Raub Brock and its predecessor firms have been providing investment management and planning services since 1989. Our current formation as a limited partnership was registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in 2010. Raub Brock’s principal owner is Richard H. Alpert. ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 Discretionary Assets – $ 466,998,413 Non-discretionary Assets – $ 2,461,522,706 Total Assets Under Management - $ 2,928,521,119 ADVISORY SERVICES We are a disciplined, bottom up, concentrated U.S. equity investment manager. Our primary investment focus is on high quality, dividend growth large cap equity securities. We manage accounts of all types (individual, trust, retirement accounts, etc.) for individual private clients and separately managed, unified managed and wrap accounts for various types of institutional clients, including family offices, banks, pension and profit-sharing plans and third-party asset managers. Investment Management Services – Individually Managed Private Client Accounts Through conversations with clients and its financial planning process, Raub Brock and its clients agree upon investment objectives, guidelines and an asset allocation strategy based upon the client’s financial condition and investment objectives, investment experience, time horizon, risk tolerance level, income requirement, and other factors. The Firm generally accepts new client relationships of $1 million or above; multiple investment accounts may be aggregated to meet this minimum. Raub Brock’s investment advisory services generally include: • Gathering information to determine client investment profile, such as: goals (financial and lifestyle), personal financial information (age, income, expenses, net worth, etc.) investment objectives (income, growth, liquidity, tax deferral, etc.) investment horizon and risk tolerance. • The determination of an appropriate asset allocation for the client’s investment portfolio, in accordance with the client’s specific financial objectives and risk tolerance and in consideration of other factors, including the client’s financial assets, real property, cash flow, liquidity needs, insurance and time horizon (education funding, home purchase, retirement, legacy planning). Clients may identify any investment restrictions to be placed on their account. Each client’s financial objectives, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs, along with a recommended asset allocation and permitted investments, are incorporated into an investment plan that is customized to the client. In the process, Raub Brock may adjust its investment policy with consideration to the client’s securities that are not under Raub Brock’s management. • Monitoring each client’s securities transactions, portfolio holdings, and asset allocation on a continuous basis. 3 We offer a number of different investment strategy models to our private individual clients, based upon their individual investment goals and risk tolerance. Individual private client portfolios are most often a blend of our dominant investment model, the Dividend Growth Portfolio equity strategy and a client-tailored selection of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, fixed income funds, real estate investment trusts and publicly traded limited partnerships to achieve portfolio exposure in specific asset classes, such as stocks traded on foreign exchanges, small capitalization stocks, emerging market stocks, real estate, natural resources, commodities, alternatives and bonds. A client retains the authority to make additions to and withdrawals from their portfolio account at any time, subject to the Firm’s right to terminate an account if the amount of assets drops below our account size minimum. Clients can withdraw account assets with notice to the Firm, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, we design client portfolios as long-term investments and caution our clients that asset withdrawals will impair the achievement of the client’s investment objectives. Additions to an account may be in cash or securities provided that we may decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account or may recommend that the security be liquidated if it is inconsistent with the Firm’s investment strategy or the client’s investment objectives. 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. Investment Management Services – Sub-advisory Services to Institutional Clients In addition to providing investment management services to individual private clients and family offices, Raub Brock provides sub-advisory investment management services to large institutional clients through separately managed account programs (SMA), unified managed account programs (UMA) and wrap fee programs. Such institutional clients are interested exclusively in the Firm’s Dividend Growth Portfolio equity strategy, (for institutional clients, referred to herein as the “Model Portfolio”). The securities recommendations comprising the Model Portfolio are the same securities recommendations that the Firm by and large follows for its individually managed private client accounts. The fees paid to Raub Brock under these sub-advisory arrangements are generally lower than the traditional management fees charged by Raub Brock. These sub-advisory relationships with institutional clients fall into three categories: • Model Portfolio Services – With Trade Executions. Certain institutional SMA advisor clients retain the Firm so that their underlying retail clients can access the Model Portfolio for their own investment accounts. Raub Brock’s services to some of these SMA programs includes development of the Model Portfolio, research, updates and monitoring of the Model Portfolio, and trade executions on behalf of the underlying SMA client accounts in response to model updates. Raub Brock does not enter into a direct relationship with the underlying clients of the SMA programs and does not provide account-specific performance reporting services to those underlying program participant clients. • Model Portfolio Services – With Notice of Model Updates Only. Different institutional SMA advisor and its UMA advisor clients also retain Raub Brock in order that their underlying retail clients can access the Model Portfolio for their investment accounts. However, Raub Brock’s services to these other SMA and UMA programs include only development of the Model Portfolio, research, updates to and monitoring of the Model Portfolio, and “notice only” of model updates. For these program clients, the Firm does not provide trade execution services in response to model updates and does not provide account- 4 specific performance reporting services to underlying clients. Raub Brock does not enter into a direct relationship with the underlying clients of the UMA and SMA programs. • Portfolio Management Services – Wrap Fee Programs. Raub Brock also provides portfolio management services to “wrap fee” programs sponsored by institutional client firms that want to make the Model Portfolio available to underlying wrap program participants. Wrap fee program sponsors typically offer comprehensive brokerage, custodial and advisory services for a single “wrap fee” based on a percentage of assets under management. The wrap sponsor’s services generally include, in addition to the selection of investment advisors such as Raub Brock, consultation on investment objectives and suitability, custodial services, the execution of portfolio transactions, trade confirmations, reporting and the evaluation of investment performance. The program sponsor pays Raub Brock a portion of the wrap fee in connection with the advisory services the Firm provides. When Raub Brock provides its services to wrap fee programs, it contracts with the wrap program sponsor for its services rather than the underlying client participants of the wrap program. The wrap sponsor serves as a master investment advisor and is responsible for client record-keeping and reporting. Each wrap program sponsor is primarily responsible for initially (and routinely thereafter), evaluating whether a given wrap program is suitable for their wrap program participants. Each wrap sponsor is responsible for uploading to the wrap program’s online platform, sufficient initial and updated client financial condition information to allow Raub Brock to verify initial (and monitor ongoing updates in relation to) individual participant suitability regarding the Model Portfolio. Investment Management Services – Exchange Traded Fund Raub Brock is the sponsor of and sub-adviser/portfolio manager to an affiliated exchange traded fund, (“ETF”), known as the Raub Brock Dividend Growth ETF (“the Fund”). The Fund is traded on the NASDAQ exchange. The Fund delivers the same Raub Brock Dividend Growth strategy through an investment product that facilitates access to the strategy to smaller accounts as well as provides for streamlining portfolio holdings and the realization of certain tax efficiencies. Although Raub Brock makes all the Fund’s investment decisions, the Fund is administered by an independent Board of Trustees, and by an unaffiliated third-party ETF management firm, Tidal Financial Group. None of the Board’s members and no owner, officer, employee, or affiliate of Tidal Financial Group is affiliated with Raub Brock. The Fund is owned by its shareholder investors. Raub Brock and its employees are allowed to invest in the Fund. Fiduciary Status When we provide investment advice to each of our clients, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of certain state and federal laws such as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as applicable. These regulations require us to act in our clients’ best interests and not put our interests ahead of our clients’ interests. Financial Planning/Consulting Services – Individually Managed Private Client Accounts The Firm provides financial planning and financial consulting services that may include, among other services: 1. accumulation and retirement planning; 2. employment compensation and benefit planning; 3. analysis of current investment holdings, investment strategy, or asset allocation; 4. education funding; 5. insurance planning; and 6. estate planning. When requested and appropriate, routine financial planning analyses and 5 recommendations are provided to clients as a part of the Firm’s investment management services, without separate fees. In cases where the client’s family circumstances, financial condition, estate plan, current assets and investment and retirement goals involve greater complexity and/or require consultations with outside professionals, financial planning and financial consulting services are charged an additional, separate fee and provided pursuant to a separate written agreement setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement and describing the scope of the services to be provided. Client Obligations In performing its services, Raub Brock relies upon the information received from its client or from their other professional legal and accounting advisors and is not required to independently verify such information. Each client is advised that it remains his/her/its responsibility to promptly notify Raub Brock if there is ever any change in his/her/its financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing/evaluating/revising Raub Brock’s previous recommendations and/or services. Advisor Does Not Provide Comprehensive Tax or Accounting Advice investment management In providing services, Raub Brock’s decisions and include the consideration of the possible alternative tax recommendations may consequences incidental to such decisions and recommendations. However, the Firm does not undertake to provide comprehensive tax or accounting advice or counseling. Although we prepare reports to assist our clients with the preparation of their tax returns, such reports do not represent the advice or approval of tax professionals. We advise clients to consult a tax professional in order to determine the tax and accounting consequences of investments in their accounts. TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT Raub Brock and its clients may terminate their respective investment management agreement at any time, upon written notice. The Firm does not assess any fees related to termination but is entitled to all management fees earned up to the date of termination. Any earned fees owed to Raub Brock are paid from the client’s account on a pro rata basis determined on the amount of time expired in the calendar quarter. If a copy of this Form ADV Part 2A disclosure statement was not delivered to the client prior to or simultaneous with a client entering into a written advisory contract with Advisor, then the client has the right to terminate the contract without penalty within five (5) business days after entering into the contract. For purposes of this provision, a contract is considered entered into when all parties to the contract have signed the contract. If the client terminates the contract on this basis, all fees paid by the client are refunded. Any transaction costs of the executing broker/custodian for establishing the custodial account or for trades occurring during those five days are non-refundable. Item 5 FEES AND COMPENSATION ADVISORY FEES Management Fees – Individually Managed Accounts For its individually managed private client accounts, Raub Brock charges a fee based on a percentage of the market value of the investments held in each client’s account. Assets in the Account are included in the fee assessment unless specifically identified in writing for 6 exclusion. The management fee is billed quarterly, in arrears, and prorated for accounts established or terminated at times other than the start of the quarter. The management fee is computed on the last day of each quarter of management by determining the market value of the Account using the following guidelines: (a) for marketable securities: the current market price provided by custodian and (b) cash or equivalents, at dollar value. Fees charged are not calculated as a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of any portion of the assets under management of an advisory client (SEC Rule 205(a)(1)). The annual management fee paid to Raub Brock is calculated according to the following standard fee schedule: Value of Account Assets Annual Fee Rate On the market value of Account up to $500,000 1.25%, plus On the market value of Account above $500,000 up to $2,500,000 1.00% plus On the market value of Account above $2,500,000 up to $5,000,000 0.80%, plus On the market value of Account above $5,000,000 0.60% The foregoing describes Raub Brock’s basic fee schedule for individual private clients; however, fees are negotiable at the discretion of Raub Brock and arrangements with any particular client may vary. In some cases, the fees may be greater than fees charged by other investment advisors for similar services; in other cases, fees may be lower. Fees for multiple accounts of the same client are determined by aggregating the account holdings to determine the overall assets under management and investment management fee, then allocating the fee to each account on a pro rata basis. Clients are invoiced at the beginning of each calendar quarter for management services performed in the previous quarter. Clients customarily authorize Raub Brock to deduct its quarterly investment advisory fee directly from their custodial account. This authorization is granted under the terms of the client’s signed investment management agreement and the client’s instructions to the custodian. It is the client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the fee calculation, as the custodian will not determine whether the fee is properly calculated. Because client investment assets include money market funds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, third-party funds or other such securities, the total investment management expense incurred by clients will consist of fees paid to Raub Brock, plus management fees charged directly to the fund portfolios by the fund management companies, plus any transaction fees charge by the custodian of client’s account. (See “Fund Disclosures” below.) Management Fees – Institutional Clients with Separately Managed/Unified Managed and Wrap Accounts For its institutional clients, the Firm charges an investment management fee that is calculated as a percentage of the underlying assets under management. The fees charged by the Firm under these arrangements are generally at a lower percentage of assets than those otherwise charged by Raub Brock for its non-institutional clients. However, because its 7 fees are bundled into the overall program fees charged by the institutional advisor, the underlying clients of such advisors could pay more in management fees than those paid by non-institutional clients. The asset-based fee schedules for institutional clients are specific to each client relationship, based upon the type and size of the arrangement, and range from 50 to 70 basis points on the total assets under management. Fees paid to Raub Brock under certain UMA arrangements are lower than the standard management fees charged by the Firm. Raub Brock’s fees are payable either quarterly or monthly and either in advance or arrears, depending upon the billing practices of the institutional advisor. Institutional relationships vary and, in some cases, the institutional advisor retains sole billing authority and pays Raub Brock directly from the management fees it receives. For institutional accounts over which Raub Brock has direct trading responsibility and for which it bills fees directly, fees payable in arrears are calculated on the value of assets in the account at the end of each billing period. The management fee is computed on the last day of each period by determining the market value of the Account using the following guidelines: (a) for marketable securities, the current market price provided by custodian and (b) cash or equivalents, at dollar value. Fees charged are not calculated as a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds of an advisory client (SEC Rule 205(a)(1)). For wrap fee programs, the single wrap fee paid by each wrap program participant is distributed amongst the wrap sponsor advisor, the wrap program broker-dealer, and Raub Brock as the Model advisor. Consequently, each wrap fee participant is advised to consider the level of the single fee charged under the program relative to the services provided, including the amount of portfolio activity in the account and the value of custodial and portfolio monitoring services. The single fee may be higher or lower than the total cost of all services the underlying client is receiving if they were to pay for each service separately. Management Fees – Exchange Traded Fund The Raub Brock Dividend Growth ETF charges a unitary management fee of 0.50% of its average daily net assets. This Fee is deducted directly from the Fund’s assets, reduces the Fund’s net asset value and is reflected in the Fund’s share price. Out of the 0.50% unitary Management Fee, Tidal Financial Group first pays the Fund’s operating expenses. Raub Brock is paid its Sub-Advisory fee out of whatever remains after those expenses have been paid, subject to a contractual maximum of .50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets should there be no operating expenses in a given month. If the Management Fee is below the level needed to cover expenses, Raub Brock forfeits its Sub-Advisory fee (0.0%) for that period and would be required to pay all unmet expenses. The Fund’s Management Fee, its total annual operating budget, and Raub Brock’s sub-advisory fee are described in the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The Firm’s individually managed clients that hold shares in the Fund pay a proportionate share of the Fund Administrator’s unitary management fee in addition to their investment management fee to the Firm. Financial Planning and Financial Consulting Services – Individually Managed Accounts For its financial planning services to its individually managed private clients, Raub Brock charges a fixed fee which is based upon the complexity of the planning services requested and ranges between $1,000 and $5,000. Raub Brock rarely charges hourly fees for its services but may choose to offer individual financial consultations at an hourly rate of $300 per hour 8 depending upon the level and scope of service(s) required and the professional rendering the service(s). A portion of the estimated fee for the engagement is due upon entering into the engagement agreement; thereafter, ongoing fees are payable as invoiced. GENERAL FEE DISCLOSURES The foregoing describes Raub Brock’s basic fee schedules for its clients. The client’s fee is determined in accordance with the above fee structure; however, fees are negotiable at the discretion of Raub Brock and arrangements with any specific client may vary. Any deviations from the fee structure are based upon several factors including the amount of work involved, the amount of assets placed under management and the attention needed to manage the account. We believe our investment management fees are competitive with the fees charged by other investment advisors in the San Francisco Bay area for comparable services. However, comparable services may be available from other sources for lower fees than those charged by Raub Brock. Raub Brock receives no commissions on securities purchased or sold for client accounts. We do not provide clients advice as to the tax deductibility of our advisory fees. Clients are directed to consult a tax professional to determine the potential tax deductibility of the payment of advisory fees. CUSTODIAN AND BROKERAGE FEES Clients incur certain charges imposed by their custodians and other third parties such as custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Additionally, clients incur charges by the executing broker-dealer in the form of brokerage commissions and transaction fees on the investment transactions entered for their account(s). All these charges, fees and commissions are in addition to Advisor’s investment management fee. FUND DISCLOSURES Mutual funds, closed-end funds, exchange traded funds, and alternative investment funds are investment vehicles and the investment strategies, objectives and types of securities held by such funds vary widely. In addition to the advisory fee charged by Raub Brock, clients indirectly pay for the expenses and advisory fees charged by the funds in which their assets are invested. All such funds incur operating expenses in connection with the management of the fund. Investment funds pass some or all these expenses through to their shareholders (the individual investors in the funds) in the form of management fees. The management fees charged vary from fund to fund. In addition, funds charge shareholders (individual investors in the funds) other types of fees such as early redemption or transaction fees. These charges also vary widely among funds. As a result, clients still pay management fees and other, “indirect” fees and expenses as charged by each mutual fund (or other fund) in which they are invested. Clients are provided a copy of a fund prospectus for each fund in which they invest by their custodian or by the fund sponsor rather than by Raub Brock. As required by law, a 9 prospectus represents the fund’s complete disclosure of its management and fee structure. In addition, a fund’s prospectus can be obtained directly from the fund. BOND DISCLOSURE Clients whose assets are invested in bonds purchased directly from an underwriter may pay a sales credit or concession to the underwriter on the trade (in lieu of a sales commission). Item 6 PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES No part of Raub Brock’s investment management fee is based upon capital gains or the capital appreciation of assets. Item 7 TYPES OF CLIENTS Our clients include individuals and high net worth individuals, family offices, trusts and estates, banks and pension and profit-sharing plans and institutional advisors. Raub Brock also provides investment management services as a sub-advisor to an exchange traded fund (ETF) and through separately managed, unified managed and wrap accounts. For its individually managed private client accounts, Raub Brock requires a minimum portfolio of $1,000,000. As a result, Raub Brock’s services are not appropriate for everyone. Particularly for smaller accounts, other investment advisors may provide somewhat similar services for lower compensation, although still others may charge more for similar services. Item 8 METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RISK OF LOSS METHODS OF ANALYSIS Raub Brock’s primary method of analysis is fundamental analysis. Fundamental analysis involves analyzing real data, including overall economic and company-specific information available to determine the value of a particular investment. Sources of information used by Raub Brock include third-party research materials, company annual reports and other regulatory filings, and financial newspapers and periodicals. We believe that dividend growth is the primary driver of long-term stock price appreciation. Accordingly, our efforts focus on identifying high quality companies that can deliver sustainable, above average growth in dividends. We invest in companies with growing dividends driven by consistent earnings and revenue growth, strong balance sheets, experienced management teams and leading products or services. We hold the view that such companies not only have the potential to contribute above average returns to the portfolio but also pose less risk. INVESTMENT STRATEGY For all client accounts over which Raub Brock has been granted discretionary authority, it is authorized to enter any type of investment transaction that it deems appropriate for the account, given the financial circumstances, investment objectives, risk tolerance, and investment restrictions, if any, set by the individual client. Raub Brock currently utilizes general types of investments including equities, corporate and municipal bonds, investment company products (i.e., mutual funds, annuities, exchanged traded funds (“ETFs”), among other securities. For active investments, the Firm relies on individual stocks and bonds, as well as equity and bond mutual funds. On the passive investment side, the Firm relies on indexed funds and ETFs. 10 Generally, the Firm purchases securities in client accounts with the intent to hold them for one year or more (long term), although occasionally and when warranted, securities are held for the short term only (less than one year). Raub Brock does not use “short sales” in implementing investment advice for clients although it may use ETFs or hedge funds that employ “short sales” strategies. The Firm generally does not routinely engage in the purchase of securities on margin for clients, although the Firm may do so to cover short-term portfolio liquidity needs, or when the client requests that it do so. Due to the risks and costs of trading on margin the Firm does not recommend the use of margin by its clients. Nevertheless, from time to time, a client’s margin account may go into a negative cash position, which may occur for a day or two surrounding trade settlement for a given transaction or may result from a client withdrawal of funds from their account without notifying the Firm. Our policy is to cure this negative position when practicable depending on the extent of the shortfall and the availability of assets. On occasion, after consultation with and consent from the client, the Firm waits for a longer period of time to employ assets scheduled to become available to the account, for example from a maturing bond. Alternative Investments In addition to these types of investments the Firm also provides investment advice regarding alternative investments to qualified clients for whom such investments are deemed suitable. These alternative investments include, but are not limited to, venture capital limited partnerships, private equity, managed future funds, hedge funds, and third-party funds of funds. INVESTMENT RISKS All securities investments carry risk, including the risk that an investor loses a part or all his or her initial investment. Risk refers to the uncertainty that the actual return the investor realizes could differ from the expected return. Risks may be systematic, referring to factors that affect the returns on all comparable investments and that affect the market as a whole. Systematic risks include market risk, interest rate risk, reinvestment rate risk, purchasing power risk and exchange rate risk. Unsystematic risks depend on factors that are unique to the specific investment security. These risks include business risk and financial risk. Here are some of the principal risks associated with parts of our investment strategy: Principal Risks Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from specific issuers. The equity securities held in an investment portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which the portfolio invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers. Dividend-Paying Common Equity Security Risk. In selecting common equity securities in a portfolio will invest, the Firm will consider the issuer’s history of paying regular periodic dividends to its common equity holders. Such dividends are not fixed but are paid periodically at the discretion of the issuer’s board of directors. Companies that have 11 historically paid dividends are not required to continue to pay dividends and could reduce or eliminate the payment of dividends in the future. Quantitative Security Selection Risk. Data for companies may be less available and/or less current than data for companies in other markets. The Firm uses quantitative analysis, and its process could be adversely affected if erroneous or outdated data is utilized. In addition, securities selected using quantitative analysis could perform differently from the financial markets as a whole as a result of the characteristics used in the analysis, the weight placed on each characteristic and changes in the characteristic’s historical trends. Growth Stock Investment Risk. Growth-oriented common stocks may involve larger pricing swings and greater potential for loss than other types of investments. Growth stocks tend to trade at a premium when analyzed using traditional valuation metrics such as price-to- earnings ratio and price-to-book ratio. Due to this premium valuation, growth stocks tend to be more susceptible to big price swings. In bull markets, they tend to rise at a much faster pace than the overall market, and they tend to decline at a more rapid rate in bear markets. Value Stock Investment Risk. A value stock may not increase in price if other investors fail to recognize the company’s value or the markets favor faster-growing companies. Investing in or having exposure to “value” stocks presents the risk that the stocks may never reach what the Raub Brock believes are their full market values, either because the market fails to recognize what the Firm considers to be the companies’ true business values, including its assessment of their intangible value, or because the Firm misjudged the company’s value. For any particular stock, there can be no assurances that the market will reflect the fair value of the stock, and it may remain undervalued. Quality Stock Investment Risk. Stocks included in the Fund are deemed by the Firm to have certain quality characteristics (e.g., leverage, financial efficiency, financial stability, and earnings consistency), but there is no guarantee that the past performance of these stocks will continue. Companies that issue these stocks may experience a decline in value, as well as increased leverage, resulting in lower than expected or negative returns to a portfolio shareholders. Many factors can affect a stock’s quality and performance, and the impact of these factors on a stock or its price can be difficult to predict. Sector Risks. The Firm’s investment selection process may result in the allocation of more of a portfolio’s investments to a particular sector or sectors in the market. If the Firm invests a significant portion of total assets in a certain sector or certain sectors, the portfolio will be more susceptible to the financial, economic, business, and political developments that affect those sectors than a portfolio that is more diversified. Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in non-U.S. securities involve risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to political or economic instability. There may be less information publicly available about a non-U.S. issuer than a U.S. issuer. Non- U.S. issuers may be subject to different accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers. Changes to the financial condition or credit rating of foreign issuers may also adversely affect the value of the securities. Investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. Because legal systems differ, there is also the possibility that it will be difficult to obtain or enforce legal judgments in some countries. 12 Investment in foreign securities may involve higher costs than investment in U.S. securities, including higher transaction and custody costs as well as the imposition of additional taxes by foreign governments. Each of these factors can make investments in a portfolio more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. ● Depositary Receipts Risks. Depositary receipts involve risks similar to those associated with investments in foreign securities and certain additional risks. Depositary receipts listed on U.S. exchanges are issued by banks or trust companies and entitle the holder to all dividends and capital gains that are paid out on the underlying foreign shares (“Underlying Shares”). When a portfolio invests in depositary receipts as a substitute for an investment directly in the Underlying Shares, the portfolio is exposed to the risk that the depositary receipts may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the Underlying Shares. The Firm may invest in unsponsored depositary receipts. The issuers of unsponsored depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose material information in the United States and, therefore, there may be less information available regarding such issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the value of the depositary receipts. ● Currency Exchange Rate Risk. A portfolio’s assets may include exposure to investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies or in securities or other assets that provide exposure to such currencies. Changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of a portfolio’s investments and the value of Fund shares. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in a portfolio may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money. ● Emerging Markets Risk. Investments in emerging market securities impose risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed countries, including significant price volatility and/or restrictions on foreign investment. Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments and may present the risk of nationalization of businesses, expropriation, and confiscatory taxation, or, in certain instances, reversion to closed market, centrally planned economies. Emerging market economies may also experience more severe downturns. Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries. In addition, less information may be available about companies in emerging markets than in developed markets because such emerging markets companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or to other regulatory practices required by U.S. companies. Such conditions may impact the ability of a portfolio to buy, sell, or otherwise transfer securities; adversely affect the trading market and price for such securities; and/or cause a portfolio to decline in value. inflation (or expectations for Economic and Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in a portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in the general financial markets, a particular financial market, or other asset classes, due to a inflation), deflation (or number of factors, including expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, financial system instability, debt crises and downgrades, 13 tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other embargoes, governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the portfolio’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. The imposition by the U.S. of tariffs on goods imported from foreign countries and reciprocal tariffs levied on U.S. goods by those countries also may lead to volatility and instability in domestic and foreign markets. Short-term purchases – on occasion, generally only for tax management purposes, we may determine to buy or sell securities in a client’s account and hold them for less than a year. Some of the risks associated with short-term trading that could affect investment performance are increased commissions and transaction costs to the account and increased tax obligations on the gains in a security’s value. Bond Pricing – The price of bonds depends in part on the current rate of interest. Rising interest rates decrease the current price of bonds because current purchasers require a competitive yield. As such, decreasing interest rates increase the current value of bonds with associated decrease in bond yield. We may decide to exchange to a lower or higher duration bond or to another asset class due to interest rate risk that could affect investment performance. Active Management Risk – Raub Brock portfolios are subject to the risk that our research and judgment about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of any of our portfolio holdings may prove incorrect. If the securities selected or strategies employed by Raub Brock fail to produce the intended result, portfolios managed by Raub Brock could underperform other portfolios with similar objectives and investment strategies. Furthermore, because our process is geared to long-term investment, our portfolios are not immune to short-term market forces, which could impact any investor who instructs us to sell at an inopportune time. Investment Style Risk – At various stages of the market cycle, speculators tend to gravitate towards highly leveraged investments that are at that time generating high levels of profitability. Because portfolios managed by Raub Brock avoid investing in highly leveraged businesses, they will almost certainly underperform in those types of market environments. In general, Raub Brock portfolios should be expected to underperform anytime high-quality investments underperform riskier assets. Stock and Bond Market Risk – Stocks generally fluctuate more than bonds or cash and may decline rapidly over short time periods. There is always the chance that stock prices will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. Prices of individual stocks can fall either because of factors related to the underlying business or industry or due to general weakness in the stock market as a whole. With any stock or bond there is a risk of a loss of capital. Clients must accept the risk associated with stock and bond market fluctuations or change to a more appropriate investment portfolio in alignment with their risk tolerance. Alternative Asset Classes – Many alternative investments are illiquid, which means that the investments are difficult to trade. Consequently, such holdings may limit a client's ability to dispose of such investments in a timely manner and at an advantageous price. 14 Inflation – Inflation is the loss of purchasing power through a general rise in prices. If an investment portfolio is designed for current income with a real rate of return of 4% and inflation were to rise to 5% or higher, the account would result in a loss of purchasing power and create a negative real rate of return. Reinvestment of Dividends – An investor can choose to reinvest interest, dividends, and capital gains to accumulate wealth. This is an appropriate strategy for a portfolio designed for capital growth. However, the reinvested earnings could result in a lower or a higher rate than was initially earned. Mutual Funds with Foreign Asset Holdings – Any investments in mutual funds that make foreign investments are subject to the uncertainty with changes in the foreign currency value. The client will bear more risk and may earn a substantially higher return or a substantially lower return. Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk exists when investments are subject to restrictions making them difficult to sell, possibly preventing clients from selling such securities at an advantageous time or price. Margin Trading – In some cases, and generally only for short term financing considerations, clients may elect to assume a margin balance on their investment account. The client’s custodian may require a percentage of assets under management to be pledged as collateral for the margin amount. Clients risk that in a falling market, the pledged collateral will be insufficient to cover a margin call by their custodian. Consequently, all margin decisions are left to the client. Risks Pertaining to the Raub Brock Dividend Growth ETF Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Fund has a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem Shares directly from the Fund (known as “Authorized Participants” or “APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (a) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions. Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments. Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of shares will approximate the Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium) or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant. 15 Trading. Although shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as [ ] (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the shares will develop or be maintained or that the shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of Shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of the Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than shares. Shares trade on the Exchange at market price that may be below, at or above the Fund’s NAV. Trading in shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. In addition, trading in shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. As a result, the Fund could be adversely affected and be unable to implement its investment strategies in the event of an unscheduled closing. Management Risk. The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio. In managing the Fund’s investment portfolio, the portfolio managers will apply investment techniques and risk analyses that may not produce the desired result. There can be no guarantee that the Fund will meet its investment objective. Large-Capitalization Investing. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions. Non-Diversification Risk. Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it was a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio. Operational Risk. The Fund is subject to risks arising from various operational factors, including, but not limited to, human error, processing and communication errors, errors of the Fund’s service providers, counterparties or other third-parties, failed or inadequate processes and technology or systems failures. The Fund relies on third parties for a range of services, including custody. Any delay or failure relating to engaging or maintaining such service providers may affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective. Although the Fund, Adviser, and Sub-Adviser seek to reduce these operational risks through controls and procedures, there is no way to completely protect against such risks. Item 9 DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION Raub Brock has no disciplinary history and consequently, is not subject to any disciplinary disclosures. 16 Item 10 OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS Raub Brock is an independent investment advisor, unaffiliated with any other financial institution or securities dealer or issuer. We recommend that our clients custody their investment accounts at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a broker-dealer registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and a member of the Securities Investors Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Although we recommend Schwab, we have no affiliation with Schwab, do not supervise its brokerage activities and are not subject to its supervision. The Firm has several institutional clients to which it provides investment management services, including to the primary adviser to an exchange traded fund. We provide these services to other investment advisors, banks and trusts and third-party asset managers. In some cases, the firm has entered into formal sub-advisor arrangements. Although we refer our clients to other professionals such as attorneys or accountants for estate planning, tax, or other matters, neither the Firm nor its principals or employees are affiliated with any law or accountancy firm other than noted above. Item 11 CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING As a fiduciary, Raub Brock has a duty to act with utmost good faith and in the best interests of our each of our clients. Our clients entrust us with their assets, which in turn place a high standard on our conduct and integrity. The fiduciary duty is the core principle underlying the Firm’s Personal Trading and Code of Ethics policies and procedures, which are designed to ensure that our personnel: (i) observe applicable legal (including compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws) and ethical standards in performance of their duties; (ii) at all times place the interests of our clients first; (iii) disclose all actual or potential conflicts; (iv) adhere to the highest standards of loyalty, candor and care in all matters relating to clients; (v) conduct all personal trading consistent with applicable regulations and internal procedures and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or any abuse of their position of trust and responsibility; and (vi) not use any material non-public information in securities trading. The Code establishes policies regarding other matters such as pre-clearance of certain personal trades, reporting of outside business activities, the giving or receiving of gifts and certain political contributions, and ongoing personal portfolio holdings reporting. its employees and their immediate Raub Brock, families (sometimes collectively “employees”) are permitted to buy and sell securities for their personal investment accounts. The Firm has adopted employee personal trading policies and procedures and a code of ethics to govern proprietary (on behalf of the Firm itself) and employee trading practices. Raub Brock’s owner, officers and employees are required to report all personal securities transactions on a regular basis. All employees are required to sign a certification agreeing to abide by the Firm’s code of ethics. Employees are allowed to personally invest in the same securities that are purchased for client trading accounts and to own securities that are subsequently purchased for client accounts. However, it is our policy not to give preference to orders for personnel associated with the Firm regarding such trading. From time to time, trading by employees in particular securities is restricted in recognition of impending investment decisions on behalf of clients. 17 If a security is purchased or sold for client accounts and employees on the same day, either employees pay or receive the same price as the client account, or the client account receives the more favorable price. If purchased or sold on different days, it is possible that the Firm and/or employees’ personal transactions might be executed at more favorable prices that were obtained for clients. Employees buy or sell different investments, based on personal investment considerations, which the Firm may not deem appropriate to buy or sell for clients. It is also possible that employees take investment positions for their own accounts that are contrary to those taken on behalf of clients. Employees also buy and sell specific securities for their personal accounts based on personal investment considerations aside from company or industry fundamentals, which are not deemed appropriate to buy or sell for clients. This can occur when securities that are not suitable for clients at the time of purchase (e.g., speculative stocks, micro-cap stocks, penny stocks), are purchased by employees. If these securities subsequently appreciate, these personal transactions could be viewed as creating a conflict of interest. Conversely, employees liquidate security positions that are held both for their own account and for the accounts of Firm clients, sometimes in advance of clients. This occurs when personal considerations (i.e., liquidity needs, tax-planning, industry/sector weightings) deem a stock sale necessary for individual financial planning reasons. If the security subsequently falls in price, these personal transactions could be viewed as a conflict of interest. A copy of Raub Brock’s employee trading policies and code of ethics is made available to clients and prospective clients upon request. Item 12 BROKERAGE PRACTICES RECOMMENDATION OF SCHWAB AS CUSTODIAN/EXECUTING BROKER – PRIVATE CLIENTS Raub Brock recommends that its individually managed private clients establish brokerage accounts with Schwab to maintain custody of clients' assets and to effect trades for their accounts. Schwab is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Raub Brock and does not supervise or otherwise monitor Raub Brock’s investment management services to its clients. Schwab provides Raub Brock with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which typically are 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 but are not otherwise contingent upon Raub Brock committing to Schwab any specific amount of business (in the form of either assets in custody or trading). Schwab's services include brokerage, custody, research 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. Schwab also makes available to Raub Brock other products and services that benefit Raub Brock but do not benefit its clients. Some of these other products and services assist Raub Brock in managing and administering clients' accounts. These include software and other technology 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 Raub Brock's fees from its clients' accounts; and assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally are used to 18 service all or a substantial number of Raub Brock's accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. Schwab also makes available other services intended to help Raub Brock manage and further develop its business. These services may include consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab makes available, arranges and/or pays for these types of services to Raub Brock by independent third parties. Schwab occasionally discounts or waives fees it otherwise would charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to Raub Brock. Raub Brock’s recommendation that its private clients maintain their assets at Schwab is based in part on the benefit to Raub Brock of the availability of the foregoing products and services 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. CUSTODIAN/EXECUTING BROKER ARRANGEMENTS – INSTITUTIONAL CLIENTS All custodial and brokerage arrangements for the Firm’s separately managed account programs (SMA), unified managed account programs (UMA) and wrap fee programs are established by and at the discretion of the institutional client. CUSTODIAN/EXECUTING BROKER ARRANGEMENTS – ETF All custodial and brokerage arrangements for the Raub Brock Dividend Growth ETF are established by and at the discretion of the Fund Administrator. BEST EXECUTION Raub Brock is not obligated to obtain the best net price or lowest brokerage commission on any particular transaction. Rather federal law requires investment managers to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the most favorable execution for each transaction executed on behalf of client accounts. For Individually Managed Client Accounts: In selecting broker-dealers, Raub Brock’s primary objective is to obtain the best execution. Expected price, giving effect to brokerage commissions, if any, and other transaction costs, are principal factors, but the selection also takes account of other factors, including the execution, clearance and settlement capabilities of the broker-dealer, the broker-dealers willingness to commit capital, the broker-dealers reliability and financial stability, the size of the particular transaction and its complexity in terms of execution and settlement, the market for the security, the value of any research and other brokerage services provided by the broker-dealer, and the cost incurred by placing prime brokerage trades in client accounts. Based upon an evaluation of some or all these factors, Raub Brock may execute client trades through broker-dealers that charge fees that are higher than the lowest available fees. Raub Brock may select broker-dealers whose fees may be greater than those charged for similar investments if Raub Brock determines that brokerage services and research materials provided by that broker-dealer warrant the payment of higher fees. Raub Brock reviews transaction results periodically to determine the quality of execution provided by the various broker-dealers through whom Raub Brock executes transactions on behalf of clients. 19 For Sub-advisory Services to Institutional Clients Sponsoring Wrap Fee Programs: As described above in Item 4, certain of the Firm’s institutional clients provide their underlying clients access to the Model Portfolio through wrap fee programs using custodial arrangements and trading platforms designated by the wrap program sponsor. Wrap program participants’ assets are custodied with the wrap program’s designated custodian which executes all securities trades in the participant accounts. Raub Brock is required to execute all wrap participants’ trades through the specified trading platforms/custodians and is unable to seek different or better trade execution, if any were available, from any other executing broker-dealer. Consequently, Raub Brock’s ability to obtain best execution is limited. services, industry and company comments, SOFT DOLLAR ARRANGEMENTS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS Raub Brock is not currently a party to any formal “soft dollar” arrangements whereby an executing broker-dealer, including Schwab provides or purchases on its behalf, brokerage services, or research products in exchange for a set level of brokerage commissions paid by Raub Brock clients on trades in their investment accounts. Such services or research products are known as “soft dollar” products and services. Soft dollar research and services would include among others, economic and market information, portfolio strategy advice, proxy voting technical data, recommendations, research conferences, general reports, periodical subscription fees, consultations, performance measurement data, on-line pricing, news wire charges, quotation services, computer hardware, and software. If Raub Brock ever accepts soft dollar services and research in exchange for client trade commissions, the Firm’s policy would be to limit such arrangements to those falling within the safe harbor of Section 28(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Only bona fide research and brokerage products and services that aid the Firm in the performance of its investment decision-making responsibilities would be permitted and we would ensure that commissions paid are reasonable considering the value of the brokerage and research services acquired. Occasionally, Raub Brock receives discounts on software and other services from Schwab on a non-soft dollar basis. These discounts are generally offered to all firms who fit a common profile or asset threshold. Such discounts are accepted with the intent of benefiting all clients and their value is not considered in the process of selecting securities to purchase for client accounts. AGGREGATION OF TRADES AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS Raub Brock is authorized to combine transaction orders on behalf of multiple clients and allocate the securities or proceeds on an average price basis among the various participants in the transactions. While we believe that aggregating orders should be advantageous to all participants over time, in any particular instance, the average price could be less advantageous to any given client than if such client had executed the transaction alone or had completed its transaction before the other participants. When orders are aggregated, the price paid by each account is the average price of the order. Transaction costs are allocated to each client by the client’s custodian according to the client’s custodial agreement. It is our policy that, over time, trades are not allocated in any manner that favors one group of clients over another group. Client transactions are aggregated according to custodian in consideration of “trade away” charges that are imposed if trades are directed to a non-custodial broker-dealer for execution. Aggregated trades placed with different executing brokers may be priced differently. 20 Raub Brock and/or its associated persons may participate in such aggregated client orders. However, there are circumstances in which transactions on behalf of Raub Brock or its associated persons may not, under certain laws and regulations, be aggregated with those of clients. In such cases, neither Raub Brock nor any associated person will affect transactions in the same security on the same day as clients until after the clients’ transactions have been executed. ALLOCATION OF OPPORTUNITIES AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS Because we manage more than one client account, there is a conflict of interest related to the allocation of investment opportunities among all accounts managed by the Firm. We attempt to resolve all such conflicts in a manner that is generally fair to all clients over time. We may give advice and take action with respect to any of our clients that may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to any other client based upon individual client circumstances. It is our policy, to the greatest extent practicable, to allocate investment opportunities over time on a fair and equitable basis relative to all clients. The Firm is not obligated to acquire for any client account any security that the Firm or its owners, officers, employees or affiliated persons may acquire for their own accounts or for the account of any other client, if in the discretion of the portfolio managers, based upon the client’s financial condition and investment objectives and guidelines, it is not practical or desirable to acquire a position in such security for that account. DIRECTED BROKERAGE In a limited number of cases, clients direct Raub Brock to place all orders for securities transactions with a specific broker-dealer (directed brokerage). In these cases, Raub Brock is not obligated to, and will generally not solicit competitive bids for each transaction or seek the lowest commission rates for the client. As such, the client will likely pay higher commission costs, higher security prices, and transaction costs than it otherwise would have had it not directed Raub Brock to trade through a specific broker. In addition, the client may be unable to obtain the most favorable price on transactions executed by Raub Brock as a result of Raub Brock’ inability to aggregate/bunch the trades from this account with other client trades. Furthermore, the client may not be able to participate in the allocation of a security of limited availability (such as an IPO), if those new issue shares are not provided by the client’s directed broker or dealer. In addition, Raub Brock may not execute securities transactions with client-directed brokers until non-directed brokerage orders are completed. Accordingly, clients directing brokerage may not generate returns equal to clients that do not direct brokerage. Due to these circumstances, there may be a disparity in commission rates charged to a client who directs Raub Brock to use a particular broker and performance and other differences from other similarly managed accounts. Clients who direct brokerage should understand that similar brokerage services may be obtained from other broker-dealers at lower costs and possibly with more favorable execution. TRADE ROTATION PRACTICES The Dividend Growth Portfolio equity strategy (again, for our institutional clients, the Model Portfolio) is the Firm’s predominant investment strategy for all its clients, with certain variations adopted for the Firm’s individual private clients based upon individual financial goals and tolerances. Periodically, in response to research and market conditions, the Firm 21 updates and refines the strategy/Model Portfolio. For its individual private clients that follow the strategy and for certain SMA and wrap fee program participants, the Firm will execute securities trades to implement the updates. For the Raub Brock Dividend Growth ETF and other SMA and UMA institutional advisors, notice only of the updates is provided through electronic updates to the Model Portfolio on an automated institutional platform or via email. To prevent the underlying participants of any institutional advisor, or the Firm’s individual private clients from being disadvantaged over time, the Firm has adopted a randomized trade rotation protocol that rotates the order in which notice of the strategy/Model Portfolio updates is provided or updating trade executions are made. In this regard, Raub Brock trade staff maintains an internal spreadsheet listing the participating executing brokers for all clients and which automatically randomly rotates through the list with each strategy/Model Portfolio update to determine which broker will be first for notice of the model update or any actual trade executions. For institutional advisors that are provided notice of model updates only (and not also trade execution), Raub Brock does not control when or if such advisors implement the model changes through actual trade executions. It is possible that although any group of notice- only investment advisors is first in the rotation to receive notice of updates, the advisers may enter their trade executions for the accounts managed by them after Raub Brock has executed trades for other institutional clients or for the Firm’s individually managed accounts. Consequently, Raub Brock cannot guarantee that the underlying clients of notice-only advisers will receive prices as favorable as any other client following the strategy/Model Portfolio. Purchases and sales of securities by any individual or institutional account managed by Raub Brock could have an adverse effect on the price or availability of securities identified from time to time in the strategy/Model Portfolio, and Raub Brock is not precluded by reason of such actual or possible adverse effects, from making such purchases, sales or recommendations for any account managed by the Firm. Item 13 REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS All individually managed client accounts are reviewed by Richard Alpert, the Firm’s portfolio manager, for consistency with the client’s investment policy. The portfolio manager monitors client portfolios and holdings as part of an ongoing process that tracks asset class allocations, cash allocations, and other account factors. Periodic allocation adjustments are required due to client investment guideline changes, client deposits and withdrawals and significant life changes for the client (births, deaths, marriage, divorce, etc.) Additionally, client accounts are reviewed in response to changes in the financial markets and/or changes in the Firm’s investment strategy. Clients receive reports at least quarterly, summarizing portfolio holdings, asset allocations, and portfolio performance. Investment commentary is included as the Firm deems appropriate in the form of a newsletter. In addition, clients receive transaction confirmations and a monthly account statement from the custodian of their account. 22 Item 14 CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION Raub Brock does not pay referral fees to any third-party firm or individual for recommending the Firm to prospective clients. We do not direct brokerage transactions to any broker- dealer in exchange for receiving client referrals from that broker-dealer. Neither the Firm nor its employees are paid referral fees by any third party for referring clients to their businesses. Firm employees are not paid “sales awards” or other prizes for referring clients to the Firm. Item 15 CUSTODY Raub Brock does not maintain physical custody of client funds or securities. Clients are required to set up their investment accounts with a “qualified custodian,” namely a broker dealer, bank, or trust company. Raub Brock is unable to take even temporary possession of client assets for the purpose of transferring them to the client’s account. Each client has a direct relationship with their custodian and is responsible for making deposits to and withdrawals from their account, as necessary. Nevertheless, although Raub Brock does not maintain physical custody of client investment accounts, it is deemed to have custody of certain clients’ assets on the basis of its clients having granted the Firm the authority to: 1. automatically deduct its management fees directly from clients’ portfolio accounts; and in some cases, 2. Implement client-approved transfers of assets between a client’s own accounts and if authorized, to client-designated third-party accounts. In all cases, the Firm is deemed to have custody on the basis of its authority to receive payment of its investment management fees via direct payment by the client’s custodian from the client’s investment account. Disclosures Related to Custodians The Schwab Advisor Services Division of Schwab acts as custodian and executing broker- dealer for Raub Brock clients. Schwab is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Raub Brock and does not supervise or otherwise monitor our investment management services to our clients. For Raub Brock client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transaction-related fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into client accounts that are held with Schwab. In most cases, trade executions for client accounts custodied at Schwab are made by Schwab to avoid “trade away” charges otherwise imposed for trades executed at other broker-dealers. In cases where the desired security is not available for purchase or sale through the custodial broker, and in light of our best execution evaluation, certain executions may be made at a different broker-dealer. Schwab sends account statements directly to the client (or to an independent third-party representative designated by the client), no less than monthly, showing all funds and securities held, their current value and all transactions executed in the client’s account, including the payment to Raub Brock of its investment management fees. 23 Item 16 INVESTMENT DISCRETION The timing of any buys or sells; The amount of securities to buy or sell; and The broker-dealer to be used in the transaction; and Clients appoint Raub Brock as their investment advisor and grant full trading and investment authority over their assets at the time they establish their investment accounts. Subject to the Firm’s investment strategy and the client’s investment objectives, our portfolio managers are given full discretion to determine: Types of investments; • • Which securities to buy; • Which securities to sell; • • • This discretion may be limited by client investment guidelines and by any investment restrictions set by the client. Where possible, the Firm negotiates the commission rates at which transactions for client accounts are affected, with the objective of attaining the most favorable price and market execution for each transaction. Client securities transactions generally are executed through the custodian of the client’s account to avoid “trade away” fees for trades that are executed at other broker-dealers. In some cases, a particular security may not be available through the client’s custodian or available only under execution parameters or at an overall cost that makes the use of an alternative executing broker more advantageous for that transaction. In such cases, the portfolio managers have the discretion to select the broker to execute the trade. Item 17 VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES It is Raub Brock general policy not to vote proxy solicitations or shareholder actions received on behalf of individually managed clients related to the securities held in the client’s account. Unless otherwise agreed to with the client, all such solicitations are forwarded to the client by the client’s custodian upon receipt of a client request. Under certain circumstances, the Firm may agree to vote proxy solicitations or shareholder actions on behalf of an institutional advisor requesting that it do so. In these limited cases, the Firm has adopted proxy voting guidelines which it follows in voting such matters. Any client wishing to review our proxy voting policies in full may request a copy. Item 18 FINANCIAL INFORMATION Raub Brock does not require or solicit prepayment of its management fees from clients six months or more in advance. There are no adverse conditions related to the Firm’s finances that are likely to impair our ability to meet our contractual commitments to our clients. The Firm has never been the subject of a bankruptcy filing. INDEX OF ERISA RELATED DISCLOSURES Raub Brock provides investment management services to retirement plans governed by the Employee Retirement Investment Security Act (“ERISA”).
