Item 4 - Advisory Business
Firm Description
ROBINSON VALUE MANAGEMENT (“Adviser”) is an independent investment
management firm registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Founded in 1997, Robinson Value Management took on its current name and
ownership structure in 2008 having previously operated under the name Robinson &
Wilkes, Ltd.
Principal Owners
RW Value Management, Inc. (“RW Value Management”) is the general partner of
Adviser and is retained by Adviser to provide personnel and other services to Adviser.
RW Value Management is owned 51% by Amy Abbey Robinson and 49% by Charles
W. Robinson III, who are also current officers and employees of RW Value
Management. Passive interests in Adviser, are owned 51% by Amy Abbey Robinson,
48% by Charles W. Robinson III, and 1% by RW Value Management. Through RW
Value Management, Amy Abbey Robinson serves as the Adviser’s President and CEO
and Charles W. Robinson III serves as the Adviser’s Chief Investment Officer and Chief
Compliance Officer.
Types of Advisory Services
Adviser provides personalized, confidential investment management to individuals,
banks, thrift institutions, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, corporations and small businesses (“Clients”). Advice is provided through
consultation with Clients or their wealth managers and may include: determination of
Client’s financial objectives, an analysis of suitability of the investment approach with
respect to the Client, and a description of the discretionary investment advisory and
management services provided.
Adviser is strictly a fee-only investment management firm and is not affiliated with any
other entities.
Adviser does not custody client assets and does not sell insurance, pooled vehicles, or
any other commissioned products.
Other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) may be
engaged directly by Clients on an as-needed basis. Conflicts of interest will be disclosed
to Clients in the event they occur.
All of Adviser’s business is providing investment supervisory services, also known as
asset management services. Investment supervisory service means the giving of
continuous advice as to the investment of funds on the basis of the individual needs of
each Client. Individual needs include, for example, the nature of other Client assets and
the Client’s personal and family obligations.
Robinson Value Management

Adviser provides fully discretionary investment advice using separate account
management as well as on a sub-advisory basis.
In all cases, Clients have a direct and beneficial interest in their securities, rather than
an undivided interest in a pool of securities. Adviser does not and will not serve as
qualified custodian of Client funds or securities. Adviser has limited authority to direct
the qualified custodian to deduct investment advisory fees, but only with the appropriate
authorization from the Client.
As of October 24, 2025, Adviser managed approximately $197,683,384, in assets.
100% of these accounts are managed on a discretionary basis.
Separate Accounts
Most Clients choose to have Adviser manage their assets to obtain ongoing in-depth
advice. All aspects of Clients’ financial affairs are reviewed. No agreement may be
assigned without Client consent. The scope of work and fee for an Investment
Management Agreement is tailored to each Client and provided in writing prior to the
start of the relationship.
At the start of a relationship, all Clients complete an Investment Policy Statement (IPS)
indicating their investment objectives. The IPS provides guidance regarding Client
goals, especially with respect to return, risk, the targeted asset allocation, and the
constraints to be considered, i.e., income, time horizon, taxes, liquidity, legal issues, etc.
A copy of the executed IPS is provided to Client and the document is updated as his or
her situation changes.
The goals, objectives, and related information for each Client are documented in his or
her Investment Policy Statement, as are initial allocations and strategy implementations
as determined by the Client. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain
securities or types of securities. Realistic and measurable goals are set and objectives
to reach those goals are defined. As goals and objectives change over time,
suggestions are made, the Investment Policy Statement is updated, and modifications
are implemented on an ongoing basis.
Sub-Advisory Agreements
Adviser may be engaged to provide sub-advisory services by unaffiliated third-party
investment advisers or trustees in order to assist with the management of their
investment programs. Adviser does not provide investment discretion over sub-advised
client accounts but provides recommendations and investment advice regarding the
construction and maintenance of model portfolios.
The model portfolios are provided and the third-party adviser or trustee completes all
account maintenance and supervisory functions. Adviser, as sub-adviser, is
compensated directly by the unaffiliated third-party investment adviser or trustee, as per
the executed sub-advisory services agreement. Unaffiliated third-party investment
advisers and trustees who engage Adviser as sub-adviser shall be responsible for
Robinson Value Management
5
billing their Clients and collecting all fees. Information concerning the description of the
services provided and the sub-advisory fees paid to Adviser are contained in the
documents of those third parties. Adviser does not directly sponsor, manage portfolios,
or place client assets in any wrap fee programs.
Models Provided within Wrap Fee Programs
The Adviser provides investment management services through wrap fee programs
sponsored by unaffiliated third-party investment advisers.
The Adviser entered into a Strategist Agreement with Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC
(CRD # 107975) (“OPS Program”) to provide the Adviser’s Market Opportunity strategy
as an option for clients and third-party advisers within the OPS Program. The Adviser
provides the strategy’s model and subsequent changes to the model. The OPS
Program sponsor is responsible for executing transactions based on the arrangement
between the sponsor and the client or the client’s adviser.
The Adviser entered into a Model Portfolio Adviser Agreement with Envestnet Portfolio
Solutions (formerly Placemark Investments), (CRD # 109662) (“Envestnet Program”) to
provide the Adviser’s Market Opportunity strategy as an option for clients and third-party
advisers within the Envestnet Program. The Adviser provides the strategy’s model and
subsequent changes to the model. The Envestnet Program sponsor is responsible for
executing transactions based on the arrangement between the sponsor and the client or
the client’s adviser.
The Adviser does not have a direct relationship with wrap fee program clients that use
the Adviser’s strategy. Contractual agreements for the wrap fee programs are between
the sponsor and the client and/or the client’s adviser.
The Adviser receives a portion of the fee received by the sponsor of the wrap fee
programs for providing the strategy. More information regarding the wrap fee programs
and the fees paid by clients to participate in them can be found in the disclosure
brochure for the wrap fee programs.
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Description
Adviser bases its fees on a percentage of assets under management. The annual fee
as stated in the Investment Management Agreement is based on a percentage of the
investable assets according to the following schedule:
First
Next

$1,000,000

Robinson Value Management
6
For any account over $10,000,000, the first 2 tiers of fees, 1.00% and 0.75%, are waived,
with the result that the fee on the first $10,000,000 is 0.50% of assets. Fixed Income Only
portfolios are managed at a 30% discount to the standard fee schedule. New relationships
are typically subject to a two million dollar ($2,000,000) minimum market value at inception.
Current client relationships may exist where the fees are higher or lower than the fee
schedule above. Fees may be negotiable in certain instances (i.e., size of account, current
client or relative, etc.)
Fee Billing
Investment management fees are billed quarterly in advance (meaning that they are
invoiced at the beginning of the three-month billing period) using end of quarter market
values, or as otherwise agreed. Unless otherwise agreed, fees shall be prorated for
periods of less than three months in the case of new accounts and terminated accounts.
Prorated fees will not be billed on mid-quarter additions to existing accounts nor
refunded on non-terminating withdrawals by the Client.
At Adviser’s discretion, Adviser may aggregate asset amounts across several accounts
belonging to a household (or group of households) to determine the advisory fee for
those Client accounts. Adviser may do this, for example, when it services accounts on
behalf of the client’s minor children, individual and joint accounts for a spouse, and/or
other types of related accounts. This consolidation practice is designed to allow the
benefit of an increased asset total, which could potentially qualify the Clients’ account(s)
for a reduced advisory fee based on the asset level thresholds available in our fee
schedule.
Payment in full is expected upon invoice presentation. Fees are usually deducted from a
designated Client account to facilitate billing. Clients must consent in advance to direct
debiting of their investment accounts. They must provide written authorization permitting
the fees to be paid directly from their account held by the qualified custodian. Once
authorized to debit the account, fees are debited quarterly directly by the qualified
custodian and paid to the Adviser.
Further, the qualified custodian will deliver or make available through their client portal
an account statement at least quarterly directly to the Client indicating all the amounts
deducted from the account including the Adviser’s advisory fees. Clients are
encouraged to review their account statements for accuracy. The Adviser receives
duplicate copies of the custodian statements that were delivered to Clients.
Adviser also earns fees from unaffiliated third-parties to whom it provides sub-advisory
services.
Other Fees
Assets invested in mutual funds (“MFs”) and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are
charged a fee by the fund company. Fund companies charge each fund shareholder an
investment management fee that is disclosed in the fund prospectus. Brokers may
Robinson Value Management
7
charge a transaction fee for the purchase of some funds. Adviser does not receive any
compensation, in any form, from fund or brokerage companies.
Advisory fees payable to the Adviser do not include all the fees paid when the Adviser
purchases or sells securities for Client account(s). The following list of fees or expenses
are what Clients may pay directly to third parties, whether a security is being purchased,
sold or held in their account(s) under Adviser’s management.

practices.
Expense Ratios
MFs and ETFs generally charge a management fee for their services as investment
managers. The management fee is called an expense ratio. For example, an expense
ratio of 0.50 means that the mutual fund company charges 0.5% for their services.
These fees are in addition to the fees paid to Adviser.
Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various publications are after
their fees have been deducted (net of fees).
Termination of Agreement
Clients may terminate their agreements with Adviser at any time effective immediately
upon giving written notice. Adviser may terminate an Agreement with a Client after
providing at least thirty (30) days' written notice from Adviser to Client. Unless otherwise
agreed, fees shall be prorated for periods of less than three months in the case of new
accounts and terminated accounts. Prorated fees will not be billed on mid-quarter
additions to existing accounts nor refunded on non-terminating withdrawals. The date to
prorate terminated accounts shall be the date that the Adviser’s investment
responsibilities cease. Upon termination, Clients are responsible for monitoring the
securities in their accounts, and the Adviser will have no further obligation to act or to
advise them with respect to those assets.

Fees for the OPS Program
The Adviser receives a portion of the fee received by the sponsor of the OPS Program
for providing the strategy. As of the date of this brochure, the Adviser receives a net fee
of 0.50% on assets invested in its strategy offered in the OPS Program. The Adviser
pays administrative and other fees to participate in the OPS Program. More information
regarding the OPS Program and the fees paid by clients to participate in the OPS
Program can be found in the disclosure brochure for the OPS Program.
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees
Sharing of Capital Gains
Adviser does not use a performance-based fee structure. Adviser fees are not based on
a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Description
Adviser generally provides investment advice to individuals, banks, thrift institutions,
pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations
and small businesses (“Clients”). The Adviser also provides investment management
services through separately managed account, wrap fee programs sponsored by an
unaffiliated third-party investment advisers, Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC and
Envestnet Portfolio Solutions, Inc.
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
Account Minimums
New relationships are typically subject to a two million dollar ($2,000,000) minimum
market value across related accounts at inception. Adviser, in its sole discretion, may
charge a lesser investment advisory fee based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical
relationship, type of assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future
additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account
composition, negotiations with Clients, etc.).
Prospective clients who do not meet this minimum may be referred to other registered
investment advisers who use the OPS Program or the Envestnet Program as they are
subject to lower minimums. Please see Items 4 and 5, above, for a description of the
program and its fees.

Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Robinson Value Management utilizes a combination of internal and external sources to
analyze securities. Our methods include both qualitative and quantitative approaches to
fundamental analysis, as well as cyclical/seasonal and technical aspects of price
movement. The main sources of information on potential investments may include but
are not limited to publicly available sources, i.e., quarterly and annual reports, other
filings with the SEC, company press releases, financial newspapers and magazines.
Some data is also purchased, including digital sources for financial statements, security
pricing and corporate actions, corporate rating services and, occasionally, research
materials prepared by others.
Investments include: equities (stocks), U.S. government securities, exchange-traded
funds (ETFs), corporate debt securities, municipal securities, cash and cash
equivalents, as well as commercial paper and certificates of deposit. In order to
accommodate client specific needs, they may also include mutual funds, interests in
partnerships or other secondary market securities. They will not include initial public
offerings (IPOs).
Investment Strategies - Overview
WHO WE ARE
Robinson Value Management is an employee-owned investment management boutique
dedicated to our clients and to prioritizing risk management in the construction of their
investment portfolios.
We embrace our fiduciary responsibility to serve and protect our clients’ portfolios over
varied terrains and through challenging environments. This duty is encapsulated in the
name of the firm. “Value” is a standard of worth, merit, or virtue—with the same root as
the English word valor. For us, value management means not only a “value-oriented”
investment process, but also serving as vigilant stewards of what our clients value—
integrity, hard work, and resilience. Growth of purchasing power. Peace of mind.
While risk is inherent to any investment process, we are committed to mitigating risks
and keeping client portfolios firmly on the path to solid long-term returns.
PHILOSOPHY AND PROCESS
Today’s slow growth economy requires a new point of reference with which to chart a
solid path.
While fundamental analysis is a first step in our investment journey; macroeconomic
and behavioral factors can overwhelm fundamentals-only based investing in the short
run. Emotions and shifts in expectations can drive large price movements that seem to
depart from common sense and investment fundamentals.
Robinson Value Management
10
As the size of government has expanded in proportion to the overall economy, its
activities have a greater impact on financial and capital markets, at times causing
systemic risk to alternate between “headwinds” and “tailwinds” markets. We believe the
effects of government policy-making and execution can create observable, sometimes
predictive and profitable patterns in investment markets.
We believe the investment industry falls short in its efforts to define and manage risk.
Evaluating returns and risks after the impact of both inflation and distributions produces
a more practical analysis of outcomes and recommendations for the client. Risk
statistics are generally seen as static averages by the industry. In reality, they tend to
fluctuate with market conditions. “Average performance” is not what the investor
experiences during a market crisis. Finally, much of the investment industry is resigned
to passively selecting a risk exposure rather than engaging in true risk management,
i.e., attempting to understand and manage the factors that can damage equity returns.
Robinson Value Management actively seeks to protect portfolios from the factors most
damaging to equity returns. We believe this approach mitigates risk more effectively
than a mere allocation to intermediate bonds or diversifying to excess.
Although risky, equities remain the best source of wealth creation over time.
Unlike much of the industry and popular press today, we do not advocate the latest
fads. We will not reduce equity exposures to buy illiquid alternative investments. Nor will
we sneak in a few volatile (high beta) stocks in an effort to inflate returns while
remaining quiet about the added risk.
Whether allocating among asset classes or selecting individual stocks, Robinson Value
Management’s investment process employs a refined and selective diversification,
choosing each investment for its potential to take advantage of risk and add stability in
the extremes of today’s investment markets. By surveying and scrutinizing each
portfolio and investment opportunity for potential hazards, Robinson Value Management
provides the solid ground sought by investors in the ever-shifting sands of today’s
investment market.
Robinson Value Management puts client best interests first. Serving others successfully
requires integrity, expertise, and experience, as well as knowing and appreciating each
client. These values drive us to craft portfolios tailored to suit independent-minded
clients who appreciate risk aversion and healthy skepticism.
Investment Strategies
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives stated by the
client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Each
client executes an Investment Policy Statement that documents his or her objectives
and desired investment strategy.
Robinson Value Management currently manages investments using the following
primary investment strategies: Contrarian Value Equity, WON World Equity, Taxable
Robinson Value Management
11
Fixed Income, and Market Opportunity. Adviser also manages the following blends of
our primary strategies: Wealth of Nations® and Contrarian Value Balanced,
each described below.
Equities
Contrarian Value Equity is a risk-averse approach to investing in individual equities that
seeks to mitigate risk of loss while growing purchasing power.
WON World Equity uses a trend following approach to invest in global equity and
commodity-based ETFs.
Fixed Income
Taxable Fixed Income invests in investment grade bonds of intermediate maturity, and
is duration managed to maximize total return.
Macro
Market Opportunity is a two-part portfolio allocated 2/3 to long/short US equity market
exposure and 1/3 to instruments such as long duration, high quality fixed income, and
precious metal bullion and/or mining companies through exchange traded funds (ETFs).
The approach uses margin, imbedded in ETFs, to establish short and leveraged long
positions.
The Market Opportunity strategy is available on the OPS Program and Envestnet
Program. The Adviser delivers updates to the current strategy to the wrap programs, but
is not responsible for the implementation of the strategy, including the timing of the
placement of trades. Implementation is done by the sponsor or the client’s adviser as
described in the client’s agreement with the OPS Program or Envestnet Program.
Blends
Wealth of Nations® combines one or a blend of our equity strategies with a significant
15%-30% allocation to the macro-oriented Market Opportunity strategy.
Contrarian Value Balanced is for those clients who desire both income and long-term
growth of principal. The balanced portfolio combines one or a blend of our equity
strategies with the Taxable Fixed Income strategy in a proportion determined by client
needs and preferences.
Risk of Loss
All securities investments risk the loss of capital. As with any investment approach or
strategy, the Adviser’s strategies cannot assure any given level of return or that
investment objectives will in fact be realized. Any past successes cannot assure future
results. There can be no assurance that any investment or strategy will result in
profitability or that any investment or strategy will not incur losses.
Economic & Market Conditions
Robinson Value Management
12
Changes in economic and market conditions, including, for example, interest rates,
exchange rates, inflation rates, industry conditions, competition, technological
developments, political and diplomatic events and trends, tax laws and innumerable
other factors, can affect portfolio investments. None of these conditions will be
foreseeable or within the control of Adviser.
Inflation Risk. When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much
as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
Inflation risk reflects the risk that returns on an investment, despite having a positive
absolute return, do not suffice to maintain the purchasing power of the initial investment.
Currency Risk. Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the
dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred
to as exchange rate risk.
Reinvestment Risk is the risk that future proceeds from investments may have to be
reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (e.g., interest rate) due to different market
conditions. This primarily relates to fixed income securities.
Equity Securities. The value of equity securities fluctuates in response to issuer,
political, market, and economic developments. Fluctuations can be dramatic over the
short term as well as long term, and different parts of the market and different types of
equity securities can react differently to these developments.
Fixed Income Securities. Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk and interest
rate risk. Credit Risk refers to the likelihood that an issuer will default in the payment of
principal and/or interest on an instrument. Financial strength and solvency of an issuer
are the primary factors influencing credit risk. In addition, inadequacy of collateral or
credit enhancement for a debt instrument may affect its credit risk. Credit risk may
change over the life of an instrument, and debt obligations which are rated by rating
agencies are often reviewed and may be subject to downgrade. Interest rate risk refers
to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes may
affect the value of a debt instrument indirectly (especially in the case of fixed rate
securities) and directly (especially in the case of adjustable rates). In general, rising
interest rates will negatively impact the price of a fixed rate debt instrument and falling
interest rates will have a positive effect on price. Adjustable-rate instruments also react
to interest rate changes in a similar manner although generally to a lesser degree
(depending on reset terms, among other factors). Interest rate sensitivity is generally
more pronounced with lower-rated and longer-term debt and becomes less predictable
in instruments with uncertain payment schedules.
Concentrated Investments: Commodities. Investments or strategies concentrated in
a particular industry may be subject to heightened volatility. Commodities investing may
be subject to a greater degree of market risk including sensitivity to cyclical economic
conditions, sudden political events, and adverse international monetary policies as well
as exposures to foreign markets and concentrations in certain industries. Strategies
targeting investment in gold-related stocks, for example, are subject not only to broader
equity market movements but also to factors affecting the price of gold, access to gold,
and particularities of its mining and distribution.
Robinson Value Management
13
Foreign Investments. Foreign investments require consideration of risks typically not
associated with investing in U.S. securities including, among other things, trade
balances and related economic policies, currency exchange rate fluctuations, changes
in regulation by the U.S. or foreign governments, U.S. and foreign withholding taxes,
limitations on the removal of funds or other assets, changes in foreign policies with
respect to nationalization of their industries, political difficulties, and economic or
political instability in foreign nations. There may be less publicly available information
about certain foreign companies than would be the case for comparable companies in
the U.S. and certain foreign companies may not be subject to accounting, auditing and
financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to or as uniform as those of
U.S. companies. These risks may be more pronounced in smaller and less stable
emerging market countries.
Risks Related to Investment Strategy
In addition to the foregoing risks related to investments generally, there will be
investment risks inherent in techniques used to manage client portfolios.
Quantitative Investing. Adviser employs quantitative models in certain investment
strategies. Although quantitative models are tested, no assurance can be made that
such models will perform consistently in the future. Model-driven strategies employed by
others have resulted in substantial losses in a short period of time.
Fundamental Investing involves measuring a security's intrinsic value by examining
related economic and financial factors. Key examples include per share measures of
stock price relative to book value, revenues, earnings, cash flow, and dividends. In
addition to market and economic cycles that place value strategies out of favor,
incorrect assessment of fundamental factors may cause a fundamentals-based strategy
to underperform.
Contrarian Value Investing involves targeting investments that are underperforming in
the markets and/or receiving negative publicity in the press or pressure from analysts.
Contrarian strategies typically seek specific catalysts indicating a potential end to what
is perceived to be a temporary setback. As with value investing generally, there is a risk
of incorrectly assessing the value drivers of specific companies and of underperforming
during “out of favor” market cycles. Additionally, a mis-assessment of a catalyst or its
impact, or its failure to materialize and/or be realized in the company’s stock price could
cause a contrarian strategy to underperform the broader market.
Market Timing is a difficult strategy for nearly all investors that involves attempting to
trade in or out of one or more markets. Whether done using quantitative models, the
strategy essentially involves two correct calls – the entry point and the exit point. In the
event an investor buys into the market near a short- or long-term peak and/or sells out
of the market near lows, the strategy’s investment objective has not been met.
Use of Leveraged ETFs and Inverse ETFs. Leveraged ETFs seek to deliver multiples
of the performance of the index or benchmark they track. Inverse ETFs are “short” the
benchmark, seeking to deliver the opposite of the performance of that index. Inverse
ETFs are offered as a way to hedge exposure to falling markets. Some funds are both
Robinson Value Management
14
inverse and leveraged, meaning that they seek to achieve a return that is a multiple of
the inverse performance of the underlying index. To accomplish their objectives,
leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue a range of investment strategies through the use of
swaps, futures contracts and other derivative instruments. The use of these strategies
can result in significant losses.
These leveraged and inverse ETFs “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to
achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their
performance over periods longer than one day can differ significantly from the
performance (or inverse performance) of their underlying benchmark over the same
period of time. This effect can be magnified in volatile markets, and will be further
magnified by the use of leverage.
Using a two-day example, if the benchmark goes from 100 to 101 on day one and back
down to 100 on day two, the two-day return of an inverse ETF will be different than if the
index had moved up to 110 on day one and back down to 100 on day two. In the first
case, with low volatility (and without consideration of any transaction or other costs), the
inverse ETF loses 0.01%; but in the more volatile scenario the inverse ETF loses
1.01%. If the inverse ETF were also 3x levered, the difference is magnified. In the low
volatility scenario, the loss goes from -0.01% to -0.09%. In the high volatility scenario,
the leverage drives the loss from -1.01% to -9.89%. And the effects of mathematical
compounding can grow significantly over time.
Underlying Fund Expenses. Client accounts necessarily incur a share of the expenses
of their underlying investments. Each client will indirectly bear their share of the fees,
trading costs and other expenses of any mutual funds or ETFs in the client’s portfolio.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics
The employees of Adviser are committed to a Code of Ethics that is available for review
by Clients and prospective Clients upon request.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Adviser and its employees may buy or sell securities that are also held by clients, but
employees may not trade their own securities ahead of client trades. Employees must
comply with the provisions of the Robinson Value Management Code of Ethics and the
Policies and Procedures Manual.
The Policies and Procedures Manual contains the written supervisory policies and
procedures of the Adviser and is followed by all personnel in carrying out their
responsibilities. Its purpose is to help ensure that the Adviser conducts its business in
compliance with all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and in
keeping with the highest level of professional and ethical standards.
Personal Trading
The Chief Compliance Officer of Adviser is Charles W. Robinson III, CFA.
Adviser maintains quarterly reports of all non-exempt personal securities transactions of
its employees, and requires that employees provide Adviser with a copy of all
statements for reportable accounts. Further, Adviser’s written policies and procedures
are designed to prevent the misuse of material non-public information and insider
trading by any officer, partner, or associated person of the Adviser. These policies are
also designed to ensure that employee securities transactions are consistent with
Adviser’s fiduciary duties to its Clients and to ensure compliance with legal
requirements and Adviser’s standards of business conduct. As such, these policies and
procedures impose restrictions on employees’ purchase and sale of securities for their
own accounts and the accounts of certain related persons. Transactions for Adviser and
related persons in securities owned or to be purchased for Clients must either be filled
in blocks with other client accounts or satisfy the timing restrictions in Adviser’s policies
and procedures. It is Adviser’s policy that Client interests always come before those of
the Adviser or its employees.
Subject to the restrictions above, Adviser and related persons may buy or sell for
themselves securities that Adviser buys and sells for Clients.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
Selecting Qualified Custodians and Brokerage Firms
Adviser does not have any affiliation with qualified custodians and/or securities
brokerage firms. Clients may direct the use of specific qualified custodians and/or
Robinson Value Management
16
brokerage firms, and Adviser will make every effort to accommodate such direction.
Adviser will inform client of existing qualified custodial and brokerage relationships for
comparison, so Client can make an informed decision. Adviser suggests qualified
custodians and brokerage firms based on the proven integrity and financial
responsibility of the firm and the best execution of orders at reasonable commission
rates. Adviser suggests, but in no way limits its activities to trust companies, discount
and full-service brokerage firms, and other qualified custodians.
Adviser does not receive fees or commissions from any of these arrangements.
Without specific direction from the Client, Adviser reserves the right to act with full
authority in determining securities to be bought or sold, amounts to be bought or sold,
broker or dealer to be used, and commission rates paid. In selecting brokers and
determining the reasonableness of their commissions, Adviser makes an effort to
negotiate the most favorable rates and highest quality of execution and related services
relevant to the management of the Client’s portfolio.
Best Execution
Trades are placed with the custodial-broker-dealer or traded away to another broker to
ensure healthy competition, comparisons, optimized execution quality, and reasonable
costs. Subject to Client direction to use a particular broker, dealer, or sponsor, in
selecting a broker-dealer to execute a particular transaction, we seek to use our best
judgment to choose the broker-dealer most capable of providing the services necessary
to obtain the best price and most favorable execution for the Client. Where Clients direct
brokerage, it may limit Adviser’s ability to aggregate Client orders with those of other
clients, negotiate commissions or otherwise seek best execution. Adviser does not
consider best execution to be the lowest possible commission cost, but rather whether
the transaction represents the best qualitative execution under the circumstances
existing at the time of the trade. We consider the full range of brokerage services,
including but not limited to execution capabilities, commission rate, financial
responsibility, responsiveness and the value of any research provided. In addition, we
consider the character of the market for the security, size and type of transaction, and
number of primary markets. We have controls in place for monitoring execution in
Clients’ portfolio transactions, including reviewing trades for best execution.
Soft Dollars
Adviser does not engage in soft dollar relationships so that the interests of Adviser and
its Clients are more closely aligned. Except where routinely provided by broker-dealers
to facilitate account maintenance and trading, all research and software maintenance is
paid for by Adviser and such research and software is used to service Client accounts.
Order Aggregation
Investment decisions for each Client are made independently for each Client. Prior to
the allocation of securities, Adviser will determine if a Client’s investment objectives and
suitability requirements qualify the Client for participation in purchasing a specific
security. Often the same security may be appropriate for more than one Client, so that
Robinson Value Management
17
the same security may be purchased or sold simultaneously for more than one Client's
account. When two or more Clients are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale
of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with
procedures believed to be appropriate for each Client.
Adviser will aggregate transactions only if it believes that aggregation is in the best
interests of the applicable Clients, is consistent with its duty to seek best execution for
its Clients, and is consistent with the terms of its investment advisory agreement with
each Client for whom transactions are being aggregated.
Adviser’s policies and procedures are designed to result in fair and equitable allocations
of securities purchased and sold. The formula for allocating trades is based upon a pro-
rata distribution of shares, based on the targeted value of each account’s allocation to
the particular asset class, and the appropriate percentage of that asset class
represented by the new security, which will be the same percentage, typically, for each
Client. Each Client that qualifies receives a similar percentage of its targeted equity
allocation.
Whenever possible, allocations are determined in advance so that each investment
represents the same percentage of that class of investment in each account for which
the investment is appropriate. The average price for each investment at each broker is
given to each such account participating in the block at each broker. Partial fills and
shares purchased when advance allocation is not possible, shall be allocated pro-rata
across each account in proportion to the initial allocation or the allocation that would
have been made had advance allocation been possible.
Additionally, we have outsourced some of our back-office tasks to Orion Advisor
Services, LLC (OAS). These include tasks of daily portfolio accounting and
reconciliation, client report generation and delivery, and advisory fee billing. OAS also
provides Adviser with internal reports, GIPS-compliant composites, and assistance with
trade calculation and allocation.
Trades Executed in the Wrap Fee Programs
The Adviser does not execute any trades for strategies in the wrap fee programs.
Executed trades in the wrap fee programs are the responsibility of the sponsors or the
client’s adviser, pursuant to the client’s agreement for the wrap fee programs. Therefore,
clients investing in the wrap fee programs will likely have different execution costs and
prices than trades placed by the Adviser for Clients not participating in the wrap fee
programs.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Periodic Reviews
Charles W. Robinson III and Amy Abbey Robinson work as a team on all investment
accounts and no instructions are given to them by Robinson Value Management. The
Robinson Value Management
18
general partner, through Charles W. Robinson III and Amy Abbey Robinson, provides
daily review of accounts to insure appropriate asset allocation and individual security
selection. Amy Abbey Robinson, and Charles W. Robinson III, help Clients and
prospects define their needs and goals, which assists in determining appropriate asset
allocations for each account.
Review Triggers
Other conditions that may trigger an account review are changes in the tax laws, new
investment information, and changes in a Client's situation.
Regular Reports
Clients should expect monthly reports detailing holdings and activity in the Client’s
portfolio from their qualified custodian. Adviser provides to Client each quarter a report
containing a summary of holdings and performance, a statement of buy and sell
reasons, called “The Model Portfolio,” and a quarterly review of the markets and the
economy, called “The Long and Short of It.”
Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Incoming Referrals
Adviser has been fortunate to receive many client referrals over the years. The referrals
came from current clients, estate planning attorneys, accountants, employees, personal
friends of employees and other similar sources. The Adviser does not compensate
referring parties for these referrals. If the firm were to ever enter into any such referral
arrangements, they would be structured in accordance with SEC Rule (Rule 206(4)-1).
Referrals Out
Adviser does not currently engage in any outbound referral program.
Clients Referred to the OPS Program
As noted under Item 7, above, if a client is below the Adviser’s minimum account value,
such clients may be referred to consider the OPS Program as it is subject to lower
minimums. As noted under Item 5, above, the Adviser receives a portion of the fee
received by the sponsor of the OPS Program for providing the strategy. Thus, any client
that chooses to participate in the Adviser’s strategy through the OPS Program will result
in the Adviser receiving a fee for providing the strategy model.
Other Compensation
None.
Item 15 – Custody
Adviser does not provide custodial services and encourages clients to work with a
qualified custodian to hold their assets. Under the Amended Custody Rule, Adviser is
Robinson Value Management
19
considered to have custody over client assets where Adviser has authority granted to it
by clients to directly deduct Adviser’s fees from the clients’ custodial accounts.
Account Statements
Clients should receive at least quarterly statements from the broker-dealer, bank or
other qualified custodian that holds and maintains their investment assets. The qualified
custodian takes possession of all securities, collects dividends and interest, and
provides for the investment of cash. While statements are reconciled by Adviser to
ensure that all transactions are properly recorded, Adviser urges all Clients to carefully
review the custodian’s statements and compare the official custodial records to
Adviser’s reporting. Adviser statements may vary from custodial statements based on
accounting procedures, reporting dates, the Client’s unsupervised (non-fee paying)
assets held by the qualified custodian, or valuation methodologies of certain securities.
Especially with regard to cost basis, Adviser recommends that Client rely on the
statements of their qualified custodian. If Client ever has a question about an entry on
the Adviser statement, please call Adviser immediately.
Currently, the Adviser maintains relationships with qualified custodians such as
Pershing, LLC and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Adviser has had relationships with
numerous qualified custodians over the years, and will work to accommodate the
Client’s choice of qualified custodian.
Performance Reports
Clients are urged to compare the account statements received directly from their
qualified custodians to the performance report statements provided by Adviser.
Net Worth Statements
Adviser does not provide net worth statements. Adviser is not a financial planner.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Discretionary Authority for Trading
Adviser accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of
Clients subject to an executed Investment Management Agreement. Adviser has the
authority to determine, without obtaining specific Client consent, the securities to be
bought or sold, and the amount of the securities to be bought or sold.
The Client approves the qualified custodian to be used and the commission rates paid
to the qualified custodian (if applicable). Adviser does not receive any portion of the
transaction fees or commissions paid by the Client to the qualified custodian on trades.
Discretionary trading authority facilitates placing trades in Client accounts on the
Client’s behalf so that Adviser may promptly implement the investment policy that the
Client has approved in writing.
Robinson Value Management
20
Clients may place limitations on Adviser’s discretionary authority in certain instances.
For example, if the Client does not wish to invest in a certain security or sector. Any
restrictions on discretionary limitations are discussed at the start of a relationship and
are updated as needed in the Investment Policy Statement.
Limited Power of Attorney
A limited power of attorney is a trading authorization for this purpose. The Client signs a
limited power of attorney so that Adviser may execute the trades in the Client’s
account(s).
UMA and Sub-advisory Relationships
Where Adviser is engaged by a third party to provide management services, including
as the OPS Program, Adviser typically does not have discretion. Adviser provides
recommendations and investment advice regarding the construction and maintenance
of model portfolios and the third-party completes all discretionary, account maintenance
and supervisory functions. Information concerning the description of the services
provided and the sub-advisory fees paid to Adviser are contained in the documents of
those third parties.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
Proxy Votes
If Client decides to retain proxy voting authority, Adviser will not vote Client’s proxies.
For all Clients who elect to have Adviser vote their proxies, all proxies will be voted
using third-party vendors. Proxies will be voted on a best efforts basis and as
recommended by Egan-Jones Proxy Services. All voting records will be retained
electronically by Broadridge Investor Communications, Inc.’s ProxyEdge®. Client may
preview or review proxy voting records by sending a written request to Adviser. Adviser
will respond in writing within three business days of its receipt of a written request.
A copy of Adviser‘s proxy voting policy is available upon request.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Financial Condition
Adviser does not have any financial impairment that would preclude the firm from
meeting its contractual commitments to clients.
A balance sheet is not required to be provided because Adviser does not serve as a
qualified custodian for client funds or securities, and does not require prepayment of
fees of more than twelve hundred dollars ($1,200) per client, and six months or more in
advance.
Robinson Value Management
21
Item 19 – Requirements for State-Registered Advisers
Not applicable.
Item 20 – Business Continuity Plan
Adviser has a Business Continuity Plan in place that provides detailed steps to mitigate
and recover from the loss of office space, communications, services or key people.
Disasters
The Business Continuity Plan covers natural disasters such as snow storms,
hurricanes, tornados, and flooding. The Plan covers man-made disasters such as loss
of electrical power, loss of water pressure, fire, bomb threat, nuclear emergency,
chemical event, biological event, communications outage, railway accident and aircraft
accident.
Adviser does not hold customer funds or securities nor does it perform any type of
clearing function. Therefore, Clients may access their funds and securities at any time
through their qualified custodian and we recommend that they obtain a Business
Continuity Plan (BCP) directly from their qualified custodian.
Alternate Offices
In the event of a significant business disruption (SBD) the firm has established an
alternative business location and maintains back-ups of the network server with all vital
information needed in order to continue its operations.
In such an event, the firm will continue to be available and may be contacted through its
main phone number, 210-490-2545.
Loss of Key Personnel
Robinson Value Management has not signed a Business Continuation Agreement with
another financial advisory firm to support Robinson Value Management in the event of
Charles W. Robinson III’s and Amy Abbey Robinson’s serious disability or death. In the
event of the serious disability or death of one, but not both, of these principals, Clients
would be informed of the circumstances, as well as how the business would or would
not continue, and be encouraged to make whatever changes are needed to serve their
interests. In the event of the serious disability or death of both of these key personnel,
Robinson Value Management would not want to appear to represent that the
management of its client accounts would continue unchanged under the leadership of
another firm. We are investors with a long-term horizon and we do not take custody of
client assets, so while issues of custody would continue to be taken care of by the
Client’s chosen qualified custodian, the Client would have time to make and implement
a decision about where to seek future investment advice.
Robinson Value Management
22
Item 21 – Information Security Program
Information Security
Robinson Value Management maintains an information security program to reduce the
risk that Client’s personal and confidential information may be breached. In the event of
a confirmed, material breach, Adviser will respond promptly in compliance with
applicable regulations to provide notification to affected clients.
Item 22 – Asset Recovery Services
Securities Class Action & Regulatory Settlements
Asset recovery services covering class action lawsuits will be provided on a best efforts’
basis by Goal Global Recoveries Limited as administered by Broadridge Investor
Communications, Inc. Broadridge will automatically file on all class action and Fair Fund
settlement claims for which Client is eligible. If Client is eligible, a settlement claim will
be filed and Client can expect to receive a pro rata portion of any proceeds once the
court approves distribution of the settlement funds. For these services, Broadridge will
receive a 23% contingency fee on the total reimbursements collected from the lawsuits
for class action settlements. Broadridge will not be compensated on reimbursements
from Fair Fund settlements. If Client decides to opt out of this service, Client should
notify Adviser in writing and henceforth will need to file his or her own class action
settlement claim in the event of a class action lawsuit or settlement.

Educational Background and Business Experience
The general standards of education or business experience that Robinson Value
Management requires of those involved in determining or giving investment advice to
Clients includes a graduate degree (masters or doctorate) as well as proper professional
licensing and training. However, all hiring decisions are made on a case-by-case basis at
the general partner’s sole discretion.
Professional Certifications
Employees have earned certifications and credentials that are required to be explained
in further detail.
*CFA Charter:
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter is a globally respected, graduate-level
investment credential established in 1962 and awarded by the CFA Institute — the largest
global association of investment professionals.
There are currently more than 138,000 CFA charter-holders working in 134 countries. To
earn the CFA charter, candidates must: 1) pass three sequential, six-hour examinations;
2) have at least four years of qualified professional investment experience; 3) join CFA
Institute as members; and 4) commit to abide by, and annually reaffirm, their adherence
to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
High Ethical Standards
The CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, enforced
through an active professional conduct program, require CFA charter-holders to:
• Place their clients’ interests ahead of their own
• Maintain independence and objectivity
• Act with integrity
• Maintain and improve their professional competence
• Disclose conflicts of interest and legal matters
Global Recognition
Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult achievement that requires extensive study
(successful candidates report spending an average of 300 hours of study per level).
Earning the CFA charter demonstrates mastery of many of the advanced skills needed
for investment analysis and decision making in today’s quickly evolving global financial
industry. As a result, employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA charter-
holders—often making the charter a prerequisite for employment.
Additionally, regulatory bodies in 30 countries recognize the CFA charter as a proxy for
meeting certain licensing requirements, and more than 125 colleges and universities
around the world have incorporated a majority of the CFA Program curriculum into their
own finance courses.

Comprehensive and Current Knowledge
The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for
investment decision making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every
day in the investment profession. The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency
with a wide range of fundamental and advanced investment topics, including ethical and
professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis, alternative and derivative
investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management, and wealth
planning.
The CFA Program curriculum is updated every year by experts from around the world to
ensure that candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and
investment and wealth management skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of
the profession.
