Item 2. Material Changes
This Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure was updated as follows to reflect the following changes
since its last annual update:
•
Item 19, which applies solely to state registered investment advisers, has been deleted as the firm is
transitioning from state registration to SEC registration.
•
Item 4 has been updated as follows:
Additions to and Withdrawals from Client’s Account
The client may make additions to and withdrawals from the account at any time, with the
understanding that O’Connor Capital retains the right to terminate management of the account.
Additions may be in cash or securities; however, O’Connor Capital reserves the right to liquidate any
transferred securities, or decline to accept particular securities into its management.
O’Connor Capital may consult with its clients about the options and ramifications of transferring
securities. However, clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be
subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales
charges or short-term redemption fees) and/or tax ramifications. Clients may withdraw account assets
on notice to O’Connor Capital, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures.
However, clients should keep in mind that O’Connor Capital designs its portfolios as long-term
investments and the withdrawal of assets from the account may impair the achievement of a client’s
investment objectives.
Reasonable Restrictions
Clients may provide reasonable restrictions and guidelines to O’Connor Capital with respect to the
management of the Client’s account. Restrictions and guidelines imposed by the client may affect the
composition and performance of custom portfolios. As a result, the performance of custom portfolios
within the same investment objective as other client accounts may differ and the client should not
expect that the performance of his/her custom portfolios will be identical to any other client’s portfolio
performance. O’Connor Capital’s clients are advised to promptly notify O’Connor Capital if they wish
to impose any reasonable restrictions upon O’Connor Capital’s management services.
Billing on Cash Positions
The firm treats cash and cash equivalents as an asset class. Accordingly, unless otherwise agreed in
writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market funds, etc.) are included as part of
assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. At any specific point in
time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee
that such anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the firm may maintain cash and/or cash
equivalent positions for defensive, liquidity, or other purposes. While assets are maintained in cash or
cash equivalents, such amounts could miss market advances and, depending upon current yields, at
any point in time, the firm’s advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s cash or cash
equivalent positions.
Periods of Portfolio Inactivity
The firm has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. As part of its
investment advisory services, the firm will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to determine if
any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to investment
performance, fund manager tenure, financial impact to the client of taxable gains, account
additions/withdrawals, the client’s financial circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment
objectives. Based upon these and other factors, there may be extended periods of time when the firm
determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Notwithstanding,
unless otherwise agreed in writing, the firm’s annual investment advisory fee will continue to apply
during these periods, and there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by the firm will
be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).

Item 4. Advisory Business
O’Connor Capital Advisory, LLC
This brochure provides information about the services and business practices of O’Connor Capital
Advisory, LLC (“O’Connor Capital” or “Advisor”). O’Connor Capital is located in Phoenix, Arizona with
offices also located in California and provides portfolio management and financial planning services to its
clients. O’Connor Capital has been in the business of providing investment advisory services since
March, 2010.
James H. O’Connor is the sole owner, Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer of O’Connor
Capital.
Portfolio Management Services
O’Connor Capital offers personalized investment advisory services to clients based on the individual
needs of the client. Factors that O’Connor Capital considers in managing client accounts or making
recommendations include the client’s financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance levels, goals
and objectives.
O’Connor Capital’s investment management services involve the ongoing active management of the
client’s portfolio and making investments for the client. Through this service, O’Connor Capital offers a
highly customized and individualized investment program for clients. We work with each client to develop
a specific investment strategy and investment approach that focuses on the client’s goals and objectives.
As of March 24, 2026, O’Connor Capital had $112.137 million in assets under management, all on a
discretionary basis.
O’Connor Capital and its investment advisor representatives provides its portfolio management services
through accounts maintained at the custodian of the client’s account (please see Item 12 of this brochure
for more information regarding custodian selection). Under the client’s Portfolio Management Services
agreement, the client’s investment advisor representative will be granted trading authorization over the
client’s account on a discretionary basis.
O’Connor Capital does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
Financial Planning Consultation Services
O’Connor Capital may also offer to its Portfolio Management Clients certain Financial Planning
Consultation Services. Financial Planning Services can be tailored for clients and, at the client’s request,
can cover one or more issues, such as research, investment analysis, portfolio reviews, asset allocation,
general tax issues; general estate planning issues; retirement planning; education funding; risk
assessment; goal setting; business benefit issues; business owner issues; cash flow, general issues
pertaining to marriage or divorce, or other needs that are identified by the client.
Financial Planning Consultation advice is based on the client's financial situation at the time the services
are presented and are based on financial information disclosed by the client to O’Connor Capital. Clients
are advised that certain assumptions may be made with respect to interest and inflation rates and use of
past trends and performance of the market and economy.
Changes to Financial Status
Clients may consult with O’Connor Capital at any time concerning their account. Every client is urged to
notify O’Connor Capital as soon as is practicable of changes in financial status or goals, as these types of
changes may affect our recommendations to or the investments made for the client.
Fiduciary Status
When O’Connor Capital provides investment advice, it is acting as a fiduciary under investment adviser
rules and laws. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, we also are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws
governing retirement accounts.
4
Conflict of Interest
The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule
that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. For example, if you roll
over an IRA or 401k account to our firm or otherwise transfer any other account to our firm, we will charge
your account and make money. If you decide to not roll over the IRA or other account to our program, we
will not make money. Therefore, we have a financial incentive to recommend that you to move your
account to our program even if it is not in your best interest.
Additions to and Withdrawals from Client’s Account
The client may make additions to and withdrawals from the account at any time, with the understanding
that O’Connor Capital retains the right to terminate management of the account. Additions may be in cash
or securities; however, O’Connor Capital reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities, or
decline to accept particular securities into its management.
O’Connor Capital may consult with its clients about the options and ramifications of transferring securities.
However, clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to
transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred sales charges or short-
term redemption fees) and/or tax ramifications. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to
O’Connor Capital, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, clients
should keep in mind that O’Connor Capital designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the
withdrawal of assets from the account may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives.
Reasonable Restrictions
Clients may provide reasonable restrictions and guidelines to O’Connor Capital with respect to the
management of the Client’s account. Restrictions and guidelines imposed by the client may affect the
composition and performance of custom portfolios. As a result, the performance of custom portfolios
within the same investment objective as other client accounts may differ and the client should not expect
that the performance of his/her custom portfolios will be identical to any other client’s portfolio
performance. O’Connor Capital’s clients are advised to promptly notify O’Connor Capital if they wish to
impose any reasonable restrictions upon O’Connor Capital’s management services.
Billing on Cash Positions
The firm treats cash and cash equivalents as an asset class. Accordingly, unless otherwise agreed in
writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market funds, etc.) are included as part of
assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. At any specific point in time,
depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such
anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the firm may maintain cash and/or cash equivalent
positions for defensive, liquidity, or other purposes. While assets are maintained in cash or cash
equivalents, such amounts could miss market advances and, depending upon current yields, at any point
in time, the firm’s advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s cash or cash equivalent
positions.
Periods of Portfolio Inactivity
The firm has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. As part of its
investment advisory services, the firm will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to determine if any
changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to investment performance,
fund manager tenure, financial impact to the client of taxable gains, account additions/withdrawals, the
client’s financial circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment objectives. Based upon these and
other factors, there may be extended periods of time when the firm determines that changes to a client’s
portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Notwithstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the firm’s
annual investment advisory fee will continue to apply during these periods, and there can be no
assurance that investment decisions made by the firm will be profitable or equal any specific performance
level(s).

Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management Services Fees
O’Connor Capital is compensated in accordance with the following fee schedule. One twelfth of the
annual fee is charged each month in arrears based on the market value of the client’s account at the end
of the previous month as reported by the independent qualified custodian of the client’s account. The
initial fee billed to the client is pro-rated based on the actual time under management.
Fee Schedule
Investment Management Services Annual Fees (Billed monthly in arrears)
First $3,000,000 1.00%
Next $2,000,000 0.75%
Above $5,000,000 0.50%
Clients account will be directly debited, as authorized by the client in writing, for investment management
fees due.
Clients or O’Connor Capital may terminate an individually managed account at any time upon 30 days
written notice to other party. The pro-rata portion of the monthly fee through the date of termination will be
charged to the client. The client has the right to terminate an agreement without penalty within five
business days after entering into the agreement.
In certain circumstances, all fees may be negotiable. In addition, certain affiliated persons of O’Connor
Capital and family members and personal acquaintances of O’Connor Capital’s affiliated persons may
receive advisory services at a discounted rate which is not available to advisory clients generally.
Each billing cycle, O’Connor Capital will provide clients with a billing statement indicating the amount of
the advisory fee, the value of the client’s assets upon which the fee was based, the time period covered
by the fee(s) and the manner in which the fee was calculated. Clients will also be provided statements
from their selected custodian that reflect all account activity, including management fee billing, and clients
are encouraged to verify the accuracy of the fees and charges by the custodian and/or O’Connor Capital.
The custodian does not verify the accuracy of O’Connor Capital’s fee calculations.
Financial Planning Consultation Services Fees
Any Financial Planning Consultation Services provided to clients are included as part of the clients’
existing Portfolio Management Services Fee. No additional fees are charged by O’Connor Capital for
Financial Planning Consultation Services.
Additional Fees and Expenses
Mutual Fund and Other Internal Investment Charges
When recommending mutual funds in the Portfolio Management Service, O’Connor Capital generally
recommends only no-load or load-waived mutual funds. However, all mutual funds, exchange traded
funds and other investment company securities (Funds) incur certain types of charges and expenses,
which are paid from the value of the mutual funds’ shares. These charges and expenses include
investment management, transaction, administrative, distribution, transfer agent, custodial, legal, audit
and other customary fees. If your account holds any such Fund shares, you will be indirectly paying these
expenses, which are in addition to your Portfolio Management Services management fee. You are
encouraged to read the prospectuses of any Funds which are purchased in your account for a more
complete explanation of these fees and expenses.
Investments Available without O’Connor Capital’s Services
With certain exceptions, you can purchase shares of Funds and other investments outside of your
Portfolio Management account without paying for and receiving the benefit of O’Connor Capital’s
management services which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which
fund or funds are most appropriate to the client’s financial condition and objectives. Certain Funds are
offered generally to the public without a sales charge and, for those Funds that are offered with a sales
charge, the sales charge described in the Fund’s Prospectus may be more or less than O’Connor
6
Capitals’ management fee charged over time. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged
by the funds and the fees charged by O’Connor Capital to fully understand the total amount of fees to be
paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. While O’Connor Capital
believes its fees are competitive with fees charged by other investment advisors for comparable services,
comparable services may be available from other sources for lower fees than those charged by O’Connor
Capital.
Tax Consequences of Transactions
Clients are advised that any redemptions and exchanges between Funds and other securities
transactions in the client’s Portfolio Management account might have tax consequences, which clients
should discuss with their independent tax advisor.
Brokerage and Custodial Charges
In addition to O’Connor Capital’s Portfolio Management fee, you will also pay any brokerage or custodial
costs associated with your account. For more information about O’Connor Capital’s brokerage
recommendations and arrangements, please refer to Item 12 of this brochure.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
O’Connor Capital does not charge fees based on a share of capital gains up or capital appreciation of the
assets in a client’s account.
Item 7. Types of Clients
While O’Connor Capital primarily provides investment advisory services to high net worth individuals,
families and institutional clients, it may also provide advice to other types of clients on a case by case
basis.
O’Connor Capital generally has a $100,000 account minimum. O’Connor Capital, in its sole discretion,
may reduce its account minimum or charge a lesser investment management fee based upon certain
criteria (i.e. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with client, etc.).
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies
O’Connor Capital’s methods of analysis include fundamental analysis, technical analysis and cyclical
analysis further described as follows:
Fundamental Analysis
Using fundamental analysis, we analyze an investment by examining its publically available financial
statements or reports, its management, competitive advantages, competitors, and markets. We attempt to
identify investments that are selling for less than their intrinsic worth. Our fundamental analysis method is
based upon the assumption that markets may misprice an investment in the short run but that the
“correct” price will eventually be reached. The primary risk associated with fundamental analysis is that
information obtained to evaluate a specific security may be inaccurate and the resulting analysis may
provide an inaccurate estimate of earnings and stock value. The reaction of a stock’s price to corrected
information may result in unfavorable performance.
Technical Analysis
Using technical analysis, we gather and process price and volume information for a particular security.
This price and volume information is analyzed using mathematical equations. The resulting data is then
applied to graphing charts, which is used to predict future price movements based on price patterns and
trends. The primary risk of technical analysis is that historical price movements may not accurately predict
future price movements. This view is supported by the efficient market theory which states that the current
price of a security reflects all currently known information about the security and that day to day changes
in price are random and not predictable.
7
Cyclical Analysis
Using cyclical analysis, we evaluate recurring how economic and business cycle patterns and trends. The
primary risk associated with cyclical analysis is that economic and business cycles, and their resulting
effect on securities prices, may not be predictable and regular.
The main sources of information O’Connor Capital uses include financial newspapers and magazines,
inspections of corporate activities, research materials prepared by others, corporate ratings services,
timing services, annual reports, prospectuses and other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, as well as company press releases.
Investment Strategies
In the management of client accounts, O’Connor Capital primarily uses long-term and short-term
purchases.
Risk of Loss
All investments and investment programs have certain risks that are associated with them and which the
investor must bear. Following are the types of risk that may arise to clients due to the types of securities
that are recommended to or purchased for clients:
Business Risk – the risk that the price of an investment will change due to factors unique to that
company, investment or market segment and not the market in general.
Liquidity Risk – the risk associated with the ease of being able to quickly convert the value of a
security into an equivalent amount of cash. For example, money market funds are readily
convertible (liquid) while certain limited partnership units or real estate are not.
Financial Risk – the risk to specific companies’ future earnings due to their use of debt.
Companies that borrow money must pay it back at some future date, plus the interest charges.
This increases the uncertainty about the company because it must have enough income to pay
back this amount at some time in the future.
Exchange Rate (Currency) Risk – the risk that investors in foreign investments may be subject to
different exchange rates at the time they wish to convert investment proceeds back to their home
currency. If exchange rate risk is high, even though substantial profits may have been made in
the foreign markets, a less favorable exchange rate may reduce or eliminate these profits.
Country (Political) Risk – the risk that a major change in the political or economic environment of
a foreign country may devalue investments made in that country. This risk is usually restricted to
emerging or developing countries that do not have stable economic or political environments.
Market Risk – the risk that the price of a particular investment will change as a result of overall
market conditions that are not specific to that particular company or investment.
Interest Rate Risk – the risk that interest rate changes will affect the price of a particular
investment. For example, when interest rates rise, the price of bonds generally fall.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
O’Connor Capital and its management personnel have not been involved in any legal or disciplinary
events that are material to a client’s evaluation of its advisory business or the integrity of management.
Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither O’Connor Capital nor O’Connor Capital’s management persons are registered, or have an
application pending to register, as: a broker-dealer or registered representative of a broker-dealer; a
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor, or an associated
8
person of the foregoing. Neither O’Connor Capital nor O’Connor Capital’s management persons have any
non-disclosed material relationship with a(n):
investment company or other pooled investment vehicle;
futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, or commodity trading advisor;
lawyer or law firm;
real estate broker or dealer; or
sponsor or syndicator of limited partnerships
• broker-dealer, municipal securities dealer, or government securities dealer;
•
• other investment adviser or financial planner;
•
• banking or thrift institution;
•
• pension consultant;
•
•
Additionally, O’Connor Capital does not recommend or select other investment advisers for clients; does
not receive compensation directly or indirectly from other investment advisers; or has other business
relationships with such investment advisers that create a material conflict of interest with clients.
Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
O'Connor Capital has adopted a Code of Ethics (Code) that sets forth standards of business conduct,
including compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws, that it requires of its officers,
management and employees (associated persons). The Code is based on the principle that O'Connor
Capital and its associated persons have an overarching fiduciary duty to, at all times, place the interests
of its clients first. The Code establishes that no associated person of O'Connor Capital shall prefer their
own interests to those of advisory clients and, among other things, prohibits the use of material non-public
information. A copy of O'Connor Capital’s Code is available upon written request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Employees of O'Connor Capital may invest in securities for their personal accounts that are also
recommended to clients of the firm. Each employee is required to provide O'Connor Capital with quarterly
statements that show all trading activity and current holdings. Additionally, employee transactions are
subject to limitations regarding the type and timing of transactions, including certain trading prohibitions
and pre-approval and monitoring by a compliance officer of O'Connor Capital. Subject to restrictions listed
above, O'Connor Capital and its employees may at any time, buy, increase, decrease or sell positions in
investments for their own account in which a client may have an interest. Neither the firm nor its related
persons recommend to clients, or buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which the firm or its
related persons have a material financial interest.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
Recommendation of Broker/Dealers for Portfolio Management Services
O’Connor Capital requires that clients who wish to engage O’Connor Capital for its Portfolio Management
Services direct us to use Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services (FIWS), a leading provider of trading,
custody and brokerage services to independent investment advisors, such as O’Connor Capital. Because
O’Connor Capital does not currently have relationships with other broker-dealers, and that use of other
broker-dealers may affect O’Connor Capital’s ability to service client accounts, clients may not direct
O’Connor Capital to use other firms for brokerage services.
FIWS may use the trading and custodial services of its affiliates, Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC
(“FBS”), member NYSE/SIPC or National Financial Services (“National Financial”), LLC, which are
affiliates of each other and FIWS and independent FINRA member broker dealers. FIWS, FBS and
National Financial (collectively “Fidelity”) are affiliates of each other. Fidelity is not affiliated with O’Connor
Capital.
Clients should be aware of the following important facts regarding O’Connor Capitals exclusive use of
Fidelity:
9
• This limitation on the use of broker-dealers may affect O’Connor Capital’s ability to achieve most
favorable execution of client transactions, and therefore may cost clients more money; and
• Not all investment advisers require clients to use specified broker-dealers.
O’Connor Capital participates in Fidelity's institutional customer program. There is no direct link between
O’Connor Capital's participation in the program and the investment advice it gives to its clients, although
the firm does receive some economic benefits through its participation in the program that are typically
not available to Fidelity 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 Advisor participants;
access to block trading (which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions for execution and
then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts); the ability to have advisory fees deducted directly
from client accounts; 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 O’Connor Capital by third party vendors.
Some of the products and services made available by Fidelity through the program may benefit O’Connor
Capital but may not benefit its client accounts. These products or services may assist O’Connor Capital in
managing and administering client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Fidelity. Other services
made available by Fidelity are intended to help O’Connor Capital manage and further develop its
business enterprise. The benefits received by O’Connor Capital or its personnel through participation in
the program do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions directed to Fidelity. As part of its
fiduciary duties to clients, the firm endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first. Clients
should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by O’Connor Capital or its related
persons in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may indirectly influence the O’Connor
Capital's recommendation of Fidelity for custody and brokerage services.
When O’Connor Capital is placing transactions for your account at about the same time and for the same
security as for other client accounts, it may aggregate your transaction with the transactions of other
clients. This provides each client with average pricing for the transaction, so that no client is
disadvantaged by when their account is traded versus when another client’s account is traded. If an
aggregated order is only partially filled, O’Connor Capital ensures that no client is systematically
disadvantaged through the allocation process. In instances when O’Connor Capital is placing multiple
client trades in the same security at approximately the same time, and the security is priced intra-day
rather than end-of-day, O’Connor Capital ensures that no single client is systematically disadvantaged by
where there transaction is placed in the trading queue. Even so, because each transaction is placed
separately, not all clients will pay or receive the same price for the security and the price a particular client
pays or receives may be higher or lower than that of other clients.
Clients are advised there is an incentive for O’Connor Capital and its investment adviser representatives
to recommend a broker/dealer over another based on the products and services that will be received
rather than the client’s best interest.
Item 13. Review of Accounts
Client accounts are reviewed by James H. O’Connor, Chief Compliance Officer, on an as needed basis,
but at least quarterly, to ensure that it is being invested according to the stated goals and investment
policies set forth by the client and the firm. Additionally, a comprehensive annual review will be conducted
by the firm and the client.
While the firm does not provide regular reports to clients, clients will receive statements at least quarterly
from the custodian at which their accounts are maintained. Clients should review these statements
carefully for accuracy.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
10
O’Connor Capital does not directly or indirectly compensate others for referring clients to the firm.
Except for those items disclosed in Item 12 above relating to economic benefits received as a result of
O’Connor Capital’s participation in Fidelity’s institutional customer program, O’Connor Capital has no
arrangements in which it receives economic benefits from others for providing investment advice to
clients.
Item 15. Custody
Except for the direct billing of account fees (as authorized by clients in writing), O’Connor Capital does not
have any arrangements by which it accepts or undertakes custody of client funds or securities. Client
funds and securities are always held with a qualified custodian, such as Fidelity, who will provide the
client with an account statement at least each calendar quarter. The account statement, which you should
review carefully, shows the amount of O’Connor Capital’s management fees that are deducted from your
account during the period covered by the statement.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis upon receiving written authorization from the client.
When discretionary authority is granted, O’Connor Capital will have the authority to determine the type of
securities and the amount of securities that can be bought or sold for the client portfolio without obtaining
the client’s consent for each transaction.
Clients may place reasonable restrictions on the type of securities or amount of securities purchased for
their account. If, in O’Connor Capital’s sole determination, the restrictions placed by the client negatively
impact O’Connor Capital’s ability to effectively manage the client account, O’Connor Capital may
terminate the agreement with the client.
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
As a matter of firm policy and practice, O’Connor Capital and its investment advisor representatives do
not perform proxy-voting services on a client’s behalf. Clients are instructed to read through the
information provided with the proxy voting documents and to make a determination based on the
information provided. In some instances, upon request from the client, O’Connor Capital may give limited
clarification based on their understanding of issues presented in the proxy-voting materials. However, the
client will have the ultimate responsibility for making all proxy-voting decisions.
O’Connor Capital will neither advise nor act on behalf of the client in legal proceedings involving
companies whose securities are held in the client's account(s), including, but not limited to, the filing of
"Proofs of Claim" in class action settlements. If desired, clients may direct Advisor to transmit copies of
class action notices to the client or a third party. Upon such direction, Advisor will make commercially
