advisor maintains referral arrangements with one or more third-party investment advisor to act as their promoter for investment management services. In these instances, the third-party investment advisor will pay the Advisor compensation in connection with the arrangement. The Advisor discloses all compensation with respect to the foregoing to each referred client through a disclosure statement disclosing the terms of the specific arrangement. The Advisor pays referral fees to third parties (“Promoters”) that endorse the Advisor’s advisory services or programs. Any arrangement is conducted pursuant to Rule 206(4)-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. In such event, the Advisor compensates the Promoters directly if a client enters a relationship with the Advisor. 16 LWMAS-ADV 2A Retirement Plan Brochure – 03/2025 This compensation is made up of a portion of the advisory fee the Advisor charges the client, which may be up to 35% of the investment advisory fee the Advisor receives. A Promoter will provide the client with a statement disclosing the terms of the Promoter’s arrangement with the Advisor. The Advisor and/or its Dually Registered Persons are incented to join and remain affiliated with LPL Financial and to recommend that clients establish accounts with LPL Financial through the provision of Transition Assistance (discussed in Item 12 above and your IAR’s ADV Part 2B Brochure Supplement). LPL also provides other compensation to the Advisor and its Dually Registered Persons, including but not limited to, bonus payments, repayable and forgivable loans, stock awards and other benefits. The receipt of any such compensation creates a financial incentive for your representative to recommend LPL Financial as custodian for the assets in your advisory account. We encourage you to discuss any such conflicts of interest with your representative before deciding to custody your assets at LPL Financial. The Advisor receives research and other web-based services from product sponsors. These product sponsors do not charge the Advisor a subscription fee for their services, however their services may include recommendations for investment products they offer or manage. The Advisor may attend user conferences sponsored by the product sponsors for which they do not charge the Advisor. Because these product sponsors earn revenue from investments in their respective investment products, they do not charge the Advisor fees for these services. These discounts create a conflict of interest for the Advisor. The Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by the Advisor or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest. Item 15 Custody The Advisor has custody of clients’ funds to the extent that it has the ability to deduct fees from clients’ accounts. The custodian will send quarterly account statements to clients. Neither the Advisor nor its associated persons will accept delivery of a client’s securities or funds in the name of the Advisor or its associated person. The Advisor is deemed to have custody when clients authorize us via standing letters of instruction to direct funds to third-parties from their custodial accounts. In connection with standing letters of instruction a client must provide signed written instruction to the custodian to direct transfers to a third party, which the client may instruct the custodian to terminate or change at any time. The Advisor has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s instruction. The custodian will verify the instruction with an initial notice, provide the client with a transfer of funds notice promptly after each transfer, and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction. The Advisor and its affiliates may not accept funds in connection with standing letters of instruction, nor may funds be delivered to locations where the Advisor or its affiliates conduct business. Executing broker-dealers, custodians, or other investment vendors provide account statements and confirmations.
