Description of the Advisory Firm Range Financial Group, LLC (hereinafter “RFGL”) is a Limited Liability Company organized in the State of Oregon. The firm was formed in May 2018, and the principal owner is Eric Dahm. B. Types of Advisory Services Portfolio Management Services RFGL offers ongoing portfolio management services based on the individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. RFGL generally creates a financial plan to learn about the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels) and then constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client's specific situation. Portfolio management services include, but are not limited to, the following: Asset allocation Regular portfolio monitoring • • • Investment strategy • Asset selection • Risk tolerance RFGL evaluates the current investments of each client with respect to their risk tolerance levels and time horizon. RFGL will require discretionary authority from clients in order to select securities and execute transactions without permission from the client prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are commonly documented through the client’s completion of a virtual questionnaire through a third-party website or through a review of the risk ratings of current portfolio assets with each client. RFGL seeks to provide that investment decisions are made in accordance with the fiduciary duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of RFGL’s economic, investment or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, RFGL attempts to avoid, among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, RFGL’s policy is to seek fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid favoring one client over another over time. It is RFGL’s policy to allocate investment opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent, including initial public offerings ("IPOs") and other investment opportunities that might have a limited supply, among its clients on a fair and equitable basis over time. Pension Consulting Services 2 RFGL offers consulting services to pension or other employee benefit plans (including but not limited to 401(k) plans). Pension consulting may include, but is not limited to: identifying investment objectives and restrictions • • providing guidance on various assets classes and investment options • monitoring performance of investment options and making recommendations for • • changes recommending other service providers, such as custodians, administrators and broker-dealers creating a written ERISA compliant pension consulting plan, when required These services are based on the goals, objectives, demographics, time horizon, and/or risk tolerance of the plan and its participants. Financial Planning Only Financial plans and financial planning may include but are not limited to: investment planning; life insurance analysis; tax analysis; retirement planning; college planning; and debt/credit planning. Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments RFGL generally limits its investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities, equities, ETFs (including ETFs in the gold and precious metal sectors), treasury inflation protected/inflation linked bonds, non-U.S. securities, venture capital funds and private placements. RFGL may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable. Written Acknowledgement of Fiduciary Status 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: • Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent advice); • Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice); • Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and 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 3 • Give you basic information about conflicts of interest. C. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions RFGL 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 RFGL on behalf of the client. RFGL may use model allocations together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their personal restrictions, needs, and targets. 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 RFGL from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions would require RFGL to deviate from its standard suite of services, RFGL reserves the right to end the relationship. We provide comprehensive financial planning and wealth management and apply the strategies that we feel are most appropriate. Clients are under no obligation to act upon Range Financial Group's or associated person's recommendations. If you elect to act on any of the recommendations, you are under no obligation to effect the transaction through Range Financial Group or its associated person when the person is an agent with a licensed broker-dealer or through any associate or affiliate of such person. D. Wrap Fee Programs A wrap fee program is an investment program where the investor pays one stated fee that includes management fees and transaction costs. RFGL does not participate in wrap fee programs. E. Assets Under Management RFGL has the following assets under management: Discretionary Amounts: Non-discretionary Amounts: Date Calculated: $403,426,416 $4,654,706 December 31, 2025 4 Item 5: Fees and Compensation A. Fee Schedule Portfolio Management Fees Total Assets Under Management Annual Fees $1 - $500,000 1.25% $500,001 - $2,000,000 1.00% $2,000,001 - $10,000,000 0.75% $10,000,001 - AND UP 0.50% The above fee scheduled is “tiered”. An example of “Tiered” is a $2,000,000 client will pay 1.25% on the first $500,000 and 1.00% on the remaining $1,500,000. RFGL’s fees are paid quarterly in advance, with payment due within 10 days from the date of the invoice. Fees for partial quarters at the commencement or termination of our agreement will be billed or refunded on a pro-rated basis contingent on the number of days the account was open during the quarter. Quarterly fee adjustments for additional assets received into the account during a quarter or for partial withdrawals will also be provided on the above pro rata basis. The advisory fee is calculated using the value of the assets in the Account on the last business day of the prior billing period. In certain circumstances, fees may be negotiable, and the final fee schedule will be memorialized in the client’s advisory agreement. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full refund of RFGL's fees within five business days of signing the Investment Advisory Contract. When an agreement is terminated, we will refund any pre- paid, unearned fees based on the number of days remaining in the quarter after termination. Refunds will be made within 30 calendar days of the effective date of termination. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Investment Advisory Contract immediately upon written notice. Pension Consulting Services Fees Asset-Based Fees for Pension Consulting Total Pension Assets Under Management Minimum Annual Fee $0 - $1,000,000 $5,000 $1,000,001 - AND UP 0.50% 5 RFGL uses the value of the account as of the last business day of the billing period, after taking into account deposits and withdrawals, for purposes of determining the market value of the assets upon which the advisory fee is based. Generally, RFGL’s pension consulting fees are paid quarterly in advance, with payment due within 10 days from the date of the invoice. However, certain circumstances may require payment of pension consulting fees in arrears. Client’s are advised to review their final contract for detailed billing information. Fees for partial quarters at the commencement or termination of our agreement will be billed or refunded on a pro-rated basis contingent on the number of days the account was open during the quarter. Quarterly fee adjustments for additional assets received into the account during a quarter or for partial withdrawals will also be provided on the above pro rata basis. Pension consulting fees are generally negotiable and the final fee schedule will be memorialized in the client’s advisory agreement. The minimum rate for creating client pension consulting plans is $5,000. This service may be canceled immediately upon written notice. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full refund of RFGL's fees within five business days of signing the Investment Advisory Contract. Thereafter, clients may terminate the pension consulting agreement immediately upon written notice. RFGL uses an average of the daily balance in the client’s account throughout the billing period, after taking into account deposits and withdrawals, for purposes of determining the market value of the assets upon which the advisory fee is based. Financial Planning Only Fees Fixed Fees The negotiated fixed rate for creating client financial plans is typically between $0 and $50,000. Generally, financial plans require 50% payment in advance with he remainder due upon final plan delivery. When necessary, a payment schedule can be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty, for full refund of RFGL’s fees, within five business days of signing the Financial Planning Agreement. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Financial Planning Agreement generally upon written notice and will be refunded the fees for work not yet completed. B. Payment of Fees Payment of Portfolio Management Fees Asset-based portfolio management fees are withdrawn directly from the client's accounts with client's written authorization on a quarterly basis through the client’s custodian or 6 may be invoiced and billed directly to the client on a quarterly basis. Clients may select to be invoiced or to have fees withdrawn directly from their account. Payment of Pension Consulting Fees Asset-based or fixed pension consulting fees are withdrawn directly from the client's accounts with client's written authorization on a quarterly basis or may be invoiced and billed directly to the client on a quarterly basis. Clients may select to be invoiced or to have fees withdrawn directly from their account. Clients are urged to review the contract for the timing of such fee payments. Payment of Financial Planning Only Fees Financial planning fees are paid via check. Fixed financial planning fees are paid 50% in advance, but never more than six months in advance, with the remainder due upon presentation of the plan. C. Client Responsibility For Third Party Fees Clients are responsible for the payment of all third party fees (i.e. custodian fees, brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by RFGL. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding broker-dealer/custodian. D. Prepayment of Fees RFGL collects certain fees in advance and certain fees in arrears, as indicated above. When an agreement is terminated, we will refund any pre-paid, unearned fees based on the number of days remaining in the quarter after termination. Refunds will be made within 30 calendar days of the effective date of termination. For all asset-based fees paid in advance, the fee refunded will be equal to the balance of the fees collected in advance minus the daily rate* times the number of days elapsed in the billing period up to and including the day of termination. (*The daily rate is calculated by dividing the annual asset-based fee rate by 365.) Fixed fees that are collected in advance will be refunded based on the prorated amount of work completed at the point of termination. E. Outside Compensation For the Sale of Securities to Clients Eric Robert Dahm and Steven D Harpham are insurance agents. In this role, they accept compensation for the sale of insurance products to RFGL clients. 7 1. This is a Conflict of Interest Supervised persons may accept compensation for the sale of investment products, including asset based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds to RFGL's clients. This presents a conflict of interest and gives the supervised person an incentive to recommend products based on the compensation received rather than on the client’s needs. When recommending the sale of investment products for which the supervised persons receives compensation, RFGL will document the conflict of interest in the client file and inform the client of the conflict of interest. 2. Clients Have the Option to Purchase Recommended Products From Other Brokers Clients always have the option to purchase RFGL recommended products through other brokers or agents that are not affiliated with RFGL. 3. Commissions are not RFGL's primary source of compensation for advisory services Range Financial Group does not accept commission for the sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. 4. Advisory Fees in Addition to Commissions or Markups investment products recommended Advisory fees that are charged to clients are not reduced to offset the commissions or markups on to clients. All brokerage commissions, stock transfer fees and other similar charges incurred in connection with transactions for the account will be paid out of the assets in the account and are in addition to the investment management fees paid to RFGL. Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management RFGL 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 RFGL generally provides advisory services to the following types of clients: ❖ ❖ ❖ Individuals High-Net-Worth Individuals Pension and Profit Sharing Plans 8 ❖ ❖ Charitable Organizations Corporations or Business Entities Range Financial Group does not have an account minimum. However, we may decline to accept clients with smaller portfolios. Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, & Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Methods of Analysis RFGL’s methods of analysis may 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. RFGL 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. 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 RFGL utilizes multiple investment strategies to meet your investment objectives. These methodologies are formulated based on a comprehensive review and assessment of your expectations, investment time horizon, risk tolerance level, present investment allocation, and current and projected financial requirements. 9 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 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. 10 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. Short term trading risks include 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. 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 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. 11 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. Risks in investing in ETFs include trading risks, liquidity and shutdown risks, risks associated with a change in authorized participants and non-participation of authorized participants, risks that trading price differs from indicative net asset value (iNAV), or price fluctuation and disassociation from the index being tracked. With regard to trading risks, regular trading adds cost to your portfolio thus counteracting the low fees that one of the typical benefits of ETFs. Additionally, regular trading to beneficially “time the market” is difficult to achieve. Even paid fund managers struggle to do this every year, with the majority failing to beat the relevant indexes. With regard to liquidity and shutdown risks, not all ETFs have the same level of liquidity. Since ETFs are at least as liquid as their underlying assets, trading conditions are more accurately reflected in implied liquidity rather than the average daily volume of the ETF itself. Implied liquidity is a measure of what can potentially be traded in ETFs based on its underlying assets. ETFs are subject to market volatility and the risks of their underlying securities, which may include the risks associated with investing in smaller companies, foreign securities, commodities, and fixed income investments (as applicable). Foreign securities in particular are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks, all of which are magnified in emerging markets. ETFs that target a small universe of securities, such as a specific region or market sector, are generally subject to greater market volatility, as well as to the specific risks associated with that sector, region, or other focus. ETFs that use derivatives, leverage, or complex investment strategies are subject to additional risks. 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. The return of an index ETF is usually different from that of the index it tracks because of fees, expenses, and tracking error. An ETF may trade at a premium or discount to its net asset value (NAV) (or indicative value in the case of exchange-traded notes). The degree of liquidity can vary significantly from one ETF to another and losses may be magnified if no liquid market exists for the ETF’s shares when attempting to sell them. Each ETF has a unique risk profile, detailed in its prospectus, offering circular, or similar material, which should be considered carefully when making investment decisions. Private placements carry a substantial risk as they are subject to less regulation than are publicly offered securities, the market to resell these assets under applicable securities laws may be illiquid, due to restrictions, and the liquidation may be taken at a substantial discount to the underlying value or result in the entire loss of the value of such assets. Venture capital funds invest in start-up companies at an early stage of development in the interest of generating a return through an eventual realization event; the risk is high as a result of the uncertainty involved at that stage of development. 12 Non-U.S. securities present certain risks such as currency fluctuation, political and economic change, social unrest, changes in government regulation, differences in accounting and the lesser degree of accurate public information available. 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. 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 a Broker/Dealer or Broker/Dealer Representative Neither RFGL nor its representatives are registered as, or have pending applications to become, a broker/dealer or a representative of a broker/dealer. B. Registration as a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or a Commodity Trading Advisor Neither RFGL nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to become either a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or Commodity Trading Advisor or an associated person of the foregoing entities. C. Registration Relationships Material to this Advisory Business and Possible Conflicts of Interests Eric Robert Dahm and Steven D Harpham are licensed insurance agents with Lenz Financial Group. Eric Robert Dahm also offers disability insurance through Truluma. 13 These activities create a conflict of interest since there is an incentive to recommend insurance products based on commissions or other benefits received from the insurance company, rather than on the client’s needs. Additionally, the offer and sale of insurance products by supervised persons of RFGL are not made in their capacity as a fiduciary, and products are limited to only those offered by certain insurance providers. RFGL addresses this conflict of interest by requiring its supervised persons to act in the best interest of the client at all times, including when acting as an insurance agent. RFGL periodically reviews recommendations by its supervised persons to assess whether they are based on an objective evaluation of each client’s risk profile and investment objectives rather than on the receipt of any commissions or other benefits. RFGL will disclose in advance how it or its supervised persons are compensated and will disclose conflicts of interest involving any advice or service provided. At no time will there be tying between business practices and/or services (a condition where a client or prospective client would be required to accept one product or service conditioned upon the selection of a second, distinctive tied product or service). No client is ever under any obligation to purchase any insurance product. Insurance products recommended by RFGL’s supervised persons may also be available from other providers on more favorable terms, and clients can purchase insurance products recommended through other unaffiliated insurance agencies. Robert Todd Fankhauser, CPA is an accountant and from time to time, may offer clients advice or products from those activities and clients should be aware that these services may involve a conflict of interest. RFGL always acts in the best interest of the client and clients are in no way required to utilize the services of any representative of RFGL in connection with such individual’s activities outside of RFGL. D. Selection of Other Advisers or Managers and How This Adviser is Compensated for Those Selections RFGL does not utilize nor select third-party investment advisers. Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics RFGL 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. RFGL's Code of Ethics is available free upon request to any client or prospective client. 14 B. Recommendations Involving Material Financial Interests RFGL does not recommend that clients buy or sell any security in which a related person to RFGL or RFGL has a material financial interest. C. Investing Personal Money in the Same Securities as Clients RFGL or persons associated with RFGL may buy or sell the same securities that we recommend to you or securities in which you are already invested. A conflict of interest exists in such cases because we have the ability to trade ahead of you and potentially receive more favorable prices than you will receive. To mitigate this conflict of interest, it is our policy that neither our firm nor persons associated with our firm shall have priority over your account in the purchase or sale of securities through the use of “block” or “aggregated” transactions. Refer to the Brokerage Practices section in this brochure for information on our “block” trading practices. D. Trading Securities At/Around the Same Time as Clients’ Securities From time to time, representatives of RFGL may buy or sell the same securities for themselves as clients. This may provide an opportunity for representatives of RFGL to buy or sell securities before or after recommending securities to clients resulting in representatives profiting off the recommendations they provide to clients. While RFGL allows the purchase or sale of the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, to mitigate the conflict of interest, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders through the use of “block” or “aggregated” transactions. Refer to the Brokerage Practices section in this brochure for information on RFGL’s “block” trading practices. At no time will RFGL transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12: Brokerage Practices A. Factors Used to Select Custodians and/or Broker/Dealers Custodians/broker-dealers will be recommended based on RFGL’s duty to seek “best execution,” which is the obligation to seek execution of securities transactions for a client on the most favorable terms for the client under the circumstances. Clients will not necessarily pay the lowest commission or commission equivalent, and RFGL may also consider the market expertise and research access provided by the broker- dealer/custodian, including but not limited to access to written research, oral communication with analysts, admittance to research conferences and other resources 15 provided by the brokers that may aid in RFGL's research efforts. RFGL will never charge a premium or commission on transactions, beyond the actual cost imposed by the broker- dealer/custodian. RFGL recommends Schwab Institutional, a division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and Altruist. 1. Research and Other Soft-Dollar Benefits While RFGL has no formal soft dollars program in which soft dollars are used to pay for third party services, RFGL may receive research, products, or other services from custodians and broker-dealers in connection with client securities transactions (“soft dollar benefits”). RFGL may enter into soft-dollar arrangements consistent with (and not outside of) the safe harbor contained in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. There can be no assurance that any particular client will benefit from soft dollar research, whether or not the client’s transactions paid for it, and RFGL does not seek to allocate benefits to client accounts proportionate to any soft dollar credits generated by the accounts. RFGL benefits by not having to produce or pay for the research, products or services, and RFGL will have an incentive to recommend a broker-dealer based on receiving research or services. Clients should be aware that RFGL’s acceptance of soft dollar benefits may result in higher commissions charged to the client. 2. Brokerage for Client Referrals RFGL receives no referrals from a broker-dealer or third party in exchange for using that broker-dealer or third party. 3. Directed Brokerage (Clients Directing Which Broker/Dealer/Custodian to Use) RFGL may permit clients to direct it to execute transactions through a specified broker-dealer. If a client directs brokerage, then the client will be required to acknowledge in writing that the client’s direction with respect to the use of brokers supersedes any authority granted to RFGL to select brokers; this direction may result in higher commissions, which may result in a disparity between free and directed accounts; the client may be unable to participate in block trades (unless RFGL is able to engage in “step outs”); and trades for the client and other directed accounts may be executed after trades for free accounts, which may result in less favorable prices, particularly for illiquid securities or during volatile market conditions. Not all investment advisers allow their clients to direct brokerage. B. Aggregating (“Block”) Trading for Multiple Client Accounts If RFGL buys or sells the same securities on behalf of more than one client, then it may (but would be under no obligation to) aggregate or bunch such securities in a single 16 transaction for multiple clients in order to seek more favorable prices, lower brokerage commissions, or more efficient execution. In such case, RFGL would place an aggregate order with the broker on behalf of all such clients in order to ensure fairness for all clients and, the actual prices applicable to the aggregated transactions will be averaged, and the account will be deemed to have purchased or sold its proportionate share of the securities or instruments involved at the average price obtained.; Trades will be reviewed periodically to ensure that accounts are not systematically disadvantaged by this policy. RFGL would determine the appropriate number of shares and select the appropriate brokers consistent with its duty to seek best execution, except for those accounts with specific brokerage direction (if any). Item 13: Review of Accounts A. Frequency and Nature of Periodic Reviews and Who Makes Those Reviews All client accounts for RFGL's portfolio management services provided on an ongoing basis are reviewed at least monthly by Eric Dahm, Chief Compliance Officer, with regard to clients’ respective investment policies and risk tolerance levels. All accounts at RFGL are assigned to this reviewer. Financial planning only clients are provided a one-time financial plan concerning their financial situation. After the presentation of the plan, there are no further reports. Clients may request additional plans or reports for a fee. B. Factors That Will Trigger a Non-Periodic Review of Client Accounts Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes in client's financial situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical move, or inheritance). With respect to financial plans for clients engaging in financial planning only, RFGL’s services will generally conclude upon delivery of the financial plan. C. Content and Frequency of Regular Reports Provided to Clients Each client of RFGL's advisory services provided on an ongoing basis will receive a quarterly report detailing the client’s account, including assets held, asset value, and calculation of fees. This written report will come from the custodian in the form of an account statement. Each financial planning only client will receive the financial plan upon completion. 17 Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered to Clients (Includes Sales Awards or Other Prizes) RFGL does not receive any economic benefit, directly or indirectly from any third party for advice rendered to RFGL's clients. With respect to Schwab, RFGL receives access to Schwab’s institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the adviser’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 RFGL 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 RFGL other products and services that benefit RFGL but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or RFGL specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of RFGL 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 RFGL in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include 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, if applicable), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of RFGL’s fees from its clients’ accounts (if applicable), 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 RFGL’s accounts. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to RFGL other services intended to help RFGL 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 RFGL 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 18 a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to RFGL. RFGL is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. B. Compensation to Non – Advisory Personnel for Client Referrals RFGL does not directly or indirectly compensate any person who is not advisory personnel for client referrals. Item 15: Custody When advisory fees are deducted directly from client accounts at client's custodian, RFGL will be deemed to have limited custody of client's assets and must have written authorization from the client to do so. Clients will receive all account statements directly from the custodian and they should carefully review those statements for accuracy. Item 16: Investment Discretion RFGL provides discretionary investment advisory services to clients. The advisory contract established with each client sets forth the discretionary authority for trading. Where investment discretion has been granted, RFGL generally manages the client’s account and makes investment decisions without consultation with the client as to when the securities are to be bought or sold for the account, the total amount of the securities to be bought/sold, what securities to buy or sell, or the price per share. In some instances, RFGL’s discretionary authority in making these determinations may be limited by conditions imposed by a client in the client’s investment guidelines or objectives, or client instructions otherwise provided to RFGL. Item 17: Voting Client Securities (Proxy Voting) RFGL will not ask for, nor accept voting authority for client securities. Clients will receive proxies directly from the issuer of the security or the custodian. Clients should direct all proxy questions to the issuer of the security. Item 18: Financial Information A. Balance Sheet RFGL neither requires nor solicits prepayment of more than $500 in fees per client, six months or more in advance, and therefore is not required to include a balance sheet with this brochure. 19 B. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Ability to Meet Contractual Commitments to Clients Neither RFGL nor its management has any financial condition that is likely to reasonably impair RFGL’s ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. C. Bankruptcy Petitions in Previous Ten Years RFGL has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition in the last ten years. 20
