DESCRIPTION OF ADVISORY FIRM Founded in 2014, Monere Wealth Management, Inc. (“MWMI”) is a privately owned full-service investment firm. Monere Wealth Management, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Monere Holdings, Inc. Mr. Thomas A. Bono, Chairman and CEO, is also the firm’s biggest shareholder. With a comprehensive menu of quality products and services, MWMI has entered into an agreement with Pershing LLC® (“Pershing”) to provide custody to all Monere’s accounts and provide certain advisory products. Working with Pershing gives MWMI access to a wide range of products and services that can help serve the needs of our clients. Pershing is a service provider, custodian and clearing firm to MWMI. MWMI has also entered into an agreement with Pershing Wealth Solutions (“Pershing”) previously known as Lockwood Advisors, LLC. (“Lockwood”) an advisory product provider, pursuant to which Pershing provides portfolio management, advisory and/or other services with respect to the Programs offered by MWMI. Clients of investment advisory accounts described herein remain clients of MWMI at all times, however, Pershing provides among other things portfolio management, third-party portfolio management within their wrap programs, performance reporting, billing and/or other services to MWMI with respect to all of the programs.. MWMI is not related to, or affiliated with Pershing or Lockwood. Both Pershing and Lockwood are wholly-owned subsidiaries of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (“BNY”), a publicly traded company. At all times MWMI monitors such accounts pursuant to its agreement with clients. B. DESCRIPTION OF ADVISORY SERVICES OFFERED MWMI’s menu of Advisory Services, which include financial planning services, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, portfolio management for institutional clients other than investment companies, pension consulting services, and selection of other advisors, is designed to address many different types of investors and their particular styles, needs and preferences. MWMI’s Advisory Services bring the client’s investment possibilities to greater levels through personal and customized approaches, as well as access to some pretty unique and exclusive resources in the investment world. In addition, MWMI’s Wealth Advisors work with multiple investment platforms to provide independent research and due diligence on a wide range of investment alternatives including money manager and mutual fund advisory services. Advisory Services are designed to address our clients’ different types of investor styles, needs and preferences. Using Advisory Services, you and your Wealth Advisor will develop a personal, customized portfolio to meet your specific investment needs. You receive detailed, quarterly performance reporting to complement your monthly custodian statements, and to keep you on track in achieving your financial objectives. We offer four main kinds of Advisory Services accounts through platforms offered at Pershing with Pershing (our clearing firm) serving as custodian. The solution you and your Wealth Advisor arrive at will depend on a variety of factors, including your net worth, risk tolerance, time horizon and tax situation. • Client-Directed: You partner with your Wealth Advisor to make decisions about investments and use fee- based pricing as an alternative to commission-based pricing. This advisory relationship includes the benefit of one-on-one consultations to establish an investment plan, professional investment advice based on objective research and customized objectives, and ongoing portfolio monitoring and service. • Mutual Funds/ETF (Exchange Traded Funds) Advisory: We construct an investment portfolio for you using an appropriate mix of recommended mutual funds or exchange traded funds; the mutual funds used in this program are no-load or load-waived. You will have a diversified investment program, with customized allocation, while receiving access to a large universe of mutual funds/exchange traded funds; including many available only to institutional investors. 2/3/2026 Page 5 • Advisor-Managed Accounts: Use a customized portfolio management program geared toward your specific investment goals. Your Wealth Advisor, who has met stringent criteria based on experience and expertise, acts as your professional portfolio manager. • Outside Professional Managed Accounts: Professional managers develop disciplines for buying and selling securities which eliminate decision-making based on other influences, such as emotions. By electing to have experienced institutional professionals manage your portfolio, you free yourself from the time- consuming task of choosing and actively managing your investments. The investment advisory service provided by MWMI may include an allocation to traditional investments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and separately managed accounts., etc., and may include an allocation to alternative investments such as private equity, hard money lending, hedge funds, precious metals, etc. Should MWMI encounter a client need that is outside the scope of our expertise, we may engage the assistance of outside counsel. For example, if we are reviewing private equity opportunities in commercial real estate, MWMI may seek additional guidance from experts with experience specific to the market opportunity being reviewed. Resulting from our due diligence review, we may identify situations where our client would benefit from an introduction to other MWMI clients or outside advisors, which we may facilitate upon receiving permission from the respective parties. Further, MWMI may encounter situations where specific clients may be interested in participating in “Club Deals.” MWMI will assist clients in the due diligence process of reviewing and executing specific opportunities that may arise. MWMI also reserves the right to restrict, or refuse certain investments considered by us not suitable, too risky or where certain due diligence process cannot be completed in order to make an investment decision. B.1. DISCRETIONARY ASSET MANAGEMENT SERVICES For its discretionary asset management services, MWMI receives a limited power of attorney to effect securities transactions on behalf of its clients that include securities and strategies described in Item 8 of this brochure. In addition to providing MWMI with information regarding your personal financial circumstances, investment objectives and tolerance for risk, you are required to provide the firm with any reasonable investment restrictions that should be imposed on the management of your portfolio, and to promptly notify the firm of any changes in such restrictions or in your personal financial circumstances, investment objectives, goals and tolerance for risk. On a quarterly basis, MWMI’s reports will remind you of your obligation to inform the firm of any such changes or any restrictions that should be imposed on the management of your account. MWMI will also contact you at least annually to determine whether there have been any changes in your personal financial circumstances, investment objectives and tolerance for risk. B.1.a. Monere Wealth Management, Inc. Platform Clients are able to access a full suite of investment products through the MWMI platform. Any of the managed products offered by MWMI are provided through the Pershing platform with Pershing clearing and custodial services. In addition, the following wrap programs sponsored by MWMI are available to our clients.

Directions clients may select from a variety of pre-defined discretionary managed mutual fund and ETF portfolios (for example there are five Russell Funds’ 2/3/2026 Page 6 portfolios), or customize an allocation using help from their Wealth Advisor. The minimum to open this account is $25,000. • The Personal Investment Manager (PIM) Program provides clients with selected Financial Consultants of MWMI who will develop disciplined portfolios based on certain established PIM guidelines and the client’s investment objectives and individual needs as established in investment portfolio and strategy criteria.

The minimum to open this account is $250,000. B.2. FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES MWMI offers the following financial planning services: • Retirement Planning - Our comprehensive process allows you and your Wealth Advisor to assess your financial situation and then build a clear, sensible and comprehensive strategy to guide you through the stages of your life as you work toward retirement.

You will learn what kind of expense each savings method covers as well as any tax-advantaged benefits that might be available. Your knowledgeable MWMI Wealth Advisor will walk you through your choices using our convenient, highly detailed, college financial planning tools, and show you how education savings can fit into your overall wealth management plan. Getting started early means your money has longer to grow. • Managing Risk - First, it is important to identify your own tolerance for risk, which means not only your own emotional attitude towards risk-taking, but the overall picture of your time horizons and financial goals. Then, since risk and return are interrelated, your MWMI Advisor will customize recommendations and advice with a view toward maintaining a risk level that is comfortable for you. As you move forward in life, your tolerance for risk may change. • Business Succession Planning – Monere Wealth Management, Inc. has seasoned professionals who can provide you with broad market experience and highly customized solutions.

METHODS OF COMPENSATION AND FEE SCHEDULE A.1. ADVISORY SERVICES FEES A.1.a. Monere Wealth Management, Inc. Wealth Services Platform MWMI’s fee for the services is an asset-based fee calculated as a percentage of the total market value of the managed assets, calculated according to the following fee schedule. All fees are negotiable. Account Value All Assets Annualized Investment Advisory Fee 3.00% maximum MWMI requires a minimum household portfolio value of $50,000 ($25,000 for Mutual funds and ETFs) and a minimum quarterly fee of $250. For accounts less than the required minimum, clients may be able to obtain similar services at a more favorable economic arrangement. To the extent MWMI negotiates a tiered fee schedule, the following account value tiers must mirror what’s below, but the fee per tier may be negotiated. This grid is part of your advisory agreement. Please be advised that fees for similarly situated customers may differ between MWMI’s Wealth Advisors due to a variety of circumstances. Billing tiers as reflected in the client advisory agreement are based on the account value: From $0.01 to $250,000.00 $250,000.00 to $500,000.00 $500,000.00 to 1 mil 1 mil and above You will authorize the qualified custodian to automatically deduct the fee and all other charges payable hereunder from the assets in the account when due with such payments to be reflected on the next account statement sent to the client. If insufficient cash is available to pay such fees, securities in an amount equal to the balance of unpaid fees will be liquidated to pay for the unpaid balance. MWMI may modify the fee at any time upon five (5) days’ prior written notice to you. In the event you have an ERISA-governed plan, fee modifications must be approved in writing by you. Asset-based fees are always subject to the investment advisory agreement between you and MWMI. Such fees are payable quarterly in advance. The fees will be prorated if the investment advisory relationship commences otherwise than at the beginning of a calendar quarter. Adjustments for significant contributions to your portfolio are prorated for the quarter in which the change occurs; no adjustments will be made for withdrawals. In Illinois, unless a client has received the firm’s disclosure brochure at least 48 hours prior to signing the investment advisory contract, the investment advisory contract may be terminated by the client within five (5) business days of signing the contract without incurring any advisory fees. A.2. FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES MWMI offers either hourly or fixed fee arrangements to all financial planning clients. Financial planning fees will be billed at the rate of $250 per hour or a fixed fee mutually agreed upon by the client and MWMI. Fixed fees are computed based upon a good faith estimate of hours required to perform services. Fixed fees would be an alternative method for clients who in addition to financial planning require additional services, but want to know their total annual expense. MWMI attempts to maintain parity with hourly and fixed charges while allowing some flexibility in estimation, taking into account case complexity and client-specific circumstances. 2/3/2026 Page 9 Fees will be based upon both the hourly fee and the number of hours to perform the requested services. You will be billed directly for such services. The financial planning agreement is for a period of one year, at which point the client may choose to sign a renewal agreement. MWMI will provide an invoice for the renewal, which will provide the details of cost and services being provided. Your payment of that invoice will constitute a renewal under the terms of the initial agreement. If you choose not to renew, the agreement will simply expire upon completion of this first year. Fees are payable upon completion of the engagement and are due immediately upon receipt of invoice for the services. The agreement may be terminated at any time by providing written notice to all appropriate parties. Services will be terminated upon receipt of such notice without penalty. You will receive a full refund of all fees if the agreement is canceled within 5 days after the date the agreement is signed. B. CLIENT PAYMENT OF FEES B1. ADVISORY SERVICES MWMI requires that you authorize the direct debit of fees from your accounts. Exceptions may be granted subject to the firm’s consent for you to be billed directly for our fees. For directly debited fees, the custodian’s periodic statements will show each fee deduction from the account. You may withdraw this authorization for direct billing of these fees at any time by notifying us or your custodian in writing. MWMI will deduct advisory fees directly from your account provided that (i) you provide written authorization to your custodian, and (ii) the custodian sends you a statement, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account. If the cash portion of your Account is not sufficient to pay the advisory fees, the custodian may liquidate assets selected by us or by the custodian to pay such fees. Except for the first calendar quarter in which your Account is open, the investment advisory fee is paid in advance, is due and payable on the first day of each calendar quarter. The investment advisory fee for the first calendar quarter that your account is open will be payable with the following quarter’s investment advisory fee. For the calendar quarter in which the agreement is terminated, the investment advisory fee will be prorated based upon the number of days that services are provided and you will receive a refund of any remaining balance of prepaid fees. You are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the fee calculation, as your custodian will not verify the calculation. B.2. FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES You will be billed directly for financial planning services. The financial planning agreement is for a period of one year, at which point the client may choose to sign a renewal agreement. MWMI will provide an invoice for the renewal, which will provide the details of cost and services being provided. Your payment of that invoice will constitute a renewal under the terms of this initial agreement. If you choose not to renew, the agreement will simply expire upon completion of this first year. Fees are payable upon completion of the engagement and are immediately due upon receipt of invoice for the services. The financial planning agreement may be terminated at any time by providing written notice to all appropriate parties. Services will be terminated upon receipt of such notice without penalty. C. ADDITIONAL CLIENT FEES CHARGED All fees paid for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, separate account managers, private placement, pooled investment vehicles, broker-dealers, and custodians retained by clients. Such fees and expenses are described in each exchange-traded fund and mutual fund’s prospectus, each separate account manager’s Form ADV and Brochure and Brochure Supplement or similar disclosure statement, each private placement or pooled investment vehicle’s confidential offering memoranda, and by any broker-dealer or custodian retained by the client. Clients are advised to read these materials carefully before investing. If a mutual fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge as further described in the mutual fund’s prospectus. A client using MWMI may be precluded 2/3/2026 Page 10 from using certain mutual funds or separate account managers because they may not be offered by the client's custodian. Please refer to the Brokerage Practices section (Item 12) for additional information regarding the firm’s brokerage practices. D. PREPAYMENT OF CLIENT FEES D.1. ADVISORY SERVICES MWMI generally requires fees to be prepaid on a quarterly basis. MWMI’s fees will either be paid directly by you or disbursed to MWMI by the qualified custodian of your investment accounts, subject to your prior written consent. The custodian will deliver directly to you an account statement, at least quarterly, showing all investment and transaction activity for the period, including fee disbursements from the account. A client investment advisory agreement may be canceled by either party with five (5) days’ prior written notice. Upon termination, any unearned, prepaid fees will refunded to you within 30 days of receipt of your written notice. The amount of the refund will be calculated based upon the amount charged minus the number of billable days left in the quarter excluding the day of termination. You have the right to terminate an agreement without penalty within five business days after entering into the agreement. D.2. FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES Fees are payable upon completion of the engagement and are immediately due upon receipt of invoice for the services. The agreement terminates upon completion of the services. The agreement may be terminated at any time by providing written notice to all appropriate parties. Services will be terminated upon receipt of such notice without penalty. E. EXTERNAL COMPENSATION FOR THE SALE OF SECURITIES TO CLIENTS MWMI’s advisory professionals are compensated primarily through a salary and bonus structure. MWMI’s advisory professionals may be paid sales, service or administrative fees for the sale of mutual funds or other investment products. MWMI’s advisory professionals may receive commission-based compensation for the sale of securities, insurance and other products. Brokerage services are provided by Monere Investments, Inc. Both Monere Wealth Management, Inc. and Monere Investments, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiaries of Monere Holdings, Inc. Please see Item 10.C. for detailed information and conflicts of interest. 2/3/2026 Page 11 ITEM 6: PERFORMANCE BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT To help in avoiding conflicts of interest, Monere Wealth Management, Inc. (MWMI) does not allow its financial advisors to participate in performance-based fee accounts, or side-by-side management. 2/3/2026 Page 12 ITEM 7: TYPES OF CLIENTS Monere Wealth Management, Inc. (MWMI) has about 10 financial advisors providing Advisory Services to roughly 570 accounts built on a Client base, consisting mainly of individual and high net worth individual accounts (each consisting of between 20% and 50% of MWMI Client base respectively), followed by pension and profit sharing plans (up to 10%), charitable organizations (up to 10%) and corporations or other businesses (up to 10%). As of December 31, 2024, total client assets under management are approximately $312 million. $231 million are managed directly by Monere Wealth Management, Inc.’s wealth advisors, of which approximately $81 million is managed on a discretionary basis and the rest, approximately $231 million, is managed on a non-discretionary basis. Monere Wealth Management, Inc.’s Advisory Services Clients have the freedom to choose from a comprehensive portfolio of what we believe are best-in-class programs. Depending on the features of each individual program, such as the level of diversification, the rebalancing rate, liquidity of investments, etc., the program’s managers can implement account minimum investment requirements. The purpose of the account minimum investment requirements is to set the minimum investment permitted to the lowest dollar amount that the program manager feels will allow him to effectively implement the program’s market assumptions. 2/3/2026 Page 13 ITEM 8: METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS A. METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND INVESTMENT STRATEGIES MWMI uses a variety of sources of data to conduct its economic, investment and market analysis, such as financial newspapers and magazines, economic and market research materials prepared by others, conference calls hosted by mutual funds, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectuses, and company press releases. It is important to keep in mind that there is no specific approach to investing that guarantees success or positive returns; investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. MWMI and its investment adviser representatives are responsible for identifying and implementing the methods of analysis used in formulating investment recommendations to clients. The methods of analysis may include quantitative methods for optimizing client portfolios, computer-based risk/return analysis, technical analysis, and statistical and/or computer models utilizing long-term economic criteria. • Optimization involves the use of mathematical algorithms to determine the appropriate mix of assets given the firm’s current capital market rate assessment and a particular client’s risk tolerance. • Quantitative methods include analysis of historical data such as price and volume statistics, performance data, standard deviation and related risk metrics, how the security performs relative to the overall stock market, earnings data, price to earnings ratios, and related data. • Technical analysis involves charting price and volume data as reported by the exchange where the security is traded to look for price trends. • Computer models may be used to derive the future value of a security based on assumptions of various data categories such as earnings, cash flow, profit margins, sales, and a variety of other company specific metrics. In addition, MWMI reviews research material prepared by others, as well as corporate filings, corporate rating services, and a variety of financial publications. MWMI may employ outside vendors or utilize third-party software to assist in formulating investment recommendations to clients. CLIENTS SHOULD BE AWARE OF RISKS INHERENT IN INVESTING, INCLUDING THE POSSIBLE LOSS OF CAPITAL. A.1. MUTUAL FUNDS, INDIVIDUAL AND FIXED INCOME SECURITIES, THIRD-PARTY SEPARATE ACCOUNT MANAGERS, AND POOLED INVESTMENT VEHICLES MWMI may recommend (i) separate account managers to manage client assets; (ii) no-load and load-waived mutual funds and individual securities (including fixed income instruments); and (iii) pooled investment vehicles. MWMI may also assist the client in selecting one or more appropriate manager(s) for all or a portion of the client’s portfolio. Such managers will typically manage assets for clients who commit to the manager a minimum amount of assets established by that manager—a factor that MWMI will take into account when recommending managers to clients. A description of the criteria to be used in formulating an investment recommendation for mutual funds, ETFs, individual securities (including fixed-income securities), managers, and pooled investment vehicles is set forth below. MWMI has formed relationships with third-party vendors that provide a technological platform for separate account management prepare performance reports perform or distribute research of individual securities perform billing and certain other administrative tasks     MWMI may utilize additional independent third parties to assist it in recommending and monitoring individual securities, mutual funds, managers and pooled investment vehicles to clients as appropriate under the circumstances. 2/3/2026 Page 14 MWMI reviews certain quantitative and qualitative criteria related to mutual funds and managers and to formulate investment recommendations to its clients. Quantitative criteria may include    the performance history of a mutual fund or manager evaluated against that of its peers and other benchmarks an analysis of risk-adjusted returns an analysis of the manager’s contribution to the investment return (e.g., manager’s alpha), standard deviation of returns over specific time periods, sector and style analysis the fund, sub-advisor or manager’s fee structure the relevant portfolio manager’s tenure   Qualitative criteria used in recommending mutual funds or managers include the investment objectives and/or management style and philosophy of a mutual fund or manager; a mutual fund or manager’s consistency of investment style; and employee turnover and efficiency and capacity. MWMI will discuss relevant quantitative and qualitative factors pertaining to its recommendations with clients prior to a client’s determination to retain a mutual fund or manager. Quantitative and qualitative criteria related to mutual funds and managers are reviewed by MWMI on a quarterly basis or such other interval as mutually agreed upon by the client and MWMI. In addition, mutual funds or managers are reviewed to determine the extent to which their investments reflect efforts to time the market, or evidence style drift such that their portfolios no longer accurately reflect the particular asset category attributed to the mutual fund or manager by MWMI (both of which are negative factors in implementing an asset allocation structure). Based on its review, MWMI will make recommendations to clients regarding the retention or discharge of a mutual fund or manager. MWMI may negotiate reduced account minimum balances and reduced fees with managers under various circumstances (e.g., for clients with minimum level of assets committed to the manager for specific periods of time, etc.). There can be no assurance that clients will receive any reduced account minimum balances or fees, or that all clients, even if apparently similarly situated, will receive any reduced account minimum balances or fees available to some other clients. Also, account minimum balances and fees may significantly differ between clients. Each client’s individual needs and circumstances will determine portfolio weighting, which can have an impact on fees given the funds or managers utilized. MWMI will endeavor to obtain equal treatment for its clients with funds or managers, but cannot assure equal treatment or equal outcome to all clients. MWMI will regularly review the activities of mutual funds and managers selected by the client. Clients that engage managers or who invest in mutual funds should first review and understand the disclosure documents of those managers or mutual funds, which contain information relevant to such retention or investment, including information on the methodology used to analyze securities, investment strategies, fees and conflicts of interest. Similarly, clients qualified to invest in pooled investment vehicles should review the private placement memoranda or other disclosure materials relating to such vehicles before making a decision to invest. A.2. MATERIAL RISKS OF INVESTMENT INSTRUMENTS MWMI typically invests in individual equity and fixed income securities, open-end mutual funds and exchange- traded funds for the vast majority of its clients. However, MWMI does not restrict itself in the types of securities it may utilize, if appropriate for the client. The securities most commonly used in its Advisory Services may include the following types of securities:  Equity securities  Mutual fund securities  Exchange-traded funds  Fixed income securities  Corporate debt securities, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit  Corporate debt obligations  Options 2/3/2026 Page 15 A.2.a. Equity Securities Investing in individual companies involves inherent risk. The major risks relate to the company’s capitalization, quality of the company’s management, quality and cost of the company’s services, the company’s ability to manage costs, efficiencies in the manufacturing or service delivery process, management of litigation risk, and the company’s ability to create shareholder value (i.e., increase the value of the company’s stock price). Foreign securities, in addition to the general risks of equity securities, have geopolitical risk, financial transparency risk, currency risk, regulatory risk and liquidity risk. A.2.c. Mutual Fund Securities Investing in mutual funds carries inherent risk. The major risks of investing in a mutual fund include the quality and experience of the portfolio management and its ability to create fund value by investing in securities that have positive growth, the amount of individual company diversification, the type and amount of industry diversification, and the type and amount of sector diversification within specific industries. In addition, mutual funds tend to be tax inefficient and therefore investors may pay capital gains taxes on fund investments while not having yet sold the fund. A.2.d. Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) ETFs are investment companies whose shares are bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF holds a portfolio of securities designed to track a particular market segment or index. Some examples of ETFs are SPDRs®, streetTRACKS®, DIAMONDSSM, NASDAQ 100 Index Tracking StockSM (“QQQs SM”) iShares® and VIPERs®. The funds could purchase an ETF to gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or foreign market. The funds, as a shareholder of another investment company, will bear their pro-rata portion of the other investment company’s advisory fee and other expenses, in addition to their own expenses. Investing in ETFs involves risk. Specifically, ETFs, depending on the underlying portfolio and its size, can have wide price (bid and ask) spreads, thus diluting or negating any upward price movement of the ETF or enhancing any downward price movement. Also, ETFs require more frequent portfolio reporting by regulators and are thereby more susceptible to actions by hedge funds that could have a negative impact on the price of the ETF. Certain ETFs may employ leverage, which creates additional volatility and price risk depending on the amount of leverage utilized, the collateral and the liquidity of the supporting collateral. Further, the use of leverage (i.e., employing the use of margin) generally results in additional interest costs to the ETF. Certain ETFs are highly leveraged and therefore have additional volatility and liquidity risk. Volatility and liquidity can severely and negatively impact the price of the ETF’s underlying portfolio securities, thereby causing significant price fluctuations of the ETF. A.2.e. Fixed Income Securities Fixed income securities carry additional risks than those of equity securities described above. These risks include the company’s ability to retire its debt at maturity, the current interest rate environment, the coupon interest rate promised to bondholders, legal constraints, jurisdictional risk (U.S or foreign) and currency risk. If bonds have maturities of ten years or greater, they will likely have greater price swings when interest rates move up or down. The shorter the maturity the less volatile the price swings. Foreign bonds have liquidity and currency risk. A.2.f. Corporate Debt, Commercial Paper and Certificates of Deposit Fixed income securities carry additional risks than those of equity securities described above. These risks include the company’s ability to retire its debt at maturity, the current interest rate environment, the coupon interest rate promised to bondholders, legal constraints, jurisdictional risk (U.S or foreign) and currency risk. If bonds have maturities of ten years or greater, they will likely have greater price swings when interest rates move up or down. The shorter the maturity the less volatile the price swings. Foreign bonds also have liquidity and currency risk. Commercial paper and certificates of deposit are generally considered safe instruments, although they are subject to the level of general interest rates, the credit quality of the issuing bank and the length of maturity. With respect 2/3/2026 Page 16 to certificates of deposit, depending on the length of maturity there can be prepayment penalties if the client needs to convert the certificate of deposit to cash prior to maturity. B. INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND METHOD OF ANALYSIS MATERIAL RISKS Our investment strategy is generally long term in nature and predicated on a diversified, portfolio of securities custom-tailored to the client’s goals, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and personal and financial circumstances. As discussed above, we primarily use individual equity and fixed securities, exchange-traded funds, and open end mutual funds. In appropriate circumstances, we may utilize separate account managers covering a wide variety of investment strategies and asset classes. B.1. MARGIN LEVERAGE Although MWMI, as a general business practice, does not utilize leverage, there may be instances in which exchange-traded funds, other separate account managers and, in very limited circumstances, MWMI will utilize leverage. In this regard please review the following: The use of margin leverage enhances the overall risk of investment gain and loss to the client’s investment portfolio. For example, investors are able to control $2 of a security for $1. So if the price of a security rises by $1, the investor earns a 100% return on their investment. Conversely, if the security declines by $.50, then the investor loses 50% of their investment. The use of margin leverage entails borrowing, which results in additional interest costs to the investor. Broker-dealers who carry customer accounts require a minimum equity requirement when clients utilize margin leverage. The minimum equity requirement is stated as a percentage of the value of the underlying collateral security with an absolute minimum dollar requirement. For example, if the price of a security declines in value to the point where the excess equity used to satisfy the minimum requirement dissipates, the broker-dealer will require the client to deposit additional collateral to the account in the form of cash or marketable securities. A deposit of securities to the account will require a larger deposit, as the security being deposited is included in the computation of the minimum equity requirement. In addition, when leverage is utilized and the client needs to withdraw cash, the client must sell a disproportionate amount of collateral securities to release enough cash to satisfy the withdrawal amount based upon similar reasoning as cited above. Regulations concerning the use of margin leverage are established by the Federal Reserve Board and vary if the client’s account is held at a broker-dealer versus a bank custodian. Broker-dealers and bank custodians may apply more stringent rules as they deem necessary. B.2. SHORT-TERM TRADING Although MWMI, as a general business practice, does not utilize short-term trading, there may be instances in which short-term trading may be necessary or an appropriate strategy. In this regard, please read the following: There is an inherent risk for clients who trade frequently in that high-frequency trading creates substantial transaction costs that in the aggregate could negatively impact account performance. B.3. SHORT SELLING MWMI generally does not engage in short selling but reserves the right to do so in the exercise of its sole judgment. Short selling involves the sale of a security that is borrowed rather than owned. When a short sale is effected, the investor is expecting the price of the security to decline in value so that a purchase or closeout of the short sale can be effected at a significantly lower price. The primary risks of effecting short sales is the availability to borrow the stock, the unlimited potential for loss, and the requirement to fund any difference between the short credit balance and the market value of the security. 2/3/2026 Page 17 B.4. OPTION STRATEGIES Various option strategies give the holder the right to acquire or sell underlying securities at the contract strike price up until expiration of the option. Each contract is worth 100 shares of the underlying security. Options entail greater risk but allow an investor to have market exposure to a particular security or group of securities without the capital commitment required to purchase the underlying security or groups of securities. In addition, options allow investors to hedge security positions held in the portfolio. For detailed information on the use of options and option strategies, please contact the Options Clearing Corporation for the current Options Risk Disclosure Statement. MWMI as part of its investment strategy may employ the following option strategies:  Covered call writing  Long call options purchases  Long put options purchases B.4.a. Covered Call Writing Covered call writing is the sale of in-, at-, or out-of-the-money call option against a long security position held in the client portfolio. This type of transaction is used to generate income. It also serves to create downside protection in the event the security position declines in value. Income is received from the proceeds of the option sale. Such income may be reduced to the extent it is necessary to buy back the option position prior to its expiration. This strategy may involve a degree of trading velocity, transaction costs and significant losses if the underlying security has volatile price movement. Covered call strategies are generally suited for companies with little price volatility. B.4.b. Long Call Option Purchases Long call option purchases allow the option holder to be exposed to the general market characteristics of a security without the outlay of capital necessary to own the security. Options are wasting assets and expire (usually within nine months of issuance), and as a result can expose the investor to significant loss. B.4.c. Long Put Option Purchases Long put option purchases allow the option holder to sell or “put” the underlying security at the contract strike price at a future date. If the price of the underlying security declines in value, the value of the long put option increases. In this way long puts are often used to hedge a long stock position. Options are wasting assets and expire (usually within nine months of issuance), and as a result can expose the investor to significant loss. C. SECURITY-SPECIFIC MATERIAL RISKS There is an inherent risk for clients who have their investment portfolios heavily weighted in one security, one industry or industry sector, one geographic location, one investment manager, one type of investment instrument (equities versus fixed income). Clients, who have diversified portfolios, as a general rule, incur less volatility and therefore less fluctuation in portfolio value than those who have concentrated holdings. Concentrated holdings may offer the potential for higher gain, but also offer the potential for significant loss. 2/3/2026 Page 18 ITEM 9: DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION Monere Wealth Management, Inc. is an Investment Advisory subsidiary of Monere Holdings, Inc. The disciplinary events listed below are related to the activities of the investment advisor. For more information on the firm’s disciplinary events you may visit the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov and the FINRA website at https://brokercheck.finra.org/ A. CRIMINAL OR CIVIL ACTIONS There is nothing to report on this item. B. ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS There is nothing to report on this item. C. SELF-REGULATORY ORGANIZATION ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS There is nothing to report on this item. 2/3/2026 Page 19 ITEM 10: OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITY AND AFFILIATIONS A. BROKER-DEALER OR REPRESENTATIVE REGISTRATION Monere Wealth Management, Inc. is registered as an investment advisor and as such its members and registered advisory personnel are registered representatives with MWMI. Some of the MWMI representatives may also be registered with Monere Investments, Inc., a broker-dealer. Both entities are a wholly owned subsidiaries of Monere Holdings, Inc. As a result of MWMI’s members and registered professionals’ dual registration, such professionals are subject to the general oversight of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. (“FINRA”). As such, clients of MWMI should understand that their personal and account information is available to FINRA for the fulfillment of their regulatory oversight obligations and duties. B. FUTURES OR COMMODITY REGISTRATION Monere’s registration with National Futures Association as an IB (Introducing Broker) was terminated October, 2020. Monere did not engaged in any sale of managed futures products, thus the firm decided to terminate its registration. C. MATERIAL RELATIONSHIPS MAINTAINED BY THIS ADVISORY BUSINESS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST C.1. BROKER-DEALER REGISTRATION Monere Holdings, Inc., a parent company of MWMI also owns Monere Investments, Inc. an entity registered as a broker-dealer, and as such MWMI’s members and registered advisory personnel may be registered representatives with Monere Investments, Inc. As a result of MWMI’s members and registered professionals’ dual registration, such professionals are subject to the general oversight of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. (“FINRA”). As such, clients of MWMI should understand that their personal and account information is available to FINRA for the fulfillment of their regulatory oversight obligations and duties. MWMI’s professionals who effect transactions for advisory clients may receive transaction or commission compensation from such transactions. The recommendation of securities transactions for commission creates a conflict of interest in that MWMI is economically incented to effect securities transactions for clients. Although the firm strives to put its clients’ interests first, such recommendations may be viewed as being in the best interests of MWMI rather than in the client’s best interest. Advisory clients are not compelled to effect securities transactions through Monere Investments, Inc. C.2. PERSHING, LLC MWMI’s Clients’ accounts are carried by Pershing, LLC. Pershing, LLC is an affiliate of The Bank of New York (BNY) and is owned indirectly by The Bank of New York. Pershing and BNY are members of all principal stock exchanges in the United States, including the NYSE and NASDAQ. Pershing and BNY are also members of FINRA and SIPC. C.3. BANK OF NEW YORK Pershing, LLC is a non-bank affiliate of BNY. Unless otherwise stated as the case, the investment advisory services offered and the underlying stock, bonds, mutual funds and other securities bought or sold through MWMI and their clearing firm, Pershing, LLC, are not deposits of any bank and are not insured or otherwise protected by the FDIC or another government agency. They are not obligations of any bank or any affiliate of MWMI or Pershing, LLC; are not endorsed or guaranteed by MWMI, Monere Investments, Inc., Pershing, LLC, BNY, or any bank or any affiliate of BNY; and involve investment risk including possible loss of principal. Cash balances in Client Accounts may be held in a sponsored depository product. Depository products, like the cash sweep program, are protected by FDIC insurance up to applicable limits. 2/3/2026 Page 20 Cash balances in the account may be invested in money market mutual funds including, as permitted by law, those with which Pershing, LLC has agreements to provide advisory, administrative, distribution, and other services and for which Pershing, LLC receives compensation for the services rendered. As a shareholder of a money market fund, in addition to fees paid by the Client to Pershing, LLC under this Program, the Client will bear a proportionate share of the money market fund's expenses, including the investment management fees that are paid to the fund's investment advisor. For more information about these funds, refer to their prospectuses. Please be advised that although MWMI makes every effort to place its clients’ interests first, the recommendation of outside portfolio managers of which some may be affiliates of BNY, and its related managed investment products, may be viewed by some as being in the best interest of MWMI because it may provide leverage to maintain a favorable clearing cost structure which may benefit brokerage customers of Monere Investments, Inc. who are not advisory clients. C.4. INSURANCE SALES Certain associated persons of MWMI are licensed insurance agents. With respect to the provision of financial planning services, MWMI professionals may recommend insurance products offered by such carriers for whom they function as an agent and receive a commission for doing so. Please be advised there is a potential conflict of interest in that there is an economic incentive to recommend insurance and other investment products of such carriers. Please also be advised that MWMI strives to put its clients’ interests first and foremost. Other than for insurance products that require a securities license, such as variable insurance products, clients may utilize any insurance carrier or insurance agency they desire. For products requiring a securities and insurance license, clients may be limited to those insurance carriers that have a selling agreement with Monere Investments, Inc. an employing broker-dealer. C.5. PERSHING MWMI, through the Pershing, LLC investment platforms, has access to Pershing Advisors, LLC. (“Pershing”) whereby Pershing will function as the platform manager in its Unified Managed Account Program. Pershing will make available through this platform various third-party managers to manage MWMI advisory clients’ portfolio assets. Pershing acts as adviser and various third-party managers act as sub-advisers to Pershing. The third-party sub-advisers receive a portion of Pershing’s advisory fee. Pershing, an SEC registered advisor, is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation. D. RECOMMENDATION OR SELECTION OF OTHER INVESTMENT ADVISORS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Other than as disclosed in Item 10.C.3. above, MWMI does not receive any referral or sales compensation for referring clients to third party managers. Please note that MWMI’s advisory fee may be paid from a portion of the wrap fee charged to advisory clients in applicable wrap fee programs it recommends to clients. 2/3/2026 Page 21 ITEM 11: CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING A. CODE OF ETHICS DESCRIPTION In accordance with the Advisers Act, MWMI has adopted policies and procedures designed to detect and prevent insider trading. In addition, MWMI has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”). Among other things, the Code includes written procedures governing the conduct of MWMI’s advisory and access persons. The Code also imposes certain reporting obligations on persons subject to the Code. The Code and applicable securities transactions are monitored by the chief compliance officer of MWMI. The firm will send clients a copy of its Code of Ethics upon written request. MWMI has policies and procedures in place to ensure that the interests of its clients are given preference over those of the firm, its affiliates and its employees. For example, there are policies in place to prevent the misappropriation of material non-public information, and such other policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with federal and state securities laws. B. INVESTMENT RECOMMENDATIONS INVOLVING A MATERIAL FINANCIAL INTEREST AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Some of MWMI personnel is dually registered with a broker-dealer and investment adviser. As such the personnel may engage in principal trading (i.e., the practice of selling stock to advisory clients from a firm’s securities inventory or buying stocks from advisory clients into a firm’s securities inventory). Please note that MWMI, as a practical matter, does not engage in principal trading with or for advisory clients. To the extent it does engage in a principal, transaction, this practice represents a conflict of interest in that MWMI is the other side of the transaction and is incentivized to obtain the lowest price with respect to a purchase and the highest price with respect to a sale which conflicts with the firm’s obligation to act in the best interests of its clients. Therefore any such principal transactions involving advisory client assets will be done in accordance with the requirements under Investment Advisers Act of 1940 Rule §275.206(3)-3T. In addition, the firm, as a function of its access to dual registration, may engage in agency cross trading, which is the practice of crossing an advisory client securities transaction with that of a brokerage customer. Please note that MWMI, as a practical matter, does not engage in agency cross trading with or for advisory clients. To the extent it does engage in an agency cross transaction, this practice represents a conflict of interest in that a Monere Investments, Inc. brokerage customer is the other side of the transaction and is incentivized to obtain the lowest price with respect to a purchase and the highest price with respect to a sale which conflicts with the firm’s obligation to act in the best interests of its clients. Therefore any such agency cross transactions involving advisory client assets will be done in accordance with the requirements of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 Rule §275.206(3)-2. C. ADVISORY FIRM PURCHASE OF SAME SECURITIES RECOMMENDED TO CLIENTS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MWMI, its affiliates, employees and their families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and retirement plans established by it may purchase the same securities as are purchased for clients in accordance with its Code of Ethics policies and procedures. The personal securities transactions by advisory representatives and employees may raise potential conflicts of interest when they trade in a security that is: owned by the client, or considered for purchase or sale for the client. • • Such conflict generally refers to the practice of front-running (trading ahead of the client), which the firm specifically prohibits. MWMI has adopted policies and procedures that are intended to address these conflicts of interest. These policies and procedures: require our advisory representatives and employees to act in the client’s best interest, • 2/3/2026 Page 22 prohibit front-running, and • • provide for the review of transactions to discover and correct any trades that result in an advisory representative or employee benefitting at the expense of a client. Advisory representatives and employees must follow the firm’s procedures when purchasing or selling the same securities purchased or sold for the client. D. CLIENT SECURITIES RECOMMENDATIONS OR TRADES AND CONCURRENT ADVISORY FIRM SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST MWMI, its affiliates, employees and their families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and retirement plans established by it may effect securities transactions for their own accounts that differ from those recommended or effected for other MWMI clients. The firm will make a reasonable attempt to trade securities in client accounts at or prior to trading the securities in its affiliate, corporate, employee or employee-related accounts. Trades executed the same day will likely be subject to an average pricing calculation (please refer to Item 12.B.3 Order Aggregation). It is the policy of MWMI to place the clients’ interests above those of the firm and its employees. 2/3/2026 Page 23 ITEM 12: BROKERAGE PRACTICES A. FACTORS USED TO SELECT BROKER-DEALERS FOR CLIENT TRANSACTIONS A.1. CUSTODIAN RECOMMENDATIONS MWMI may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with other custodians or broker-dealers, for example in events when clients owns securities that are prohibited by MWMI and/or Pershing, LLC. Examples of prohibited securities may include and are not limited to certain Private Placements and non-traded REITs. MWMI considers the financial strength, reputation, operational efficiency, cost, execution capability, level of customer service, and related factors in recommending broker-dealers or custodians to advisory clients. The final determination to engage a broker-dealer or custodian recommended by MWMI will be made by and in the sole discretion of the client. The client recognizes that broker-dealers and/or custodians have different cost and fee structures and trade execution capabilities. As a result, there may be disparities with respect to the cost of services and/or the transaction prices for securities transactions executed on behalf of the client. Clients are responsible for assessing the commissions and other costs charged by broker-dealers and/or custodians. A.1.a. Soft Dollar Benefits The SEC defines soft dollar practices as arrangements under which products or services (other than executions of securities transactions) are obtained by an advisor from or through a broker dealer in exchange for the advisor directing Client brokerage transactions to the broker-dealer. MWMI does not currently conduct any soft dollar business. A.1.b. Institutional Trading and Custody Services The custodians provide MWMI with access to their institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to the custodian’s retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a certain minimum amount of the advisor’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at a particular custodian. These services are not contingent upon MWMI committing to a custodian any specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading commissions). The custodian’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. A.1.c. Other Products and Services Custodian also makes available to MWMI other products and services that may benefit MWMI 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 MWMI’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at custodian. The custodian may also make available to MWMI software and other technology that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts provide research, pricing and other market data facilitate payment of MWMI’s fees from its clients’ accounts assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting • • • • • The custodian may also offer other services intended to help MWMI manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include compliance, legal and business consulting publications and conferences on practice management and business succession access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers • • • 2/3/2026 Page 24 The custodian may also provide other benefits such as educational events or occasional business entertainment of MWMI personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that clients custody their assets at the custodian, MWMI may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products and 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 custodian, which may create a potential conflict of interest. A.1.d. Independent Third Parties The custodian may make available, arrange, and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of services rendered to MWMI. The custodian may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or all or a part of the fees of a third party providing these services to MWMI. A.1.e. Additional Compensation Received from Custodians MWMI may participate in institutional customer programs sponsored by broker-dealers or custodians. MWMI may recommend these broker-dealers or custodians to clients for custody and brokerage services. There is no direct link between MWMI’s participation in such programs and the investment advice it gives to its clients, although MWMI receives economic benefits through its participation in the programs that are typically not available to retail investors. These benefits may 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 MWMI 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 • Access to an electronic communications network for client order entry and account information • Access to mutual funds with no transaction fees and to certain institutional money managers • Discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products or services provided to MWMI by third-party vendors The custodian may also pay for business consulting and professional services received by MWMI’s related persons, and may pay or reimburse expenses (including travel, lodging, meals and entertainment expenses for MWMI’s personnel to attend conferences). Some of the products and services made available by such custodian through its institutional customer programs may benefit MWMI but may not benefit its client accounts. These products or services may assist MWMI in managing and administering client accounts, including accounts not maintained at the custodian as applicable. Other services made available through the programs are intended to help MWMI manage and further develop its business enterprise. The benefits received by MWMI or its personnel through participation in these programs do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to the broker-dealer. MWMI also participates in similar institutional advisor programs offered by other independent broker-dealers or trust companies, and its continued participation may require MWMI to maintain a predetermined level of assets at such firms. In connection with its participation in such programs, MWMI will typically receive benefits similar to those listed above, including research, payments for business consulting and professional services received by MWMI’s related persons, and reimbursement of expenses (including travel, lodging, meals and entertainment expenses for MWMI’s personnel to attend conferences sponsored by the broker-dealer or trust company). As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, MWMI endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by MWMI, or its related persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence MWMI’s recommendation of broker-dealers for custody and brokerage services. 2/3/2026 Page 25 A.2. BROKERAGE FOR CLIENT REFERRALS MWMI does not engage in the practice of directing brokerage commissions in exchange for the referral of advisory clients. A.3. DIRECTED BROKERAGE A.3.a. MWMI’s Recommendations MWMI typically recommends Pershing, LLC as custodian for clients’ funds and securities and to execute securities transactions on its clients’ behalf. A.3.b. Client-Directed Brokerage Occasionally, clients may direct MWMI to use a particular broker-dealer to execute portfolio transactions for their account or request that certain types of securities not be purchased for their account. Clients who designate the use of a particular broker-dealer should be aware that they will lose any possible advantage MWMI derives from aggregating transactions. Such client trades are typically effected after the trades of clients who have not directed the use of a particular broker-dealer. MWMI loses the ability to aggregate trades with other MWMI advisory clients, potentially subjecting the client to inferior trade execution prices as well as higher commissions. B. AGGREGATING SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS FOR CLIENT ACCOUNTS B.1. BEST EXECUTION MWMI, pursuant to the terms of its investment advisory agreement with clients, has discretionary authority to determine which securities are to be bought and sold, the amount of such securities, the executing broker, and the commission rates to be paid to effect such transactions. MWMI recognizes that the analysis of execution quality involves a number of factors, both qualitative and quantitative. MWMI will follow a process in an attempt to ensure that it is seeking to obtain the most favorable execution under the prevailing circumstances when placing client orders. These factors include but are not limited to the following: • The financial strength, reputation and stability of the broker • The efficiency with which the transaction is effected • The ability to effect prompt and reliable executions at favorable prices (including the applicable dealer spread or commission, if any) • The availability of the broker to stand ready to effect transactions of varying degrees of difficulty in the future • The efficiency of error resolution, clearance and settlement • Block trading and positioning capabilities • Performance measurement • Online access to computerized data regarding customer accounts • Availability, comprehensiveness, and frequency of brokerage and research services • Commission rates • The economic benefit to the client • Related matters involved in the receipt of brokerage services Consistent with its fiduciary responsibilities, MWMI seeks to ensure that clients receive best execution with respect to clients’ transactions by blocking client trades to reduce commissions and transaction costs. To the best of MWMI’s knowledge, these custodians provide high-quality execution, and MWMI’s clients do not pay higher transaction costs in return for such execution. 2/3/2026 Page 26 Commission rates and securities transaction fees charged to effect such transactions are established by the client’s independent custodian and/or broker-dealer. Based upon its own knowledge of the securities industry, MWMI believes that such commission rates are competitive within the securities industry. Lower commissions or better execution may be able to be achieved elsewhere. B.2. SECURITY ALLOCATION Since MWMI may be managing accounts with similar investment objectives, MWMI may aggregate orders for securities for such accounts. In such event, allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as expenses incurred in the transaction, is made by MWMI in the manner it considers to be the most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to such accounts. MWMI’s allocation procedures seek to allocate investment opportunities among clients in the fairest possible way, taking into account the clients’ best interests. MWMI will follow procedures to ensure that allocations do not involve a practice of favoring or discriminating against any client or group of clients. Account performance is never a factor in trade allocations. MWMI’s advice to certain clients and entities and the action of MWMI for those and other clients are frequently premised not only on the merits of a particular investment, but also on the suitability of that investment for the particular client in light of his or her applicable investment objective, guidelines and circumstances. Thus, any action of MWMI with respect to a particular investment may, for a particular client, differ or be opposed to the recommendation, advice, or actions of MWMI to or on behalf of other clients. B.3. ORDER AGGREGATION Orders for the same security entered on behalf of more than one client will generally be aggregated (i.e., blocked or bunched) subject to the aggregation being in the best interests of all participating clients. Subsequent orders for the same security entered during the same trading day may be aggregated with any previously unfilled orders. Subsequent orders may also be aggregated with filled orders if the market price for the security has not materially changed and the aggregation does not cause any unintended duration exposure. All clients participating in each aggregated order will receive the average price and, subject to minimum ticket charges and possible step outs, pay a pro rata portion of commissions. To minimize performance dispersion, “strategy” trades should be aggregated and average priced. However, when a trade is to be executed for an individual account and the trade is not in the best interests of other accounts, then the trade will only be performed for that account. This is true even if MWMI believes that a larger size block trade would lead to best overall price for the security being transacted. B.4. ALLOCATION OF TRADES All allocations will be made prior to the close of business on the trade date. In the event an order is “partially filled,” the allocation will be made in the best interests of all the clients in the order, taking into account all relevant factors including, but not limited to, the size of each client’s allocation, clients’ liquidity needs and previous allocations. In most cases, accounts will get a pro forma allocation based on the initial allocation. This policy also applies if an order is “over-filled.” MWMI acts in accordance with its duty to seek best price and execution and will not continue any arrangements if MWMI determines that such arrangements are no longer in the best interest of its clients. 2/3/2026 Page 27 ITEM 13: REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS A. SCHEDULE FOR PERIODIC REVIEW OF CLIENT ACCOUNTS OR FINANCIAL PLANS AND ADVISORY PERSONS INVOLVED Monere Wealth Management, Inc. (MWMI) provides its investment consulting Clients with periodic reports of relevant activity. With respect to all of the Programs, MWMI or its agent will provide to each Client periodic (generally quarterly) printed portfolio performance reports of the Client’s account which will include a review and evaluation of the Client’s portfolio because of the Client’s investment goals and objectives. Some of the data provided in the performance reports include, but is not limited to, account activity, asset allocation and portfolio holdings, a review of account performance versus a benchmark and a narrative review of the capital markets. Each performance report will also include a reminder to the Client to contact MWMI if there are any changes in the Client’s financial situation or other information and will disclose a method by which the Client may make such contact. At least annually, MWMI will deliver to each Client through a negative consent letter and request current information about the Client to determine whether there have been any changes in the Client’s financial situation, investment objectives, or instructions. Each Client agrees to inform MWMI in writing of any material change in the Client’s financial circumstances which might affect the manner in which the Client’s assets should be invested. Those changes deemed material or appropriate will be forwarded to any applicable advisor under the particular Program. In addition, those responsible for making investment decisions for a Client will be reasonably available to the Client for consultation. MWMI also encourages its financial advisors to review each Client’s portfolio performance reports at least every three years with the Client. During these reviews, financial advisors are trained to inquire about the Client’s risk tolerance, time horizon, life changing events, etc. to discover any material changes that the Client and advisor might not have been aware of. Financial advisors will also discuss other important investment subjects with the Client such as account performance, investment limitations, future financial planning, etc. B. REVIEW OF CLIENT ACCOUNTS ON NON-PERIODIC BASIS MWMI may perform ad hoc reviews on an as-needed basis if there have been material changes in the client’s investment objectives or risk tolerance, or a material change in how MWMI formulates investment advice.
