SGLIA has been an Investment Advisor since 2005. Before 2005, advisory services were provided by SGLIA's affiliated broker-dealer, S.G. Long & Company. SGLIA and S.G. Long & Company are wholly owned by a parent corporation, SGL Financial Services Corp. SG Long Financial Services, Corporation is an employee-owned entity based in Missoula, Montana. The information contained herein is current as of this Brochure's date and is subject to change at SGLIA's discretion. Please retain a copy of this Brochure for your records. SGLIA sponsors a wrap program for its' clients. SGLIA offers two products under our wrap program: SGL Managed Portfolios and Institutional Intelligent Portfolios. For management and advisory services, you will pay SGLIA an annual fee quarterly based on your account's value. SGL Managed Portfolios SGLIA manages seven customizable investment portfolio models: Growth 50, Stewardship, Growth & Income, Total Return Plus, Total Return, Capital Preservation, and Strategic Income. Our model portfolios are available to individuals and organizations. Additionally, each portfolio option has a minimum account requirement listed under Item 5 of this Brochure. SGLIA maintains an in-house research team that primarily analyzes individual securities for purchase within the portfolios. This unique structure enables us to customize the portfolios for special considerations, including tax planning and excluding or including specific stocks or industries. It is important to note that special considerations placed on your account may positively or negatively impact account performance and may cause the account to perform differently than a like account without special considerations. SGL Managed Portfolios focuses on risk-adjusted returns, where they look to achieve the highest possible return while matching your comfort level with risk. SGLIA evaluates companies based on a three-pronged approach: Business – does the company have a competitive advantage or long-term growth drivers? Is the business model proven? Value – can we buy the company at a fair price given its earnings and economic outlook? People – is the company managed well? Are the executives good stewards of your capital? The services offered through SGL Managed Portfolios Program include: • Professional portfolio management • An evaluation of your portfolio, investment strategy, and risk tolerance • Education on investing and SGLIA's investment methodology • Ongoing monitoring of your investment results and account performance • Quarterly reporting on performance and a quarterly market commentary The Stewardship Portfolio is an all-equity portfolio that combines our direct indexing research process with an additional screening process for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The in- house research team relies on a third-party vendor for proprietary research to evaluate companies on ESG criteria to identify investment opportunities that meet our ESG requirements. The in-house research team reviews the third-party ESG screen on a semi-annual basis to identify existing securities that may have fallen below our minimum ESG requirement and identify new investment opportunities. September 26, 2025 Securities can fall below the minimum ESG requirements between the semi-annual pull, and these securities will remain in your portfolio until they are identified in the semi-annual review. Additionally, investing in an ESG portfolio may cause additional tax consequences (i.e., short-term capital gains) that may not occur in strategies that do not utilize an ESG investment strategy. Managed ETF Portfolios SGLIA has designed 10 portfolios compiled of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for individual investors. These portfolios offer a more passive investment approach, where the performance and allocations are reviewed by the in-house research team on a quarterly basis. The more passive management style allows for lower fees and intraday tradability. The Managed ETF Portfolios program is available to individual investors and has a minimum initial investment of $5,000. SGLIA's managed ETF portfolios allow you to choose from 10 diversified portfolios that will fit your risk tolerance, time horizon, and goals. You will work with your financial advisor to complete a questionnaire designed to help determine which account type and portfolio option are appropriate for you. Because of this type of account structure, SGLIA cannot accommodate special considerations (i.e. exclusion or inclusion or specific securities). The services offered through the Managed ETF Portfolios include: • Managed ETF Portfolios designed by SGLIA • Automated Investing • Education on investing and SGLIA's investment methodology • Ongoing monitoring of investment results and performance • Performance reporting and Schwab market commentary are available online There is an ESG overlay option for the Managed ETF Portfolios. SGLIA relies on Schwab's screening process that identifies ETFs that qualify for an ESG portfolio. Some ESG portfolios include fixed income ETFs that are not screened for ESG. The options in our wrap program may not be appropriate for all clients. SGLIA will help you select the program and portfolio it believes to be suitable for a particular client. Assets As of September 26, 2025, we have $391,569,110 under discretionary management. Item 5 FEES AND COMPENSATION Annual fees are calculated and charged quarterly in advance and deducted directly from the account. SGLIA's annual fee consists of the internal management fee, and advisory fee. New accounts are prorated from the time of funding to the end of the first quarter of services. Upon termination, accounts are prorated and refunded for the remainder of the days left in the quarter. Mid-quarter contributions and/or withdrawals in amounts of $25,000 or more will be prorated. Internal management fees are assessed to cover costs of trading, portfolio management services, and other expenses. Management fees for Private Client Portfolios with assets under $5 million are .70%, portfolios between September 26, 2025 $5 million and $7.5 million are .50%, and portfolios with assets above $7.5 million are negotiable. Annual fees for Strategic Income Portfolios are .375%. Annual fees for Non-Profit Portfolios are .50%. Annual fees for Intelligent Institutional Portfolios are .50%. Private Client Portfolios: Designed for clients whose primary objective is growth, total return, or capital preservation. Accounts are actively managed according to the risk profile indicated on their advisory agreement. Annual fees are charged as a percentage of assets under management and are not stratified. Minimum investments vary by model for diversification purposes. We typically require a minimum of $250,000 for Growth & Income, Growth 50, SGL Stewardship, Capital Preservation, Total Return, and Total Return Plus portfolios. Exceptions will be made on a case- by-case basis. Assets Under Management Up to $500K $500K to $1 million $1 million to $1.5 million $1.5 million to $2 million $2 million to $2.5 million $2.5 million to $5 million $5 million to $7.5 million Over $7.5 million Advisory Fee .80% .75% .70% .65% .60% .55% .50% Negotiable For example, if you were to invest $250,000 in the Growth and Income portfolio, your annual fee would consist of the .70% management fee and .80% advisory fee, totaling your annual fee to 1.5% _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Strategic Income Portfolio: Designed for clients with a primary objective of income.

These fees vary based on the selected ETFs in the portfolio. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ GENERAL INFORMATION Limited Negotiability of Advisory Fees: Although SGLIA has established the fee schedules, we retain the discretion to negotiate alternative fees on a client-by-client basis. Client facts, circumstances and needs are considered in determining the fee schedule. These include the complexity of the client, assets to be placed under management, anticipated future additional assets; related accounts; portfolio style, account composition, reports, among other factors. The specific annual fee schedule is identified in the contract between the adviser and each client. We may group certain related client accounts for the purposes of determining the annualized fee. Discounts, not generally available to our advisory clients, may be offered to family members of associated persons of our firm. September 26, 2025 Termination of the Advisory Relationship: A client may terminate their agreement within five days of execution without penalty. After that, the agreement may be terminated at any time by either party. Upon termination, unearned fees will be refunded on a pro-rated basis. The agreement may be canceled for any reason upon receipt of written notice. As disclosed above, certain fees are paid in advance of services provided. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded. In calculating a client’s reimbursement of fees, we will pro rate the reimbursement according to the number of days remaining in the billing period. Mutual Fund Fees: All fees paid to SGLIA for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and/or mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided by our firm which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds and our fees to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the client and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. Additional Fees and Expenses: In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the fees and expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent investment manager effects transactions for the client's account(s). Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices" section (Item 12) of this Form ADV for additional information. Grandfathering of Account Requirements: Pre-existing advisory clients are subject to SGLIA's minimum account requirements and advisory fees in effect at the time the client entered into the advisory relationship. Therefore, our firm's minimum account requirements will differ among clients. ERISA Accounts: SGLIA is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts (IRAs) pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act ("ERISA"), and regulations under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), respectively. As such, our firm is subject to specific duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions, SGLIA may only charge fees for investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our related persons do not receive any commissions or 12b-1 fees, or conversely, investment advice about products for which our firm and/or our related persons receive commissions or 12b-1 fees, however, only when such fees are used to offset SGLIA's advisory fees. Advisory Fees in General: Clients should note that similar advisory services may (or may not) be available from other registered (or unregistered) investment advisers for similar or lower fees. Limited Prepayment of Fees: Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 more than six months in advance of services rendered. Conflicts of Interest: SGLIA pays Schwab on a per transaction basis. Schwab does not charge transaction fees for online stock and ETF trades but will still charge transaction fees on other types of security transactions. This fee structure creates a conflict of interest as the Firm may have an incentive to trade less, resulting in lower costs to SGLIA. Additional fees are charged for additional services by our custodian and are direct expenses to you, the September 26, 2025 customer. Schwab's most recent pricing schedules are available at www.schwab.com/aspricingguide. Investment advisory services are charged an advisory fee as a percentage of total assets. This fee structure may cause an inherent conflict of interest because the more assets in a retail investor's advisory account, the more a retail investor will pay in fees. The Firm and Financial Advisors have an incentive to encourage you to increase assets in your account. All accounts are required to complete a client profile questionnaire which is approved by a supervisor. Additionally, Financial Advisors are trained to consider various factors, including the type and level of service needed. Item 6 PERFORMANCE BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT SGLIA does not charge performance-based fees or participate in side-by-side management. Item 7 TYPES OF CLIENTS SGL Managed Portfolios are available to individuals, trusts, retirement plans, high net-worth individuals, charitable organizations, municipalities, and corporations. The Managed ETF Portfolios program is available to individual investors, including trusts. Item 8 METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS SGLIA offers a variety of diversified portfolios. We utilize asset allocation models that employ a risk- adjusted return methodology to determine appropriate securities based on each customer's individual investment objective and risk tolerance. Our in-house research team combines a macroeconomic analysis with a company-specific review to identify securities that we expect to outperform their peer group and/or the market as a whole. Within each of its composite models, individual portfolios are evaluated on a periodic basis to ensure they are performing in a manner similar to the composite model in which they participate. Disclosure: Investing in securities involves a certain amount of risk of loss that clients should be aware of and be prepared to bear. The inherent risks involved in such an approach include the risk of unexpected or unanticipated events adversely influencing the securities selected by SGLIA, the risk that capital markets may not perform as anticipated, in addition to the risk in analyzing the variables involved in the companies in which we invest. Prior to program enrollment, you are advised and should understand that: Market conditions, interest rates, and other investment-related risks may cause losses in your account. Past performance of investment models is not a guarantee of future results. The value of the assets in your account is subject to a variety of factors, such as the liquidity and volatility of the securities markets. Risks for all forms of analysis. Our securities analysis methods rely on the assumption that the companies whose securities we purchase and sell, the rating agencies that review these securities, and other publicly-available sources of information about these securities, are providing accurate and unbiased data. While we are alert to indications that data may be incorrect, there is always a risk that our analysis may be compromised by inaccurate or misleading information. Risks Relating to Differing Classes of Securities: different classes of securities have different rights as creditors if the issuer files for bankruptcy or reorganization. For example, bondholders' rights generally are more favorable than stockholders' rights in a bankruptcy or reorganization. September 26, 2025 Risks relating to equity securities: investments in equity securities involve many sector-specific and company- specific risks, including market risk, credit risk, foreign currency risk, liquidity risk, and political risk. Risks relating to foreign securities: Investments in foreign securities may involve greater risks than those associated with investments in securities of US issuers. These include risks of adverse changes in foreign economic, political, and regulatory conditions; changes in currency exchange rates and currency controls; differing securities market structures; and higher transaction costs. Exchange rate risk between the US dollar and foreign currencies may cause the value of investments to decline. Investments in emerging markets may have these and other risks, including increased risk of volatility and political instability. Risks relating to bond securities investment in bonds may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, interest rate risk, credit risk, reinvestment risk, default risk, inflation risk, and call risk. In addition, bond prices will fluctuate subject to market conditions. Risks Relating to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investments carry the risk, that under certain market conditions, relative investment performance can deviate from strategies that do not utilize an ESG investment strategy. Item 9 DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION SGLIA does not have any disciplinary actions to report. For more information regarding SGL Investment Advisors (CRD #145167) and it’s supervised persons, please visit www.finra.org/brokercheck. Item 10 OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS SGLIA is a Registered Investment Advisor firm with officers, directors, management, and staff personnel that are associated with its affiliate, S.G. Long & Company. S.G. Long & Company is a dually registered broker-dealer and state-registered investment advisor. Broker-Dealer Services – Many Financial Advisors providing advisory services for SGLIA are also registered representatives of S.G. Long & Company and register in each state where such registration is required. When acting as broker-dealer, registered representatives provide brokerage and related services to clients, including purchases and sales of individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities, and other products. These broker-dealer recommendations and subsequent implementation are separate from SGLIA's advisory services and do not impact Program Fees with SGLIA. Supervised persons receive commissions generated by broker-dealer sales or insurance sales. Fees can be charged up-front when you purchase or can be charged when you sell the investment ("selling concession") or on an ongoing basis for as long as you hold the investment ("trails"). Because your Financial Advisor is paid on a transaction basis, they have a financial incentive to trade more frequently. To mitigate these types of conflicts, our Firm's policies and procedures prohibit volume trading (churning) that is excessive under the circumstances, as well as reports and systems to help identify and mitigate situations where this could be occurring. Affiliate Investment Advisor Services – Many Financial Advisors providing advisory services for SGLIA are also investment advisor representatives of S.G. Long & Company and register in each state where such registration is required. When acting as an investment advisor, investment advisor representatives provide advisory and related services to clients, including financial planning, purchases, and sales of individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other products. These recommendations and subsequent implementation are separate from SGLIA's advisory services and do not impact Program Fees with SGLIA. Supervised persons receive a percentage of the advisory fee September 26, 2025 outlined in their Advisory Master Services Agreement. Because these account types are charged a fee, your Financial Advisor may encourage you to invest through an advisory account. This can cause an inherent conflict of interest in that your financial advisor could have an incentive to recommend an advisory account instead of a brokerage account in order to earn more compensation. Compensation will be earned whether or not trades are made in the account. To mitigate these types of conflicts, Financial Advisors are trained to consider various factors, including expected trade frequency and the type/level of service needed, before recommending an account type to a retail client. Differing Compensation Across Product/Investment Types – SGLIA, SG Long & Company, and our financial professionals both make more money when you buy funds, variable products, advisory services, and other investment or insurance products that pay higher sales charges and similar fees. Because there are differences in fee schedules and product-related expenses, there can be a conflict of interest in recommending different products or services, as it can result in greater compensation. Company Ownership - SGLIA has officers, directors, management, and staff personnel who are associated with its parent corporation, SG Long Financial Services Corp. SG Long Financial Services, Corp is an employee-owned and operated company. Accordingly, we are required to inform our clients that this employee/owner relationship creates an inherent conflict of interest in that the common ownership can benefit some of these individuals. In addition, SGLIA, SG Long & Company, and SG Long Financial Services, Corp share a physical location and administrative services. Payment and Mitigation of Conflicts - We pay our financial professionals a portion of the payments that we receive in connection with the financial professional's client transactions. This split or portion does not change based on the product sold. However, you should understand that both our Firm and our financial professionals receive more compensation for selling certain types of investments and insurance products than others. To help manage conflicts, our Firm has policies and procedures in place and provides resources and training to mitigate these conflicts. We encourage our financial advisors to consider comparable products available and the appropriateness of each product based on the client's goals and profile. Financial Advisors should consider various factors, including expected trade frequency and the type/level of service needed, before recommending an account type to a retail client. All account types are approved by a Supervisor, which can involve a more in-depth review of the recommendations. It should be understood that clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by their investment advisor representative. Schwab Relationship - SGLIA may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with Schwab Advisor Services division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), registered broker-dealer, members of SIPC, to maintain custody of our clients' assets and effect trades in their accounts. The final decision to custody assets with Schwab is at the discretion of our clients, including those accounts under ERISA, sponsor, or IRA rules of regulations, in which case the client is acting as either the plan sponsor or the IRA holder. SGLIA is an independently owned and operated firm and is not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab provides SGLIA with access to its institutional trading and custody services, typically unavailable to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor's clients' assets are maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. September 26, 2025 Schwab's servicers include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses, and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Schwab also makes available to SGLIA other products and services that benefit SGLIA but may not benefit its clients' accounts. These benefits may include national, regional, or SGLIA-specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of SGLIA by Schwab Advisor Services personnel including meals, invitations to sporting events, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to SGLIA other services intended to help SGLIA to manage and further develop its business enterprise. These may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services or pay all or part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to SGLIA. While, as a fiduciary, SGLIA endeavors to act in its clients' best interests, SGLIA's recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part on the benefit to SGLIA of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangement and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may create a potential conflict of interest. We believe, however, that taken in the aggregate, our recommendation of Schwab as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients. Our selection is primarily supported by the scope, quality, and price of Schwab’s services and not Schwab’s services that benefit only us. Item 11 CODE OF ETHICS SGLIA adopted a Code of Ethics reasonably designed to prevent fraud by reinforcing fiduciary principles that govern the conduct of our advisory Firm and its personnel. Our intent is to promote an atmosphere of honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. It is our goal to assure that all employees understand the importance of their responsibilities to the client and to set forth standards for compliance with this responsibility. A copy of the SGLIA Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client upon written request to our Compliance Department at 283 W. Front Street, Suite 302, Missoula, MT 59802. Securities transactions in your SGL Managed Portfolio account may also be transacted in the account of a related party, associated person, and his/her immediate family. This creates a conflict of interest. It is our policy that if transactions occur in a client's account in the same security on the same day as a related party's account, the client will receive the same or a better price. Item 12 BROKERAGE PRACTICES SGLIA does not have the discretionary authority to determine the broker- dealer to be used. Our clients must direct us as to the broker-dealer to be used. However, SGLIA usually advises clients to direct SGLIA to place trades September 26, 2025 through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, and member SIPC, as the qualified custodian. It should be understood that SGLIA is not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage and account and buy and sell securities when we or you instruct them to. Not all brokerage firms recommend transaction execution to an individual broker-dealer. SGLIA has evaluated Schwab and believes that they will provide our clients with a blend of execution services and professionalism that will assist SGLIA in meeting its fiduciary obligations to clients. SGLIA reserves the right to decline acceptance of any client account where the client directs the use of a broker- dealer if SGLIA believes that this choice may hinder its fiduciary duty to the client and/or its ability to service the account. SGLIA reviews Schwab Advisory Services at least annually. This review includes an evaluation and comparison of best execution capabilities and prices. If a client directs SGLIA to place trades through another Broker Dealer or clearing firm, the client will be responsible for all transaction costs related to that accommodation. Our clients should be aware that by directing transactions with another broker-dealer, he/she may not achieve the most favorable execution of transactions and this practice may cost the client more money to execute. SGLIA has discretion over SGL Managed Portfolio accounts. Our in-house research team determines which securities are bought and sold, the amount of such purchases and sales and whether the transactions should be aggregated with those of other clients. As a matter of practice, transaction aggregation is executed in the "average price account" and allocates among its clients when allocating to 50 or more accounts for equity positions and 25 accounts for fixed income. Aggregation in client accounts can and does happen when working in fewer accounts. Transaction aggregation allows our customer's accounts to receive an average price. There is no additional cost to our clients if transactions are not aggregated as clients do not pay commissions. SGLIA has discretion over accounts participating in the Managed ETF Portfolios program. Our in-house research team allocates ETFs and the weighting of the asset class of each portfolio option. Accounts are managed passively based on the set criteria through Schwab’s automated platform. Transactions are aggregated through Schwab’s platform. It should be understood that trading in a Managed ETF Portfolio, Schwab’s platform can treat accounts that fall below the $5,000 minimum balance requirement differently. Item 13 REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS Senior money managers and investment team members typically meet on a weekly basis to review accounts and discuss strategies. Quarterly statements for SGL Managed Portfolios include a commentary on current market condition, statement of assets, performance calculation, asset allocation summary, and benchmark comparisons. All clients will receive a statement from the account custodian no less than quarterly. These accounts are reviewed by the Portfolio Managers and the Investment Team. SGLIA will provide portfolio management clients with a performance report on a quarterly basis as well as account statements and confirmations of transactions. Clients should carefully review and compare these statements to those received from SGLIA Item 14 CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION SGLIA does not seek investment advice or compensate other entities for advisory services to our customers. Financial Advisors with S.G. Long & Company commonly refer customers to SGLIA and further act in the capacity of an ongoing relationship manager. The relationship manager refers the customer and functions as a contact person to assist customers with questions about the services provided by the Investment Advisory firm. The relationship September 26, 2025 managers are registered individuals and receive compensation based on a percentage of the fees collected by SGLIA. In the normal course of business, clients can require services that are outside the scope of the investment services provided by SGLIA (e.g., legal counsel accounting, etc.) and ask their relationship managers for a referral. Relationship Managers can refer clients to third parties, including persons or entities that provide professional services directly to our Firm or may have an account with our Firm. These providers may also refer clients to us when their clients need the services we provide. This may cause a conflict of your interest as the Relationship Manager may refer to third parties that also refer to them (quid pro quo). It is the policy of SGLIA not to receive or pay fees for such referrals. Additionally, Relationship Managers must have a reasonable basis to believe the third party is qualified and will act in the best interest of the client. SGLIA and S.G. Long & Company are under the common ownership of SG Long Financial Services, Corp. The officers, directors, and many of the employees work for both firms in some manner and may receive compensation in some form purely due to the nature of the relationship. Item 15 CUSTODY Customer accounts are typically held by Schwab. SGLIA does not maintain physical custody of client assets. Typically, clients authorize SGLIA to deduct fees from their accounts. Due to the ability of SGLIA to request direct debits for payment of fees, the advisory Firm is considered to have custody from a regulatory standpoint. Schwab maintains actual custody of your assets. You will receive account statements directly from Schwab at least quarterly. They will be sent to the email or postal mailing address you provided to Schwab. You should carefully review those statements promptly when you receive them. We also urge you to compare Schwab’s account statements with the quarterly portfolio reports for SGL Managed portfolios that you receive from us. Item 16 INVESTMENT DISCRETION SGLIA has discretion on all customer accounts participating in its management services. Customers are informed and agree upon the use of discretion as outlined in their account agreement. SGLIA does not accept or manage accounts on a non-discretionary basis. Item 17 VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES As a matter of firm policy and practice, we do not have any authority to and do not vote proxies on behalf of our clients. Clients retain the responsibility for receiving and voting proxies for any and all securities maintained in their portfolios. At your request, we may offer you advice regarding corporate actions and the exercise of your proxy voting rights. In most cases, you will receive proxy materials directly from the account custodian. However, in the event we were to receive any written or electronic proxy materials, the materials would be forwarded directly to you by mail, unless you have authorized the firm to contact you by electronic mail, in which case, we would forward any electronic solicitation to vote proxies. September 26, 2025 Item 18 FINANCIAL INFORMATION We are not required to provide financial information to our clients because we do not: • • • require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 per client more than six months in advance of services rendered; have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair our ability to meet our commitments to you; and, SGLIA has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.

(SGLIA) sponsors a wrap program for its' clients. SGLIA offers two products under our wrap program: SGL Managed Portfolios and Managed ETF Portfolios. For management and advisory services, you will pay SGLIA an annual fee quarterly based on your account's value. Our wrap program allows you to pay a single fee that covers advisory services, trade execution, custody, and other standard brokerage services. The services offered through SGL Managed Portfolios Program include: • Professional portfolio management • An evaluation of your portfolio, investment strategy, and risk tolerance • Education on investing and SGLIA's investment methodology • Ongoing monitoring of your investment results and account performance • Quarterly reporting on performance and a quarterly market commentary The services offered through the Managed ETF Portfolios include: • Managed ETF Portfolios designed by SGLIA • Automated Investing • Ongoing monitoring of investment results and performance • Performance reporting and Schwab market commentary are available online Fees for Portfolio Management Services – (see fee schedule below): Annual fees are calculated and charged quarterly in advance and deducted directly from the account. SGLIA's annual fee consists of the internal management fee and advisory fee. New accounts are prorated from the time of funding to the end of the first quarter of services. Upon termination, accounts are prorated and refunded for the remainder of the days left in the quarter. Mid-quarter contributions and/or withdrawals in amounts of $25,000 for SGLIA Managed Portfolios, and $1,000 for Managed ETF Portfolios or more will be prorated. Internal management fees are assessed to cover costs of trading, portfolio management services, and other expenses.

Annual fees for Strategic Income Portfolios are .375%. Annual fees for Non-Profit Portfolios are .50%. Annual fees for Managed ETF Portfolios are .50%. SGLIA pays Schwab on a per transaction basis. Schwab does not charge transaction fees for online stock and ETF trades but will still charge transaction fees on other types of security transactions. This fee structure creates a conflict of interest as the Firm may have an incentive to trade less, resulting in lower costs to SGLIA. 19 | P a g e Private Client Portfolio: Designed for clients whose primary objective is growth, total return, or capital preservation. Accounts will be actively managed according to the risk profile indicated on their advisory agreement. Annual fees are charged as a percentage of assets under management and are not stratified. Minimum investments vary by model for diversification purposes. We typically require a minimum of $250,000 for Growth & Income, Growth 50, and SGL Stewardship Portfolio, Capital Preservation, Total Return, and Total Return Plus portfolios. Exceptions will be made on a case-by-case basis. Assets Under Management Up to $500K $500K to $1 million $1 million to $1.5 million $1.5 million to $2 million $2 million to $2.5 million $2.5 million to $5 million $5 million to $7.5 million Over $7.5 million Advisory Fee .80% .75% .70% .65% .60% .55% .50% Negotiable For example, if you were to invest $250,000 in the Growth and Income portfolio, your annual fee would consist of the .70% management fee and .80% advisory fee, totaling your annual fee to 1.5% _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Strategic Income Portfolio: Designed for clients with a primary objective of income.

SGLIA pays Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab) on a per transaction basis. Schwab does not charge transaction fees for online stock and ETF trades but will still charge transaction fees on other types of security transactions. This fee structure creates a conflict of interest as the Firm may have an incentive to trade less, resulting in lower costs to SGLIA. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Participation in a wrap program may cost more or less than purchasing securities A. individually, depending on market conditions, trade frequency, and additional advisory services. Clients in this program may incur additional fees not covered. These could include fees charged by broker-dealers other than Schwab for transactions in your account if SGLIA uses Schwab's Prime Brokerage or Trade Away Services. Additional fees could include items such as margin costs, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund company or exchange-traded fund, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, foreign securities taxes or transfer fees, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, regulatory fees, unrelated business income tax, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. SGLIA does not charge its' clients advisor fees based on their 21 | P a g e trading activity. We pay Schwab on a per transaction basis with the exception of equity trades; equity, ETFs, and options transactions no longer incur a cost when trading through Schwab Advisor Center. This fee structure creates a conflict of interest as the Firm may have an incentive to trade less, resulting in lower costs to SGLIA. B. SGLIA compensates other financial advisors for referrals to this wrap program. Persons recommending this program may receive more or less compensation for such recommendations than they would if securities were purchased individually. This could potentially create a financial incentive to recommend this program over other options. Additional fees are charged for additional services by our custodian and are direct expenses to you, the customer. Schwab's most recent pricing schedules are available at www.schwab.com/aspricingguide. ITEM 5: ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS AND TYPES OF CLIENTS SGL Managed Portfolios are available to individuals, trusts, retirement plans, high net-worth individuals, charitable organizations, municipalities, and corporations. The Managed ETF Portfolios program is available to individual investors, including trusts. The products offered under our wrap fee program have minimum account size requirements, please refer to Item 4 ITEM 6: PORTFOLIO MANAGER SELECTION AND EVALUATION Accounts are managed by our Investment Committee, our internal team of experts, based on the model specifically chosen by the client. In addition, the Relationship Managers gather client information to assist the client in selecting an appropriate product. We utilize the time-weighted return method of computing portfolio returns and present returns as a composited strategy. Our third-party portfolio accounting software, Orion Advisor Technology, computes time-weighted portfolio returns. In addition, Orion provides reconciliation and computation services which are verified, both by Orion and by us, as accurate relative to custodial statements provided by Schwab. Our compositing process is conducted in-house on a monthly basis, with account performance reviews carried out by the investment committee. Additional information on our reporting and compositing process is available on request in our complete policies and procedures document. However, SGLIA does not verify or guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the performance information, the data provided by any external source, or compliance with any particular presentation standards, prior to its use with clients or prospective clients. The in-house research team relies on a third-party vendor for proprietary research to evaluate companies on ESG criteria to identify investment opportunities that meet our ESG requirements. 22 | P a g e Some members of our Investment Committee team may also serve as the Relationship Manager and receive a portion of the annual fee. Investment advisory services are charged an advisory fee as a percentage of total assets. This fee structure may cause an inherent conflict of interest because the more assets in a retail investor's advisory account, the more a retail investor will pay in fees. The Firm and Financial Advisors have an incentive to encourage you to increase assets in your account. All accounts are required to complete a client profile questionnaire and are approved by a supervisor. Additionally, Financial Advisors are trained to consider various factors, including the type and level of service needed. ITEM 7: CLIENT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO PORTFOLIO MANAGERS Our portfolio managers rely on the information provided by our clients on the agreement and through personal contact with their Relationship Manager or directly with the client. The ability to effectively service the accounts is dependent on the information provided. ITEM 8: CLIENT CONTACT WITH PORTFOLIO MANAGERS There are no restrictions regarding client contact with portfolio managers or the service team. Portfolio managers are available to meet with clients to discuss their individual portfolios by scheduling an appointment either by telephone or in person. ITEM 9: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SGLIA is a Registered Investment Advisor firm with officers, directors, management, and staff personnel who are associated with its affiliate, S.G. Long & Company. S.G. Long & Company is a dually registered broker-dealer and state-registered investment advisor. Broker-Dealer Services – Many Financial Advisors providing advisory services for SGLIA are also registered representatives of S.G. Long & Company and register in each state where such registration is required. When acting as broker-dealer, registered representatives provide brokerage and related services to clients, including purchases and sales of individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, life insurance policies, annuities, and other products. These broker-dealer recommendations and subsequent implementation are separate from SGLIA's advisory services and do not impact Program Fees with SGLIA. Supervised persons receive commissions generated by broker-dealer sales or insurance sales. Fees can be charged up-front when you purchase or can be charged when you sell the investment ("selling concession") or on an ongoing basis for as long as you hold the investment ("trails"). Because your Financial Advisor is paid on a transaction basis, they have a financial incentive to trade more frequently. To mitigate these types of conflicts, our Firm's policies and procedures prohibit volume trading (churning) that is excessive under the circumstances, as well as reports and systems to help identify and mitigate situations where this could be occurring. Affiliate Investment Advisor Services – Many Financial Advisors providing advisory services for SGLIA are also investment advisor representatives of S.G. Long & Company and register in each state where such registration is required. When acting as an investment advisor, 23 | P a g e investment advisor representatives provide advisory and related services to clients, including financial planning, purchases, and sales of individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other products. These recommendations and subsequent implementation are separate from SGLIA's advisory services and do not impact Program Fees with SGLIA. Supervised persons receive a percentage of the advisory fee generated outlined in their Advisory Master Services Agreement. Because these account types are charged a fee, your Financial Advisor may encourage you to invest through an advisory account. This can cause an inherent conflict of interest in that your financial advisor could have an incentive to recommend an advisory account instead of a brokerage account in order to earn more compensation. Compensation will be earned whether or not trades are made in the account. To mitigate these types of conflicts, Financial Advisors should consider various factors including expected trade frequency and the type/level of service needed, before recommending an account type to a retail client. Differing Compensation Across Product/Investment Types – SGLIA, SG Long & Company, and our financial professionals both make more money when you buy funds, variable products, advisory services, and other investment or insurance products that pay higher sales charges and similar fees. Because there are differences in fee schedules and product-related expenses, there can be a conflict of interest in recommending different products or services, as it can result in greater compensation. Payment and Mitigation of Conflicts - We pay our financial professionals a portion of the payments that we receive in connection with the financial professional's client transactions. This split or portion does not change based on the product sold. However, you should understand that both our Firm and our financial professionals receive more compensation for selling certain types of investments and insurance products than others. To help manage conflicts, our Firm has policies and procedures in place and provides resources and training to mitigate these conflicts. We encourage our financial advisors to consider comparable products available and the appropriateness of each product based on the client's goals and profile. Financial Advisors should consider various factors, including expected trade frequency and the type/level of service needed, before recommending an account type to a retail client. All account types are approved by a General Principal, which can involve a more in-depth review of the recommendations. It should be understood that clients are under no obligation to implement any recommendations made by their investment advisor representative. Client Referrals and Other Compensation – Financial Advisors with S.G. Long & Company commonly refer customers to SGLIA and further act in the capacity of an ongoing relationship manager. The relationship manager refers the customer and functions as a contact person to assist customers with questions about the services provided by the Investment Advisory firm. The relationship managers are registered individuals and receive compensation based on a percentage of the fees collected by SGLIA 24 | P a g e In the normal course of business, clients can require services that are outside the scope of the investment services provided by SGLIA (e.g., legal counsel accounting, etc.) and ask their relationship managers for a referral. Relationship managers can refer clients to third parties, including persons or entities that provide professional services directly to our Firm or may have an account with our Firm. These providers may also refer clients to us when their clients need the services we provide. It is the policy of SGLIA not to receive or pay fees for such referrals. It should be understood that clients are under no obligation to engage the services of any such referrals. Although we have experience with these service providers, SGLIA has not performed due diligence, nor is it responsible for the services provided by these third parties. The relationships developed between the relationship managers and third parties may result in a conflict of interest to refer business to each other (quid pro quo). It is SGLIA's policy that referrals are to be made if the relationship manager has a reasonable basis to believe the third-party is qualified and will act in the client's best interest. SGLIA does not have any disciplinary actions to report. For more information regarding SGL Investment Advisors (CRD #145167) and it’s supervised persons, please visit www.finra.org/brokercheck. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations SGLIA is a Registered Investment Advisor firm with officers, directors, management, and staff personnel who are associated with its affiliate, S.G. Long & Company. S.G. Long & Company is a registered broker-dealer and state-registered investment advisor. Company Ownership - SGLIA has officers, directors, management, and staff personnel who are associated with its parent corporation, SG Long Financial Services Corp. SG Long Financial Services, Corp is an employee-owned and operated company. Accordingly, we are required to inform our clients that this employee/owner relationship creates an inherent conflict of interest in that the common ownership can benefit some of these individuals. In addition, SGLIA, SG Long & Company, and SG Long Financial Services, Corp share a physical location and administrative services. Schwab Relationship - SGLIA may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with Schwab Advisor Services division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), registered broker- dealers, and members of SIPC, to maintain custody of our clients' assets and effect trades in their accounts. The final decision to custody assets with Schwab is at the discretion of our clients, including those accounts under ERISA, sponsor, or IRA rules of regulations, in which case the client is acting as either the plan sponsor or the IRA holder. SGLIA is an independently owned and operated firm and is not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab provides SGLIA with access to its institutional trading and custody services, typically unavailable to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor's clients' assets are maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. 25 | P a g e Schwab's servicers include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses, and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Schwab also makes available to SGLIA other products and services that benefit SGLIA but may not benefit its clients' accounts. These benefits may include national, regional, or SGLIA- specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of SGLIA by Schwab Advisor Services personnel including meals, invitations to sporting events, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to SGLIA other services intended to help SGLIA to manage and further develop its business enterprise. These may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay vendors for these types of services or pay all or part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to SGLIA. While, as a fiduciary, SGLIA endeavors to act in its clients' best interests, SGLIA's recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part on the benefit to SGLIA of the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and other arrangements and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may create a potential conflict of interest. Code of Ethics - SGL Investment Advisors, Inc. (SGLIA) adopted a Code of Ethics reasonably designed to prevent fraud by reinforcing fiduciary principles that govern the conduct of our advisory Firm and its personnel. Our intent is to promote an atmosphere of honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships. It is our goal to assure that all employees understand the importance of their responsibilities to the client and to set forth standards for compliance with this responsibility. A copy of the SGLIA Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client upon written request to our Compliance Department at 283 W. Front Street, Suite 302, Missoula, MT 59802. Review of Accounts - Senior money managers and investment team members typically meet on a weekly basis to review accounts and discuss strategies. Quarterly statements for SGL Managed Portfolios include a commentary on current market condition, statement of assets, performance calculation, asset allocation summary, and benchmark comparisons. All clients will receive a statement from the account custodian no less than quarterly. Clients should carefully review and compare these statements to those received from SGL Investment Advisors, Inc. You may send inquiries to Operations/Compliance, 283 W. Front Street, Suite 302, Missoula, MT 59802.

SGLIA does not have any required disclosures to report. The Firm has no financial 26 | P a g e commitments that would impair our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to our clients and have not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 27 | P a g e
