Description of the Advisory Firm Momentum Wealth Planning, LLC (“Momentum” or the “Firm”) is a limited liability company organized in the State of North Carolina. Momentum is an investment advisory firm registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Momentum is owned by David Flanders. B. Types of Advisory Services Momentum provides personalized financial planning and discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to individuals, including high net worth individuals, and entities, including, but not limited to, family offices, trusts, estates, private foundations, and qualified retirement plans. Financial Planning Services For clients that desire financial planning services, Momentum utilizes the services of Foundation Financial Planning, LLC (“Foundation”). Foundation is an investment adviser that is not affiliated with Momentum. Foundation works with financial professionals to assist with parts of the financial planning process. This includes consulting, modeling & data processing services. As agreed with, or otherwise as applicable to, a client, the provided financial plan may include: Data review, organization, and entry into various software; retirement planning; cash management planning; goals planning; cash flow modeling; tax concerns; scenario “what-if” analysis; insurance needs analysis; debt paydown planning; college funding; social security timing; and medicare strategies. Financial planning services provided by and with Foundation are completed upon the delivery of the financial plan to the client. Momentum will provide Fountain’s ADV Part 2A to those clients whose financial planning services are provided by or with Foundation. See Item 5 below for information on the fees applicable to this provision of financial planning services. Clients are under no obligation to implement any of the recommendations provided in their written financial plan. However, should a client decide to proceed with the implementation of the investment recommendations then the client can either have Momentum implement those recommendations or utilize the services of any investment adviser or broker-dealer of their choice. Momentum cannot provide any guarantees or promises that a client’s financial goals and objectives will be met. Investment Management Services Momentum offers investment management services on a discretionary basis and non-discretionary basis. All investment advice provided is customized to each client’s investment objectives, goals and financial needs. The information provided by the client, together with any other information relating to the client’s overall financial circumstances, will be used by Momentum to determine the appropriate portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy for the client. The securities utilized by Momentum for investment in client accounts mainly consist of registered mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), but we will also invest in equity securities, options on equity securities, corporate bonds, REITS, variable annuities, private funds/alternative investments, closed end funds and structured notes, if we determine such investments fit within a client’s objectives and are in the best interest of our clients. 5  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure Momentum may further recommend to clients that all or a portion of their investment portfolio be managed on a discretionary basis by one or more unaffiliated money managers or investment platforms (“External Managers”). The client may be required to enter into a separate agreement with the External Manager(s), which will set forth the terms and conditions of the client’s engagement of the External Manager. Momentum generally renders services to the client relative to the discretionary selection of External Managers. Momentum also assists in establishing the client’s investment objectives for the assets managed by External Managers, monitors and reviews the account performance and defines any restrictions on the account. The investment management fees charged by the designated External Managers, together with the fees charged by the corresponding designated broker-dealer/custodian of the client’s assets, are exclusive of, and in addition to, the annual advisory fee charged by Momentum. Investment Management Services to Retirement Plans Momentum offers discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services to qualified plans, including 401k plans. These services include, depending upon the needs of the plan client, recommending, or for discretionary clients selecting, investment options for plans to offer to participants, ongoing monitoring of a plan’s investment options, assisting plan fiduciaries in creating and/or updating the plan’s written investment policy statements, working with plan service providers, and providing general investment education to plan participants. Note for IRA and Retirement Plan Clients: When Momentum provides investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, Momentum is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way Momentum makes money creates some conflicts with your interests, so Momentum operates under a special rule that requires Momentum to act in your best interest and not put Momentum’s interest ahead of yours. C. Client-Tailored Advisory Services Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts if Momentum determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly burdensome for Momentum’s management efforts. D. Information Received From Clients Momentum will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or the information provided by clients. Momentum is not obligated to verify any information received from a client or other professionals (e.g., attorney, accountant) designated by a client, and Momentum is expressly authorized by the client to rely on such information provided. Under all circumstances, clients are responsible for promptly notifying Momentum in writing of any material changes to the client’s financial situation, investment objectives, goals, time horizon, or risk tolerance. 6  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2024 our firm manages approximately $167,587,299 of clients assets all managed on a discretionary basis. Item 5 - Fees and Compensation Momentum charges fees based on a percentage of assets under management as well as fixed fees and hourly fees, depending on the particular types of services to be provided. The specific fees charged by Momentum for services provided will be set forth in each client’s agreement. A. Financial Planning and Investment Management Services Fees for Financial Planning Services When providing financial planning services by utilizing Foundation, the following fee schedule is applicable: Hourly Fees: Hourly fees range between $150 and $200 per hour. The $200 hourly fee is for any limited scope estate or tax planning services performed by Mr. Jacob Stewart that do not fall into a fixed fee. Fixed Fees: Tax Plans are billed at $3,000 per plan. The fee for serving as the financial planning subject matter expert for the Foundation Values-Based Financial Planning system is $5,000 per year per client. Estate Planning reviews are billed at $1,200 per analysis. There is no additional fee charged by Momentum for these financial planning services. Foundation’s fees are charged monthly in arrears, unless advance billing is required by a client. For a complete description of Foundation’s fees and services, refer to the Foundation Form ADV Part 2A provided by Momentum. Fees for Investment Management Services Momentum charges an annual advisory fee that is agreed upon with each client and set forth in an agreement executed by Momentum and the client. If fixed, the advisory fee will be specified on the fee schedule as set forth in the agreement executed by Momentum and the client. If based on a percentage of the value of assets under management, the advisory fee for the initial month shall be paid, on a pro rata basis, in arrears, based on the average daily balance of the client’s accounts for such initial month. For subsequent months, the advisory fee shall be paid, in arrears, based on the average daily balance of the client’s accounts for the month as provided by third-party sources, such as pricing services, custodians, fund administrators, and client-provided sources. For purposes of fee calculation, the asset value of client accounts include cash and cash equivalents, as well as margined securities. Momentum does not reduce management fees for margin borrowing, regardless of whether the assets are in cash or other securities. Momentum has a financial incentive to recommend that clients borrow money for the purchase of additional securities for the client’s account managed by Momentum or otherwise not liquidate some or all the assets Momentum manages. Momentum addresses this conflict of interest by this disclosure and working to ensure that any recommendation to a client regarding the use of margin is suitable for the client. The annual advisory fee ranges up to 1.0% (per annum). 7  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure Notwithstanding the foregoing, Momentum and the client may choose to negotiate an annual advisory fee that varies from the range set forth above. Factors upon which a different annual advisory fee may be based include, but are not limited to, the size and nature of the relationship, the services rendered, the nature and complexity of the products and investments involved, time commitments, and travel requirements. The advisory fee charged by the Firm will apply to all of the client’s assets under management, unless specifically excluded in the client agreement. The advisory fee may include the financial planning services described above. Although Momentum believes that its fees are competitive, clients should understand that lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources and firms. The investment advisory agreement between Momentum and the client may be terminated at will by either Momentum or the client upon written notice. Momentum does not impose termination fees when the client terminates the investment advisory relationship, except when agreed upon in advance. B. Payment of Fees Momentum generally deducts its advisory fee from a client’s investment account(s) held at his/her custodian. Upon engaging Momentum to manage such account(s), a client grants Momentum this limited authority through a written instruction to the custodian of his/her account(s). The client is responsible for verifying the accuracy of the calculation of the advisory fee; the custodian will not determine whether the fee is accurate or properly calculated. A client may utilize the same procedure for financial planning fees if the client has investment accounts held at a custodian. Although clients generally are required to have their investment advisory fees deducted from their accounts, in some cases, Momentum will directly bill a client for investment advisory fees if it determines that such billing arrangement is appropriate given the circumstances. The custodian of the client’s accounts provides each client with a statement, at least quarterly, indicating separate line items for all amounts disbursed from the client's account(s), including any fees paid directly to Momentum. Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to Momentum’s right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that the Firm reserves the right to liquidate transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account. Clients may withdraw account assets at any time on notice to Momentum, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, the Firm generally designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. Momentum may consult with its clients about the options and implications of transferring securities. Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, short- term redemption fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g. contingent deferred sales charges) and/or tax ramifications. 8  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure C. Clients Responsible for Fees Charged by Financial Institutions and External Money Managers In connection with Momentum’s management of an account, a client will incur fees and/or expenses separate from and in addition to Momentum’s advisory fee. These additional fees may include transaction charges and the fees/expenses charged by any custodian, subadvisor, mutual fund, ETF, separate account manager (and the manager’s platform manager, if any), limited partnership, or other advisor, transfer taxes, odd lot differentials, exchange fees, interest charges, ADR processing fees, and any charges, taxes or other fees mandated by any federal, state or other applicable law, retirement plan account fees (where applicable), margin interest, brokerage commissions, mark-ups or mark-downs and other transaction-related costs, electronic fund and wire fees, and any other fees that reasonably may be borne by a brokerage account. For External Managers, clients should review each manager’s Form ADV 2A disclosure brochure and any contract they sign with the External Manager (in a dual contract relationship). The client is responsible for all such fees and expenses. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding brokerage practices. D. Prepayment of Fees As noted in Item 5(B) above, Momentum’s advisory fees generally are paid in arrears. Therefore, upon the termination of a client’s advisory relationship Momentum will not be required to issue a refund for advance billed fees. If there is any instance in which Momentum bills a client fees in advance, Momentum will issue a refund equal to any unearned management fee for the remainder of the month or otherwise agreed upon billing period. The client may specify how he/she would like such refund issued (i.e., a check sent directly to the client or a check sent to the client’s custodian for deposit into his/her account). E. Outside Compensation for the Sale of Securities or Other Investment Products to Clients Momentum does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above. However, as further described in Item 10, certain personnel of Momentum, in their individual capacities, are licensed as insurance professionals. Such persons earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products to clients. Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management Momentum does not charge performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Performance-based fees are fees that are based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s account. 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. Momentum’s fees are calculated as described in Item 5 above. Item 7 - Types of Clients Momentum offers investment advisory services to individuals, including high net worth individuals, families, family offices, trusts, businesses, charitable foundations, and retirement/profit-sharing plans. Momentum does not impose a minimum portfolio size or a minimum initial investment to open an account. 9  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure However, Momentum does reserve the right to accept or decline a potential client for any reason in its sole discretion. Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis and Risk of Loss A primary step in Momentum’s investment strategy is getting to know the clients – to understand their financial condition, risk profile, investment goals, tax situation, liquidity constraints – and assemble a picture of their financial situation. To aid in this understanding, Momentum offers clients financial planning as described above in Item 4. Once Momentum has an understanding of its clients’ needs and goals, the investment process can begin, and the Firm can recommend strategies and investments that it believes are aligned with the client’s investment objective and risk tolerance. Momentum offers and implements a tactical allocation strategy which starts with a mix of equity and fixed income investments based on each client’s investment objective and risk tolerance. Once a client’s target allocation is determined, Momentum adjusts the allocation based on momentum factors with the intent to reduce risk. The momentum factors used by the Firm in seeking to determine general positive or negative trends in the equity market consist of: (i) short term moving averages of the equity market; (ii) long term moving averages of the equity market; and (iii) absolute price of the equity market in one, three and six month timeframes. For these purposes the equity market is represented by the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100 and Russell 2000 indices, as well as other international indices or funds as determined by the Firm. In seeking to reduce risk, Momentum may utilize option strategies, such as selling covered calls and/or buying protective puts. In addition, dependent upon a client’s investment objective and risk tolerance, Momentum offers more traditional buy and hold allocation models. Research and analysis from Momentum is based on numerous sources, including third-party research materials and publicly-available materials in relation to individual equity securities, as well as market reports and other publicly available information. While Momentum generally views its advisory services as employing a long-term investment strategies for its clients, the tactical allocation strategy will include the buying and selling of position that are more short- term in nature, depending on the goals of the client, the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class, and/or the momentum factors. Client portfolios with similar investment objectives and asset allocation goals may own different securities and investments. The client’s portfolio size, tax sensitivity, desire for simplicity, income needs, long-term wealth transfer objectives, time horizon and choice of custodian are all factors that influence Momentum’s investment recommendations. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss. A client can lose all or a substantial portion of his/her investment. A client should be willing to bear such a loss. Some investments are intended only for sophisticated investors and can involve a high degree of risk. B. Material Risks Involved Investing in securities involves a significant risk of loss which clients should be prepared to bear. Momentum’s investment recommendations are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and 10  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure business risks, and such investment decisions will not always be profitable. Clients should be aware that there may be a loss or depreciation to the value of the client’s account. There can be no assurance that the client’s investment objectives will be obtained and no inference to the contrary should be made. Generally, the market value of equity stocks will fluctuate with market conditions, and small-stock prices generally will fluctuate more than large-stock prices. The market value of fixed income securities will generally fluctuate inversely with interest rates and other market conditions prior to maturity. Fixed income securities are obligations of the issuer to make payments of principal and/or interest on future dates, and include, among other securities: bonds, notes and debentures issued by corporations; debt securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or by a non-U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities; municipal securities; and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. These securities may pay fixed, variable, or floating rates of interest, and may include zero coupon obligations and inflation-linked fixed income securities. The value of longer duration fixed income securities will generally fluctuate more than shorter duration fixed income securities. Investments in overseas markets also pose special risks, including currency fluctuation and political risks, and it may be more volatile than that of a U.S. only investment. Such risks are generally intensified for investments in emerging markets. In addition, there is no assurance that a mutual fund or ETF will achieve its investment objective. Past performance of investments is no guarantee of future results. Additional risks involved in the securities recommended by Momentum include, among others: • Stock market risk, which is the chance that stock prices overall will decline. The market value of equity securities will generally fluctuate with market conditions. Stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Prices of equity securities tend to fluctuate over the short term as a result of factors affecting the individual companies, industries or the securities market as a whole. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities. • • Sector risk, which is the chance that significant problems will affect a particular sector, or that returns from that sector will trail returns from the overall stock market. Daily fluctuations in specific market sectors are often more extreme than fluctuations in the overall market. Issuer risk, which is the risk that the value of a security will decline for reasons directly related to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage, and reduced demand for the issuer's goods or services. • Non-diversification risk, which is the risk of focusing investments in a small number of issuers, industries or foreign currencies, including being more susceptible to risks associated with a single economic, political or regulatory occurrence than a more diversified portfolio might be. • Value investing risk, which is the risk that value stocks not increase in price, not issue the anticipated stock dividends, or decline in price, either because the market fails to recognize the stock’s intrinsic value, or because the expected value was misgauged. If the market does not recognize that the securities are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. They also may decline in price even though in theory they are already undervalued. Value stocks are typically less volatile than growth stocks, but may lag behind growth stocks in an up market. • Smaller company risk, which is the risk that the value of securities issued by a smaller company will go up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably as compared to more widely held securities. Investments in smaller companies are subject to greater levels of credit, market and issuer risk. 11  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure • • Foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, which is the risk that investing in foreign securities result in the portfolio experiencing more rapid and extreme changes in value than a portfolio that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. Risks associated with investing in foreign securities include fluctuations in the exchange rates of foreign currencies that may affect the U.S. dollar value of a security, the possibility of substantial price volatility as a result of political and economic instability in the foreign country, less public information about issuers of securities, different securities regulation, different accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and less liquidity than in the U.S. markets. Interest rate risk, which is the chance that prices of fixed income securities decline because of rising interest rates. Similarly, the income from fixed income securities may decline because of falling interest rates. • Credit risk, which is the chance that an issuer of a fixed income security will fail to pay interest and principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of that fixed income security to decline. • Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) risk, which is the risk of an investment in an ETF, including the possible loss of principal. ETFs typically trade on a securities exchange and the prices of their shares fluctuate throughout the day based on supply and demand, which may not correlate to their net asset values. Although ETF shares will be listed on an exchange, there can be no guarantee that an active trading market will develop or continue. Owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities it is designed to track. ETFs are also subject to secondary market trading risks. In addition, an ETF may not replicate exactly the performance of the index it seeks to track for a number of reasons, including transaction costs incurred by the ETF, the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to weighting of securities or number of securities held. • Management risk, which is the risk that the investment techniques and risk analyses applied by Momentum may not produce the desired results and that legislative, regulatory, or tax developments, affect the investment techniques available to Momentum. There is no guarantee that a client’s investment objectives will be achieved. • • Real Estate risk, which is the risk that an investor’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) or real estate-linked derivative instruments will subject the investor to risks similar to those associated with direct ownership of real estate, including losses from casualty or condemnation, and changes in local and general economic conditions, supply and demand, interest rates, zoning laws, regulatory limitations on rents, property taxes and operating expenses. An investment in REITs or real estate-linked derivative instruments subject the investor to management and tax risks. Investment Companies (“Mutual Funds”) risk, when an investor invests in mutual funds, the investor will bear additional expenses based on his/her pro rata share of the mutual fund’s operating expenses, including the management fees. The risk of owning a mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying investments the mutual fund holds. • Options risk, is not suitable for everyone and options are complex securities. Option trading can be speculative in nature and carry substantial risk of loss. It is generally recommended that you invest only in options with risk capital. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a specific price on or before a certain date (i.e., the expiration date). The two types of options are calls and puts. A call gives the holder the right to buy an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. Calls are similar to having a long position on a stock. Buyers of calls hope that the stock will increase 12  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure substantially before the option expires. A put gives the holder the right to sell an asset at a certain price within a specific period of time. Puts are very similar to having a short position on a stock. Buyers of puts hope that the price of the stock will fall before the option expires. Selling options is more complicated and can be even riskier. Option trading risks are closely related to stock risks, as stock options are a derivative of stocks. • Commodity risk, generally commodity prices fluctuate for many reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions or political circumstances (especially of key energy-producing and consuming countries), the impact of weather on demand, levels of domestic production and imported commodities, energy conservation, domestic and foreign governmental regulation (agricultural, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control), international politics, policies of OPEC, taxation and the availability of local, intrastate and interstate transportation systems and the emotions of the marketplace. The risk of loss in trading commodities can be substantial. • Cybersecurity risk, which is the risk related to unauthorized access to the systems and networks of Momentum and its service providers. The computer systems, networks and devices used by Momentum and service providers to us and our clients to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized, systems, networks or devices potentially can be breached. A client could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses to a client; impediments to trading; the inability by us and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or other compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information. Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issues of securities in which a client invests; governmental and other regulatory authorities; exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers and other financial institutions; and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred by those entities in order to prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future. • Alternative Investments / Private Funds risk, investing in alternative investments is speculative, not suitable for all clients, and intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high economic risks of the investment, which can include: • • • • • • • • • loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling or other speculative investment practices; lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the investment and none expected to develop; volatility of returns; restrictions on transferring interests in the investment; potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority when a single adviser is utilized; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; delays in tax reporting; less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds; risks associated with the operations, personnel, and processes of the manager of the funds investing in alternative investments. 13  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure • Closed-End Funds risk, Closed-end funds typically use a high degree of leverage. They may be diversified or non-diversified. Risks associated with closed-end fund investments include liquidity risk, credit risk, volatility and the risk of magnified losses resulting from the use of leverage. Additionally, closed-end funds may trade below their net asset value. Structured Notes risk - • • Complexity. Structured notes are complex financial instruments. Clients should understand the reference asset(s) or index(es) and determine how the note’s payoff structure incorporates such reference asset(s) or index(es) in calculating the note’s performance. This payoff calculation may include leverage multiplied on the performance of the reference asset or index, protection from losses should the reference asset or index produce negative returns, and fees. Structured notes may have complicated payoff structures that can make it difficult for clients to accurately assess their value, risk and potential for growth through the term of the structured note. Determining the performance of each note can be complex and this calculation can vary significantly from note to note depending on the structure. Notes can be structured in a wide variety of ways. Payoff structures can be leveraged, inverse, or inverse-leveraged, which may result in larger returns or losses. Clients should carefully read the prospectus for a structured note to fully understand how the payoff on a note will be calculated and discuss these issues with Momentum. • • Market risk. Some structured notes provide for the repayment of principal at maturity, which is often referred to as “principal protection.” This principal protection is subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. Many structured notes do not offer this feature. For structured notes that do not offer principal protection, the performance of the linked asset or index may cause clients to lose some, or all, of their principal. Depending on the nature of the linked asset or index, the market risk of the structured note may include changes in equity or commodity prices, changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates, and/or market volatility. Issuance price and note value. The price of a structured note at issuance will likely be higher than the fair value of the structured note on the date of issuance. Issuers now generally disclose an estimated value of the structured note on the cover page of the offering prospectus, allowing investors to gauge the difference between the issuer’s estimated value of the note and the issuance price. The estimated value of the notes is likely lower than the issuance price of the note to investors because issuers include the costs for selling, structuring and/or hedging the exposure on the note in the initial price of their notes. After issuance, structured notes may not be re-sold on a daily basis and thus may be difficult to value given their complexity. • Liquidity. The ability to trade or sell structured notes in a secondary market is often very limited, as structured notes (other than exchange-traded notes known as ETNs) are not listed for trading on securities exchanges. As a result, the only potential buyer for a structured note may be the issuing financial institution’s broker-dealer affiliate or the broker-dealer distributor of the structured note. In addition, issuers often specifically disclaim their intention to repurchase or make markets in the notes they issue. Clients should, therefore, be prepared to hold a structured note to its maturity date, or risk selling the note at a discount to its value at the time of sale. 14  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure • Credit risk. Structured notes are unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, meaning that the issuer is obligated to make payments on the notes as promised. These promises, including any principal protection, are only as good as the financial health of the structured note issuer. If the structured note issuer defaults on these obligations, investors may lose some, or all, of the principal amount they invested in the structured notes as well as any other payments that may be due on the structured notes. There also are risks surrounding various insurance products that are recommended to Momentum clients from time to time. Such risks include, but are not limited to loss of premiums. Prior to purchasing any insurance product, clients should carefully read the policy and applicable disclosure documents. Clients are advised that they should only commit assets for management that can be invested for the long term, that volatility from investing can occur, and that all investing is subject to risk. Momentum does not guarantee the future performance of a client’s portfolio, as investing in securities involves the risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance of a security or a fund is not necessarily indicative of future performance or risk of loss. Use of External Managers Momentum may select certain External Managers to manage a portion of its clients’ assets. In these situations, the success of such recommendations relies to a great extent on the External Managers’ ability to successfully implement their investment strategies. Momentum generally may not have the ability to supervise the External Managers on a day-to-day basis. In addition, Momentum utilizes the unaffiliated investment adviser Foundation in the provision of financial planning services. In such a situation, the success of any financial plan relies on the expertise and abilities of Foundation 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 a client’s evaluation of the adviser and the integrity of the adviser’s management. Momentum has no information applicable to this Item. Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Insurance Agent Activities As mentioned above in Item 5, advisory persons of Momentum are licensed as insurance professionals. Such persons earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products to clients. Insurance commissions earned by advisory persons who are insurance professionals are separate from and in addition to Momentum’s advisory fee. This practice presents a conflict of interest as an advisory person who is an insurance professional has an incentive to recommend insurance products for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on client needs. Momentum addresses this conflict through disclosure and strives to make recommendations which are in the best interests of its clients. Clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance products through any person affiliated with Momentum. Momentum clients should understand that lower fees and/or commissions for comparable services may be available from other insurance providers. 15  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure Recommendation of External Managers and Foundation Momentum may recommend that clients use External Managers based on clients’ needs and suitability. Momentum does not receive separate compensation, directly or indirectly, from such External Managers for recommending that clients use their services. In addition, Momentum utilizes the unaffiliated investment adviser Foundation in the provision of financial planning services. Momentum does not have any other business relationships with the recommended External Managers or Foundation. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions A. Description of Code of Ethics Momentum has a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) which requires Momentum’s employees (“supervised persons”) to comply with their legal obligations and fulfill the fiduciary duties owed to the Firm’s clients. Among other things, the Code of Ethics sets forth policies and procedures related to conflicts of interest, outside business activities, gifts and entertainment, compliance with insider trading laws and policies and procedures governing personal securities trading by supervised persons. Personal securities transactions of supervised persons present potential conflicts of interest with the price obtained in client securities transactions or the investment opportunity available to clients. The Code addresses these potential conflicts by prohibiting securities trades that would breach a fiduciary duty to a client and requiring, with certain exceptions, supervised persons to report their personal securities holdings and transactions to Momentum for review by the Firm’s Chief Compliance Officer. The Code also requires supervised persons to obtain pre-approval of certain investments, including initial public offerings and limited offerings. Momentum will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker-Dealers Momentum generally recommends that its investment management clients utilize the custody and brokerage services of an unaffiliated broker/dealer custodians (a “BD/Custodian”) with which Momentum has an institutional relationship. Currently, this includes Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), which is a “qualified custodian” as that term is described in Rule 206(4)-2 of the Advisers Act. Each BD/Custodian provides custody of securities, trade execution, and clearance and settlement of transactions placed on behalf of clients by Momentum. If your accounts are custodied at Schwab, Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. Clients will pay fees to Schwab for custody and the execution of securities transactions in their accounts. In making BD/Custodian recommendations, Momentum will consider a number of judgmental factors, including, without limitation: 1) clearance and settlement capabilities; 2) quality of confirmations and account statements; 3) the ability of the BD/Custodian to settle the trade promptly and accurately; 4) the financial standing, reputation and integrity of the BD/Custodian; 5) the BD/Custodian’s access to 16  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure markets, research capabilities, market knowledge, and any “value added” characteristics; 6) Momentum’s past experience with the BD/Custodian; and 7) Momentum’s past experience with similar trades. Recognizing the value of these factors, clients may pay a brokerage commission in excess of that which another broker might have charged for effecting the same transaction. In exchange for using the services of Schwab, Momentum may receive, without cost, computer software and related systems support that allows Momentum to monitor and service its clients’ accounts maintained with Schwab. Schwab also makes available to the Firm products and services that benefit the Firm but may not directly benefit the client or the client’s account. These products and services assist Momentum in managing and administering client accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. Momentum may use this research to service all or some substantial number of client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available software and other technology that: • provide access to client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmations and account statements); facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts; facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. • • provide pricing and other market data; • • Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include: educational conferences and events; technology, compliance, legal, and business consulting; access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers. • • • publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and • Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide the services to the Firm. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. Schwab may also provide the Firm with other benefits such as occasional business entertainment of Firm personnel. In addition, Momentum receives financial support from Schwab up to capped dollar amount to be used toward qualifying marketing, technology, consulting and/or research expenses incurred by Momentum in registering and launching the operations of Momentum. This financial support is available to Momentum during the first 12 months from the start of Momentum clients having assets custodied at Schwab, and the ultimate amount payable by Schwab is dependent upon the amount of Momentum client assets custodied at Schwab. Furthermore, Schwab has agreed to reimburse account termination fees charged to Momentum clients by the former custodian of the clients’ accounts up to a capped dollar amount. This reimbursement is available during an initial 12 month period. 17  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure The benefits received by Momentum through its participation in the Schwab custodial platform do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Schwab. In addition, there is no corresponding commitment made by Momentum to Schwab to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products as a result of participation in the program. While as a fiduciary, we endeavor to act in our clients’ best interests, our recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab will be based in part on the benefit to Momentum of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab. The receipt of these benefits creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence Momentum’s choice of Schwab for custody and brokerage services. Momentum will periodically review its arrangements with the BD/Custodians and other broker-dealers against other possible arrangements in the marketplace as it strives to achieve best execution on behalf of its clients. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker- dealer’s services, including, but not limited to, the following: • • • • • a broker-dealer’s trading expertise, including its ability to complete trades, execute and settle difficult trades, obtain liquidity to minimize market impact and accommodate unusual market conditions, maintain anonymity, and account for its trade errors and correct them in a satisfactory manner; a broker-dealer’s infrastructure, including order-entry systems, adequate lines of communication, timely order execution reports, an efficient and accurate clearance and settlement process, and capacity to accommodate unusual trading volume; a broker-dealer’s ability to minimize total trading costs while maintaining its financial health, such as whether a broker-dealer can maintain and commit adequate capital when necessary to complete trades, respond during volatile market periods, and minimize the number of incomplete trades; a broker-dealer’s ability to provide research and execution services, including advice as to the value or advisability of investing in or selling securities, analyses and reports concerning such matters as companies, industries, economic trends and political factors, or services incidental to executing securities trades, including clearance, settlement and custody; and a broker-dealer’s ability to provide services to accommodate special transaction needs, such as the broker-dealer’s ability to execute and account for client-directed arrangements and soft dollar arrangements, participate in underwriting syndicates, and obtain initial public offering shares. Momentum’s clients may utilize qualified custodians other than Schwab for certain accounts and assets, particularly where clients have a previous relationship with such qualified custodians. Brokerage for Client Referrals Momentum does not select or recommend BD/Custodians based solely on whether or not it may receive client referrals from a BD/Custodian or third party. 18  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure Client Directed Brokerage Generally, in the absence of specific instructions to the contrary, for brokerage accounts that clients engage Momentum to manage on a discretionary basis, Momentum has full discretion with respect to securities transactions placed in the accounts. This discretion includes the authority, without prior notice to the client, to buy and sell securities for the client’s account and establish and affect securities transactions through the BD/Custodian of the client’s account or other broker-dealers selected by Momentum. In selecting a broker- dealer to execute a client’s securities transactions, Momentum seeks prompt execution of orders at favorable prices. A client, however, may instruct Momentum to custody his/her account at a specific broker-dealer and/or direct some or all of his/her brokerage transactions to a specific broker-dealer. In directing brokerage transactions, a client should consider whether the commission expenses, execution, clearance, settlement capabilities, and custodian fees, if any, are comparable to those that would result if Momentum exercised its discretion in selecting the broker-dealer to execute the transactions. Directing brokerage to a particular broker-dealer may involve the following disadvantages to a directed brokerage client: • Momentum’s ability to negotiate commission rates and other terms on behalf of such • clients could be impaired; such clients could be denied the benefit of Momentum’s experience in selecting broker- dealers that are able to efficiently execute difficult trades; • opportunities to obtain lower transaction costs and better prices by aggregating (batching) • the client’s orders with orders for other clients could be limited; and the client could receive less favorable prices on securities transactions because Momentum may place transaction orders for directed brokerage clients after placing batched transaction orders for other clients. to the custodian and/or broker-dealer in carrying out Momentum’s In addition to accounts managed by Momentum on a discretionary basis where the client has directed the brokerage of his/her account(s), certain institutional accounts may be managed by Momentum on a non- discretionary basis and are held at custodians selected by the institutional client. The decision to use a particular custodian and/or broker-dealer generally resides with the institutional client. Momentum endeavors to understand the trading and execution capabilities of any such custodian and/or broker-dealer, as well as its costs and fees. Momentum may assist the institutional client in facilitating trading and other investment instructions recommendations. Trade Errors Momentum’s goal is to execute trades seamlessly and in the best interests of the client. In the event a trade error occurs, Momentum endeavors to identify the error in a timely manner, correct the error so that the client’s account is in the position it would have been had the error not occurred, and, after evaluating the error, assess what action(s) might be necessary to prevent a recurrence of similar errors in the future. 19  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure Trade errors generally are corrected through the use of a “trade error” account or similar account at Schwab, or another BD, as the case may be. In the event an error is made in a client account custodied elsewhere, Momentum works directly with the broker in question to take corrective action. In all cases, Momentum will take the appropriate measures to return the client’s account to its intended position. B. Trade Aggregation To the extent that the Firm determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities, including securities in which the Firm’s supervised persons may invest, the Firm will generally do so in a fair equitable manner in accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the Advisers Act and guidance provided by the staff of the SEC and consistent with policies and procedures established by the Firm. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Periodic Reviews Financial Planning Services Account Reviews Upon completion and delivery of the financial plan, neither Momentum nor Foundation provide ongoing reviews of the financial plan. Clients may decide, on an annual basis, to engage Foundation so as to provide for an annual review of the financial plan. Foundation will provide the financial planning services described above in Item 4 in providing the annual review. Investment Management Account Reviews While investment management accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis, Momentum’s investment adviser representatives seek to have at least one annual meeting with each client to conduct a formal review of the clients’ accounts. Accounts are reviewed for consistency with the investment strategy and other parameters set forth for the account and to determine if any adjustments need to be made. B. Other Reviews and Triggering Factors In addition to the periodic reviews described above, reviews may be triggered by changes in an account holder’s personal, tax or financial status. Other events that may trigger a review of an account are material changes in market conditions as well as macroeconomic and company- specific events. Clients are encouraged to notify Momentum of any changes in his/her personal financial situation that might affect his/her investment needs, objectives, goals, or time horizon. C. Regular Reports Written brokerage statements are generated no less than quarterly and are sent directly from the qualified custodian. These reports list the account positions, activity in the account over the covered period, and other related information. Clients are also sent confirmations following each brokerage account transaction unless confirmations have been waived. Momentum may also determine to provide account statements and other reporting to clients on a periodic basis. Clients are urged to carefully review all custodial account statements and compare them to any statements and reports provided by Momentum. Momentum statements and reports may vary from custodial 20  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered to Clients Momentum does not receive benefits from third parties for providing investment advice to clients. B. Compensation to Non-Supervised Persons for Client Referrals Momentum does not enter into agreements with individuals or organizations for the referral of clients. Item 15 – Custody All clients must utilize a “qualified custodian” as detailed in Item 12. Clients are required to engage the custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct Momentum to utilize the custodian for the client’s securities transactions. Momentum’s agreement with clients and/or the clients’ separate agreements with the B/D Custodian may authorize Momentum through such BD/Custodian to debit the clients’ accounts for the amount of Momentum’s fee and to directly remit that fee to Momentum in accordance with applicable custody rules. The BD/Custodian recommended by Momentum has agreed to send a statement to the client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of management fees paid directly to Momentum. Momentum encourages clients to review the official statements provided by the custodian, and to compare such statements with any reports or other statements received from Momentum. For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see “Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.” Item 16 – Investment Discretion Clients have the option of providing Momentum with investment discretion on their behalf, pursuant to a grant of a limited power of attorney contained in Momentum’s client agreement. By granting Momentum investment discretion, a client authorizes Momentum to direct securities transactions and determine which securities are bought and sold, the total amount to be bought and sold, and the costs at which the transactions will be effected. Clients may impose reasonable limitations in the form of specific constraints on any of these areas of discretion with the consent and written acknowledgement of Momentum if Momentum determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly burdensome for Momentum. See also Item 4(C), Client-Tailored Advisory Services. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities Momentum does not accept the authority to and does not vote proxies on behalf of clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for all and any securities maintained in client portfolios. 21  Momentum Wealth Planning Disclosure Brochure Item 18 – Financial Information Momentum is not required to disclose any financial information pursuant to this item due to the following: a) Momentum does not require or solicit the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six months or more in advance of rendering services; b) Momentum is unaware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its contractual commitments relating to its discretionary authority over certain client accounts; and c) Momentum has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition. 44786892.1 22
