Firm Information Salus Financial Advisors, LLC (“SFA” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). SFA was organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of the State of Colorado in December 2023. SFA is owned and operated by Richard Schultenover (Managing Member and Chief Compliance Officer) and Jesse Karich (Managing Member). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by SFA. B. Advisory Services Offered SFA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, businesses and retirement plans (each referred to as a “Client”). The Advisor serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential conflicts of interest. SFA’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading. Wealth Management Services SFA provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management, financial planning and related advisory services. SFA works closely with each Client on an ongoing basis. SFA works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals, objectives, risk tolerance and financial situation in order to design and implement an investment strategy. SFA will construct investment portfolios through the Advisor’s internal investment management and/or the use of unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms. Investment Management Services – SFA will construct a portfolio consisting primarily of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual equity securities, and fixed income securities. The Advisor may also utilize options, alternative investments, and other types of investments, as appropriate, to meet the needs of each Client. The Advisor may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy, tax- related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client. The Advisor’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. SFA will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor. SFA evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. SFA may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. SFA may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. SFA may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. At no time will SFA accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within their designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the Client investment advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 4 Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor. Use of Independent Managers – SFA in certain situations will recommend that a Client utilize one or more unaffiliated investment managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio. In such instances, the Client may be required to authorize and enter into an advisory agreement with the Independent Manager[s] that defines the terms in which the Independent Manager[s] will provide investment management and related services. The Advisor may also assist in the development of the initial policy recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due diligence over the selected Independent Managers to ensure the Independent Manager’s strategies and target allocations remain aligned with the Client’s investment objectives and overall best interests. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement with unaffiliated investment manager[s] or investment platform[s], will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV 2A (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures). Financial Planning Services – Financial planning services are offered as part of its overall wealth management services. Financial planning services may also be offered as a stand-alone service pursuant to a financial planning agreement. Financial planning services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance analysis, estate planning and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Implementation of financial planning recommendations is entirely at the Client’s discretion. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the transaction through the Advisor, its Advisory Persons or its affiliated entities. SFA will work with Clients to implement recommendations and referrals to other professionals may be made where appropriate to meet the Client’s needs. Clients are under no obligation to implement SFA’s recommendations through the Advisor. Third-Party Access Platforms – The Advisor may use third-party platforms to access, aggregate, or manage certain client accounts that are held away from the Advisor’s primary custodians, such as employer-sponsored retirement plans or other externally maintained accounts. These platforms allow clients to grant the Advisor authorized access to account information and, where permitted, limited account management capabilities. Access to such accounts is provided solely at the client’s direction and subject to the permissions granted by the client through the third-party platform. Recommendations to have assets managed through a third-party platform pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. Assets managed through a third-party platform increases the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to have the Advisor manage held-away assets by the Advisor.

The Advisor’s retirement plan advisory services are designed to assist the Plan Sponsor in meeting its fiduciary obligations to the Plan and its Plan Participants. Due to the differences in size, complexity and overall needs of the Plan, each engagement is customized based on the requirements set forth by the Plan Sponsor. The Advisor’s services may include: • Analysis of Retirement Platforms and Vendors Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) Monitoring • • Plan Participant Education • Performance Reporting • Ongoing Investment Recommendation and Assistance • ERISA 404(c) Assistance These services are provided by SFA serving in the capacity as a fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) pursuant to ERISA Rule 3(21). In accordance with ERISA Section 408(b)(2), the Plan Sponsor is provided with a written description of SFA’s fiduciary status, the specific services to be rendered and all direct and indirect compensation the Advisor reasonably expects under the engagement. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging SFA to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: • Establishing an Investment Strategy – SFA, in connection with the Client, will develop an investment strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and destinations. • Portfolio Construction – SFA will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. • Investment Management and Supervision – SFA will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. SFA will review Client portfolios at least annually. • Financial Planning – SFA provides initial and ongoing planning services to assist Clients in meeting the financial goals. D. Wrap Fee Programs SFA does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by SFA. E. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2025, SFA manages $262,614,043 in Client assets, $225,949,835 of which are managed on a discretionary basis and $36,664,208 on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more written agreements with the Advisor. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 6 A. Fees for Advisory Services Wealth Management Services Wealth management fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the investment advisory agreement. Wealth management fees are based the closing market value of the account[s] at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investments into Private Funds are based on the initial invested capital amount. The Advisor will recalculate the billable value upon any additional deposits into existing Private Funds. Adjustments will be reflected in the investment advisor fee calculations for the next quarterly billing period. Wealth management fees range from 0.50% to 1.25% annually based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be managed, reporting requirements, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee. The wealth management fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by SFA will be independently valued by the Custodian. SFA will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing. The Client may make additions or withdrawals from the account[s] at any time, subject to the Advisor’s right to terminate an account or the overall relationship. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that the Advisor reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a Client’s account[s]. Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to SFA, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, withdrawals from the Client's account[s] may impede the Advisor's ability to implement the investment strategy designed for the Client. Clients are advised that when such securities are liquidated, they may be subject to securities transaction fees, short-term redemption fees, and/or tax ramifications. The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Use of Independent Managers As noted in Item 4, the Advisor will implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its wealth management fee as described above. Independent Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will reduce the fee with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The terms of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable agreement with the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will not exceed 1.50% annually. Financial Planning Services SFA may include financial planning services as part of the overall wealth management fee or as a stand-alone service. SFA offers financial planning services either on a fixed project fee or an ongoing annual retainer. Fixed fee engagements typically range from $2,500 to $5,000. Ongoing financial planning engagements may be offered at a fixed annual fee ranging from $1,800 to $6,000 billed monthly. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided, the experience of the Advisory Person delivering the services, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or costs will be provided prior to establishing the advisory relationship. Third-Party Access Platforms For assets managed through a third-party platform, the Client is not charged any additional platform fees. The Advisor bears the cost of the platform in order to service these Client assets. Advisory fees apply to assets accessed and managed through the platform as part of the Client’s assets under management, as disclosed above. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 7 Retirement Plan Advisory Services Fees for retirement plan advisory services are either charged an asset-based fee that is typically billed at an annual rate up to 0.75% or a fixed annual fee. Retirement plan advisory fees are billed quarterly in advance pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement. Fees are negotiable depending on the size and complexity of the Plan. Fees in the first quarter of the engagement are prorated from the effective date of the Agreement to the end of the first quarter. B. Fee Billing Wealth Management Services Wealth management fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] the start of each quarterly period. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (Annual Rate divided by 4) to the market value of the account[s] under management at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement from the Custodian at least quarterly reflecting deduction of the wealth management fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by SFA to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Use of Independent Managers For Client account[s] implemented through Independent Managers, the Client’s overall fees will include SFA’s wealth management fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees charged by the Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Managers or the Advisor may assume responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s account[s]. Financial Planning Services Financial planning fees for project-based engagements may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s]. Financial planning fees for ongoing engagements are billed monthly, in advance of each month or thirty-day period from the effective date of the agreement. Retirement Plan Advisory Services Retirement plan advisory fees may be deducted from the assets of the Plan for each billing period, based on the market values in each Plan Participant’s account at the end of the prior period. Fees may be directly invoiced to the Plan Sponsor upon request. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than SFA, in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all securities execution and custody fees charged by the Custodian, if applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds and other types of investments. They may also charge for certain services, e.g. wire transfers. See Brokerage Practices in Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. In addition, all fees paid to SFA for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of SFA, but would not receive the services provided by SFA which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 8 both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by SFA to fully understand the total fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Wealth Management Services SFA is compensated for its services in advance of each quarterly period. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid advisory fees. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Use of Independent Managers In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with an Independent Manager, the terms for termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and that Independent Manager. SFA will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate. Financial Planning Services For standalone financial planning services, SFA may require advance payment as described above. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Based on the nature of the financial planning services provided, the Client will be invoiced the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor or the period from the effective termination date to the conclusion of the billing period, when determining refund calculations. The Client will receive a pro-rata refund of any unearned, prepaid planning fees. The Client’s financial planning agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. Retirement Plan Advisory Services SFA is compensated for its retirement plan advisory services in advance of each quarter in which services are rendered. Either party may request to terminate the retirement plan advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the other party. The Client shall be responsible for retirement plan advisory fees up to and including the effective date of termination. Upon termination, the Advisor will promptly refund any unearned, prepaid fees. The Client’s retirement plan services agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities SFA does not buy or sell securities and does not receive any compensation for securities transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management SFA does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by SFA are as described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. SFA does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 9 Item 7 – Types of Clients SFA offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, businesses and retirement plans. SFA generally does not impose a minimum size for establishing a relationship. However, certain investment strategies and/or Independent Managers may have a minimum to effectively implement a strategy. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. The methods of analysis, tools and strategies utilized by SFA may include any of the following: Fundamental Analysis involves evaluating a security using real data such as company revenues, earnings, return on equity, and profit margins to determine underlying value and potential growth. Fundamental analysis may involve interest rate risk, market risk, business risk, and financial risk. Cyclical Analysis involves analyzing the cycles of the market. Cyclical analysis may involve inflation risk, market risk, and currency risk. Behavioral Finance proposes psychology-based theories to explain stock market anomalies. It assumes the information structure and the characteristics of market participants systematically influence the investment decisions of individuals as well as the market outcomes. Asset Allocation is an investment strategy used to balance risk and return according to a client’s investment objective, risk tolerance and investment horizon. It is used to manage portfolio volatility by investment in different asset classes. Diversification is a risk management strategy used to reduce the volatility of a portfolio by investing in different asset classes, different market sectors, and/or different companies. B. Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. SFA will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment approach: Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 10 Market Risks The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall financial markets. ETF Risks The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs has a large bid-ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later. Alternative Investment Risks The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments. Please see Item 10 for additional information related to the private funds recommended by the Advisor. Options Risks Options allow investors to buy or sell a security at a contracted “strike” price (not necessarily the current market price) at or within a specific period of time. Clients may pay or collect a premium for buying or selling an option. Investors transact in options to either hedge (limit) losses in an attempt to reduce risk or to speculate on the performance of the underlying securities. Options transactions contain a number of inherent risks, including the partial or total loss of principal in the event that the value of the underlying security or index does not increase/decrease to the level of the respective strike price. Structured Products Structured notes are not bank deposits and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. The terms and risks of each structured note vary materially depending on the nature and volatility of the referenced asset, the creditworthiness of the issuer, and the maturity of the instrument, among other factors. The general risks associated with this type of investment include, but are not limited to, non-payment risk (payment of interest and return of principal may be reduced, in whole or in part, due to underperformance of the referenced asset); counter-party risk (for reasons such as bankruptcy, the issuer of the structured note may fail to pay all or a portion of the principal and interest due on the structured note); underperformance risk (the structured note may underperform alternative allocations to traditional bonds, the referenced asset, or a combination of such investments, depending on market conditions). Structured notes are significantly riskier than conventional debt instruments. There is a risk of loss of some or all of the principal at maturity. The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor. Item 9 – Disciplinary Information There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving SFA or its owners. SFA values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor and Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov by searching by the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 329882. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 11 Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Use of Independent Managers As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may recommend the use of one or more Independent Managers for the Client’s investment portfolio. In such instances, the Advisor will only receive its wealth management fee as noted in Item 5.A. above. The Independent Manager may assume responsibility for calculating the overall fee and remitting the fee to the Advisor. The Advisor does not share in the fees of any Independent Manager and does not have any economic incentive to recommend one Independent Manager over another. Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics SFA has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client. This Code applies to all persons associated with SFA (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to the Client. SFA and its Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of SFA’s Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (612) 747-9420. B. Personal Trading with Material Interest SFA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. SFA does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. SFA does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients SFA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is mitigated by SFA requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”). The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client While SFA allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterward. At no time will SFA, or any Supervised Person of SFA, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] SFA does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize SFA to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, SFA does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 12 Where SFA does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may recommend the Custodian[s] to Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended Custodian by the Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a custodian not recommended by SFA. However, if the recommended Custodian is not utilized the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide to the Client comparable to other Clients. SFA may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, its reputation, and/or location of the Custodian’s offices. SFA will generally recommend that Clients establish their account[s] at Fidelity Clearing & Custody Solutions and related entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc. (collectively “Fidelity”) or SEI Private Trust Company, a subsidiary of SEI Investments Company (“SEI”). Fidelity and SEI are FINRA-registered broker-dealers and members SIPC. Fidelity or SEI will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian”. SFA maintains an institutional relationship with both Fidelity and SEI whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Fidelity and SEI. Please see Item 14 below. The following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with the broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and other services. SFA does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker- dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from Fidelity. Please see Item 14. 2. Brokerage Referrals - SFA does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing an account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where SFA will place trades within the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective account[s], unless separately instructed by the Client. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). In selecting the Custodian, SFA will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the Custodian. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results considering such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. SFA will execute its transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. SFA may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisory Persons of SFA and periodically by the CCO. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more or less frequently depending on the needs of the Client. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 13 B. Causes for Reviews In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify SFA if changes occur in the Client’s personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events. C. Review Reports The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance. Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation A. Compensation Received by SFA SFA does not receive commissions from product sponsors or broker-dealers, except as detailed in Item 10 above. SFA may refer Clients to various unaffiliated professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners) to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, SFA may receive non-compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties. Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform - Fidelity SFA has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. Access to the Fidelity platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. The following benefits are also received from Fidelity: financing services, receipt of duplicate Client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional participants; access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to Client accounts; and access to an electronic communication network for Client order entry and account information. Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform - SEI SFA has established an institutional relationship with SEI (“Custodian”) to assist the Advisor in managing Client account[s]. Access to the SEI platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders investment management services to Clients that maintain assets at SEI. The software and related systems support may benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. B. Compensation for Client Referrals The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for Client referrals. Salus Financial Advisors, LLC Colorado Springs, CO 80921 Mailing Address: 4600 South Syracuse Street, Denver CO 80237 Phone: (612) 747-9420 | www.salusfinancialadvisors.com Page 14 Item 15 – Custody SFA is authorized to deduct its fees from the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Client must place all assets with a “qualified custodian”. The Client is required to engage the Custodian to retain all funds and securities and direct SFA to utilize that Custodian for security transactions in the account[s]. The Client should review statements provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. If the Client gives SFA authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor have adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client’s instructions. Item 16 – Investment Discretion SFA generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by SFA. Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to such authority. All discretionary trades made by SFA will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives and goals. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities SFA does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. If the Client elects to direct proxies to the Advisor, such election does not result in the authority for the Advisor to vote such proxies. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting. Item 18 – Financial Information Neither SFA, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of SFA to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither SFA, nor any of its Advisory Persons, has been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise. SFA is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure Brochure as the Advisor does not collect fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six months or more in advance.
