Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds, equities, and exchange-traded funds. These charges may include mutual fund transactions fees, postage and handling and miscellaneous fees (fee levied to recover costs associated with fees assessed by self-regulatory organizations). These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a security. The selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the custodian charges to buy or sell the security. Oceanside, in its sole discretion, may charge a lesser investment advisory fee based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with clients, etc.). - 7 - Oceanside Advisors LLC Prepayment of Client Fees For more details on the brokerage practices, see Item 12 of this brochure.

Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management Sharing of Capital Gains Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities. Oceanside does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the conflict of interest. Performance based compensation may create an incentive for Oceanside to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the Client. Item 7: Types of Clients Description Oceanside generally provides investment advice to individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, or charitable organizations, corporations or business entities. Account Minimums Client relationships vary in scope and length of service. Oceanside requires a minimum of $500,000 to open an account. In certain instances, the minimum account size may be lowered or waived. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis Security analysis methods may include fundamental analysis and cyclical analysis. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Fundamental analysis involves evaluating a stock using real data such as company revenues, earnings, return on equity, and profit margins to determine underlying value and potential growth. Cyclical analysis involves analyzing the cycles of the market. When creating a financial plan, Oceanside utilizes fundamental analysis to provide review of insurance policies for economic value and income replacement. The main sources of information include Morningstar, and client documents such as tax returns and insurance policies. In developing a financial plan for a client, Oceanside’s analysis may include cash flow analysis, investment planning, risk management, tax planning and estate planning. Based on the information gathered, a detailed strategy is tailored to the client’s specific situation. - 8 - Oceanside Advisors LLC Investment Strategy The main sources of information include annual reports, prospectuses, and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Each client executes an Investment Policy Statement, Risk Tolerance or similar form that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. Security Specific Material Risks Other strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases, and trading. All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Fundamental analysis may involve interest rate risk, market risk, business risk, and financial risk. Cyclical analysis involves inflation risk, market risk, currency risk, and reinvestment risk Interest-rate Risk • Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment risks and should discuss these risks with Oceanside: • Market Risk : Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to decline. • : The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social conditions may trigger market Inflation Risk events. : When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will buy more than a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of • Currency Risk inflation. • Reinvestment Risk : Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as exchange rate risk. • Business Risk : This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income securities. • Liquidity Risk : These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of profitability than an electric company which generates its income from a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like. : Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not. - 9 - Oceanside Advisors LLC • Financial Risk : Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations increases the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad. During periods of financial stress, the inability to meet loan obligations may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value. Item 9: Disciplinary Information Criminal or Civil Actions Administrative Enforcement Proceedings The firm and its management have not been involved in any criminal or civil action. Self-Regulatory Organization Enforcement Proceedings The firm and its management have not been involved in administrative enforcement proceedings. The firm and its management have not been involved in legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s or prospective client’s evaluation of Oceanside or the integrity of its management. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer or Representative Registration Futures or Commodity Registration Neither Oceanside nor any of its employees are registered representatives of a broker- dealer. Neither Oceanside nor its employees are registered or have an application pending to register as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or a commodity- Material Relationships Maintained by this Advisory Business and Conflicts of Interest trading advisor. Managing Member Johann Kroll has a financial affiliated business as an insurance agent with Oceanside. Approximately 1% of Mr. Kroll’s time is spent with insurance products. From time to time, he will offer clients advice or products from this activity. This practice represents a conflict of interest because it gives Oceanside and Mr. Kroll an incentive to recommend products based on the commission amount received. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Oceanside and Mr. Kroll have a fiduciary responsibility to place the best interest of the client first and the clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent/agency of their choosing. Johann Kroll also has a Canadian advisory firm, The Hockey Wealth Group Canada LLC for Canadian investors. Approximately 20% of his time is spent in this business. Since Oceanside and The Hockey Wealth Group Canada LLC charge the same fees for the same services there is no incentive to recommend one firm over the other and therefore no conflict of interest. - 10 - Oceanside Advisors LLC Recommendations or Selections of Other Investment Advisors and Conflicts of Interest Oceanside does not recommend or select other investment advisors. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics Description The employees of Oceanside have committed to a Code of Ethics (“Code”). The purpose of our Code is to set forth standards of conduct expected of Oceanside employees and addresses conflicts that may arise. The Code defines acceptable behavior for employees of Oceanside. The Code reflects Oceanside and its supervised persons’ responsibility to act in the best interest of their client. One area the Code addresses is when employees buy or sell securities for their personal accounts and how to mitigate any conflict of interest with our clients. We do not allow any employees to use non-public material information for their personal profit or to use internal research for their personal benefit in conflict with the benefit to our clients. Oceanside’s policy prohibits any person from acting upon or otherwise misusing non- public or inside information. No advisory representative or other employee, officer or director of Oceanside may recommend any transaction in a security or its derivative to advisory clients or engage in personal securities transactions for a security or its derivatives if the advisory representative possesses material, non-public information regarding the security. Oceanside’s Code is based on the guiding principle that the interests of the client are our top priority. Oceanside’s officers, directors, advisors, and other employees have a fiduciary duty to our clients and must diligently perform that duty to maintain the complete trust and confidence of our clients. When a conflict arises, it is our obligation to put the client’s interests over the interests of either employees or the company. to clients, or who have access The Code applies to “access” persons. “Access” persons are employees who have access to non-public information regarding any clients' purchase or sale of securities, or non-public information regarding the portfolio holdings of any reportable fund, who are involved in making securities recommendations to such recommendations that are non-public. The firm will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon Investment Recommendations Involving a Material Financial Interest and Conflict of request. Interest Oceanside and its employees do not recommend to clients securities in which we have a Advisory Firm Purchase of Same Securities Recommended to Clients and Conflicts of material financial interest. Interest Oceanside and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running, employees are required to - 11 - Oceanside Advisors LLC disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide Oceanside with copies of their brokerage statements. The Chief Compliance Officer of Oceanside is Johann Kroll. Mr. Kroll will review trades each quarter. This review ensures that his personal trading does not affect the markets Client Securities Recommendations or Trades and Concurrent Advisory Firm and that clients of the firm receive preferential treatment over his transactions. Securities Transactions and Conflicts of Interest Oceanside does not maintain a firm proprietary trading account and does not have a material financial interest in any securities being recommended and therefore no conflicts of interest exist. However, employees may buy or sell securities at the same time they buy or sell securities for clients. In order to mitigate conflicts of interest such as front running, employees are required to disclose all reportable securities transactions as well as provide Oceanside with copies of their brokerage statements. Item 12: Brokerage Practices Factors Used to Select Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions Oceanside may recommend the use of a particular broker-dealer such as Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab) or Altruist, unaffiliated SEC-registered broker-dealers and FINRA members or may utilize a broker-dealer of the Client's choosing. Oceanside will select appropriate brokers based on a number of factors including but not limited to their relatively low transaction fees and reporting ability. Oceanside relies on its broker to provide its execution services at the best prices available. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients pay for any and all custodial fees in addition to the advisory fee charged by Oceanside. • Directed Brokerage Schwab offers to independent investment Advisors services which include custody of securities, trade execution, clearance and settlement of transactions. Oceanside receives some benefits from Schwab. (Please see the disclosure under Item 14.) • Best Execution In circumstances where a client directs Oceanside to use a certain broker-dealer, Oceanside still has a fiduciary duty to its clients. The following may apply with Directed Brokerage: Oceanside's inability to negotiate commissions, to obtain volume discounts, there may be a disparity in commission charges among clients and conflicts of interest arising from brokerage firm referrals. Investment advisors who manage or supervise client portfolios on a discretionary basis have a fiduciary obligation of best execution. The determination of what may constitute best execution and price in the execution of a securities transaction by a broker involves a number of considerations and is subjective. Factors affecting brokerage selection include the overall direct net economic result to the portfolios, the efficiency with which the transaction is effected, the ability to effect the transaction where a large block is involved, the operational facilities of the broker- dealer, the value of an ongoing relationship with such broker and the financial strength and stability of the broker. The firm does not receive any portion of the trading fees. - 12 - Oceanside Advisors LLC • Soft Dollar Arrangements The Securities and Exchange Commission defines soft dollar practices as arrangement under which products or services other than execution services are obtained by Oceanside from or through a broker-dealer in exchange for directing client transactions to the broker-dealer. As permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Oceanside receives economic benefits as a result of commissions generated from securities transactions by the broker-dealer from the accounts of Oceanside. These benefits include both proprietary research from the broker and other research written by third parties. A conflict of interest exists when Oceanside receives soft dollars. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Oceanside has a fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest of its clients and the services received are beneficial to all clients. Aggregating Securities Transactions for Client Accounts Oceanside utilizes the services of custodial broker dealers. Economic benefits are received by Oceanside which would not be received if Oceanside did not give investment advice to Clients. These benefits include: A dedicated trading desk, a dedicated service group and an account services manager dedicated to Oceanside's accounts, ability to conduct "block" Client trades, electronic download of trades, balances and positions, duplicate and batched Client statements, and the ability to have advisory fees directly deducted from Client accounts. Oceanside is authorized in its discretion to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions made for the account with purchases and sales and transactions in the same securities for other Clients of Oceanside. All clients participating in the aggregated order shall receive an average share price with all other transaction costs shared on a pro-rated basis. Item 13: Review of Accounts Schedule for Periodic Review of Client Accounts or Financial Plans and Advisory Persons Involved Review of Client Accounts on Non-Periodic Basis Investment accounts managed by Oceanside are monitored daily by software programs. Account reviews are performed at least quarterly by Johann Kroll, Chief Compliance Officer. Account reviews are performed more frequently when market conditions dictate. Content of Client Provided Reports and Frequency Other conditions that may trigger a review of clients’ accounts are changes in the tax laws, new investment information, and changes in a client's own situation. Clients receive account statements no less than quarterly for managed accounts. Account statements are issued by the Advisor’s custodian. Client receives confirmations of each transaction in account from Custodian and an additional statement during any month in which a transaction occurs. - 13 - Oceanside Advisors LLC Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation Economic Benefits Provided to the Advisory Firm from External Sources and Conflicts of Interest Advisory Firm Payments for Client Referrals As disclosed under Item 12 above, Oceanside may recommend Schwab to Clients for custody and brokerage services. There is no direct link between Oceanside’s use of Schwab and the investment advice it gives to its Clients, although Oceanside receives economic benefits from Schwab that are typically not available to retail investors. These benefits include the following products and services (provided without cost or at a discount): receipt of duplicate Client statements and confirmations; research related products and tools; consulting services; access to a trading desk serving Oceanside 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; and discounts on compliance, marketing, research, technology, and practice management products or services provided to Oceanside by third party vendors. Oceanside does not pay for client referrals. Item 15: Custody Account Statements All assets are held at qualified custodians, which means the custodians provide account statements directly to clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients are urged to compare the account statements received directly from their custodians to the performance report statements prepared by Oceanside. Item 16: Investment Discretion Discretionary Authority for Trading Oceanside accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients. Oceanside has the authority to determine, without obtaining specific client consent, the securities to be bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold. The client will authorize Oceanside discretionary authority to execute selected investment program transactions as stated within the Investment Advisory Agreement. The client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the custodian. Oceanside does not receive any portion of the transaction fees or commissions paid by the client to the custodian on certain trades. Item 17: Voting Client Securities Proxy Votes Oceanside does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. The client will receive their proxies directly from the custodian of their account or from a transfer agent. - 14 - Oceanside Advisors LLC When assistance on voting proxies is requested, Oceanside will provide recommendations to the client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the client. Item 18: Financial Information Balance Sheet A balance sheet is not required to be provided because Oceanside does not serve as a custodian for client funds or securities and Oceanside does not require prepayment of fees of more than $1,200 per client and six months or more in advance. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Advisory Firm’s Ability to Meet Commitments to Clients Bankruptcy Petitions during the Past Ten Years Oceanside has no condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to our clients. Neither Oceanside nor its management has had any bankruptcy petitions in the last ten years. - 15 - Oceanside Advisors LLC S U P E R V I S E D P E R S O N B R O C H U R E F O R M A D V P A R T 2 B Johann Robert Kroll, ® CFA, CFP Main Office Address: 235 Magrath Darby Boulevard Suite 150 Mount Pleasant, SC 29464 Tel: 843-830-6568 info@oceansideadvisors.com www.oceansideadvisors.com A U G U S T 2 9 , 2 0 2 5 This brochure supplement provides information about Johann Kroll and supplements Oceanside Advisors LLC’s brochure.

Managing Member Johann Kroll has a financial affiliated business as an insurance agent with Oceanside. Approximately 1% of Mr. Kroll’s time is spent with insurance products. From time to time, he will offer clients advice or products from this activity. This practice represents a conflict of interest because it gives Mr. Kroll an incentive to recommend products based on the commission amount received. This conflict is mitigated by the fact that Mr. Kroll has a fiduciary responsibility to place the best interest of the client first and the clients are not required to purchase any products. Clients have the option to purchase these products through another insurance agent/agency of their choosing. - 18 - Oceanside Advisors LLC Additional Compensation Johann Kroll also has a Canadian advisory firm, The Hockey Wealth Group Canada LLC for Canadian investors. Approximately 20% of his time is spent in this business. Since Oceanside and The Hockey Wealth Group Canada LLC charge the same fees for the same services there is no incentive to recommend one firm over the other and therefore no conflict of interest. Supervision Mr. Kroll receives additional compensation in his capacity as an insurance agent. He does not receive any performance-based fees. Since Mr. Kroll is the majority owner of Oceanside Advisors LLC; he is responsible for all supervision and formulation and monitoring of investment advice offered to clients. He will adhere to the policies and procedures as described in the firm’s Compliance Manual. - 19 - Oceanside Advisors LLC
