Item 4: Advisory Business
Introduction
Lynx is an investment adviser that provides fee-only asset management and investment advice. Lynx was
founded in 1996 by Brian Chait, its President, and Chief Compliance Officer. Lynx is a registered
investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Lynx provides investment
advice through investment adviser representatives (“advisor” or “IAR”) associated with us. Our advisors
must have a minimum of three years’ investment or business experience and/or an undergraduate
degree.
Lynx is an independent, family owned, fee-only investment management firm. We advise individuals, high
net worth individuals, trusts, estates, pension plans, profit sharing plans, corporations, and other
businesses. We manage client investment accounts within the scope of a client’s financial situation and
risk profile. Lynx is committed to highly personalized and responsive service to our clients. We believe
each client is unique and deserves their own specific investment plan based upon their tolerance for risk
and long-term objectives, among other factors.
Brian Chait is Lynx’s sole shareholder, controlling 100% of Lynx.
Services
We provide investment advice and discretionary asset management. We manage client’s investment
accounts, primarily with an emphasis on growth, within the parameters of the client’s objectives and
financial circumstances. We offer five core investment service categories based on individual client needs:
A Dividend Growth Strategy, which aims for stable conservative returns
An Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) portfolio, with the goal of a global macro tactical tilt approach
A commodity allocation through the use of Exchange traded Funds
A covered call income generating strategy
Customized bond and income portfolios
We primarily utilize stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, other funds and covered options transactions
in our client’s accounts. On occasion, depending on a client’s risk tolerance, we may utilize short selling
strategies.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, we had a total of $260,361,453 in discretionary assets under management. This
total amount is managed on a discretionary basis which means, you, the client has given us the authority
to determine the following without your consent prior to any transaction in the account:
Lynx Capital Group, Ltd.
ADV Part 2
March 2025
Page 5 of 17
Securities to be bought or sold for your account;
Amount of securities to be bought or sold for your account;
Broker-dealer to be used for a purchase or sale of securities for your account; and
Commission to be paid for purchase or sale of securities in your account.
While we may have trading discretion on your account (i.e., placing trades in your account without your
approval), trading activity occurs only as necessary. Trading in a client account may be required in the
following situations, among others: (1) to meet initial allocation targets, (2) after substantial cash deposits
or transfer of assets from other brokerage accounts that require investment allocation, and/or (3) after a
request for a withdrawal from a client account that requires liquidation of a position. In addition to
targeted transactions, your account may be rebalanced or reallocated periodically in order to reestablish
the targeted percentages and objectives of your initial asset allocation. You will be responsible for any
and all tax consequences resulting from transactions in your account. We are not tax professionals and
do not provide tax advice. However, we will work with your tax professional to assist you with tax
planning. You will have the opportunity to meet with your advisor periodically to review the assets in
your account.
Asset Management
Asset Management is the professional management of securities (stocks, bonds, ETFs, and other
securities) and assets (e.g., real estate) in order to meet your specified investment goals. The
recommended portfolio may include various securities such as individual equity securities, ETFs, covered
calls and bonds. With an Asset Management Account, you engage one of our advisors to assist you in
developing a personalized asset allocation program and custom-tailored portfolio designed to meet your
investment objectives.
You will meet with us to discuss your financial circumstances, investment goals and objectives, and to
determine your risk tolerance. We may ask you to provide statements summarizing current investments,
income and other earnings, recent tax returns, retirement plan information, other assets and liabilities,
wills and trusts, insurance policies, and other pertinent information. Based on the information you shared
with us, we will analyze your situation and recommend an appropriate asset allocation or investment
strategy. Our recommendation and ongoing management are based upon your investment goals and
objectives, risk tolerance, and the investment portfolio you selected. We will monitor the account, trade
as necessary, and communicate with you. We will monitor your circumstances in quarterly and annual
account reviews. These reviews may be conducted in person, by telephone conference, and/or via a
written inquiry/questionnaire. We will work with you on an ongoing basis to evaluate your asset
allocation, as well as rebalance your portfolio, as necessary, to keep it in line with your objectives. You
must notify us promptly when your financial situation, goals, objectives, or needs change as these provide
the basis for your investment strategy.
You may, at any time, impose restrictions on your account. Restrictions may be a specific company
security, industry sector, asset class, or any other restriction you request.
Under certain conditions, securities from outside accounts may be transferred into your advisory account.
However, we may recommend that you sell any security if we believe that it is not suitable for the current

recommended investment strategy. You should always consult with your tax advisor for specific tax
advice.
The funds in the account will be held in custody, in your name, at a qualified custodian. We recommend
that clients utilize Fidelity Investments (“Fidelity”) as their qualified custodian. You will enter into a
separate custodial agreement with Fidelity. You will, at all times, maintain full and complete ownership
rights to all assets held in your managed account, including the right to withdraw securities or cash, proxy
voting, and receiving transaction confirmations. You grant, in writing, limited discretionary authority to
Lynx over your account so that we may select the securities and amounts of securities to be bought and
sold in your account, within the parameters of your stated objectives and risk tolerance for such account.
This limited authority allows Lynx to give instructions to the custodian to effect transactions, deliver
securities, make payments, and certain other matters, in your account. The custodian will provide all
clearing, trading, and brokerage services for your account. You will receive statements directly from the
custodian periodically, monthly if there is activity in the account and, at least quarterly if there is no
activity.
Lynx’s asset management services include the following:
Review of your current financial situation;
Monitoring and tracking of assets under management, including quarterly reviews and annual
rebalancing
Providing portfolio statements, periodic rate of return reports, asset allocation statements, and
rebalancing reports as needed
Advice on asset selection
Determination of asset allocation models
Providing research on performance and factors relating to investments
Assistance in setting and monitoring goals and objectives based on consultations and discussions
of your risk tolerance
Providing personal consultations as necessary
The Asset Management relationship may be terminated at any time upon written notice by either party.
If written notice is made, by you, within the first five days from the date of entering into an Investment
Supervisory Services Agreement with Lynx, any fees paid by you will be refunded. Thereafter, you are
responsible for paying for services rendered up until the date the written notice of termination is received
by us.
Certain assumptions may be made with respect to interest and inflation rates and the use of past trends
and performance of the market and economy. Past performance is not an indication of future
performance.

Other Services
On occasion, we may provide specific investment advice pertaining to investments, securities, or financial
circumstances not related to our standard Asset Management services. We may also assist you with the
selection of other Advisers or financial services professionals.
Wrap Fee
We do not sponsor or participate in a third-party sponsored wrap fee program.
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
We provide asset management services for a fee. Management fees are based on a percentage of assets
under management and are billed quarterly in arrears for the services rendered based upon the most
recent quarter end market value. Our Investment Supervisory Services Agreement outlines the services
that you will receive and the fees you will pay. Our fees can be paid by a client by check upon receipt of
our invoice or a client may authorize, via written instruction, its custodian to pay management fees owed
to us directly from their account, upon the custodian’s receipt of our invoice. Management fees are
prorated for each contribution and withdrawal made during the applicable calendar quarter (with the
exception of small inconsequential contributions and withdrawals). Upon termination any fees that are
due, but have not been paid, will be billed to you through the custodian and paid directly to Lynx from
your account.
Our fees do not include brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses.
You may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, investment companies, and other third
parties. These include fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot
differentials, transfer taxes, foreign tax withholdings, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other
fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual Funds, money market funds
and exchange traded funds also may charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in the fund’s
prospectus. These fees include, but are not limited to, a management fee, sales charges, and other fund
expenses. All such fees are in addition to our management fee. You should review all fees charged to fully
understand the total amount of fees you will pay.
Certain strategies offered by us may involve investment in mutual funds. Load and no-load mutual funds
may pay annual distribution charges, sometimes referred to as “12b-1 fees”. We do not receive any 12b-
1 fees. Any 12b-1 fees, deferred sales charges and other fee arrangements relating to mutual funds will
be disclosed to you if you request us to do so. Such fees are typically described in the applicable fund’s
prospectus.
You may invest in ETFs, bonds, and other investments directly without our services. The advisory fees we
charge may be higher or lower than those charged by other advisers for comparable services, but we
believe that such costs are generally within a competitive range for similar services. The advisory fee we
charge may be more than you would pay to buy or sell the securities directly on a commission basis in a
non-managed account.

Generally, Lynx’s advisory fee is a percentage of a client’s assets under management with Lynx and will be
determined from the following schedule:
Annual Fee Percentage
Portfolio Size (AUM)
1.50%
Under $1,000,000
1.0%
$1,000,000 - $1,500,000
Negotiable
> $1,500,000
There is a minimum annual fee of $1,500 per account which may be reduced or waived under certain
circumstances. The fees shown above are annual fees and may be negotiable based upon certain
circumstances. No increase in the annual fee shall be effective without prior written notification. In certain
situations, for example, when a client has multiple accounts managed by Lynx, we may charge a lower fee
or quote a fixed fee for providing advisory services to such client. If a fixed fee is quoted, it will be
determined based on the size of multiple accounts, the number of accounts, and the services rendered
for each account.
Item 6: Performance Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
We do not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital
appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7: Types of Client(s)
We provide Asset Management services to individuals, high net worth individuals, corporate pension and
profit-sharing plans, other pooled investment vehicles (e.g. hedge funds), trusts, and corporations.
We have a minimum account opening balance $500,000, which may be waived at the sole discretion of
the adviser.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
We utilize a combination of fundamental and technical investment analysis, with the integration of charts,
graphs, and research reports.
Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental analysis is a technique that attempts to determine a security’s value by focusing on the
underlying factors that affect a company’s actual business and its future prospects. Fundamental analysis
Lynx Capital Group, Ltd.
ADV Part 2
March 2025
Page 9 of 17
is about using real data to evaluate a security’s value. It refers to the analysis of the economic well-being
of a financial entity as opposed to only its price movements.
Fundamental analysis serves to answer questions, such as:
Is the company’s revenue growing?
Is it actually making a profit?
Is it in strong-enough position to beat out its competitors in the future?
Is it able to repay its debts?
Is there strong, ethical management?
One of the primary assumptions of fundamental analysis is the price on the stock market does not fully
reflect a stock’s “real” value.
Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is a technique that attempts to determine a security’s value by focusing on past market
data, incorporating price, volume, and market indicators. Technical analysis is about using models and
trading rules based on price and volume data to identify patterns, forecast, and evaluate potential price
changes.
Technical analysis is based on the beliefs that:
Market price reflects all relevant information
How investors think about an investment, or the psychological aspect, is fundamental to price and
performance
Prices may be cyclical or trend in a specific direction and history often repeats itself
There are underlying identifiable patterns of price and behavior
One of the primary assumptions of technical analysis is that the price of any security in the stock market
may be validated by, and predicted by, identifiable patterns of past behavior.
Overall Analysis
In the course of our analysis and in the course of selecting products for our client’s accounts, we utilize
various resources, such as:
Financial websites and rating services
Bloomberg
Standard and Poor’s
Reuters detailed analyst reports for fundamental analysis
Daily news reports on specific equities and ETFs contained in portfolios
Annual Reports, prospectuses, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Company press releases and earnings calls
Key insider buying/selling analysis
Quantitative screens comparing positions to competitors and industry
Financial periodicals such as Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and Financial Times
As with other types of analysis, the predictive nature of technical analysis can vary greatly; models and
rules are often modified and updated as new patterns and behaviors develop. In utilizing both
Lynx Capital Group, Ltd.
ADV Part 2
March 2025
Page 10 of 17
fundamental and technical analysis, we believe we are able to gain a larger picture of the true value of a
particular investment and the ability to strategize it’s potential. However, past performance is not an
indicator of future returns.
Investment Strategies
The investment strategies Lynx uses to implement any investment advice given to you include, but are
not limited to:
Long term purchases (securities held at least a year)
Short term purchases (securities sold within a year)
Trading (securities sold within 30 days)
Margin Transactions
Short Sales
Option writing, including covered, uncovered and spread option strategies
Every investment and every investment strategy involves risks, both short-term and long-term. That
means you can lose money. These strategies may not be suitable for everyone. The long-term purchase
strategy may not do well every week, every month, every quarter or every year. Both strategies are
subject to inflation, interest rate, and safety of principal and liquidity risks.
There are a number of additional risks that you need to consider in deciding to trade securities on margin.
These risks include the following:
You can lose more funds than you deposit in the margin account.
The firm can force the sale of securities in your account.
The firm can sell your securities without contacting you.
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call.
Options carry a high level of risk and are not suitable for all investors. The option and short sales trading
risks are:
Risk of losing your entire investment in a relatively short period of time
o The risk of losing your entire investment increases as the option goes out of the money
(OTM) and as expiration nears
Specific exercise provisions of a specific option contract may create risks
Regulatory agencies may impose exercise restrictions, which stops you from realizing value
For a comprehensive description of all the risks associated with our strategies, methodology, and
products please refer to the glossary under Risks
Risk of Loss There is no guarantee that our analysis methods will yield a return. Loss of principal is
always a risk and past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investing in securities involves a
risk of loss that our clients should be prepared to handle. Investment decisions made by you and Lynx
for your account are subject to various market, currency, political, and business risks. The investment
decisions we make for you in managing your account on a discretionary basis will not always be
profitable nor are there any guarantees as to any level of performance. Additionally, dividend or

interest payments are not guaranteed and may also fluctuate as market conditions change. You need to
make sure you understand the risks related in investing in securities. For a comprehensive description
of all the risks associated with our strategies, methodology, and products please refer to the glossary
under Risks.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity of our management.
We do not have any information to disclose concerning Lynx or any of our IARs. We adhere to high
ethical standards for all IARs and associates.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither Lynx nor any of its management personnel are registered, or have an application pending to
register, as a broker-dealer or a registered representative of a broker-dealer.
Neither Lynx nor any of its management personnel are registered, or have an application pending to
register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or
an associated person of the foregoing entities
Lynx does not recommend or select other investment advisers for our clients and thus does not receive
compensation from any outside source.
In addition to serving as owner and president of Lynx, Brian Chait owns and controls Boca, Inc. Boca, Inc.
acts as the Investment Manager of Rampart Funds, LP Rampart Funds, LP is a private investment fund, in
which only accredited investors may invest as limited partners. On occasion, Lynx may solicit clients of
Lynx to invest in Rampart Funds, LP. At the time of this disclosure document, approximately 15% of Lynx’s
clients are invested in this fund.
Because Lynx recommends the purchase of Rampart to some clients, and Brian Chait controls both Lynx
and Boca, Inc., as well as Rampart, this may result in one or more conflicts of interest. As a result of these
relationships, Brian Chait, indirectly, will receive compensation from Rampart as a result of Boca’s role as
Investment Manager to Rampart. This means that Brian Chait has an incentive to recommend that Lynx
clients purchase partnership interests in Rampart, even if such an investment would not be appropriate
for such client. In order to address these potential conflicts of interest, Lynx has adopted a Code of Ethics
and compliance policies and procedures. Lynx’s policies and procedures provide that the CCO will monitor
client accounts that are invested in the Rampart Fund to ascertain that the purchase was in the client’s
best interests.

Personal Trading.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics for all IAR’s of the firm describing its high standards of business conduct,
and fiduciary duty to you, our client. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality
of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on
the acceptance of significant gifts, the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and
personal securities trading procedures. All of our IAR’s must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics
annually, or as amended.
Participation or Interest in Client Accounts

circumstances under which it is made, not misleading

Clients and prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting the Brian
Chait.
Personal Trading
We may recommend securities to you that we have purchased for our own accounts. We may trade
securities in our account that we have recommended to you as long as we place our orders after your
orders. This policy is meant to prevent us from benefiting as a result of transactions placed on behalf of
advisory accounts.
We will generally place your trades individually through your accounts unless we decide to purchase or
sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. We may, but are not obligated
to, combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favorable commission
rates or to allocate equitably among our clients differences in prices and commission or other transaction
costs. Under this procedure, transactions will be price-averaged and allocated among our clients in
proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on any given day.
We have established the following policies:
Lynx Capital Group, Ltd.
ADV Part 2
March 2025
Page 13 of 17
With the exception of the Rampart Fund, we will only buy or sell for you securities of companies
that the principals of ours or a related person do not have a material interest (5% or more
ownership).
No transactions will be executed which would not be deemed in your best interest.
Securities offerings for which Fidelity acts as underwriter or syndicator will not be recommended
or purchased without your express written permission.
Priority will be given to your orders over orders of related persons
We will not buy or sell securities for our personal portfolio(s) where the decision is derived, in
whole or in part, from our role as an Investment Adviser, unless the information is also publicly
available.
You have the right to decline any investment advice given and are under no obligation to
implement recommendations
All Supervised Persons are required to disclose all personal and directed account upon
commencement of employment, and thereafter.
Under certain circumstances, exceptions may be made to the policies stated within the Code of Ethics.
Records of these trades, including reasons for the exceptions, will be maintained. Employee trading is
continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest.
You may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting Brian Chait.
Responsibility
It is the responsibility of all supervisory personnel to ensure that we conduct business with the highest
level of ethical standards and in keeping with our fiduciary duties to you. We must put your interests first
and refrain from having outside interests that conflict with your interests.
Privacy Statement
We are committed to protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and security of your personal non-public
information. We are committed to preventing unauthorized access to, or the use or disclosure of your
personal information. Our privacy policy will be given to you at the time you open an account, and we
offer our privacy policy to you quarterly thereafter. Additionally, you may always request a copy of the
privacy policy.
Conflicts of Interest
When appropriate, Lynx’s IARs employ the same strategy for their personal investment accounts as it
does for its clients. However, IARs are restricted from placing their orders in a way to benefit from the
purchase or sale of a security.
We act in a fiduciary capacity. If a conflict of interest arises between us and you, we shall make every
effort to resolve the conflict in your favor. When conflicts of interest may arise in the allocation of
investment opportunities among the accounts that we advise, we will seek to allocate investment
opportunities according to what we believe is appropriate for each account. We strive to do what is
equitable and in the best interests of all the accounts we advise.
Lynx Capital Group, Ltd. has common management and control ownership with Boca Inc. Boca, Inc. is the
investment manager of Rampart Funds, LP, a limited partnership. Mr. Brian Chait serves as both owner
Lynx Capital Group, Ltd.
ADV Part 2
March 2025
Page 14 of 17
and president of Lynx Capital Group, Ltd. and owner and control person of Boca, Inc. Clients of Lynx may
be solicited into Rampart Funds, LP, providing they meet the accredited investor criteria and suitability
standards. Approximately 15% of Lynx’s clients are invested in the Rampart Funds, LP.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Soft Dollars
Soft Dollar Benefits are generally defined as the practice of receiving research and other services in
exchange for directing client transactions to a specific broker-dealer or investment company. We do not
accept or receive soft dollar benefits from other firms such as broker-dealers, custodians, or other third
parties.
However, Fidelity does provide investment research products and/or services which assist us in our
investment decision-making process for you. Although this is not a material consideration when
determining whether to recommend that you use the services of Fidelity, we may receive from Fidelity,
without cost, computer software and related support, which allow us to better monitor your accounts
maintained at Fidelity. We may receive the software and support without cost, because we render
investment management services to clients that maintain accounts at Fidelity whose aggregate total
assets at Fidelity exceed the established minimum required for an investment manager to receive
software and support without cost. Although the investment research products and/or services that may
be obtained by us will generally be used to service all of our clients, a brokerage commission paid by a
specific client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing that specific client’s account.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
We do not select or recommend broker-dealers based upon whether or not we receive client referrals.
Directed Brokerage
We require asset management clients to use Fidelity Investments as the custodial firm for their accounts
and for execution of transactions in those accounts. We have an obligation to seek best execution for our
clients. By directing brokerage to Fidelity, you may pay higher fees or transaction costs than those
obtainable by other broker-dealers. In most cases, we believe you are paying a discounted and reasonable
rate. You may pay higher or lower fees if you select another broker-dealer. Generally, we will not
negotiate lower rates below the rates established by the executing broker-dealer for this type of directed
brokerage account, unless we believe that such rate is unfair or unreasonable for the size and type of
transaction.
Not all advisory firms require you to direct brokerage to a specific broker/dealer. We have an obligation
to seek best execution for you. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest
possible commission cost but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking
into consideration the full range of a Broker-Dealer’s services including the value of research provided,
execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. Therefore, we will seek competitive
commission rates, but we may not obtain the lowest possible commission rates for account transactions.

We do place block trades to try and obtain competitive trading costs. All accounts share the trading costs
in proportion to the investment.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Reviews of Accounts
We review all accounts on a continuous basis. Individual investments are monitored daily through the
use of fundamental analysis. Technical analysis charting is done periodically and on an as-needed basis
when market fluctuations occur. Market conditions and news reports may also trigger a review of a client
account. At a minimum, we review all accounts on a quarterly and annual basis. The President, Brian
Chait is responsible for performing the reviews of all accounts.
Reports Provided by Lynx
You will be provided with quarterly statement reflecting the calculation and deduction of our advisory
fees. We urge you to carefully review such statements and compare the official custodial record to the

We do not receive any economic benefit from someone who is not a client for providing investment advice
or other advisory services to our clients nor do we directly or indirectly pay any compensation to another
person if they refer clients to us.
Item 15: Custody
You should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker-dealer or other qualified custodian that
holds and maintains your investment assets which is usually Fidelity. We urge you to carefully review such
statements and compare the official custodial records to the account statements and reports that we may
provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based upon account procedures,
reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. If you notice any discrepancies, please
contact Brian Chait.
Your custodian, if directed by you to do so in writing, has the authority to directly pay our advisory fees
to us from your account. The Custodian will provide you immediate transaction confirmations and

value of the account at the beginning and end of the month and itemize all transactions and security
positions in your account. For taxable accounts, the Custodian will provide you consolidated year-end
summary statements including IRS forms 1099 and other tax-related forms, as applicable. We cannot
make any alterations or amendments to the custodian’s statements. This preserves the integrity of the
custodian's statement and provides you with an independent appraisal of the value of your account.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
We are granted discretionary authority over your account, by you, at the onset of our advisory
relationship. This discretionary authority is documented in writing, as well as any restrictions placed by
you. This discretionary authority allows us to select which securities to buy or sell, the quantity and the
dollar amount to buy or sell. In all cases, discretionary authority will be exercised in a manner consistent
with the stated investment objectives and risk tolerance for your account. You will have the opportunity
to meet with your advisor to periodically review your account. In the discretionary asset management of
your account, we will observe the investment policies, limitations, and restrictions on your account.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, we do not have any authority to and do not vote proxies on behalf
of advisory clients. You retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities
maintained in your portfolios. We will not provide advice to you regarding your voting of proxies. The
custodian will forward you copies of all proxies and shareholder communications relating to your account
assets.
Item 18: Financial Information
We are required to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about our financial
condition. We have no financial commitment that would impair our ability to meet any contractual and
fiduciary commitments to you, our client. We have not been the subject of any bankruptcy proceedings.
In no event shall we charge advisory fees that are both in excess of twelve hundred dollars and more
than six months in advance of advisory services rendered.
