Planning or consulting services may also encompass one or more areas of specific need, including but not limited
to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings and other areas of a Client’s
financial situation. The Advisor may provide guidance on any type of security, depending on the needs, goals,
financial situation and current positions held by a Client. The Advisor may also provide guidance on non-
securities investment products, as appropriate.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor
for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor would pose a
conflict, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. This causes a conflict of interest; to
mitigate this conflict Clients always have the right to choose to implement any recommendation with any
broker-dealer or insurance agency. Clients always have the right to decide whether to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects
to implement on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client always has the right to execute
the transaction through another advisor. The Investment Advisor Representatives (herein “Advisory Persons”)
will typically receive commissions for the implementation of recommendations for insurance transactions, in
their separate capacity as insurance professionals.
Investment Management Services
Paradiem provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through
continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary and non-discretionary
investment management and consulting services. Paradiem works with each Client to identify their investment
goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation to create a portfolio strategy. Paradiem
constructs portfolios with individual equity securities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual fixed income
securities and mutual funds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. For certain Clients, the Advisor may

www.paradiem.org
recommend investment in Class F-2 shares offered through American Funds Services (“AFS”), a low cost mutual
fund option, which do not include 12(b)-1 fees. Paradiem’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused,
but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held less than one year to meet the
objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Paradiem will construct, implement and monitor the
portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each
Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their
respective portfolio, subject to the acceptance by the Advisor. The Advisor may retain other types of investments
from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax-related reasons, or other
reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
Paradiem evaluates and selects ETFs and mutual funds for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying their
internal due diligence process. Paradiem may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to
diversify the portfolio. Paradiem may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings.
The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
Paradiem may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital
gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or
overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client
needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Prior to rendering investment advisory services, Paradiem will ascertain, in conjunction with the Client, the
Client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objective[s]. Paradiem will provide investment
advisory and related services. At no time will Paradiem accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or
securities. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the
Client investment advisory agreement.
Prior to engaging Paradiem to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or
more advisory agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of
the Advisor and the Client.
At no time will Paradiem accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited
authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at
the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices.
These services may include:
§ Establishing an Investment Strategy – Paradiem, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy
that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
§ Asset Allocation – Paradiem will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation, and tolerance for risk for each Client.
§ Portfolio Construction – Paradiem will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the
§
stated goals and objectives of the Client.
Investment Management and Supervision – Paradiem will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
Retirement Plan Accounts – When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will recommend that a
Client roll over its retirement plan account into an account managed by the Advisor. In such instances, the
Advisor will serve as an investment fiduciary as that term is defined under The Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest as the Advisor will earn a

www.paradiem.org
new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the rollover. No client is under any obligation to roll over
retirement plan assets to an account managed by the Advisor.
Paradiem does manage a wrap fee program. For certain Clients, the Advisor will include the securities
transaction fees together with investment advisory fees to provide the Client with a single, bundled fee structure.
Including these fees into a single asset-based fee is considered a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor customizes
its investment management services for its Clients. The Advisor sponsors the Paradiem Wrap Fee Program solely
as a supplemental disclosure regarding the combination of fees. Depending on the level of trading required for
the Client’s account[s] in a particular year, the Client may pay more or less in total fees than if the Client paid its
own transaction fees. Please see Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure, which is included as a supplement
to this Disclosure Brochure.
As of December 31, 2024, the Advisor manages $466,197.031 in Client assets, $455,743,580 of which are managed
on a discretionary basis and $19,453,451 on a non-discretionary basis.
In addition, as of December 31, 2024, the Advisor also has $1,365,965,205 in assets under advisement (“AUA”), attestable
to ongoing consulting services provided to Clients of the Advisor. Clients may request more current information at any
time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client shall sign one or more agreements that detail the responsibilities of Paradiem and the
Client.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Planning and Consulting Services
Planning engagements are typically offered on a fixed fee per engagement that is based on the complexity and
duration of the planning services provided. An estimate of the duration and work effort will be determined prior
to establishing the advisory relationship. Planning fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor.
In certain instances, Clients may be offered an hourly fee for financial planning and consulting services at a rate
of up to $500 per hour.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses, which
may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees,
and costs. The hourly fees are determined after considering many factors, such as the level and scope of the
services.
Paradiem’s Planning and Consulting Services are completed in offered in three levels of service, based on a fixed,
negotiated retainer fee (as listed below). Fees are determined based on the complexity of the Client’s situation
and the anticipated effort and duration associated with the scope of work. All fees will be presented to the client
BEFORE engagement of the relationship to ensure that all parties are in agreement to the scope of the work.

Fees are charged monthly, in advance, or in advance of the engagement, pursuant to the terms of the agreement.
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid in advance of each month, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory
agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of
the last business day of the preceding month.
Investment advisory fees are based on investment program[s] in which the Client’s account[s] are invested and
are based on the following tiered schedule:
Assets Under Management
Up to $1,000,000
Annual Rate (%)
1.50%
$1,000,001 to $5,000,000
1.25%
$5,000,001 to $10,000,000
1.00%
$10,000,001 to $30,000,000
Over $30,000,000
0.75%
0.50%
The investment advisory fee in the first month of service is prorated to the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first month. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take
into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by Paradiem will be independently valued by the Custodian. Paradiem will conduct periodic reviews
of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.
Depending on the unique and particular complexities of a Client’s financial situation, the Advisor may also offer
investment management services based on a fixed annual fee arrangement. The total annual fee is determined on
a case-by-case basis. Factors considered in setting the fixed-fee generally include the complexity of the Client’s
financial situation, level of investable assets, and estimated time involved. Other factors considered include the
number of household members, number and type of accounts, life stage, business interests, real estate
ownership, trust arrangements, etc. Fixed fees are intended to be competitive with what the Client might expect
to pay under an “assets under management” (AUM) approach (assuming all investable assets were managed).
B. Fee Billing
Financial Planning and Consulting Services
Financial planning and consulting fees are invoiced by the Advisor and are due in advance of services rendered.
Clients are to pay these fees on a monthly basis. The Advisor will not collect fees that are greater than $1,200 if

www.paradiem.org
the services will be provided six months or more in the future. For annual retainers, the Advisor will bill in
advance for services that will be completed in less than six months. Supplemental billing may be required during
the year pursuant to the terms of the financial planning and consulting agreement.
Wealth counseling assessment fees are invoiced by the Advisor and are due in advance of services rendered.
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than Paradiem, in connection with
recommendations made to the Client. The Client is responsible for all such fees.
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Custodian or delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s].
The Client shall instruct the Custodian to automatically deduct the investment advisory fee from the Client’s
account[s] for each billing period and pay the investment advisory fee[s] to the Advisor. The amount due is
calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 365/366) to the total assets under management
with Paradiem at the beginning of each month. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from
the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify
the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this
responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by Paradiem
directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate
account forms provided by the Custodian.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on
behalf of the Client’s account[s]. Paradiem includes securities transactions costs as part of its overall investment
advisory fee through the Paradiem Wrap Fee Program. Securities transaction fees for Client-directed trades may
be charged back to the Client. Please see Item 4.D. above as well as Appendix 1 – Wrap Fee Program Brochure.
The inclusion of securities transaction fees into a single bundled fee may cost the Client more or less than if paid
separately.
In addition, all fees paid to Paradiem for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the
expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are
described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for
the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a
possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of
Paradiem, but would not receive the services provided by Paradiem which are designed, among other things, to
assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial
situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees
charged by Paradiem to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Planning and Consulting Services
Either party may terminate a planning or consulting agreement at any time by providing written notice to the
other party. In addition, the Client may also terminate the advisory agreement within five (5) business days of
signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges
for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the

Phone: (985) 727-0770|Fax: (985) 612-7007
Page 12
www.paradiem.org
Client. Refunds will be given on a pro-rata basis. The agreement for planning services is effectively terminated
upon the presentation of the plan or specific deliverables included in the agreement.
Investment Management Services
Paradiem is compensated for its services in advance of the month in which investment advisory services are
rendered. Either party may request to terminate the investment advisory agreement with Paradiem, at any time,
by providing advance written notice to the other party. In addition, the Client may also terminate the investment
advisory agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client.
After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of
termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any
unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the month. The
Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
Paradiem does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any
Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Paradiem is also a licensed insurance agency and certain Advisory Persons are licensed as insurance
professionals. Paradiem will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including
insurance products sold to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by Paradiem are separate and in addition to
advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as Advisory Persons and members of Paradiem’s
management have an incentive to recommend insurance products for the purpose of generating commissions
and revenue rather than solely based on Client needs. Paradiem will never earn both a commission and an
ongoing advisory fee on the same assets. Additionally, Clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance
products through any Advisory Person or Paradiem. Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and
Affiliations.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Paradiem does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by
Paradiem are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or
securities held by any Client. Paradiem does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited
partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any
particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Paradiem offers asset management and financial consulting services to individuals, high net worth individuals,
families, and charitable organizations. Paradiem generally does not impose a minimum account size for
establishing an asset management relationship.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Paradiem primarily employs a fundamental analysis method in developing investment strategies for its Clients.
Research and analysis from Paradiem is derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies,
Paradiem, LLC
d/b/a Intentional Ownership
510 N Jefferson, Covington, LA 70433
Phone: (985) 727-0770|Fax: (985) 612-7007
Page 13
www.paradiem.org
third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports,
prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria are
generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment
with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential
investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment
criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The
Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate.
As noted above, Paradiem generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with
their financial goals. Paradiem will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold
for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times,
Paradiem may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the
Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector, or asset class.
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the risk of loss. Paradiem will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy
based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will
meet their investment goals. Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment
selection criteria. More details on the Advisor’s review process are included in Item 13.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the
provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial
condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client
accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio
construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach.
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
Equity (Stock) Risks
Common stocks are subject to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value
as market confidence and perception of their issuers change. There is also a certain level of company or industry
specific risk that is inherent in each investment. There is the risk that the company will perform poorly or have
its value reduced based on factors specific to the company or its industry,
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading

Page 14
www.paradiem.org
risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large
bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and
may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF
purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short
time later.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of
the mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a
mutual fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have
the same price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”)
Investing in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) involves certain distinct risks in addition to those risks
associated with investing in the real estate industry in general. Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the
value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of
credit extended. REITs are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation.
REITs, especially mortgage REITs, are also subject to interest rate risk (i.e., as interest rates rise, the value of the
REIT may decline).
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a
risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these
risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving Paradiem or any of its management persons.
Paradiem and its Supervised Persons value the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages
Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The
backgrounds of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure
website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 158200.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
Paradiem also serves as a licensed insurance agency, and as such, may offer insurance products on a commission
basis. The Advisor shall generally introduce the Client to an unaffiliated insurance agency to manage the
insurance process. The Advisor shall receive a portion of the insurance commission earned by the unaffiliated
insurance agency. No client shall be under any obligation to purchase any insurance products from the Advisor
or such introduced insurance agency. The recommendation by an Advisory Person that a Client purchase an
insurance product presents a conflict of interest, as the receipt of commissions may provide an incentive to
recommend insurance products based on commissions to be received, rather than based on a particular Client’s
need. Clients are reminded that they remain free to purchase insurance products through other insurance
agencies.
OxLot Capital
The Advisor is under common control and ownership with OxLot Capital (“OxLot”). OxLot is currently an
inactive entity.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Paradiem has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client.
This Code of Ethics applies to all persons associated with Paradiem (“Supervised Persons”). The Code of Ethics
was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to
the Client. Paradiem and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness, and good faith towards each
Client. It is the obligation of Paradiem associates to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but
also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code of Ethics covers a range of topics that address
employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code of Ethics, please contact the Advisor at
(985) 727-0770.
Paradiem allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Paradiem does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor
does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Paradiem does not have a
material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts.
Paradiem allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting.
When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest when trading in the same
securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made
with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This
risk is mitigated by Paradiem requiring reporting of personal securities trades in order to determine that the
Advisory Persons is not putting the Client into a disadvantage and adhering to the policies and procedures by its
Supervised Persons for review by the CCO, pursuant to its Code of Ethics. The Advisor has also adopted written
policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. In addition, the Code of Ethics
governs Gifts and Entertainment given by and provided to the Advisor, outside employment activities of
employees, Employee reporting, sanctions for violations of the Code of Ethics, and records retention
requirements for various aspects of the Code of Ethics.
Paradiem allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. The Advisor and its affiliated persons often trade alongside its Clients and will
often include trades for the accounts of affiliated persons at the same time as its Clients. At no time, will
Paradiem or any Supervised Persons of Paradiem, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Paradiem does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets
and authorize Paradiem to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the wealth management agreement.
The Advisor typically recommends that Clients establish their account[s] at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Clients are not obligated to use the

www.paradiem.org
recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a
custodian not recommended by Paradiem. Schwab will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. Paradiem
maintains an institutional relationship with Schwab, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits. Please see
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation below.
Paradiem may also recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Mutual Securities, Inc. (“Mutual
Securities”), a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Clients are not obligated to use the
recommended Custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a
custodian not recommended by Paradiem. Mutual Securities will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”.
Paradiem maintains an institutional relationship with Mutual Securities, whereby the Advisor receives economic
benefits from Mutual Securities. Please see Item 14 below.
In addition, the Advisor may recommend that a Client establish their account[s] directly with a mutual fund
company. For Client accounts established to invest in AFS Fund Class F-2 shares, American Funds Services will
act as the transfer agent for the fund.
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into
an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other
services. Paradiem receives soft dollar economic benefits from Schwab (Please see Item 14). Clients should be
aware that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits
may influence the Advisor's recommendation of the Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software,
systems support, or services. To mitigate this conflict of interest the benefits received by the Advisor or its
Advisory Persons through participation in the program do not depend on the amount of brokerage transactions
directed to the Custodian. As part of its fiduciary duties to clients, the Advisor at all times puts the interests of its
Clients first.
2. Brokerage Referrals - Paradiem does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with
the recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - The Advisor does not utilize directed brokerage and the Client has the ability to choose
whom they utilize for a Custodian. If a client engages a Custodian other than Schwab the Advisor’s ability to
aggregate a trade may be negated.
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of
execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian.
Paradiem will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. Paradiem may
aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for
multiple (discretionary) accounts. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the
securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is
consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not
consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Client accounts.

www.paradiem.org
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Securities in Client accounts are monitored regular and continuous basis, at least monthly by Eric Dunavant,
President of the Advisor. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually.
In addition to the investment monitoring each Client account shall be internally reviewed at least annually.
Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result
of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large
deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify Paradiem if changes occur
in his/her personal financial situation that might adversely affect his/her investment plan. Additional reviews
may be triggered by material market, economic or political events.
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to
the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor or the
Custodian may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and
performance.
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Paradiem may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants,
estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Paradiem does not
receive compensation for these referrals. Likewise, Paradiem may receive non-compensated referrals of new
Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
As disclosed under Item 12, above, the Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Schwab
through its “Schwab Advisor Services” unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory
firms like Paradiem. As a registered investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform,
Paradiem receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services
benefit the Advisor and many, but not all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties
to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware,
however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits
can influence the Advisor's recommendation of Schwab over a custodian that does not furnish similar software,
systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client
were to directly access the investments.

Phone: (985) 727-0770|Fax: (985) 612-7007
Page 18
www.paradiem.org
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back-office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients but
may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to Paradiem
that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support,
consulting services and discounts for various service providers. Additionally, Schwab has agreed to pay for
certain services rendered by third parties for which the Advisor would otherwise have to pay. This amount is
covered once the value of Client assets in accounts at Schwab reaches a certain size. Clients do not pay more for
assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these arrangements. However, the Advisor does benefit from the
arrangement because the cost of these services would otherwise be borne directly by the Advisor. Access to these
services and financial support creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results
in a conflict of interest. Paradiem believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best
interests of its Clients. Clients should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting a custodian.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
Paradiem has established an institutional relationship with Mutual Securities (“Custodian”) to assist the Advisor
in managing Client account[s]. Access to the Mutual Securities platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor.
The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders
investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Mutual Securities. The software and related
systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the
Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the
receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a potential conflict of interest since these benefits may
influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software,
systems support, or services.
Insurance Company
As noted in Item 10, Paradiem also serves as an insurance company, where the Advisor may recommend to
Clients the purchase of certain insurance products. Paradiem will benefit from any revenue generated from the
sale of a recommended insurance product.
Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to Paradiem by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein "Promoter") and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, Paradiem will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment advisory fees earned by
Paradiem, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Item 15 – Custody
Paradiem does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined
below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction
of advisory fees, all Clients for whom Paradiem exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a
"qualified custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and

securities and must instruct Paradiem to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients
are encouraged to review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by
Paradiem to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review
Money Movement Authorization - For instances where Clients authorize Paradiem to move funds between their
accounts, Paradiem and the Custodian have implemented safeguards to ensure that all money movement
activities are conducted strictly in accordance with the Client’s documented instructions.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Paradiem typically has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. These purchases or sales are subject to
specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by
Paradiem. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of
such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all
applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by Paradiem will be in accordance with
each Client's investment objectives and goals.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Paradiem accepts proxy-voting responsibility for securities held in Client accounts when provided by the Client.
The advisory agreement between Paradiem and the Client will generally specify whether or not Paradiem has
the authority to vote proxies on behalf of a particular Client.
Paradiem has engaged Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc (“Broadridge”), a third-party,
independent proxy advisory firm, to vote proxies in order to mitigate risks involved with any conflicts of interest
that might otherwise arise in the voting of Client proxies. Although Paradiem expects to vote proxies according
to Broadridge’s recommendations, certain issues may need to be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the
diverse and continually evolving nature of corporate governance issues. If such cases should arise, then
Paradiem will devote appropriate time and resources to consider those issues.
Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures
Paradiem shall vote proxies in the best interest of its Clients and shall not subrogate the Client’s interest to its
own. Paradiem monitors corporate actions through the Custodian. Paradiem receives notice of upcoming proxy
votes, meeting and record dates, and other information on upcoming corporate actions by companies in which
Paradiem Clients are shareholders. Clients may request a copy of Paradiem’s proxy voting records free of charge
by contacting Paradiem.
Conflicts of Interest in the Voting Process
On occasion, a conflict of interest may exist between the Advisor and the client regarding the outcome of certain
proxy votes. In such cases, the Advisor is committed to resolving the conflict in the best interest of the Clients
before voting for the proxy in question.
Client Direction of Voting
Although most of Paradiem’s Clients for whom the Advisor votes proxies authorize Paradiem to vote in
accordance with its proxy voting policy, a Client may request that the Advisor votes its proxies in accordance
with a different policy. The Advisor will try to accommodate such requests.

In addition, a Client may direct Paradiem to votes its securities in a particular way on a particular proposal, and
the Advisor will seek to do so, assuming timely receipt of the instruction.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither Paradiem, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Paradiem to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Paradiem, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have
been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Paradiem is not required to deliver a balance sheet along
with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect fees of $1,200 for services to be performed six months
or more in advance.

Item 3 – Services Fees and Compensation
Paradiem, LLC d/b/a Intentional Ownership (“Paradiem” or the “Advisor”) provides customized investment
advisory services for its Clients. This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided as a supplement to the Paradiem
Disclosure Brochure (Form ADV 2A). This Wrap Fee Program Brochure is provided along with the complete
Disclosure Brochure to provide full details of the business practices and fees when selecting Paradiem as your
investment advisor.
As part of the investment advisory fees noted in Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure,
Paradiem includes normal securities transaction fees as part of the overall investment advisory fee. Securities
regulations often refer to this combined fee structure as a “Wrap Fee Program”. The Advisor’s recommended
Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client’s account, provided
that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian’s brokerage requirements. However, the
Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. The Advisor sponsors the
Paradiem Wrap Fee Program.
The sole purpose of this Wrap Fee Program Brochure is to provide additional disclosure relating the combination
of securities transaction fees into the single “bundled” investment advisory fee. This Wrap Fee Program
Brochure references back to the Paradiem Disclosure Brochure in which this Wrap Fee Program Brochure serves
as an Appendix. Please see Item 4 – Advisory Services of the Disclosure Brochure for details on Paradiem’s
investment philosophy and related services.
Advisory services provided by Paradiem are offered in a wrap fee structure whereby normal securities
transaction costs are included in the overall investment advisory fee paid to Paradiem. As the level of trading in
a Client’s account[s] may vary from year to year, the annual cost to the Client may be more or less than engaging
for advisory services where the transactions costs are borne separately by the Client. The cost of the Wrap Fee
Program varies depending on services to be provided to each Client, however, the Client is not charged more if
there is higher trading activity in the Client’s account[s] or to utilize securities that do not have transaction fees.
As noted above, the Advisor’s recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and
equity trades in a Client’s account, provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian’s
brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of
investments such, the Advisor is incentivized to utilize ETFs and other equity securities to limit the overall cost
to the Advisor. The Advisor will only place Client assets into a Wrap Fee Program when it is believed to be in the
Client’s best interest. Please see Item 5 – Fees and Compensation of the Disclosure Brochure for complete
details on fees.
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly or monthly (herein the “Billing Period”), in advance of each Billing
Period, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the
market value of assets under management at the end of the last business day of the preceding Billing Period.

The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first Billing Period. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees
will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by Paradiem will be independently valued by the Custodian. Paradiem will conduct periodic reviews
of the Custodian’s valuations.
As noted above, the Wrap Fee Program includes normal securities trading costs incurred in connection with the
discretionary investment management services provided by Paradiem. Securities transaction fees for Client-
directed trades may be charged back to the Client.
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties in connection with investments made on
behalf of the Client’s account[s]. Under this Wrap Fee Program, Paradiem includes securities transactions costs
as part of its overall investment advisory fee.
In addition, all fees paid to Paradiem for investment advisory services or part of the Wrap Fee Program are
separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their
shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and
expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account
administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. Additionally,
account activity fees, such as electronic funds and wire transfers fees, certificate delivery fees, markups and
markdowns, bid-ask spreads, selling concessions, and other miscellaneous fees and expenses as outlined in the
account opening paperwork executed with the Custodian, are generally charged to the Client. Clients are
encouraged to refer to the account opening paperwork executed with the Custodian for an outline of all third-
party fees not covered under this Wrap Fee Program.
Paradiem is the sponsor and portfolio manager of this Wrap Fee Program. Paradiem receives investment
advisory fees paid by Clients for participating in the Wrap Fee Program and pays the Custodian for the costs
associated with the management of the Client’s account[s].

Supervised Persons
Paradiem Advisory Persons serve as portfolio managers for all accounts, including the services described in this
Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Details of the advisory services provided are included in Item 4.A. of the
Disclosure Brochure.
Methods of Analysis
Please see Item 8 of the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure) for details on the
research and analysis methods employed by the Advisor.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. Paradiem will assist Clients in determining an appropriate
strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a
Client will meet their investment goals.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client’s investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client’s account[s]. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client’s account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the
Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the
provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial
condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a
risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these
risks with the Advisor. Please see Item 8.B. – Risk of Loss in the Disclosure Brochure for details on
investment risks.
Proxy Voting
Paradiem accepts proxy-voting responsibility for securities held in Client accounts when provided by the Client.
The advisory agreement between Paradiem and the Client will generally specify whether or not Paradiem has
the authority to vote proxies on behalf of a particular Client.
Paradiem has engaged Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions, Inc (“Broadridge”), a third-party,
independent proxy advisory firm, to vote proxies in order to mitigate risks involved with any conflicts of interest
that might otherwise arise in the voting of Client proxies. Although Paradiem expects to vote proxies according
to Broadridge’s recommendations, certain issues may need to be considered on a case-by-case basis due to the
diverse and continually evolving nature of corporate governance issues. If such cases should arise, then
Paradiem will devote appropriate time and resources to consider those issues.
Proxy Voting Policy and Procedures
Paradiem shall vote proxies in the best interest of its Clients and shall not subrogate the Client’s interest to its
own. Paradiem monitors corporate actions through the Custodian. Paradiem receives notice of upcoming proxy
votes, meeting and record dates, and other information on upcoming corporate actions by companies in which
Paradiem Clients are shareholders. Clients may request a copy of Paradiem’s proxy voting records free of charge
by contacting Paradiem.
Conflicts of Interest in the Voting Process
On occasion, a conflict of interest may exist between the Advisor and the client regarding the outcome of certain
proxy votes. In such cases, the Advisor is committed to resolving the conflict in the best interest of the Clients
before voting for the proxy in question.

Client Direction of Voting
Although most of Paradiem’s Clients for whom the Advisor votes proxies authorize Paradiem to vote in
accordance with its proxy voting policy, a Client may request that the Advisor votes its proxies in accordance
with a different policy. The Advisor will try to accommodate such requests.
In addition, a Client may direct Paradiem to votes its securities in a particular way on a particular proposal, and
the Advisor will seek to do so, assuming timely receipt of the instruction.
Item 6 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers
Paradiem is the sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the Program. The Advisor does not share Client
information with other portfolio managers because it is the sole portfolio manager for this Wrap Fee Program.
Please also see the Paradiem Privacy Policy (included after this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
Item 7 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers
Paradiem is a full-service investment management advisory firm. Clients always have direct access to the
Portfolio Managers at Paradiem.
Item 8 – Additional Information
Paradiem values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite
due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and its
Advisor Persons are on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by
searching for the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 158200. Please see Item 9 of the Paradiem Disclosure Brochure as
well as Item 3 of each Advisory Person’s Brochure Supplement (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure)
for additional information on how to research the background of the Advisor and its Advisory Persons.
Other Financial Activities and Affiliations
Please see Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations and Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other
Compensation of the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program
Brochure).
Paradiem has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code of
Ethics applies to all persons subject to Paradiem’s compliance program (“Supervised Persons”). Complete details
on the Paradiem Code of Ethics can be found under Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading in the Disclosure Brochure (included with this Wrap Fee Program Brochure).
Review of Accounts

Paradiem under the supervision of the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). Details of the review policies and
practices are provided in Item 13 – Review of Accounts of the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure.
Other Compensation
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
The Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Schwab through its “Schwab Advisor Services”
unit, a division of Schwab dedicated to serving independent advisory firms like Paradiem. As a registered
investment advisor participating on the Schwab Advisor Services platform, Paradiem receives access to software
Paradiem, LLC

Phone: (985) 727-0770|Fax: (985) 612-7007
Page 27
www.paradiem.org
and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that
maintain assets at Schwab. Services provided by Schwab Advisor Services benefit the Advisor and many, but not
all services provided by Schwab will benefit Clients. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors
at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic
benefits from a custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits can influence the Advisor’s
recommendation of Schwab over a custodian that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Services that Benefit the Client – Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of
investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of Client’s funds and securities. Through
Schwab, the Advisor may be able to access certain investments and asset classes that the Client would not be able
to obtain directly or through other sources. Further, the Advisor may be able to invest in certain mutual funds
and other investments without having to adhere to investment minimums that might be required if the Client
were to directly access the investments.
Services that May Indirectly Benefit the Client – Schwab provides participating advisors with access to technology,
research, discounts and other services. In addition, the Advisor receives duplicate statements for Client accounts,
the ability to deduct advisory fees, trading tools, and back-office support services as part of its relationship with
Schwab. These services are intended to assist the Advisor in effectively managing accounts for its Clients but
may not directly benefit all Clients.
Services that May Only Benefit the Advisor – Schwab also offers other services and financial support to Paradiem
that may not benefit the Client, including: educational conferences and events, financial start-up support,
consulting services and discounts for various service providers. Additionally, Schwab has agreed to pay for
certain services rendered by third parties for which the Advisor would otherwise have to pay. This amount is
covered once the value of Client assets in accounts at Schwab reaches a certain size. Clients do not pay more for
assets maintained at Schwab as a result of these arrangements. However, the Advisor does benefit from the
arrangement because the cost of these services would otherwise be borne directly by the Advisor. Access to these
services and financial support creates a financial incentive for the Advisor to recommend Schwab, which results
in a conflict of interest. Paradiem believes, however, that the selection of Schwab as Custodian is in the best
interests of its Clients. Clients should consider these conflicts of interest when selecting a custodian.
Compensation for Client Referrals
Certain Clients may be referred to Paradiem by either an affiliated or unaffiliated party (herein “Promoter”) and
receive, directly or indirectly, compensation for the Client referral. In such instances, Paradiem will compensate
the Promoter a fee in accordance with Rule 206(4)-1 of the Advisers Act and any corresponding state securities
requirements. Any such compensation shall be paid solely from the investment advisory fees earned by
Paradiem, and shall not result in any additional charge to the Client.
Financial Information
Neither Paradiem, nor its management have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the
ability of Paradiem to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Paradiem, nor any of its Advisory Persons, has
been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. Paradiem is not required to deliver a balance sheet along
with this Disclosure Brochure, as the firm does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be
performed six months or more in advance. Please see Item 18 of the Form ADV Part 2A – Disclosure Brochure.
