costs.

Schorn Wealth, LLC (IARD#304104)

Investment Management Fees:
Schorn Wealth’s investment management fee schedule (“Advisory Fees”) for accounts managed by
Schorn Wealth is based on a percentage of assets (generally net of any debit balances) and is set forth
below. The Advisory Fees represent the highest fee that may be charged absent special circumstances:
Advisory Assets
0 - $250,000
$250,001 - $750,000
$750,001 - $1,000,000
All assets in excess of $1 million
Annual Fee
1.75%
1.50%
1.25%
1.00%
Schorn Wealth’s Advisory Fees shall also be prorated and paid quarterly, in advance, based upon the
market value of the assets on the last business day of the previous quarter. Schorn Wealth’s actual
fees may be negotiated, and a client may pay more or less than similar clients depending on the
particular circumstances of the client, which may include considerations related to size of the client’s
account, additional and/or differing levels of service or as negotiated. Clients that negotiate fees may
end up paying a higher fee than that set forth in the fee schedules above as a result of fluctuations in
the client’s assets under management and/or account performance.
Fees Charged by Financial Institutions
Schorn Wealth generally recommends that clients utilize the brokerage and clearing services of Charles
Schwab & Co. Inc., member FINRA/SIPC (“Schwab Advisor Services”), for investment management
accounts.
Schorn Wealth may only implement its investment management recommendations after the client has
arranged for and furnished Schorn Wealth with all information and authorization regarding accounts
with appropriate financial institutions. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by the Financial
Institutions and other third parties such as fees charged by Independent Managers , custodial fees,
charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or ETF in the account, which are disclosed in the fund’s
prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd- lot
differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on
brokerage accounts and securities transactions.
Additionally, clients may incur brokerage commissions and transaction fees. Such charges, fees and
commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Schorn Wealth’s fee. Schorn Wealth’s Agreement and
the separate agreement with any Financial Institutions may authorize Schorn Wealth or Independent
Managers to debit the client’s account for the amount of Schorn Wealth’s fee and to directly remit that
management fee to Schorn Wealth or the Independent Managers. Any Financial Institutions
recommended by Schorn Wealth have agreed to send a statement to the client, at least quarterly,
indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of management fees paid
directly to Schorn Wealth. Alternatively, clients may elect to have Schorn Wealth send an invoice for
payment.

Fees for Management During Partial Quarters of Service
For the initial period of investment management services, the fees are calculated on a pro rata basis.
The Agreement between Schorn Wealth and the client will continue in effect until terminated by either
party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Schorn Wealth’s fees are prorated through the date of
termination and any remaining balance is charged or refunded to the client, as appropriate. Clients
may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to Schorn Wealth’s
right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that Schorn Wealth
reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities
into a client’s account.
Clients may withdraw account assets on notice to Schorn Wealth, subject to the usual and customary
securities settlement procedures. However, Schorn Wealth designs its portfolios as long-term
investments, and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment
objectives. Schorn Wealth may consult with its clients about the options and ramifications of
transferring securities. However, clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated,
they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e., contingent deferred
sales charge) and/or tax ramifications.
Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Schorn Wealth does not charge a performance-based fee.
Item 7. Types of Clients
Schorn Wealth provides its services to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations, and business entities.
Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Schorn Wealth’s primary methods of analysis are fundamental and technical:
Fundamental analysis involves the fundamental financial condition and competitive position of a
Company or asset class. Schorn Wealth may analyze the financial condition, capabilities of
management, earnings, new products, and services, as well as the company’s or asset class’ markets
and position amongst its competitors in order to determine the recommendations made to clients.
The primary risk in using fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a
company or asset class may be good, market conditions may negatively impact the security.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in
determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts
to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the
fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical
patterns may not help to predict such patterns in the future. Even if the pattern will eventually reoccur,
there is no guarantee that Schorn Wealth will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
Investment Strategies
Schorn Wealth customizes its asset management strategies based on individual needs and concerns of
their clients. While Schorn Wealth offers each of the services described in Item 4 (above), the main
focuses of the firm are its diversified portfolio management. Schorn Wealth selects securities for the
portfolio based on asset allocation decisions and what suits the client’s needs and goals most
appropriately. Specifically, Schorn Wealth tries to determine the mix of stock, bonds, money markets,
and other investments that it feels offers the best combination of potential return and risk. At any
given time, Schorn Wealth may allocate all, a portion, or none of the portfolio’s assets to various areas
Schorn Wealth, LLC (IARD#304104)
March 2026
of the stock, bonds, or alternative investments.
Risks of Loss
Market Risks
The profitability of a significant portion of Schorn Wealth’s recommendations may depend to a great
extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price movements of stocks and bonds. There can be
no assurance that Schorn Wealth will be able to predict those price movements accurately.
Management Through Similarly Managed Accounts
For certain clients, Schorn Wealth may manage portfolios by allocating portfolio assets among various
securities on a discretionary basis using one or more of its proprietary investment strategies
(collectively referred to as “investment strategy”). In so doing, Schorn Wealth buys, sells, exchanges
and/or transfers securities based upon the investment strategy. Schorn Wealth’s management using the
investment strategy complies with the requirements of Rule 3a- 4 of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. Rule 3a-4 provides similarly managed accounts, such as the investment strategy, with a safe
harbor from the definition of an investment company. Securities in the investment strategy are usually
exchanged and/or transferred without regard to a client’s individual tax ramifications. Certain
investment opportunities that become available to Schorn Wealth’s clients may be limited. As further
discussed in response to Item 12B (below), Schorn Wealth allocates investment opportunities among
its clients on a fair and equitable basis.
General Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves the risk of loss. Clients should be prepared to bear such loss.
Item 9. Disciplinary Information
Schorn Wealth is required to disclose the facts of any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a
client’s evaluation of its advisory business or the integrity of management. Schorn Wealth does not
have any required disclosures for this Item.
Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Schorn Wealth is required to disclose any relationship or arrangement that is material to its advisory
business or to its clients with certain related persons. Schorn Wealth has described such relationships
and arrangements below.
Thomas Schorn and Valerie Flores are Certified Public Accountants and provide tax preparation and
accounting services. They may provide these services to Schorn Wealth’s clients and will be
compensated separately and apart from Schorn Wealth’s advisory fees.
Item 11. Code of Ethics
Schorn Wealth and persons associated with Schorn Wealth (“Associated Persons”) are permitted to
buy or sell securities that it also recommends to clients consistent with Schorn Wealth’s policies and
procedures. Schorn Wealth has adopted a code of ethics that sets forth the standards of conduct
expected of its associated persons and requires compliance with applicable securities laws (“Code of
Ethics”). In accordance with Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers
Act”), its Code of Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent the unlawful use of
material non-public information by Schorn Wealth or any of its associated persons. The Code of Ethics
also requires that certain of Schorn Wealth’s personnel (called “Access Persons”) report their personal
securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of certain investments such as initial
public offerings and limited offerings.
Schorn Wealth, LLC (IARD#304104)
March 2026
Unless specifically permitted in Schorn Wealth’s Code of Ethics, none of Schorn Wealth’s Access Persons
may affect for themselves or for their immediate family (i.e., spouse, minor children, and adults living
in the same household as the Access Person) any transactions in a security which is being actively
purchased or sold or is being considered as such on behalf of Schorn Wealth’s clients. When Schorn
Wealth is purchasing or considering for purchase any security on behalf of a client, no Access Person
may affect a transaction in that security prior to the completion of the purchase or until a decision has
been made not to purchase such security. Similarly, when Schorn Wealth is selling or considering the
sale of any security on behalf of a client, no Access Person may affect a transaction in that security prior
to the completion of the sale or until a decision has been made not to sell such security.
Clients and prospective clients may contact Schorn Wealth to request a copy of its Code of Ethics.
Item 12. Brokerage Practices
As discussed above, in Item 5, Schorn Wealth generally recommends that clients utilize the brokerage
and clearing services of Schwab Advisor Services. Factors that Schorn Wealth considers in
recommending Schwab Advisor Services or any other broker-dealer to clients include their respective
financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research, and service. Schwab Advisor Services enables
Schorn Wealth to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other securities at
nominal transaction charges. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged may be higher or
lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions.
The commissions paid by Schorn Wealth’s clients comply with Schorn Wealth’s duty to obtain “best
execution.” Clients may pay commissions that are higher than other qualified Financial Institutions might
charge to affect the same transaction where Schorn Wealth determines that the commissions are
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best
execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction
represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a Financial
Institution’s services, including among others, the value of research provided, execution capability,
commission rates, and responsiveness. Schorn Wealth seeks competitive rates but may not necessarily
obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions.
Schorn Wealth periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its
recommendation of Schwab Advisor Services in light of its duty to obtain best execution. The client may
direct Schorn Wealth in writing to use a particular Financial Institution to execute some or all transactions
for the client. In that case, the client will negotiate terms and arrangements for the account with that
Financial Institution, and Schorn Wealth will not seek better execution services or prices from other
Financial Institutions or be able to “batch” client transactions for execution through other Financial
Institutions with orders for other accounts managed by Schorn Wealth. As a result, the client may pay
higher commissions or other transaction costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices,
on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Subject to its duty of best execution,
Schorn Wealth may decline a client’s request to direct brokerage if, in Schorn Wealth’s sole discretion,
such directed brokerage arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties or violate
restrictions imposed by other broker-dealers (as further discussed below).
Transactions for each client generally will be affected independently unless Schorn Wealth decides to
purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. Schorn Wealth
may (but is not obligated to) combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate
more favorable commission rates, or to allocate equitably among Schorn Wealth’s clients.
To the extent that Schorn Wealth determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of
securities, including securities in which Schorn Wealth’s Supervised Persons may invest, Schorn Wealth
Schorn Wealth, LLC (IARD#304104)
March 2026
generally does so in accordance with applicable rules promulgated under the Advisers Act and no-
action guidance provided by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Schorn Wealth does not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of the
aggregation. In the event that Schorn Wealth determines that a prorated allocation is not appropriate
under the particular circumstances, the allocation will be made based upon other relevant factors,
which may include: (i) when only a small percentage of the order is executed, shares may be allocated
to the account with the smallest order or the smallest position or to an account that is out of line with
respect to security or sector weightings relative to other portfolios, with similar mandates; (ii)
allocations may be given to one account when one account has limitations in its investment guidelines
which prohibit it from purchasing other securities which are expected to produce similar investment
results and can be purchased by other accounts; (iii) if an account reaches an investment guideline
limit and cannot participate in an allocation, shares may be reallocated to other accounts (this may be
due to unforeseen changes in an account’s assets after an order is placed); (iv) with respect to sale
allocations, allocations may be given to accounts low in cash; (v) in cases when a pro rata allocation
of a potential execution would result in a de minimis allocation in one or more accounts, Schorn Wealth
may exclude the account(s) from the allocation; the transactions may be executed on a pro rata basis
among the remaining accounts; or (vi) in cases where a small proportion of an order is executed in all
accounts, shares may be allocated to one or more accounts on a random basis. Consistent with
obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions may be directed to certain broker- dealers in return
for investment research products and/or services that assist Schorn Wealth in its investment decision-
making process. Such research generally will be used to service all of Schorn Wealth’s clients, but
brokerage commissions paid by one client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing
that client’s portfolio. The receipt of investment research products and/or services as well as the
allocation of the benefit of such investment research products and/or services poses a conflict of
interest because Schorn Wealth does not have to produce or pay for the products or services.
Support Provided by Financial Institutions
Schorn Wealth may receive from Schwab Advisor Services without cost to Schorn Wealth, computer
software and related systems support, which allow Schorn Wealth to better monitor client accounts.
Schorn Wealth may receive the software and related support without cost because Schorn Wealth
renders investment management services to clients that maintain assets with these custodians. The
software and related systems support may benefit Schorn Wealth, but not its clients directly. In fulfilling
its duties to its clients, Schorn Wealth endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first.
Clients should be aware, however, that Schorn Wealth’s influence Schorn Wealth’s choice of broker-
dealer over another broker-dealer that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services.
Additionally, Schorn Wealth may receive the following benefits from its custodians through their
respective investment adviser divisions: receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled
duplicate statements; access to a trading desk that exclusively services its investment adviser
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
13. Review of Accounts
For those clients to whom Schorn Wealth provides wealth management services, Schorn Wealth
monitors those portfolios as part of an ongoing process while regular account reviews are conducted
on at least an annual basis. Such reviews are conducted by one of Schorn Wealth’s investment adviser
representatives. All investment advisory clients are encouraged to discuss their needs, goals, and
objectives with Schorn Wealth and to keep Schorn Wealth informed of any changes thereto. Schorn
Wealth contacts ongoing investment advisory clients at least annually to review its previous services
and/or recommendations and to discuss the impact resulting from any changes in the client’s financial
Schorn Wealth, LLC (IARD#304104)
March 2026
situation and/or investment objectives. Unless otherwise agreed upon, clients are provided with
transaction confirmation notices and regular summary account statements directly from the broker-
dealer or custodian for the client accounts.
Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Schorn Wealth does not have any relationship or arrangement where it receives an economic benefit
from a third party (non-client) for providing advisory services. Schorn Wealth does not have a referral
arrangement in which it pays compensation to a third party for client referrals.
Item 15. Custody
Schorn Wealth does not maintain physical custody of client assets. Schorn Wealth primarily engages
several qualified, nationally recognized SEC-registered broker-dealers to custody and safe keep client
assets. Schorn Wealth’s Agreement and/or the separate agreement with any Financial Institution may
authorize Schorn Wealth through such Financial Institution to debit the client’s account for the amount
of Schorn Wealth’s fee and to directly remit that management fee to Schorn Wealth in accordance
with applicable custody rules. The Financial Institutions recommended by Schorn Wealth have agreed
to send a statement to the client, at least quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account.
Schorn Wealth affects third-party asset transfers in client accounts using a Standing Letter of
Authorization (“SLOA”). Pursuant to the SEC No-Action Letter, Schorn Wealth is deemed to have
Custody over these accounts. Accordingly, Schorn Wealth has instituted procedures and controls such
that it can comply with the seven representations noted in the SEC No-Action letter and avoid the
annual surprise audit requirement. Additionally, since many of the seven representations involve the
qualified custodian’s operations, Schorn Wealth is in close collaboration to ensure compliance with
the SEC guidance.
Item 16. Investment Discretion
Schorn Wealth generally is granted the authority to exercise discretion on behalf of its clients. Schorn
Wealth is considered to exercise investment discretion over a client’s account if it can affect
transactions for the client without first having to seek the client’s consent. Schorn Wealth is given this
authority through a power-of-attorney included in the agreement between Schorn Wealth and the
client. Clients may request a limitation on this authority (such as certain securities not to be bought or
sold).
Item 17. Voting Client Securities
Schorn Wealth does not vote proxies for clients. With respect to shareholder class action litigation and
similar matters, Schorn Wealth generally will not make any filings in connection with any shareholder
class action lawsuits involving securities currently or previously held in clients’ accounts but will
forward these notices to clients when received. Schorn Wealth recommends that its clients promptly
review such materials, as they identify important deadlines and may require action on the client’s part.
Schorn Wealth will not be required to notify third party custodians or clients who utilize third party
custodians of shareholder class action lawsuits and similar matters.
Item 18. Financial Information
Schorn Wealth does not require or solicit the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six months or
more in advance. In addition, Schorn Wealth is required to disclose any financial condition that is
reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Schorn Wealth has no
disclosures pursuant to this Item.
