Platform Technology Partners is wholly owned by United Atlantic Capital, LLC. Platform Technology Partners provides investment supervisory and investment advisory services, and also provides financial consultation services for our clients, which includes individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organization, corporations, and business entities. Platform Technology Partners has a minimum size of $100,000 per relationship (which may include the aggregate of multiple accounts for any one relationship) which shall be pro-rated pursuant to the billing practices as described in Item 5 of this Brochure. The firm’s minimum account size may be waived at our sole discretion. Our firm will manage portfolios of publicly traded securities, which consist primarily of common stocks, other securities, such as preferred stocks, bonds, debentures, warrants, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, investment company securities, which include variable life insurance, variable annuities, mutual fund shares, U.S. government securities, and options contracts on securities. We may also recommend the potential investment by clients in privately held entities such as illiquid alternative investments, hedge funds, etc. consistent with the client’s investment objectives. Certain of these potential investments will be in private funds. Some of our employees and principals may also be investors in these entities. This may present a conflict of interest which we address by full and fair disclosure to our clients. We offer qualified clients an opportunity to invest in certain funds or strategies in which we also serve as the investment manager. These investments are available to clients who are suitable and meet the investment minimums. See item 10 for more information including conflicts of interest related to these investments. As described in Item 5 of this Brochure, Platform Technology Partners, depending on the engagement, offers its services on a fee basis including hourly and/or fixed fees and fees based on assets under management. Prior to engaging our firm to provide any of the foregoing investment advisory services, the client will be required to enter into one or more written agreements with us setting forth the terms and conditions under which we shall provide our services (collectively the “Agreement”). Platform Technology Partners may provide discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to clients relative to brokerage/qualified accounts, variable life/annuity products that they may own, and/or their individual employer-  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 sponsored retirement plans. Individual client accounts are managed pursuant to the client’s advisory agreement. The firm offers many services through our network of investment advisory representatives (“IARs”). IARs may conduct advisory services under a trade name (i.e., “Doing Business As” or “DBA “) or other corporate structure that is held out to the public for marketing purposes. Platform Technology Partners does not have any ownership interest in the IARs’ trade name or other corporate structure. Our IARs negotiate the advisory fees charged to the client, which cannot exceed the advisory fee(s) listed in Item 5 of this Brochure. While not the primary focus of their business, PTP IARs may also be registered representatives of an unaffiliated broker/dealer firm, and may also be licensed insurance representatives. Additional Information regarding the nature of the relationship between IARs is described in Items 5 and 10.

The firm may only implement its investment management recommendations after the client has arranged for and furnished Platform Technology Partners with all information and authorization regarding accounts with appropriate financial institutions. As discussed in Item 15 of this Brochure, Platform Technology Partners generally recommends that clients utilize our preferred custodial firms. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that Platform Technology Partners reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account. Platform Technology Partners may consult with its clients about the options and ramifications of transferring securities. However, clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level, (i.e., contingent deferred sales charge) and/or tax ramifications. clients who engage PTP to provide advisory services must play an active role. Platform Technology Partners requires the client to participate in the formation of 5  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 the investment plan, investment advice and recommendations. Clients may call the office to discuss their portfolio(s) or ask questions, but Platform Technology However, clients are obligated to immediately Partners recommends that clients initiate a meeting with Platform Technology inform Platform Technology Partners of any changes in their financial Partners no less than annually. situation or to impose any reasonable restrictions upon Platform Technology Partners’ Investment Advisory Services . Neither Platform Technology Partners nor the client may assign the Agreement without the consent of the other party. Transactions that do not result in a change of actual control or management of Platform Technology Partners shall not be considered an assignment. A copy of Platform Technology Partners’ privacy policy notice and a written disclosure statement that meets the requirements of Rule 204- 3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Advisers Act"), shall be provided to each Client prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of the Agreement. The firm also offers investment advice to retirement plans such as 401(k) plans and other retirement plans or related entities regarding the type of securities or investments which should be included as investment options for the plan participants. Platform Technology Partners also offers various allocation strategies and investment advice to individual plan participants based upon the participant’s particular investment objectives which include the use of various retirement resource platforms offering, among other investments, a selection of mutual funds offered by a variety of mutual fund complexes. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule’s provisions, we must: • investment • financial interests ahead of yours when making • interest, fees, and • • Meet a professional standard of care when making recommendations (give prudent advice); Never put our recommendations (give loyal advice); Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of investments; Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest; Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and 6  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 • Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. Platform Technology Partners has a total of approximately $1,090,849,298.41 in assets under management as of December 31, 2024, of which $69,000,493 is managed on a non-discretionary basis. Financial Consultation Services Platform Technology Partners is available to provide financial consultation services (which may include non-investment-related matters such as business consulting). Financial consultation services are provided on an hourly or flat-fee project basis and terminate upon delivery. When financial consultation services only focus on certain areas of client interests, needs or is otherwise limited, clients must understand that their overall financial and investment needs and objectives may not be considered because of time and/or service restraints placed on Platform Technology Partners’ services. Clients requiring assistance on issues relating to matters outside of investment advisory topics should consult their personal tax advisor, legal counsel, or other professionals for expert opinions. When providing plan-related services, the advice and recommendations are limited to plan offerings. The advice provided by Platform Technology Partners may include recommendations for updates and reviews. Platform Technology Partners may suggest the client work closely with their attorney, accountant, insurance agent, and the custodian of their account. Implementation of any advice or recommendations pertaining to non-securities matters (such as insurance), in whole or in part, is entirely at the client’s discretion via the service provider(s) of their choice. Consultation services terminate upon the delivery of services unless ongoing services are engaged pursuant to the Client Agreement. Prior to conclusion, services may be immediately terminated upon written notice from either party and the client will only be invoiced for time incurred by Platform Technology Partners up until the effective date of termination or prepaid but unearned fees will be refunded. Rollover Recommendations To the extent we provide you investment advice as a participant in a retirement plan regarding whether to maintain investments and/or proceeds in the retirement plan, roll over such investment/proceeds from the retirement plan to a Rollover IRA or make a distribution from the retirement plan, Platform Technology Partners hereby acknowledges our fiduciary obligations to you with regard to our investment advice about whether to maintain, roll over or distribute proceeds 7  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 from the retirement plan, and as such a fiduciary with respect to its investment advice to you about whether to maintain, roll over or distribute proceeds from the retirement plan. Our investment advisor representatives are required to act with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims, based on the investment objectives, risk, tolerance, financial circumstances, and a client’s needs, without regard to the financial or other interests of Platform Technology Partners or our affiliated personnel. To the extent we recommend you roll over your account from a current retirement plan to an individual retirement account (“Rollover IRA”), managed by Platform Technology Partners please know that our firm and our investment adviser representatives have a conflict of interest. We can earn increased investment advisory fees by recommending that you roll over your account at the retirement plan to a Rollover IRA managed by Platform Technology Partners. We will earn fewer investment advisory fees if you do not roll over the funds in the retirement plan to a Rollover IRA managed by Platform Technology Partners. Thus, our investment adviser representatives have an economic incentive to recommend a rollover of funds from a retirement plan to a Rollover IRA which is a conflict of interest because our recommendation that you open an IRA account to be managed by our firm can be based on our economic incentive and not based exclusively on whether or not moving the IRA to our management program is in your overall best interest. We have taken steps to manage this conflict of interest. We have adopted an impartial conduct standard whereby our investment adviser representatives will (i) provide investment advice to a retirement plan participant regarding a rollover of funds from the retirement plan in accordance with the fiduciary status described below, (ii) not recommend investments which result in Platform Technology Partners receiving unreasonable compensation related to the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to a Rollover IRA, and (iii) fully disclose compensation received by Platform Technology Partners and our supervised persons and any material conflicts of interest related to recommending the rollover of funds from the retirement plan to a Rollover IRA and refrain from making any materially misleading statements regarding such rollover. 8  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 5 Fees and Compensation Asset Based Fees for Advisory Clients For our advisory clients, Platform Technology Partners shall generally charge an annual fee based upon a percentage of the average daily value of the assets being managed. The annual fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Platform Technology Partners’ annual fee shall be prorated and charged either monthly or quarterly, in arrears, based upon the average daily value of the assets over the previous month or quarter as determined by the custodial firm. As discussed in Item 4 of this Brochure, Platform Technology Partners requests a minimum portfolio size of $100,000 per relationship (which may include the aggregate of multiple accounts for any one relationship). Platform Technology Partners, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge a lesser management fee or to accept a lower minimum portfolio size based upon certain criteria (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, pro bono activities, etc.). Total Management Fees You and your IAR will agree on your total annual management fee for each account prior to establishing the account. The total annual management fee is the sum of the program fee, advisory fee, and administration fee(s). The advisory fee may be amended by a client and an IAR through the submission of a new investment advisory agreement with a different fee schedule. There are maximum allowable annual advisory fees for each program, and we will not allow you to be charged more than this amount. The maximum allowable advisory fee will differ between programs and the structure of your account(s). This maximum total fee is noted in the investment advisory agreement and may not exceed 3.00%. Fee Schedules Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account(s) at any time, subject to Platform Technology Partners’ right to terminate an account . Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to Platform Technology Partners, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. Platform Technology Partners designs its portfolios as long-term investments and assets withdrawals may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. For the initial month of Investment Advisory Services, the first month’s fees shall be calculated on a pro rata basis. As discussed in Item 4 of this Brochure, the Agreement between Platform Technology Partners and the Client will continue in effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Platform 9  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 Technology Partners’ monthly fee shall be prorated through the date of termination and any remaining balance shall be charged or refunded to the Client, as appropriate, in a timely manner. Advisory fees for Investment Advisory Services are generally paid through a debit directly to the client’s account by the qualified custodian holding the client’s funds and securities. The following criteria is met in accordance with the Advisers Act, when payment is made via a qualified custodian: (1) The client provides written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from the client’s account held by the independent qualified custodian and the authorization is limited to withdrawing contractually agreed upon Investment Adviser fees; (2) The frequency of fee withdrawal shall be specified in the written authorization/agreement; (3) The qualified custodian of the account(s) shall be advised in writing of the limitation on PTP’s access to the account; (4) The custodian agrees to send to the client, a statement, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of advisory fees paid directly to PTP; (5) The client shall be able to terminate the written billing authorization or agreement at any time. In addition to the general debits to the client’s account by the qualified custodian as described above, fees may be paid to us by check, as outlined in the specific investment advisory agreement. In such instances, we will send an invoice to the client for the fees owed. In addition, depending on the program, fees may be paid to us by clients via credit card. As described above, we may invest certain of our client’s assets in private funds that are managed by us. These entities are created to meet certain minimum investment requirements of hedge funds, private equity funds and other similar fund investments that we have determined would be suitable for clients. We act as the manager for the funds and in this capacity, we receive asset-based management fees on the aggregated capital commitments, and the investors in the funds share certain administrative expenses in the funds. In addition to the management fees described above, for some of the private funds under our management, we will receive performance-based fees in the form of carried interest that is paid to our affiliate(s) who serve as general partner of each existing private fund. These distributions are performance-based fees and are described in the funds’ subscription agreements. A full description of these arrangements is disclosed in the relevant offering documents provided to clients and clients are required to consent to such arrangements. e g Clients may incur certain charges imposed by the Financial Institution(s) and other third parties including, but not limited to, fees charged by Independent Managers (as defined below), custodial fees, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or exchange traded fund in the account, which shall be disclosed in the fund's ., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred sales prospectus ( 10  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 charges, odd lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Additionally, for assets outside of any wrap fee programs, clients may incur brokerage commissions and transaction fees. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Platform Technology Partners’ fee. Some mutual funds pay 12b-1 service fees (0.25% per year on average) to the Custodian. The mutual funds that Platform Technology Partners could purchase or recommend offer a variety of share classes, including some that do not charge 12b- 1 fees and are, therefore, less expensive. These fee arrangements will be disclosed upon request of a client and are available in the applicable fund prospectus. When deciding whether to invest in a mutual fund share classes are compared and reviewed along with the anticipated investment period and other costs to determine the best selection for the client at that time. Mutual funds carrying 12b-1 fees may be recommended when seen as an overall benefit to the client. For example, a lower share class may not be available to Platform Technology Partners; or mutual funds that charge 12b-1 fees are transferred into Platform Technology Partners. Periodically, Platform Technology Partners will review any holdings with 12b-1 fees to see if there is a lower cost share class available to consider switching into. Platform Technology Partners does not receive any part of the fees charged by Mutual Funds. Financial Consultation Services Fees for Financial Consultation Services are determined at the time of engagement based upon the time and effort required and/or the nature and complexity of services. Financial Consultation Service is negotiable and may be billed on a flat-fee or hourly basis. Hourly fees range between $100 to $300 per hour, depending upon the nature and complexity of services. Platform Technology Partners may require a retainer equal to ½ of the proposed project fee to schedule Financial Consultation services. Thereafter, the project balance is invoiced six months after the engagement begins but fees are invoiced monthly. Should the client’s financial condition change during services such that new advice, recommendations or research are required, or Platform Technology Partners must revise its advice, recommendations or other services, additional fees will apply. Platform Technology Partners will not engage in additional services that result in fees without the client’s approval. Platform Technology Partners may recommend the services of itself and/or other professionals to implement recommendations. Potential Conflicts Our employees, Investment Adviser Representatives (IARs) and other related persons of PTP may have accounts in our Programs that they recommend to 11  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 advisory clients. In addition, our IARs may also own securities through outside brokerage accounts and may buy or sell securities that clients also own in their accounts. Investment decisions made for our employees, IARs and related persons are subject to our Code of Ethics. At all times, our employees, IARs and related persons are bound by our Code of Ethics to act in clients’ best interests. Please see further discussion of our Code of Ethics beginning on page 15 of this Brochure. The individual IARs may cover some or all the ticket charges or investment program fees associated with a client’s account(s) on a case-by-case basis. Such fee accommodations may create potential conflicts of interest and could result in less frequent trading in client accounts. This potential conflict of interest is monitored by PTP’s CCO and designated supervisors of the firm.At the onset of an IAR’s affiliation with Platform Technology Partners, each IAR enters into an Independent Business Affiliate Agreement with Platform Technology Partners whereby the firm provides client servicing, technology, and compliance services for a fee. While our IARs are supervised persons, the receipt of compensation for services rendered to our IARs may create a potential conflict of interest to service the IARs and clients of IARs which provide PTP greater compensation. The majority of our IARs are independent contractors and not employees of Platform Technology Partners or Spire Securities, LLC. IARs may own, operate, be employed by, or otherwise maintain affiliations with other business entities such as insurance agencies, law firms, real estate or mortgage companies, financial planning firms and/or accounting firms. Many of these IARs market their services under a different DBA and/or as an outside business activity. This may cause an IAR to focus more of their time on their non-Advisory businesses. PTP’s CCO and/or their designee monitors the IARs’ outside business activities to ensure all conflicts have been identified and obligations of the adviser are being fulfilled. Conflicts may arise in the allocation of investment opportunities among accounts that we manage. We strive to allocate investment opportunities believed to be appropriate for your account(s) and other accounts advised by our firm among such accounts equitably and consistent with the best interests of all accounts involved. However, there can be no assurance that the particular investment opportunity that comes to our attention will be allocated in any particular manner. Platform Technology Partners invests certain qualified clients in funds managed by Ursula Capital Partners, LP depending on their risk tolerance and investment goals. Clients should be aware that investments in Private Funds generally carry additional fees outside of the management fee. These additional fees may be in the form of fund expenses, incentive fees, carried interest, etc. Clients invested in the Ursula Capital Partners, LP are not charged an asset management fee by PTP on investments in the fund, however, Ursula Capital will charge an asset management 12  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 fee on those assets. Please see item 10 for additional disclosures on Ursula Capital and Platform Technology Partners affiliation and revenue. sharing. 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management For separately managed accounts, we do not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains or on capital appreciation of the assets of a client). As described in Item 5, with respect to certain private funds under our management, a portion of the profits of the fund are distributed to the general partner of the fund, affiliates of Platform Technology Partners, as “carried interest”. The performance- based fee arrangements provide an incentive for Platform Technology Partners to make investments that may present higher risk or be more speculative than those which would be recommended under a different fee arrangement. We only make such investments when we believe it is in the best interest of the fund and its underlying investors and is consistent with the fund’s investment objectives. We periodically review the funds’ investments to ensure they are invested according to any applicable restrictions set forth in the offering documents. These fee arrangements are discussed in detail in the fund offering documents. PTP does not participate in side-by-side management. Side-by-side management refers to the practice of managing accounts that are charged performance-based fees while at the same time managing accounts that are not charged performance-based fees. 7 Types of Clients Platform Technology Partners provides investment supervisory and advisory services, and provides financial consultation services for clients which includes individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and non-affiliated investment advisers and their IARs. If an account is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (“ERISA”), Platform Technology Partners acknowledges that Registrant is a fiduciary within the meaning of the Act and the ERISA client is a named fiduciary with respect to the control or management of the assets in the Account. In each instance, the client will agree to obtain and maintain a bond satisfying the requirements of Section 412 of ERISA and to include Platform Technology Partners and Platform Technology Partners’ principals, agents, and employees under those insured under that bond and will deliver to Platform Technology Partners a copy of the governing plan documents. If the Account assets for which Platform Technology Partners provides services represent only a portion of the assets of an employee 13  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 benefit plan, the client will remain responsible for determining an appropriate overall diversification policy for the assets of such plan. 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. Concentrated investment strategies may result in greater volatility and greater risk of loss than other more diversified strategies. All our strategies will expose clients to various risks, including, but not limited to, concentration risk, market risk, interest rate risk, stock selection risk and illiquidity risk. Methods of Analysis Platform Technology Partners attempts to measure a client’s risk tolerance, time horizon, goals and objectives through an interview and data-gathering process to determine an investment plan or portfolio to best fit the investor’s profile. Investment strategies may be based on several concepts and determined by the investor type. Client participation and the client’s delivery of accurate and complete information are critical to Platform Technology Partners’ process. Platform Technology Partners is entitled to rely on the financial and other information provided by the client without duty or obligation to investigate the accuracy or completeness of the information. Our financial professionals may recommend that clients authorize the active discretionary management of a portion of their assets by and/or among certain Independent Manager(s), based upon the stated investment objectives of the Client. When selecting an Independent Manager for a client, Platform Technology Partners shall review information about the Independent Manager such as its disclosure statement and/or material supplied by the Independent Manager or independent third parties for a description of the Independent Manager investment strategies, past performance, and risk results to the extent available. Platform Technology Partners shall continue to provide services to the client relative to the discretionary selection of Independent Manager as well as the monitoring and review of account performance and client investment objectives. Numerous publicly available sources of economic, financial and investment research are used by Platform Technology Partners. Asset allocation software and historical performance modeling software may also be utilized. 14  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 While our financial professionals make every effort to consider tax consequences, the sale of investments may cause taxable gain(s) or loss (es) to the client. You are encouraged to consult your independent personal tax advisor(s) about tax consequences resulting from transactions or any particular investment held in your account. Risks There are a number of risks associated with investing in the market. We describe the most common risks below: • Active Management Risk: Actively managed portfolios often have higher portfolio turnover, which may also increase trading costs due to active and frequent trading. Active trading of securities may also increase our strategies’ realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay. • Bond risks: Investments in bonds involve interest rates and credit risks. Bond values change according to changes in interest rates, inflation, credit climate and issue credit quality. Interest rate increases will reduce the value of a bond. Longer term bonds are more susceptible to interest rate variations than shorter term, lower yield bonds. • Cash or Cash Equivalents Risk: At times, our strategies may have significant investments in cash or cash equivalents. When a substantial portion of a portfolio is held in cash or cash equivalents, there is the risk that the value of the cash account, including interest, will not keep pace with inflation, thus reducing purchasing power over time. Additionally, in rising markets, holding cash or cash equivalents may adversely affect our strategies’ performance and our strategies may not achieve their investment objective. • Cyber Security Risk: As the use of technology has become more prevalent during business, the firm has become more susceptible to operational, financial and information security risks resulting from cyber-attacks and/or technological malfunctions. Cyber-attacks include, among other things, the attempted theft, loss, misuse, improper release, corruption, or destruction of, or unauthorized access to, confidential or highly restricted data relating to the firm; and attempted compromises or failures to systems, networks, devices, and applications relating to the operations of Platform Technology Partners and its service providers. Cyber security breaches may result from unauthorized access to digital systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious 15  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 software coding) or from outside attacks, such as denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended users). • Emerging Markets risk: emerging markets can experience high volatility and risk in the short term. • Equity risk: Equity investment refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future payment of dividends and/or capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities may fluctuate in response to specific situations for each company, industry conditions and the general economic environments. • Exchange traded fund and mutual fund risk: The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or mutual fund holds. Clients will incur additional costs associated with ETFs and mutual funds (see Item 4 and 5). • Fixed income risk: Fixed income investments typically pay a return on a fixed schedule, though the amount of the payments can vary. This type of investment can include corporate and government debt securities, leveraged loans, high yield, and investment grade debt and structured products, such as mortgage and other asset-backed securities, although individual bonds may be the best-known type of fixed income security. In general, the fixed income market is volatile and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk, liquidity risk, call risk, and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. The risk of default on treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they carry a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit minimal. Risks of investing in foreign fixed income securities also include the general risk of non-U.S. investing described below. • Foreign investments risks: non-U.S. investments, currency and commodity investments contain additional risks associated with government, economic, political or currency volatility. 16  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 • Growth Risk: An investment in growth stocks is susceptible to rapid price swings, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Growth stocks typically have little or no dividend income to cushion the effect of adverse market conditions and may be particularly volatile in the event of earnings disappointments or other financial difficulties experienced by the issuer. Securities of growth companies can be more sensitive to the company’s earnings and more volatile than the market in general. • Inflation Risk: involves the concern that in the future, your investment or proceeds from your investment will not be worth what they are today. Over time, the prices of resources and end-user products historically increase and thus, the same general goods and products today will likely be more expensive in the future. The longer an investment is held, the greater the chance that the proceeds from that investment will be worth less in the future than they are today. Said another way, a dollar tomorrow will likely get you less than what it can today. • Interest Rate Risk: Many of Platform Technology Partners’ strategies invest in fixed income securities (directly or indirectly through an ETF). The value of the client’s investment in fixed income securities will change in response to changes in interest rates. An increase in interest rates typically causes a fall in the value of the securities in which a strategy invests. The longer the duration of a fixed income security, the more its value typically falls in response to an increase in interest rates. • Limited Operating History Risk: Platform Technology Partners is a relatively new firm and has a limited history of operation. Accordingly, an investment in accounts managed by our firm entails some additional risk that an account managed by an investment adviser who has been around decades does not. There can be no assurance that we will achieve our investment objectives. • Liquidity Risk: Liquidity risk exists when investments in your account would be difficult to purchase or sell, preventing us from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or requiring Platform Technology Partners to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices to timely meet its redemption obligations. Liquid securities can become illiquid due to political, economic or issuer specific events; supply/demand imbalances; changes in a specific market’s size or structure, including the number of participants; or overall market disruptions. 17  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 • Long-term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to its nature, the long-term investment strategy can expose clients to diverse types of risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the investments. These risks include inflation (purchasing power), interest rate, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk. • Management Risk: is the risk that the investment process used by Platform Technology Partners’ financial professionals could fail to achieve their investment goal(s) and cause investments participating in the strategy to lose value. This risk includes Platform Technology Partners’ reliance on its strategies and its judgments about the potential appreciation of a particular option or security in which we invest may prove to be incorrect. • Margin risk: Margin transactions use leverage that is borrowed from a brokerage firm as collateral. When losses occur, the value of the margin account may fall below the brokerage firm’s threshold thereby triggering a margin call. This may force the account holder to either allocate more funds to the account or sell assets in a shorter period than desired. • Non-diversification risk: Although most strategies used by the firm are well diversified, if a strategy is “non-diversified,” its investments are not required to meet certain diversification requirements under federal law. A “non- diversified” strategy is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified strategy. Thus, the strategy may have fewer holdings than other strategies. As a result, a decline in the value of those investments would cause the strategy’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the strategy held a more diversified portfolio. • Options risk: Options are contracts to purchase a security at a given price, risking that an option may expire out of the money resulting in minimal or no value. An uncovered option is a type of options contract that is not backed by an offsetting position that would help mitigate risk. The risk for a “naked” or uncovered put is limited, whereas the potential loss for an uncovered call option is limitless. Spread option positions entail buying and selling multiple options on the same underlying security, but with different strike prices or expiration dates, which helps limit the risk of other option trading strategies. Option transactions also involve risks including economic 18  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 risk, market risk, sector risk, idiosyncratic risk, political/regulatory risk, inflation (purchasing power) risk and interest rate risk. • Private Fund Investments. Investments in private funds contain certain risks. The specific risks associated with the funds are outlined in the private placement memoranda for the funds, which we encourage you to review. They are generally outlined as follows: o o o Liquidity. We cannot guarantee our ability to redeem client assets from a private fund in a timely manner. Partnership and LLC member interests are not easily transferable, even on the secondary market, and are subject to redemption limitations. Transparency. We are limited in our ability to monitor the investment activities of private funds. Advisers to private fund investments do not always provide detailed information on their portfolio positions and, therefore, you will not be able to objectively assess the risk of such underlying fund investments. o Side letters. Certain investors get preferential treatment in the areas of liquidity, transparency and fees. o Reliance on Key Personnel. Most fund advisers are dependent on the services of a small number of key technical and management personnel and loss of their services could have a material adverse effect on the fund’s performance and, due to lock-up provisions, you could be restricted from exiting the fund in a timely manner. limited o Similar Funds. Investment managers often advise similar funds and, subject to the fee structures for those funds, the investment managers investment opportunities to funds can allocate certain generating higher fees for the investment manager. o Valuation. We rely upon the investment managers of private funds to provide accurate valuation information pertaining to our clients’ capital balances. We generally have limited information regarding the holdings of the private funds in which client accounts are invested and are normally unable to independently verify valuations provided by the managers to these private funds. o Leverage. Certain funds use leverage (borrowed funds) to increase their securities holdings, which will magnify both gains and losses by the amount of the leverage. Lack of Regulatory Oversight. Private funds typically operate under one or more exemptions from registration with the applicable regulatory authorities. Additionally, certain investment managers to private funds 19  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 o are exempt from registration with the applicable regulatory authorities. Accordingly, private funds and their managers are often subject to little, if any, direct scrutiny from any regulatory authority. Return of Balances Previously Redeemed. Under extraordinary circumstances, following a redemption from a private fund, the client may be required to return all or a portion of the redemption proceeds it received from the private fund to such private fund. For instance, if the private fund later determines that its NAV was previously misstated, a client will be required to return the applicable portion of the redemption proceeds to the extent required by applicable law or the private fund’s organizational or offering documents. Other circumstances, such as indemnification obligations, could also require a client to return the proceeds to a private fund. • Regulatory Risk: Regulatory authorities in the United States or other countries may adopt rules that restrict the ability of our firm to fully implement its strategy, either, or with respect to certain securities, industries, or countries, which may impact the firm’s ability to fully implement its investment strategies. Regulators may interpret rules differently than Platform Technology Partners or the industry. • Short-term trading risk: This type of trading risks includes liquidity, economic stability, and inflation, in addition to the long-term trading risks listed above. Frequent trading can affect investment performance, particularly through increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes. • Strategy Risk - There is no guarantee that any managed investment strategy will work under all market conditions, and you should evaluate your ability to maintain any investment you are considering your own investment time horizon. Investments are subject to risk, including loss of principal. • Third-Party Advisers/Selecting Other Advisers: Our selection process cannot ensure that money managers will perform as desired, and we will have no control over the day-to-day operations of any of its selected money managers. The firm would not necessarily be aware of certain activities at the underlying money manager level, including without limitation a money manager's engaging in unreported risks, investment “style drift” or even regulatory breaches or fraud. 20  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 We have no control over and cannot predict the day-to-day fluctuations of the stock and bond markets. While we believe that volatility can sometimes lead to favorable investing conditions, every client is at the risk of loss from adverse movements in general security prices, which have been substantial in recent years, and which could continue for a prolonged period. Moreover, your overall investment gain or loss may be significantly influenced by the market prices and conditions at the time of the opening or closing of an account. Most securities represent claims against the cash flows or earnings power of a business. To the extent interest rates increase significantly or inflation becomes widespread, the value of stocks and bonds could decline and remain depressed for a long time. Many businesses may be permanently impaired if inflation becomes significant and stock and bond prices will typically decline if interest rates move up and could suffer large declines if interest rates move up rapidly. To the extent we buy securities that are thinly traded or illiquid, it may be difficult or impossible to sell a position during times of market stress, leading to significant potential capital loss. To the extent we own illiquid securities based on a business whose fundamentals become impaired, we may not be able to sell all or a portion of our investment and may incur significant losses as a result. 9 Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of the firm or the integrity of our management team. Platform Technology Partners has no information applicable to this Item. 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Some financial professionals registered with our firm as IARs are also Registered Representatives of Spire Securities, LLC (“Spire”) an SEC Registered broker-dealer and a member of FINRA. In this capacity the financial professional may provide securities brokerage services and implement securities transactions on a commission basis . Clients should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation itself creates an inherent conflict of interest and may affect the judgement of these individuals when making recommendations. PTP and Spire are separate, nonaffiliated entities. Nevertheless, to the extent that a PTP representative recommends the purchase of securities or other investment products where the 21  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 representative receives commissions for doing so, a conflict of interest exists because the representative may be incentivized to make recommendations based on the compensation received rather than on a client’s needs. Both Spire and PTP monitor client accounts to mitigate this conflict of interest and ensure that the representatives are fulfilling their obligations. Our IARs may also be licensed agents with several unaffiliated insurance companies and recommend the purchase of insurance products for compensation which may You create a conflict of interest between an Advisory Representative’s decision to or to are under no obligation to purchase products recommended by IARs recommend Advisory Services or securities or insurance products to clients. purchase products either through Platform Technology Partners. PTP is owned by United Atlantic Capital, LLC. United Atlantic Capital, LLC owns United Advisors Investment Management, another SEC-registered investment advisor. Platform Technology Partners has entered into a revenue sharing agreement with Ursula Capital. Ursula Capital is a private fund adviser where Platform Technology Partners will invest certain qualified clients into one of Ursula Capital’s Funds. PTP and Ursula Capital have agreed to share in the revenue generated by Ursula Capital’s fees from clients referred by PTP. Any client monies PTP invests with Ursula Capital will not be billed an investment advisory fee by PTP. Rather, PTP will charge their investment advisory fee and share a certain percentage with PTP. While PTP has waived its advisory fee, this arrangement creates a conflict of interest as Ursula Capital has the potential to earn performance-based fees and thus share in those fees with PTP, which may cause the clients total fee experience to be higher than they would otherwise have with PTP. To mitigate this conflict of interest, PTP reviews clients’ suitability and risk tolerances to ensure any potential investors are properly qualified and the investment fits within their risk tolerance. As described below, we solicit certain clients to invest in special purpose vehicles or funds in which we or one of our affiliates acts as a manager. PTP acts the manager of the funds and is entitled to receive an annual management fee on the assets invested. The receipt of this additional management fee creates a conflict of interest and gives us an incentive to recommend the funds, rather than on the client’s needs. To mitigate this conflict of interest, we do not charge asset management fees on all assets invested in the funds by a client from their PTP managed account. Family Office Services are offered through Family Office Administration Services, LLC (“FOAS”), a separate entity owned by United Atlantic Capital. You may retain FOAS to provide the following services: • Tax analysis. 22  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 • • • • • • Consulting with respect to trust and estate matters. Consolidated net worth reporting and management. Concierge and lifestyle assistance (e.g., expense management services). Business consulting. Consulting with respect to family issues such as estate plans and family business continuity and leadership transition. Additional concierge and lifestyle assistance, including (as applicable): o o o o • Background checks, as requested; Electronic security – access and surveillance; Property management; and Real estate consulting. Quarterly or monthly in-person meetings, as requested. 11 Code of Ethics, Participation in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Code of Ethics We believe that the interests of clients and our Independent Managers and IARs are best served when they are similarly aligned. Platform Technology Partners and its Independent Managers and IARss acknowledge Platform Technology Partners’ fiduciary responsibility to place our clients’ investment needs ahead of Platform Technology Partners and its staff. Client interests are held in the highest regard. Platform Technology Partners or individuals associated with Platform Technology Partners may have similar investment goals and objectives and as a result may buy or sell securities for their personal accounts that may be identical to or different from those recommended to clients. Thus, at times the interests of Platform Technology Partners’ or staff members’ accounts may coincide with the interests of clients’ accounts. However, at no time will Platform Technology Partners or any related person receive an added benefit or advantage over clients with respect to these transactions. Platform Technology Partners and its associated persons will not place itself in a position to have added benefit because of advice given to clients. The staff of Platform Technology Partners shall not buy or sell securities for their personal portfolio(s) where their decision is derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or her employment, unless the information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry. Thomas Kerney, the Chief Compliance Officer of Platform Technology Partners, is responsible for the monitoring of personal trading conducted by staff. 23  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 Platform Technology Partners has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) designed to address and prevent potential conflicts of interest as required under Rule 204A- 1 of the Advisers Act. Our Code for all Supervised Persons describes our high standard of business conduct and our fiduciary duty to clients. The Code includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts, the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among other topics. All Supervised Persons must acknowledge the Code terms annually or when they are amended. A copy of our Code will be provided upon request. Our employees and persons associated with us are required to follow the Code. Subject to the Code and applicable laws, our members, officers, directors, and employees may trade for their own accounts. The Code is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities, and interests of our employees will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code, certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with our clients’ best interests. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of many transactions. Nonetheless, because the Code in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as our clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code, and our procedures are designed to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between our principals, our employees, and our clients. Pursuant to the Code, we have adopted trading policies and procedures to promote fairness and uniformity in our dealings with clients. However, due to different client objectives, strategies, restrictions, and cash holdings, not all clients will participate in a particular trade and the fact that a security has been purchased for or held by one client does not mean it will be purchased by or held by another client. Similarly, a security sold for one client does not automatically mean that the same security will be sold by another client in similar amount or at all based on the above potential differences and restrictions. Due to market conditions and other factors, it is possible that we may purchase or sell a security on behalf of some clients that we have sold or purchased on behalf of others. trade. We expect to apply a pre-approved allocation methodology depending on the order's nature, the size of the trade, the number of accounts participating and the aggregate dollar 24  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 value of the trade. We use the following types of allocation methodologies: pro-rata allocation. Platform Technology Partners requires Access Personnel to “pre-clear” participation in private placements and limited offerings. We will retain records of trade orders (specifying each participating account) and their allocations, which will be completed prior to the aggregated order's entry. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated using one of the pre-approved methods. Any exceptions will be explained on the order. Pursuant to the Code, we have adopted procedures to ensure that all clients are treated equitably and that none are materially disadvantaged by the investing activities of our staff. It is Platform Technology Partners’ policy that neither Platform Technology Partners, any person in a control relationship with Platform Technology Partners nor any Supervised Person of Platform Technology Partners shall effect transactions as a principal with any client of Platform Technology Partners unless such transactions follow the provisions of Rule 206(3)-2 of the Advisers Act. It is Platform Technology Partners’ policy that Platform Technology Partners will not effect any agency cross securities transactions for client accounts without obtaining the specific consent of the client of the conditions of Rule 206(3)-2 have been met. Principal transactions are transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. An agency cross transaction is a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction in which the investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction. Platform Technology Partners’ clients or prospective clients may request a copy of Platform Technology Partners’ Code of Ethics by contacting our CCO Thomas Kerney at 312-2734-322. Our Code of Ethics will be provided to clients or prospective clients upon request. 25  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 12 Brokerage Practices Investment or Brokerage Discretion Platform Technology Partners has discretionary authority to execute transactions on behalf of its clients. Therefore, Platform Technology Partners generally determines the securities and quantities to be bought and sold for each client’s account, as well as the broker(s) to be used for such transactions. As an investment adviser, PTP has an obligation to seek “best execution” of client trade orders. “Best execution” means that PTP must place client trade orders with those broker-dealers that the firm believes can provide the best qualitative execution of client trade orders under the circumstances, considering the full range and quality of the services offered by the broker-dealer. When selecting a broker or dealer, the Adviser may consider the following factors: (i) client preferences, (ii) execution capability and past execution performance, (iii) access to markets, (iv) commission rates, (v) financial standing of executing firm and counterparty risk, (vi) timeliness in rendering services, (vii) availability, cost and quality of custodial services, and (vii) continuity and quality of the overall provision of services. Platform Technology Partners will recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Custodian division of Pershing Advisor Solutions LLC (“Pershing”) a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. The final decision to custody assets with Pershing is at the discretion of the Advisor’s clients, including those accounts under ERISA or IRA rules and regulations, in which case the client is acting as either the plan sponsor or IRA accountholder. The client is under no obligation to select Pershing to maintain custody. Platform Technology Partners is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Pershing. Pershing provides Platform Technology Partners with certain financial benefits, which are typically not available to Pershing retail investors. This financial benefit is made available to Platform Technology Partners, at no additional charge so long as a certain portion of clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at the Custodian. Pershing’s financial benefit can be used for payment for certain eligible transition, marketing, and technology expenses. The receipt of this financial benefit presents a conflict of interest. This conflict is mitigated through Platform Technology Partners’ regular review of brokerage practices and best execution. While, as a fiduciary, Platform Technology Partners endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, Platform Technology Partners’ recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Pershing may be based in part on the benefit to Platform Technology Partners of the availability of some of the foregoing financial benefits and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Pershing, which may create a conflict of interest. This conflict 26  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 of interest is mitigated by Platform Technology Partners’ regular review of brokerage practices and best execution. For Platform Technology Partners’ client accounts maintained in its custody, Pershing generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transaction- related or asset- based fees for securities trades that are executed through Pershing or that settle into Pershing accounts. Pershing’s services include research, brokerage, custody, access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Platform Technology Partners conducts periodic reviews of Platform Technology Partners’ brokerage and best execution practices. Platform Technology Partners has no written or verbal arrangements whereby it receives “soft dollar services” in return for directing client commissions. Platform Technology Partners may receive certain added benefits for utilizing the recommended custodian firms such as the ability to deduct Advisory fees from clients’ custodial accounts, access to a trading desk that services Platform Technology Partners, discounts on periodicals or materials, complimentary business and compliance newsletters, and various other non-cash services. While Platform Technology Partners’ preferred service providers do not directly provide any research, they may offer discounts on general products. Any general research received is used for the benefit of all clients. The value of products, research and services given, if any, is negligible and not a material factor. PTP IARs may also receive admission to industry conferences (but not airfare or lodging) in conjunction with industry relationships. Aggregation and Allocation Transactions for each client generally will be effected independently, unless Platform Technology Partners decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. Platform Technology Partners may, but is not obligated to, combine or "batch" such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favorable commission rates, or to allocate equitably among Platform Technology Partners’ clients differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will generally be averaged as to price and allocated among Platform Technology Partners’ clients pro rata to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client on any given day. To the extent that Platform Technology Partners determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities, including securities in which Platform Technology 27  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 Partners’ IARs may invest, Platform Technology Partners shall generally do so in accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the Advisers Act and no-action guidance provided by the staff of the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission. Platform Technology Partners shall not receive any extra compensation or remuneration due to the aggregation. In the event that Platform Technology Partners determines that a prorated allocation is not appropriate under the particular circumstances, the allocation will be made based upon other relevant factors, which may include: (i) when only a small percentage of the order is executed, shares may be allocated to the account with the smallest order or the smallest position or to an account that is out of line with respect to security or sector weightings relative to other portfolios, with similar mandates; (ii) allocations may be given to one account when one account has limitations in its investment guidelines which prohibit it from purchasing other securities which are expected to produce similar investment results and can be purchased by other accounts; (iii) if an account reaches an investment guideline limit and cannot participate in an allocation, shares may be reallocated to other accounts (this may be due to unforeseen changes in an account's assets after an order is placed); (iv) with respect to sale allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash; (v) in cases when a pro rata allocation of a potential execution would result in a de minimis allocation in one or more accounts, Platform Technology Partners may exclude the account(s) from the allocation; the transactions may be executed on a pro rata basis among the remaining accounts; or (vi) in cases where a small proportion of an order is executed in all accounts, shares may be allocated to one or more accounts on a random basis. Other than as described above, Platform Technology Partners does not expect to receive any benefits because of directing brokerage to any broker. Trade Errors From time-to-time, trade errors may occur. When trade errors occur, Platform Technology Partners’ policy is to correct the error promptly. If Platform Technology Partners caused the error, Platform Technology Partners will make the client whole for the loss . If a third-party caused the error, Platform Technology Partners will take steps to collect from the third-party the amount of the error; however, there is no guarantee that Platform Technology Partners will be successful recuperating such funds in which case the client will bear the loss. If the client caused the error, the client will bear the error. If a trade error results in a gain, your ability to retain the gain will be dependent For information concerning the upon the trade error correction policies of the custodian, which may vary between trade correction policies of custodians, you should contact their custodian. custodians and are subject to change at any time. 28  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 Other Brokerage Practices Platform Technology Partners’ recommended service providers feature a broad line of products and services that may be suitable to many types of investors with varying investable assets. Platform Technology Partners recognizes its duty to obtain best price and execution for its clients under the circumstances available. The decision to recommend the preferred service providers is based upon the customer service provided to investors and the services available to Platform Technology Partners and providing such recommendation is consistent with Platform Technology Partners’ fiduciary duty to the client. Platform Technology Partners also considers its experience with the service providers, the providers’ reputation, and the quality of execution services and costs. Platform Technology Partners’ clients are also welcome to evaluate these service providers before opening an account. While it is possible that clients may pay higher commissions or transaction fees through preferred service providers. Platform Technology Partners has determined that such service providers currently offer the best overall value to Platform Technology Partners and clients for the brokerage and technology provided. To minimize transaction fees on its clients’ behalf, Platform Technology Partners has negotiated fixed fees with the institutional custodians and affiliated brokerage firms that we works with to execute trades. We periodically review other alternatives that are available to Platform Technology Partners. 13 Review of Accounts Investment Management and Supervisory Services involve continuous and ongoing services to include frequent monitoring and internal review of portfolio assets on a quarterly, monthly, perhaps even daily basis by a client’s investment adviser professional (the “Adviser”). The frequency of and processes for the internal portfolio reviews are dependent upon the nature and complexity of the portfolio and at the discretion of PTP. Reviews may also occur at the time of significant deposits or withdrawals. Reviews generally entail analyzing securities, sensitivity to various markets, investment results and other factors. The Adviser may also review a portfolio if the client’s asset allocation deviates over the target acceptable limits, at which time rebalancing is considered. Individual portfolio reviews with clients are conducted their request, at their financial advisor’s discretion, or according to the interval agreed upon in their engagement letter. The timing of portfolio reviews conducted with clients are 29  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 guided by the client’s stated objectives or at PTP’s discretion, however, PTP prefers clients to initiate meetings at least annually. In all cases, clients are obligated to contact PTP when a real or potential change in the clients’ financial condition occurs so PTP can review the portfolio along with the clients’ new information so Adviser and the client can ensure the investment strategies continue to be appropriate. Reviews are conducted by the client’s Adviser. Clients receive confirmation statements for transactions and monthly statements, directly from their custodian. The custodian’s quarterly reports detail account value, net monthly change, portfolio holdings, and account activity. If agreed to at a client's engagement of Platform Technology Partners, PTP may prepare additional reports and these reports may include information on the inventory of account holdings and account performances. PTP may also provide consultation clients with various reports, post-meeting communications, or written plans as may be agreed to at engagement. 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation Platform Technology Partners may enter into agreements with third-party promoters (“Referring Parties”) who may refer prospective clients to Platform Technology Partners. If a referred client enters into an advisory agreement with Platform Technology Partners, compensation is paid to the referring party. The compensation is based on the advisory fees generated. The referral arrangements between any referring party and Platform Technology Partners will not result in any charges to referred clients that are above the normal level of advisory fees charged. At the time of a referral, prospective clients will receive a copy of Platform Technology Partners’ Brochure and the solicitor’s compensation disclosure document. The referral agreements between Platform Technology Partners and referring parties comply with the Marketing Rule under the Adviser Act. 15 Custody Platform Technology Partners does not intend to take physical custody of client assets. Most client assets will be held in brokerage accounts with Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC, under which our clients will grant us discretion to place trades. Any reports that are sent to clients may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. 30  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker dealer, bank or other qualified custodian that holds and maintains client’s investment assets. Platform Technology Partners urges you to carefully review such statements and compare such official custodial records to the account statements that we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain securities. We are deemed to have custody due to our limited ability to instruct the custodian to deduct advisory fees from client accounts and due to certain standing letters of authorization. Since the custodian does not verify advisory fees deducted from the account, clients are encouraged to review their statements and to promptly contact the adviser directly with any questions or concerns. Platform Technology Partners is also considered to have custody of the private funds due to an affiliated entity serving as General Partner of the funds. As a result, the private funds undergo a financial audit from a PCAOB accounting firm, and those audited financials are distributed to the limited partners of the funds. 16 Investment Discretion After consultation with a potential client regarding their objectives and understanding of Platform Technology Partners’ investment philosophy and strategy, Platform Technology Partners will enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the client which may grant Platform Technology Partners discretionary authority from the client a limited power of attorney to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, we exercise our investment discretion consistent with the client’s investment objectives for the account. Clients may request that we invest the account in accordance with specific investment guidelines and restrictions. We may decline to manage accounts if these proposed investment guidelines or restrictions conflict with our investment philosophy or strategies or for any reason we deem appropriate . Non-discretionary accounts are managed pursuant to the client’s Agreement with Platform Technology Partners. Platform Technology Partners may maintain limited power of attorney to execute trades with proper client authority. Platform Technology Partners does not have the authority to withdraw funds or securities and will not take custody of the same. Platform Technology Partners may have access to accounts in order to deduct Advisory fees and only with the client’s authorization. In each case, the fee deductions will be coordinated through a qualified custodian. Platform Technology Partners usually receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory relationship to select the identity and amount of 31  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 securities to be bought or sold. In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives for the particular client account. Clients may request that we invest the account in accordance with specific investment guidelines and restrictions. We may decline to manage accounts if these proposed investment guidelines or restrictions conflict with our investment philosophy or strategies or for any reason we deem appropriate. Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to Platform Technology Partners in writing. Please see Item 4 for a description of any limitations clients may place on Platform Technology Partners’ discretionary authority. When selecting securities and determining amounts, Platform Technology Partners observes the investment policies, limitations, and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. Unless otherwise instructed or directed by a discretionary client, Platform Technology Partners has the authority to determine (i) the securities to be purchased and sold for the client account (subject to restrictions on its activities set forth in the applicable investment management agreement and any written investment guidelines) (ii) the amount of securities to be purchased or sold for the client account. Because of the differences in client investment objectives and strategies, risk tolerances, tax status and other criteria, there may be differences among clients in invested positions and securities held. Platform Technology Partners’ portfolio manager submits an allocation statement to Platform Technology Partners’ trading desk describing the allocation of securities to (or from) client accounts for each trade/order submitted. Platform Technology Partners’ portfolio manager may consider the following factors, among others, in allocating securities among clients: (i) client investment objectives and strategies; (ii) client risk profiles; (iii) tax status and restrictions placed on a client's portfolio by the client or by applicable law; (iv) size of the client account; (v) nature and liquidity of the security to be allocated; (vi) size of available position; (vii) current market conditions; and (viii) account liquidity, account requirements for liquidity and timing of cash flows. Although it is Platform Technology Partners’ policy to allocate investment opportunities to eligible client accounts on a pro rata basis (based on the value of the assets of each participating account relative to value of the assets of all participating accounts), these factors may lead the portfolio manager to allocate securities to client accounts in varying amounts. Even client accounts that are typically managed on an equal basis may from time to time receive differing allocations of securities based on total assets of each account 32  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 eligible to invest in the particular investment type (e.g., equities) divided by the total assets of all accounts eligible to invest in the particular investment. 17 Voting Client Securities Clients may retain the authority to vote proxies and are responsible for ensuring that proxy materials are sent directly to them or their designed third-party they may assign. Our firm may vote proxies on behalf of its clients. When we accept such responsibility, it will only cast proxy votes in a manner consistent with the best interest of its clients. Absent special circumstances, which are fully described in Platform Technology Partners’ Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, all proxies will be voted consistent with guidelines established and described the policy, as they may be amended from time-to-time. At any time, clients may contact their financial professional or the CCO to request information about how we voted proxies for that client’s securities or to get a copy of Platform Technology Partners’ Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures. A summary of Platform Technology Partners’ Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures is as follows: Platform Technology Partners will generally vote proxies according to the guidelines described below. The Proxy Voting Guidelines include many specific examples of voting decisions for the types of proposals that are most frequently presented, including composition of the board of directors; approval of independent auditors; management and director compensation; anti-takeover mechanisms and related issues; changes to capital structure; corporate and social policy issues; and issues involving mutual funds. Although the Proxy Voting Guidelines are to be followed as a general policy, certain issues will be considered on a case-by-case basis based on the relevant facts and circumstances. Since corporate governance issues are diverse and continually evolving, Platform Technology Partners shall devote an appropriate amount of time and resources to monitor these changes. In situations where there may be a conflict of interest in the voting of proxies due to business or personal relationships that Platform Technology Partners maintains with persons having an interest in the outcome of certain votes, the firm will take appropriate steps to ensure that its proxy voting decisions are made. 33  Platform Technology Partners, LLC ADV Part 2A March 28, 2025 Platform Technology Partners will not take action with respect to any securities or other investments that become the subject of any legal proceedings, including bankruptcies. 18 Financial Information Item 18 requires our firm to provide you with certain financial information or disclosures about our financial condition.
