Item 4 Advisory Business
Thinagee Investments Inc (TII) was incorporated in 2011. The firm is registered in the state of MD as a
Registered Investment Adviser. Kapil Shiohare is the owner of Thinagee. Kapil Shiohare is the Portfolio
Manager and supervises the day-to-day activities in client portfolios. He has received his MBA from
American University, Washington DC. He also has received a Master’s in Commerce from Nagpur
University India. He has been in the investment advisory business since 2003.
TII provides investment management services to individuals, families and their related entities, trusts and
estates. TII works with clients to define financial objectives and to develop strategies for reaching those
objectives. In designing investment strategies for clients, TII solely relies on information supplied by the
client pertaining to the client’s financial situation, objectives, and time horizon and risk tolerance. This
information becomes the basis for formulating a strategic asset allocation plan which the
advisor believes best meets the clients long term stated goals. Each client is advised that it remains
his/her responsibility to promptly notify TII when there is any change in his/her financial situation and/or
financial objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising previous recommendations
and/or services.
TII provides services in developing investment policy, portfolio design, security selection, preparation of
account paperwork, investment education, and account review/rebalancing as required. Asset class
investments are generally made through individual stocks, no-load mutual funds, alternative investments
and other diversified asset pools which the manager deems appropriate. In selecting these assets, TII
gives due consideration to fundamental and qualitative analysis, past performance, transaction fees,
expense ratios, and management style. Portfolio weighting between funds and asset classes will be
determined by each client's individual needs and circumstances. TII does not participate in Wrap Fee
program.
Clients always retain individual ownership of all securities. Prior client approval is not required for
investment transaction placed by TII on behalf of the client, including any transactions to rebalance the
client's portfolio. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities if
they wish. TII receives 100% of its advisory billings from services in this category.
The firm’s compensation is solely from fees paid directly by clients. The firm does not receive commission
based on the client’s purchase of any financial product, including insurance. No referral fees are paid or
accepted. We may recommend other professionals (e.g., lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, real
estate agents, etc.) at the request of the client. Other professionals are engaged directly by the client on
an as-needed basis even when recommended by TII. Conflicts of interest will be disclosed to the client
and managed in the best interest of the client. As of December 2024, TII had $261,200,000.00 in
discretionary assets under management, $4,200,000.00 in non-discretionary assets under management
and 40 clients.

Item 5 Fees and Compensation
The specific manner in which fees are charged by TII is established in a client’s written agreement with TII.
For its advisory services, TII charges an annual fee based on percentage of assets under Management as
per the following Fee Schedule, paid quarterly in arrears, computed based on the value of the portfolio at
last day of each quarter. TII will directly deduct the quarterly fees from client's accounts in the first few
days of Jan, April, July, and October. Fees for the initial and final billing periods will be prorated for the
number of days management services were provided. The fee is negotiable based upon portfolio size and
other business considerations. Clients may also choose to receive an invoice and pay for the advisory
services from an outside account not managed by TII.
When clients pay an asset under management fee based on the assets under management versus the net
value of an account (1) they might pay additional fees for securities bought on margin and (2) that the
adviser has a conflict of interest when securities are bought on margin because this will increase advisory
fees. Clients may choose not to have margin on their brokerage account to prevent any conflict of interest.
Standard Fee Schedule:
1% on the appraised value of the first $1,500,000 of Assets under Management
0.75% on the appraised value of the next $1,000,000 of assets under management and
0.5% on the appraised value of any additional assets under management
If the fee is paid directly from the Fee Account, TII shall send to the Client and the Custodian, at the same
time, a bill showing the amount of the fee, the value of the Client's Account(s) upon which the fee was
based and the specific manner in which the fee was calculated.
Refund of Fees:
If this Agreement shall not commence at the beginning of a calendar quarter, the Client will be charged
one-third or two-thirds of the quarterly fee depending upon the number of full months in the quarter the
assets will be under management. In the event the Agreement is terminated, TII will charge a portion of
the quarterly fee on a pro-rata basis equal to the number of days the assets were under management in
such quarter.
TII fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses
which shall be incurred by the client. Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of
certain mutual funds, stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds. Mutual funds and exchange traded
funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges,
fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to TII’s fee, and TII does not receive any portion of
these commissions, fees, and costs.
Please see the section entitled “Brokerage Practices” for more information.

Item 6
Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
TII does not use a performance-based fee structure because of the potential conflict of interest.
Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the adviser to recommend an investment that
may carry a higher degree of risk to the client. However, the nature of asset-based fees allows TII to
participate in the growth of the client’s wealth. This also means that our fees can decline when the client’s
portfolio declines in value.
6
Item 7
Types of Clients
TII intends to provide investment management services to high-net-worth individuals, families and their
related entities, trusts, estates, and corporate pension and profit-sharing plans. Client relationships vary
in scope and length of service.
TII generally requires a minimum account size of $2,000,000. However, smaller accounts are accepted
from time to time at the discretion of the management.

Item 8
Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis
Security analysis methods at TII include fundamental analysis and Modern Portfolio Theory. The main
sources of information include company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, annual
reports, Morningstar reports, fund prospectuses, S&P reports, Argus reports, Thompson Reuters Stock
Reports, financial newspapers and magazines, research materials prepared by others,. PM also attend on-
and off-site visits with fund and portfolio managers, conference calls, and industry conferences.
Fundamental analysis involves the analysis of financial statements, the general financial health of
companies, and/or the analysis of management or competitive advantages. Modern Portfolio Theory
attempts to maximize the expected portfolio return for a given level of risk (or minimize the risk for a
given level of return) by carefully choosing the proportions of various assets and through diversification.
Investment Strategies
The primary investment strategy used for client accounts is strategic asset allocation. TII may use
passively managed index and exchange-traded funds when appropriate for the client and actively-
managed funds, dividend paying stocks, and bonds where there are opportunities to make a difference by
security selection. Portfolios are generally globally diversified to control the risk associated with
traditional markets.
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives, income needs, and tax situation
stated by the client during consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. The client’s
goals and objectives are recorded during meetings and via correspondence with the client. Each client
portfolio is constructed solely for that client. We do not use model portfolios, and we do not utilize
composites to illustrate results.
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment approach keeps
the risk of loss in mind. However, as with all investments, clients face investment risks including the
following: Loss of Principal Risk, Interest-rate Risk, Market Risk, Inflation Risk, Currency Risk, Reinvestment
Risk, Business Risk, Liquidity Risk, and Financial Risk.
Risks of Specific Securities Utilized
Equity investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks in return for receiving a future payment of
dividends and capital gains if the value of the stock increases. The value of equity securities may fluctuate
in response to specific situations for each company, industry market conditions and general economic
environments.
Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money
investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. The funds can be of
bond (fixed income) nature or stock (equity) nature, or a mix of multiple underlying security types.
Alternative Investments: Investors considering an investment strategy utilizing alternative investments
should understand that alternative investments are generally considered speculative in nature and may
involve a high degree of risk, particularly if concentrating investments in one or few alternative
investments. These risks are potentially greater and substantially different than those associated with
traditional equity or fixed income investments.

Item 9
Disciplinary Information
Registered Investment Advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of TII or the integrity of TII’s management.
TII has no information applicable to this Item as the firm and its employees have not been involved in any
legal or disciplinary events related to past or present activities.

Item 10
Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither TII nor any of its management persons are registered, pending to register, as a broker-dealer or a
registered representative of a broker-dealer.
Neither TII nor any of its management persons are registered, pending to register, as a futures commission
merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity advisor, or an associated person of the foregoing entities.
Neither TII nor any of its management persons have any relationship with any related person that is
material to TII’s advisory business.
TII does not recommend or select other investment advisers for clients for compensation.
10
Item 11
Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
TII is not required to maintain a code of ethics and the following is not its code of ethics.
TII conducts its operations keeping in mind the following tenets:
A. Putting the clients’ interest first
B. Objectivity
C. Confidentiality
D. Competence, Fairness and Suitability
E. Integrity and Honesty
F. Regulatory compliance, full disclosure, and professionalism.
PERSONAL TRANSACTIONS
TII or related person does not recommend to clients, or buys or sells for client accounts, securities in which
it or a related person has material financial interest. Officers and other related persons from time to time
purchase in their own accounts investments they recommend to the clients. This may cause a conflict of
interests. However, TII's policies and procedure guide states
" To prevent any potential conflicts of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest with respect to
personal transactions, members of TII staff, with knowledge of pending or proposed transactions, shall not
be permitted to execute personal transactions on any securities (stocks, bonds, and mutual funds) on
behalf of their personal account prior to the execution of trades for TII client accounts. Personal
transactions include those made for an individual’s own account, family accounts, and accounts in which
the individual has a direct or indirect financial interest.
Individuals must not initiate trades in a security that is a pending or proposed transaction until 48 hours
have lapsed from the time the security transaction was executed or cancelled for TII client accounts."
TII or related person do not recommend clients to buy or sell for client accounts any security in which it or
related person has a material financial interest.
11
Item 12
Brokerage Practices
Since TII, primarily intends to use Charles Schwab as its custodian for the safekeeping of Client assets, it
shall recommend Charles Schwab as a broker to all of its clients. Clients are expected to use a broker
recommended by the company. This would improve the efficiency and effectiveness in managing the
client’s account, improve our service and results, and potentially reduce the client’s transaction cost as we
will typically have a better negotiated commission with the broker than the client can receive on their own.
TII does not receive any portion of the trading fees.
The client would however make the final decision on the broker/dealer or custodian to be used for
safekeeping and executing transactions for their assets.
The custodians may provide TII with other services intended to help TII, manage and further develop its
business enterprise. These services may include publications and presentations on practice management,
information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, and marketing materials. Providing of
such services by the custodian to TII creates a conflict of interest since TII does not have to bear the
expenses of creating research reports or compliance and marketing materials. These benefits are standard
in a relationship with these custodians and are not in return for specific client recommendations or
transactions. However, TII, by choosing Schwab over other broker, may be unable to achieve most
favorable execution of client transactions. Such practice may cost client more money. As part of its
fiduciary duties to clients, TII at all times puts the interests of its clients first.
TII compares various factors, like transactions costs, reliability, and service standards while determining the
reasonableness of the broker-dealer's compensation. As always, TII puts its client's interest ahead of any
other benefits it may receive by doing business with a broker-dealer.
To the extent that TII provides investment management services to its clients, the transactions for each
client account generally will be affected independently, unless TII decides to purchase or sell the same
securities for several clients at approximately the same time. TII may (but is not obligated to) combine or
“bunch” such orders to obtain best execution, to negotiate more favorable commission rates or to allocate
equitably among TII’s client’s differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might
have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure, transactions will be
averaged as to price and will be allocated among clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders
placed for each client account on any given day. TII shall not receive any additional compensation or
remuneration as a result of such aggregation.
12
Item 13
Review of Accounts
The frequency of account reviews depends on client profile, account activity, investment objective changes
or account restrictions. Systematic review of all client accounts would be conducted at least two to three
times a year. A review may be triggered by client request, changes in market condition, new information
about an investment, changes in tax laws, or other important changes.
Investment Analyst/Portfolio Manager performs the review. Generally quarterly meetings are expected to be
held with clients. At least one annual meeting/call would be held to get an objective & profile overview and
also to update the portfolio strategy. An account would also qualify for a review if it deviates significantly
from its targeted asset allocation. No fixed number or accounts would be assigned to the PM. All taxable
accounts are expected to undergo special tax review before the end of the year.
TII would provide detailed written portfolio statements to its clients every quarter. Monthly reports would be
sent at request.
Each report would include:
1. Current Asset Allocation Graph;
2. Account Summary;
3. Name, number of shares and Current value of all the positions held in the account;
4. Transaction Ledger detailing each and every transaction that has occurred in the account in the previous
quarter. The transaction ledger shows the securities bought/sold, commission charged, interested earned,
management fee charged and any other account activity.
Clients would receive monthly, quarterly, and/or year-end statements from the custodian. Clients will also
receive trade and other account confirmations from the custodian.
13
Item 14
Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Incoming Referrals: TII and its related persons do not directly or indirectly compensate any person for
client referrals.
Referrals to Other Professionals: TII does not accept referral fees or any form of remuneration from other
professionals when a prospect or client is referred to them.
14
Item 15
Custody
TII does not take custody of client’s assets.
Account Statements All assets will be held at qualified custodians, who would provide account statements
directly to clients at their address of record on a monthly basis. Clients are encouraged to carefully review
the statements provided by their custodians.
Statements Provided by TII: Clients are at times provided account statements that are generated from our
portfolio management system. TII urges you to carefully review such statements and compare such official
custodial records to the account statements that we may provide to you. Our statements may vary from
custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates, or valuation methodologies of certain
securities.
Note: The account custodian does not verify the accuracy of the TII’s advisory fee calculation.
15
Item 16
Investment Discretion
Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Investment Management Contract, TII is not required
to obtain specific client consent regarding specific securities to be bought or sold into the accounts.
However, the client does select a specific investment objective and TII would buy securities for the client's
account in accordance with the investment objectives of the client.
Generally, TII would try to meet the client every quarter and inform the client about potential trades in their
accounts. However, TII assumes all investment duties with respect to assets held in the account and has
all investment powers including sole investment authority with respect to such assets and may take any
action or non-action as it deems in the best interest of the client.
Clients may place reasonable restrictions on the inclusion of specific securities, or categories of securities,
in their accounts. Clients may also instruct TII to sell or not to sell particular securities for the purpose of
realizing a capital loss or capital gain.
16
Item 17
Voting Client Securities
Unless the client designates otherwise, TII votes proxies for securities over which it maintains discretionary
authority consistent with its proxy voting policy. Clients may contact TII to discuss any questions they may
have with a particular solicitation or if they would like to direct their vote in a certain manner. They may
also contact TII to obtain information about how we voted their proxy. This can be done by submitting a
written request to the portfolio manager.
General Policy
We, at TII, have always believed that proxy voting rights are valuable portfolio assets and an
important part of our investment process, and we exercise our voting responsibilities solely with
the goal of serving the best interests of our clients as shareholders of a company. In determining
how to vote on any proposal, we will consider the proposal’s expected impact on shareholder
value and will not consider any benefit to us, at TII, or our employees or affiliates.
We consider the reputation, experience and competence of a company’s management when we
evaluate the merits of investing in a particular company, and we invest in companies in which we
believe management goals and shareholder goals are aligned. Therefore, on most issues, we cast
our votes in accordance with management’s recommendations. This does not mean we do not care
about corporate governance. Rather, it is a confirmation that our process of investing with
shareholder aligned management is working. However, when we believe management’s position
on a particular issue is not in the best interests of shareholders, we will vote contrary to
management’s recommendation. In exercising its voting discretion, TII shall avoid any direct or
indirect conflict of interest raised by such voting decision. TII will provide adequate disclosure to
the client if any substantive aspect or foreseeable result of the subject matter to be voted upon
raises an actual or potential conflict of interest to the Advisor.
Proxy Voting Guidelines
Management has established a number of proxy voting guidelines on various issues of concern to
investors. Our voting guidelines generally address issues related to boards of directors, auditors,
equity-based compensation plans, and shareholder rights. A complete section on Proxy Voting
Guidelines can be found in our Policy & Procedures Manual. Clients can obtain a copy of the
proxy voting policy and procedure by submitting a written request to the Portfolio Manager.

Item 18
Financial Information
Financial Condition:

commitments to clients. A balance sheet is not required to be provided because TII does not serve as a

client, six months or more in advance. TII has not been the subject of a bankruptcy in the past ten years.
ANY QUESTIONS: TII's Portfolio Manager remains available to address any questions that a
client or prospective client may have regarding the above disclosures and arrangements.
