Description of the Advisory Firm Polaris Financial Partners, LLC (hereinafter “PFP LLC”) is a Limited Liability Company organized in the State of Ohio. The firm was formed in June 2008, and the principal owner is Bob Deitrick. Annual Fee Total Assets Under Management $100,000- $500,000 1.50% $500,001 - $1,000,000 1.20% $1,000,001 - $3,000,000 1.00% $3,000,001 - $5,000,000 0.90% $5,000,001 - $10,000,000 0.80% $10,000,001 – And Up Negotiable 529 Account Fee (Billed Annually) 0.50% Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. PFP LLC will not be compensated on the basis of a share of capital gains upon or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds of the Account. PFP LLC manages a wrap fee program and will wrap third party fees (i.e., custodian fees, brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.) for wrap fee accounts. PFP LLC will charge one fee and pay transaction fees for the Account using the fee collected from Client. B. Types of Advisory Services Financial Planning Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning. Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments 2 PFP LLC generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities, equities, ETFs (including ETFs in the gold and precious metal sectors) and treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds, although PFP LLC primarily recommends equities. PFP LLC may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable. C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions PFP LLC will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview session to get to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that will be executed by PFP LLC on behalf of the client. PFP LLC may use model allocations together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their personal restrictions, needs, and targets. PFP LLC advisory service custom tailors each individual clients' portfolio commensurate with their goals, objectives, tolerance for investment risk, and their family situation and needs as well. PFP LLC reviews the alpha and beta, standard deviation and peer group ranking of the investment product with clients as well so they understand the risk and potential reward associated with each investment PFP LLC recommends to them. PFP LLC will then build a customized investment portfolio geared specifically to that client. Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent PFP LLC from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require PFP LLC to deviate from its standard suite of services, PFP LLC reserves the right to end the relationship. D. Wrap Fee Programs PFP LLC acts as portfolio manager and sponsor for a wrap fee program, which is an investment program where the client pays one stated fee that includes management fees, transaction costs, and certain other administrative fees. However, this brochure describes PFP LLC’s non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing PFP LLC’s wrap fee portfolio management should see PFP LLC’s separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. E. Assets Under Management PFP LLC has the following assets under management: Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: Date Calculated: $226,113,023.26 January 2026 $0 3 Item 5: Fees and Compensation A. Fee Schedule Financial Planning Fees Fixed Fees The negotiated fixed rate for creating client financial plans is to be determined on a case- by-case basis but would be projected to be $200 to $5,000. Our financial planning software is Right Capital. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for full refund of PFP LLC’s fees, within five business days of signing the Financial Planning Agreement if the same is provided at time of signing. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Financial Planning Agreement generally upon written notice. B. Payment of Fees Payment of Financial Planning Fees Financial planning fees are paid via wire. Fixed financial planning fees are paid 100% in advance, but never more than six months in advance. C. Client Responsibility For Third Party Fees Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees (i.e., custodian fees, commissions, brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by PFP LLC. This brochure describes PFP LLC’s non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing PFP LLC’s wrap fee portfolio management should see the separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure for additional details regarding third party fees. D. Prepayment of Fees Fees are paid in advance. The advisory fee is calculated using the value of the assets on the last business day of the prior billing period. Once fees are drawn for the quarter, they are paid in advance and that is considered payment for our time and services for the entire quarter. There will be no pro-rated refunds made if the client decides to depart PFP LLC by ACAT, delink, or otherwise before the end of that quarter. 4 E. Outside Compensation For the Sale of Securities to Clients Neither PFP LLC nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management PFP LLC does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client. Item 7: Types of Clients PFP LLC generally provides advisory services to the following types of clients: ❖ ❖ Individuals High-Net-Worth Individuals There is no account minimum for any of PFP LLC’s services. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, & Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Methods of Analysis PFP LLC’s methods of analysis include Charting analysis, Cyclical analysis, Fundamental analysis, Modern portfolio theory, Quantitative analysis and Technical analysis. Charting analysis involves the use of patterns in performance charts. PFP LLC uses this technique to search for patterns used to help predict favorable conditions for buying and/or selling a security. Cyclical analysis involves the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for buying and/or selling a security. Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages. 5 Modern portfolio theory is a theory of investment that attempts to maximize portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, each by carefully choosing the proportions of various asset. Quantitative analysis deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative considerations such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the value of assets, the cost of capital, historical projections of sales, and so on. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and volume. Investment Strategies PFP LLC uses long term trading. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. B. Material Risks Involved Methods of Analysis Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predict long and short term performance or market trends. The risk involved in using this method is that only past performance data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck data. Using charting analysis without other methods of analysis would be making the assumption that past performance will be indicative of future performance. This may not be the case. Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified, can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are two- fold: 1) the markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to implement this strategy, then it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to exploit. Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value. Modern portfolio theory assumes that investors are risk averse, meaning that given two portfolios that offer the same expected return, investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an investor will take on increased risk only if compensated by higher expected returns. Conversely, an investor who wants higher expected returns must accept more risk. The exact trade-off will be the same for all investors, but different investors will evaluate the trade-off differently based on individual risk aversion characteristics. The implication is that a rational investor will not invest in a portfolio if a second portfolio 6 exists with a more favorable risk-expected return profile – i.e., if for that level of risk an alternative portfolio exists which has better expected returns. Quantitative analysis Investment strategies using quantitative models may perform differently than expected as a result of, among other things, the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors’ historical trends, and technical issues in the construction and implementation of the models. Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into account new patterns that emerge over time. Investment Strategies 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 various types of risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk, interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. C. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized Clients should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any investment strategy. The investment types listed below (leaving aside Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds) are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature. Equity investment generally 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. Fixed income investments generally 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 7 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 rather minimal. Risks of investing in foreign fixed income securities also include the general risk of non-U.S. investing described below. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, similar to stocks. Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy). Areas of concern include the lack of transparency in products and increasing complexity, conflicts of interest and the possibility of inadequate regulatory compliance. Precious Metal ETFs (e.g., Gold, Silver, or Palladium Bullion backed “electronic shares” not physical metal) specifically may be negatively impacted by several unique factors, among them (1) large sales by the official sector which own a significant portion of aggregate world holdings in gold and other precious metals, (2) a significant increase in hedging activities by producers of gold or other precious metals, (3) a significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors. Annuities are a retirement product for those who may have the ability to pay a premium now and want to guarantee they receive certain monthly payments or a return on investment later in the future. Annuities are contracts issued by a life insurance company designed to meet requirement or other long-term goals. An annuity is not a life insurance policy. Variable annuities are designed to be long-term investments, to meet retirement and other long-range goals. Variable annuities are not suitable for meeting short-term goals because substantial taxes and insurance company charges may apply if you withdraw your money early. Variable annuities also involve investment risks, just as mutual funds do. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. Item 9: Disciplinary Information A. Criminal or Civil Actions There are no criminal or civil actions to report. B. Administrative Proceedings There are no administrative proceedings to report. 8 C. Self-regulatory Organization (SRO) Proceedings There are no self-regulatory organization proceedings to report. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations A. Registration as Insurance Agent Along with being a licensed Investment Advisor Representative, Robert Deitrick is licensed to sell insurance in the State of Ohio. We are not, however, affiliated with a broker-dealer. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics PFP LLC has a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases and Sales, Insider Trading, Personal Securities Transactions, Exempted Transactions, Prohibited Activities, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment, Confidentiality, Service on a Board of Directors, Compliance Procedures, Compliance with Laws and Regulations, Procedures and Reporting, Certification of Compliance, Reporting Violations, Compliance Officer Duties, Training and Education, Recordkeeping, Annual Review, and Sanctions. PFP LLC's Code of Ethics is available free upon request to any client or prospective client. B. Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests PFP LLC does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to PFP LLC or PFP LLC has a material financial interest. C. Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients PFP LLC does not recommend specific securities to clients and therefore representatives of PFP LLC do not buy or sell securities for themselves that they also recommend to clients. D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’ Securities 9 PFP LLC does not trade client securities. Item 12: Brokerage Practices A. Factors Used to Select Custodians PFP LLC acts as portfolio manager and sponsor for a wrap fee program, which is an investment program where the client pays one stated fee that includes management fees, transaction costs, and certain other administrative fees. PFP LLC trades client accounts and recommends custodians as described in the Wrap Fee Program Brochure. However, this brochure describes PFP LLC’s non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing PFP LLC’s wrap fee portfolio management should see PFP LLC’s separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. PFP LLC may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab Advisor Services division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), 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 Schwab 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. PFP LLC is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab provides PFP LLC with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. For PFP LLC client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab 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 Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts. Schwab also makes available to PFP LLC other products and services that benefit PFP LLC but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or PFP LLC specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of PFP LLC by Schwab Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist PFP LLC in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include 10 software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of PFP LLC fees from its clients’ accounts, and assist with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of [Advisor Firm’s] accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to PFP LLC other services intended to help PFP LLC manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In addition, Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to PFP LLC by independent third parties. Schwab Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to PFP LLC. While, as a fiduciary, PFP LLC endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, [Advisor Firm’s] recommendation/requirement that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part on the benefit to PFP LLC of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may create a potential conflict of interest.

Description of the Advisory Firm Polaris Financial Partners, LLC (hereinafter “PFP LLC”) is a Limited Liability Company organized in the State of Ohio. The firm was formed in June 2008, and the principal owner is Bob Deitrick. Annual Fee Total Assets Under Management $100,000- $500,000 1.50% $500,001 - $1,000,000 1.20% $1,000,001 - $3,000,000 1.00% $3,000,001 - $5,000,000 0.90% $5,000,001 - $10,000,000 0.80% $10,000,001 – And Up Negotiable 529 Account Fee (Billed Annually) 0.50% Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. PFP LLC will not be compensated on the basis of a share of capital gains upon or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds of the Account. PFP LLC manages a wrap fee program and will wrap third party fees (i.e., custodian fees, brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.) for wrap fee accounts. PFP LLC will charge one fee and pay transaction fees for the Account using the fee collected from Client. B. Types of Advisory Services Financial Planning Financial plans and financial planning may include, but are not limited to: investment planning; life insurance; tax concerns; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning. Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments 2 PFP LLC generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities, equities, ETFs (including ETFs in the gold and precious metal sectors) and treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds, although PFP LLC primarily recommends equities. PFP LLC may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable. C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions PFP LLC will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview session to get to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that will be executed by PFP LLC on behalf of the client. PFP LLC may use model allocations together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their personal restrictions, needs, and targets. PFP LLC advisory service custom tailors each individual clients' portfolio commensurate with their goals, objectives, tolerance for investment risk, and their family situation and needs as well. PFP LLC reviews the alpha and beta, standard deviation and peer group ranking of the investment product with clients as well so they understand the risk and potential reward associated with each investment PFP LLC recommends to them. PFP LLC will then build a customized investment portfolio geared specifically to that client. Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the restrictions prevent PFP LLC from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require PFP LLC to deviate from its standard suite of services, PFP LLC reserves the right to end the relationship. D. Wrap Fee Programs PFP LLC acts as portfolio manager and sponsor for a wrap fee program, which is an investment program where the client pays one stated fee that includes management fees, transaction costs, and certain other administrative fees. However, this brochure describes PFP LLC’s non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing PFP LLC’s wrap fee portfolio management should see PFP LLC’s separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. E. Assets Under Management PFP LLC has the following assets under management: Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: Date Calculated: $226,113,023.26 January 2026 $0 3 Item 5: Fees and Compensation A. Fee Schedule Financial Planning Fees Fixed Fees The negotiated fixed rate for creating client financial plans is to be determined on a case- by-case basis but would be projected to be $200 to $5,000. Our financial planning software is Right Capital. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for full refund of PFP LLC’s fees, within five business days of signing the Financial Planning Agreement if the same is provided at time of signing. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Financial Planning Agreement generally upon written notice. B. Payment of Fees Payment of Financial Planning Fees Financial planning fees are paid via wire. Fixed financial planning fees are paid 100% in advance, but never more than six months in advance. C. Client Responsibility For Third Party Fees Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees (i.e., custodian fees, commissions, brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by PFP LLC. This brochure describes PFP LLC’s non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing PFP LLC’s wrap fee portfolio management should see the separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure for additional details regarding third party fees. D. Prepayment of Fees Fees are paid in advance. The advisory fee is calculated using the value of the assets on the last business day of the prior billing period. Once fees are drawn for the quarter, they are paid in advance and that is considered payment for our time and services for the entire quarter. There will be no pro-rated refunds made if the client decides to depart PFP LLC by ACAT, delink, or otherwise before the end of that quarter. 4 E. Outside Compensation For the Sale of Securities to Clients Neither PFP LLC nor its supervised persons accept any compensation for the sale of investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management PFP LLC does not accept performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client. Item 7: Types of Clients PFP LLC generally provides advisory services to the following types of clients: ❖ ❖ Individuals High-Net-Worth Individuals There is no account minimum for any of PFP LLC’s services. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, & Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Methods of Analysis PFP LLC’s methods of analysis include Charting analysis, Cyclical analysis, Fundamental analysis, Modern portfolio theory, Quantitative analysis and Technical analysis. Charting analysis involves the use of patterns in performance charts. PFP LLC uses this technique to search for patterns used to help predict favorable conditions for buying and/or selling a security. Cyclical analysis involves the analysis of business cycles to find favorable conditions for buying and/or selling a security. Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial health of companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages. 5 Modern portfolio theory is a theory of investment that attempts to maximize portfolio expected return for a given amount of portfolio risk, or equivalently minimize risk for a given level of expected return, each by carefully choosing the proportions of various asset. Quantitative analysis deals with measurable factors as distinguished from qualitative considerations such as the character of management or the state of employee morale, such as the value of assets, the cost of capital, historical projections of sales, and so on. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data; primarily price and volume. Investment Strategies PFP LLC uses long term trading. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. B. Material Risks Involved Methods of Analysis Charting analysis strategy involves using and comparing various charts to predict long and short term performance or market trends. The risk involved in using this method is that only past performance data is considered without using other methods to crosscheck data. Using charting analysis without other methods of analysis would be making the assumption that past performance will be indicative of future performance. This may not be the case. Cyclical analysis assumes that the markets react in cyclical patterns which, once identified, can be leveraged to provide performance. The risks with this strategy are two- fold: 1) the markets do not always repeat cyclical patterns; and 2) if too many investors begin to implement this strategy, then it changes the very cycles these investors are trying to exploit. Fundamental analysis concentrates on factors that determine a company’s value and expected future earnings. This strategy would normally encourage equity purchases in stocks that are undervalued or priced below their perceived value. The risk assumed is that the market will fail to reach expectations of perceived value. Modern portfolio theory assumes that investors are risk averse, meaning that given two portfolios that offer the same expected return, investors will prefer the less risky one. Thus, an investor will take on increased risk only if compensated by higher expected returns. Conversely, an investor who wants higher expected returns must accept more risk. The exact trade-off will be the same for all investors, but different investors will evaluate the trade-off differently based on individual risk aversion characteristics. The implication is that a rational investor will not invest in a portfolio if a second portfolio 6 exists with a more favorable risk-expected return profile – i.e., if for that level of risk an alternative portfolio exists which has better expected returns. Quantitative analysis Investment strategies using quantitative models may perform differently than expected as a result of, among other things, the factors used in the models, the weight placed on each factor, changes from the factors’ historical trends, and technical issues in the construction and implementation of the models. Technical analysis attempts to predict a future stock price or direction based on market trends. The assumption is that the market follows discernible patterns and if these patterns can be identified then a prediction can be made. The risk is that markets do not always follow patterns and relying solely on this method may not take into account new patterns that emerge over time. Investment Strategies 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 various types of risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation (purchasing power) risk, interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. C. Risks of Specific Securities Utilized Clients should be aware that there is a material risk of loss using any investment strategy. The investment types listed below (leaving aside Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds) are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of bond “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature. Equity investment generally 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. Fixed income investments generally 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 7 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 rather minimal. Risks of investing in foreign fixed income securities also include the general risk of non-U.S. investing described below. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): An ETF is an investment fund traded on stock exchanges, similar to stocks. Investing in ETFs carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy). Areas of concern include the lack of transparency in products and increasing complexity, conflicts of interest and the possibility of inadequate regulatory compliance. Precious Metal ETFs (e.g., Gold, Silver, or Palladium Bullion backed “electronic shares” not physical metal) specifically may be negatively impacted by several unique factors, among them (1) large sales by the official sector which own a significant portion of aggregate world holdings in gold and other precious metals, (2) a significant increase in hedging activities by producers of gold or other precious metals, (3) a significant change in the attitude of speculators and investors. Annuities are a retirement product for those who may have the ability to pay a premium now and want to guarantee they receive certain monthly payments or a return on investment later in the future. Annuities are contracts issued by a life insurance company designed to meet requirement or other long-term goals. An annuity is not a life insurance policy. Variable annuities are designed to be long-term investments, to meet retirement and other long-range goals. Variable annuities are not suitable for meeting short-term goals because substantial taxes and insurance company charges may apply if you withdraw your money early. Variable annuities also involve investment risks, just as mutual funds do. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. Item 9: Disciplinary Information A. Criminal or Civil Actions There are no criminal or civil actions to report. B. Administrative Proceedings There are no administrative proceedings to report. 8 C. Self-regulatory Organization (SRO) Proceedings There are no self-regulatory organization proceedings to report. Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations A. Registration as Insurance Agent Along with being a licensed Investment Advisor Representative, Robert Deitrick is licensed to sell insurance in the State of Ohio. We are not, however, affiliated with a broker-dealer. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics PFP LLC has a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases and Sales, Insider Trading, Personal Securities Transactions, Exempted Transactions, Prohibited Activities, Conflicts of Interest, Gifts and Entertainment, Confidentiality, Service on a Board of Directors, Compliance Procedures, Compliance with Laws and Regulations, Procedures and Reporting, Certification of Compliance, Reporting Violations, Compliance Officer Duties, Training and Education, Recordkeeping, Annual Review, and Sanctions. PFP LLC's Code of Ethics is available free upon request to any client or prospective client. B. Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests PFP LLC does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to PFP LLC or PFP LLC has a material financial interest. C. Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients PFP LLC does not recommend specific securities to clients and therefore representatives of PFP LLC do not buy or sell securities for themselves that they also recommend to clients. D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’ Securities 9 PFP LLC does not trade client securities. Item 12: Brokerage Practices A. Factors Used to Select Custodians PFP LLC acts as portfolio manager and sponsor for a wrap fee program, which is an investment program where the client pays one stated fee that includes management fees, transaction costs, and certain other administrative fees. PFP LLC trades client accounts and recommends custodians as described in the Wrap Fee Program Brochure. However, this brochure describes PFP LLC’s non-wrap fee advisory services; clients utilizing PFP LLC’s wrap fee portfolio management should see PFP LLC’s separate Wrap Fee Program Brochure. PFP LLC may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab Advisor Services division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), 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 Schwab 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. PFP LLC is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab provides PFP LLC with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. For PFP LLC client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab 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 Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts. Schwab also makes available to PFP LLC other products and services that benefit PFP LLC but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or PFP LLC specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of PFP LLC by Schwab Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist PFP LLC in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include 10 software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of PFP LLC fees from its clients’ accounts, and assist with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of [Advisor Firm’s] accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to PFP LLC other services intended to help PFP LLC manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In addition, Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services rendered to PFP LLC by independent third parties. Schwab Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to PFP LLC. While, as a fiduciary, PFP LLC endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, [Advisor Firm’s] recommendation/requirement that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part on the benefit to PFP LLC of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may create a potential conflict of interest.
