ITEM IV - ADVISORY BUSINESS
Storge Partners Economic Studies LLC (STORGE) is an independent boutique
investment advisory firm founded in 2017 and registered with the U.S.
Securities & Exchange Commission in September 18, 2019. STORGE’s main
objective is to provide personalized, unbiased and transparent financial
advisory services to their clients.
Adviser provides investment advisory services to Adviser’s clients through the
assessment of investment portfolios in accordance with the objectives,
guidelines and risk profiles of individual clients. Clients provide such
information to Adviser at or before the time they enter into an advisory
agreement with Adviser.
Its principal business is to provide fee-based investment advisory services.
The advisor practices custom management of portfolios, on a non-
discretionary basis, according to the client's objectives. The advisor's primary
approach is to use a strategic asset allocation, strategy aimed at reducing
3
risk and increasing performance.
The advisor uses exchange listed securities, over- the-counter securities,
foreign securities, corporate debt securities, CDs, variable life insurance,
mutual funds, United States government securities, options in securities and
commodities, and futures contracts on tangibles to accomplish this
objective. The advisor measures and selects mutual funds by using various
criteria, such as the fund manager's tenure, and/or overall career
performance. The advisor may recommend, on occasion, redistributing
investment allocations to diversify the portfolio in an effort to reduce risk
and increase performance. The advisor may recommend specific stocks to
increase sector weighting and /or dividend potential. The advisor may
recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market
movement which may adversely affect the portfolio. The advisor may
recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited
to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a
specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the
position(s) in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of client, or any risk
deemed unacceptable for the client's risk tolerance. STORGE will provide
investment advisory services and portfolio assessment and will not provide
securities custodial or other related services.
At no time will STORGE accept or maintain custody of a client's funds or
securities.
STORGE may periodically recommend and refer clients to unaffiliated
money managers or investment advisors. Through this arrangement, the
Client will then enter into an advisory agreement with the third-party
money manager authorizing them to assist and advise the client in
establishing investment objectives and develop an investment strategy
to meet those objectives by identifying appropriate investments and
monitoring such investments.

ITEM V - FEES AND COMPENSATION
Asset Management Fees
Pursuant to an investment advisory contract signed by each client, the client
periodically pays an Advisory Fee as agreed between the client and the Firm.
The Advisory Fee is based on the asset value of the assets supervised by the
advisor at the beginning of the advisory period as established in the
investment advisory Agreement or at its annual review. The Advisory Fee
could be charged on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis,
payable in advance or in arrears (as preferred by the client). Semi- annual
or annual options are only available for payments in advance.
Pro-rated refunds fees will be made to the clients if and when the
Agreement is terminated during a period for which payment has been
received by the Firm.
Fee Schedule
Annual Fee:
Minimum Fee:
From 0.25% to 1% /year
$18,000.00 per year*
*Minimum Fee not applicable to clients with AUMs of $1,250,000 or
less.
Fees are billed at the beginning of each period or at the end of the
period depending on the agreement with each client.
These fees may be negotiated (reduced) by the advisor under unusual
circumstances, at the sole discretion of the advisor. Asset management fees
could be automatically deducted from the client account on a periodic basis
by the custodian provided the client’s agreement.
6
All fees paid to the Firm for investment advisory services are separate and
distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders and
the product sponsor in the case of variable insurance products. These fees
and expenses are described in each fund's or variable product's prospectus.
These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses,
and a possible distribution fee. If the sponsor also imposes sales charges, a
client may pay an initial or deferred sale or surrender charge. A client could
invest in these products directly, without the services of the Firm. In that
case, the client would not receive the services provided by the Firm which are
designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which
products or services are most appropriate to each client's financial condition
and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by
the product sponsor and the fees charged by the Firm to fully understand the
total fees to be paid.
Consulting Fees
The Firm does not currently provide consulting services. Should non financial
consulting services be solicited by a client they will be provided, if available,
by another company of the group.
Performance Fees
At the time of issuing this document, the Firm has no Performance Fee
Agreements in place.
Additional Fee Information
Clients may authorize the Adviser to directly debit management fees from
client accounts on a periodic basis.
Alternatively, in some instances, clients may receive an invoice for fees, in
which it may choose to pay the Firm directly for its billed fees for the relevant
period.
Adviser’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and
other related costs and expenses which shall be incurred directly by the client.
Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other
third parties such as fees charged by fund managers, custodial fees, deferred
sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and
electronic funds fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage account and
securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge
internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. It is
the Adviser’s policy not to accept “kick-backs” or retrocession fees from any
7
third non-affiliated party providing services to the Adviser’s clients.
ITEM VI - PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE
MANAGEMENT
The Firm does not currently have Performance- based fees.
Advice can be provided on assets held offshore.
Exceptionally, only upon request of a Client, the Firm may consider the
application of a performance fee in addition to a reduced fixed annual fee.
Such performance fee will be calculated based on the profit obtained on the
client´s portfolio supervised as of 31st December of each year. The percentage
of such performance fee may vary from 5% to 15% of profits achieved above
the threshold agreed with the customer. Typically this threshold will be
referenced to the 1 year tenor US Treasury Bill rate.
The Firm, if requested by a client, may agree to apply a watermark to calculate
the applicable performance fee.
The watermark is a threshold above which the performance fee will apply. This
threshold will be the highest level (amount) of assets at the annual revision
date (31st December) plus the amounts disbursed (transferred out) and minus
de amounts added (transferred in) during the annual period, in order to
determine the real annual return obtained. The performance fee will be applied
to the amount above such watermark at the annual revision date (31st
December), provided the client and the Firm agree.
ITEM VII - TYPES OF CLIENTS
Most of the Firm’s clients are high-net-worth individuals and families, directly
or through their investments vehicles. The Firm may also manage portfolios
and provide investment advice to investment companies.
However at the moment, the Firm does not provide advice to investment
companies.
The firm’s cumulative minimum account is $3,000,000. However, based on
facts and circumstances STORGE may, at its sole discretion, accept accounts
with a lower value.
8
ITEM VIII - METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND
RISK LOSS
The Firm’s primary approach is to use a Strategic Asset Allocation aimed at
reducing risk and increasing performance. The advisor analyses among all
investment products available in the financial market, those that better fit
each client, according to the client´s objectives, risk tolerance and
investment profile.
The advisor will also analyze the “momentum” or appropriateness of each
potential investment recommendation according to various factors: risk,
dividend history, diversification, growth potential and market consensus.
The advisor gives a high level of scrutiny to the cost applied by custodians
and brokers to each transaction with the aim of helping the client to reduce
costs as much as possible.
The firm will always follow the client´s objectives; however, the Firms´
standard investment strategy recommendation is focused on risk quality,
cost contention and profitability in the mid-long term, as opposed to short
term speculative transactions.
There is a substantial risk of loss in trading in securities and other financial
instruments. Past results are no guarantee of future performance. You should
carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your
experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.
Trading in futures and options is not suitable for many members of the public.
ITEM IX - DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
Neither the Firm nor any employee of the firm has been subject to any
disciplinary actions by the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) or
any other regulatory authority.

ITEM XI - CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
The Firm has adopted a Code of Ethics that sets forth the basic policies of
ethical conduct for all managers, officers, and employees of the adviser. In
addition, the Code of Ethics governs personal trading by each employee of
the Firm deemed to be an Access Person and is intended to ensure that
securities transactions effected by Access Persons of the Firm are conducted
in a manner that avoids any actual or potential conflict of interest between
such persons and clients of the adviser or its affiliates. The Firm collects and
maintains records of securities holdings and securities transactions effected
by Access Persons. These records are reviewed to identify and resolve
potential conflicts of interest. STORGE maintains a code of ethics and they
will provide a copy to any client or prospective client upon request.
The Firm and/or its investment advisory representatives may from time to
time purchase or sell products that they may recommend to clients.
The Firm prohibits itself and its associated persons from benefiting from the
short-term market effects of transactions for clients. The Firm gives
preference to clients trading over itself. The compliance officer reviews all
transactions executed by the Firm regularly, and conducts an additional
review of all securities transactions by officers and employees quarterly, at
least.
ITEM XII - BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Best Execution: As an investment advisory firm, the Firm has a fiduciary
duty to seek best execution for client transactions. While best execution is
difficult to define and challenging to measure, there is some consensus that
it does not solely mean the achievement of the best price on a given
transaction. Rather, it appears to be a collective consideration of factors
concerning the trade in question. Such factors include the security being
traded, the price of the trade, the speed of the execution, apparent conditions
in the market, and the specific needs of the client.
This would justify higher commissions (or their equivalent) than other
transactions requiring routine service to be applied by the Broker (never the
Firm) if directed by the client to direct trades to a specific broker dealer other
11
than the custodian typically used for trade execution, it is disclosed that the
Firm’s ability to negotiate commissions (where applicable), obtain volume
discounts, or otherwise obtain best execution may not be as favorable as
might otherwise be obtained.
Order Aggregation:
The Firm does not work with order Aggregation.
ITEM XIII - REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Accounts are monitored on an ongoing basis. The Portfolio Adviser will review
client accounts. The triggering factors would be the Firm becomes aware of a
change in client's investment objective, a change in market conditions,
change of employment, review of assets to maintain proper asset allocation
and any other activity that may be discovered as the account is reviewed.
Apart from regular reports from the Firm, the client will receive other
supporting reports from Mutual Funds, Asset Managers, Trust Companies or
Custodians, Insurance Companies, Broker/Dealers and others who are
involved with client accounts unless the client declines receiving those.
The client is encouraged to notify the Advisor and Investment Advisor
Representative if changes occur in his/her personal financial situation that
might adversely affect his/her investment plan.
Accounts are reviewed on a quarterly basis when deemed necessary by the
Advisor or by third-party money manager for those participating in the Asset
Management Program. Re-balancing is accomplished by recommending
reallocation of assets to original asset targets and re-optimizing involves
setting new target asset category percentages.
ITEM XIV - CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
The Firm, from time to time, may receive client referrals, and such referrals
often come from current clients, attorneys, accountants, employees, personal
friends of employees and other similar sources.
At present, the Firm does not pay any compensation or Client referrals,
however the Firm is considering entering into agreement whereby a party
unaffiliated with the Adviser is entitled to compensation in the event that such
party promote prospective clients who become Adviser’s clients. In such a
12
case, pursuant to the Agreement, the Promoter will provide each prospective
client with a copy of the Adviser’s Form ADV Part 2A and a disclosure
document setting forth the terms of the Promoter ´s agreement, including
the nature of the relationship between the Promoter and the Adviser and any
fees to be paid to the Promoter. Where applicable, cash payments for client
solicitations will be structure to comply fully with the requirements of Rule
206(4)-1 under the Advisers Act.
ITEM XV - CUSTODY
The Firm provides non-discretional investment advisory services and does not
provide securities custodial or other related services. At no time will the firm
accept or maintain custody of a client's funds or securities.
ITEM XVI - INVESTMENT DISCRETION
The Firm only provides non discretional advisory services.
ITEM XVII - VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES

responsibility for the voting of these proxies. Also, the Firm cannot give any
advice or take any action with respect to the voting of these proxies.
