Advisory Business SWMP offers a variety of advisory services, which include financial planning, consulting, and investment management services. Prior to SWMP rendering any of the foregoing advisory services, clients are required to enter into one or more written agreements with SWMP setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory relationship (the “Advisory Agreement”). SWMP filed for registration in July 2018 and is wholly owned by Elizabeth Emr and Gregory Emr. As of December 31, 2025, SWMP had $454,218,720 in assets under management, of which $451,750,145 was managed on a discretionary basis and of which $2,468,575 was managed on a non-discretionary basis. While this brochure generally describes the business of SWMP, certain sections also discuss the activities of its Supervised Persons, which refer to the Firm’s officers, partners, directors (or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), employees or any other person who provides investment advice on SWMP’s behalf and is subject to the Firm’s supervision or control. Financial Planning and Consulting Services SWMP offers clients a broad range of financial planning and consulting services, which includes any or all of the following functions: • Business Planning • Investment Consulting • Cash Flow Analysis • Protection Planning (Insurance) • Education Planning • Retirement Projections and Planning • Trust and Estate Planning • Tax Analysis While each of these services is available on a stand-alone basis, certain of them can also be rendered in conjunction with investment portfolio management as part of a comprehensive wealth management engagement (described in more detail below). In performing these services, SWMP is not required to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.,) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. SWMP recommends certain clients engage the Firm for additional related services, its Supervised Persons in their individual capacities as insurance agents or registered representatives of a broker-dealer and/or other professionals to implement its recommendations. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists for the Firm to recommend that clients engage SWMP or its affiliates to provide (or continue to provide) additional services for compensation, including investment management services. Clients retain absolute discretion over all decisions regarding implementation and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by SWMP under a financial planning or consulting engagement. Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify the Firm of any Page | 4 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure change in their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising SWMP’s recommendations and/or services. Wealth Management Services SWMP provides certain clients with wealth management services which includes a broad range of comprehensive financial planning and consulting services as well as discretionary and non-discretionary management of investment portfolios. SWMP primarily allocates client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual debt and equity securities, structured notes and certificates of deposit (“CDs”) and independent investment managers (“Independent Managers”) in accordance with their stated investment objectives. Where appropriate, the Firm also provides advice about any type of legacy position or other investment held in client portfolios, but clients should not assume that these assets are being continuously monitored or otherwise advised on by the SWMP unless specifically agreed upon. Clients can engage SWMP to manage and/or advise on certain investment products that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). In these situations, SWMP directs or recommends the allocation of client assets among the various investment options available with the product. These assets are generally maintained at the underwriting insurance company or the custodian designated by the product’s provider. SWMP tailors its advisory services to meet the needs of its individual clients and seeks to ensure, on a continuous basis, that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. SWMP consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity constraints and other related factors relevant to the management of their portfolios. Clients are advised to promptly notify SWMP if there are changes in their financial situation or if they wish to place any limitations on the management of their portfolios. Clients can impose reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of their accounts if SWMP determines, in its sole discretion, the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly burdensome to the Firm’s management efforts. Use of Independent Managers As mentioned above, SWMP selects certain Independent Managers to actively manage a portion of its clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an Independent Manager may be set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent Manager. In addition to this brochure, clients may also receive the written disclosure documents of the respective Independent Managers engaged to manage their assets. Page | 5 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure SWMP evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers, which includes the Independent Managers’ public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Independent Managers themselves and other third-party analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible, the Firm seeks to assess the Independent Managers’ investment strategies, past performance and risk results in relation to its clients’ individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. SWMP also takes into consideration each Independent Manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing and research capabilities, among other factors. SWMP continues to provide services relative to the discretionary selection of the Independent Managers. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of those accounts being managed by Independent Managers. SWMP seeks to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. Sponsor and Manager of Wrap Program SWMP provides investment management services as the sponsor and manager of the Signature Wealth Management Partners Wrap Fee Program (the “Wrap Program”), a wrap fee program (i.e., an arrangement where certain brokerage commissions and transaction costs are absorbed by the Firm). Accounts managed through the Wrap Program are done so in substantially the same manner as those managed under a non- wrap arrangement. Participants in the Wrap Program may pay a higher or lower aggregate fee than if investment management and brokerage services are purchased separately. Additional information about the Wrap Program is available in SWMP’s Wrap Brochure, which appears as Part 2A Appendix 1 of the Firm’s Form ADV (the “Wrap Brochure”). The Firm provides the services through the Wrap Program as a convenience since it believes its clients prefer to not be charged commissions. The Firm does not anticipate engaging in transactions that result in significant transaction charges and does not factor them into its investment decisions. The Firm would charge the same fee to clients whether in the Wrap Program or not. Therefore, the Firm believes that the Wrap Program relationship is in the best interest of its clients. If clients have questions about the brokerage expenses associated with their account, they can ask their primary Firm representative. Item 5. Fees and Compensation SWMP offers services on a fee basis, which includes fixed fees, as well as fees based upon assets under management. Additionally, certain of the Firm’s Supervised Persons, in their individual capacities, offers securities brokerage services and/or insurance products under a separate commission-based arrangement. For investment management fees associated with participation in the Wrap Program, please see the Wrap Brochure. Page | 6 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure Financial Planning and Consulting Fees SWMP charges a fixed fee for providing financial planning and consulting services under a stand-alone engagement. These fees are negotiable, but range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending upon the scope and complexity of the services and the professional rendering the financial planning and/or the consulting services. If the client engages the Firm for additional investment advisory services, SWMP may offset all or a portion of its fees for those services based upon the amount paid for the financial planning and/or consulting services. The terms and conditions of the financial planning and/or consulting engagement are set forth in the Advisory Agreement and SWMP requires one-half of the fee (estimated hourly or fixed) payable upon execution of the Advisory Agreement. The outstanding balance is due upon delivery of the financial plan or completion of the agreed upon services. The Firm does not, however, take receipt of $1,200 or more in prepaid fees in excess of six months in advance of services rendered. Wealth Management Fees SWMP offers wealth management services for an annual fee based on the amount of assets under the Firm’s management. This management fee varies in accordance with the following fee schedule: PORTFOLIO VALUE BASE FEE Up to $499,999 $500,000 - $1,499,999 $1,500,000 - $2,999,999 $3,000,000 - $4,999,999 $5,000,000 - $7,999,999 $8,000,000 - $9,999,999 $10,000,000 - $11,999,999 $12,000,000 - $14,999,999 $15,000,000 - $17,999,999 Above $18,000,000 1.25% 1.00% 0.90% 0.80% 0.65% 0.50% 0.46% 0.43% 0.40% 0.38% Alternatively, the Firm can be engaged to provide the wealth management services on a fixed fee basis for certain clients, including those with less anticipated transactions and/or those with certain types of holding such as fixed income, structured notes and certificates of deposit. Any fixed fee would be negotiated and based upon the anticipated services and assets under management. The annual fee is prorated and charged monthly, in advance, based upon the market value of the assets being managed by SWMP on the last day of the previous month. If assets are deposited into or withdrawn from an account after the inception of a billing period, the fee payable with respect to such assets is adjusted to reflect the interim change in portfolio Page | 7 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure value. For the initial period of an engagement, the fee is calculated on a pro rata basis. In the event the advisory agreement is terminated, the fee for the final billing period is prorated through the effective date of the termination and the outstanding or unearned portion of the fee is charged or refunded to the client, as appropriate. The Firm includes cash in a client’s account in determining the valuation for billing purposes. The Firm may, in its sole discretion, not include cash in determining the fee, especially where a client has a high percentage of cash for reasons other than the Firm's investment management decision. Additionally, for asset management services the Firm provides with respect to certain client holdings (e.g., held-away assets, accommodation accounts, alternative investments, etc.), SWMP may negotiate a fee rate that differs from the range set forth above. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists for the Firm to recommend that clients engage SWMP for additional services for compensation, including rolling over retirement accounts or moving other assets to the Firm’s management. Clients retain absolute discretion over all decisions regarding engaging the Firm and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations. Fee Discretion SWMP may, in its sole discretion, negotiate to charge a lesser fee based upon certain criteria, such as anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing/legacy client relationship, account retention and pro bono activities. Additional Fees and Expenses In addition to the advisory fees paid to SWMP, clients also incur certain charges imposed by other third parties, such as broker-dealers, custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial institutions (collectively “Financial Institutions”). These additional charges include securities brokerage commissions, transaction fees, custodial fees, fees attributable to alternative assets, fees charged by the Independent Managers, margin costs, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or ETF in a client’s account, as 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, ADR fees that are charged by a custodian to a client to cover administrative or other costs associated with the ongoing management of ADR programs, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. The Firm’s brokerage practices are described at length in Item 12, below. Direct Fee Debit Clients provide SWMP and/or certain Independent Managers with the authority to directly debit their accounts for payment of the investment advisory fees. The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified Page | 8 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts paid to SWMP. Account Additions and Withdrawals Clients can make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to SWMP’s right to terminate an account. Additions can be in cash or securities provided that the Firm reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or declines to accept particular securities into a client’s account. Clients can withdraw account assets on notice to SWMP, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, the Firm designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. SWMP may consult with its clients about the options and implications of transferring securities. Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, short-term redemption fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g., contingent deferred sales charges) and/or tax ramifications. Commissions and Sales Charges for Recommendations of Securities Clients can engage certain persons associated with SWMP (but not the Firm directly) to render securities brokerage services under a separate commission-based arrangement. Clients are under no obligation to engage such persons and may choose brokers or agents not affiliated with SWMP. Under this arrangement, the Firm’s Supervised Persons, in their individual capacities as registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments, Inc. (“PKS”), may provide securities brokerage services and implement securities transactions under a separate commission based arrangement. Supervised Persons are entitled to a portion of the brokerage commissions paid to PKS, as well as a share of any ongoing distribution or service (trail) fees from the sale of mutual funds. SWMP may also recommend no- load or load-waived funds, where no sales charges are assessed. Prior to effecting any transactions, clients are required to enter into a separate account agreement with PKS. A conflict of interest exists to the extent that a Supervised Person of SWMP recommends the purchase or sale of securities through a brokerage relationship where that Supervised Persons receives commissions or other additional compensation as a result of that recommendation (the “Brokerage Relationship”). The Firm has procedures in place to ensure that any recommendations made by such Supervised Persons to engage in the Brokerage Relationship are in the best interest of that client. Because the Supervised Persons may receive compensation in connection with the sale of mutual funds in the Brokerage Relationship, a conflict of interest exists as such Supervised Persons, may have an incentive to recommend more expensive mutual fund share classes to clients where such Supervised Persons earn more compensation with respect to the sale of such mutual fund share classes. Clients should understand that the investments made in the Brokerage Relationship are not receiving advisory services from the Firm. Therefore, the Firm does not Page | 9 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure have a fiduciary duty over the Brokerage Relationship recommendations. For certain accounts covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and such others that SWMP, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, SWMP provide its investment advisory services to certain clients on a fee- offset basis. In this scenario, SWMP offsets its fees by an amount equal to the aggregate commissions and 12b-1 fees earned by the Firm’s Supervised Persons in their individual capacities as registered representatives of PKS. Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management SWMP does not provide any services for a performance-based fee (i.e., a fee based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s assets). Item 7. Types of Clients SWMP offers services to individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, corporations and business entities. Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis SWMP utilizes a combination of fundamental, technical and cyclical methods of analysis. Fundamental analysis involves an evaluation of the fundamental financial condition and competitive position of a particular fund or issuer. For SWMP, this process typically involves an analysis of an issuer’s management team, investment strategies, style drift, past performance, reputation and financial strength in relation to the asset class concentrations and risk exposures of the Firm’s model asset allocations. A substantial risk in relying upon fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good, evolving market conditions may negatively impact the security. Technical analysis involves the examination of past market data rather than specific issuer information in determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of mathematical based indicators and charts, such as moving averages and price correlations, to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. A substantial risk in relying upon technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict Page | 10 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that SWMP will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the assessment of market conditions at a macro (entire market or economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than focusing on the overall fundamental analysis of the health of the particular company that SWMP is recommending. The risks with cyclical analysis are similar to those of technical analysis. Investment Strategies SWMP manages client assets through customized and model based investment portfolio management utilizing mutual funds, ETF's, individual stocks and bonds, and structured notes and CDs. The Firm has developed approximately five risk based strategies in which underlying asset class exposures are systematically evaluated utilizing fundamental research and cyclical trends. The five models can be defined as: i) Income with Capital Preservation, ii) Income with Moderate Growth, iii) Growth and Income Growth, iv) Growth and v) Aggressive Growth. A combination of fundamental research and technical analysis is utilized in the manager or individual security selection process. Portfolios are systematically re-balanced. Risk of Loss The following list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved with respect to the Firm’s investment management activities. Clients should consult with their legal, tax, and other advisors before engaging the Firm to provide investment management services on their behalf. Market Risks Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal, and all investors should be guided accordingly. The profitability of a significant portion of SWMP’s recommendations and/or investment decisions may depend to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price movements of stocks, bonds and other asset classes. In addition, investments may be adversely affected by financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. There can be no assurance that SWMP will be able to predict these price movements accurately or capitalize on any such assumptions. Volatility Risks The prices and values of investments can be highly volatile, and are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of the financial markets, the financial condition of the issuers of such assets, changing supply and demand relationships, and programs and policies of governments. Page | 11 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure Cash Management Risks The Firm may invest some of a client’s assets temporarily in money market funds or other similar types of investments, during which time an advisory account may be prevented from achieving its investment objective. Equity-Related Securities and Instruments The Firm may take long positions in common stocks of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers traded on national securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. The value of equity securities varies in response to many factors. These factors include, without limitation, factors specific to an issuer and factors specific to the industry in which the issuer participates. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments, and the stock prices of such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, equity securities are subject to stock risk, which is the risk that stock prices historically rise and fall in periodic cycles. U.S. and non-U.S. stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. In addition, investments in small-capitalization, midcapitalization and financially distressed companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face greater business risks. Fixed Income Securities Fixed income securities are subject to the risk of the issuer’s or a guarantor’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations and to price volatility. Currency Risks An advisory account that holds investments denominated in currencies other than the currency in which the advisory account is denominated may be adversely affected by the volatility of currency exchange rates. Interest Rate Risks Interest rates may fluctuate significantly, causing price volatility with respect to securities or instruments held by clients. Mutual Funds and ETFs An investment in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Mutual fund and ETF shareholders are necessarily subject to the risks stemming from the individual issuers of the fund’s underlying portfolio securities. Such shareholders are also liable for taxes on any fund-level capital gains, as mutual funds and ETFs are required by law to distribute capital gains in the event they sell securities for a profit that cannot be offset by a corresponding loss. Page | 12 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure Shares of mutual funds are generally distributed and redeemed on an ongoing basis by the fund itself or a broker acting on its behalf. The trading price at which a share is transacted is equal to a fund’s stated daily per share net asset value (“NAV”), plus any shareholders fees (e.g., sales loads, purchase fees, redemption fees). The per share NAV of a mutual fund is calculated at the end of each business day, although the actual NAV fluctuates with intraday changes to the market value of the fund’s holdings. The trading prices of a mutual fund’s shares may differ significantly from the NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the mutual fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to actual NAV. Shares of ETFs are listed on securities exchanges and transacted at negotiated prices in the secondary market. Generally, ETF shares trade at or near their most recent NAV, which is generally calculated at least once daily for indexed based ETFs and potentially more frequently for actively managed ETFs. However, certain inefficiencies may cause the shares to trade at a premium or discount to their pro rata NAV. There is also no guarantee that an active secondary market for such shares will develop or continue to exist. Generally, an ETF only redeems shares when aggregated as creation units (usually 20,000 shares or more). Therefore, if a liquid secondary market ceases to exist for shares of a particular ETF, a shareholder may have no way to dispose of such shares. Use of Independent Managers As stated above, SWMP selects certain Independent Managers to manage a portion of its clients’ assets. In these situations, SWMP continues to conduct ongoing due diligence of such managers, but such recommendations rely to a great extent on the Independent Managers’ ability to successfully implement their investment strategies. In addition, SWMP does not have the ability to supervise the Independent Managers on a day-to-day basis. Item 9. Disciplinary Information SWMP has not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s evaluation of its advisory business or the integrity of its management. Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations This item requires investment advisers to disclose certain financial industry activities and affiliations. Page | 13 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure Registered Representatives of a Broker-Dealer Certain of the Firm’s Supervised Persons are registered representatives of PKS and provide clients with securities brokerage services under a separate commission-based arrangement. This arrangement is described at length in Item 5. Licensed Insurance Agents A number of the Firm’s Supervised Persons are licensed insurance agents and offer certain insurance products on a fully-disclosed commissionable basis. A conflict of interest exists to the extent that SWMP recommends the purchase of insurance products where its Supervised Persons are entitled to insurance commissions or other additional compensation. The Firm has procedures in place whereby it seeks to ensure that all recommendations are made in its clients’ best interest regardless of any such affiliations. Related Certified Public Accounting Firm SWMP does not render accounting services to clients. In the event a client requires accounting services, the Firm may recommend a certified public accountant. At times, the Firm recommends the services of the certified public accounting firms of Botwinick & Company, L.L.C. (“Botwinick”). These services are rendered independent of SWMP and pursuant to a separate agreement between the client and the accounting firm. One or more of the Firm’s Supervised Persons solicit business for the Firm and are also accountants with Botwinick and receive a portion of Botwinick’s fees. There exists a conflict of interest to the extent that the Firm recommends the accounting services of CPA Firms and Botwinick recommend the services of the Firm. Item 11. Code of Ethics SWMP has adopted a code of ethics in compliance with applicable securities laws (“Code of Ethics”) that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its Supervised Persons. SWMP’s Code of Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent certain unlawful practices such as the use of material non- public information by the Firm or any of its Supervised Persons and the trading by the same of securities ahead of clients in order to take advantage of pending orders. The Code of Ethics also requires certain of SWMP’s personnel to report their personal securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of certain investments (e.g., initial public offerings, limited offerings). However, the Firm’s Supervised Persons are permitted to buy or sell securities that it also recommends to clients if done in a fair and equitable manner that is consistent with the Firm’s policies and procedures. This Code of Ethics has been established recognizing that some securities trade in sufficiently Page | 14 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure broad markets to permit transactions by certain personnel to be completed without any appreciable impact on the markets of such securities. Therefore, under limited circumstances, exceptions may be made to the policies stated below. When the Firm is engaging in or considering a transaction in any security on behalf of a client, no Supervised Person with access to this information may knowingly effect for themselves or for their immediate family (i.e., spouse, minor children and adults living in the same household) a transaction in that security unless: • the transaction has been completed; • the transaction for the Supervised Person is completed as part of a batch trade with clients; or • a decision has been made not to engage in the transaction for the client. These requirements are not applicable to: (i) direct obligations of the Government of the United States; (ii) money market instruments, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and other high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements; (iii) shares issued by mutual funds or money market funds; and (iv) shares issued by unit investment trusts that are invested exclusively in one or more mutual funds. Clients and prospective clients may contact SWMP to request a copy of its Code of Ethics. Item 12. Brokerage Practices Recommendation of Broker-Dealers for Client Transactions SWMP recommends that clients utilize the custody, brokerage and clearing services of Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. through its Schwab Advisor Services division (“Schwab”) for investment management accounts. The final decision to custody assets with Schwab is at the discretion of the client, including those accounts under ERISA or IRA rules and regulations, in which case the client is acting as either the plan sponsor or IRA accountholder. SWMP is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab provides SWMP with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to retail investors. Factors which SWMP considers in recommending Schwab or any other broker-dealer to clients include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research and service. Schwab enables the Firm to obtain many mutual funds without transaction charges and other securities at nominal transaction charges. Schwab has also agreed to reimburse clients for exit fees associated with moving accounts to Schwab. The reimbursement is only available up to a certain amount for all of the Firm’s clients over a Page | 15 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure twelve month period. Fees are reimbursed on a first-come-first-served basis so that no clients are favored. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Schwab may be higher or lower than those charged by other Financial Institutions. The commissions paid by SWMP’s clients to Schwab outside of the Program comply with the Firm’s duty to obtain “best execution.” Clients may pay commissions that are higher than another qualified Financial Institution might charge to effect the same transaction where SWMP 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. SWMP seeks competitive rates but may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions. Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions are directed to certain broker-dealers in return for investment research products and/or services which assist SWMP in its investment decision- making process. Such research will be used to service all of the Firm’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 SWMP does not have to produce or pay for the products or services. SWMP periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its recommendation of Financial Institutions in light of its duty to obtain best execution. Software and Support Provided by Financial Institutions SWMP receives without cost from Schwab administrative support, computer software, related systems support, as well as other third party support as further described below (together "Support") which allow SWMP to better monitor client accounts maintained at Schwab and otherwise conduct its business. SWMP receives the Support without cost because the Firm renders investment management services to clients that maintain assets at Schwab. The Support is not provided in connection with securities transactions of clients (i.e., not “soft dollars”). The Support benefits SWMP, but not its clients directly. Clients should be aware that SWMP’s receipt of economic benefits such as the Support from a broker-dealer creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Firm’s choice of broker-dealer over another that does not furnish similar software, systems support or services, especially because the support is contingent upon clients placing a certain level(s) of assets at Schwab. In fulfilling its duties to its clients, SWMP endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first and has determined that the recommendation of Schwab is in the best interest of clients and satisfies the Firm's duty to seek best execution. Page | 16 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure Specifically, SWMP receives the following benefits from Schwab: i) receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; ii) access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional traders; iii) access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts; and iv) access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account information. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as the Firm has a certain amount of clients’ assets maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services 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. In addition, the Firm receives funds to be used toward qualifying third-party service providers for research, marketing, compliance, technology and software platforms and services. These funds are available upon hitting specific thresholds of new assets added to Schwab during an initial twelve month period. For client accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transaction-related or asset- based fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts. Schwab also makes available to the Firm other products and services that benefit the Firm but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or Firm specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of SWMP by Schwab personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist SWMP in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of the Firm's fees from its clients’ accounts, and assist with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of the Firm’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. Schwab also makes available to SWMP other services intended to help the Firm manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services 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 rendered to the Firm by independent third parties. Schwab may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third- Page | 17 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure party providing these services to the Firm. While, as a fiduciary, SWMP endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, the Firm's recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part on the benefits received and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which creates a potential conflict of interest. Brokerage for Client Referrals SWMP does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker-dealers, whether the Firm receives client referrals from the Financial Institutions or other third party. Directed Brokerage The client may direct SWMP 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 the Firm 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 SWMP (as described above). As a result, the client may pay higher commissions or other transaction costs, greater spreads or may receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account than would otherwise be the case. Subject to its duty of best execution, SWMP may decline a client’s request to direct brokerage if, in the Firm’s sole discretion, such directed brokerage arrangements would result in additional operational difficulties. Commissions or Sales Charges for Recommendations of Securities As discussed above, certain Supervised Persons in their respective individual capacities are registered representatives of PKS. These Supervised Persons are subject to FINRA Rule 3040 which restricts registered representatives from conducting securities transactions away from their broker-dealer unless PKS provides written consent. Therefore, clients are advised that certain Supervised Persons are restricted to conducting securities transactions through PKS if they have not secured written consent from PKS to execute securities transactions though a different broker-dealer. Absent such written consent or separation from PKS, these Supervised Persons are prohibited from executing securities transactions through any broker-dealer other than PKS under its internal supervisory policies. The Firm is cognizant of its duty to obtain best execution and has implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed in such pursuit. Trade Aggregation Transactions for each client will be effected independently, unless SWMP decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. SWMP may (but is not obligated to) combine or “batch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favorable commission rates or Page | 18 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure to allocate equitably among the Firm’s clients’ differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might not have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will be averaged as to price and allocated among SWMP’s clients pro rata to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client on any given day. To the extent that the Firm determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities, including securities in which SWMP’s Supervised Persons may invest, the Firm 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. SWMP does not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of the aggregation. In the event that the Firm determines that a prorated allocation is not appropriate under the particular circumstances, the allocation will be made based upon other relevant factors, which 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, the Firm 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. Trade Error Practices From time-to-time the Firm can make an error in submitting a trade order. When this occurs, the Firm can place a correcting trade with the broker-dealer which has custody of the account. If an investment gain results from the correcting trade, the gain will remain in the client’s account unless the same error involved other client account(s) that should have received the gain, it is not permissible for the client to retain the gain, or the Firm confers with the client and they decide to forego the gain (e.g., due to tax reasons). If the gain does not remain in the account and Schwab is the custodian, Schwab will donate the amount of any gain $100 and over to charity. If a loss occurs greater than $100, the Firm will pay for the loss. Schwab will maintain the loss or gain (if such gain is not retained in the client’s account) if it is under $100 to minimize and offset its administrative time and expense. Generally, if related trade errors result in both gains and losses in the client’s account, they may be netted. Page | 19 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure Item 13. Review of Accounts Account Reviews SWMP implements a continuous investment management process to ensure client portfolios align with their financial objectives. Portfolios and accounts are monitored regularly to evaluate performance, manage risk exposure, and maintain adherence to investment goals. The Firm conducts monthly investment meetings to assess and refine its investment models, focusing on asset allocation strategies, manager selection, and ongoing due diligence. Client accounts undergo systematic reviews, with rebalancing performed as needed—at least annually—to preserve strategic allocation targets. To enhance oversight, SWMP utilizes advanced portfolio monitoring software that continuously tracks asset allocation deviations, ensuring portfolios remain aligned with investment strategies and client objectives.. Account Statements and Reports Clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular summary account statements directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied. From time-to-time or as otherwise requested, clients may also receive written or electronic reports from SWMP and/or an outside service provider, which contain certain account and/or market-related information, such as an inventory of account holdings or account performance. Clients should compare the account statements they receive from their custodian with any documents or reports they receive from SWMP or an outside service provider. Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation Client Referrals In the event a client is introduced to SWMP by either an unaffiliated or an affiliated solicitor, the Firm may pay that solicitor a referral fee in accordance with applicable securities laws. Unless otherwise disclosed, any such referral fee is paid solely from SWMP’s investment management fee and does not result in any additional charge to the client. If the client is introduced to the Firm by an unaffiliated solicitor, the client will receive a solicitor’s disclosure statement containing the terms and conditions of the solicitation arrangement and any conflicts of interest. Any affiliated solicitor of SWMP is required to disclose the nature of his or her relationship to prospective clients at the time of the solicitation. Page | 20 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure Other Compensation The Firm receives economic benefits from Schwab. The benefits, conflicts of interest and how they are addressed are discussed above in response to Item 12. Item 15. Custody The Advisory Agreement and/or the separate agreement with any Financial Institution authorize SWMP and/or the Independent Managers to debit client accounts for payment of the Firm’s fees and to directly remit that those funds to the Firm in accordance with applicable custody rules. The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts paid to SWMP. In addition, as discussed in Item 13, SWMP will also send, or otherwise make available, periodic supplemental reports to clients. Clients should carefully review the statements sent directly by the Financial Institutions and compare them to those received from SWMP. Standing Letters of Authorization SWMP also has custody due to clients giving the Firm limited power of attorney in a standing letter of authorization (“SLOA”) to disburse funds to one or more third parties as specifically designated by the client. In such circumstances, the Firm will implement the steps in the SEC’s no-action letter on February 21, 2017 which includes (in summary): i) client will provide instruction for the SLOA to the custodian; ii) client will authorize the Firm to direct transfers to the specific third party; iii) the custodian will perform appropriate verification of the instruction and provide a transfer of funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer; iv) the client will have the ability to terminate or change the instruction; v) the Firm will have no authority or ability to designate or change the identity or any information about the third party; vi) the Firm will keep records showing that the third party is not a related party of the Firm or located at the same address as the Firm; and vii) the custodian will send the client an initial and annual notice confirming the SLOA instructions Item 16. Investment Discretion SWMP is given the authority to exercise discretion on behalf of clients. SWMP is considered to exercise investment discretion over a client’s account if it can effect and/or direct transactions in client accounts without first seeking their consent. SWMP is given this authority through a power-of-attorney included in the agreement between SWMP and the client. Clients may request a limitation on this authority (such as certain securities not to be bought or sold). SWMP takes discretion over the following activities: • The securities to be purchased or sold; Page | 21 © MarketCounsel 2026 Disclosure Brochure • The amount of securities to be purchased or sold; • When transactions are made; and • The Independent Managers to be hired or fired. Item 17. Voting Client Securities SWMP does not accept the authority to vote a client’s securities (i.e., proxies) on their behalf. Clients receive proxies directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied and may contact the Firm at the contact information on the cover of this brochure with questions about any such issuer solicitations. Item 18. Financial Information SWMP is not required to disclose any financial information due to the following: • The Firm does not require or solicit the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six months or more in advance of services rendered; • The Firm does not have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients; and • The Firm has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.

Advisory Business The Signature Wealth Management Partners Wrap Program (the “Program”) is an investment advisory program sponsored by SWMP. In addition to the Program, the Firm offers a variety of advisory services, which include financial planning, consulting, and investment management services under different arrangements than those described herein. Prior to SWMP rendering any of the foregoing advisory services, clients are required to enter into one or more written agreements with SWMP setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory relationship (the “Advisory Agreement”). SWMP filed for registration in July 2018 and is wholly owned by Elizabeth Emr and Gregory Emr. As of December 31, 2025, SWMP had $454,218,720 in assets under management, of which $451,750,145 was managed on a discretionary basis and of which $2,468,575 was managed on a non-discretionary basis. While this brochure generally describes the business of SWMP, certain sections also discuss the activities of its Supervised Persons, which refer to the Firm’s officers, partners, directors (or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), employees or any other person who provides investment advice on SWMP’s behalf and is subject to the Firm’s supervision or control. Description of the Program The Program is offered as a wrap fee program, which provides clients with the ability to trade in certain investment products without incurring separate brokerage commissions or transaction charges. A wrap fee program is considered any arrangement under which clients receive investment advisory services (which may include portfolio management or advice concerning the selection of other investment advisers) and the execution of client transactions for a specified fee or fees not based upon transactions in their accounts. Clients must also open a new securities brokerage account and complete a new account agreement with Schwab Advisor ServicesTM (“Schwab”), or another broker-dealer that SWMP approves under the Program (collectively “Financial Institutions”). At the onset of the Program, clients complete an investor profile describing their individual investment objectives, liquidity and cash flow needs, time horizon and risk tolerance, as well as any other factors pertinent to their specific financial situations. After an analysis of the relevant information, SWMP assists its clients in developing an appropriate strategy for managing their assets. Clients’ investment portfolios are generally managed on a discretionary basis by either SWMP’s investment adviser representatives or an independent investment manager (collectively “Independent Managers”), as selected by SWMP. SWMP and/or the Independent Managers generally allocate clients’ assets among the various investment products available under the Program, as described further in Item 6 (below). Page | 4 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure Financial Planning and Consulting Services SWMP offers clients a broad range of financial planning and consulting services, which includes any or all of the following functions: • Business Planning • Investment Consulting • Cash Flow Analysis • Protection Planning (Insurance) • Education Planning • Retirement Projections and Planning • Trust and Estate Planning • Tax Analysis While each of these services is available on a stand-alone basis, certain of them can also be rendered in conjunction with investment portfolio management as part of a comprehensive wealth management engagement (described in more detail below). In performing these services, SWMP is not required to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.,) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. SWMP recommends certain clients engage the Firm for additional related services, its Supervised Persons in their individual capacities as insurance agents or registered representatives of a broker-dealer and/or other professionals to implement its recommendations. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists for the Firm to recommend that clients engage SWMP or its affiliates to provide (or continue to provide) additional services for compensation, including investment management services. Clients retain absolute discretion over all decisions regarding implementation and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by SWMP under a financial planning or consulting engagement. Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify the Firm of any change in their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising SWMP’s recommendations and/or services. Wealth Management Services SWMP provides certain clients with wealth management services which includes a broad range of comprehensive financial planning and consulting services as well as discretionary and non-discretionary management of investment portfolios. SWMP primarily allocates client assets among various mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), individual debt and equity securities, structured notes and certificates of deposit (“CDs”) and independent investment managers (“Independent Managers”) in accordance with their stated investment objectives. Where appropriate, the Firm also provides advice about any type of legacy position or other investment held in client portfolios. Clients can engage SWMP to manage and/or advise on certain investment products Page | 5 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure that are not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). In these situations, SWMP directs or recommends the allocation of client assets among the various investment options available with the product. These assets are generally maintained at the underwriting insurance company or the custodian designated by the product’s provider. SWMP tailors its advisory services to meet the needs of its individual clients and seeks to ensure, on a continuous basis, that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. SWMP consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity constraints and other related factors relevant to the management of their portfolios. Clients are advised to promptly notify SWMP if there are changes in their financial situation or if they wish to place any limitations on the management of their portfolios. Clients can impose reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of their accounts if SWMP determines, in its sole discretion, the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly burdensome to the Firm’s management efforts. Use of Independent Managers As mentioned above, SWMP selects certain Independent Managers to actively manage a portion of its clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an Independent Manager may be set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent Manager. In addition to this brochure, clients may also receive the written disclosure documents of the respective Independent Managers engaged to manage their assets. SWMP evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers, which includes the Independent Managers’ public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Independent Managers themselves and other third-party analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible, the Firm seeks to assess the Independent Managers’ investment strategies, past performance and risk results in relation to its clients’ individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. SWMP also takes into consideration each Independent Manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing and research capabilities, among other factors. SWMP continues to provide services relative to the discretionary selection of the Independent Managers. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of those accounts being managed by Independent Managers. SWMP seeks to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. Page | 6 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure Fees for Participation in the Program The Program is offered on a fee basis, which includes fixed fees, as well as fees based upon assets under management (sometimes referred to as the “Program Fee”). Additionally, certain of the Firm’s Supervised Persons, in their individual capacities, offers securities brokerage services and/or insurance products under a separate commission-based arrangement. Financial Planning and Consulting Fees SWMP charges a fixed fee for providing financial planning and consulting services under a stand-alone engagement. These fees are negotiable, but range from $1,000 to $5,000, depending upon the scope and complexity of the services and the professional rendering the financial planning and/or the consulting services. If the client engages the Firm for additional investment advisory services, SWMP may offset all or a portion of its fees for those services based upon the amount paid for the financial planning and/or consulting services. The terms and conditions of the financial planning and/or consulting engagement are set forth in the Advisory Agreement and SWMP requires one-half of the fee (estimated hourly or fixed) payable upon execution of the Advisory Agreement. The outstanding balance is due upon delivery of the financial plan or completion of the agreed upon services. The Firm does not, however, take receipt of $1,200 or more in prepaid fees in excess of six months in advance of services rendered. Wealth Management Fees SWMP offers wealth management services for an annual fee based on the amount of assets under the Firm’s management. This management fee varies in accordance with the following fee schedule: PORTFOLIO VALUE BASE FEE Up to $499,999 $500,000 - $1,499,999 $1,500,000 - $2,999,999 $3,000,000 - $4,999,999 $5,000,000 - $7,999,999 $8,000,000 - $9,999,999 $10,000,000 - $11,999,999 $12,000,000 - $14,999,999 $15,000,000 - $17,999,999 Above $18,000,000 1.25% 1.00% 0.90% 0.80% 0.65% 0.50% 0.46% 0.43% 0.40% 0.38% Page | 7 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure Alternatively, the Firm can be engaged to provide the wealth management services on a fixed fee basis for certain clients, including those with less anticipated transactions and/or those with certain types of holding such as fixed income, structured notes and certificates of deposit. Any fixed fee would be negotiated and based upon the anticipated services and assets under management. The annual fee is prorated and charged monthly, in advance, based upon the market value of the assets being managed by SWMP on the last day of the previous month. If assets are deposited into or withdrawn from an account after the inception of a billing period, the fee payable with respect to such assets is adjusted to reflect the interim change in portfolio value. For the initial period of an engagement, the fee is calculated on a pro rata basis. In the event the advisory agreement is terminated, the fee for the final billing period is prorated through the effective date of the termination and the outstanding or unearned portion of the fee is charged or refunded to the client, as appropriate. The Firm includes cash in a client’s account in determining the valuation for billing purposes. The Firm may, in its sole discretion, not include cash in determining the fee, especially where a client has a high percentage of cash for reasons other than the Firm's investment management decision. Additionally, for asset management services the Firm provides with respect to certain client holdings (e.g., held-away assets, accommodation accounts, alternative investments, etc.), SWMP may negotiate a fee rate that differs from the range set forth above. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists for the Firm to recommend that clients engage SWMP for additional services for compensation, including rolling over retirement accounts or moving other assets to the Firm’s management. Clients retain absolute discretion over all decisions regarding engaging the Firm and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations. Fee Comparison The Firm pays Schwab applicable commissions and/or transaction fees to execute trades in the wrap fee accounts. Alternatively, the Firm can pay Schwab a single asset-based fee in lieu of transaction-based commissions. Therefore, a portion of the fees paid to SWMP are used to cover certain securities brokerage commissions and transactional costs attributed to the management of its clients’ portfolios. Services provided through the Program may cost clients more or less than purchasing these services separately. The number of transactions made in clients’ accounts, as well as the commissions charged for each transaction, determines the relative cost of the Program versus paying for execution on a per transaction basis and paying a separate fee for advisory services. Fees paid for the Program may also be higher or lower than fees charged by other sponsors of comparable investment advisory programs. Because the Firm pays for the brokerage fees, the Firm has an incentive to engage in less transactions, transactions that cost less to the Firm (including the use of mutual funds that do not have transaction charges, but have higher expenses to the client) or otherwise maximize its compensation by seeking to reduce or minimize the total costs incurred in client accounts subject to the wrap fee. Page | 8 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure The Firm provides the services through the Wrap Program as a convenience since it believes its clients prefer to not be charged commissions. The Firm does not anticipate engaging in transactions that result in significant transaction charges and does not factor them into its investment decisions. The Firm would charge the same fee to clients whether in the Wrap Program or not. Therefore, the Firm believes that the Wrap Program relationship is in the best interest of its clients. If clients have questions about the brokerage expenses associated with their account, they can ask their primary Firm representative. The Firm reviews the frequency and type of investments made in client accounts to act in the client’s best interest. Fee Discretion SWMP, in its sole discretion, may negotiate to charge a lesser fee based upon certain criteria, such as anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing/legacy client relationship, account retention and pro bono activities. Other Charges In addition to the advisory fees paid to SWMP, clients may also incur certain charges imposed by other third parties, such as broker-dealers, custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial institutions. These additional charges include fees for trades executed away from Schwab (a conflict of interest exists where the Firm avoids expenses by trading through a different Financial Institution), mark-ups and mark-downs on fixed-income transactions (or it is overly burdensome to determine the amount of such mark-ups and mark- downs), fees charged by the Independent Managers, fees attributable to alternative assets, reporting charges, margin costs, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund or ETF in a client’s account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund Program Fees and other fund expenses), spreads paid to market makers, fees and commission for assets not held with Schwab (such as 401(k) or 529 plan assets), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund, ADR fees that are charged by a custodian to a client to cover administrative or other costs associated with the ongoing management of ADR programs, and other cashiering fees. Direct Fee Debit Clients generally provide SWMP and/or certain Independent Managers with the authority to directly debit their accounts for payment of the investment advisory fees. The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts paid to SWMP. Page | 9 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure Account Additions and Withdrawals Clients may make additions to and withdrawals from their account at any time, subject to SWMP’s right to terminate an account. Additions may be in cash or securities provided that the Firm 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 SWMP, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures. However, SWMP designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets may impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. SWMP may consult with its clients about the options and implications of transferring securities. Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they may be subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g., contingent deferred sales charge) and/or tax ramifications. Charges for Recommendations of Securities Clients can engage certain persons associated with SWMP (but not the Firm directly) to render securities brokerage services under a separate commission-based arrangement. Clients are under no obligation to engage such persons and may choose brokers or agents not affiliated with SWMP. Under this arrangement, the Firm’s Supervised Persons, in their individual capacities as registered representatives of Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments, Inc. (“PKS”), may provide securities brokerage services and implement securities transactions under a separate commission based arrangement. Supervised Persons are entitled to a portion of the brokerage commissions paid to PKS, as well as a share of any ongoing distribution or service (trail) fees from the sale of mutual funds. SWMP may also recommend no- load or load-waived funds, where no sales charges are assessed. Prior to effecting any transactions, clients are required to enter into a separate account agreement with PKS. A conflict of interest exists to the extent that a Supervised Person of SWMP recommends the purchase or sale of securities through a brokerage relationship where that Supervised Persons receives commissions or other additional compensation as a result of that recommendation (the “Brokerage Relationship”). The Firm has procedures in place to ensure that any recommendations made by such Supervised Persons to engage in the Brokerage Relationship are in the best interest of that client. Because the Supervised Persons may receive compensation in connection with the sale of mutual funds in the Brokerage Relationship, a conflict of interest exists as such Supervised Persons, may have an incentive to recommend more expensive mutual fund share classes to clients where such Supervised Persons earn more compensation with respect to the sale of such mutual fund share classes. Clients should understand that the investments made in the Brokerage Relationship are not receiving advisory services from the Firm. Therefore, the Firm does not have a fiduciary duty over the Brokerage Relationship recommendations. For certain accounts covered by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and such others that SWMP, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, SWMP provide its investment advisory services to certain clients on a fee- offset basis. In this scenario, SWMP offsets its fees by an amount equal to the aggregate commissions and Page | 10 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure 12b-1 fees earned by the Firm’s Supervised Persons in their individual capacities as registered representatives of PKS. Compensation for Recommending the Program SWMP has no internal arrangements in place whereby persons recommending the Program are entitled to receive additional compensation as a result of clients’ participation. A person recommending the Program will not earn more compensation than he or she would otherwise receive if a client elected another investment management program. Item 5. Account Requirements and Types of Clients SWMP offers services to individuals, pension and profit sharing plans, trusts, estates, corporations and business entities. Item 6. Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Clients’ investment portfolios are managed either directly by SWMP or through the use of certain Independent Managers, as referenced above. Side-By-Side Management SWMP does not provide any services for a performance-based fee (i.e., a fee based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of a client’s assets). Methods of Analysis SWMP utilizes a combination of fundamental, technical and cyclical methods of analysis. Fundamental analysis involves an evaluation of the fundamental financial condition and competitive position of a particular fund or issuer. For SWMP, this process typically involves an analysis of an issuer’s management team, investment strategies, style drift, past performance, reputation and financial strength in relation to the asset class concentrations and risk exposures of the Firm’s model asset allocations. A substantial risk in relying upon fundamental analysis is that while the overall health and position of a company may be good, evolving market conditions may negatively impact the security. Technical analysis involves the examination of past market data rather than specific issuer information in determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of mathematical Page | 11 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure based indicators and charts, such as moving averages and price correlations, to identify market patterns and trends which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. A substantial risk in relying upon technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that SWMP will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. Cyclical analysis is similar to technical analysis in that it involves the assessment of market conditions at a macro (entire market or economy) or micro (company specific) level, rather than focusing on the overall fundamental analysis of the health of the particular company that SWMP is recommending. The risks with cyclical analysis are similar to those of technical analysis. Investment Strategies SWMP manages client assets through customized and model based investment portfolio management utilizing mutual funds, ETF's, individual stocks and bonds, and structured notes and CDs. The Firm has developed approximately five risk based strategies in which underlying asset class exposures are systematically evaluated utilizing fundamental research and cyclical trends. The five models can be defined as: i) Income with Capital Preservation, ii) Income with Moderate Growth, iii) Growth and Income Growth, iv) Growth and v) Aggressive Growth. A combination of fundamental research and technical analysis is utilized in the manager or individual security selection process. Portfolio are systematically re-balanced. Risk of Loss The following list of risk factors does not purport to be a complete enumeration or explanation of the risks involved with respect to the Firm’s investment management activities. Clients should consult with their legal, tax, and other advisors before engaging the Firm to provide investment management services on their behalf. Market Risks Investing involves risk, including the potential loss of principal, and all investors should be guided accordingly. The profitability of a significant portion of SWMP’s recommendations and/or investment decisions may depend to a great extent upon correctly assessing the future course of price movements of stocks, bonds and other asset classes. In addition, investments may be adversely affected by financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. There can be no assurance that SWMP will be able to predict these price movements accurately or capitalize on any such assumptions. Volatility Risks The prices and values of investments can be highly volatile, and are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, general economic conditions, the condition of the financial markets, the financial condition Page | 12 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure of the issuers of such assets, changing supply and demand relationships, and programs and policies of governments. Cash Management Risks The Firm may invest some of a client’s assets temporarily in money market funds or other similar types of investments, during which time an advisory account may be prevented from achieving its investment objective. Equity-Related Securities and Instruments The Firm may take long positions in common stocks of U.S. and non-U.S. issuers traded on national securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets. The value of equity securities varies in response to many factors. These factors include, without limitation, factors specific to an issuer and factors specific to the industry in which the issuer participates. Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by industry and/or economic trends and developments, and the stock prices of such companies may suffer a decline in response. In addition, equity securities are subject to stock risk, which is the risk that stock prices historically rise and fall in periodic cycles. U.S. and non-U.S. stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. In addition, investments in small-capitalization, midcapitalization and financially distressed companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements and may lack sufficient market liquidity, and these issuers often face greater business risks. Fixed Income Securities Fixed income securities are subject to the risk of the issuer’s or a guarantor’s inability to meet principal and interest payments on its obligations and to price volatility. Currency Risks An advisory account that holds investments denominated in currencies other than the currency in which the advisory account is denominated may be adversely affected by the volatility of currency exchange rates. Interest Rate Risks Interest rates may fluctuate significantly, causing price volatility with respect to securities or instruments held by clients. Mutual Funds and ETFs An investment in a mutual fund or ETF involves risk, including the loss of principal. Mutual fund and ETF shareholders are necessarily subject to the risks stemming from the individual issuers of the fund’s underlying portfolio securities. Such shareholders are also liable for taxes on any fund-level capital gains, Page | 13 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure as mutual funds and ETFs are required by law to distribute capital gains in the event they sell securities for a profit that cannot be offset by a corresponding loss. Shares of mutual funds are generally distributed and redeemed on an ongoing basis by the fund itself or a broker acting on its behalf. The trading price at which a share is transacted is equal to a fund’s stated daily per share net asset value (“NAV”), plus any shareholders fees (e.g., sales loads, purchase fees, redemption fees). The per share NAV of a mutual fund is calculated at the end of each business day, although the actual NAV fluctuates with intraday changes to the market value of the fund’s holdings. The trading prices of a mutual fund’s shares may differ significantly from the NAV during periods of market volatility, which may, among other factors, lead to the mutual fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to actual NAV. Shares of ETFs are listed on securities exchanges and transacted at negotiated prices in the secondary market. Generally, ETF shares trade at or near their most recent NAV, which is generally calculated at least once daily for indexed based ETFs and potentially more frequently for actively managed ETFs. However, certain inefficiencies may cause the shares to trade at a premium or discount to their pro rata NAV. There is also no guarantee that an active secondary market for such shares will develop or continue to exist. Generally, an ETF only redeems shares when aggregated as creation units (usually 20,000 shares or more). Therefore, if a liquid secondary market ceases to exist for shares of a particular ETF, a shareholder may have no way to dispose of such shares. Use of Independent Managers As stated above, SWMP selects certain Independent Managers to manage a portion of its clients’ assets. In these situations, SWMP continues to conduct ongoing due diligence of such managers, but such recommendations rely to a great extent on the Independent Managers’ ability to successfully implement their investment strategies. In addition, SWMP does not have the ability to supervise the Independent Managers on a day-to-day basis. Voting of Client Securities SWMP generally does not accept the authority to vote a client’s securities (i.e., proxies) on their behalf. Clients receive proxies directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied and may contact the Firm at the contact information on the cover of this brochure with questions about any such issuer solicitations. Item 7. Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers In this Item, SWMP is required to describe the type and frequency of the information it communicates to the Independent Managers, if any, managing its clients’ investment portfolios. Clients participating in the Page | 14 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure Program generally grant SWMP the authority to discuss certain non-public information with the Independent Managers engaged to manage their accounts. Depending upon the specific arrangement, the Firm may be authorized to disclose various personal information including, without limitation: names, phone numbers, addresses, social security numbers, tax identification numbers and account numbers. SWMP may also share certain information related to its clients’ financial positions and investment objectives in an effort to ensure that the Independent Managers’ investment decisions remain aligned with its clients’ best interests. This information is communicated on an initial and ongoing basis, or as otherwise necessary to the management of its clients’ portfolios. Item 8. Client Contact with Portfolio Managers In this Item, SWMP is required to describe any restrictions on clients’ ability to contact and consult with the portfolio managers managing their investment portfolios. There are no restrictions on clients’ ability to correspond with SWMP. Clients can request to contact the Independent Managers managing their portfolios through SWMP by providing the Firm with written request and identification of the questions or issues to be discussed with the Independent Managers. After receiving the client’s written request, SWMP, at its sole discretion, may contact the Independent Managers for the client or arrange for the Independent Managers and the client to communicate directly. The Independent Manager may not agree to communicate directly with the client. Item 9. Additional Information Disciplinary Information SWMP has not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events that are material to a client’s evaluation of its advisory business or the integrity of its management. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations This item requires investment advisers to disclose certain financial industry activities and affiliations. Registered Representatives of a Broker-Dealer Certain of the Firm’s Supervised Persons are registered representatives of PKS and provide clients with securities brokerage services under a separate commission-based arrangement. This arrangement is described at length in Item 5. Page | 15 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure Licensed Insurance Agents A number of the Firm’s Supervised Persons are licensed insurance agents and offer certain insurance products on a fully-disclosed commissionable basis. A conflict of interest exists to the extent that SWMP recommends the purchase of insurance products where its Supervised Persons are entitled to insurance commissions or other additional compensation. The Firm has procedures in place whereby it seeks to ensure that all recommendations are made in its clients’ best interest regardless of any such affiliations. Related Certified Public Accounting Firm SWMP does not render accounting services to clients. In the event a client requires accounting services, the Firm may recommend a certified public accountant. At times, the Firm recommends the services of the certified public accounting firms of Botwinick & Company, L.L.C. (“Botwinick”). These services are rendered independent of SWMP and pursuant to a separate agreement between the client and the accounting firm. One or more of the Firm’s Supervised Persons solicit business for the Firm and are also accountants with Botwinick and receive a portion of Botwinick’s fees. There exists a conflict of interest to the extent that the Firm recommends the accounting services of CPA Firms and Botwinick recommend the services of the Firm. Code of Ethics SWMP has adopted a code of ethics in compliance with applicable securities laws (“Code of Ethics”) that sets forth the standards of conduct expected of its Supervised Persons. SWMP’s Code of Ethics contains written policies reasonably designed to prevent certain unlawful practices such as the use of material non- public information by the Firm or any of its Supervised Persons and the trading by the same of securities ahead of clients in order to take advantage of pending orders. The Code of Ethics also requires certain of SWMP’s personnel to report their personal securities holdings and transactions and obtain pre-approval of certain investments (e.g., initial public offerings, limited offerings). However, the Firm’s Supervised Persons are permitted to buy or sell securities that it also recommends to clients if done in a fair and equitable manner that is consistent with the Firm’s policies and procedures. This Code of Ethics has been established recognizing that some securities trade in sufficiently broad markets to permit transactions by certain personnel to be completed without any appreciable impact on the markets of such securities. Therefore, under limited circumstances, exceptions may be made to the policies stated below. When the Firm is engaging in or considering a transaction in any security on behalf of a client, no Supervised Person with access to this information may knowingly effect for themselves or for their immediate family (i.e., spouse, minor children and adults living in the same household) a transaction in that security unless: • the transaction has been completed; Page | 16 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure • the transaction for the Supervised Person is completed as part of a batch trade with clients; or • a decision has been made not to engage in the transaction for the client. These requirements are not applicable to: (i) direct obligations of the Government of the United States; (ii) money market instruments, bankers’ acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and other high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements; (iii) shares issued by mutual funds or money market funds; and (iv) shares issued by unit investment trusts that are invested exclusively in one or more mutual funds. Clients and prospective clients may contact SWMP to request a copy of its Code of Ethics. Account Reviews SWMP implements a continuous investment management process to ensure client portfolios align with their financial objectives. Portfolios and accounts are monitored regularly to evaluate performance, manage risk exposure, and maintain adherence to investment goals. The Firm conducts monthly investment meetings to assess and refine its investment models, focusing on asset allocation strategies, manager selection, and ongoing due diligence. Client accounts undergo systematic reviews, with rebalancing performed as needed—at least annually—to preserve strategic allocation targets. To enhance oversight, SWMP utilizes advanced portfolio monitoring software that continuously tracks asset allocation deviations, ensuring portfolios remain aligned with investment strategies and client objectives. Account Statements and General Reports Clients are provided with transaction confirmation notices and regular summary account statements directly from the Financial Institutions where their assets are custodied. From time-to-time or as otherwise requested, clients may also receive written or electronic reports from SWMP and/or an outside service provider, which contain certain account and/or market-related information, such as an inventory of account holdings or account performance. Clients should compare the account statements they receive from their custodian with any documents or reports they receive from SWMP or an outside service provider. Client Referrals In the event a client is introduced to SWMP by either an unaffiliated or an affiliated solicitor, the Firm may pay that solicitor a referral fee in accordance with applicable securities laws. Unless otherwise disclosed, Page | 17 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure any such referral fee is paid solely from SWMP’s investment management fee and does not result in any additional charge to the client. If the client is introduced to the Firm by an unaffiliated solicitor, the solicitor is required to provide the client with SWMP’s written brochure(s) and a copy of a solicitor’s disclosure statement containing the terms and conditions of the solicitation arrangement and any conflicts of interest. Any affiliated solicitor of SWMP is required to disclose the nature of his or her relationship to prospective clients at the time of the solicitation. Receipt of Economic Benefit and Brokerage Practices SWMP requires that clients utilize the custody, brokerage and clearing services of Schwab for investment management accounts in the Program. SWMP is independently owned and operated and not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab provides SWMP with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to retail investors. SWMP does not consider, in selecting or recommending broker- dealers, whether the Firm receives client referrals from the Financial Institutions or other third party. Factors which SWMP considers in recommending Schwab or any other broker-dealer to clients include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research and service. Schwab has also agreed to reimburse clients for exit fees associated with moving accounts to Schwab. The reimbursement is only available up to a certain amount for all of the Firm’s clients over a twelve month period. Fees are reimbursed on a first-come-first-served basis so that no clients are favored. In seeking best execution in recommending Schwab, 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 Schwab’s services, including among others, the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates and responsiveness. Consistent with obtaining best execution, brokerage transactions are directed to certain broker-dealers in return for investment research products and/or services which assist SWMP in its investment decision- making process. Such research will be used to service all of the Firm’s clients. 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 SWMP does not have to produce or pay for the products or services. SWMP periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its recommendation of Financial Institutions in light of its duty to obtain best execution. SWMP receives without cost from Schwab administrative support, computer software, related systems support, as well as other third party support as further described below (together "Support") which allow SWMP to better monitor client accounts maintained at Schwab and otherwise conduct its business. SWMP receives the Support without cost because the Firm renders investment management services to clients that maintain assets at Schwab. The Support is not provided in connection with securities transactions of clients Page | 18 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure (i.e., not “soft dollars”). The Support benefits SWMP, but not its clients directly. Clients should be aware that SWMP’s receipt of economic benefits such as the Support from a broker-dealer creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Firm’s choice of broker-dealer over another that does not furnish similar software, systems support or services. In fulfilling its duties to its clients, SWMP endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients first and has determined that the recommendation of Schwab is in the best interest of clients and satisfies the Firm's duty to seek best execution. Specifically, SWMP receives the following benefits from Schwab: i) receipt of duplicate client confirmations and bundled duplicate statements; ii) access to a trading desk that exclusively services its institutional traders; iii) access to block trading which provides the ability to aggregate securities transactions and then allocate the appropriate shares to client accounts; and iv) access to an electronic communication network for client order entry and account information. In addition, the Firm receives funds to be used toward qualifying third-party service providers for research, marketing, compliance, technology and software platforms and services. These services generally are available to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as the Firm has a certain amount of clients’ assets maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services 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. In addition, the Firm receives funds to be used toward qualifying third-party service providers for research, marketing, compliance, technology and software platforms and services These funds are available upon hitting specific thresholds of new assets added to Schwab during an initial twelve month period. Schwab also makes available to the Firm other products and services that benefit the Firm but may not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or Firm specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of SWMP by Schwab personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist SWMP in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of the Firm's fees from its clients’ accounts, and assist with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of the Firm’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. Schwab also makes available to SWMP other services intended to help the Firm manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services may include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information Page | 19 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure 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 rendered to the Firm by independent third parties. Schwab may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third- party providing these services to the Firm. While, as a fiduciary, SWMP endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, the Firm's recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part on the benefits received and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which creates a potential conflict of interest. As described herein, the Firm's management services are provided through the Program where the client does not pay separately for brokerage commissions. Schwab's pricing to the Firm for brokerage services is based partially on client holdings in types of investments, including cash and cash equivalents. This results in a conflict of interest to the Firm since there is an incentive to use such investments for the Firm to secure a lower fee from Schwab which would benefit the Firm, but not the client. Trade Aggregation Transactions for each client will be effected independently, unless SWMP decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. SWMP 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 the Firm’s clients differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might not have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will be averaged as to price and allocated among SWMP’s clients pro rata to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client on any given day. To the extent that the Firm determines to aggregate client orders for the purchase or sale of securities, including securities in which SWMP’s Supervised Persons may invest, the Firm 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. SWMP does not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of the aggregation. In the event that the Firm determines that a prorated allocation is not appropriate under the particular circumstances, the allocation will be made based upon other relevant factors, which 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 Page | 20 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure more accounts, the Firm 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. Trade Error Practices From time-to-time the Firm can make an error in submitting a trade order. When this occurs, the Firm can place a correcting trade with the broker-dealer which has custody of the account. If an investment gain results from the correcting trade, the gain will remain in the client’s account unless the same error involved other client account(s) that should have received the gain, it is not permissible for the client to retain the gain, or the Firm confers with the client and they decide to forego the gain (e.g., due to tax reasons). If the gain does not remain in the account and Schwab is the custodian, Schwab will donate the amount of any gain $100 and over to charity. If a loss occurs greater than $100, the Firm will pay for the loss. Schwab will maintain the loss or gain (if such gain is not retained in the client’s account) if it is under $100 to minimize and offset its administrative time and expense. Generally, if related trade errors result in both gains and losses in the client’s account, they may be netted. Firm Custody Fee Withdrawals The Advisory Agreement and/or the separate agreement with any Financial Institution authorize SWMP and/or the Independent Managers to debit client accounts for payment of the Firm’s fees and to directly remit that those funds to the Firm in accordance with applicable custody rules. The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified custodian for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts paid to SWMP. In addition, as discussed in Item 13, SWMP will also send, or otherwise make available, periodic supplemental reports to clients. Clients should carefully review the statements sent directly by the Financial Institutions and compare them to those received from SWMP. Standing Letters of Authorization SWMP also has custody due to clients giving the Firm limited power of attorney in a standing letter of authorization (“SLOA”) to disburse funds to one or more third parties as specifically designated by the client. In such circumstances, the Firm will implement the steps in the SEC’s no-action letter on February 21, 2017 which includes (in summary): i) client will provide instruction for the SLOA to the custodian; ii) client will authorize the Firm to direct transfers to the specific third party; iii) the custodian will perform appropriate verification of the instruction and provide a transfer of funds notice to the client promptly after Page | 21 © MarketCounsel 2026 Wrap Fee Brochure each transfer; iv) the client will have the ability to terminate or change the instruction; v) the Firm will have no authority or ability to designate or change the identity or any information about the third party; vi) the Firm will keep records showing that the third party is not a related party of the Firm or located at the same address as the Firm; and vii) the custodian will send the client an initial and annual notice confirming the SLOA instructions Financial Information SWMP is not required to disclose any financial information due to the following: • The Firm does not require or solicit the prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six months or more in advance of services rendered; • The Firm does not have a financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet contractual commitments to clients; and • The Firm has not been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years.
