Forum Finance’s authority may be subject to conditions imposed by individual clients as set forth and agreed upon the asset management agreement entered between Forum Finance and the client. For example, a client may restrict or prohibit transactions in certain types of securities. Services Client Accounts are broadly managed in a similar manner. However, differences in each portfolio may occur due to client-specific investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, tax considerations, reference currency, legal restrictions and overall suitability. Forum Finance provides a comprehensive range of services in the areas of discretionary portfolio management and non-discretionary (advisory) management, as well as investment consolidation / reporting to high net worth and ultra-high net worth private clients and their families. Discretionary Portfolio Management highly Forum Finance’s client portfolios are globally diversified across multiple asset classes. Accounts may include, without limitation: equity securities, fixed income and other debt securities, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, hedge funds, options, structured products, precious metals and other alternative investments consistent with the client’s investment profile and overall suitability. For the purpose of diversification, client Accounts will hold non-dollar securities in markets outside the United States. Forum Finance tailored offers discretionary portfolio management services to individuals, high and ultra-high net worth clients and their families who wish to have their assets fully managed by Forum Finance. This service includes asset allocation, investment selection, active portfolio management and portfolio rebalancing in accordance with each client’s personal circumstances. Whilst Forum Finance generally makes investments with a longer time horizon, the Firm may make changes to allocations, resulting in underweight or overweight positions, to take advantage of short-term developments in economic conditions. When doing so, Forum Finance will make every attempt to be sensitive to transaction costs and taxes, as applicable. Forum Finance discusses a client's prior investment history, as well as family situation and background. As part of this information- gathering process, Forum Finance determines the client's individual investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs and tax situation, and, considering these factors, develops a tailored investment policy for that client (“investment profile”).

Forum Finance provides portfolio advice and trading recommendations but all decisions regarding the investment of the Account reside with the client. This service is for clients who desire holistic designed management of their Account but who want to retain investment decision. As a result, clients under this service offering may not be invested in the same manner as those clients using discretionary portfolio management services. However, these services are not provided to U.S. clients. Item 5.

Forum Finance has no authority to advice on the Accounts it does not manage.

Investment results Forum Finance potentially can receive higher fees with a performance-based compensation structure than from those accounts that pay according to the asset- based fee schedule described above. To minimize this conflict, Forum Finance generally will enter a performance-based fee arrangement upon the request of a client or in the case of specific investment performance objectives. Side-by-Side Management Forum Finance has policies and procedures in place aimed to ensure that all client accounts are treated fairly and equitably. Forum Finance strives to equitably allocate investment opportunities among relevant accounts over time. In addition, investment decisions for each account are made with specific reference to the individual needs and objectives of the account. Accordingly, Forum Finance may give advice or exercise investment responsibility or take other actions for some clients (including related persons) that may differ from the advice given, or the timing and nature of actions taken, for other for different clients. that are including accounts accounts, generally managed in a similar style, also may differ as a result of these considerations.

Forum Finance may accept accounts below the minimum requirements and will retain accounts that have dropped below the minimum to market fluctuation or investment performance. Related accounts can be aggregated. Forum Finance manages many client accounts and because of differences in the fees charged on various accounts, Forum Finance has conflicts arising from such side-by-side management of different accounts. For example, Forum Finance generally manages more than one account according to the same or a substantially similar investment strategy and yet has a different fee schedule applicable to such accounts because of the respective clients’ AUM with Forum Finance or a client’s election to compensate Forum Finance on a performance basis. Side-by-side management of different types of accounts may raise conflicts of interest when two or more accounts invest in the same securities or pursue a similar although not identical strategy. These potential conflicts include the favorable or preferential treatment of an account or a group of accounts, conflicts related investment the allocation of opportunities, particularly with respect to securities that have limited availability, such as initial public offerings, and transactions in follow related one Account that closely In transactions the addition, investment activities for one account may differ significantly from the results achieved for other accounts, particularly if Forum Finance individually tailors clients’ accounts. 6 December 02, 2025 The Forum Finance Group SA, CRD: 284407 Asset Classes Investment strategy Item 8.

Counterparty Credit Risk. When a derivative is purchased, a client’s account will be subject to the ability and willingness of the other party to the contract (“counterparty”) to perform its the contract. Although obligations under exchange-traded options and futures contracts are generally backed by a guarantee from a clearing corporation, an account could lose the benefit of a contract in the unlikely event that the clearing corporation insolvent. The counterparty’s becomes obligations under a forward contract, over- the-counter option, swap or other over-the- counter derivative contract are not so guaranteed. If the counterparty to an over- the-counter contract its obligations, an account may lose the benefit of the contract and may have difficulty reclaiming any collateral that the account may have deposited with the counterparty. investment trusts, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) and any other private alternative or investment fund. Investments in Funds carry risks associated with the particular Fund. Each Fund and the respective manager will charge their own management and other fees, which will result in a client bearing an additional level of fees and expenses. US mutual funds generally must distribute all gains to investors, including investors who may not have an economic gain from investing in the fund, which can lead to negative tax effects on investors, particularly non-US persons. Investments in certain non- US funds by US persons result in US tax and reporting obligations and failing to comply with such requirements can result in significant penalties. Funds generally have unique risks of loss as described in their offering documents. Funds can make use of leverage to enhance returns, which increases both volatility and interest rate risk and raises the risk of default. Certain Funds invest in derivatives, which can raise specific counter- party risks. Funds that are not traded can have illiquidity and valuation risks resulting in the inability to redeem or sell the Fund on demand. See the discussion below relating to risks in structured products and derivatives for more information on the risks of investing in Funds. related to Structured Products & Risks Derivatives. invest c. Lack of Correlation. The market value of a derivative position may correlate imperfectly with the market price of the asset underlying the derivative position. To the extent that a derivative position is being used to hedge against changes in the value of assets in an account, a lack of price correlation between the derivative position and the hedged asset may result in an Account’s assets being incompletely hedged or not completely offsetting price changes in the derivative position. in derivative d. Illiquidity. Forum Finance may in structured products or derivatives or invest in Funds that hold investments in structured products or derivatives. In addition to the risks that apply to all investments in securities, investing and engaging instruments and transactions may involve different types of risk and possibly greater levels of risk. These risks include, but are not limited to the following: derivative Over-the-counter contracts are usually subject to restrictions on transfer, and there is generally no liquid market for these contracts. Although it is often possible to negotiate the termination of an over-the-counter contract or enter into an offsetting contract, a counterparty may be unable or unwilling to terminate a contract with an Account, especially during times of market instability or disruption. The markets for many exchange-traded futures, options and other instruments are quite liquid during normal market conditions, but this liquidity times of market may disappear during a. Leverage. Certain investment instruments such as derivatives may use leverage to achieve returns.

Risks Relating to Foreign Currency Exposure. non-dollar cash supply, and investor demand. Metals should not be perceived as safer investments but rather as an asset class that also is speculative and volatile. Unless specifically agreed by the custodian bank, a precious metal account generally does not represent a right to convert to physical delivery and as such, generally there is a counterparty risk based on the financial strength and solvency of the custodian bank to pay the monetary equivalent of the notated value in the precious metal account. Alternatively, in the case of non- segregated physical holdings, there are other risks including the potential inability for the custodian bank to deliver the physical metal timely and liquidity risks associated with taking physical delivery of precious metals. Clients should see the specific risk disclosures issued by the custodian bank relating to precious metal accounts and physical precious metals. favorably or unfavorably Forum Finance generally provides all new clients with a copy of “Special Risks in Securities Trading” published by the Swiss Bankers Association. Item 9. Disciplinary Information Accounts managed by Forum Finance are routinely subject to foreign currency risks and bear a potential risk of loss arising from fluctuations in value between the US Dollar and such other currencies. Forum Finance invests in securities and other investments that are denominated in currencies other than US Dollars. Some client’s Accounts may hold significant positions. Accordingly, the value of such assets may be affected by fluctuations in currency rates. Often clients are seeking this foreign currency exposure. Thus, Forum Finance generally does not seek to hedge the foreign currency exposure. Even to the extent that Forum Finance does seek to hedge the foreign currency exposure, such hedging strategies may not necessarily be available or effective. Forum Finance has not been involved in any legal or disciplinary events. Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations trade balances and policies of various to Non-U.S. Investments.

Precious metal accounts and investments in physical precious metals offered by custodian banks present special risks. These metal accounts generally are notated with reference to the market price of the respective precious respective metal as determined by custodian bank. The value of precious metals is volatile and generally based on the current spot or market price of the particular metal. The value of precious metals is driven by a variety of factors on a global basis including, among industrial demand, market other factors, Forum Finance manages the DGC FAB Global Balanced Fund and the CPF global equity fund and receives compensation for that service.

In cases where Forum Finance will provide a copy of its General Principles of Professional Conduct to any client or prospective client upon request. Participation or Interest in Client Transactions Each custodian bank has its own policies and procedures relating to brokerage. Generally, the custodial bank requires Forum Finance to route securities orders through the trading desk of the bank. In such cases Forum Finance will not have discretion in selecting the broker-dealer and the client should be aware of the incumbent risks associated with such arrangement. the custodial bank will settle with third-party broker-dealers, then Forum Finance will select the broker-dealer as described in this Item 12. In such cases, the Swiss custodian bank will settle trades with delivery-against- payment model. Forum Finance Selection of Broker-Dealers route securities orders Although Forum Finance does not hold proprietary positions, Forum Finance’s related persons may own, buy, or sell for themselves the same securities that they or Forum Finance have recommended to clients. Thus, from time to time, a client Account may purchase or hold a security in which a related person of Forum Finance has financial interest or an ownership position, or a related person may purchase a security that is held in a client Account. When the custodian bank permits Forum Finance to select the broker-dealer, Forum Finance will to purchase and sell securities for those client accounts held at the bank to independent brokers and dealers. time to In selecting brokers and dealers to effect client transactions, Forum Finance attempts to obtain for clients: (i) the prompt execution of client transactions while market conditions still favor the transaction and (ii) the most favorable net prices reasonably obtainable. This is called “best execution.” In placing orders to purchase and sell equity securities, application of these Also, from time, Forum Finance employees or related persons may invest alongside the Firm’s clients, both to align the interest of Firm and personnel and Firm clients and as an expression of confidence in our investment management efforts. To ensure that Forum Finance personnel never trade ahead of their clients, Forum Finance Ltd requires all trading in specific positions for officer and employee accounts to come after the analogous trades are executed for client Accounts. Firm personnel communicate freely and frequently among themselves to ensure fundamental the restrictions. Item 12. Brokerage Practices All of Forum Finance’s clients already have existing accounts or open new accounts at custodial banks in Switzerland or elsewhere. Each client is responsible for selecting the bank which holds his or her account. While Forum Finance does not select custodial Forum Finance selects brokers that it believes will provide the best overall qualitative execution given the particular circumstances. A broker may provide more favorable terms and a higher quality of service to customers who place a higher volume of transactions through that broker. Accordingly, to obtain the benefits of higher volume trading for clients, Forum Finance may place a large portion of client equity transactions through a limited number of brokers that meet the Firm’s quality standards. When selecting a new equity broker, Forum Finance conducts a due diligence review of the broker to evaluate 12 December 02, 2025 The Forum Finance Group SA, CRD: 284407 whether the broker is likely to provide best execution. Forum Finance may consider any of the following factors: - The ability of the custodian bank to settle transactions with the broker. than - The quality of services provided (including commissions, which may not be the lowest available, but which ordinarily will not be higher the generally prevailing competitive range). - The extent of coverage of the various markets Forum Finance trades in. - The broker’s ability to communicate effectively with Forum Finance. - The broker’s ability to execute and settle difficult trades. - Whether or not the broker offers lower cost be made through the broker-dealer specified by the custodian bank and Forum Finance will have no ability to select the broker-dealer. In most cases, Swiss custodian banks act as a broker-dealer and/or maintain relationships with designated broker-dealers (including potentially an affiliate of the custodian bank). If required by the custodian bank, Forum Finance effects security transactions through the custodian bank or the broker or dealer designated by the custodian bank selected by the client. In such cases, Forum Finance cannot guarantee that the client will receive best execution or the best commissions because Forum Finance does not control these factors. Clients should be aware of the potential that the broker-dealer used for transactions may not be a registered broker- dealer under the Exchange Act. electronic trading. - The broker’s clearance and settlement efficiency. - Whether or not the broker can handle Forum Finance’s range of order sizes. Clients also should be aware of the following disadvantages associated with Forum Finance not having the ability to select the broker-dealer: - The broker’s ability to maintain confidentiality and anonymity. - The reputation of the broker. - The stability and financial strength of the broker. - Clients are solely responsible for negotiating the commission rates and fees paid to the Swiss custodian bank where such custodian bank requires Forum Finance to trade through its broker-dealer. Forum Finance will not be able to negotiate commission rates with the designated broker, and the Firm will not have any negotiating leverage that results from the ability to trade away from a designated broker. the SEC under - Clients may pay higher commission rates than those paid by other clients whose trades are placed with a broker-dealer chosen by Forum Finance, may receive less favorable trade executions, and/or may not obtain best execution on their transactions. the services provided by - Accounts will not be able to participate in aggregated or block transactions with other clients who maintain their Accounts at other custodian banks. This can limit the ability to benefit from volume discounts or more favorable terms that might be available from aggregated transactions. Due to the fact Forum Finance is based in Switzerland and many of the securities purchased are non-US securities, the brokers used by Forum Finance may not be registered with the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forum Finance’s Chief Compliance Officer reviews the due diligence performed and approves or rejects the selection of each broker. On a regular basis, Forum Finance monitors the approved brokers, the quality of executions and research, commission rates, the overall brokerage relationship, and any other issues. Forum Finance will periodically reconsider whether placing a large portion of client trades through a particular broker continues to be in the best interest of our clients. Client-Directed Brokerage Custodian Bank Selection of Broker-Dealers Generally, Forum Finance does not permit clients to direct brokerage other than as Brokerage for transactions involving assets held at Swiss custodian banks generally must 13 December 02, 2025 The Forum Finance Group SA, CRD: 284407 outlined above in the context of a custodian bank selected by the client that requires the use of a specified broker-dealer. Block Trades Also note, since most Swiss custodian banks warehouse securities orders until filled, there may be delays in settlement between client Accounts depending on the practice of the respective custodian bank and/or broker. Decision Making Process; Balancing the Interests of Multiple Client Accounts in In making the decision as to which securities are to be purchased or sold and the amounts thereof, Forum Finance is guided by the investment profile defined at the inception of the adviser-client relationship in cooperation with the client, and by periodic internal the asset allocation. The reviews of investment profile covers such matters as the relative proportion of debt and equity securities to be held in the Account, the degree of risk that the client wishes to assume and the types and amounts of securities to be held the account. Forum Finance’s authority may be further limited by specific instructions from the client, which may restrict or prohibit transactions in certain securities. resulting from investable In certain less liquid publicly participate in the Forum Finance may manage numerous accounts with similar or identical investment objectives or may manage accounts with different objectives that may trade in the same securities. Despite such similarities, portfolio decisions relating to client investments and the performance such decisions may differ from client to client. Forum Finance will not necessarily purchase or sell the same securities at the same time or in the same proportionate amounts for all eligible clients, particularly if different clients have selected different investment profiles, have materially different amounts of capital under management with Forum Finance or different amounts of cash instances such as available. traded purchases of securities or oversubscribed public offerings, it may not be possible or feasible to allocate a transaction pro rata to all eligible clients, especially if clients have materially different sized portfolios. Therefore, not all clients will necessarily same investment opportunities or participate on the same basis. Forum Finance generally will combine orders into block trades when purchasing the same security for multiple client Accounts. Such aggregated orders (“block trades”) will be pre- allocated among the participating client Accounts. When selecting the participating Accounts a variety of factors such as suitability, investment objectives and strategy, risk tolerance and / or the ability to invest additional funds will be taken into consideration. In determining the portion for each participating Account further factors such as Account size, diversification, asset allocation and position weightings as well as any other appropriate factors might be of relevance. Participating Accounts in a block trade placed with the same broker or the same custodian bank generally will receive an average price and transaction costs will be shared on a proportionate basis and as determined in the agreement with the custodian. This can either be a sharing on a pro rata basis or based on the implemented digression model, whereas costs decrease in relation to the purchased quantity and include the application of a minimum rate, when shared costs are below a defined amount. Partial fills of transactions will be allocated on a pro rata share basis. Because Forum Finance’s clients maintain Accounts at different custodian banks and because many of these custodian banks mandate the use of a specific broker (see description above), often Forum Finance places more than one block trade for the same security with more than one broker. Forum Finance Ltd transmits such block trades to more than one broker in a random pattern (i.e. Forum Finance does not favor one custodian bank or broker over another with respect to the order in which block trade orders are sent). The average price realized on a securities order placed with different brokers will vary broker to broker, and clients generally will receive different average prices and transaction costs for the same security order depending upon the custodian bank and the respective broker used in the block trade. Use of Soft Dollars 14 December 02, 2025 The Forum Finance Group SA, CRD: 284407 errors is to: - Identify any errors in a timely manner. - Correct all errors so that any affected account is placed in the same position it would have been in had the error not occurred. - Incur all costs associated with correcting an error (or to pass the costs on to the broker, depending on which party is at fault). Costs from corrective actions are not to be passed on to a client. Forum Finance may maintain soft dollar arrangements, and to the extent it does it will only do so in accordance with the conditions of the safe harbor provided by Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act. Section 28(e) is a “safe harbor” that permits an investment manager to use brokerage commissions or “soft dollars” to obtain research and brokerage services that provide lawful and appropriate assistance in the investment decision-making process. the management or - Forum Finance may, in accordance with the client, offset a loss and all associated costs against investment advisory fees it charges, - Evaluate how the error occurred and assess in any processes are if any changes warranted or if any continuing education is required. consequences and the required The corrective measures may be different depending upon the nature of the error or the account affected.

Trade Errors referral fees, marketing Although Forum Finance’s goal is to execute trades seamlessly in the manner intended by the client and consistent with its investment decisions, Forum Finance recognizes that errors can occur for a variety of reasons. Forum Finance‘s policy in dealing with such Forum Finance is a fee-only adviser. Forum Finance’s policy is not to accept compensation from third parties relating to the investment advice it gives to its clients. To the extent Forum Finance receives remunerations from third parties in connection with its investment advisory services, it will reduce the fees owed by the respective client to Forum Finance or will credit the respective client’s Account for the applicable amount.

In no case does Forum Finance have discretionary authority to select a qualified custodian for a client’s Account. Item 17. Voting Client Securities Proxy Voting Forum Finance’s employees or associated persons may be invited to attend seminars and meetings with the costs associated with such meetings borne by a sponsoring brokerage firm or other party extending the invitation. Item 15. Custody Forum Finance generally does not have the authority to vote client proxies. Clients make arrangements directly with their custodian to vote proxies for securities or where proxy or other solicitation materials have to be sent to. If Forum Finance inadvertently receives any proxy materials on behalf of a client, Forum Finance will promptly forward such materials to the client. therefore Forum Finance will exercise investment authority for certain corporate actions (such as, but not limited to tenders, rights offerings, splits etc.) in connection with discretionary Accounts. For advisory clients, corporate actions are discussed with them prior to the event taking place. for Clients who have questions about proxies may contact Forum Finance further information. Class Actions Forum Finance typically is given authority to have its fees directly deducted from a client’s account. Consequently, Forum Finance is deemed to have custody of such funds. Forum Finance has established procedures to ensure the client’s account is held at a qualified custodian in a separate account for each client. The client establishes the bank account directly and the qualified is aware of custodian’s name, address and the manner in which investments are maintained. Account statements are prepared by the custodian bank and delivered directly to the client or the client’s representative, generally on a quarterly basis. Generally, these statements include a listing of all valuations and all transactions occurring during the period. Clients should carefully review these statements and compare them with those received from Forum Finance and, when they have questions contact either Forum Finance or the custodian bank. The custodian also generally provides the client with required year-end tax information. inadvertently Item 16.
