We use the Morningstar Sustainability RaLng scale (referred to as “globes”), which scores securiLes based on ESG characterisLcs on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being highest score. The strategy generally invests in exchange traded products within Category Four or Five, though Category Three may be included. If a holding is reassigned to Category Two or One, it will be reviewed by the strategy managers for removal from the strategy. The porQolios are built in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objecLves. porQolios: immediate, short-term, and long-term. If the Client enrolls in this strategy, the Client can designate a specific amount of assets needed to saLsfy short-term income needs. These assets will be invested in a low-risk reserve porQolio that will seek to generate returns in excess of the average money market fund with risk less than or equal to low duraLon investment bonds. We recommend one to two years' worth of withdrawals; however, the strategy allows the Client to specify a desired amount. If the Client elects systemaLc withdrawals on their account, assets will also be set aside in a low- risk cash account for those immediate, systemaLc withdrawals. The remainder of the Client’s account will be set aside in a long-term porQolio invested primarily in income-generaLng investments. The long-term porQolio will be invested primarily in ETFs. Assets designated for this porQolio will seek to provide long-term growth and a steady stream of income. Ac:ve Income Strategy Program Our AcLve Income Strategy is designed for Clients who prefer an acLve strategy that seeks a specific percentage yield by invesLng in income-producing securiLes. When selecLng the strategy, the Client will select the percentage yield to be targeted for the Client’s account. The strategy invests in ETFs and Closed-End Funds (“CEFs”) that specialize in income- producing assets. In addiLon to tradiLonal dividend- oriented equiLes and investment grade bonds, the income using non-tradiLonal strategy generates asset classes, such as master limited partnerships, real estate, converLbles, senior bank loans, high- yield bonds, and internaLonal debt. The porQolios are built in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objecLves. Digital Assets Por<olio Program We offer a Digital Assets Strategy that invests in exchange traded products to provide flexible and balanced exposure to the digital assets ecosystem. The porQolio will be allocated to 1) companies involved with cryptocurrency or digitalizaLon of the economy and 2) cryptocurrencies, with the allocaLon between these two categories varying based on the managers’ view of the risks and potenLal rewards. Companies must derive at least 50% of revenue from digital asset projects, partner or invest in such firms, or have a crypto segment that is an important segment of the company. Investment Portal is an Managed Income Strategy Program Our Managed Income Strategy uses risk budgeLng to manage an account for Clients seeking income from a diversified porQolio of income-producing assets.

Fees for such services are negoLated on a case-by-case basis. We also develop new investment management strategies on a test basis with funds provided by us, our employees, their family members, and a limited number of Clients before such management strategies are made available generally. Account Management Trading When we are granted Full DiscreLon or Limited Trading Authority for Client accounts, trading will occur through the brokerage account(s) Clients establish with a custodian. Strategists will provide us with instrucLons to rebalance or reallocate the Strategist Models depending on their asset allocaLon philosophy or selecLon process. These adjustments to the asset allocaLons will result in transacLons in a Client’s account. For OPS PlaQorm Clients, a minimum amount of five dollars per security is required on contribuLons and rebalance trades. There is no such limitaLon for BCI PlaQorm Clients). All Strategist Model allocaLons contain a minimum allocaLon to cash. For distribuLons, posiLons are redeemed pro-rata unless 16 of 62 lower cost share classes are TF mutual funds, it is possible that the Client would incur transacLon fees. Investment Advisor may otherwise specified. The last trade file submission will be sent to the custodian at or around 3 pm Eastern Lme. The Client or their Investment Advisor instruct OPS that a Client’s account will be invested in accordance with the Strategist Model as indicated on the ApplicaLon Addendum, Investment DirecLon Addendum, or other relevant OPS form and/or If the Strategist Model reassignment process. changes, OPS will rebalance a Client’s account to align it with the selected Strategist Model. Clients or instruct OPS to their terminate the use of the Strategist Models at any Lme. Clients will receive noLficaLon of all transacLons in their account(a) in the form of an account statement provided by the custodian. Strategist would otherwise make is not reasonable given Client Exclusions and Restric0ons impose For all of our programs, Clients may reasonable restricLons on the management of their account, including the designaLon of specific securiLes or a specific category of securiLes that should not be purchased for their account or that should be sold if held in the account, and may reasonably modify such restricLons from Lme to Lme. Any restricLons placed on the management of the Client’s account or parLcular requirements of an account may cause us or a third-party Strategist to deviate from investment decisions we or the third- party in recommending an investment strategy or managing the account. We or the Strategist may, at our sole discreLon, determine that a Client’s Exclusion or RestricLon the circumstances. In such instances the Client will not be able to invest in the idenLfied model or Strategy and must select an alternaLve. When a Client restricts a category of securiLes that may be purchased for the account, we or the third- party Strategist will determine, in our respecLve sole discreLon, the specific securiLes in that category. Any restricLons a Client imposes on individual securiLes that may be purchased for the account shall apply only to individual stocks within separately managed porQolios. fees or minimum For Strategist Program and Core Select strategies that invest in mutual funds, the custodians uLlized by us charge us an asset-based fee when Clients invest in certain share classes. These share classes are known as transacLon fee (“TF”) mutual funds. Absent the asset-based fee paid by us, Clients would be charged a transacLon fee typically ranging from $25 to $75 for each purchase of shares of a TF mutual fund. Because we are charged a fee for using certain share classes, we have a conflict when determining which share class to uLlize in Core Asset Manager or the Strategist Program. To miLgate this conflict, it is our policy is to use the lowest cost share class that is available at all custodians where the strategy is available (regardless of whether we have to pay an asset-based fee to the custodian). When selecLng mutual funds and mutual fund share classes, we will not uLlize mutual funds or mutual fund share classes that have short term redempLon investment requirements. For any mutual fund used in a strategy, it is possible that certain custodians may make available lowest cost share classes than the share classes used by us because we use the lowest cost share class available at all custodians that we use. If a Client invested in the same mutual fund directly at their custodian or used an advisory program from another advisor, such Client may be eligible for a lower cost share class. However, because some of the Wrap Fee Program, Transac0on Fees, and Other Expenses We offer some of our services as a “wrap fee program”, with opLons to allocate investments to stocks, exchange traded funds, model porQolios, or separately managed accounts. The wrap fee program is managed similarly to what is described in this Brochure. Please refer to Appendix 1 of our Form ADV Part 2A for addiLonal informaLon on our wrap fee program. Under the wrap fee programs, investment advice and costs of trade execuLons are provided to Clients for an all-inclusive wrap fee. This 17 of 62 be difficult to predict the level of trading acLvity in any year (and thus, whether the asset-based fee would be more or less costly than a separate transacLon charge). means that under wrap fee programs, we pay the trading costs out of the advisory fee that we receive from Clients. Clients can consult their investment advisory agreement to determine whether the strategies selected are part of our wrap fee program. “Trade-away” fees for fund’s investment management Qualified custodian Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) has agreed to waive execuLon fees for our PlaQorm Clients’ transacLons executed by Schwab. transacLons submiled to a custodian other than Schwab will sLll be assessed. Clients in our wrap fee program do not pay these “Trade-away” fees on a transacLon-by- transacLon basis as they are included in the wrap fee program fee. We took this into consideraLon when pricing our wrap fee program at such custodian. Our fee is in addiLon to the operaLng expenses of the funds included in Client accounts, which are expressed as the fund’s “expense raLo”. A fund expense raLo represents the percentage of the fund’s assets used to operate the fund and reflects the fee, administraLve costs, brokerage costs, distribuLon fees, and other operaLng expenses. Although these expenses are paid by the fund, Clients indirectly bear their pro rata share of such costs. Clients should consider both our fee and the internal expense raLos of the funds included in the program (which are set forth in the prospectus for each fund) when deciding whether the DesLnaLons program may be more or less costly than another investment program. Technology We offer our services through a technology plaQorm known as “Advisor Portal.” Advisor Portal is a technology plaQorm that was developed by our for proposal affiliate, Orion Tech and allows generaLon, account opening, trading, reporLng, and billing from one dashboard. ETF shares incur transacLon expenses, which are paid to the custodian either as a separate transacLon charge or through an asset-based fee (i.e., a percentage of assets in the account). With respect to any mutual funds included in the DesLnaLons ETFh strategies, we purchase the available mutual fund share class with the lowest internal expense raLo (generally the “InsLtuLonal” class), which share class may impose transacLon fees. Our fee for the DesLnaLons ETFh program includes an asset-based fee paid to the custodian to cover transacLon costs (see “DesLnaLon Program Fees” under Item 5 – Fees and CompensaLon of this Brochure). This enables us to make investment decisions for DesLnaLons ETFh accounts without regard to transacLon costs. Recordkeeping Services OPS provides recordkeeping services for reLrement plans who wish to make OPS’s Strategist Program available to their plan’s parLcipants. investment strategies for Re<rement Plan Services We offer reLrement plan advisory services through our BCI PlaQorm uLlizing both our proprietary and non-proprietary tax- exempt accounts, as well as mutual fund and ETF evaluaLon and selecLon to sponsors of reLrement plans (“Plans”) covered by the Employee ReLrement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) and other qualified and non-qualified deferred compensaLon plans (“ReLrement Plan Services”). Our ReLrement Plan Services are available to plans with at least $250,000 of investable assets, though Trading acLvity is influenced by the frequency of rebalances, contribuLons, and withdrawals. The more infrequent the trading acLvity (determined by fund changes and rebalances and Client addiLons and withdrawals) and the larger the size of the account, the more likely that an asset-based fee will be more costly than a separate transacLon charge. Since trading acLvity is dictated by mulLple factors, including changes in funds in a Client’s DesLnaLons ETFh porQolio (e.g., because of our performance evaluaLons, changes in managers, funds closing to new investment, etc.), and the frequency of deposits and distribuLons (which are driven by Clients), it may 18 of 62 this we may at our sole discreLon waive requirement. The ReLrement Plan Services Program is provided in conjuncLon with a recordkeeping service provider, who may also provide Plan administraLon (the “Recordkeeper”) and generally a broker-dealer or investment advisory firm. include Funds, We also offer evaluaLon and selecLon services to idenLfy a limited number of unaffiliated mutual funds and/or ETFs in which Plan parLcipants may invest their Plan accounts. Plan sponsors who elect this addiLonal service authorize us to select addiLonal funds. If a Plan sponsor elects the addiLonal fund evaluaLon service, we are authorized to select, add, remove and/or replace funds available for purchase by Plan parLcipants consistent with any wrilen investment policy approved by the Plan to us and with any sponsor and provided requirements under ERISA, based upon our evaluaLon of each fund's performance, market condiLons and other factors we deem appropriate. Plan sponsors can, however, specify securiLes which cannot be purchased. If we add a new fund or replace a fund on the addiLonal fund list, we will noLfy the Plan sponsor sufficiently in advance of such acLon to enable the Plan sponsor to provide any noLce to Plan parLcipants required under ERISA. The Plan sponsor is responsible for delivering to Plan parLcipants any change noLce required under ERISA informing such Plan parLcipants how their accounts will be invested as of the change if the Plan parLcipant fails to provide affirmaLve investment direcLons. In the ReLrement Plan Services Program, the Plan sponsor enters into both (i) an investment advisory agreement with us, and (ii) a separate administraLve and recordkeeping services agreement with the Recordkeeper. The Investment Advisor may also be a party to the investment advisory agreement. In accordance with the investment advisory agreement, we offer guidance to the Plan sponsor and assist in selecLng an array of investment strategies, which may for the DesLnaLons consideraLon. The Plan sponsor subsequently designates these strategies as investment opLons available to Plan parLcipants under the Plan.

Des<na<ons Funds We serve as the investment advisor for each series of the Brinker Capital DesLnaLons Trust, a registered investment company (each, a “DesLnaLons Fund” and collecLvely, the “DesLnaLons Funds”). A current list of the DesLnaLons Funds can be found at desLnaLonsfunds.com. includes risks, If we invest Client accounts in Class Z shares as opposed to Class I shares, our custodian would charge the Client a separate custody and clearing fee. Generally, that fee would be more than the 15 basis points sub-transfer agent fee that the Class I shares pay to the DesLnaLons Funds’ custodian. The fee would depend on account size and would include a minimum fee, which would significantly increase the effecLve rate for smaller accounts. Consequently, we determined that the overall cost for Clients on the OPS and BCI PlaQorms would be greater than the cost associated with an investment in Class I shares. For these reasons, we invest asset on the OPS and BCI PlaQorms in Class I shares of the DesLnaLons Funds, which are the overall lower cost alternaLve for those OPS and BCI PlaQorm Clients. Each DesLnaLons Fund employs a manager-of- managers structure, whereby we select and oversee professional third-party investment managers (each, a “sub-advisor”), who are responsible for invesLng the assets allocated to them. We may also allocate a porLon of a DesLnaLons Fund’s assets to one or more ETF and mutual funds. Each DesLnaLons Fund is offered by its prospectus only. The prospectus for each DesLnaLons Fund investment objecLves, fees, expenses, and other informaLon that prospecLve investors should read and consider carefully before invesLng. fees charged by The sub-transfer agent fees that may be charged to Clients invested through a third-party plaQorm may be more or less than the 15 basis points sub-transfer agency fee charged by the DesLnaLons Funds’ custodian with respect to the Class I shares. Each broker-dealer or financial advisor who holds accounts outside of the OPS or BCI PlaQorms will determine the appropriate share class for its Clients based on an analysis of costs to both the Client and their firm and the services provided to each share class. We offer our DesLnaLons Funds on the OPS and BCI PlaQorms as part of our advisory services. In addiLon, the DesLnaLons Funds are offered on the plaQorms of unaffiliated broker-dealers and sponsors. The custodians for such third-party plaQorms omen impose certain custody and clearing fees for administraLve services provided to Client accounts (“sub-transfer agent fees”) separate from the the sub-transfer agent DesLnaLons Funds’ custodian. The DesLnaLons Funds offer two classes of shares: Class I and Class Z. Class Z shares are offered to Clients that invest through a third-party plaQorm that may charge an external sub-transfer agent fee. AddiLonally, we use only our DesLnaLons Funds in our DesLnaLons Fund program. DesLnaLons Funds may have higher ongoing operaLng expenses (and thus higher expense raLos) than unaffiliated funds available in other investment programs. Accordingly, the DesLnaLons program, which uses DesLnaLons Funds exclusively, may be more costly than other mutual fund allocaLon programs that uLlize funds with lower expense raLos. The expense raLo for Class I shares is approximately 15 basis points (0.15%) higher than the expense raLo for Class Z shares. The 15 basis point difference represents sub-transfer agent fees a DesLnaLons Fund pays to its custodian with respect to Class I shares for administraLve services provided to Client accounts. Clients invested in the Class Z shares do not 20 of 62 Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2025, we managed $53,421,780,525 of Client assets on a discreLonary basis and $11,420,354,826 of Client assets on a non- discreLonary basis. For the remaining assets on our plaQorm, we provide services, but do not provide administraLve investment advice regarding these assets or have investment discreLon over these assets. Shares of the DesLnaLons Funds available to parLcipants in our advisory programs are InsLtuLonal share classes that do not pay Rule 12b-1 fees or other similar distribuLon or transacLon expenses. With respect to proprietary models that invest in third-party funds and the DesLnaLons Funds, Brinker purchases the available third-party fund share class with the lowest internal expense raLo (generally the “InsLtuLonal” class). However, these third-party funds may impose transacLon fees in connecLon with the purchase or sale of shares. 21 of 62 Item 5 – Fees and CompensaCon Our fee structure varies between the OPS and BCI PlaQorms. The primary fee is split in the following manner: General We will assess and collect Clients fees for the services provided to them by ourselves, the Strategists, and the Client’s Investment Advisor in the manner authorized by the Client. OPS Pla$orm AdministraLve Fee BCI Pla$orm Brinker Fee Component Strategist Fee Strategy Fee Component Advisory Fees Financial Advisor Fee Component Defini+on The fee we charge for the advisory services we offer to clients. This can someLmes be referred to as a “PlaQorm Fee.” This is the fee for each strategy or model selected by a Client or their Investment Advisor for their account. For models or strategies selected for which we are the Strategist, we retain this fee, in addiLon to the AdministraLve Fee or Brinker Fee Component. For models or strategies where we are NOT the strategist, this fee is paid to the Strategist.1 The fee paid to the Client’s Investment Advisor for their advisory services, or for soliciLng accounts on our behalf. 1For Strategist Models where we are not the Strategist, we retain up to 0.05% of the Strategist Fee/Strategy Fee Component. The Strategist may also elect to pay us these fees directly from their own funds and not from the Strategist Fee/Strategy Fee Component. If a Strategist elects to pay us the fees directly, we will not retain any porAon of such Strategist’s Strategist Fee/Strategy Fee Component. We do not retain the Strategist Fee/Strategy Fee Component for certain Strategies available on the BCI PlaHorm that are also available on the OPS PlaHorm for the porAon of assets of such strategies on the BCI PlaHorm. Monthly Billing Generally, for offerings on our OPS PlaQorm, we bill monthly in arrears based on the average daily balance of the account for the previous month. Billing Methods Advisory fees are paid by Clients monthly or quarterly, either in advance or in arrears, depending on the service selected by the Client and their Investment Advisor. Unless otherwise agreed to by us, we will instruct the custodians to deduct the fees directly from the Client’s account under the Biling Authority described in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure. Accounts in each Client’s household are aggregated and we apply that aggregate balance of accounts when assessing our fees, as well as any Investment Advisor breakpoint or Lered schedule. Accounts will not be consolidated if they were iniLally structured as disLnct households. A household is defined as all custodian accounts at the same residenLal address. Quarterly Billing Generally, for offerings on our BCI PlaQorm, we bill quarterly in advance. When billing in advance, the iniLal fee is based on the market value of a Client’s account when it is opened and prorated for the number of days remaining in the calendar quarter. Thereamer, the quarterly fee is due on the first business day of each quarter and is based on the market value of the Client’s account on the last business day of the immediately preceding quarter. If Client advisory fees are billed in advance, Clients may also be billed for addiLonal monies added to their account during the advisory fee period. No adjustments to the Client advisory fee will be made 22 of 62 account subject to ERISA as the paying account for fees associated with non-ERISA accounts. for monies withdrawn during the advisory fee period. Upon terminaLon, we will issue Clients a prorated refund of all unearned advisory fees that were paid in advance. Method of Payment The manner in which we bill for our services is dependent upon the relaLonship type. See Item 4 – Advisory Business for a descripLon of the various relaLonship types we offer. Sub-Advisory In a sub-advisory relaLonship, our fee is payable to us by the Investment Advisor. The Investment Advisor may delegate to us authority to bill Client accounts directly, retain our porLon of the fee and the porLon of the fee due to any Strategist (as applicable), and remit the remaining porLon to the Investment Advisor. AlternaLvely, we may invoice the Investment Advisor for fees owed to us and any Strategist (as applicable). If we have authority to bill Clients directly, we will be deemed to have limited custody of Client assets.

Co-Advisory and Solicitor In a co-advisory or solicitor arrangement, our fee is payable to us by the Client and is generally paid through either redempLon of mutual fund shares or deducLon of cash from the Client's separately managed accounts, based on the weighted average of the managed account market values. However, upon request of the Client, we will bill the Client separately instead of deducLng the fees. Clients can select to have one account from which all fees for their household are deducted.

Fees are negoLable between us and the Client. In addiLon to the fees in this chart, Clients will be assessed a Strategist/Strategy fee and an Investment Advisor fee. Other Fee Informa<on The following secLons outline important addiLonal informaLon relaLng to our fees. The Strategist/Strategy generally ranges from 0.00% to 0.50%. For Strategies where we are the Strategist, we may receive a Strategist/Strategy fee. The exact amount of the fee, and whether the fee will be paid to us, will be included in the Client’s new account paperwork. The Investment Advisor fee is negoLated between a Investment Advisor and may Client and their represent either an advisory fee or a solicitor fee, depending on the Investment Advisor’s relaLonship with us. Fee Distribu0on We distribute a porLon of the Brinker Fee Component to certain Investment Advisors who have significant assets invested in our PlaQorms or for other reasons, at our discreLon. The amount of any distribuLon is individually negoLated with each Investment Advisor. Any Brinker Fee Component distributed to an Investment Advisor is retained by that Investment Advisor and does not consLtute a reducLon in the Brinker Fee Component for Clients. Lme Fee Changes We may amend our fee schedule upon at least 30 days’ prior wrilen noLce. Because the other costs associated with a Client’s account will be passed through to the Client, their total fee will vary based upon the allocaLon of an account among Strategists, specific Strategist selecLon, and the number of Strategists rather than based upon the funds included in an account. We post fee schedules for Strategists (which determine the Strategy Fee Component) and, if appliable, for the Custody and Clearing Fee Component, as they may be amended from our website on Lme, to (orion.com/wealth-management). Fee Review Clients should carefully review all fees charged by us, their Investment Advisor, and any funds Clients are invested in to fully understand the total amount of fees that are paid. It is the Client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the fee we charge to their account. The fee we collect will appear on the Client’s custodial statement, though the custodian does not determine whether the fee has been properly calculated. In addiLon, a fee summary is available to Clients through our website. Fees charged by us are separate and disLnct from fees and expenses charged by a Client’s Investment Advisor, mutual funds or ETFs traded within the Strategist Models, or a Strategist providing a Strategist Model. A descripLon of mutual fund or ETF fees and expenses are available in each fund’s prospectus. Termina0on of Services and Termina0on Fees We can terminate our advisory services with a Client at any Lme by providing wrilen noLce. Likewise, a Client can terminate our services at any Lme by providing us with wrilen noLce. If a Client’s use of our services is terminated within (5) five business As explained in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure, we use the lowest cost share class that is available at all custodians where the strategy is available. Therefore, it is possible that a parLcular custodian may offer a lower cost share class, but it 25 of 62 days from the date of incepLon, all fees paid by the Client in advance will be promptly refunded and no terminaLon fee will be charged. Should a Client’s agreement be terminated at any other Lme, the Client will receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees. The current TerminaLon Fee is $75 per account for full outgoing distribuLons or non-ACAT transfers. The TerminaLon Fee may be discounted for Clients of Investment Advisors who have a significant amount of assets invested on our PlaQorms. Any discount is individually negoLated with each Investment Advisor at our discreLon. AddiLonal account terminaLon fees may be charged by the custodian. Compensa0on Our porQolio manager personnel compensaLon includes an annual base salary and a discreLonary bonus, which may be based on various factors including performance metrics and firm profitability. Our sales personnel receive compensaLon based on new assets subject to our services and are eligible for bonuses based on redempLons or terminaLons. These compensaLon structures create an incenLve for our financial professionals to recommend that Clients increase the size of their assets managed by us (or not terminate), even when alternaLves exist. Certain professionals have an equity interest in our parent company, GT Polaris Holdings, LP, which creates a general incenLve for these professionals to grow firm revenue, including through asset growth and plaQorm uLlizaLon. Upon terminaLon, Clients should immediately contact their custodian to ensure the Client Account is allocated according to Client wishes. Clients are responsible for paying for services rendered unLl the terminaLon of the agreement. Orion Investment Portal We receive compensaLon directly from Strategists whose models are made available on our Orion Investment Portal. Legacy Fee Schedules The fees outlined in this Brochure are current as of the date of the Brochure. Clients may be assessed fees based on Legacy Fee Schedules, which would be included in the paperwork completed at the Lme such Clients engaged us for advisory services, and any subsequent amendments thereto. Our proprietary strategies are available within the Orion Investment Portal plaQorm. Pricing for such Strategies may vary compared to the pricing on the Orion PorQolio SoluLons PlaQorm and Brinker Capital Investments PlaQorm listed above. For more informaLon about the Orion CommuniLes plaQorm, please refer to Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure. Custodian Services Custodian services will be provided by a qualified custodian, including our affiliate, ConstellaLon Trust Company (“CTC”). Please refer to Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcLviLes and AffiliaLons of this Brochure for more informaLon on our affiliates, including CTC. The investments in each Strategist Model for non- qualified accounts may be held in either a separate brokerage account or a UMA brokerage account with sleeves at the Client’s custodian. The custodian typically receives a shareholder servicing fee from the load-waived mutual funds held by the Client Accounts. Des0na0ons Funds Program We use Affiliated Funds exclusively in our DesLnaLons Funds program. The Affiliated Funds may have higher ongoing expenses than unaffiliated mutual funds. In evaluaLng the overall cost of the DesLnaLons program as compared to other investment programs, Clients should note that we receive advisory fees as the investment advisor in DesLnaLons Funds. Because we receive advisory fees as the Investment Advisor to the DesLnaLon Funds, we do not charge the AdministraLve Fee or Brinker Fee Component for the porLon of any 26 of 62 MCAM PorQolios. We have a conflict as each Strategist may expect that a porLon of the total assets in the porQolios be allocated to their funds or models. To miLgate this conflict, we manage the MCAM PorQolios based upon their investment objecLves, our long-term capital forecasts and limit the allocaLon of the models to the DesLnaLons Funds-. Further, Clients and their Investment Advisor, not us, are responsible for selecLng the most suitable porQolio for Clients. We do not provide advice or recommendaLons regarding porQolio selecLons. DesLnaLons porQolio account allocated to the DesLnaLons Funds. However, because we receive advisory fees in connecLon with the DesLnaLons program, we have an incenLve to recommend the DesLnaLons program to the extent that we receive a greater porLon of the Total Fee charged than we do in other programs. The fee for our DesLnaLons ETFh includes an asset-based fee to cover program transacLon costs, which may be more costly for larger accounts with relaLvely low trading acLvity than a program that imposes a separate charge on each share transacLon. Tailored Alloca0on PorIolios The unaffiliated Strategists whose mutual funds or ETFs are uLlized within the Tailored AllocaLon PorQolios pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in the Tailored AllocaLon PorQolios program. Brinker Blended PorIolios The advisors to the unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs uLlized within the Brinker Blended PorQolios may pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in such porQolios. We have a conflict because the fees received by us vary based upon the funds proporLon of such funds uLlized within the porQolios. To miLgate this conflict, we manage the Brinker Blended PorQolios based upon their investment objecLves and our long-term capital forecasts and limit the proporLon of the porQolios allocated to the non-affiliated funds which pay us a fee to between 25% and 35% of the total porQolio allocaLon. The advisors of unaffiliated funds included in the program who pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in this program are: • Main Management, LLC We have a conflict as we might be inclined to transiLon the Client’s assets into the Strategist’s proprietary products more quickly than the Client otherwise would. This is miLgated by a contractual understanding that the holdings in the account will be selected based on the desires and needs of the investor and any allocaLon and trading will be done based on the capital gains budgets and transiLon plans idenLfied to us by the Investor or their Advisor. Further, the Strategists pay us based on the enLre balance in the account, regardless of the proporLon of the account allocated to their proprietary products. We receive no compensaLon from any other non- affiliated mutual funds or ETFs included in these porQolios. AddiLonally, we have a conflict in that we are compensated based on the Strategist selected. This conflict is miLgated as Clients and their Investment Advisor, not us, are responsible for selecLng the most suitable porQolio for Clients. We do not provide advice or recommendaLons regarding porQolio selecLons. Municipal Securi0es PorIolios & Individual ETF or Mutual Fund Holdings We offer two Custody and Clearing fee structures for acLvely managed municipal securiLes porQolios. Clients may elect to be charged a separate Lcket charge on each trade in the account or an asset- based fee. The current Lcket charge is $30.00 per trade for fixed income and mutual funds and $8 per trade for equiLes and ETF’s, which may be changed from Lme to Lme.

If this applies to the strategy Clients select, it will be disclosed in the Client’s ApplicaLon Addendum or investment advisory agreement, as applicable. In addiLon, some Strategists select mutual funds for which they or their affiliate act as advisor when developing their Strategist Model. Certain of these Strategists share a porLon of the fees they collect from mutual funds they manage with us. Below are the Strategists who share these fees with us: Whether the per trade or the asset-based opLon is more suitable for Clients in acLvely managed municipal securiLes porQolios or individual ETFs or mutual funds will depend on the size of the account and the level of actual trading in the account. The per Lcket charge will generally be more suitable regular distribuLon programs, where the added Lcket charge will usually be less than the addiLonal management fee, while the asset-based fee will generally be more suitable for smaller accounts or accounts that have above average transacLon volume due to frequent addiLons or liquidaLons. • Advanced Asset Management Advisors • Focus Partners Advisor Solutions fka Buckingham Strategic Partners The Clearing and Custody Fee Schedule in effect from Lme to Lme is available to Clients on our website (hlps://orion.com/wealth-management). • Horizon Investments • Meeder Investment Management • Toews Corporation • Ocean Park Asset Management • Clark Capital • iMGP to deposit cash or other in All Strategists on our plaQorm have the opportunity to pay us a fee for, among other services, markeLng and support with respect to the Strategist Program. Some, but not all Strategist, pay us such a fee. These fee sharing arrangements vary and create a conflict of interest since we have an incenLve to conLnue to recommend the Strategists who pay us such a fee for Unsupervised Asset Fee As an accommodaLon to a Client, we may permit a Client securiLes (“Unsupervised Assets”) their account or, alternaLvely, at the Client’s discreLon, in a separate account established with the custodian, for which we do not provide allocaLon, porQolio asset management, or performance monitoring services. Clients will be charged any clearing fees or transacLon charges imposed by the custodian or 28 of 62 the Strategist Program. AddiLonally, Strategists may refer or recommend their clients to invest via our plaQorm. This arrangement creates an incenLve for us to keep these Strategists over others that we may be considering.

As a result, Clients with similar assets may have differing fee schedules and pay different fees. Clients can request that related accounts be combined in order to meet fee break points and reduce the advisory fee charged. We reserve the right to waive or reduce the advisory fee for certain accounts such as employee accounts and personal accounts of Investment Advisors who refer business to us. Clients who negoLate a flat fee schedule may or may not pay a higher fee than those who pay under a Lered schedule, depending on asset levels. The same or similar investment advisory services may be available from other investment advisors for a lower fee. We offer a program where Strategists on our PlaQorms can purchase from us data containing aggregate informaLon regarding the Investment Advisors who are researching or recommending their strategies or models. AddiLonal informaLon regarding this can be found in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcLviLes and AffiliaLons of this Brochure. Promo0onal Fee Discounts From Lme to Lme, we may offer promoLonal fee discounts to the Client’s Investment Advisor (either individually or in a group of similar investment advisors). This can include discounts for technology services offered by our affiliates, Orion Tech and / or Redtail Technologies, LLC. This creates a conflict for the Investment Advisor(s) or Investment Advisors as they are encouraged to investment advisory services recommend our relaLve to the investment advisory services of other advisors with similar programs to ours. Please review the Investment Advisor’s Form ADV Part2A for more informaLon regarding their parLcipaLon in such promoLons. PorIolio Audit Services The cost of PorQolio Audit Services are included as part of the fees Investment Advisors pay to us. Re<rement Plan Services Program Fees Clients in our RPS program generally pay two fees: the Brinker Fee Component and the Investment Advisor’s Fee. For accounts that involve a solicitor, the solicitor’s fee is a set percentage of the Plan in the account’s net asset value, as outlined Non-Standard Fees The advisory fee schedules listed above are our standard rates. Actual fees, and/or the porLon of the advisory fee retained by us and the Client’s Investment Advisor, may vary. Please refer to the Client investment advisory agreement, including alached addendums and schedules, to determine the Client’s advisory fee. The standard fee schedules listed above and minimum account sizes for our strategies are described in more detail in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure. Fees may be discounted or negoLated at our discreLon and fees for customized investment strategies developed for a Client are negoLated on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, from Lme-to-Lme we offer program- wide fee discounts and reduced account minimums as part of markeLng and promoLonal programs. Such programs may be iniLated or disconLnued at our discreLon. Based on this, we offer some or all Clients of certain Investment Advisors discounted fees based on the amount of assets an individual Client or the Investment Advisor has with us, the efficiencies 29 of 62 investment advisory agreement.

The applicable percentage is based on the Plan’s total account value as of the last business day of each calendar quarter. We may amend the fee schedule upon at least 90 days prior wrilen noLce to Plan Sponsor. Accounts above $10 million are priced separately. We also may negoLate a lower fee on a case-by-case basis. The Investment Advisor’s fee is established by the Investment Advisor, not us. The Investment Advisor’s role and its fees are described in that firm’s Form ADV, Part 2A. Both solicitor and co-advisor Clients also pay a separate fee to the Recordkeeper and administraLve services. Mutual funds and ETFs incur management fees and other operaLng fees and expenses, which are in addiLon to the fees paid by the Client to us, the Investment Advisor, and the Recordkeeper. Fees for our RPS program can be paid in advance or in arrears. When paid in arrears the fee is based on the Plan’s account value, as of the last business day of each calendar quarter and are due the following business day. Fees are prorated for the balance of the calendar quarter in which the Plan’s account is iniLally opened. In the event of terminaLon of the account, the fees will be adjusted, on a pro rata basis, to reflect the porLon of the final quarter in which terminaLon occurs. Brinker Fund Fee Offset Advisory fees paid to us or our affiliates by any fund including any advised by us or our affiliates, to a Plan’s DesLnaLons Fund, with respect investment in such fund are credited to, or offset and reduce, dollar-for-dollar the Brinker Fee Component otherwise payable to us. The Brinker Fee Component in the above table is gross of such offset. If the Brinker Fund Fee Offset exceeds the Brinker Fee Component calculated under the foregoing fee schedule, we will reduce the Plan’s total fee by such excess amount. If the fee offset exceeds the total fee payable to us (including the Investment Advisor’s fee), such excess will be paid to the Plan. The amount of the Brinker Fund Fee Offset may change based on changes to the advisory fees paid to us or our affiliate by fund(s) advised by us or our affiliate. the Investment Advisor's in accordance with the The Brinker Fee Component for the RPS program (excluding is fee) determined following schedule: Total Plan Account Value* Brinker Fee Component Up to $2,500,000 0.35% to $5 0.30% $2,500,000.00 up million 0.25% $5 million to $7million 0.20% Over $7,000,000 * Note: Total Plan Account Value represents the porLon of the Plan assets managed by or 30 of 62 Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management performance fee accounts is that we could devote more Lme and alenLon to performance fee accounts than to accounts under an asset-based fee arrangement. AddiLonally, performance-based fees create an incenLve for an advisor such as to recommend investments that may be riskier or more speculaLve than those that would be recommended under a different fee arrangement. Since we endeavor at all Lmes to put the interests of Clients first as part of our fiduciary duty as a registered investment advisor, we take the following steps to address these conflicts: employees to 1. We disclose to investors and prospecLve Clients the existence of material conflicts of interest, including the potenLal for our firm and earn more its compensaLon from some Clients than others. 2. We have implemented wrilen policies and procedures for fair and consistent allocaLon of investment opportuniLes among all Clients. We charge certain insLtuLonal endowment Clients a performance fee, which is based upon a share of capital gains or capital appreciaLon of the assets of such Client. Performance-based fees will only be charged in accordance with the provisions of Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and/or applicable state regulaLons. In addiLon, it is our policy not to retain any fees charged and to pass performance-based through any collected performance-based fees to third parLes that provide investment research and/or advisory services to us in connecLon with our management of a Client’s account, as directed by the Client. In order for us to be eligible for a performance-based fee, the account’s performance must exceed a designated benchmark. If the account outperforms the designated benchmark, we receive a performance fee of up to 20% of the return in excess of the benchmark. The complete terms of our advisory fee are disclosed in the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Client and us. The performance fees charged by us may be higher than the performance fees charged by other investment advisors for the same or similar services. 3. We periodically compare holdings and performance of all accounts with similar strategies to idenLfy significant performance dispariLes indicaLve of possible favorable treatment. interest we 4. We educate our employees regarding the responsibiliLes of a fiduciary, including the equitable treatment of all Clients, regardless of the fee arrangement. 5. Only Clients that are able to assume addiLonal risk are solicited to engage in a performance fee arrangement. Our Strategists are responsible for managing performance-based fee accounts and accounts that are charged another type of fee. There are potenLal conflicts of face by managing performance-based accounts at the same Lme as managing asset based, non-performance based accounts. For example, the nature of a performance fee poses an opportunity for us to earn more compensaLon than under a stand-alone asset-based fee. Consequently, we may favor performance fee accounts over those accounts where we receive only an asset-based fee. One way we may favor 31 of 62 Item 7 – Types of Clients municipal government enLLes. All Programs (other than RPS) are available to these different types of investors, subject to certain minimum investment amounts. Secondarily, we provide investment advice directly to the types of Clients idenLfied above through an arrangement where Investment Advisors refer such Clients to us. This is referred to herein as a “solicitor” relaLonship. We primarily provide investment management and recordkeeping services to Investment Advisors and their Clients. These Investment Advisors use our OPS PlaQorm and BCI PlaQorm to service their Clients.

Risk: The lengths of economic cycles may be difficult to predict with accuracy and therefore the risk of 33 of 62 is the difficulty announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of Lmes. in predicLng cyclical analysis economic trends and consequently the changing value of securiLes that would be affected by these changing trends. Modern PorIolio Theory A theory of investment which alempts to maximize porQolio expected return for a given amount of porQolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, by carefully diversifying the proporLons of various assets. Short Sales Unlike a straighQorward investment in stocks where you buy shares with the expectaLon that their price will increase so you can sell at a profit, in a "short sale" you borrow stocks from your brokerage firm and sell them immediately, hoping to buy them later at a lower price. Thus, a short seller hopes that the price of a stock will go down in the near future. A short seller thus uses declines in the market to his advantage. The short seller makes money when the stock prices fall and loses when prices go up. The SEC has strict regulaLons in place regarding short selling. Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securiLes of the same general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated by diversificaLon. Long-Term Purchases SecuriLes purchased with the expectaLon that the value of those securiLes will grow over a relaLvely long period of Lme, generally greater than one year. Risk: Short selling is very risky. Investors should exercise extreme cauLon before short selling is implemented. A short seller will profit if the stock goes down in price, but if the price of the shares increase, the potenLal losses are unlimited because the stock can keep rising forever. There is no ceiling on how much a short seller can lose in a trade. The share price may keep going up and the short seller will have to pay whatever the prevailing stock price is to buy back the shares. However, gains have a ceiling level because the stock price cannot fall below zero. Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in the long- term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your parLcular investment will go down over Lme even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be beler uLlized in the short-term in other investments. Short-Term Purchases SecuriLes purchased with the expectaLon that they will be sold within a relaLvely short period of Lme, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securiLes' short-term price fluctuaLons. Risk: A short seller has to undertake to pay the earnings on the borrowed securiLes as long as the short seller chooses to keep the short posiLon open. If the company declares huge dividends or issues bonus shares, the short seller will have to pay that amount to the lender. Any such occurrence can skew the enLre short investment and make it unprofitable. The broker can use the funds in the short seller's margin account to buy back the loaned shares or issue a "call away" to get the short seller to return the borrowed securiLes. If the broker makes this call when the stock price is much higher than the price at the Lme of the short sale, then the investor can end up taking huge losses. Risk: Margin interest can be a significant expense. Since short sales can only be undertaken in margin accounts, the interest payable on short trades can be Risk: Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproporLonately higher amount of transacLon costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate changes, cyclical earnings 34 of 62 substanLal, especially if short posiLons are kept open over an extended period. trading Risk: Shares that are difficult to borrow – because of high short interest, limited float, or any other reason – have “hard-to-borrow” fees. These fees are based on an annualized rate that can range from a small fracLon of a percent to more than 100% of the value of the short trade. The hard-to-borrow rate can fluctuate substanLally on a daily basis; therefore, the exact dollar amount of the fee may not be known in advance, and may be substanLal.   Trading We may use frequent trading (in general, selling securiLes within 30 days of purchasing the same securiLes) as an investment strategy when managing your account(s). Frequent is not a fundamental part of our overall investment strategy, but we may use this strategy occasionally when we determine that it is suitable given your stated investment objecLves and tolerance for risk. This may include buying and selling securiLes frequently in an effort to capture significant market gains and avoid significant losses. Margin Transac0ons A securiLes transacLon in which an investor borrows money to purchase a security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan. Risk: When a frequent trading policy is in effect, there is a risk that investment performance within your account may be negaLvely affected, parLcularly through increased brokerage and other transacLonal costs and taxes. factors to Risk: If the value of the shares drops sufficiently, the investor will be required to either deposit more cash into the account or sell a porLon of the stock in order to maintain the margin requirements of the account. This is known as a "margin call." An investor's overall risk includes the amount of money invested plus the amount that was loaned to them. Investment Strategy Due Diligence We uLlize a combinaLon of qualitaLve and idenLfy, evaluate, and quanLtaLve monitor the strategies made available on our PlaQorms. The quanLtaLve analysis focuses on the performance of the strategies relaLve to benchmarks and peers, porQolio risk metrics, and both the short- term and long-term track records of the strategies managed by each investment manager (including Strategists and SMA Managers, each, an “Investment Manager”). Our qualitaLve analysis reviews the breadth and depth of resources of operaLons of the Investment Manager, including organizaLonal history, investment team experience, firm size and ownership structure investment philosophy and process client servicing capabiliLes, relaLonship with us, and other characterisLcs. Op0on Wri0ng A securiLes transacLon that involves selling an opLon. An opLon is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligaLon, to buy or sell a parLcular security at a specified price on or before the expiraLon date of the opLon. When an investor sells a call opLon, he or she must deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer exercises the opLon. When an investor sells a put opLon, he or she must pay the strike price per share if the buyer exercises the opLon, and will receive the specified number of shares. The opLon writer/seller receives a premium (the market price of the opLon at a parLcular Lme) in exchange for wriLng the opLon. Risk: OpLons are complex investments and can be very risky, especially if the investor does not own the underlying stock. In certain situaLons, an investor's risk can be unlimited.

Investment Strategy Development CriLcal to the success of any investment plan is a well-defined risk tolerance, risk capacity, risk composure, Lme horizons, rate of return targets, and liquidity needs. We use an investment strategy quesLonnaire (also called a Risk Tolerance QuesLonnaire or Risk Tolerance Assessment) to assist in developing a recommended or suggested investment strategy for each Client. Custom Indexing We make available certain Custom Indexing and tax managed strategies, which replicate broad market indices or strategist models through the direct purchase of individual securiLes. These strategies seek to replicate the risk/return profile of the index or strategy being targeted and can create tax alpha by harvesLng tax losses to offset taxes on capital gains as well as provide comprehensive tax transiLons. to analyze Investment Strategy Ques0onnaire BCI Clients introduced to us through a solicitor Investment Advisor will complete an investment strategy quesLonnaire developed by us or a third- party advisor which idenLfies the Client objecLves, assets, risk tolerance, risk capacity, risk composure, personal situaLon, and investment experience.

We also consider a Client’s level of investable assets and desired level of investment discreLon in recommending programs. Discre<onary Programs As menLoned above, in addiLon to third-party Investment Manager strategies, we make available certain strategies that are managed internally. The plaQorm provides porQolios managed by our porQolio management team using mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and other exchange-traded products. In addiLon, the OPS PlaQorm offers the MCAM (Market Cycle Advised Mandate) PorQolios which are also managed by us and are composed of third-party and proprietary funds.

The Conflicts Commilee is chaired by our Chief Compliance Officer. seek to Under our current fee schedules, the amount of fees we receive does not change based upon the allocaLon of assets in a Client’s account among Strategists and/or funds, which we believe eliminates any incenLve or conflict with respect to the allocaLon of assets in a Client’s account. We uLlize only our DesLnaLons Funds in our DesLnaLons Funds models, for which we serve as the advisor and receive an advisory fee from the DesLnaLons Funds. This creates a potenLal conflict of interest, which we seek to miLgate by excluding the DesLnaLons Funds when calculaLng the Brinker Fee Component and AdministraLon Fees, as applicable, for accounts in the DesLnaLons models. See also Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcLviLes and AffiliaLons of this Brochure. Risk Budge<ng We also uLlize Risk BudgeLng for certain investment strategies. Risk BudgeLng is the spending allowance with regard to risk that we allow for a Client’s porQolio. The risk associated with each investment is carefully considered before it is added to a Client’s porQolio. Under Risk BudgeLng, Clients are assigned a Risk Budget and each security is assigned a risk value primarily based on volaLlity. The Risk Budget is expressed as a percentage of the risk relaLve to a diversified equity porQolio benchmark. For example, a Risk Budget of 100 would represent a porQolio with a risk similar to 100% of the risk of a diversified equity porQolio and a porQolio with a Risk Budget of 60 would represent a porQolio with a risk similar to 60% of the risk of a diversified equity porQolio. Within the constraints of the Risk Budget that Clients select, we idenLfy alracLve market acLvely opportuniLes. Our Risk BudgeLng Methodology is flexible enough to be applied to a broad variety of levels, from aggressive to Client risk comfort conservaLve. and/or Conflicts of Interest From Lme to Lme, our investment team, Investment Commilee, and/or the Investment Due Diligence Commilee members may have a conflict of interest investment recommendaLon, when making an including any benefits we or such individuals receives from a third party.

CompensaLon we receive from Strategists, either directly or indirectly, is not taken into account by our investment due diligence team when adding or removing Strategies from the “Select List” and “Watch List.” Interest Rate Risk PorQolios may change in response to the movement of interest rates. The price of a fixed income security will generally fall when interest rates rise, and vice versa. Manager Risk Performance may deviate from overall market returns if we or any unaffiliated Strategist is either more defensive or more aggressive when the market is rising or falling, respecLvely. Risk of Loss The descripLon contained herein is an overview of the risks entailed in the various advisory programs we offer and is not intended to be complete. All invesLng involves a risk of loss, our programs could lose money over short or long periods. in securiLes Credit Risk The value of a Client’s investment in the porQolio may change in response to changes in the credit raLngs of the porQolio’s securiLes. Generally, investment risk and price volaLlity increase as a security’s credit raLng declines. InvesLng inherently risky. An is investment in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, or stocks could lose money. We and the Strategists cannot give any guarantee that they will achieve their investment objecLves or that Clients will receive a return on or return of their investment. Although money market funds are considered low risk, they are affected by other types of risk, mainly interest- rate risk and inflaLon risk. The underlying value of the instruments within the money market fund may change depending on the direcLon of interest rates. Deriva’ves Risk DerivaLves, such as opLons, futures and swaps, can be volaLle, and a small investment in a derivaLve can have a large impact on the performance of the porQolio. Other risks of investments in derivaLves include imperfect correlaLon between the value of these instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivaLve transacLons; risks that the transacLons may result in losses that parLally or completely offset gains in porQolio posiLons; and risks that the derivaLve transacLons may not be liquid. No Guarantee The value of a Client investment could decline and be worth less than the principal iniLally invested. And while a money market fund seeks a stable share price, its yield fluctuates. In addiLon, mutual funds are not insured or guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Bond funds, unlike purchasing a bond directly, will not re-pay the principal at a set point in Lme. Risks Performance could be impacted by a number of different market risks including but not limited to: Foreign Risk Foreign investments are subject to the same risks as domesLc investments and addiLonal risks, including internaLonal trade, currency, poliLcal, regulatory and diplomaLc risks, which may affect their value. Also, foreign securiLes are subject to the risk that their market price may not reflect the issuer’s condiLon because there is not sufficient publicly available informaLon about the issuer. Loss of Capital All of our programs are subject to general market risk. Any investment in the securiLes is subject to risk of loss of capital. The value of the porQolio will 39 of 62 could adversely affect the investment performance of the parLcipant’s account. Leverage Risk Certain transacLons, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, loans of porQolio securiLes, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transacLons, may give rise to leverage, causing a porQolio to be more volaLle than if it had not been leveraged. The level of exposure to any of the foregoing risks will depend on the extent to which BCI or any third-party or fund manager invests in specific securiLes or uLlizes specific investment strategies that pose such risks. Liquidity Risk Certain securiLes eligible for investment by the porQolio may be deemed to be illiquid under applicable law. During periods of market turbulence or unusually low trading acLvity, in order to meet redempLons, it may be necessary for the porQolio to sell such securiLes at prices that could impact porQolio value. that Clients are considering Alterna:ve Investments AlternaLve investments, such as Private Equity Funds, non-traded Real Estate Investment Funds, Hedge Funds, and typically any security or investment that is not traded and priced on a daily basis, are speculaLve and involve substanLal risks.

Mutual Fund Transac0on Fees In the Core Asset Manager, DesLnaLons ETFh, and Wealth Advisory programs, we have the choice of using either non-transacLon fee (“NTF”) funds or transacLon fee funds. While transacLon fee funds generally have a lower expense raLo to the Client than an NTF fund, the clearing and custody costs paid by us are higher for transacLon fee funds than for NTF funds. For Clients with fee schedules in effect prior to April 1, 2017, this may create a conflict by giving us the incenLve to select NTF funds in order to reduce the clearing and custody fees for Client accounts, instead of selecLng transacLon fee funds that may have a lower expense raLo to the Client. In order to address this potenLal conflict, we pay the custodian an asset-based fee for clearing and custody, which we into account when took establishing its prior fee schedule(s) for these programs.

As such, an Investment Advisor may have a reducLon in their costs to uLlize our Technology Affiliates’ services based on their Clients’ collecLve assets under management within our advisory programs. This creates a conflict for these Investment Advisors because the more assets that they recommend be invested in our advisory programs, the lower their cost is to receive the services of our Technology Affiliates.

This program is voluntary for Strategists. This program creates a conflict of interest for us as we are encouraged to prefer and retain Strategists who agree to purchase such data.

DPL Financial Partners DPL Financial Partners (“DPL”) is a financial service provider that coordinates the provision, either directly or through its associated and licensed broker-dealer, of certain insurance products, including annuiLes. DPL supports such acLviLes through the use of a web-based plaQorm and certain associated Product Tools (collecLvely, the “DPL PlaQorm”), as well as through relaLonships that DPL has established with certain insurance carriers that offer Insurance Products. DPL offers the use of its insurance services through a membership program. DPL is unaffiliated with us or any of our affiliates. Custodian Conflicts For a discussion of the potenLal conflict of interest that could arise from the economic benefits we receive from NFS and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) in the form of the support products and services these firms make available to us, see Item 12 – Brokerage PracLces of this Brochure. We have adopted and implemented policies and procedures we believe are reasonably designed to manage these conflicts of interest and to prevent violaLons of applicable law. into an Our affiliate, Orion Tech, has entered arrangement where DPL will share a porLon of the membership fee paid to it by any investment advisor referred to DPL by Orion Tech. DPL will also pay a technology support fee to Orion Tech for its efforts in supporLng the integraLon with the DPL PlaQorm. We do not receive any porLon of these fees. There is a conflict as the Client’s third party investment advisor which uses our advisory services described in this Brochure may also use the technology services of Orion Tech, and Orion Tech may receive revenue from DPL if the Client’s investment advisor was referred to DPL by Orion Tech and became a member of DPL. such Neither we nor Orion Tech, nor any of our affiliates, is involved in the solicitaLon or sales of the insurance products through the DPL PlaQorm. IntegraLon Systems (“CAIS”), Third Party Technology Services Arrangements We uLlize the investment advisor technology plaQorm created by our affiliate, Orion Tech. This plaQorm is available to other, unaffiliated investment advisors and features integrated third-party services available through unaffiliated financial technology providers, creaLng integrated services available to users of Orion Tech (including us). Through Orion Tech’s arrangements with third party technology providers, Orion Tech receives revenue based on the usage of the third-party service through its plaQorm. While such third-party services are typically integrated into the Orion Tech technology experience for ease of use, users of Orion Tech’s technology services are not prevented from choosing alternaLve providers. Nevertheless, the inclusion of Capital Integra:on Systems Capital itself and through its subsidiaries, offers a plaQorm for the purchase of private placements and other non- traded assets. CAIS is unaffiliated with us or any of 45 of 62 or BCI PlaQorms, will have access to UpLq’s financial insLtuLon partners that offer the lending- and deposit-related products listed below (collecLvely, the “Financial Products”). In each case, access to the Financial Products is made available to a financial advisor so that the financial advisor may idenLfy one or more selected banking insLtuLons that can offer to the Client certain Financial Products desired by the Client. Such Financial Products currently consist of the following: • Mortgage Loans — Loans relaLng to residenLal purchases, refinancing, HELOC, and construcLon loans; our affiliates. Our affiliate, Orion Tech, has entered into an arrangement where CAIS will pay Orion Tech a fee based on the value of the assets held by Clients of investment advisors who uLlize Orion Tech’s technology, including OPS or BCI PlaQorm Clients. Orion Tech will receive no fee unLl the value of such assets exceeds $100 million, and the size of the fee will increase unLl the value of such assets exceeds $500 million, at which Lme the fee will not increase. However, as the fee is based on the value of the assets on the plaQorm, the amount of revenue received by Orion Tech will increase as the value of such assets (either by market gain or addiLonal sales) will increase. We do not receive any porLon of this fee. • Working Capital — Corporate, commercial, and business working capital, expansion and acquisiLon lines of credit and loans; • Commercial Real Estate — Commercial real estate, mulLfamily and other owned occupied properLes; • SecuriLes Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOC) — Automated and highly compeLLvely priced non-purpose securiLes backed lines along with lines secured by selecLve private and alternaLve investments; • Specialty Lending — Premium financing, fund call and operaLng lines of credit, along with others; • Watercram and Aircram Lending — New and used watercram and/or aircram purchases and refinancing; and A Client’s Investment Advisor which uses our advisory services described in this Brochure may also use the technology services of Orion Tech, and may recommend that Clients allocate a porLon of their assets to one or more offerings available on the CAIS plaQorm. In addiLon, if Clients engage our Wealth Advisory service, we may recommend that Clients allocate a porLon of Client assets to one or more offerings available on the CAIS plaQorm. This creates a conflict for us as Orion Tech may receive revenue from CAIS if Clients invest in any offering on the CAIS plaQorm through their investment advisor or our Wealth Advisory plaQorm. This revenue to Orion Tech is in addiLon to the advisory fee we receive for the Wealth Advisory services provided to the Client described in Item 4 – Advisory Business and Item 5 – Fees and CompensaLon of this Brochure. • FDIC Insured Deposit Program — In-porQolio cash balances, held away debit/transacLonal cash and outside client cash savings with $2 to $100 million of insurance per tax ID.

Nevertheless, as more fully detailed below, we do realize certain benefits and services in connecLon with custodial partners that we work with to service Client accounts. Brokerage for Client Referrals Neither we nor any of our related persons receive Client referrals from broker-dealers or third parLes in exchange for selecLng or recommending a broker- dealer. Directed Brokerage Generally, our Core Asset Manager and Wealth Advisory programs require Clients to designate either NaLonal Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) or Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), each of which is a FINRA-registered broker-dealer, as their custodian and clearing broker, and authorize us to submit all equity trades through the designated custodian unless the Strategist (as applicable) determine that beler execuLon may be obtained through an alternaLve broker. All fixed income transacLons are executed at brokers other than the designated custodian (unless a Strategist determines the custodian can provide best execuLon) and managers have authority to select brokers who will effect such trades. To parLcipate in our Strategist Program, Separately Managed Account Program, High Net Worth Programs, Core Asset Manager Program, and ETF and Mutual Fund PorQolios described in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure, we require that Client Accounts be held with a qualified custodian. We submit trades directly to the Client’s custodian. If Clients direct us to manage assets with a specific broker-dealer or custodian, including broker-dealers and custodians that have been pre-approved by us, Clients have the sole responsibility for negoLaLng commission rates and other transacLon costs. If Clients select a specific broker, we will not be required to affect any transacLon through the specified broker if we reasonably believe that to do so would result in a breach of our fiduciary duLes. Clients are advised that by instrucLng us to submit all transacLons on behalf of a Client’s Account for execuLon at the specified broker, a disparity may exist between the commissions borne by the Client and the commissions borne by our other Clients that do not direct us to use a specified broker. Clients may also not necessarily obtain commission rates and execuLon as favorable as those that would be obtained if we were able to place transacLons with forego other broker-dealers. Clients also may benefits that we may be able to obtain for them through negoLaLng volume discounts or block trades. As discussed in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcLviLes and AffiliaLons of this Brochure, ConstellaLon Trust Company (“CTC”) is our affiliate. Clients are under no obligaLon to select CTC as their custodian, and Clients are free to select any of the custodians we are able to work with. In evaluaLng which broker or dealer other than the designated custodian will provide best execuLon, Strategist (as applicable) will consider the full range and quality of a broker’s or dealer’s services including, among other things, the value of research provided, execuLon capability, commission rate, financial responsibility, market making capabiliLes and responsiveness. Although we currently do not receive any som dollar benefits, we may in the future select broker-dealers that provide research or other transacLon-related services and may cause the account to pay such broker-dealer commissions for effecLng transacLons in excess of commissions other Research and Other SoM Dollar Benefits We, as a maler of policy and pracLce, do not uLlize research or other products or services other than execuLon from broker-dealers or third parLes in connecLon with Client securiLes transacLons and do not receive so-called "som dollar" benefits from 50 of 62 it determines that the designated custodian cannot provide best execuLon. However, Clients will be charged any brokerage commissions or fees arising in connecLon with trades that are not affected through the designated custodian for their account. broker-dealers may have charged. In such event, we will revise this Brochure to discuss any som dollar benefits it receives. Such research and other services may be used for our own accounts and for other Client and affiliated Client accounts to the extent permiled by law. Both NFS’s and Schwab’s execuLon procedures are designed to make every alempt to obtain the best execuLon possible, although there can be no assurance that it can be obtained. Clients should consider whether or not the appointment of NFS or Schwab, as applicable, as the sole broker for equity trades may or may not result in certain costs or disadvantages to the Client as a possible result of less favorable execuLons. ExecuLon through a broker other than the designated custodian will increase costs to the Client because our fee does not include brokerage fees or commissions associated with trades executed through a broker-dealer other than the designated custodian and does not include markups and markdowns. Because of this, in order to minimize Client trading costs, most trades for Client accounts are executed through the designated custodian. While we require Clients to use NFS or Schwab as their custodian and broker for any account in the Core Asset Manager and Wealth Advisory programs, Clients will decide whether to do so and open an account with NFS or Schwab (as applicable) by entering into an account agreement directly with such firm. We do not open the account for the Client. Generally, if Clients do not wish to place their assets with NFS or Schwab, then we cannot manage the Client’s Account. From Lme to Lme, and at our sole discreLon, very large accounts parLcipaLng in the Core Asset Manager program may use a firm other than NFS or Schwab as their custodian. Not all advisors require their Clients to use a parLcular broker-dealer or other custodian selected by the advisor. Even though Client Accounts are maintained at NFS or Schwab, we and Strategists retained by us to manage Client Accounts can sLll use other brokers to execute trades for their account, as described in the preceding paragraphs. How We Select Brokers/Custodians In selecLng a custodian and clearing broker, we seek to obtain custody and brokerage services on terms that are overall most advantageous when compared to other available providers and their services. We consider a wide range of factors, including, among others: • transacLon execuLon • • to • breadth of combinaLon of services and asset custody services; capability to execute, clear and selle trades (buy and sell securiLes for Client accounts); transfers and facilitate capability payments to and from accounts (wire transfers, check requests, bill payment, etc.); investment products made available (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, etc.); Inasmuch as the investment advisory agreement for the Core Asset Manager and Wealth Advisory programs designates NFS or Schwab as the Client's custodian and clearing broker, Strategists generally lack authority to select broker-dealers to execute trades in equity securiLes in the Client's account. Accordingly, Strategists are not authorized to negoLate commissions and their account may not be able to parLcipate in block trades effected by a Strategist for its other accounts. As a result, from Lme to Lme Client accounts may not obtain best execuLon on a parLcular trade. However, on a case- by-case basis, we will authorize a Strategist for a Wealth Advisory or Core Asset Manager account to effect trades of equity securiLes through another broker-dealer, if we or the Strategist determine that the designated custodian cannot provide best execuLon for the account. Similarly, we may effect trades for accounts through another broker-dealer if 51 of 62 • overall quality of services; • Program Manager may find that placing trades with the custodian is omen the most favorable trading opLon for a Client. • compeLLveness of the price of those services (which impacts what BCI charges its Clients); reputaLon, financial strength and stability of the provider; and • availability of other products and services that benefit BCI, its Clients and solicitor firms. For the SMA Program, we expect that most transacLons will be traded through the custodian. However, certain SMA Program Managers will direct most, if not all, of their trades to outside broker- dealers, including broker-dealers who are affiliates of the SMA Program Managers. Since the fees paid to the custodian for their clearing and custody services only cover transacLons effected through the custodian, transacLons through any other broker- dealer would normally include an add-on cost of the commission or the dealer mark-up or mark-down and these addiLonal trading costs may increase a Client’s overall costs. capabiliLes, speed, We take into account the fact that transacLon costs on trades effected through brokers other than the designated custodian are not included in the SMA Program fee in evaluaLng whether the designated custodian is providing best execuLon. The fees charged through the SMA Program will not necessarily be as favorable as those which might be obtained through another investment advisor that authorizes a SMA Program Manager to select brokerage firms and that bills the Client separately for execuLon, clearing and custody services, and investment advisory services. Inc. insLtuLonal brokerage Custody and Brokerage Costs SMA Program Managers have the authority to effect transacLons through broker-dealers other than the custodian for the Client account, including a broker- dealer which is an affiliate of such SMA Program Manager, when the SMA Program Manager reasonably believes that another broker-dealer may effect such transacLons at a price, including any commissions or dealer mark-up or mark-down, that is more favorable to the account than would be the case if transacted through the custodian. In addiLon, even if the price is not more favorable, for the selecLon of such broker-dealer, the SMA Program Manager may consider all relevant factors, including efficiency, execuLon confidenLality, familiarity with potenLal purchasers or sellers, or any other relevant malers. We refer to trades in which the custodian is not the execuLng broker as “step-out trade(s).” If the Client’s SMA Program Manager trades with another firm, the account may be assessed other trading related costs (mark-ups, mark-downs and commissions) by the other broker-dealer. In addiLon, the custodian charges the Client a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that the SMA Program Manager has executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securiLes bought or the funds from the securiLes sold are deposited (selled) into the Client’s account. These fees are in addiLon to the commissions or other compensaLon Clients pay the execuLng broker-dealer. The costs of the execuLng broker and any trade away fees imposed by the custodian are in addiLon to our and the SMA Program Manager fees. For this reason, an SMA Products and Services Available to Us from NFS and Schwab NaLonal Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) and Charles Schwab & Co., (“Schwab”) provide us, Investment Advisors, and their Clients with access to their trading, custody, reporLng and related services, many of which are not typically available to their retail customers. These firms also make available various support services to us, Clients, and the Client’s advisor. Some of those services help us manage or administer the Client’s accounts at such custodians while others help us manage and grow our business. These support services generally are available on an unsolicited 52 of 62 basis (i.e., we do not have to request them) and at no addiLonal charge to us. the most we receive rather than the Client's best interest in receiving favorable execuLon of transacLons, which is a potenLal conflict of interest. We believe, however, that the selecLon of these firms as custodian and broker is in the Client's best interest. It is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of their services (based upon the factors discussed above) and not on those services that benefit only us. The NFS and Schwab insLtuLonal brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execuLon of securiLes transacLons, and custody of Client assets. The investment products available through these firms include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that would require a significantly higher minimum iniLal investment by Clients. The services generally benefit Clients. Aggrega<on With respect to those Client accounts which we directly select and / or manage investments, most trade orders will be aggregated when we are purchasing or selling the same security for mulLple clients in our various advisory programs. The porQolio specialist or other authorized person will determine when orders should be aggregated. NFS and Schwab also make available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit the Client. These products and services assist us in managing and administering Client accounts and include somware and other technology that: • submission investment criteria, • • provide access to Client account data (such as duplicate trade confirmaLons and account statements); facilitate OPS’s for trade execuLon by NFS and Schwab and allocate aggregated trade orders for mulLple Client accounts; facilitate payment of our fees from Client accounts; and with • assist back-office funcLons, recordkeeping, and client reporLng. NFS and Schwab also offer other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business. These services include: • educaLonal conferences and events; • While the goal of aggregaLon is to achieve equitable allocaLon of investment opportuniLes and trades, each Client cannot be treated exactly alike, and all allocaLons cannot be done on the basis of a pre- determined formula. There are differences in each Client’s needs, investment objecLves, and size and fee levels. To the extent more than one Client seeks to acquire the same security at the same Lme, it may not be possible to acquire a sufficiently large quanLty of the same security, or we may have to pay a higher price or obtain a lower yield for the security. Similarly, Clients may not be able to obtain as high a price for, or as large an execuLon of, an order to sell (including short sales) a parLcular security when we are acLng for more than one Client at the same Lme. It also may not be feasible to make every limited investment opportunity available to all Clients. technology, compliance, legal, and business consulLng; and • publicaLons and conferences on pracLce management and business succession. It is our standard pracLce to invest Client funds into the model or strategy selected for their account the day amer the funds are received, unless the Client or their Investment Advisor instruct us otherwise. With respect to those Client Accounts which are managed by an unaffiliated Strategist, aggregaLon of trade orders, if any, are allocated to Client accounts The availability of these services from NFS and Schwab benefits us because we do not have to produce or purchase them. This may create an incenLve for us to require Clients to maintain their accounts with NFS or Schwab based on the benefits 53 of 62 in accordance with the unaffiliated Strategist's procedures for aggregaLon. We require all Strategists in the programs to have policies and procedures to assure equitable allocaLon of trades among all of the Strategist's plaQorm Client accounts, including BCI and OPS PlaQorm Clients. our trading pracLces, gathering relevant informaLon, periodically reviewing and evaluaLng the services provided by broker-dealers, the quality of execuLons, research, commission rates, and overall brokerage relaLonships, among other things. The commilee is comprised of representaLves from porQolio management, trading, and compliance. the broker-dealer’s Best Execu<on To the extent that we are responsible for selecLng the broker-dealer to effect transacLons for the Client’s account, we seek to achieve best execuLon for Client transacLons such that the net proceeds to the Client and the overall qualitaLve execuLon are the most favorable under the circumstances. In selecLng a broker-dealer, we consider the full range and quality of the services offered by the broker- dealer, including, but not limited to, execuLon capabiliLes, the commission rate charged, the value of research provided, the ability to obtain volume discounts, financial responsibility, and their responsiveness to us and the Client. Please see Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other CompensaLon of this Brochure for informaLon regarding services and benefits we may receive from other broker dealers. Trade Error Policy We have internal controls for the prevenLon of trade or model porQolio allocaLon errors. However, on occasion, errors may occur. We recommend that Clients regularly review their custodial statements. In the event a Client idenLfies an error, the Client has 45 days from their statement date to noLfy us of its existence. Upon noLficaLon, we will perform an analysis of the reported discrepancy. If we are responsible for the error, we will seek to correct the error in a way that returns the Client’s account to where it would have been had the error not occurred. In the event an error results in a gain, we or the Client’s custodian will retain such gains. If Clients noLfy us of a potenLal error more than 45 days amer their statement date and we are responsible for the error, we will reimburse the Client for any damage caused to their account from the date of the error through 45 days amer the Client’s statement date. We maintain a record of idenLfied errors, including details of the original transacLon and the correcLve acLons. We have an Investment Commilee that meets on a quarterly basis and handles our best execuLon review through their oversight of our trade execuLon pracLces and to evaluate the full range and quality of broker-dealers used to execute transacLons in order to ensure our trading pracLces are appropriate. The Investment Commilee is responsible for monitoring 54 of 62 Item 13 – Review of Accounts between the Client and their Investment Advisor. Our services will be limited to managing Client accounts in the manner idenLfied by the Client to us, which will include trading, billing, and reporLng, as those services are idenLfied in the agreement between the Client and us. investments upon strategy. Solicitor Arrangements For our BCI PlaQorm, if a Client is introduced to us by a solicitor Investment Advisor, we will recommend an asset allocaLon involving various asset classificaLons and investment styles and will idenLfy for the Client suitable Strategists or other to implement the investment disciplines included in the agreed Our investment recommendaLons will be based on informaLon provided by the Client and the Client’s Investment Advisor to us regarding the Client’s objecLves, assets, risk tolerance, Lme horizon, personal situaLon and investment experience. Affiliate Technology Reviews of Client Accounts are facilitated through an arrangement with our affiliate, Orion Tech (see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcLviLes and AffiliaLons of this Brochure). We have engaged Orion Tech to provide a “back office” system which enables us to gather and aggregate Client data from mulLple plaQorms and providers, maintain porQolio models, review models and accounts for variances, analyze account performance, generate quarterly and other reports, facilitate the trading of the Clients accounts, and make informaLon available on-line via the internet, in a secure manner, to the Client and their Investment Advisor. Thereamer, we monitor the performance of each Strategy. The Investment Advisor who introduced the Client to us has agreed to make periodic contact with the Client, in a manner consistent with Investment Advisor’s fiduciary obligaLons and applicable law. Together, the Client and their Investment Advisor determine whether a change in the Client objecLves warrants a change in the criteria used to manage the Client’s assets. If any informaLon changes, Clients are responsible for promptly advising us of any changes. If the informaLon is current, no further acLon is required. We provide Clients with wrilen quarterly reports on the performance of their total account compared to standard industry indices. Unaffiliated Advisors We do not review specific investments made by unaffiliated Strategists of separate accounts or funds. We do not rebalance or change the asset allocaLon in a Client’s non-discreLonary Core Asset Manager or Wealth Advisory account unless the Client requests us to review the agreed upon investment strategy. We do rebalance and acLvely change the asset allocaLon of certain discreLonary investment strategies referenced in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure, and other discreLonary accounts within the Wealth Advisory program as warranted. We do not change the investment strategy for an account unless the Client requests us to review the agreed upon investment strategy or the Client or their Investment Advisor instruct us to do so. Co-Advisory Arrangements For our BCI PlaQorm (if Clients engage us for advisory service via a co-advisory arrangement with an unaffiliated third-party Investment Advisor) and for our OPS PlaQorm, the Investment Advisor will recommend an asset allocaLon involving various asset classificaLons and investment styles and will idenLfy for the Client suitable Strategists or other investments to implement the investment disciplines included in the investment strategy agreed upon 55 of 62 Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other CompensaCon Referral Arrangements Certain unaffiliated Investment Advisors refer Clients to us through a solicitor arrangement. Details regarding the circumstances and compensaLon of these arrangements can be found in Item 4 – Advisory Business and Item 5 – Fees and CompensaLon of this Brochure, respecLvely. Educa<on Seminars We organize educaLonal seminars for Investment Advisors who recommend our investment programs to their Clients that may be sponsored or co- sponsored by various Strategists and mutual fund managers that parLcipate in our programs. PorQolio managers who parLcipate in this program pay a fee which is used to defray our expenses associated with in the such events. A Strategist's parLcipaLon program is voluntary. We do not consider a Strategist’s parLcipaLon in any of our programs in making manager recommendaLons to Clients.

If a Client imposes a reasonable investment restriction, we will notify the Client’s Investment Advisor if their selected strategy conflicts with such restrictions and the Investment Advisor is responsible for recommending an alternative strategy.1 Clients can invest in multiple Strategist Models within a single custodial account, where each Strategist Model allocation is assigned to a unique subaccount or “sleeve”.

In addition, we address these conflicts of interest by disclosing receipt of such fees and our arrangement with such Strategists in this Brochure. Furthermore, Investment Advisors, which are not affiliated with OPS, are responsible for working with Clients to select the most appropriate Strategist. Investment Advisors are able to utilize any Strategist made available as part of the Strategist Program. is suitable for invested to Investment Advisor We are not engaged by Clients to provide investment recommendations in the Strategist Program.

Core Asset Manager Program BCI’s Core Asset Manager program represents a managed account platform that features privately placed or publicly traded pooled investment vehicles (such as hedge funds, mutual funds, ETFs, real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships). In this program, we provide both discretionary management and non-discretionary management services. Discretionary Clients authorize us to hire and fire investment managers and make asset allocation changes. Nondiscretionary Clients must approve our Strategist and product recommendations before the recommendations are implemented. The discretionary offerings within the Core Asset Manager Program include: Core Guided Portfolios Clients and their Investment Advisors will choose an SMA Program Manager based on the Client’s risk profile and investment objective(s), and the SMA Program Manager (including, when applicable, OPS) will manage the Client’s account accordingly using various investment options and strategies. A Client remains the owner of all securities held in its account with all associated ownership rights. In instances where affiliated investment managers, such as TownSquare Capital, LLC, serve as SMA Program Managers, our affiliate is compensated for managing the account, which creates a potential conflict of interest whereby we, or our affiliates, earn additional compensation.] Clients in the SMA Program are subject to the OPS Terms and Conditions and depending on the SMA Program Manager selected, may be subject to additional terms and conditions that are required by such SMA Program Manager (“Additional Agreement”). to Investment Advisors and their Clients have the ability from various select discretionary asset allocation models managed by us for both taxable and nontaxable accounts that utilize separate account managers, mutual funds, and exchange traded funds to implement different risk tolerance-based portfolios.

Brinker Blended Portfolios Program Our Brinker Blended Portfolio Program is a risk- based asset allocation discretionary account program managed by us that is offered using a combination of our proprietary Destinations Funds (our Affiliated Funds) and other unaffiliated investments options (non-affiliated mutual funds and ETFs). We have full Discretion to select the Affiliated Funds and Non-Affiliated Mutual Funds and ETFs in this program, and the proportion of the model allocated to each fund selected by us. ETF and Mutual Fund Portfolios Capital Group ETF Strategies Program We offer discretionary portfolios which invest primarily in Capital Group ETFs in a diversified, multi-asset framework, according to the Client’s investment objectives. At our discretion, we may include an allocation of up to 20% to non-Capital Group ETFs in these portfolios to supplement the asset class exposures available through Capital Group ETFs. Destinations Program BCI’s Destinations program is a discretionary asset allocation program managed by us that uses mutual funds, including our Destinations Funds (described below), and/or ETFs to implement a variety of investment strategies with different risk and reward characteristics. In our Destinations program, we offer a variety of asset allocation strategies, each targeting a specific investment objective, for both taxable and tax-exempt accounts. The strategies provide different balances of risk and reward and the appropriate strategy may be chosen based on the Client’s risk tolerance and time horizon. The strategies are designed to offer competitive performance while seeking to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns over the long term. Focused Strategies Program We offer “Focused Strategies” consisting of model portfolios managed by us and targeting specific asset classes – domestic equity, international equity, fixed income, global credit, real assets and alternative investments – available to Clients as a component of their overall asset allocation or as a complementary investment allocation. There is no minimum investment for a Focused Strategy. We monitor the performance of each underlying investment manager (either a sub-advisor within the Destinations Funds or a third-party fund) and replace or reallocate assets among the funds or underlying managers used to implement these strategies based on factors we deem appropriate. These factors can include our evaluation of historical performance, market conditions, and our investment outlook. Our Destinations program is offered through different suites of asset allocation models, the primary difference in each suite being the type of investment vehicles utilized. Destinations ETFh Program The “Destinations ETFh” program offers risk-based asset allocation models comprised of ETFs and unaffiliated third-party mutual funds. Core Plus ETF Strategy Program Our discretionary “Core Plus ETF Strategy Program” invests a Client’s assets primarily among ETFs in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objectives. The strategy is focused on total return and allocates to core asset class ETFs, as well as targeted exposures to ETFs in diversifying asset classes. The Destinations Funds and the Destinations ETFh programs are both available directly from us 12 of 47 Brinker Capital ESG Portfolios We offer ESG Portfolios that use, in accordance with the Client’s objectives, mutual funds, ETFs, and/or other products that invest in securities deemed to possess favorable environmental, social, and governance (ESG) characteristics. We use the Morningstar Sustainability Rating scale (referred to as “globes”), which scores securities based on ESG characteristics on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being highest score. The strategy generally invests in exchange traded products within Category Four or Five, though Category Three may be included. If a holding is reassigned to Category Two or One, it will be reviewed by the strategy managers for removal from the strategy. The portfolios are built in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objectives. invested primarily enrolls in this strategy, the Client can designate a specific amount of assets needed to satisfy short- term income needs. These assets will be invested in a low-risk reserve portfolio that will seek to generate returns in excess of the average money market fund with risk less than or equal to low duration investment bonds. We recommend one to two years' worth of withdrawals; however, the strategy allows the Client to specify a desired amount. If the Client elects systematic withdrawals on their account, assets will also be set aside in a low-risk cash account for those immediate, systematic withdrawals. The remainder of the Client’s account will be set aside in a long- term portfolio invested primarily in income or interest- generating investments. The long-term portfolio will be in ETFs. Assets designated for this portfolio will seek to provide long-term growth and a steady stream of income. Digital Assets Portfolio Program We offer a Digital Assets Strategy that invests in exchange traded products to provide flexible and balanced exposure to the digital asset ecosystem. The portfolio will be allocated to 1) companies involved with cryptocurrency or digitalization of the economy and 2) cryptocurrencies, with the allocation between these two categories varying based on the managers’ view of the risk and potential rewards. Companies must derive at least 50% of revenue from digital asset projects, partner or invest in such firms, or have a crypto segment that is an important segment of the company. Active Income Strategy Program Our Active Income Strategy is designed for Clients who prefer an active strategy that seeks a specific percentage yield by investing in income-producing securities. When selecting the strategy, the Client will select the percentage yield to be targeted for the Client’s account. The strategy invests in ETFs and Closed-End Funds (“CEFs”) that specialize in income-producing assets. In addition to traditional dividend-oriented equities and investment grade bonds, the strategy generates income using non- traditional asset classes, such as master limited partnerships, real estate, convertibles, senior bank loans, high-yield bonds, and international debt. The portfolios are built in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objectives.

Additional Wealth Advisory Services As part of the services offered to Clients in our Wealth Advisory program, we have approved to provide certain specialized services. Currently, these providers and services are: Customized Wealth Advisory Services From time to time, we develop a customized investment strategy for a Client in our Wealth Advisory Program. Fees for such services are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. We also develop new investment management strategies on a test basis with funds provided by us, our employees, their family members, and a limited number of Clients before such management strategies are made available generally. Philanthropic Services Fidelity Charitable and UI Charitable Advisors are independent, section 501(c)(3) public charities that administer donor-advised funds. Through their Charitable Investment Advisor Programs, we will actively manage the charitable assets contributed by Clients.

Using these loan facilities, Clients can pledge their investment account(s) as collateral to meet many of their financing needs, with the exception of purchasing securities. TriState Capital charges an interest rate for these services and we do not receive any direct or indirect revenue from TriState Capital.

(“Comerica”) offer trust services, including but not limited to Personal, Revocable, Irrevocable, Charitable, & Special Needs Trusts.

Business Valuation BizEquity LLC provides business valuation analysis for our business owner Clients. BizEquity charges Account Management Trading When we are granted Full Discretion or Limited Trading Authority for Client accounts, trading will occur through the brokerage account(s) Clients establish with a custodian. Strategists will provide us with instructions to rebalance or reallocate the Strategist Models depending on their asset investment manager allocation philosophy or selection process. These adjustments to the asset allocations will result in transactions in a Client’s account. For OPS Platform Clients, a minimum amount of five dollars per security is required on contributions and rebalance trades. There is no such limitation for BCI Platform Clients). All Strategist Model allocations contain a minimum allocation to cash. For distributions, positions are redeemed pro-rata unless otherwise specified. The last trade file submission will be sent to the custodian at or around 3 pm Eastern time. The Client or their Investment Advisor instruct OPS that a Client’s account will be invested in accordance with the Strategist Model as indicated on the New Investment Direction Application Addendum, Addendum, or other relevant OPS form and/or reassignment process. If the Strategist Model changes, OPS will rebalance a Client’s account to align it with the selected Strategist Model. Clients or their Investment Advisor may instruct OPS to terminate the use of the Strategist Models at any 14 of 47 time. Clients will receive notification of all transactions in their account(a) in the form of an account statement provided by the custodian. investment reasonably modify such restrictions from time to time. Any restrictions placed on the management of the Client account or particular requirements of an account may cause us or a third-party Strategist to deviate from investment decisions we or the third-party Strategist would otherwise make in recommending an strategy or managing the account. We or the Strategist may, at our sole discretion, determine that a Client’s Exclusion or Restriction is not reasonable given the circumstances. In such instances the Client will not be able to invest in the identified model or Strategy and must select an alternative. When a Client restricts a category of securities that may be purchased for the account, we or the third- party Strategist will determine, in our respective sole discretion, the specific securities in that category. Any restrictions a Client imposes on individual securities that may be purchased for the account shall apply only to individual stocks within separately managed portfolios. Wrap Fee Program, Transaction Fees, and Other Expenses Under the wrap fee programs, investment advice and costs of trade executions are provided to Clients for an all-inclusive wrap fee. This means that under wrap fee programs, we pay the trading costs out of the advisory fee that we receive from Clients. Clients can consult their investment advisory agreement to determine whether the strategies selected are part of our wrap fee program. For Strategist Program and Core Select strategies that invest in mutual funds, the custodians utilized by us charge us an asset-based fee when Clients invest in certain share classes. These share classes are known as transaction fee (“TF”) mutual funds. Absent the asset-based fee paid by us, Clients would be charged a transaction fee typically ranging from $25 to $75 for each purchase of shares of a TF mutual fund. Because we are charged a fee for using certain share classes, we have a conflict when determining which share class to utilize in Core Asset Manager or the Strategist Program. To mitigate this conflict, it is our policy is to use the lowest cost share class that is available at all custodians where the strategy is available (regardless of whether we have to pay an asset- based fee to the custodian). When selecting mutual funds and mutual fund share classes, we will not utilize mutual funds or mutual fund share classes that have short term redemption fees or investment requirements. For any minimum mutual fund used in a strategy, it is possible that certain custodians may make available lowest cost share classes than the share classes used by us because we use the lowest cost share class available at all custodians that we use. If a Client invested in the same mutual fund directly at their custodian or used an advisory program from another advisor, such Client may be eligible for a lower cost share class. However, because some of the lower cost share classes are TF mutual funds, it is possible that the Client would incur transaction fees. Client Exclusions and Restrictions For all of our programs, Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their account, including the designation of specific securities or a specific category of securities that should not be purchased for their account or that should be sold if held in the account, and may Trading activity is influenced by the frequency of rebalances, contributions and withdrawals. The more infrequent the trading activity (determined by fund changes and rebalances and Client additions and withdrawals) and the larger the size of the account, the more likely that an asset-based fee will be more costly than a separate transaction is dictated by charge. Since trading activity multiple factors, including changes in funds in a Client Destinations ETFh portfolio (e.g., because of 15 of 47 changes in our performance evaluations, managers, funds closing to new investment, etc.), and the frequency of deposits and distributions (which are driven by Clients), it may be difficult to predict the level of trading activity in any year (and thus, whether the asset-based fee would be more or less costly than a separate transaction charge). allocate Client accounts to a mutual fund for which we or an affiliate of us serves as the investment advisor (such as the Destinations Funds), any advisory fees paid to us or our affiliate with respect to a Client investment in such fund are credited to, or offset and reduce, dollar-for-dollar the advisory fee otherwise payable to us under the Clients investment advisory agreement. fund’s investment management Technology We offer our services through a technology platform known as “Advisor Portal.” Advisor Portal is a technology platform that was developed by our affiliate, Orion Advisor Technology, LLC (“Orion Tech”) and allows for proposal generation, account opening, trading, reporting, and billing from one dashboard. Fee Summary The following tables outline the fees for services we offer under our various programs as outlined above. Our fee is in addition to the operating expenses of the funds included in Client accounts, which are expressed as the fund’s “expense ratio”. A fund expense ratio represents the percentage of the fund’s assets used to operate the fund and reflects the fee, administrative costs, brokerage costs, distribution fees, and other operating expenses. Although these expenses are paid by the fund, Clients indirectly bear their pro rata share of such costs. Clients should consider both our fee and the internal expense ratios of the funds included in the program (which are set forth in the prospectus for the fund) when deciding whether each Destinations program may be more or less costly than another investment program.

Fees are negotiable between us and the Client. In addition to the fees in this chart, Clients will be assessed a Strategist/Strategy fee and an Investment Advisor fee. The Investment Advisor fee is negotiated between a Client and their Investment Advisor and may represent either an advisory fee or a solicitor fee, depending on the Investment Advisor’s relationship with us. The Strategist/Strategy generally ranges from 0.00% to 0.50%. For Strategies where we are the Strategist, we may receive a Strategist/Strategy fee. The exact amount of the fee, and whether the fee will be paid to us, will be included in the Client’s new account paperwork.

The fee we collect will appear on the Client’s custodial statement, though the custodian does not determine whether the fee has been properly calculated. In addition, a fee summary is available to Clients through our website. Fees charged by us are separate and distinct from fees and expenses charged by a Client’s Investment Advisor, mutual funds or ETFs traded within the Strategist Models, or a Strategist providing a Strategist Model. A description of mutual fund or ETF fees and expenses are available in each fund’s prospectus. OPS uses the lowest cost share class that is available at all custodians where the strategy is available. Therefore, it is possible that a particular custodian may offer a lower cost share class, but it will not be used in the strategy because not all of the other custodians offer that share class for the strategy. Termination of Services and Termination Fees We can terminate our advisory services with a Client at any time by providing written notice. Likewise, a Client can terminate our services at any time by providing us with written notice. If a Client’s use of our services is terminated within (5) five business days from the date of inception, all fees paid by the Client in advance will be promptly refunded and no termination fee will be charged. Should a Client’s investment advisory agreement be terminated at any other time, the Client will receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees. Our services may be terminated by either party in accordance with their written agreement with us. Clients are responsible to pay for services rendered until the termination of the agreement. Other Fee Information The following sections outline important additional information relating to our fees. is The current Termination Fee is $75 per account for full outgoing distributions or non-ACAT transfers. The Termination Fee may be discounted for Client’s of Investment Advisors who have a significant amount of assets invested on our platform. Any discount individually negotiated with each Investment Advisor at our discretion. Additional account termination fees may be charged by the custodian. Fee Distribution We distribute a portion of the Brinker Fee Component to certain Financial Advisors who have significant assets invested in our platform or for other reasons, at our discretion. The amount of any distribution is individually negotiated with each Advisor. Any Brinker Fee Component distributed to an Advisor is retained by that Advisor and does not constitute a reduction in the Brinker Fee Component for a Client. immediately Upon termination, Clients should contact their custodian to ensure the Client Account is allocated according to Client wishes. Clients are responsible for paying for services rendered until the termination of the agreement. Fee Changes We may amend our fee schedule upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice. Because the other costs 18 of 47 of the account allocated to their proprietary products. Legacy Fee Schedules The fees outlined in this Brochure are current as of the date of the Brochure. Clients may be assessed fees based on Legacy Fee Schedules, which would be included in the paperwork completed at the time such Clients engaged us for advisory services, and any subsequent amendments thereto. Additionally, we have a conflict in that we are compensated based on the Strategist selected. This conflict is mitigated as Clients and their Investment Advisor, not us, are responsible for selecting the most suitable portfolio for Clients. We do not provide advice or recommendations regarding portfolio selections. Custodian Services Custodian services will be provided by a qualified custodian, including our affiliate, Constellation Trust Company (“CTC”). Please refer to Item 9 – Additional Information of this Brochure for more information on our affiliates, including CTC. Compensation Our portfolio manager personnel compensation includes an annual base salary and a discretionary bonus, which may be based on various factors including performance metrics and firm profitability. Our sales personnel receive compensation based on new assets subject to our services and are eligible for bonuses based on redemptions or terminations. These compensation structures create an incentive for our financial professionals to recommend that Clients increase the size of their assets managed by us (or not terminate), even when alternatives exist. Certain professionals have an equity interest in our parent company, GT Polaris Holdings, LP, which creates a general incentive for these professionals to grow firm revenue, including through asset growth and platform utilization. The investments in each Strategist Model for non- qualified accounts may be held in either a separate brokerage account or a UMA brokerage account with sleeves at the Client’s custodian. The custodian typically receives a shareholder servicing fee from the load-waived mutual funds held by the Client Accounts. Tailored Allocation Portfolios The unaffiliated Strategists whose mutual funds or ETFs are utilized within the Tailored Allocation Portfolios pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in the Tailored Allocation Portfolios program. Municipal Securities Portfolios & Individual ETF or Mutual Fund Holdings We offer two Custody and Clearing fee structures for actively managed municipal securities portfolios. Clients may elect to be charged a separate ticket charge on each trade in the account or an asset- based fee. The current ticket charge is $30.00 per trade for fixed income and mutual funds and $8 per trade for equities and ETF’s, which may be changed from time to time. No separate ticket charge is imposed on transactions when Clients have selected the asset-based fee, which utilizes the Core Fixed Income custody and clearing fee schedule. We have a conflict as we might be inclined to transition the Client’s assets into the Strategist’s proprietary products more quickly than the Client otherwise would. This is mitigated by a contractual understanding that the holdings in the account will be selected based on the desires and needs of the investor and any allocation and trading will be done based on the capital gains budgets and transition plans identified to us by the Investor or their Advisor. Further, the Strategists pay us based on the entire balance in the account, regardless of the proportion We offer two Custody and Clearing fee structures for individual ETF or mutual fund holdings in Core Asset Manager accounts. Clients may elect to be charged a separate ticket charge on each trade in the account 19 of 47 the following amounts from Strategist Fee Retention We retain the Strategists listed below in lieu of the Strategist Fee (for OPS) or Strategy Fee (for BCI) referenced above, regardless of Strategist Model type: Strategist or an asset-based fee. The current ticket charge is $8 per trade for ETFs and $30 per trade for mutual fund holdings (other than trades of non-transaction fee (NTF) mutual fund shares). The ETF and mutual fund per trade ticket charge may be changed from time to time. No separate ticket charge is imposed on transactions when Clients have elected the asset- based custody and clearing schedule, which utilizes the Core Equity custody and clearing fee schedule. American Funds Portion we retain 0.10% Fidelity Investments 0.05% Meeder 0.05% for larger accounts without Whether the per trade or the asset-based option is more suitable for a Client invested in actively managed municipal securities portfolios or individual ETFs or mutual funds will depend on the size of the account and the level of actual trading in the account. The per ticket charge will generally be more suitable regular distribution programs, where the added ticket charge will usually be less than the additional management fee, while the asset-based fee will generally be more suitable for smaller accounts or accounts that have above average transaction volume due to frequent additions or liquidations. The entire Strategist Fee charged by certain Strategists is retained by us. If this applies to the strategy Clients select, it will be disclosed in the Client’s Application Addendum or investment advisory agreement, as applicable. In addition, some Strategists select mutual funds for which they or their affiliate act as advisor when developing their Strategist Model. Certain of these Strategists share a portion of the fees they collect from mutual funds they manage with us. Below are the Strategists who share these fees with us: The Clearing and Custody Fee Schedule in effect from time to time is available to Clients on our website https://orion.com/wealth-management). • Advanced Asset Management Advisors • Focus Partners Advisor Solutions fka Buckingham Strategic Partners to deposit cash or other in • Horizon Investments • Meeder Investment Management • Toews Corporation • Ocean Park Asset Management • Clark Capital • iMGP Unsupervised Asset Fee As an accommodation to a Client, we may permit a Client securities their account or, (“Unsupervised Assets”) alternatively, at the Client’s discretion, in a separate account established with the custodian, for which we do not provide asset allocation, portfolio management, or performance monitoring services. Clients will be charged any clearing fees or transaction charges imposed by the custodian or brokerage firm in accordance with its fee schedule in effect from time to time, which fees and charges will be deducted from the Client’s account at the time of the transaction giving rise to the charge, or at such other time as determined by the custodian. All Strategists on our platform have the opportunity to pay us a fee for, among other services, marketing and support with respect to the Strategist Program. Some, but not all Strategist, pay us such a fee. These fee sharing arrangements vary and create a conflict of interest since we have an incentive to continue to recommend the Strategists who pay us such a fee for the Strategist Program. Additionally, Strategists may refer or recommend their clients to invest via our 20 of 47 platform. This arrangement creates an incentive for us to keep these Strategists over others that we may be considering. To mitigate these conflicts, our Investment Due Diligence Committee does not take into account when revenue sharing payments determining whether to retain Strategists. is The Strategist Fee may be discounted for Investment Advisors who have a significant amount of assets invested on our platform. The amount of the discount individually negotiated with each Investment Advisor at our discretion. Such programs may be initiated or discontinued at our discretion. Based on this, we offer some or all Clients of certain Investment Advisors discounted fees based on the amount of assets an individual Client or the Investment Advisor has with BCI, the efficiencies gained by managing multiple Clients for the same Investment Advisor, and our relationship with the Investment Advisor. As a result, Clients with similar assets may have differing fee schedules and pay different fees. Clients can request that related accounts be combined in order to meet fee break points and reduce the advisory fee charged. We reserve the right to waive or reduce the advisory fee for certain accounts such as employee accounts and personal accounts of Investment Advisors who refer business to us. Clients who negotiate a flat fee schedule may or may not pay a higher fee than those who pay under a tiered schedule, depending on asset levels. We offer a program where Strategists on our platform can purchase from us data containing aggregate information regarding the investment advisors who are researching or recommending their strategies or models. Additional information regarding this can be found Item 9 – Additional Information of this Brochure.

Since we endeavor at all times to put the interests of our Clients first as part of our fiduciary duty as a registered investment advisor, we take the following steps to address these conflicts: 1. We disclose to investors and prospective Clients the existence of material conflicts of interest, including the potential for our firm and its employees to earn more compensation from some Clients than others. We have implemented written policies and 2. procedures for fair and consistent allocation of investment opportunities among all Clients. significant performance We periodically compare holdings and 3. performance of all accounts with similar strategies to identify disparities indicative of possible favorable treatment. Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management We charge certain institutional endowment Clients a performance fee, which is based upon a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the assets of such Client. Performance-based fees will only be charged in accordance with the provisions of Rule 205-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”) and/or applicable state regulations. In addition, it is our policy not to retain any performance-based fees charged and to pass through any collected performance-based fees to investment research third parties that provide and/or advisory services to us in connection with our management of a Client’s account, as directed by the Client. In order for us to be eligible for a performance-based fee, the account’s performance must exceed a designated benchmark. If the account outperforms the designated benchmark, we receive a performance fee of up to 20% of the return in excess of the benchmark. The complete terms of our advisory fee are disclosed in the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Client and us. The performance fees charged by us may be higher than the performance fees charged by other investment advisors for the same or similar services. 4.

There are potential face by managing conflicts of performance-based accounts at the same time as managing asset based, non-performance based accounts. For example, the nature of a performance fee poses an opportunity for us to earn more compensation than under a stand-alone asset-based fee. Consequently, we may favor performance fee accounts over those accounts where we receive only an asset-based fee. One way we may favor performance fee accounts is that we could devote more time and attention to performance fee accounts than to accounts under an asset-based fee arrangement. Additionally, performance-based fees Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss In addition to the information below, see the response Item 4 – Services, Fees and Compensation of this Brochure for the methods of analysis, investment strategies, and risk involved in each of the services offered by us. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. 24 of 47 Our Methods of Analysis and Their Risks We may use one or more of the following methods of analysis or investment strategies when providing our services described in this Brochure: Risk: The risk of Quantitative Analysis arises from inaccurate assumptions or poor-quality data, leading to unreliable predictions. Additionally, overfitting occurs when models are too closely tailored to historical data, reducing their effectiveness for future predictions. Market changes can render models based on past data obsolete, as they may not account for sudden or unprecedented events information Charting Analysis Gathering and processing of price and volume pattern information for a particular security, sector, broad index or commodity. This price and volume pattern is analyzed. The resulting pattern and correlation data is used to detect from expected performance and departures diversification and predict future price movements and trends. Fundamental Analysis Analyzing individual companies and their industry groups, such as a company's financial statements, details regarding the company's product line, the experience and expertise of the company's management, and the outlook for the company and its industry. The resulting data is used to measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current market value. Risk: Our charting analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and day-to- day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. trends is that Risk: The risk of fundamental analysis information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance. Technical Analysis Studying past price patterns, and interrelationships in the financial markets to assess risk-adjusted performance and predict the direction of both the overall market and specific securities. price patterns and Cyclical Analysis A type of technical analysis that involves evaluating recurring trends. Economic/business cycles may not be predictable and may have many fluctuations between long-term expansions and contractions. is the difficulty Risk: The risk of market timing based on technical analysis is that our analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securities may reflect all information known about the security and day-to- day changes in market prices of securities may follow random patterns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. Risk: The lengths of economic cycles may be difficult to predict with accuracy and therefore the risk of cyclical analysis in predicting economic trends and consequently the changing value of securities that would be affected by these changing trends. Modern Portfolio Theory A theory of investment which attempts to maximize portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a Quantitative Analysis Using mathematical models, statistical techniques, and computational algorithms to analyze financial data. It involves examining data to identify patterns, trends, and correlations, building models to assess and mitigate risks, and selecting a mix of assets for portfolio management. 25 of 47 level of expected return, by carefully given diversifying the proportions of various assets. and sell them immediately, hoping to buy them later at a lower price. Thus, a short seller hopes that the price of a stock will go down in the near future. A short seller thus uses declines in the market to his advantage. The short seller makes money when the stock prices fall and loses when prices go up. The SEC has strict regulations in place regarding short selling. Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securities of the same general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated by diversification. Long-Term Purchases Securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year. Risk: Short selling is very risky. Investors should exercise extreme caution before short selling is implemented. A short seller will profit if the stock goes down in price, but if the price of the shares increase, the potential losses are unlimited because the stock can keep rising forever. There is no ceiling on how much a short seller can lose in a trade. The share price may keep going up and the short seller will have to pay whatever the prevailing stock price is to buy back the shares. However, gains have a ceiling level because the stock price cannot fall below zero. Risk: Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in the long- term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other investments. short investment and make Short-Term Purchases Securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-term price fluctuations. Risk: A short seller has to undertake to pay the earnings on the borrowed securities as long as the short seller chooses to keep the short position open. If the company declares huge dividends or issues bonus shares, the short seller will have to pay that amount to the lender. Any such occurrence can skew the entire it unprofitable. The broker can use the funds in the short seller's margin account to buy back the loaned shares or issue a "call away" to get the short seller to return the borrowed securities. If the broker makes this call when the stock price is much higher than the price at the time of the short sale, then the investor can end up taking huge losses. Risk: Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate changes, cyclical earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of times. Risk: Margin interest can be a significant expense. Since short sales can only be undertaken in margin accounts, the interest payable on short trades can be substantial, especially if short positions are kept open over an extended period. Risk: Shares that are difficult to borrow – because of high short interest, limited float, or any other reason – have “hard-to-borrow” fees. These fees are based on an annualized rate that can range from a small Short Sales Unlike a straightforward investment in stocks where you buy shares with the expectation that their price will increase so you can sell at a profit, in a "short sale" you borrow stocks from your brokerage firm 26 of 47 fraction of a percent to more than 100% of the value of the short trade. The hard-to-borrow rate can fluctuate substantially on a daily basis; therefore, the exact dollar amount of the fee may not be known in advance, and may be substantial.   determine that it is suitable given your stated investment objectives and tolerance for risk. This may include buying and selling securities frequently in an effort to capture significant market gains and avoid significant losses. Margin Transactions A securities transaction in which an investor borrows money to purchase a security, in which case the security serves as collateral on the loan. Risk: When a frequent trading policy is in effect, there is a risk that investment performance within your account may be negatively affected, particularly through increased brokerage and other transactional costs and taxes. Risk: If the value of the shares drops sufficiently, the investor will be required to either deposit more cash into the account or sell a portion of the stock in order to maintain the margin requirements of the account. This is known as a "margin call." An investor's overall risk includes the amount of money invested plus the amount that was loaned to them. the strategies relative Investment Strategy Due Diligence We utilize a combination of qualitative and quantitative factors to identify, evaluate, and monitor the strategies made available on our Platforms. The quantitative analysis focuses on the performance of to benchmarks and peers, portfolio, risk metrics, and both the short-term and long-term track records of the strategies managed by each investment manager (including Strategists and SMA Managers, each, an “Investment Manager”). Our qualitative analysis reviews the breadth and depth of resources of operations of the Investment Manager, including organizational history, investment team experience, investment firm size and ownership structure, philosophy and process, client servicing capabilities, relationship with us, and other characteristics. Option Writing A securities transaction that involves selling an option. An option is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a particular security at a specified price on or before the expiration date of the option. When an investor sells a call option, he or she must deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer exercises the option. When an investor sells a put option, he or she must pay the strike price per share if the buyer exercises the option, and will receive the specified number of shares. The option writer/seller receives a premium (the market price of the option at a particular time) in exchange for writing the option. Risk: Options are complex investments and can be very risky, especially if the investor does not own the underlying stock. In certain situations, an investor's risk can be unlimited. trading Trading We may use frequent trading (in general, selling securities within 30 days of purchasing the same securities) as an investment strategy when managing your account(s). Frequent is not a fundamental part of our overall investment strategy, but we may use this strategy occasionally when we Our Investment Due Diligence Committee oversees the Investment Manager due diligence, selection and monitoring processes. The Investment Due Diligence Committee reviews manager performance and addresses potential concerns, collaborates on new manager searches, and discusses recommended manager terminations. New investment strategies, including, but not limited to, separate accounts and funds managed by unaffiliated Strategists, include but are not limited to performance and style analysis, risk analysis, information obtained through onsite due diligence meetings with the appropriate executive and investment personnel, and a review of the manager’s investment strategy due diligence Investment Due questionnaire responses. The their professional Diligence Committee uses 27 of 47 factors into consideration judgment and investment experience while taking these when recommending any investment action such as the addition of a new strategy to the platform and/or manager terminations.

To monitor Investment Managers and manage the strategies on the platform, we utilize various third- party analytical software. Also, we use a proprietary risk scoring methodology. This tool assists Advisors in developing and selecting Investment Manager strategies by assigning a risk score to each strategy on our Platforms. The tool helps Investment Advisors with portfolio construction and asset allocation. As a Client’s Investment Advisor determines the investment strategy to utilize based on the Client’s investment needs, Clients should consult their Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A for a full description of their investment analysis to determine how the strategy selected best suits the Clients investment needs and risk tolerance. We make additional Strategists and Strategist Models available for use by these unaffiliated investment advisors through our Orion Investment Portal. Our Due Diligence team conducts a less thorough review of the Strategist Models available only through the Orion Investment Portal. This limited due diligence consists of a quantitative if applicable, the review of the Strategy and, Strategist, which includes, but is not limited to historical risk and return performance against peers and benchmarks, assets under management for the Strategy and Strategist, length of performance track record, and other factors.

Investment Advisors in instructions. style, geography, To assist identifying Strategies and understanding our ongoing views on the Strategists and Strategies, we make available a “Select List” and a “Watch List.” The Select List contains Strategies OPS Global which exceed certain thresholds relating to both quantitative metrics and qualitative assessments and are viewed as high conviction by our Due Diligence team. The “Watch List” contains Strategies identified by our Due Diligence team as having attributes that warrant concern but have not yet been determined as Strategies that should be removed from our Platform. The Select List and Watch List are each updated on a semi-annual basis. Individual Securities We do not review investment decisions regarding individual securities made by unaffiliated Investment Managers. While we for implementing an Investment Manager’s instructions with respect to Client accounts invested in a model, we do not review or make any independent determination with respect to the merits of such Investment decisions investment relating to fund shares for strategies managed directly by us are made by our investment team. The selection process can generally be defined as eclectic in nature, with no specific constraints based on size, liquidity, sector or other predetermined criteria. Our investment team may consider a broad array of factors in determining the purchase or sale of a security, including but not limited to, the upside potential, downside risk, valuation metrics, technical outlook, future catalyst and/or other event, diversification benefit information. 28 of 47 to analyze personal situation, and investment experience. We utilize our proprietary computerized software program investment strategy the questionnaire to ensure the selected strategy or strategies are suitable for the Client. Our investment team is responsible for maintaining the logic, which includes maintaining investment strategy the questionnaire. Custom Indexing We make available certain Custom Indexing and tax managed strategies, which replicate broad market indices or strategist models through the direct purchase of individual securities. These strategies seek to replicate the risk/return profile of the index or strategy being targeted and can create tax alpha by harvesting tax losses to offset taxes on capital gains as well as provide comprehensive tax transitions. When creating an investment strategy profile for a client in our Wealth Advisory Program introduced to us by a solicitor Investment Advisor, we consider various factors, including, but not limited to, Client risk tolerance, risk capacity, risk composure, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, tax bracket, and account type. We also consider a Client’s level of investable assets and desired level of investment discretion in recommending programs. Discretionary Programs As mentioned above, in addition to third-party Investment Manager strategies, we make available certain strategies that are managed internally. The platform provides portfolios managed by our portfolio management team using mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and other exchange-traded products.

However, we do not give investment the participants. Asset Allocation Process For solicitor Clients, once we have created an investment strategy profile, the solicitor creates an asset allocation that aligns Client objectives with investment strategies using investment disciplines that are suitable for achieving the Client’s stated goals, which we then review. For discretionary portfolios, each program will be managed within the stated ranges for each major asset class. With respect to any investment recommendation, neither we nor the Asset Allocation Committee or Investment Committee members favor one Client or group of Clients at the expense of other Clients. Investment Strategy Development Critical to the success of any investment plan is a well-defined strategy risk tolerance, risk capacity, risk composure, time horizons, rate of return targets, and liquidity needs. We use an investment strategy questionnaire (also called a Risk Tolerance Questionnaire or Risk Tolerance Assessment) to assist in developing a recommended or suggested investment strategy for each Client. Risk Budgeting We also utilize Risk Budgeting for certain investment strategies. Risk Budgeting is the spending allowance with regard to risk that we allow for a Client’s portfolio. The risk associated with each investment is carefully considered before it is added to a Client’s portfolio. Under Risk Budgeting, Clients are assigned a Risk Budget and each security is assigned a risk Investment Strategy Questionnaire BCI Clients introduced to us through a solicitor Investment Advisor will complete an investment strategy questionnaire developed by us or a third- party advisor which identifies the Client objectives, assets, risk tolerance, risk capacity, risk composure, 29 of 47 funds, which we believe Strategists and/or eliminates any incentive or conflict with respect to the allocation of assets in a Client’s account. We utilize only our Destinations Funds in our Destinations Funds models, for which we serve as the advisor and receive an advisory fee from the Destinations Funds. This creates a potential conflict of interest, which we seek to mitigate by excluding the Destinations Funds when calculating the Brinker Fee Component and Administration Fees, as applicable, for accounts in the Destinations models. See also Item 9 – Additional Information of this Brochure. value primarily based on volatility. The Risk Budget is expressed as a percentage of the risk relative to a diversified equity portfolio benchmark. For example, a Risk Budget of 100 would represent a portfolio with a risk similar to 100% of the risk of a diversified equity portfolio and a portfolio with a Risk Budget of 60 would represent a portfolio with a risk similar to 60% of the risk of a diversified equity portfolio. Within the constraints of the Risk Budget that Clients select, we actively seek to identify attractive market opportunities. Our Risk Budgeting Methodology is flexible enough to be applied to a broad variety of Client risk comfort levels, from aggressive to conservative. in and/or investment compensation Investment As discussed in Item 4 – Services, Fees and Compensation of this Brochure, we may retain a portion of the Strategist Fee / Strategy Fee Component of a strategy, or otherwise receive compensation from a Strategist. In addition, as Information, Item 9 – Additional discussed Strategists may provide support payments for marketing and / or events created by or hosted by us and our affiliates. This creates a conflict of interest when determining to include a Strategist or Strategy on the “Select List” or “Watch List” discussed above. We mitigate this conflict by ensuring the criteria used to add or remove a Strategy to the Select List” or “Watch List” is based solely on the investment due diligence team’s independent assessment of the Strategy. Compensation we receive from Strategists, either directly or indirectly, is not taken into account by our investment due diligence team when adding or removing Strategies from the “Select List” and “Watch List.” Conflicts of Interest From time to time, our investment team, Investment Committee, and/or the Investment Due Diligence Committee members may have a conflict of interest when making an investment recommendation, including any benefits we or such individuals receives from a third party. When a particular investment recommendation creates a conflict of interest, the investment team member, Investment Committee member, Investment Due Diligence Committee member will (i) ensure the nature and extent of his or her interest is fully disclosed prior to the transaction, including disclosure of any direct or the indirect team member, Committee member, Investment Due Diligence Committee member, and/or we receive in connection with the transaction and (ii) make the recommendation only if he or she has a reasonable belief that the transaction is in the Client’s best interest. Risk of Loss The description contained herein is an overview of the risks entailed in the various advisory programs we offer and is not intended to be complete. All investing involves a risk of loss, our programs could lose money over short or long periods. Our parent company, Orion Advisor Solutions, Inc. (“Orion”) maintains a Conflicts Committee charged with identifying and addressing conflicts of interest that exist in our business and the business of our affiliates.

An is investment in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, or stocks could lose money. We and the Strategists cannot give any guarantee that they will achieve 30 of 47 ratings of the portfolio’s securities. Generally, investment risk and price volatility increase as a security’s credit rating declines. their investment objectives or that Clients will receive a return on or return of their investment. Although money market funds are considered low risk, they are affected by other types of risk, mainly interest-rate risk and inflation risk. The underlying value of the instruments within the money market fund may change depending on the direction of interest rates. Derivatives Risk Derivatives, such as options, futures and swaps, can be volatile, and a small investment in a derivative can have a large impact on the performance of the portfolio. Other risks of investments in derivatives include imperfect correlation between the value of these instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the derivative transactions may not be liquid. No Guarantee The value of a Client investment could decline and be worth less than the principal initially invested. And while a money market fund seeks a stable share price, its yield fluctuates. In addition, mutual funds are not insured or guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Bond funds, unlike purchasing a bond directly, will not re-pay the principal at a set point in time. Risks Performance could be impacted by a number of different market risks including but not limited to: Foreign Risk Foreign investments are subject to the same risks as domestic investments and additional risks, including international trade, currency, political, regulatory and diplomatic risks, which may affect their value. Also, foreign securities are subject to the risk that their market price may not reflect the issuer’s condition because there is not sufficient publicly available information about the issuer. Loss of Capital All of our programs are subject to general market risk. Any investment in the securities is subject to risk of loss of capital. The value of the portfolio will fluctuate based upon changes in value of the underlying securities. Investments are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Leverage Risk Certain transactions, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, loans of portfolio securities, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions, may give rise to leverage, causing a portfolio to be more volatile than if it had not been leveraged. Interest Rate Risk Portfolios may change in response to the movement of interest rates. The price of a fixed income security will generally fall when interest rates rise, and vice versa. Manager Risk Performance may deviate from overall market returns if we or any unaffiliated Strategist is either more defensive or more aggressive when the market is rising or falling, respectively. Liquidity Risk Certain securities eligible for investment by the portfolio may be deemed to be illiquid under applicable law. During periods of market turbulence or unusually low trading activity, in order to meet redemptions, it may be necessary for the portfolio to sell such securities at prices that could impact portfolio value. Credit Risk The value of a Client’s investment in the portfolio may change in response to changes in the credit 31 of 47 to appoint Execution Delay Risk In our Retirement Plan Services program, we provide instructions regarding mutual funds and ETFs included in the asset allocation models for the RPS program and the weightings thereof.

We will vote proxies in accordance with the instructions of the Strategist(s) for securities held in the Client's account with the manager, provided that the instructions are timely received by us. If the Strategist’s instructions are not timely received, we shall vote the proxies for these securities, as well as proxies for any other securities held in a Clients account, in accordance with the recommendations provided by an independent proxy voting advisory service (a “Proxy Voter”). For Strategists that provide a model to us in which we have trading authority, we shall vote the proxies of the securities in accordance with the recommendations provided by a Proxy Voter. The level of exposure to any of the foregoing risks will depend on the extent to which BCI or any third- party or fund manager invests in specific securities or utilizes specific investment strategies that pose such risks. that Clients are considering Alternative Investments Alternative investments, such as Private Equity Funds, non-traded Real Estate Investment Funds, Hedge Funds, and typically any security or investment that is not traded and priced on a daily basis, are speculative and involve substantial risks. It is possible that investors may lose some or all of their investment. Please review the offering documents for the risks associated with each alternative for investment investment. We retain the right to vote proxies for mutual fund shares and ETF shares. Generally, we vote such proxies in accordance with recommendations provided by a Proxy Voter. However, we retain the right to vote the proxies without a recommendation from a Proxy Voter if a Clients accounts own in the aggregate one percent (1%) or more of the outstanding shares of the issuer as of the record date, provided that all such decisions are made in accordance with our Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures (the "Voting Policy"). In the event we are voting such proxies without a recommendation from a Proxy Voter, the guiding principle by which we vote on all matters submitted to security holders is the maximization of the ultimate economic value of our Clients’ holdings (the "Guidelines"). For accounts subject to ERISA and other covered person benefit plans, the focus on the realization of economic value is solely for the benefit of plan participants and their beneficiaries. Alternative Investment Mutual Funds Alternative investment mutual funds are speculative and involve substantial risks. It is possible that investors may lose some or all of their investment. Please review the mutual fund prospectus for the risks associated with each alternative mutual fund that Clients are considering for investment in a Strategist Model. In the Destinations program, proxy ballots are sent directly to Clients. However, if Clients indicate on the custodial account application form (in the manner required by the custodian) that we are to vote proxies on their behalf, their account is included in a rolled-up ballot which is voted by us in accordance with recommendations from a Proxy Voter. Summary Of Proxy Voting We vote proxies for certain Client accounts. Please refer to the Terms of Use for details regarding proxy authority. If Clients grant us proxy voting authority, 32 of 47 determine the appropriate vote. The Strategist will retain all documents prepared by him/her (or at his/her direction) that were material to making a decision on how to vote or that memorializes the basis for the decision. Our Investment Committee has the responsibility to monitor proxy voting decisions for any conflicts of interests, regardless of whether they are actual or perceived. If at any time any supervised person becomes aware of any potential, actual, or perceived conflict of interest, the supervised person is required to contact the Chair of the Investment Committee or the Chief Compliance Officer immediately and prior to the vote being cast, if possible. The Investment Committee may cause any of the following actions to be taken in that regard: We and all Strategists retained by us have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures. We will provide these policies and procedures to each Client using their investment management services in compliance with current regulations. A copy of our Voting Policy is available, upon request, by contacting us at 859-426-2000. • Vote the proxy in accordance with the vote indicated by the Guidelines; • Vote the relevant proxy contrary to the vote that would be indicated by the Guidelines, provided that the reasons behind the voting decision are in the best interest of the Client, are reasonably documented, and are approved by the Chief Compliance Officer; or Absent any legal or regulatory requirement to the contrary, it is generally our policy to maintain the confidentiality of the particular votes that we cast on behalf of our Clients; however, we will obtain and make available to each Client the voting record of each Strategist with respect to their account upon receipt of a written request. Clients may obtain details of how we voted the securities in their account by contacting our Client Services at us at 859-426-2000.

We also make available to Clients and their financial advisor planning tools from Orion Planning and risk analytics tools from Orion Risk Intelligence. We believe that the utilization of Orion Tech, Orion Planning, and Orion Risk Intelligence do not create a conflict of interest. a Destinations Funds We are the investment advisor for the Destinations Mutual Funds and we receive an investment advisory fee for this service, which presents a potential conflict of interest. The Destinations Mutual Funds are included in the Destinations strategies offered through our Strategist Program and Communities such platform.

TownSquare markets this program under the name Orion OCIO, which stands for Outsourced Chief Investment Officer. We have a sub-advisory agreement in place with TownSquare to manage some products available on our platform. Due to the fact that TownSquare is an affiliate, we have an incentive to utilize TownSquare as a sub- advisor. Orion Compliance Orion Compliance is a compliance management system owned and sold by our parent company. The cloud-based software platform provides core compliance functions including management of policies and procedures, employee trade monitoring, testing, and certifications. We utilize Orion Compliance as a technology solution for our compliance program. Material Conflicts of Interest Our parent company, Orion, maintains a Conflicts Committee charged with identifying and addressing materials conflicts of interest that exist in our business and the business of our affiliates. The Conflicts Committee is chaired by our Chief Compliance Officer and includes senior employees across the technology and wealth management offerings of Orion. Constellation Trust Company ("CTC") CTC is a Nebraska chartered trust company and is our subsidiary. Some of our executive officers also serve as officers and directors of CTC. CTC's custodial services facilitate certain BCI Clients who desire a third-party investment advisor such as us to manage their account(s). We and our affiliates may recommend CTC, among other custodians, to our Clients. CTC has established electronic interfaces and capabilities necessary to maintain and aggregate custodial records and reporting for Clients invested investment platforms. We have across various entered into an arrangement with CTC to waive the annual custodial fee for BCI Clients. All other custodial fees and charges of CTC are set forth in the CTC custodial agreement. Trades for BCI Client accounts custodied at CTC are effected via the National Securities Clearing Corporation through arrangements with third parties, including Matrix Settlement and Clearance Services, LLC ("Matrix") and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. The Destinations Funds (for which we serve as investment advisor) and other mutual funds held by BCI Clients with assets custodied at CTC pay shareholder servicing or sub-transfer agent fees to CTC for distribution and/or shareholder servicing related assistance associated with making a Client's investments in such funds. Our policies and practices with respect to selecting share classes for accounts invested in programs that are held at CTC or any other custodian, are described in Item 4 – Services, Fees and Compensation of this Brochure. CTC receives 12b-1 fees from mutual funds held in some Client accounts. Mutual Fund Transaction Fees In the Core Asset Manager, Destinations ETFh, and Wealth Advisory programs, we have the choice of using either non-transaction fee (“NTF”) funds or transaction fee funds. While transaction fee funds generally have a lower expense ratio to the Client than an NTF fund, the clearing and custody costs paid by us are higher for transaction fee funds than for NTF funds. For Clients with fee schedules in effect prior to April 1, 2017, this may create a conflict by giving us the incentive to select NTF funds in order to reduce the clearing and custody fees for Client TownSquare Capital, LLC TownSquare is an investment advisor registered with fee-based the SEC. TownSquare provides a investment platform that allows investment advisors 38 of 47 accounts, instead of selecting transaction fee funds that may have a lower expense ratio to the Client. In order to address this potential conflict, we pay the custodian an asset-based fee for clearing and custody, which we took into account when establishing its prior fee schedule(s) for these programs. that the in “qualifying factors” for the portion of through the Destinations Funds We in the Destinations Funds invest accounts program in Destinations Funds, for which we serve as the investment advisor. As investment advisor to the Destinations Funds we receive an advisory fee.

However, our decisions with respect to the selection, allocation of assets, and termination of a sub- advisors of the Destinations Funds are subject to the oversight and approval of the Board of Trustees of the Destinations Funds (a majority of which are unaffiliated with us). In addition, we do not assess the Brinker Fee Component or Administrative Fee, as applicable, the Client’s Destinations portfolio invested in the Destinations Funds. Investment Advisors Elite Advisor Network We offer an Elite Advisor Network program (the “EAN Program”) in which qualifying Investment Advisor firms or their individual representatives that utilize OPS. Participants in the EAN Program receive non-cash benefits from us designed to help better serve their clients and enhance their business practices. These non-cash benefits are generally based on two factors: 1) the amount of client assets under management qualifying representative recommends be managed by or through us and 2) participation by the qualifying representative including attending marketing events hosted or sponsored by us. Benefits that qualifying representatives receive through the EAN Program vary by tier, but may include, but are not limited to: enhanced training for the representative and his or her staff, access to our staff, enhanced client application processing and handling, business transition services, marketing support, increased discounts on value-added technology services, expense reimbursement for travel to and attendance at events we approve, and access to other functions we sponsor and approve. Even though qualifying representatives do not receive additional cash compensation directly from EAN Program, qualifying us representatives may have an incentive to refer Clients to invest with us so that they may qualify or requalify for the EAN Program. This creates a conflict for the representatives when recommending our services to Clients. Clients should ask their financial adviser about the benefits he or she receives from the EAN Program. in the program and Technology, Financial Professional Seminars We organize educational seminars for solicitor and co-advisor that may be sponsored or co-sponsored by various Strategists that participate in our advisory programs. Strategists who participate in this program pay a fee which is used to defray expenses associated with such events. A Strategist’s participation is voluntary. We do not consider a Strategist’s participation in this program when making Strategist or Strategy recommendations to Clients, approving or removing a Strategist or Strategy through our Investment Due Diligence Committee, or adding or removing a Strategy from our “Select List” or “Watch List.” Affiliate Offerings Our affiliates Advizr, Inc. dba Orion Planning, BasisCode Compliance LLC dba Orion Compliance, Orion Tech, GxWorks, LLC dba Orion Risk Intelligence, Inc.

The total amount of assets managed investment advisory programs is also a factor in determining the amount of the fee reduction in certain instances. As such, an Investment Advisor may have a reduction in their costs to utilize our Technology Affiliates’ services based on their Clients’ collective assets under management within our advisory programs. This creates a conflict for these Investment Advisors because the more assets that they recommend be invested in our advisory programs, the lower their cost is to receive the services of our Technology Affiliates. We do not receive any portion of the fees the Investment Advisors pay to our Technology Affiliates, nor do these fee reductions apply to the fees paid by the Client for the advisory services we offer. Third Party Technology Services Arrangements We utilize the investment advisor technology platform created by our affiliate, Orion Tech. This platform to other, unaffiliated investment advisors and features integrated third- party services available through unaffiliated financial technology providers, creating integrated services available to users of Orion Tech (including OPS). Through Orion Tech’s arrangements with such third party technology providers, Orion Tech receives revenue based on the usage of the third-party service through its platform. While such third-party services are typically integrated into the Orion Tech technology experience for ease of use, users of Orion Tech’s technology services are not prevented from choosing alternative providers. Nevertheless, the inclusion of certain third-party service providers on Orion Tech’s platform for which Orion Tech receives revenue for the services it provides to support the integration creates a conflict as we are encouraged to refer or recommend those services which would generate more revenue for Orion Tech. Such services are discussed in detail below. arrangement with Strategist Data We offer a program where Strategists on our platform can purchase from us data containing aggregate information regarding the investment advisors who are researching or recommending their strategies or models. This program is voluntary for Strategists. This program creates a conflict of interest for us as we are encouraged to prefer Strategists who agree to purchase such data. We mitigate this conflict by subjecting all Strategists to the same Due Diligence process regardless of their us. Additional business information regarding our Due Diligence process can be found in Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation of this Brochure. Custodian Conflicts For a discussion of the potential conflict of interest that could arise from the economic benefits we receive from NFS and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) in the form of the support products and services these firms make available to us, see Item DPL Financial Partners DPL Financial Partners (“DPL”) is a financial service provider that coordinates the provision, either directly or through its associated and licensed broker-dealer, of certain insurance products, including annuities. DPL supports such activities through the use of a web-based platform and certain associated Product Tools (collectively, the “DPL Platform”), as well as through relationships that DPL has established with certain insurance carriers that offer Insurance Products. DPL offers the use of its 40 of 47 insurance services through a membership program. DPL is unaffiliated with us or any of our affiliates. in Our affiliate, Orion Tech, has entered into an arrangement where DPL will share a portion of the membership fee paid to it by any investment advisor referred to DPL by Orion Tech. DPL will also pay a technology support fee to Orion Tech for its efforts in supporting the integration with the DPL Platform. We do not receive any portion of these fees. There is a conflict as the Client’s third party investment advisor which uses our advisory services described in this Brochure may also use the technology services of Orion Tech, and Orion Tech may receive revenue from DPL if the Clients investment advisor was referred to DPL by Orion Tech and became a member of DPL. A Client’s third party investment which uses our advisory services described in this Brochure may also use the technology services of Orion Tech, and may recommend that Clients allocate a portion of their assets to one or more offerings available on the CAIS platform. In addition, if Clients engage our Wealth Advisory service, we may recommend that Clients allocate a portion of Client assets to one or more offerings available on the CAIS platform. This creates a conflict for us as Orion Tech may receive revenue from CAIS if Clients invest in any offering on the CAIS platform through their investment advisor or our Wealth Advisory platform. This revenue to Orion Tech is in addition to the advisory fee we receive for the Wealth Advisory services provided to the Client described Item 4 – Services, Fees and Compensation of this Brochure. Neither we nor Orion Tech, nor any of our affiliates, is involved in the solicitation or sales of the insurance products through the DPL Platform. Orion Cash and Credit Orion Cash and Credit offers third-party financial advisors who utilize the OPS and BCI Platforms access to an array of banking and lending solutions and related services. These services are offered to our Clients by Uptiq, Inc. (“Uptiq”) through an integration with the platform of our affiliate, Orion Tech. Orion Tech, will receive a fee for Orion Tech clients who are referred to Uptiq’s platform, including our Clients. deposit-related products listed Investment Advisors that utilize the integration to the Uptiq platform, including advisors who use the OPS or BCI Platforms, will have access to Uptiq’s financial institution partners that offer the lending- and below (collectively, the “Financial Products”).

Such Financial Products currently consist of the following: Capital Integration Systems Capital Integration Systems (“CAIS”), itself and through its subsidiaries, offers a platform for the purchase of private placements and other non- traded assets. CAIS is unaffiliated with us or any of our affiliates. Our affiliate, Orion Tech, has entered into an arrangement where CAIS will pay Orion Tech a fee based on the value of the assets held by Clients of investment advisors who utilize Orion Tech’s technology, including our Clients. Orion Tech will receive no fee until the value of such assets exceeds $100 million, and the size of the fee will increase until the value of such assets exceeds $500 million, at which time the fee will not increase. However, as the fee is based on the value of the assets on the platform, the amount of revenue received by Orion Tech will increase as the value of such assets (either by market gain or additional sales) will increase. We do not receive any portion of this fee. • Mortgage Loans — Loans relating to residential purchases, refinancing, HELOC, and construction loans; 41 of 47 in outside activities, • Working Capital — Corporate, commercial, and business working capital, expansion and acquisition lines of credit and loans; • Commercial Real Estate — Commercial real estate, multifamily and other owned occupied properties; • Securities Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOC) — Automated and highly competitively priced non-purpose securities backed lines along with lines secured by selective private and alternative investments; • Specialty Lending — Premium financing, fund call and operating lines of credit, along with others; Board Member Activities The Board Members of our parent company may be engaged including being employed by or serving as a board member of the parent company or affiliate of one of our third-party Strategists. This creates a conflict for us as we may be encouraged to approve for our platform a Strategist based on this relationship. We mitigate this conflict by requiring that all third party be subject to our Due Diligence process, including Investment Due review and approval by our Diligence Committee, prior to being placed on our platform. See Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation of this Brochure for additional information regarding our Due Diligence process. Code of Ethics • Watercraft and Aircraft Lending — New and used watercraft and/or aircraft purchases and refinancing; and FDIC Insured Deposit Program — In-portfolio cash balances, held away debit/transactional cash and outside client cash savings with $2 to $100 million of insurance per tax ID.

The Code sets forth a standard of business conduct required of all of our employees (which includes all of our officers, directors, and employees as well as any other person who provides advice on our behalf and is subject to our supervision and control). We effectively treat each employee as an “access person” as defined in Rule 204A-1. Our employees do not include employees of unaffiliated Strategist or Investment Advisors who refer Clients to us (in a solicitor arrangement) or who recommend our services (in a co-advisory relationship), each of whom is required to adopt its own code of ethics applicable to these individuals.

Investment Advisor which uses our A Client’s advisory services described in this Brochure may also use the technology services of Orion Tech, and may recommend that Clients utilize the services of Flourish. The Code is based, in part, upon the principle that we and our employees owe a fiduciary duty to our Clients. Each employee must act in a manner as to avoid (1) placing his or her own personal interests ahead of our Clients; (ii) taking inappropriate advantage of his or her position with us; and (iii) any actual or potential conflicts of interest or any abuse of his or her position of trust and responsibility. 42 of 47 The Code provides that employees and members of their households may not: • Securities”), which list must be updated annually.

Accordingly, since our employees are generally not aware of investment decisions of unaffiliated Strategists, our employees may buy or sell for their personal accounts securities which are recommended by Strategists for Client accounts. However, if we receive confidential information regarding an issuer from a Strategist, we may establish a restricted list for such securities. Employees are prohibited from personally, or on behalf of a household member, purchasing any securities on a restricted list. In the event that an employee owns a security that was purchased prior to being placed on the restricted list, the employee must obtain approval (pre-clearance) from the Chief Compliance Officer prior to entering any securities transaction in their personal accounts for the sale of that security. • conduct all of his or her business activities in accordance with the requirements of the Code and consistent with our fiduciary duties to its Clients; comply with all applicable federal securities laws; • promptly report any violations of the Code to our Chief Compliance Officer or Compliance Department; and In addition, each employee must receive prior approval from our Chief Compliance Officer or their designee for (i) any purchase of securities in an initial public offering or a limited offering for the benefit of such employee or member of his/her household or (ii) serving on the boards of directors of any public corporation. • annually certify that he or she has received, read and understands the Code, has complied with all requirements of the Code and disclosed all personal securities transactions required pursuant to the Code.

Our recommendations will be based on information provided by the Client to us regarding the Client’s objectives, assets, risk tolerance, time horizon, personal situation and investment experience. The Client’s Investment Advisor has agreed to make periodic contact with the Client, in a manner consistent with fiduciary obligations and applicable law. Together, the Client and their Investment Advisor will determine whether a change in the Client’s financial situation and objectives warrants a change in the investments we manage on the Client’s behalf. If any information changes, the Client or their Investment Advisor are responsible for promptly advising us of any changes. Thereafter, we monitor the performance of each Strategy.
