We recommend that you examine your potential investment advisor’s history on the SEC’s website: www.adviserinfo.sec.gov Page 3 Pinnacle Investment Advisors P innacle Investment Advisors was established in 1996 as a fee based money management (cid:976)irm, registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, offering bond and equity portfolio manage- ment for individuals, foundations, corporations, trusts, pension and pro(cid:976)it sharing plans, and other business enti- ties. The (cid:976)irm also offers (cid:976)inancial analysis on a consulting basis for bank investment portfolios, corporate cash management, municipal debt defeasance, and liability hedging programs. We have a $250,000 minimum for our managed accounts, exceptions to this requirement are made on an individual basis. One principle pervades all our investment strategies: minimizing risk for a desired rate of return. The (cid:976)irm has seven speci(cid:976)ic investment strategies designed to bene(cid:976)it from distinct risk and return parameters. Each strategy is customized based on the client’s unique risk pro(cid:976)ile. First, we explain the risks involved in each strategy in terms of volatility, liquidity, and cash (cid:976)lows. Then we evaluate the client’s investment objectives, time horizon, income needs, and (cid:976)inancial situation. Finally, once an appropriate asset allocation is decided upon, we will man- age the client’s portfolio subject to their risk tolerance, the investment strategies selected, and any additional re- quests made by the client. Each of our investment strategies captures different risk/reward characteristics in the stock or bond markets. The risk of investing in stocks versus bonds is one of volatility in returns. Stock prices vary more than bond pric- es. It is extremely rare for the bond market to have negative returns for a year, but the stock market produces negative annual returns on a regular basis. Among our strategies, the Intermediate Bond Portfolio and the Inter- mediate Tax Exempt Portfolio focus on stability in returns. However, as one would expect, with greater risk of loss, comes greater potential returns. Historically, a diversi(cid:976)ied portfolio of large capitalization stocks has outper- formed a high grade bond portfolio, and both stocks and bonds have outperformed cash and in(cid:976)lation. The volatil- ity in historical returns, one measure of risk, is reduced for longer holding periods. If an investor is uncomforta- ble with the volatility of stock prices and returns, then the investor should consider (cid:976)ixed income investments where there is more security in returns. But for those investors who are comfortable with the risk of equities, because they can accept the argument that a long time horizon signi(cid:976)icantly increases the probability that they will achieve returns close to the long term historical average, the Blue Chip Strategy and the Small Cap Value Strategy are ideal. Our business principle of reducing risk for a given level of expected return guides all our investment strategies. The bond portfolio strategies limit risk as much as possible while providing competitive yields and total returns. Our bond strategies consider: 1) safety of principal, your investment in a bond; 2) liquidity, the minimization of transaction costs; and 3) total return, the cumulative price volatility and interest characteristics of a bond. Our stock portfolio strategies are based on proven methods for achieving returns consistent with a value strategy that has outperformed the broad market, historically. The large capitalization stock portfolio strategy seeks to match the broad market, while at the same time reducing portfolio expenses as much as possible. The small capitaliza- tion stock portfolio uses exhaustive methodology to reduce the risk of owning small cap stocks while simultane- ously providing the higher returns of small cap stocks. By applying our quantitative analytical approach to man- aging risk, the client’s potential for greater returns is enhanced. Page 4 Pinnacle Investment Advisors There are two features of our business approach which provide bene(cid:976)its to all our investment strategies. First, our low compensation costs are calculated as one-half percent (0.50% or (cid:976)ifty basis points) annually on the port- folio value for each of our strategies except the Small Cap Value Strategy which has an annual fee of one percent (1.00%) and our Convertible Securities Strategy which has a fee of three quarters of one percent (0.75%). Our fees are deducted in arrears and are calculated as a percentage of the market value of assets in the portfolio on the last day of the quarter. For example, under our Blue Chip strategy the management fee breaks down to 0.125% of the market value per quarter. We charge these fees on assets included in our strategies, for which we have authority and discretion to execute transactions in client accounts through a limited power of attorney. We may also charge fees on assets that are not part of our investment strategies, at rates to be negotiated with the client. Our incentive is in your best interest. As a fee-based money manager, we bene(cid:976)it only from increasing the total value of your portfolio. Second, we continuously seek to lower portfolio expenses. This gives our clients a greater probability of achiev- ing their investment goals. One way we reduce portfolio expenses is through very low turnover of investment positions. This is especially important for accounts subject to capital gains taxes because low portfolio turnover keeps you from suffering con(cid:976)iscatory tax rates on short term and long term gains. Allowing those gains to com- pound by earning gains on the increased portfolio value is a potent force in investing. Further, in order to provide the best service possible and to minimize your total portfolio expenses, we work with select brokers in the custo- dy and the execution of transactions. By working with these brokers, we are able to maintain greater control over the commission rates paid and we continuously seek to negotiate lower commission rates and transaction costs, especially through the use of block trades. Additional brokerage information is discussed in Section VII. Fee rates will be negotiable from time to time at our discretion and will be charged on the calendar quarter end for the prior quarter. If a client decides to terminate management of their portfolio prior to quarter end, fees ac- crued up to the termination date will be assessed based on the market value of the portfolio on termination date. A client may terminate their investment management contract at any time with written noti(cid:976)ication. For some client accounts for which mutual funds or exchange traded funds are recommended, the client may be charged management fees by the (cid:976)irm in addition to the management fee portion of the expense ratio of the mutual fund or ETF. Pinnacle provides consultation and employee education services for 401(k) plans and can provide asset alloca- tion analysis, portfolio analysis, and security analysis services for an hourly rate of $250.00. On December 31, 2024, the (cid:976)irm managed $444,271,972 on a discretionary basis and $10,899,660 for which we did not have full decision-making authority. Page 5 Pinnacle Investment Advisors P innacle Investment Advisors offers seven investment strategies to capture different market advantages. The composition of a portfolio amongst our strategies is based on the individual, their speci(cid:976)ic investment needs, (cid:976)inancial goals, and risk tolerance. »  The Short Term Bond Portfolio emphasizes liquidity and safety with very high quality securities with maturities less than one year. »  The Intermediate Bond Portfolio emphasizes total return with high quality securities. »  The Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio obtains a high level of income that is exempt from regular federal income tax available from municipal bonds. »  The Convertible Securities/High Yield Strategy seeks to provide high total return from income producing securities with the potential for capital appreciation. »  The Blue Chip Strategy seeks to provide performance similar to the Dow Jones Industrial Average. »  The Small Cap Value Strategy invests in companies that are considered undervalued on an objective basis using price/earnings multiples, book value, and cash (cid:976)low measures. »  The Midstream Energy Strategy seeks to provide high levels of tax sheltered income and the potential for capital appreciation through investing in publicly traded master limited partnerships and pipeline companies. Each of the list above comprise the proprietary portfolio strategies offered by Pinnacle Investment Advisors. The strategies can be blended to construct a balanced portfolio to meet the individual client’s investment objectives. The majority of the (cid:976)irm’s clients invest in more than one of the (cid:976)irm’s portfolio strategies for diversi(cid:976)ication purposes and to meet their income and growth goals. Pinnacle’s performance disclosure statement is included with this material and available online. The (cid:976)irm will have full discretion to implement these strategies once the client’s asset allocation guidelines are agreed upon when the investment management relationship is established. The client may limit the (cid:976)irm’s use of speci(cid:976)ic securities or sectors based on their individual circumstances and objectives. Page 6 Pinnacle Investment Advisors The (cid:976)irm manages each asset class strategy internally. The Chief Investment Of(cid:976)icer oversees the research efforts, security analysis, and portfolio construction performed by the investment team which includes the equity trader, (cid:976)ixed income analyst and trader, and the Managing Partner. The (cid:976)irm has investment policies for each asset class that de(cid:976)ine the eligible securities for the asset class. The team seeks to identify potential portfolio positions by performing research on an ongoing basis and reviewing reports from sell side analysts and other outside sources. The (cid:976)ixed income analyst and trader is responsible for selecting potential positions for the Short Term Bond Portfolio, Intermediate Bond Portfolio and Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio after consultation with the investment team. The Chief Investment Of(cid:976)icer and the investment team will determine the appropriate target duration and credit risk that is appropriate for the current economic environment. Within the investment policy guidelines and investment team recommended duration and credit quality, the (cid:976)ixed income analyst will seek offerings from his network of (cid:976)ixed income dealers through various forms of communication to achieve low cost execution of transactions. The Chief Investment Of(cid:976)icer manages the Small Cap Value Strategy and the Midstream Energy Strategy. The investment team generates ideas for potential positions for each strategy, which the CIO then researches, analyzes, and evaluates. Some candidates are added to the watchlist for the strategy and may be purchased for the portfolio when the CIO deems them eligible. The CIO instructs the equity trader when to purchase positions for the Small Cap Value Strategy and the Midstream Energy Strategy within certain parameters. The equity trader follows the (cid:976)irm’s trade execution policies to (cid:976)ill the positions for each client in the strategy. Management of the Convertible Securities/High Yield Strategy will be overseen by the Chief Investment Of(cid:976)icer in consultation with the Fixed Income Analyst and Trader and subject to the (cid:976)irm’s Investment Policy that limits position concentration, credit quality, and average maturity. The intent of the strategy is to provide performance consistent with the high yield (cid:976)ixed income sector with potential for greater appreciation due to the imbedded conversion option. The Chief Investment Of(cid:976)icer and the Fixed Income Analyst and Trader will jointly manage the strategy with input from the investment team. They will conduct fundamental analysis of the issuer’s underlying equity and credit quality prior or making a decision regarding a speci(cid:976)ic security for the portfolio. The (cid:976)irm seeks to minimize portfolio management costs using individual securities. By eliminating the costs of mutual funds or exchange traded funds, the (cid:976)irm reduces the ongoing expense of investing in securities. The risk of using individual securities in client portfolios is the potential for an individual security to substantially decline in value. Active management of equity portfolios typically incurs higher management fees than passive index funds. The (cid:976)irm relies on a small staff to oversee the management of the securities portfolios. Page 7 Document Title Document Title Document Title Document Title Pinnacle Investment Advisors Advantages: 1. Competitive Returns - relative to similar short-term investments 2. Safety - U.S. Government and Agency guaranteed securities 3. Quantitative Analysis - less price volatility and high credit quality translate into greater liquidity 4. Low Cost - management fees are lower than the average short-term bond mutual fund Investment Goal: The primary goal of Pinnacle’s Short Term Bond Portfolio is safety of principal with competitive returns as a secondary objective. The Portfolio invests in bonds backed by the Full Faith and Credit of the U.S. Government and its Agencies with a two-year maturity limit. Investor Pro(cid:976)ile: For the investor whose overriding objective is to preserve capital, Pinnacle’s Short Term Bond Portfolio offers the safety and credit quality of the U.S. Government in addition to the low price volatility of short-term bonds. The Portfolio has more price risk than a money market fund but the (cid:976)luctuation in the value of the Portfolio is expected to be very low when compared to long term bonds and stocks. Portfolio Strategy: Pinnacle’s Short Term Bond Portfolio invests in securities with a direct guarantee of the payment of principal and interest by the Federal Government of the United States and its Agencies. These securities are deemed to be the safest quality bonds available. The portfolio managers seek to provide competitive rates of return through management of the average maturity of the Portfolio between a range of one and two years. Management Fee: 0.25% (one-quarter percent) annually of the market value of assets in the portfolio. The average short-term bond mutual fund expense ratio is 0.71%. Current Yield: The portfolio currently yields over 4.50% during the fourth quarter of 2024.

The Portfolio invests in investment grade corporate bonds in addition to a core holding of bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury or Federal Agencies. Investor Pro(cid:976)ile: The Intermediate Bond Portfolio is for the investor who is looking for greater taxable income from a bond portfolio without taking the risk of low credit quality “junk bonds” or the price volatility risk of long-term bonds. The Portfolio has more price risk than a short-term bond portfolio but the (cid:976)luctuation in the value of the Portfolio is expected to be lower than long-term bonds and stocks. Portfolio Strategy: Pinnacle’s Intermediate Bond Portfolio invests in securities that are issued by the U.S. Government and its Agencies. These securities have the highest rating of bonds available in the market. Also, the portfolio managers seek to enhance the Portfolio’s return through the purchase of investment grade corporate bonds that offer yield advantages over government bonds. The average maturity of Pinnacle’s Intermediate Bond Portfolio is typically between 3-7 years. Management Fee: 0.50% (one-half percent) annually of the market value of assets in the portfolio. The average corporate bond mutual fund expense ratio is 0.73%. NOTES: Page 9 Page 9 Page 9 Page 9 Page 9 * Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Portfolio invests in high quality investment grade municipal bonds. Investor Pro(cid:976)ile: The Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio is for the investor who is looking for greater after-tax income than is available from taxable bonds. In addition, the Portfolio will seek to purchase bonds that are exempt from state income taxes depending on the investor’s state income tax rate. The Portfolio has less price risk than municipal bond funds that invest in long-term bonds. Portfolio Strategy: Pinnacle’s Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio invests in investment grade municipal bonds. The portfolio manager will purchase bonds that pass a stringent test for credit quality. High after-tax total return will be the objective of Pinnacle’s Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio given an average maturity typically between three and ten years. Management Fee: 0.50% (one-half percent) annually of the market value of assets in the portfolio. The average municipal bond mutual fund expense ratio is 0.66%.

The Strategy invests in convertible corporate bonds and convertible preferred stocks of publicly traded companies. Convertible securities typically pay higher interest or dividends than common stocks and are exchangeable into the common stock of the issuing company. If the price of the common stock rises, the convertible security will increase in value also. If the price of the common stock falls, the convertible investor receives the higher income of a bond or preferred stock. Investor Pro(cid:976)ile: The Convertible/High Yield Portfolio is for the investor who desires high levels of income from their portfolio with the added potential for capital appreciation. Convertible securities, as an asset class, display more risk than bonds yet less risk than stocks. The returns associated with convertible securities, when adjusted for risk (as measured by price volatility) were higher than large capitalization stocks during the past (cid:976)ifteen years. Portfolio Strategy: Pinnacle’s Convertible/High Yield Strategy invests in a diversi(cid:976)ied portfolio of convertible securities. The portfolio manager seeks companies that are trading at a discount to book value, a low price to earnings multiple, or a low price ratio to projected cash (cid:976)low. This approach lowers the risk of a diversi(cid:976)ied portfolio while retaining the potential high returns of the underlying equities. Page 11 Page 11 Page 11 Page 11 Management Fee: 0.75% (three-quarters of one percent) annually of the market value of assets in the portfolio.

The Dow has consistently produced the best returns among major market indices. This strategy has very low turnover and low transaction costs. Investor Pro(cid:976)ile: The Blue Chip Portfolio is for the investor that is seeking returns consistent with the long-term historical average of large capitalization stocks. This passively managed strategy should provide higher after tax returns than an actively managed growth and income fund due to low turnover and low transaction costs. Portfolio Strategy: Pinnacle’s Blue Chip Portfolio is structured to provide performance similar to the Dow Industrials. It is a passively managed strategy in which turnover is expected to average less than 10% annually. The low turnover allows capital gains to compound for a longer time period, resulting in higher after tax returns. Management Fee: 0.50% (one-half percent) annually of the market value of assets in the portfolio. The average growth and income mutual fund expense ratio is 1.22%.

Since 1926, small company stocks have outperformed large company stocks by approximately 2.0%. Investor Pro(cid:976)ile: The Small Cap Value Portfolio is for the investor who understands the relationship between risk and reward. Small company stocks as an asset class have more risk than large company stocks. However, this higher risk has produced higher long-term returns. Portfolio Strategy: Pinnacle’s Small Cap Value Portfolio invests in a diversi(cid:976)ied portfolio of small company stocks. The portfolio manager seeks companies that are trading at a discount to book value, a low price to earnings multiple, or a low ratio to projected cash (cid:976)low. This approach lowers the risk of a diversi(cid:976)ied portfolio while retaining the potential high returns of small company stocks.

Investor Pro(cid:976)ile: The Midstream Energy Strategy is for the investor who desires high levels of income from their portfolio with the added potential for capital appreciation, while accepting the increased income tax preparation activities from partnership tax reporting. Midstream Energy and Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs): Master Limited Partnerships are similar in structure to traditional limited partnerships. The primary difference is that MLPs qualify to trade on public stock exchanges or over-the-counter. For tax purposes, MLPs are considered by the IRS to be pass-through entities so their operating results are passed through to the limited partners, called unit holders. The Revenue Act of 1987 required publicly traded MLPs to receive at least 90% of their income from specific sources, particularly mineral or natural resource activities including exploration, development, production, mining, refining, marketing, and transportation of oil, gas, minerals, geothermal energy, or timber. Recently, some MLPs have converted to corporations. Most midstream companies generate stable cash flows from operations which lead to a relatively stable distributions and dividends. They are involved in businesses that are considered mature with moderate growth prospects and substantial cash flow generation. The majority of MLPs do not take commodity price risk but act as transporters or distributors and take a fee for service, similar to a utility. Some of the more aggressively managed midstream companies have used their cost of capital advantage to make numerous acquisitions that are financed through debt and issuance of new equity. This strategy has led to significant increases in distributable cash flow and price appreciation for “growth MLPs” employing this strategy. Portfolio Strategy: Pinnacle’s Midstream Energy Strategy invests in MLPs and corporations that have the ability to increase their distributions/dividends on a consistent basis. “Growth” MLPs offer the best potential for capital appreciation and protection against rising interest rates. The strategy holds positions in various types of MLPs in order to diversify its asset base and midstream companies that pay tax- advantaged dividends.

Pinnacle Investment Advisors I n addition to securities portfolio management, Pinnacle Investment Advisors offers comprehensive (cid:976)inancial planning services to our clients. Financial planning can help to achieve both greater wealth and (cid:976)inancial security. Inadequate or improper planning can be (cid:976)inancially disastrous. An uninsured loss can wipe out accumulated wealth; insuf(cid:976)icient savings for retirement can force a reduced lifestyle and/or postponement of retirement; and improper tax planning can result in higher than necessary taxes. A true (cid:976)inancial plan does not focus on one aspect or product, but instead seeks to take all areas of planning into consideration when making (cid:976)inancial decisions. They include:  Tax Planning and Management - This area focuses on the understanding of and application of federal and state income tax law, estate and inheritance taxes; and, when possible, minimizing these taxes.  Cash Flow Management - This aspect of planning deals with the day to day sources of income; and its effective use in paying current living expenses and in accumulating assets which will be used in meeting (cid:976)inancial goals.  Retirement Planning and Management: Financial Independence - By far the most common accumulation goal is the ability to become (cid:976)inancially independent. Retirement strategies encompass the understanding of the Social Security system; employer- sponsored retirement plans, IRA’s; and personal savings accumulation plans.  Investment Planning and Management - Almost everyone has accumulation goals for which investments must be made and managed. These could include buying a home; planning for college; or providing for retirement.  Estate Planning and Management - The (cid:976)inal phase of planning is for the transfer of assets to our heirs with minimization of taxes and other costs.  Risk Planning and Management - This area of planning deals with the risk of losing life, income, or property. It includes the use of insurance products and strategies.  Education Planning - This area of planning deals with capital needs and cash (cid:976)low management to direct capital in the most ef(cid:976)icient manner to meet the goals. Pinnacle Investment Advisors is a fee-only comprehensive (cid:976)inancial planning (cid:976)irm. We do not receive any compensation from commissions, reimbursed cost, or referral fees.

The idea of relative val- P innacle Investment Advisors was established to provide competitive investment ue, the objective comparison of risk and return, guides both our approach to service and our investment decisions. Our investment philosophy is driven by the principle of mini- mizing risk while capturing the most competitive rates of return. Service Priorities  Provide competitive rates of return on a consistent, long term basis  Design unique investment strategies  Tailor each portfolio to the individual client’s objectives  Explore new (cid:976)inancial products  Communicate ef(cid:976)iciently and effectively with our clients  Link our incentive to the client’s best interest  Contribute to our community as the (cid:976)irm grows At Pinnacle Investment Advisors, we believe that relative value in (cid:976)inancial markets is bet- ter understood and attained through objective methods. We do not rely on our “market instincts” to guide investment decisions. Rather, we calculate risk versus reward through solid quantitative analysis of fundamental (cid:976)inancial ratios. Our competitive advantage lies in the experienced analytical abilities of our portfolio managers, grounded in their strong (cid:976)inancial and accounting backgrounds. At Pinnacle, superior investment performance is achieved by using this investment expertise to determine when to buy and when to sell, based on objective calculations of relative value.

The Intermediate Bond Portfolio seeks higher yields and total return than are available with short term bonds. The Portfo- lio invests in investment grade corporate bonds in addition to core holdings of U.S. Treasury and Federal Agency securities with an average intermediate maturity of three to seven years. Creation date – June 1995. Minimum Size Threshold: $50,000 in asset class. 3. The Tax Exempt Bond Portfolio seeks to provide a high level of income that is exempt from regular federal income taxes. The Portfolio invests in high quality municipal bonds with an intermediate average maturity of three to seven years. Crea- tion date – June, 1995. Minimum Size Threshold: $50,000 in asset class. 4. The (cid:976)irm’s high yield strategy seeks to generate high total returns from income producing securities with the potential for capital appreciation. The strategy invests in convertible corporate bonds, convertible preferred stocks, and corporate bonds. The conversion option imbedded in the securities allows for capital appreciation potential should the issuer’s com- mon stock perform well. Many holdings in this strategy are rated below investment grade by the major ratings agencies or are unrated. Creation date – January 1997. Minimum Size Threshold: $100,000 in asset class. 5. The Midstream Energy Strategy invests in publicly traded partnerships and C-corporations that produce high levels of tax sheltered income with the potential for capital appreciation. Composite inception date – December 2000. Minimum Size Threshold: $50,000 in asset class. 6. Blue Chip Strategy - The large company stock strategy seeks to provide performance similar to the Dow Jones Industrials. The Dow Industrials offer attractive performance over long time periods with low turnover and low transaction costs. Cre- ation date – January 1996. Minimum Size Threshold: $50,000 in asset class. 7. The Small Cap Value Strategy seeks to provide returns consistent with the long term historical average of Page 21 small company stocks. Small company stock values tend to be more volatile than large company stocks but they have generated higher returns over long periods of time. Creation date – December 1994. Minimum Size Pinnacle Investment Advisors Threshold: $30,000 in asset class. 8. Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. dollars. 9. Gross-of-fees returns are presented before management and custodial fees but after all trading expenses. Net-of-fees re- turns are calculated based on actual fees.. The effect of management fees on the client’s return would reduce the total re- turn by the amount of the management fee according to the management fee schedule. (The (cid:976)irm reserves the right to ne- gotiate management fees.) The Firm may charge fees on non-discretionary assets or other assets not de(cid:976)ined in the catego- ries above at rates to be negotiated with the client. For some client accounts for which mutual funds or exchange traded funds are recommended, the client may be charged management fees by the (cid:976)irm in addition to the management fee por- tion of the expense ratio of the mutual fund or ETF. 10. A complete list of composite descriptions is available upon request. 11. Internal dispersion is calculated using the highest and lowest rate of annual gross returns of those portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year. 12. The three-year annualized standard deviation measures the variability of the composite gross returns and the benchmark returns over the preceding 36-month period. 13.

The services that Schwab provides include custody of the client’s assets, securities trading, research, access to mutual funds, and other investments that are otherwise generally only available to institutional investors or would require a signi(cid:976)icantly higher minimum initial investment. Schwab is compensated through commissions or other transaction related fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts. Schwab makes available other products and services that bene(cid:976)it Pinnacle but may not bene(cid:976)it its clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology that provide access to client account data, facilitate trade execution, provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of management fees, and assist with back-of(cid:976)ice func- tions, record keeping, and client reporting. The (cid:976)irm has a similar arrangement with J.P. Morgan Securities. The (cid:976)irm will attempt to negotiate low commission rates based on the size of the transaction, and that commission rate will apply to all clients. There will be no special arrangements with any particular broker. When block trades are executed, each client will receive the same average price on the security involved. More information regarding the (cid:976)irm’s portfolio management pol- icies is contained in the (cid:976)irm’s written compliance policies and procedures. Management fees can be deducted from the client’s account with written permission or billed directly to the client. The Small Cap Value Strategy, Convertible Securities/High Yield Strategy, and the Midstream Energy Strategy charge higher management fees than the Blue Chip Strategy and the (cid:976)ixed in- come portfolios. Therefore, the client should be aware that the (cid:976)irm has an incentive to recom- mend the higher fee strategies. Private Funds: Pinnacle acts as managing member of Pinnacle Acquisition Fund II, a private investment part- nership and has a proprietary interest in the fund. Pinnacle Acquisition Fund II is a limited liabil- ity company whose members consist solely of accredited investors. The company was formed to buy and sell publicly traded securities, using margin transactions for leverage, and using options on interest rate futures, options on common stocks, options on index futures, and short sale po- sitions for hedging purposes. Pinnacle receives a share of the pro(cid:976)its and losses of the company. Pinnacle receives performance fees for Pinnacle Acquisition Fund II in addition to management fees; we receive a 10% share of the net income from Pinnacle Acquisition Fund II. Pinnacle also acts as a managing partner for Pinnacle Income Partners II, an Oklahoma limited liability company that was formed to invest in publicly traded master limited partnerships. The fund pays a management fee to Pinnacle for acting as a managing partner. Membership in the companies is restricted to accredited investors only. Pinnacle has a proprietary interest in Pin- nacle Income Partners II and is eligible to receive a performance based fee (in addition to the management fee) of 1.0% of assets under management, if the annual return exceeds 12.0% in a Page 24 Pinnacle Investment Advisors given calendar year, after the normal management fee. Pinnacle acts as a managing member of Coronado Capital, an Oklahoma limited liability company formed to invest in publicly traded small and regional banks. Pinnacle is eligible to receive a 15% share of annual return in excess of the 12% hurdle rate. Due to the receipt of performance fees on the private funds, a potential con(cid:976)lict of interest exists between the (cid:976)irm and its separately managed client accounts. The (cid:976)irm could bene(cid:976)it by allocating pro(cid:976)itable trades to the private funds instead of to the separate client accounts. One way to avoid this con(cid:976)lict is through the timing of placement of orders as described in the paragraph below. More information about this potential con(cid:976)lict of interest is addressed in the (cid:976)irm’s written compli- ance policies and procedures and is available upon request. As a managing member, Pinnacle In- vestment Advisors solicits current and prospective clients for investment in Pinnacle Acquisition Fund II, Pinnacle Income Partners II, and Coronado Capital LLC. Since the (cid:976)irm receives perfor- mance fees, there exists a potential con(cid:976)lict of interest for the (cid:976)irm to recommend the private funds to potential clients. Related persons, including the private funds, will by policy be the last order (cid:976)illed when purchases and sales of recommended securities are executed for managed portfolios. The speci(cid:976)ic policies and procedures are de(cid:976)ined in the (cid:976)irm’s written compliance policies. Related persons will be re- quired to obtain prior approval from one of the Managing Partners before entering an order. Du- plicate copies of all related person transactions will be kept on (cid:976)ile with the (cid:976)irm’s books and rec- ords. Due to the risk of the (cid:976)irm having constructive custody of the assets of the private funds, the (cid:976)irm has developed policies and procedures to comply with the SEC’s Custody Rule. The assets of the private funds are held at quali(cid:976)ied independent custodians. Mysock, Chevaillier, and Birdsong of Tulsa, Oklahoma, receives brokerage statements directly from the fund custodians and produces the quarterly (cid:976)inancial statements and annual tax returns. The (cid:976)irm has engaged Briscoe, Burke & Grigsby LLP of Tulsa, Oklahoma, to provide surprise examinations of fund assets and verify ac- count balances with the fund investors for Pinnacle Income Partners II. The (cid:976)irm has retained Briscoe, Burke, and Grigsby of Tulsa, Oklahoma to audit the (cid:976)inancial statements of the other pri- vate funds. Pinnacle Holdings controls the operational management of Pinnacle Investment Advisors. Pinnacle Investment Advisors has an operations agreement with Native American Fund Advisors, a Regis- tered Investment Advisor. Pinnacle Investment Advisors acts as the sub-advisor to the managed accounts of Native American Fund Advisors. The client accounts of Native American Fund Advisors are managed in strategies that are similar to Pinnacle Investment Advisors. Mr. Joel Kantor, a supervised person of the (cid:976)irm, is a partner with Mimosa Tree Capital Partners, a private equity investment (cid:976)irm. Mr. Kantor allocates approximately 40% of his work hours to Mi- mosa responsibilities and receives compensation from Mimosa. The investments Mimosa makes are in private companies, therefore they do not con(cid:976)lict with the recommended securities for Pin- nacle Investment Advisors clients. The (cid:976)irm has referral agreement with Mr. James A. Posey, Jr., a registered representative with USI Page 25 Pinnacle Investment Advisors Insurance Services. Under this agreement, Mr. Posey receives a 20% management fee split for all clients he refers to Pinnacle for investment management. These clients must sign a disclosure statement in order for Mr. Posey to receive their share of fees. As a registered advisor, Pinnacle has adopted a code of ethics, based on the CFA Institute Asset Manager Code, pursuant to SEC Rule 204A-1 which is available upon request. Pinnacle is responsi- ble for voting the proxy materials of supervised assets. The (cid:976)irm’s written proxy voting policy and voting history is available upon request. The (cid:976)irm disclaims responsibility for voting the proxies for unsupervised assets. Clients may instruct the (cid:976)irm how to vote their unsupervised securities at their discretion. Pinnacle Investment Advisors founded the Tulsa Fiduciary Fund in the fourth quarter of 2021. Tulsa Fiduciary Fund is a non-pro(cid:976)it, 501(c)-3 corporation, formed to provide transparent invest- ment management and administration for donor advised funds that bene(cid:976)it non-pro(cid:976)it organiza- tions in Tulsa and northeast Oklahoma. The (cid:976)irm receives a share of the fees charged to the Fund for administration and management of the investment accounts, therefore a potential con(cid:976)lict of interest is present. The (cid:976)irm may be incentivized to direct clients to contribute to the Tulsa Fiduci- ary Fund rather than other non-pro(cid:976)it organization endowments. The (cid:976)irm will fully disclose the potential revenues received from contributions to the fund. The Fund will have an independent board of directors responsible for oversight and management of the Fund. Mr. Jayme Fowler joined the (cid:976)irm in 2023. Mr. Fowler performs investment consulting and portfo- lio management services for clients through Oak Creek Private Wealth Management, a subsidiary of Pinnacle Holdings. Mr. Fowler primarily uses external investment managers and funds and per- forms due diligence on recommended managers through Envestnet.
