The strategies are managed by a team of porSolio managers. The strategies are managed to target the risk and return characterisOcs of a parOcular equity index or a specific segment of the market. For many of the Disciplined Equity strategies, Clients may elect Orion Custom further customizaOon to their tax preferences such as capital gains budgets and tax transiOon services. Clients may invest in the Disciplined Equity strategies using our BCI PlaSorm, our OPS PlaSorm, or through the CommuniOes model marketplace. Tailored AllocaOon PorSolios will use Orion Custom Indexing management to transiOon an investor’s exisOng holdings into the selected model. Such transiOon will be customized for the Investor based on as communicated to us by the Investor or Advisor. CustomizaOon can be based on the individual holdings’ potenOal realized tax gain or loss, and the amount of such realized tax gain or loss the Investor desires during each tax calendar year. Investors will not be able to apply any Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) or other security selecOon restricOons on accounts invested in the Tailored AllocaOon PorSolios program. Orion Custom Indexing Equity Long/Short Strategy The Orion Custom Indexing Equity Long/Short Strategy is a part of the Orion Custom Indexing Program. The strategy uOlizes a customized long/short overlay and seeks pre-tax and aner-tax excess returns through acOve stock selecOon and weekly tax-loss harvesOng, while delivering the investment characterisOcs of the Client's desired beta exposure. Orion Custom Indexing Strategy Indexing uOlizes opOmizaOon Orion Custom technology to provide Investment Advisors with the ability to personalize porSolios, tax transiOon legacy assets, and tax loss harvest Client porSolios. In addiOon to managing against passive indexes, the program also offers the ability to overlay on top of proprietary and third-party porSolios. PorSolios are typically constructed of individual stocks but may also include ETFs and mutual funds depending on the specific mandate and any legacy assets incorporated into the Client porSolio. If Clients transiOon from our DesOnaOons program to Orion Custom Indexing, DesOnaOons Funds may be held in the Orion Custom Indexing product as Client tax preferences are being implemented. When DesOnaOons Funds are held in a Custom Indexing product, we will conOnue to collect our fee as advisor to the DesOnaOons Funds. We offer Orion Custom Indexing through our OPS PlaSorm, our BCI PlaSorm’s solicitor and co-advisor relaOonships, and as a sub-advisory service. To be eligible for the Orion Custom Indexing Equity Long/Short strategy through the Brinker Capital Investments or Orion PorSolio SoluOons plaSorms, the Client's household must have at least $3,000,000 in assets with us, and the account uOlizing the strategy must have at least $1,000,000 in marginable securiOes. The strategy is subject to custodian restricOons, and certain custodians may not support the strategy.

The Orion Custom Indexing Equity Long/Short Strategy is only available through Wealth Advisory Program on the BCI PlaSorm, or through the SMA Program on the OPS PlaSorm only when Wealth Advisory is selected as the SMA Program Manager. It is available to Advisors who uOlize our WTS PlaSorm without restricOon. Des@na@ons ETFh Strategy The “DesOnaOons ETFh” program offers risk-based asset allocaOon models comprised of ETFs and unaffiliated third-party mutual funds. The DesOnaOons Funds and the DesOnaOons ETFh programs are both available directly from us through both our BCI and OPS programs and at third party plaSorms. Market Cycle Advised Mandate Por(olios Market Cycle Advised Mandate PorSolios (“MCAM PorSolios”) are porSolios managed by OPS and composed of Strategist funds or Models, including our proprietary DesOnaOons Funds. MCAM PorSolios are risk-budgeted, acOvely managed investment porSolios across mulOple risk profiles. Strategist team, each The porSolios are designed and managed by our OPS Investment featuring allocaOons that are blended for various levels of three mandates: market parOcipaOon across parOcipaOon, acOve management, and uncorrelated performance. We have Full DiscreOon to select the Strategist and Models, including proprietary models and DesOnaOons Funds, trade the accounts based on our selecOons, and bill the accounts according to the fees agreed to by the Client. Core Asset Manager Program Strategies The following are the various strategies under the Core Asset Manager Program Des@na@ons Hybrid PorIolios Strategy Our “DesOnaOons Hybrid PorSolios” Program is a discreOonary account program managed by us that is offered uOlizing a combinaOon of DesOnaOons Funds and other investment opOons. Under this strategy, the Client’s Investment Advisor consults with the Client to select an iniOal allocaOon of thirty percent (30%), finy percent (50%), or seventy percent (70%) of the assets in the Client’s account to be invested in DesOnaOons Funds with the remaining balance invested among other investment opOons. The Client’s account will be rebalanced if the allocaOon to DesOnaOons Funds exceeds the target by 5% (i.e., 35%, 55% and 75%, respecOvely). Clients may at any Ome instruct us in wriOng not to place any of the Client’s managed assets in DesOnaOons Funds; however, in such an event the Client will be required to select a different strategy we offer.

Des,na,ons Strategies The following Strategies are all available within the DesOnaOons Program on the BCI PlaSorm and the Strategist Program on the OPS PlaSorm. Brinker Blended PorIolios Strategy Our Brinker Blended PorSolios Program is a risk- based asset allocaOon discreOonary account program managed by us that is offered using a combinaOon of our proprietary DesOnaOons Funds (our Affiliated Funds) and other unaffiliated 16 of 74 investments opOons (non-affiliated mutual funds and ETFs). We have Full DiscreOon to select the Affiliated Funds and Non-Affiliated Mutual Funds and ETFs in this program, and the proporOon of the model allocated to each fund selected by us. Focused Strategies We offer “Focused Strategies” consisOng of model porSolios managed by us and targeOng specific asset classes – domesOc equity, internaOonal equity, fixed income, global credit, real assets, and alternaOve investments – available to Clients as a component of their overall asset allocaOon or as a complementary investment allocaOon. Core Plus ETF Strategy Our discreOonary “Core Plus ETF Strategy” invests a Client’s assets primarily among ETFs in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objecOves. Personal Benchmark Strategy Our “Personal Benchmark Strategy” is a discreOonary account strategy managed by us that allocates across mulOple DesOnaOons Funds model investment strategies based upon Client risk tolerance. Personal Benchmark divides assets into “buckets” based on individual goals (such as accumulaOon or safety), making it easier to track progress toward each objecOve. The underlying investment strategies in Personal Benchmark use our DesOnaOons Funds. 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. favorable environmental, American Hybrid Strategy We offer discreOonary porSolios uOlizing a combinaOon of DesOnaOons Funds and American Funds class F shares. An iniOal allocaOon of thirty percent (30%) of the assets in this strategy will be invested in DesOnaOons Funds with the remaining balance invested among American Funds. The account will be rebalanced if the Client’s allocaOon to DesOnaOons Funds exceeds the target by 5%. ETF and Mutual Fund Por(olios American Funds Strategy We offer discreOonary porSolios comprised solely of American Funds class F mutual fund shares in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objecOves. Brinker Capital ESG PorIolios We offer ESG PorSolios that use, in accordance with the Client’s objecOves, mutual funds, ETFs, and/or other products that invest in securiOes deemed to possess social, and governance (ESG) characterisOcs. We use the Morningstar Sustainability RaOng scale (referred to as “globes”), which scores securiOes based on ESG characterisOcs 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 porSolios are built in a diversified, risk budgeted framework, according to the Client’s investment objecOves. framework, according to Capital Group ETF Strategies We offer discreOonary porSolios which invest primarily in Capital Group ETFs in a diversified, mulO- asset the Client’s investment objecOves. At our discreOon, we may include an allocaOon of up to 20% to non-Capital Group ETFs in these porSolios to supplement the asset class exposures available through Capital Group ETFs. Ac@ve Income Strategy Our AcOve Income Strategy is designed for Clients who prefer an acOve strategy that seeks a specific percentage yield by invesOng in income-producing securiOes. When selecOng 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 addiOon to tradiOonal dividend- 17 of 74 oriented equiOes and investment grade bonds, the strategy generates income using non-tradiOonal asset classes, such as master limited partnerships, real estate, converObles, senior bank loans, high- yield bonds, and internaOonal debt.

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. Individualized Account Management The Individualized Account Management Strategy is available to Clients of our ReOrement Plan Services and uses Risk BudgeOng to diversify Client porSolios among several different asset classes uOlizing the mutual fund families available on the Client’s plaSorm or through the Client’s custodian, according to Client objecOves. to individual clients Managed Income Strategy Our Managed Income Strategy uses risk budgeOng to manage an account for Clients seeking income from a diversified porSolio of income-producing assets. See Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss of this Brochure for more informaOon on risk budgeOng. The strategy seeks to help Clients with a desire for regular income meet their short and long-term income needs by dividing the account into up to three separate investment porSolios: immediate, short-term, and long-term. If the Client enrolls in this strategy, the Client can designate a specific amount of assets needed to saOsfy short-term income needs. These assets will be invested in a low-risk reserve porSolio that will seek to generate returns in excess of the average money market fund with risk less than or equal to low duraOon 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 systemaOc withdrawals on their account, assets will also be set aside in a low- risk cash account for those immediate, systemaOc withdrawals. The remainder of the Client’s account will be set aside in a long-term porSolio invested primarily in income-generaOng investments. The long-term porSolio will be invested primarily in ETFs. Assets designated for this porSolio will seek to provide long-term growth and a steady stream of income. Other Advisory Offerings Third Party Pla(orm Model Manager We offer certain of our investment strategies and programs (primarily as a model manager) on plaSorms of unaffiliated and affiliated managers or sponsors. We also provide manager due diligence and other operaOonal related services to third-party plaSorms, including our affiliate TownSquare Capital, LLC.

Investment Advisor may Prac,ce Management and Por(olio Construc,on Assistance. Upon request of an eligible Investment Advisor, we may provide the Investment Advisor with porSolio construcOon assistance advice. We will have a consultaOon with the Investment Advisor to review the proposed or current allocaOon, review the investment and due diligence process performed by us, and discuss how it may integrate with a Client’s overall porSolio. In such instances, the Investment Advisor will retain investment discreOon over any Client assets allocated to the porSolio we’ve reviewed with the Investment Advisor. We will have no investment discreOon in this situaOon. Account Management Trading When we are granted Full DiscreOon 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 instrucOons to rebalance or reallocate the Strategist Models depending on their asset allocaOon philosophy or selecOon process. These adjustments to the asset allocaOons will result in transacOons in a Client’s account. For OPS PlaSorm Clients, a minimum amount of five dollars per security is required on contribuOons and rebalance trades. There is no such limitaOon for BCI PlaSorm Clients). All Strategist Model allocaOons contain a minimum allocaOon to cash. For distribuOons, posiOons are redeemed pro-rata unless otherwise specified. The last trade file submission will be sent to the custodian at or around 3 pm Eastern Ome. 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 ApplicaOon Addendum, Investment DirecOon 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 instruct OPS to terminate the use of the Strategist Models at any Ome. Clients will receive noOficaOon of all transacOons in their account(a) in the form of an account statement provided by the custodian. Por(olio Audit Service Upon request of an eligible Investment Advisor, we or our affiliate, TownSquare Capital, LLC, will conduct a review of a Client or a Prospect’s exisOng porSolio. This service is typically limited to porSolios with a value of greater than $1,000,000, though we may, at our discreOon, offer this service for porSolios with a lower value. This will include a review of some or all of the following aspects of such Client or Prospect’s exisOng porSolio: asset allocaOon and diversificaOon, For Strategist Program and Core Select strategies that invest in mutual funds, the custodians uOlized by us charge us an asset-based fee when Clients invest in certain share classes. These share classes are known as transacOon fee (“TF”) mutual funds. Absent the asset-based fee paid by us, Clients would be charged a transacOon 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, 19 of 74 in the Client’s best recommendaOons remain interest. fees or minimum Client Exclusions and Restric,ons impose For all of our programs, Clients may reasonable restricOons on the management of their account, including the designaOon of specific securiOes or a specific category of securiOes that should not be purchased for their account or that should be sold if held in the account, and may reasonably modify such restricOons from Ome to Ome. We or the Strategist may, at our sole discreOon, determine that a Client’s Exclusion or RestricOon is not reasonable given the circumstances. In such instances the Client will not be able to invest in the idenOfied model or Strategy and must select an alternaOve. we have a conflict when determining which share class to uOlize in Core Asset Manager or the Strategist Program. To miOgate 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 selecOng mutual funds and mutual fund share classes, we will not uOlize mutual funds or mutual fund share classes that have short term redempOon 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 lower cost share classes are TF mutual funds, it is possible that the Client would incur transacOon fees. When a Client restricts a category of securiOes that may be purchased for the account, we or the third- party Strategist will determine, in our respecOve sole discreOon, the specific securiOes in that category. Any restricOons a Client imposes on individual securiOes that may be purchased for the account shall apply only to individual stocks within separately managed porSolios. Investment Advisor, and Orion Custom Indexing Trading through Orion Wealth Tech Solu@ons For Orion Custom Indexing accounts under our WTS plaSorm, we will either submit trades to the custodian for a Client’s account or communicate trades to the Client’s Investment Advisor for the Client’s Investment Advisor to submit trades for execuOon. If we are submilng trades to a custodian for a Client’s account, the Client will be required to grant us trade authorizaOon on their account and may authorize us to bill their account. If the Client’s Investment Advisor is responsible for the trading in the account, we communicate a list of trades to the the Client’s Client’s Investment Advisor is responsible for ensuring trades are submimed for execuOon based on the Client’s Investment Advisor’s trading pracOces. In such instances, we do not have any trade authorizaOon on the Client’s account. Wrap Fee Program, Transac,on Fees, and Other Expenses We offer some of our services as a “wrap fee program”, with opOons to allocate investments to stocks, exchange traded funds, model porSolios, 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 addiOonal informaOon on our wrap fee program. Under the wrap fee programs, investment advice and costs of trade execuOons 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. The Client’s Investment Advisor is responsible for monitoring for best execuOon and reviewing and determining whether our services and investment 20 of 74 “Trade-away” fees for fund’s investment management Qualified custodian Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) has agreed to waive execuOon fees for our PlaSorm Clients’ transacOons executed by transacOons Schwab. submimed to a custodian other than Schwab will sOll be assessed. Clients in our wrap fee program do not pay these “Trade-away” fees on a transacOon-by- transacOon basis as they are included in the wrap fee program fee. We took this into consideraOon when pricing our wrap fee program at such custodian. Our fee is in addiOon to the operaOng expenses of the funds included in Client accounts, which are expressed as the fund’s “expense raOo”. A fund expense raOo represents the percentage of the fund’s assets used to operate the fund and reflects the fee, administraOve costs, brokerage costs, distribuOon fees, and other operaOng 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 raOos of the funds included in the program (which are set forth in the prospectus for each fund) when deciding whether the DesOnaOons program may be more or less costly than another investment program. impose transacOon fees. Our fee Technology We offer our services through a technology plaSorm known as “Advisor Portal.” Advisor Portal is a technology plaSorm that was developed by our affiliate, Orion Tech and allows for proposal generaOon, account opening, trading, reporOng, and billing from one dashboard. ETF shares incur transacOon expenses, which are paid to the custodian either as a separate transacOon 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 DesOnaOons ETFh strategies, we purchase the available mutual fund share class with the lowest internal expense raOo (generally the “InsOtuOonal” class), which share class may for DesOnaOons ETFh includes an asset-based fee paid to the custodian to cover transacOon costs (see “DesOnaOon Program Fees” under Item 5 – Fees and CompensaOon of this Brochure). This enables us to make investment decisions for DesOnaOons ETFh accounts without regard to transacOon costs. Recordkeeping Services OPS provides recordkeeping services for reOrement plans who wish to make OPS’s Strategist Program available to their plan’s parOcipants. Des@na@ons Funds We serve as the investment advisor for each series of the Brinker Capital DesOnaOons Trust, a registered investment company (each, a “DesOnaOons Fund” and collecOvely, the “DesOnaOons Funds”). A current list of the DesOnaOons Funds can be found at desOnaOonsfunds.com. Trading acOvity is influenced by the frequency of rebalances, contribuOons, and withdrawals. The more infrequent the trading acOvity (determined by fund changes and rebalances and Client addiOons 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 transacOon charge. Since trading acOvity is dictated by mulOple factors, including changes in funds in a Client’s DesOnaOons ETFh porSolio (e.g., because of our performance evaluaOons, changes in managers, funds closing to new investment, etc.), and the frequency of deposits and distribuOons (which are driven by Clients), it may be difficult to predict the level of trading acOvity in any year (and thus, whether the asset-based fee would be more or less costly than a separate transacOon charge). Each DesOnaOons 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 invesOng the assets allocated to them. We may also allocate a porOon of a DesOnaOons Fund’s assets to one or more ETF and mutual funds. Each DesOnaOons Fund is offered by its prospectus only. The prospectus for investment each DesOnaOons Fund includes 21 of 74 risks, which are the overall lower cost alternaOve for those OPS and BCI PlaSorm Clients. fees, expenses, and other objecOves, informaOon that prospecOve investors should read and consider carefully before invesOng. fees charged by The sub-transfer agent fees that may be charged to Clients invested through a third-party plaSorm may be more or less than the 15 basis points sub-transfer agency fee charged by the DesOnaOons Funds’ custodian with respect to the Class I shares. Each broker-dealer or financial advisor who holds accounts outside of the OPS or BCI PlaSorms 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 DesOnaOons Funds on the OPS and BCI PlaSorms as part of our advisory services. In addiOon, the DesOnaOons Funds are offered on the plaSorms of unaffiliated broker-dealers and sponsors. The custodians for such third-party plaSorms onen impose certain custody and clearing fees for administraOve services provided to Client accounts (“sub-transfer agent fees”) separate from the sub-transfer agent the DesOnaOons Funds’ custodian. The DesOnaOons Funds offer two classes of shares: Class I and Class Z. Class Z shares are offered to Clients that invest through a third-party plaSorm that may charge an external sub-transfer agent fee. AddiOonally, we use only our DesOnaOons Funds in our DesOnaOons Program. DesOnaOons Funds may have higher ongoing operaOng expenses (and thus higher expense raOos) than unaffiliated funds available in other investment programs. Accordingly, the DesOnaOons Program, which uses DesOnaOons Funds exclusively, may be more costly than other mutual fund allocaOon programs that uOlize funds with lower expense raOos. The expense raOo for Class I shares is approximately 15 basis points (0.15%) higher than the expense raOo for Class Z shares. The 15 basis point difference represents sub-transfer agent fees a DesOnaOons Fund pays to its custodian with respect to Class I shares for administraOve services provided to Client accounts. Clients invested in the Class Z shares do not pay this sub-transfer agent fee to the fund custodian, as the broker-dealer or financial advisor for the Client’s account assumes responsibility for these services and their related expenses, onen charging its own sub-transfer agent fee. Shares of the DesOnaOons Funds available to parOcipants in our advisory programs are InsOtuOonal share classes that do not pay Rule 12b-1 fees or other similar distribuOon or transacOon expenses. With respect to proprietary models that invest in third-party funds and the DesOnaOons Funds, Brinker purchases the available third-party fund share class with the lowest internal expense raOo (generally the “InsOtuOonal” class). However, these third-party funds may impose transacOon fees in connecOon with the purchase or sale of shares. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2025, we managed $53,421,780,525 of Client assets on a discreOonary basis and $11,420,354,826 of Client assets on a non- discreOonary basis. For the remaining assets on our plaSorm, we provide services, but do not provide administraOve If we invest Client accounts in Class Z shares as opposed to Class I shares, our custodian would charge the Client a separate custody and clearing fee. Generally, that fee would be more than the 15 basis points sub-transfer agent fee that the Class I shares pay to the DesOnaOons Funds’ custodian. The fee would depend on account size and would include a minimum fee, which would significantly increase the effecOve rate for smaller accounts. Consequently, we determined that the overall cost for Clients on the OPS and BCI PlaSorms would be greater than the cost associated with an investment in Class I shares. For these reasons, we invest asset on the OPS and BCI PlaSorms in Class I shares of the DesOnaOons Funds, 22 of 74 investment advice regarding these assets or have investment discreOon over these assets. 23 of 74 Item 5 – Fees and CompensaCon Our fee structure varies between the OPS and BCI PlaSorms. The primary fee is split in the following manner: General We will assess and collect Clients fees for the services provided to them by ourselves, the Strategists, and the Client’s Investment Advisor in the manner authorized by the Client. OPS Pla$orm AdministraOve 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 someOmes be referred to as a “PlaSorm 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 addiOon to the AdministraOve 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 soliciOng 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. as disOnct households. A household is defined as all custodian accounts at the same residenOal address. Fees for our WTS PlaSorm are negoOable and vary based on the types of services we are engaged to provide to the Investment Advisor firm. Monthly Billing Generally, for offerings on our OPS PlaSorm, 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 Oered schedule. Accounts will not be consolidated if they were iniOally structured Quarterly Billing Generally, for offerings on our BCI PlaSorm, we bill quarterly in advance. When billing in advance, the iniOal 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. Thereaner, 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 24 of 74 situaOon is selected, Clients cannot designate an account subject to ERISA as the paying account for fees associated with non-ERISA accounts. also be billed for addiOonal monies added to their account during the advisory fee period. No adjustments to the Client advisory fee will be made for monies withdrawn during the advisory fee period. Upon terminaOon, 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 relaOonship type. See Item 4 – Advisory Business for a descripOon of the various relaOonship types we offer. Sub-Advisory In a sub-advisory relaOonship, 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 porOon of the fee and the porOon of the fee due to any Strategist (as applicable), and remit the remaining porOon to the Investment Advisor. AlternaOvely, 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. Re,rement Plan Services Billing See "ReOrement Plan Services Program Fees" below for a discussion of fees for the RPS program. 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 redempOon of mutual fund shares or deducOon 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 deducOng the fees. Clients can select to have one account from which all fees for their household are deducted.

Fees are negoOable between us and the Client. In addiOon to the fees in this chart, Clients will be assessed a Strategist/Strategy fee and an Investment Advisor fee. 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. 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 parOcular custodian may offer a lower cost share class, but it will not be used in the strategy because not all of the other available custodians offer that share class for the strategy. Other Fee Informa@on The following secOons outline important addiOonal informaOon relaOng to our fees. The Investment Advisor fee is negoOated between a Investment Advisor and may Client and their represent either an advisory fee or a solicitor fee, depending on the Investment Advisor’s relaOonship with us. Fee Distribu,on We distribute a porOon of the Brinker Fee Component to certain Investment Advisors who have significant assets invested in our PlaSorms or for other reasons, at our discreOon. The amount of any distribuOon is individually negoOated with each Investment Advisor. Any Brinker Fee Component distributed to an Investment Advisor is retained by that Investment Advisor and does not consOtute a reducOon in the Brinker Fee Component for Clients. 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 addiOon, a fee summary is available to Clients through our website. Fees charged by us are separate and disOnct 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 Fee Changes We may amend our fee schedule upon at least 30 days’ prior wrimen noOce. 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 allocaOon of an account among Strategists, specific Strategist selecOon, and the number of 27 of 74 Ome 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 Ome, to (orion.com/wealth-management). Custodian Services Custodian services will be provided by a qualified custodian, including our affiliate, ConstellaOon Trust Company (“CTC”). Please refer to Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcOviOes and AffiliaOons of this Brochure for more informaOon 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. Termina,on of Services and Termina,on Fees We can terminate our advisory services with a Client at any Ome by providing wrimen noOce. Likewise, a Client can terminate our services at any Ome by providing us with wrimen noOce. If a Client’s use of our services is terminated within (5) five business days from the date of incepOon, all fees paid by the Client in advance will be promptly refunded and no terminaOon fee will be charged. Should a Client’s agreement be terminated at any other Ome, the Client will receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees. The current TerminaOon Fee is $75 per account for full outgoing distribuOons or non-ACAT transfers. The TerminaOon Fee may be discounted for Clients of Investment Advisors who have a significant amount of assets invested on our PlaSorms. Any discount is individually negoOated with each Investment Advisor at our discreOon. AddiOonal account terminaOon fees may be charged by the custodian. Compensa,on Our porSolio manager personnel compensaOon includes an annual base salary and a discreOonary bonus, which may be based on various factors including performance metrics and firm profitability. Our sales personnel receive compensaOon based on new assets subject to our services and are eligible for bonuses based on redempOons or terminaOons. These compensaOon structures create an incenOve for our financial professionals to recommend that Clients increase the size of their assets managed by us (or not terminate), even when alternaOves exist. Certain professionals have an equity interest in our parent company, GT Polaris Holdings, LP, which creates a general incenOve for these professionals to grow firm revenue, including through asset growth and plaSorm uOlizaOon. Upon terminaOon, 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 unOl the terminaOon of the agreement. Orion Investment Portal We receive compensaOon 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 Ome such Clients engaged us for advisory services, and any subsequent amendments thereto. Our proprietary strategies are available within the Orion Investment Portal plaSorm. Pricing for such Strategies may vary compared to the pricing on the Orion PorSolio SoluOons PlaSorm and Brinker Capital Investments PlaSorm listed above. 28 of 74 For more informaOon about the Orion CommuniOes plaSorm, please refer to Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure. balance in the account, regardless of the proporOon of the account allocated to their proprietary products. AddiOonally, we have a conflict in that we are compensated based on the Strategist selected. This conflict is miOgated as Clients and their Investment Advisor, not us, are responsible for selecOng the most suitable porSolio for Clients. We do not provide advice or recommendaOons regarding porSolio selecOons. Market Cycle Advised Mandates Por(olios The unaffiliated Strategists whose funds or models are uOlized within the MCAM PorSolios pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in the MCAM PorSolios. AddiOonally, we uOlize the DesOnaOons Funds in the MCAM PorSolios. We have a conflict as each Strategist may expect that a porOon of the total assets in the porSolios be allocated to their funds or models. To miOgate this conflict, we manage the investment MCAM PorSolios based upon their objecOves, our long-term capital forecasts and limit the allocaOon of the models to the DesOnaOons Funds-. Further, Clients and their Investment Advisor, not us, are responsible for selecOng the most suitable porSolio for Clients. We do not provide advice or recommendaOons regarding porSolio selecOons. Des,na,ons Funds Program We use Affiliated Funds exclusively in our DesOnaOons Funds program. The Affiliated Funds may have higher ongoing expenses than unaffiliated mutual funds. In evaluaOng the overall cost of the DesOnaOons program as compared to other investment programs, Clients should note that we receive advisory fees as the investment advisor in DesOnaOons Funds. Because we receive advisory fees as the Investment Advisor to the DesOnaOon Funds, we do not charge the AdministraOve Fee or Brinker Fee Component for the porOon of any DesOnaOons porSolio account allocated to the DesOnaOons Funds. However, because we receive advisory fees in connecOon with the DesOnaOons program, we have an incenOve to recommend the DesOnaOons program to the extent that we receive a greater porOon of the Total Fee charged than we do in other programs. The fee for our DesOnaOons ETFh program includes an asset-based fee to cover transacOon costs, which may be more costly for larger accounts with relaOvely low trading acOvity than a program that imposes a separate charge on each share transacOon. Tailored Alloca,on Por(olios The unaffiliated Strategists whose mutual funds or ETFs are uOlized within the Tailored AllocaOon PorSolios pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in the Tailored AllocaOon PorSolios program. Brinker Blended Por(olios The advisors to the unaffiliated mutual funds and ETFs uOlized within the Brinker Blended PorSolios may pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in such porSolios. We have a conflict because the fees received by us vary based upon the funds proporOon of such funds uOlized within the porSolios. To miOgate this conflict, we manage the Brinker Blended PorSolios based upon their investment objecOves and our long-term capital forecasts and limit the proporOon of the porSolios allocated to the non-affiliated funds which pay us a fee to between 25% and 35% of the total porSolio allocaOon. We have a conflict as we might be inclined to transiOon the Client’s assets into the Strategist’s proprietary products more quickly than the Client otherwise would. This is miOgated by a contractual understanding that the holdings in the account will be selected based on the desires and needs of the investor and any allocaOon and trading will be done based on the capital gains budgets and transiOon plans idenOfied to us by the Investor or their Advisor. Further, the Strategists pay us based on the enOre The advisors of unaffiliated funds included in the program who pay us a fee in exchange for inclusion in this program are: 29 of 74 • Main Management, LLC above average transacOon volume due to frequent addiOons or liquidaOons.

The current Ocket charge is $30.00 per trade for fixed income and mutual funds and $8 per trade for equiOes and ETF’s, which may be changed from Ome to Ome. No separate Ocket charge is imposed on transacOons when Clients have selected the asset-based fee, which uOlizes the Core Fixed Income custody and clearing fee schedule. Unsupervised Asset Fee As an accommodaOon to a Client, we may permit a Client securiOes their account or, (“Unsupervised Assets”) alternaOvely, at the Client’s discreOon, in a separate account established with the custodian, for which we do not provide allocaOon, porSolio asset management, or performance monitoring services. Clients will be charged any clearing fees or transacOon charges imposed by the custodian or brokerage firm in accordance with its fee schedule in effect from Ome to Ome, which fees and charges will be deducted from the Client’s account at the Ome of the transacOon giving rise to the charge, or at such other Ome as determined by the custodian.

If this applies to the strategy Clients select, it will be disclosed in the Client’s ApplicaOon Addendum or investment advisory agreement, as applicable. In addiOon, 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 porOon of the fees they collect from mutual funds they manage with us. Below are the Strategists who share these fees with us: 30 of 74 • Advanced Asset Management Advisors • Focus Partners Advisor Solutions fka Buckingham Strategic Partners • Horizon Investments • Meeder Investment Management • Toews Corporation • Ocean Park Asset Management • Clark Capital • iMGP All Strategists on our plaSorm have the opportunity to pay us a fee for, among other services, markeOng 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 incenOve to conOnue to recommend the Strategists who pay us such a fee for the Strategist Program. AddiOonally, Strategists may refer or recommend their clients to invest via our plaSorm. This arrangement creates an incenOve for us to keep these Strategists over others that we may be considering. To miOgate these conflicts, our Investment Due Diligence Commimee does not take revenue sharing payments into account when 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 plaSorm. The amount of the discount individually negoOated with each Investment Advisor at our discreOon. Investment Advisor, may vary. Please refer to the Client investment advisory agreement, including amached 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 negoOated at our discreOon and fees for customized investment strategies developed for a Client are negoOated on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, from Ome-to-Ome we offer program- wide fee discounts and reduced account minimums as part of markeOng and promoOonal programs. Such programs may be iniOated or disconOnued at our discreOon. 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 gained by managing mulOple Clients for the same Investment Advisor, and our relaOonship 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 negoOate a flat fee schedule may or may not pay a higher fee than those who pay under a Oered 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 PlaSorms can purchase from us data containing aggregate informaOon regarding the Investment Advisors who are researching or recommending their strategies or models. AddiOonal informaOon regarding this can be found in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcOviOes and AffiliaOons of this Brochure. Promo,onal Fee Discounts From Ome to Ome, we may offer promoOonal fee discounts to the Client’s Investment Advisor (either individually or in a group of similar investment advisors).

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 investment advisory agreement. If there is a co- advisor, the Investment Advisor’s Fee is paid in addiOon to the Brinker Fee Component. * Note: Total Plan Account Value represents the porOon of the Plan assets managed by or through our RPS program. The fee schedule is not Oered. 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 wrimen noOce to Plan Sponsor. Accounts above $10 million are priced separately. We also may negoOate 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 administraOve services. Mutual funds and ETFs incur management fees and other operaOng fees and expenses, which are in addiOon 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 iniOally opened. In the event of terminaOon of the account, the fees will be adjusted, on a pro rata basis, to reflect the porOon of the final quarter in which terminaOon occurs. Brinker Fund Fee Offset Advisory fees paid to us or our affiliates by any fund advised by us or our affiliates, including any to a Plan’s DesOnaOons 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 32 of 74 changes to the advisory fees paid to us or our affiliate by fund(s) advised by us or our affiliate. 33 of 74 Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management performance fee accounts is that we could devote more Ome and amenOon to performance fee accounts than to accounts under an asset-based fee arrangement. AddiOonally, performance-based fees create an incenOve for an advisor such as to recommend investments that may be riskier or more speculaOve than those that would be recommended under a different fee arrangement. Since we endeavor at all Omes 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 prospecOve Clients the existence of material conflicts of interest, including the potenOal for our firm and earn more its compensaOon from some Clients than others. 2. We have implemented wrimen policies and procedures for fair and consistent allocaOon of investment opportuniOes among all Clients. We charge certain insOtuOonal endowment Clients a performance fee, which is based upon a share of capital gains or capital appreciaOon 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 regulaOons. In addiOon, it is our policy not to retain any fees charged and to pass performance-based through any collected performance-based fees to third parOes that provide investment research and/or advisory services to us in connecOon 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 idenOfy significant performance dispariOes indicaOve of possible favorable treatment. interest we 4. We educate our employees regarding the responsibiliOes of a fiduciary, including the equitable treatment of all Clients, regardless of the fee arrangement. 5. Only Clients that are able to assume addiOonal 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 potenOal conflicts of face by managing performance-based accounts at the same Ome as managing asset based, non-performance based accounts. For example, the nature of a performance fee poses an opportunity for us to earn more compensaOon 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 34 of 74 Item 7 – Types of Clients municipal government enOOes. 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 idenOfied above through an arrangement where Investment Advisors refer such Clients to us. This is referred to herein as a “solicitor” relaOonship. We primarily provide investment management and recordkeeping services to Investment Advisors and their Clients. These Investment Advisors use our OPS PlaSorm and BCI PlaSorm to service their Clients. Such Clients may include individuals, banks or thrin insOtuOons, pension, reOrement, 529 educaOonal savings and profit-sharing plans (other than plan parOcipants), endowments, other pooled investment insOtuOons, vehicles, trusts, estates, charitable corporaOons and other business enOOes, and state or 35 of 74 Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss In addiOon to the informaOon below, see the response to Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure for the methods of analysis, investment strategies, and risk involved in each of the services offered by us. InvesOng in securiOes involves risk of loss that Clients should be prepared to bear. Quan,ta,ve Analysis Using mathemaOcal models, staOsOcal techniques, and computaOonal algorithms to analyze financial data. It involves examining data to idenOfy pamerns, trends, and correlaOons, building models to assess and miOgate risks, and selecOng a mix of assets for porSolio management. 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 QuanOtaOve Analysis arises from inaccurate assumpOons or poor-quality data, leading to unreliable predicOons. AddiOonally, overfilng occurs when models are too closely tailored to historical data, reducing their effecOveness for future predicOons. Market changes can render models based on past data obsolete, as they may not account for sudden or unprecedented events Char,ng Analysis Gathering and processing of price and volume pamern informaOon for a parOcular security, sector, broad index or commodity. This price and volume pamern informaOon is analyzed. The resulOng pamern and correlaOon data is used to detect departures from expected performance and diversificaOon 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 experOse of the company's management, and the outlook for the company and its industry. The resulOng data is used to measure the true value of the company's stock compared to the current market value. Risk: Our charOng analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. reflect all Current prices of securiOes may informaOon known about the security and day-to- day changes in market prices of securiOes may follow random pamerns and may not be predictable with any reliable degree of accuracy. trends Technical Analysis and Studying past price pamerns, interrelaOonships in the financial markets to assess risk-adjusted performance and predict the direcOon of both the overall market and specific securiOes. Risk: The risk of fundamental analysis is that informaOon obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate esOmate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If securiOes prices adjust rapidly to new informaOon, uOlizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance. price pamerns and Cyclical Analysis A type of technical analysis that involves evaluaOng trends. recurring Economic/business cycles may not be predictable and may have many fluctuaOons between long-term expansions and contracOons. Risk: The risk of market Oming based on technical analysis is that our analysis may not accurately detect anomalies or predict future price movements. Current prices of securiOes may reflect all informaOon known about the security and day-to- day changes in market prices of securiOes may follow random pamerns 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 36 of 74 is the difficulty announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of Omes. in predicOng cyclical analysis economic trends and consequently the changing value of securiOes that would be affected by these changing trends. Modern Por(olio Theory A theory of investment which amempts to maximize porSolio expected return for a given amount of porSolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, by carefully diversifying the proporOons of various assets. Short Sales Unlike a straighSorward investment in stocks where you buy shares with the expectaOon 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 regulaOons in place regarding short selling. Risk: Market risk is that part of a security's risk that is common to all securiOes of the same general class (stocks and bonds) and thus cannot be eliminated by diversificaOon. Long-Term Purchases SecuriOes purchased with the expectaOon that the value of those securiOes will grow over a relaOvely long period of Ome, generally greater than one year. Risk: Short selling is very risky. Investors should exercise extreme cauOon 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 potenOal 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 parOcular investment will go down over Ome even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be bemer uOlized in the short-term in other investments. Short-Term Purchases SecuriOes purchased with the expectaOon that they will be sold within a relaOvely short period of Ome, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securiOes' short-term price fluctuaOons. Risk: A short seller has to undertake to pay the earnings on the borrowed securiOes as long as the short seller chooses to keep the short posiOon 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 enOre 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 securiOes. If the broker makes this call when the stock price is much higher than the price at the Ome 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 disproporOonately higher amount of transacOon 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 37 of 74 substanOal, especially if short posiOons 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 fracOon of a percent to more than 100% of the value of the short trade. The hard-to-borrow rate can fluctuate substanOally on a daily basis; therefore, the exact dollar amount of the fee may not be known in advance, and may be substanOal.   Trading We may use frequent trading (in general, selling securiOes within 30 days of purchasing the same securiOes) 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 objecOves and tolerance for risk. This may include buying and selling securiOes frequently in an effort to capture significant market gains and avoid significant losses. Margin Transac,ons A securiOes transacOon 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 negaOvely affected, parOcularly through increased brokerage and other transacOonal 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 porOon 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 uOlize a combinaOon of qualitaOve and idenOfy, evaluate, and quanOtaOve monitor the strategies made available on our PlaSorms. The quanOtaOve analysis focuses on the performance of the strategies relaOve to benchmarks and peers, porSolio 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 qualitaOve analysis reviews the breadth and depth of resources of operaOons of the Investment Manager, including organizaOonal history, investment team experience, firm size and ownership structure investment philosophy and process client servicing capabiliOes, relaOonship with us, and other characterisOcs. Op,on Wri,ng A securiOes transacOon that involves selling an opOon. An opOon is a contract that gives the buyer the right, but not the obligaOon, to buy or sell a parOcular security at a specified price on or before the expiraOon date of the opOon. When an investor sells a call opOon, he or she must deliver to the buyer a specified number of shares if the buyer exercises the opOon. When an investor sells a put opOon, he or she must pay the strike price per share if the buyer exercises the opOon, and will receive the specified number of shares. The opOon writer/seller receives a premium (the market price of the opOon at a parOcular Ome) in exchange for wriOng the opOon. Risk: OpOons are complex investments and can be very risky, especially if the investor does not own the underlying stock. In certain situaOons, an investor's risk can be unlimited. Our Investment Due Diligence Commimee oversees the Investment Manager due diligence, selecOon and monitoring processes.

Orion Investment Portal All of the Strategists and Strategist Models available on our OPS PlaSorm are available to the investment advisory firms and their representaOves that are uOlizing the porSolio accounOng and other technology tools offered through our affiliate, Orion Tech. We make addiOonal 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. To monitor Investment Managers and manage the strategies on the plaSorm, we uOlize various third- party analyOcal sonware. Also, we use a proprietary risk scoring methodology. This tool assists Advisors in Investment Manager developing and selecOng strategies by assigning a risk score to each strategy on our PlaSorms. The tool helps Investment Advisors with porSolio construcOon and asset allocaOon. As a Client’s Investment Advisor determines the investment strategy to uOlize based on the Client’s investment needs, Clients should consult their Advisor’s Form ADV Part 2A for a full descripOon of their investment analysis to determine how the strategy selected best suits the Clients investment needs and risk tolerance. This limited due diligence consists of a quanOtaOve review of the Strategy and, if applicable, the 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.

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 securiOes. These strategies seek to replicate the risk/return profile of the index or strategy being targeted and can create tax alpha by harvesOng tax losses to offset taxes on capital gains as well as provide comprehensive tax transiOons. Discre@onary Programs As menOoned above, in addiOon to third-party Investment Manager strategies, we make available certain strategies that are managed internally. The plaSorm provides porSolios managed by our porSolio management team using mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and other exchange-traded products. In addiOon, the OPS PlaSorm offers the MCAM (Market Cycle Advised Mandate) PorSolios which are also managed by us and are composed of third-party and proprietary funds. Our Investment Manager investment due diligence team and Investment Due Diligence Commimee do not review our proprietary strategies. Investment Analysis for Solicitor Clients The following informaOon relates to the Method of Analysis and investment strategies for Clients introduced to us under a solicitor arrangement, as described in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure. strategy that accounts for Indexing Equity Long/Short The Orion Custom Strategy described in Item 4 uOlizes a customized long/short overlay and seeks to provide pre-tax and aner-tax excess returns through acOve stock selecOon and tax-loss harvesOng while maintaining the investment characterisOcs of the Client’s desired market exposure. Because the strategy may use both long and short posiOons, it involves addiOonal risks beyond tradiOonal long-only equity strategies or other Orion Custom Indexing strategies, including market risk, idiosyncraOc or company-specific risk, short-sale risk, borrow and short squeeze risk, leverage risk, and borrow rate risk. These risks may result in losses, increased costs, unexpected porSolio outcomes, or the need to purchase securiOes in the open market at prices significantly above the proceeds received from a short sale. Investment Strategy Development CriOcal to the success of any investment plan is a well-defined risk tolerance, risk capacity, risk composure, Ome horizons, rate of return targets, and liquidity needs. We use an investment strategy quesOonnaire (also called a Risk Tolerance QuesOonnaire or Risk Tolerance Assessment) to assist in developing a recommended or suggested investment strategy for each Client. harvesOng or other Indexing Equity Long/Short The Orion Custom Strategy may involve addiOonal tax consideraOons, and any expected tax benefits, including from tax- loss tax-management techniques, are not guaranteed and may not be suitable for every Client.

The risk associated with each investment is carefully considered before it is added to a Client’s porSolio. Under Risk BudgeOng, Clients are assigned a Risk Budget and each security is assigned a risk value primarily based on volaOlity. The Risk Budget is expressed as a percentage of the risk relaOve to a diversified equity porSolio benchmark. For example, a Risk Budget of 100 would represent a porSolio with a risk similar to 100% of the risk of a diversified equity porSolio and a porSolio with a Risk Budget of 60 would represent a porSolio with a risk similar to 60% of the risk of a diversified equity porSolio. Within the constraints of the Risk Budget that Clients select, we idenOfy amracOve market acOvely opportuniOes. Our Risk BudgeOng Methodology is flexible enough to be applied to a broad variety of levels, from aggressive to Client risk comfort conservaOve. When creaOng 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 Ome horizon, liquidity needs, tax bracket, and account type. We also consider a Client’s level of investable assets and desired level of investment discreOon in recommending programs. recommendaOons directly to Within the RPS program, we offer an investment strategy quesOonnaire that Plan sponsors can share with Plan parOcipants to help them choose a suitable investment strategy.

When a parOcular investment recommendaOon creates a conflict of interest, the investment team member, Investment Commimee member, Investment Due Diligence Commimee member will (i) ensure the nature and extent of his or her interest is fully disclosed prior to the transacOon, including disclosure of any direct or the indirect team member, Commimee member, Investment Due Diligence Commimee member, and/or we receive in connecOon with the transacOon and (ii) make the recommendaOon only if he or she has a reasonable belief that the transacOon is in the Client’s best interest. Asset Alloca,on Process For solicitor Clients, once we have created an investment strategy profile, the solicitor creates an asset allocaOon that aligns Client objecOves with investment strategies using investment disciplines that are suitable for achieving the Client’s stated goals, which we then review. For discreOonary porSolios, each program will be managed within the stated ranges for each major asset class. With respect to any investment recommendaOon, neither the Asset AllocaOon Commimee or we nor Investment Commimee members favor one Client or group of Clients at the expense of other Clients. Our parent company, Orion Advisor SoluOons, Inc.

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 objecOves 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 inflaOon risk. The underlying value of the instruments within the money market fund may change depending on the direcOon of interest rates. Under our current fee schedules, the amount of fees we receive does not change based upon the allocaOon of assets in a Client’s account among Strategists and/or funds, which we believe eliminates incenOve or conflict with respect to the any allocaOon of assets in a Client’s account. We uOlize only our DesOnaOons Funds in our DesOnaOons Funds models, for which we serve as the advisor and receive an advisory fee from the DesOnaOons Funds. This creates a potenOal conflict of interest, which we seek to miOgate by excluding the DesOnaOons Funds when calculaOng the Brinker Fee Component and AdministraOon Fees, as applicable, for accounts in the DesOnaOons models. See also Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcOviOes and AffiliaOons of this Brochure. No Guarantee The value of a Client investment could decline and be worth less than the principal iniOally invested. And while a money market fund seeks a stable share price, its yield fluctuates. In addiOon, 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 Ome. Risks Performance could be impacted by a number of different market risks including but not limited to: Loss of Capital All of our programs are subject to general market risk. Any investment in the securiOes is subject to risk of loss of capital. The value of the porSolio will fluctuate based upon changes in value of the underlying securiOes. Investments are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance CorporaOon. As discussed in Item 5 – Fees and CompensaOon of this Brochure, we may retain a porOon of the Strategist Fee / Strategy Fee Component of a strategy, or otherwise receive compensaOon from a Strategist. In addiOon, as discussed in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcOviOes and AffiliaOons, Strategists may provide support payments for markeOng 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 miOgate 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. CompensaOon 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 PorSolios may change in response to the movement of interest rates.

Generally, investment risk and price volaOlity increase as a security’s credit raOng declines. is responsible Execu@on Delay Risk In our ReOrement Plan Services program, we provide instrucOons regarding mutual funds and ETFs included in the asset allocaOon models for the RPS program and the weighOngs thereof. Changes to those models result in the purchase and sale of mutual funds and ETFs for parOcipant accounts. for However, the recordkeeper implemenOng mutual fund and ETF sales and purchases and there may be a delay in the execuOon of BCI’s instrucOons by the Recordkeeper and/or the custodian. Any such delay could be significant and could adversely affect the investment performance of the parOcipant’s account. Deriva’ves Risk DerivaOves, such as opOons, futures and swaps, can be volaOle, and a small investment in a derivaOve can have a large impact on the performance of the porSolio. Other risks of investments in derivaOves include imperfect correlaOon between the value of these instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivaOve transacOons; risks that the transacOons may result in losses that parOally or completely offset gains in porSolio posiOons; and risks that the derivaOve transacOons may not be liquid. 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 securiOes or uOlizes specific investment strategies that pose such risks. Foreign Risk Foreign investments are subject to the same risks as domesOc investments and addiOonal risks, including internaOonal trade, currency, poliOcal, regulatory and diplomaOc risks, which may affect their value. Also, foreign securiOes are subject to the risk that their market price may not reflect the issuer’s condiOon because there is not sufficient publicly available informaOon about the issuer. that Clients are considering Alterna@ve Investments AlternaOve 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 speculaOve and involve substanOal 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 alternaOve investment for investment. Leverage Risk Certain transacOons, such as reverse repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, loans of porSolio securiOes, and the use of when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transacOons, may give rise to leverage, causing a porSolio to be more volaOle than if it had not been leveraged. Alterna@ve Investment Mutual Funds AlternaOve investment mutual funds are speculaOve and involve substanOal 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 alternaOve mutual fund that Clients are considering for investment in a Strategist Model. Liquidity Risk Certain securiOes eligible for investment by the porSolio may be deemed to be illiquid under applicable law.

BCS receives no commissions in connecOon with securiOes transacOons in wrap fee accounts for which it acts as introducing broker. Other Registra@ons Neither we nor any of our management persons are registered or have applicaOons pending to register, as a futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator, a commodity trading advisor or an associated person of the foregoing enOOes. Constella,on Trust Company ("CTC") CTC is a Nebraska chartered trust company and our subsidiary. Some of our execuOve 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 Clients. CTC has established electronic interfaces and capabiliOes necessary to maintain and aggregate custodial records and reporOng for Clients invested across various investment plaSorms.

Trades for BCI Client accounts custodied at CTC are effected via the NaOonal SecuriOes Clearing CorporaOon through arrangements with third parOes, including Matrix Semlement and Clearance Services, LLC ("Matrix") and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. The DesOnaOons 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 distribuOon and/or shareholder servicing related assistance associated with making a Client's investments in such funds. Our policies and pracOces with respect to selecOng share classes for accounts invested in programs that are held at CTC or any other custodian, are described in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure. CTC receives 12b-1 fees from mutual funds held in some Client accounts. Mutual Fund Transac,on Fees In the Core Asset Manager, DesOnaOons ETFh, and Wealth Advisory programs, we have the choice of using either non-transacOon fee (“NTF”) funds or transacOon fee funds. While transacOon fee funds generally have a lower expense raOo to the Client than an NTF fund, the clearing and custody costs paid by us are higher for transacOon 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 incenOve to select NTF funds in order to reduce the clearing and custody fees for Client accounts, instead of selecOng transacOon fee funds that may have a lower expense raOo to the Client. In order to address this potenOal 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.

We uOlize Orion Des,na,ons Funds We in the DesOnaOons Funds invest accounts program in DesOnaOons Funds, for which we serve as the investment advisor. As investment advisor to the DesOnaOons Funds we receive an advisory fee, which presents a potenOal conflict of interest. We do not employ the same due diligence procedures that we apply to other fund managers and Strategists in evaluaOng the DesOnaOons Funds. However, our decisions with respect to the selecOon, allocaOon of assets, and terminaOon of a sub-advisors of the DesOnaOons Funds are subject to the oversight and 47 of 74 approval of the Board of Trustees of the DesOnaOons Funds (a majority of which are unaffiliated with us).

Investment Advisors at events we approve, and access to other funcOons we sponsor and approve. Even though qualifying representaOves do not receive addiOonal cash compensaOon directly from us through the EAN Program, qualifying representaOves may have an incenOve to refer Clients to invest with us so that they may qualify or requalify for the EAN Program.

We do not consider a Strategist’s parOcipaOon in this program when making Strategist or Strategy recommendaOons to Clients, approving or removing a Strategist or Strategy through our Investment Due Diligence Commimee, 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, and Redtail Technology, (collecOvely our “Technology Affiliates”) offer technology soluOons to investment advisors, which may include the co- advisor Investment Advisor on Client accounts with us, or the solicitor Investment Advisor who introduced the Client to us. in our Our Technology Affiliates have collecOvely created a program for third party investment advisors in which eligible Investment Advisors receive a reducOon in fees owed to our Technology Affiliates when they provide addiOonal advisory services. The total investment amount of assets managed advisory programs is also a factor in determining the amount of the fee reducOon in certain instances. As such, an Investment Advisor may have a reducOon in their costs to uOlize our Technology Affiliates’ services based on their Clients’ collecOve 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 porOon of the fees the Investment Advisors pay to our Technology Affiliates, nor do these fee reducOons apply to the fees paid by the Client for the advisory services we offer.

Benefits that qualifying representaOves receive through the EAN Program vary by Oer, but may include, but are not limited to: enhanced training for the representaOve and his or her staff, access to our staff, enhanced client applicaOon processing and handling, business transiOon services, markeOng support, increased discounts on value-added technology services, expense reimbursement for travel to and amendance 48 of 74 certain third-party service providers on Orion Tech’s plaSorm for which Orion Tech receives revenue for the services it provides to support the integraOon creates a conflict as we are encouraged to refer or recommend those services which would generate more revenue for Orion Tech.

Custodian Conflicts For a discussion of the potenOal 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 PracOces 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 violaOons of applicable law. into an Our affiliate, Orion Tech, has entered arrangement where DPL will share a porOon 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 supporOng the integraOon with the DPL PlaSorm. We do not receive any porOon 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 solicitaOon or sales of the insurance products through the DPL PlaSorm. IntegraOon Systems (“CAIS”), Third Party Technology Services Arrangements We uOlize the investment advisor technology plaSorm created by our affiliate, Orion Tech. This plaSorm is available to other, unaffiliated investment advisors and features integrated third-party services available through unaffiliated financial technology providers, creaOng 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 plaSorm. 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 alternaOve providers. Nevertheless, the inclusion of Capital Integra@on Systems Capital itself and through its subsidiaries, offers a plaSorm for the purchase of private placements and other non- traded assets. CAIS is unaffiliated with us or any of 49 of 74 or BCI PlaSorms, will have access to UpOq’s financial insOtuOon partners that offer the lending- and deposit-related products listed below (collecOvely, the “Financial Products”). In each case, access to the Financial Products is made available to a financial advisor so that the financial advisor may idenOfy one or more selected banking insOtuOons that can offer to the Client certain Financial Products desired by the Client. Such Financial Products currently consist of the following: • Mortgage Loans — Loans relaOng to residenOal purchases, refinancing, HELOC, and construcOon 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 uOlize Orion Tech’s technology, including OPS or BCI PlaSorm Clients. Orion Tech will receive no fee unOl the value of such assets exceeds $100 million, and the size of the fee will increase unOl the value of such assets exceeds $500 million, at which Ome the fee will not increase. However, as the fee is based on the value of the assets on the plaSorm, the amount of revenue received by Orion Tech will increase as the value of such assets (either by market gain or addiOonal sales) will increase. We do not receive any porOon of this fee. • Working Capital — Corporate, commercial, and business working capital, expansion and acquisiOon lines of credit and loans; • Commercial Real Estate — Commercial real estate, mulOfamily and other owned occupied properOes; • SecuriOes Backed Lines of Credit (SBLOC) — Automated and highly compeOOvely priced non-purpose securiOes backed lines along with lines secured by selecOve private and alternaOve investments; • Specialty Lending — Premium financing, fund call and operaOng lines of credit, along with others; • Watercran and Aircran Lending — New and used watercran and/or aircran 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 porOon of their assets to one or more offerings available on the CAIS plaSorm. In addiOon, if Clients engage our Wealth Advisory service, we may recommend that Clients allocate a porOon of Client assets to one or more offerings available on the CAIS plaSorm. This creates a conflict for us as Orion Tech may receive revenue from CAIS if Clients invest in any offering on the CAIS plaSorm through their investment advisor or our Wealth Advisory plaSorm. This revenue to Orion Tech is in addiOon 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 CompensaOon of this Brochure. • FDIC Insured Deposit Program — In-porSolio cash balances, held away debit/transacOonal 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 connecOon 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 parOes in exchange for selecOng or recommending a broker- dealer. Directed Brokerage Generally, our Core Asset Manager and Wealth Advisory programs require Clients to designate either NaOonal 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 bemer execuOon may be obtained through an alternaOve broker. All fixed income transacOons are executed at brokers other than the designated custodian (unless a Strategist determines the custodian can provide best execuOon) and managers have authority to select brokers who will effect such trades. To parOcipate in our Strategist Program, Separately Managed Account Program, High Net Worth Programs, Core Asset Manager Program, and ETF and Mutual Fund PorSolios 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 negoOaOng commission rates and other transacOon costs. If Clients select a specific broker, we will not be required to affect any transacOon through the specified broker if we reasonably believe that to do so would result in a breach of our fiduciary duOes. Clients are advised that by instrucOng us to submit all transacOons on behalf of a Client’s Account for execuOon 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 execuOon as favorable as those that would be obtained if we were able to place transacOons with forego other broker-dealers. Clients also may benefits that we may be able to obtain for them through negoOaOng volume discounts or block trades. As discussed in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry AcOviOes and AffiliaOons of this Brochure, ConstellaOon Trust Company (“CTC”) is our affiliate. Clients are under no obligaOon to select CTC as their custodian, and Clients are free to select any of the custodians we are able to work with. In evaluaOng which broker or dealer other than the designated custodian will provide best execuOon, 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, execuOon capability, commission rate, financial responsibility, market making capabiliOes and responsiveness. Although we currently do not receive any son dollar benefits, we may in the future select broker-dealers that provide research or other transacOon-related services and may cause the account to pay such broker-dealer commissions for effecOng transacOons in excess of commissions other Research and Other SoN Dollar Benefits We, as a mamer of policy and pracOce, do not uOlize research or other products or services other than execuOon from broker-dealers or third parOes in connecOon with Client securiOes transacOons and do not receive so-called "son dollar" benefits from 56 of 74 it determines that the designated custodian cannot provide best execuOon. However, Clients will be charged any brokerage commissions or fees arising in connecOon 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 son 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 permimed by law. Both NFS’s and Schwab’s execuOon procedures are designed to make every amempt to obtain the best execuOon 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 execuOons. ExecuOon 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 Ome to Ome, and at our sole discreOon, very large accounts parOcipaOng 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 parOcular 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 sOll use other brokers to execute trades for their account, as described in the preceding paragraphs. How We Select Brokers/Custodians In selecOng 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: • transacOon execuOon • • to • breadth of combinaOon of services and asset custody services; capability to execute, clear and semle trades (buy and sell securiOes 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 securiOes in the Client's account. Accordingly, Strategists are not authorized to negoOate commissions and their account may not be able to parOcipate in block trades effected by a Strategist for its other accounts. As a result, from Ome to Ome Client accounts may not obtain best execuOon on a parOcular 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 securiOes through another broker-dealer, if we or the Strategist determine that the designated custodian cannot provide best execuOon for the account. Similarly, we may effect trades for accounts through another broker-dealer if 57 of 74 • overall quality of services; • Program Manager may find that placing trades with the custodian is onen the most favorable trading opOon for a Client. • compeOOveness of the price of those services (which impacts what BCI charges its Clients); reputaOon, 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 transacOons 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 transacOons effected through the custodian, transacOons 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 addiOonal trading costs may increase a Client’s overall costs. capabiliOes, speed, We take into account the fact that transacOon costs on trades effected through brokers other than the designated custodian are not included in the SMA Program fee in evaluaOng whether the designated custodian is providing best execuOon. 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 execuOon, clearing and custody services, and investment advisory services. Inc. insOtuOonal brokerage Custody and Brokerage Costs SMA Program Managers have the authority to effect transacOons 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 transacOons 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 addiOon, even if the price is not more favorable, for the selecOon of such broker-dealer, the SMA Program Manager may consider all relevant factors, including efficiency, execuOon confidenOality, familiarity with potenOal purchasers or sellers, or any other relevant mamers. We refer to trades in which the custodian is not the execuOng 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 addiOon, 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 securiOes bought or the funds from the securiOes sold are deposited (semled) into the Client’s account. These fees are in addiOon to the commissions or other compensaOon Clients pay the execuOng broker-dealer. The costs of the execuOng broker and any trade away fees imposed by the custodian are in addiOon to our and the SMA Program Manager fees. For this reason, an SMA Products and Services Available to Us from NFS and Schwab NaOonal Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) and Charles Schwab & Co., (“Schwab”) provide us, Investment Advisors, and their Clients with access to their trading, custody, reporOng 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 58 of 74 basis (i.e., we do not have to request them) and at no addiOonal charge to us. the most we receive rather than the Client's best interest in receiving favorable execuOon of transacOons, which is a potenOal conflict of interest. We believe, however, that the selecOon 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 insOtuOonal brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execuOon of securiOes transacOons, 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 iniOal 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 mulOple clients in our various advisory programs. The porSolio 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.

Please see Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other CompensaOon of this Brochure for informaOon regarding services and benefits we may receive from other broker dealers.

We provide Clients with wrimen quarterly reports on the performance of their total account compared to standard industry indices.

These fees are either a flat dollar amount or based upon a percentage of the value of new or exisOng accounts referred to us by the applicable Investment Advisors. These fees may also be used to sponsor conferences hosted by Investment Advisors or their investment advisory firms. Investment Advisors are invited to amend seminars and meeOngs hosted by us.

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. Destinations Funds Trust, a mutual fund trust we advise, may be included in these models. When the Destinations Funds are included in a Strategist Model, the Strategist Fee is waived or reduced along with any Administration Fees OPS would otherwise collect with to Destinations Funds portfolios, as further explained in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of this Brochure. However, if a Client selects certain overlay services (such as Orion Custom Indexing), the overlay fee is charged on the entire portfolio, regardless of the underlying investments, as further set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Client and us. In the case of clients subject to ERISA or to Section 4975 of the Code, allocations to the Destinations Fund Trust will be implemented in a manner that complies with ERISA or Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable. Strategist Program Through OPS’s “Strategist Program,” Investment Advisors have the ability to invest Client accounts in a manner intended to follow a Strategist’s developed model asset allocation portfolio. We refer to such asset allocation models as “Strategist Models”. The Strategists regularly monitor the Strategist Models and are responsible for managing the model portfolios. impose investing Investment Advisor is responsible With the exception of the proprietary Strategies developed and managed by us, we are not affiliated with any other Strategists within the Strategist Program. However, in some instances, we receive all or part of certain Strategists’ Strategist Fees as an administration fee charged to the Strategist as discussed in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of this Brochure. These fees are negotiated between us and the Strategist. Given this arrangement we have an incentive to continue to make available Strategists that share fees with us. Consistent with our policies and procedures, the Investment Committee does not consider revenue sharing payment arrangements in the selection and oversight of Strategists to address these conflicts. 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. We make available Strategist Models of various risk and return characteristics and investment goals through our platform. These Strategist Models are not tailored to accommodate the needs or objectives of specific investors, but rather to enable an Investment Advisor to select the most appropriate Strategist Model offered by our Strategist Program for use with Clients.

If a Strategist or Strategist Model is removed from the Strategist Program, OPS will notify a Client’s Investment Advisor of the change and request that action be taken to reassign the account by a specified date. In such case, OPS will recommend a similar replacement Strategist to a Client’s Investment Advisor who may accept or such recommendation at their discretion. The Strategists are not acting as the Client’s investment advisor, do not possess knowledge of a Client’s individual information or investment goals and objectives, and do not provide personalized investment advice to Clients.

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.

If the Client 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 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- generating investments. The long-term portfolio will be invested primarily in ETFs. Assets designated for this portfolio will seek to provide long-term growth and a steady stream of income.

MMLIS Brinker Co-Advisory Program We have entered into an agreement with MML Investor Services, LLC (“MMLIS”), to provide our Wealth Advisory, Core Asset Manager and Destinations programs to MMLIS advisory clients, pursuant to a tri-party agreement among Brinker, 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 allocation philosophy or investment manager selection process. These adjustments to the asset allocations will result in transactions in a Client’s account. For OPS Platform Clients, a minimum 16 of 53 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. 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 Application Addendum, Investment Direction 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 instruct OPS to their Investment Advisor may terminate the use of the Strategist Models at any time. Clients will receive notification of all transactions in their account(a) in the form of an account statement provided by the custodian. 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 reasonably modify such restrictions from time to time. 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. 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 minimum 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 Wrap Fee Program, Transaction Fees, and Other Expenses We offer some of our services as a “wrap fee program”, with options to allocate investments to stocks, exchange traded funds, model portfolios, 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 additional information on our wrap fee program. 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 17 of 53 advisory agreement to determine whether the strategies selected are part of our wrap fee program. would be more or less costly than a separate transaction charge). “Trade-away” fees for fund’s investment management Qualified custodian Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) has agreed to waive execution fees for our Platform Clients’ transactions executed by Schwab. transactions submitted to a custodian other than Schwab will still be assessed. Clients in our wrap fee program do not pay these “Trade-away” fees on a transaction-by- transaction basis as they are included in the wrap fee program fee. We took this into consideration when pricing our wrap fee program at such custodian. 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 each fund) when deciding whether the Destinations program may be more or less costly than another investment program. impose transaction fees. Our fee 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 Tech and allows for proposal generation, account opening, trading, reporting, and billing from one dashboard. ETF shares incur transaction expenses, which are paid to the custodian either as a separate transaction 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 Destinations ETFh strategies, we purchase the available mutual fund share class with the lowest internal expense ratio (generally the “Institutional” class), which share class for may Destinations ETFh includes an asset-based fee paid to the custodian to cover transaction costs (see “Destination Program Fees” under Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of this Brochure). This enables us to make investment decisions for Destinations ETFh accounts without regard to transaction costs. Fee Summary 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. 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 charge. Since trading activity is dictated by multiple factors, including changes in funds in a Client’s Destinations ETFh portfolio (e.g., because of our performance evaluations, changes in 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 Clients should understand that the wrap fee may cost more or less than purchasing advisory, brokerage, custody, execution, and related services separately. The relative cost depends on several factors, including the amount of the wrap fee, the level of trading activity in the account, the custodian used, the types of securities held, the internal expenses of mutual funds or ETFs, and any other fees or expenses applicable to the account. For accounts with little trading activity, the wrap fee may be more expensive than paying for advisory services and transaction costs 18 of 53 custodian or account-level fees, when deciding whether the program is appropriate. separately. For accounts with higher trading activity, the wrap fee may be less expensive than paying separate transaction charges. Clients should review the total costs of the wrap program, including our fees, Investment Advisor fees, Strategist or Strategy fees, fund expenses, and any Our fee structure varies between the OPS and BCI Platforms. The primary fee is split in the following manner: OPS Platform Administrative Fee BCI Platform Brinker Fee Component Strategist Fee Strategy Fee Component Advisory Fees Financial Advisor Fee Component Definition The fee we charge for the advisory services we offer to clients. This can sometimes be referred to as a “Platform 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 addition to the Administrative 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 soliciting 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 portion 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 Platform that are also available on the OPS Platform for the portion of assets of such strategies on the BCI Platform. Monthly Billing Generally, for offerings on our OPS Platform, 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 tiered schedule. Accounts will not be consolidated if they were initially structured as distinct households. A household is defined as all custodian accounts at the same residential address. Quarterly Billing Generally, for offerings on our BCI Platform, we bill quarterly in advance. When billing in advance, the initial 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. Thereafter, 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 additional monies added to their account during the advisory fee period. No 19 of 53 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 deducting the fees. adjustments to the Client advisory fee will be made for monies withdrawn during the advisory fee period. Upon termination, we will issue Clients a prorated refund of all unearned advisory fees that were paid in advance. Clients can select to have one account from which all fees for their household are deducted. If such a situation is selected, Clients cannot designate an account subject to ERISA as the paying account for fees associated with non-ERISA accounts. Method of Payment The manner in which we bill for our services is dependent upon the relationship type. See Item 4 – Advisory Business for a description of the various relationship types we offer. Fees The following tables outline the fees for services we offer under our various programs and strategies as outlined in Item 4 – Advisory Business of this Brochure: 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 redemption of mutual fund shares or deduction of cash from the Client's separately 1B1BBrinker Capital Investments Programs Program Brinker Fee Component1,2 Minimum Wealth Advisory $1 million 0.65% Core Guided Manager $500,0003 Destinations $04 First $100,000.00 $100,000.01 to $250,000.00 $250,000.01 to $1 million Over $1 million 0.35% 0.30% 0.20% 0.10% 1 An annual $75 fee will be charged for each account or sleeve used in a Client’s household for households with assets on our platform valued at less than $100,000. 2 There is no Brinker Fee Component for the portion of accounts within the Wealth Advisory, Core Guided Manager, or Destinations Programs assigned to Affiliated Funds (including Destinations Funds) strategies.

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. 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 21 of 53 time 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 our website on time, to from (orion.com/wealth-management). 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 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. 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 agreement be terminated at any other time, the Client will receive a pro-rata refund of any prepaid fees. 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 particular custodian may offer a lower cost share class, but it will not be used in the strategy because not all of the other available custodians offer that share class for the strategy. is Other Fee Information The following sections outline important additional information relating to our fees. The current Termination Fee is $75 per account for full outgoing distributions or non-ACAT transfers. The Termination Fee may be discounted for Clients of Investment Advisors who have a significant amount of assets invested on our Platforms. Any discount individually negotiated with each Investment Advisor at our discretion. Additional account termination fees may be charged by the custodian. 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 Distribution We distribute a portion of the Brinker Fee Component to certain Investment Advisors who have significant assets invested in our Platforms or for other reasons, at our discretion. The amount of any distribution is individually negotiated with each Investment Advisor. Any Brinker Fee Component distributed to an Investment Advisor is retained by that Investment Advisor and does not constitute a reduction in the Brinker Fee Component for Clients. 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. Fee Changes We may amend our fee schedule upon at least 30 days’ prior written notice. 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 allocation of an account among Strategists, specific Strategist selection, and the number of Strategists rather than based upon the funds 22 of 53 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 of the account allocated to their proprietary products. Custodian Services Custodian services will be provided by a qualified custodian, including our affiliate, Constellation Trust Company (“CTC”). Please refer to Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations of this Brochure for more information on our affiliates, including CTC. 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. 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. Strategist Fee Retention We retain the following amounts from the Strategist Fee (for OPS) or Strategy Fee (for BCI) referenced above, regardless of Strategist Model type: Strategist American Funds Fidelity Investments Meeder Portion we retain 0.10% 0.05% 0.05% 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. 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. 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: • Advanced Asset Management Advisors • Focus Partners Advisor Solutions fka Buckingham Strategic Partners • Horizon Investments 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 23 of 53 • Meeder Investment Management • Toews Corporation • Ocean Park Asset Management • Clark Capital • iMGP 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 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 revenue sharing payments into account when 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 individually negotiated with each discount Investment Advisor at our discretion. 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 negotiated at our discretion and fees for customized investment strategies developed for a Client are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, from time-to-time we offer program- wide fee discounts and reduced account minimums as part of marketing and promotional programs. 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 us, 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. 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 Platforms 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 in Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations of this Brochure. Promotional Fee Discounts From time to time, we may offer promotional 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. Non-Standard Fees The advisory fee schedules listed above are our standard rates. Actual fees, and/or the portion of the advisory fee retained by us and the Client’s Investment Advisor, may vary. Please refer to the Client investment advisory agreement, including attached addendums and schedules, to determine the Client’s advisory fee. The standard fee schedules This creates a conflict for the Investment Advisor(s) or Investment Advisors as they are encouraged to recommend our investment advisory services relative to the investment advisory services of other advisors with similar programs to ours. Please review 24 of 53 the Investment Advisor’s Form ADV Part2A for more information regarding their participation in such promotions. 25 of 53 Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients institutions, corporations and other business entities, and state or municipal government entities. All Programs (other than RPS) are available to these different types of investors, subject to certain minimum investment amounts. Minimum account size requirements and applicable fee schedules are disclosed for each respective program described above in Item 4: Services, Fees and Compensation.

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. 27 of 53 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. 28 of 53 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 29 of 53 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 30 of 53 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. If the due diligence team has no concerns, the Strategy is added to the Orion Investment Portal. Such Strategist Models are not subject to review by our Due Diligence Committee. are responsible The Investment Managers are not provided individual information about the Client or their investment goals and objectives and do not have an advisory relationship with the Client. Any questions regarding the management of the investment strategies or the Client’s Account should be directed to the Client’s Investment Advisor. 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. 31 of 53 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. 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. Our investment due diligence team and Investment Due Diligence Committee do not review our proprietary strategies. in Investment Analysis for Solicitor Clients The following information relates to the Method of Analysis and investment strategies for Clients introduced to us under a solicitor arrangement, as Item 4 – Services, Fees and described Compensation of this Brochure. that accounts for in losses, Indexing Equity Long/Short The Orion Custom Strategy described in Item 4 utilizes a customized long/short overlay and seeks to provide pre-tax and after-tax excess returns through active stock selection and tax-loss harvesting while maintaining the investment characteristics of the Client’s desired market exposure. Because the strategy may use both long and short positions, it involves additional risks beyond traditional long-only equity strategies or other Orion Custom Indexing strategies, including market risk, idiosyncratic or company-specific risk, short-sale risk, borrow and short squeeze risk, leverage risk, and borrow rate risk. These risks may result increased costs, unexpected portfolio outcomes, or the need to purchase securities in the open market at prices significantly above the proceeds received from a short sale. 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. harvesting or other to analyze 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, personal situation, and investment experience. We utilize our proprietary computerized software investment strategy the program questionnaire to ensure the selected strategy or strategies are suitable for the Client. Our investment team is responsible for maintaining the logic, which investment strategy the includes maintaining questionnaire. The Orion Custom Indexing Equity Long/Short Strategy may involve additional tax considerations, and any expected tax benefits, including from tax- loss tax-management techniques, are not guaranteed and may not be suitable for every Client. Neither we nor any Sub- Advisor we may engage to implement the Orion Custom Indexing Equity Long/Short Strategy provides tax advice; Clients should consult their own qualified tax advisors, and each Client’s Investment Advisor is responsible for considering the Client’s objectives, tax circumstances, risk tolerance, financial situation, and other liquidity needs, relevant factors when determining whether the strategy is suitable and in the Client’s best interest. When creating an investment strategy profile for a client in our Wealth Advisory Program introduced to 32 of 53 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. and/or investment compensation Investment 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. 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 investment recommendation, when making an 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. 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. The Conflicts Committee is chaired by our Chief Compliance Officer. 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 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 levels, from aggressive to Client risk comfort conservative. Under our current fee schedules, the amount of fees we receive does not change based upon the allocation of assets in a Client’s account among Strategists and/or funds, which we believe 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. 33 of 53 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. in Risks Performance could be impacted by a number of different market risks including but not limited to: 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. in Item 4 – Services, Fees and As discussed 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 discussed Information, Item 9 – Additional 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.” 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. 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. 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. in securities Credit Risk The value of a Client’s investment in the portfolio may change in response to changes in the credit ratings of the portfolio’s securities. Generally, investment risk and price volatility increase as a security’s credit rating declines. Investing 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 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. 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 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 34 of 53 portfolio positions; and risks that the derivative transactions may not be liquid. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. legal, regulatory, these and risk management 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.

Any such delay could be significant and could adversely affect the investment performance of the participant’s account. Artificial Intelligence Risk We, our affiliates, third-party vendors, or other counterparties may use artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology in connection with certain business processes, services, technology tools, or products. AI models and related technologies are developing rapidly and may, in some circumstances, produce inaccurate, incomplete, or unintended outputs; reflect limitations or biases in underlying data; raise intellectual property considerations; or present reputational, operational, cybersecurity, or other risks, including risks related to third-party AI tools and evolving AI laws, regulations, guidance, or industry practices. We seek through governance, risks to manage oversight, practices reasonably designed for the nature and scope of the AI technology used, which may include review of AI tools, vendor oversight, information security and 35 of 53 privacy safeguards, employee guidance, monitoring of AI-related outputs, and limiting or discontinuing use where appropriate. In the Destinations program, proxy ballots are sent directly to Clients.

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: • Vote the proxy in accordance with the vote indicated by the Guidelines; 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, Clients authorize us the various Strategists who have trading authority, to vote proxies for securities held in their account with such manager. 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. • 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 • Direct the Proxy Voter to vote in accordance with its independent assessment of the matter. If any potential conflict is either determined not to exist, or is resolved, the relevant Strategist will 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. 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. We and all Strategists retained by us have adopted and implemented written policies and procedures.

Together, Clients and their Investment Advisor determine whether a change in Client objectives warrants a change in the criteria used to manage Client assets. We also make quarterly performance evaluations available to Clients that describe their current personal and investment information. We use this information as the primary reference for managing Client accounts. If any information has changed, Clients are instructed to promptly advise us of any changes. If the information is current, no further action is required. Clients also have access to their account information at all times via our web site where investment objectives, Clients can view their investment policy statement and other important information regarding the management of a Client’s account.

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 44 of 53 accounts, instead of selecting transaction fee funds that may have a lower expense ratio to the Client.

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.

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.
