Item 4: Advisory Business
Tom Johnson Investment Management, Inc., was founded in 1983 and is based in Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma. Prior to the firm’s formation, several of the investment and administrative staff worked
together at an Oklahoma bank’s Trust Department. In 1992 the firm's principals sold the company to
United Asset Management (UAM). In 2000, UAM was acquired by Old Mutual, plc. In April of 2003, one
of the principals, Richard H. Parry, bought back the company. In 2010, the firm was reorganized from a
corporation to an LLC for tax purposes. Tom Johnson Investment Management, LLC (TJIM), is a
registered Oklahoma Limited Liability Company. In April 2026, Bimini Advisors Holdings, LLC, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Bimini Capital Management, Inc. (OTCQX: BMNM), purchased 80% of the fully
diluted equity interests of Tom Johnson Investment Management, LLC (“TJIM”).
Investment Services
TJIM offers investment services to a broad range of clients, such as pension, profit sharing and
401(K) plans, individual taxable, individual retirement accounts (IRA), foundations, banks, insurance
companies, public funds, corporations, and sovereign funds. TJIM is a fee-only advisor with a fiduciary
duty to provide prudent investment advice to its clients. TJIM does not accept fees or compensation
based on product sales.
TJIM does not have custody or possession of securities or cash of any client. Clients
use institutions such as banks and brokerage firms to perform the custodial duties. The client grants
TJIM permission to trade in their custodial account. This provides control between the client, custodian,
and investment manager to safeguard the client’s assets.
Clients who are not associated with a broker/advisor may give TJIM authority regarding client
directed withdrawal instructions to their custodian for a distribution to a third-party account. Such
authority requires a documented standing letter of instruction signed by the client. This “transaction
account” is subject to all the rules of SEC Regulation S-ID.
TJIM is responsible for decisions and recommendations as to asset allocation and security
selection. TJIM may also be responsible for executing transactions and reviewing the results with the
custodian. In addition, TJIM may provide risk tolerance determination, diversification, asset allocation,
and mutual fund selection services for a fee to clients. In such cases, separate account management may
not be advisable for some of the client’s accounts given unique characteristics or issues such as asset
size, or inherited low cost-basis assets that already exist in the portfolio.
TJIM provides investment management services through 4 different channels. The chart below is
a general summary of the differences and description of each channel.

TJIM Participation in “Wrap-Fee” Programs
TJIM participates in wrap-fee programs on both an advisor and sub-advisor basis. TJIM’s
management of accounts in these programs is the same as the management of an account not in a wrap-
fee program. The wrap-fee charged by a program may include a portion that is paid to TJIM for our
investment management services. Wrap-fee charges may include such other services as: investment
management, consulting, trade execution, performance measurement, client reporting and custody.
TJIM Participation in Model Portfolio Programs
TJIM has contractual agreements to provide model portfolios for use in sponsors’ sub-advised
programs. TJIM does not have individual account management responsibilities. These sponsors are
responsible for determining account suitability, trade discretion and executions and for Form 13F filings.
TJIM is compensated by the sponsors according to assets in the TJIM model portfolios.
Investment Services to Meet the Needs of Clients
Clients, with the assistance of TJIM or financial advisor, should determine their asset allocation
income and growth requirements
risk tolerance
based on:
•
•
• unique circumstances
time horizon
tax implications
• liquidity needs
Based on the above considerations, clients give TJIM asset allocation parameters to manage
portfolios. Additional client requested guidelines may also be required in the management of a specific
portfolio. Examples of these are coordination with other assets, quality ratings, issuer size, issue size,
yield, exclusion of certain types of business or products. Portfolios under TJIM care, whether they are
equity, balanced or fixed, are managed by a team. The accompanying chart illustrates this investment
process.
Four Step Process
1. Identify Objectives
4. Review
Process
3. Investment Evaluation
& Selection
2. Strategy/Asset
Allocation
5
For control purposes, our investment compliance committee reviews with frequency investment
performance, asset allocation, trades to implement model changes, quality ratings, security level
deviation from model holdings and account restrictions to ensure compliance with client and TJIM
guidelines.
Portfolio managers, when reviewing client accounts under their care, consider such matters as:
•
Is the portfolio structured to meet the investment objective?
•
Is the investment objective still suitable for the client?
• Are the policies and procedures of the client being followed?
While accounts adhering to a specific style or model are managed to be homogenous, they may vary in
individual holdings and weights due to deposit or withdrawal timing, tax implications, individual account
restrictions, inherited positions, account size or rounding.
TJIM Additional Services
Financial Planning
TJIM assists some clients with financial planning services, which can include the following:
• Department of Labor (DoL) Fiduciary acknowledgement when providing investment
advice to retirement investors with a SWOT analysis of potential IRA rollovers
Income planning and budgeting
• Asset allocation planning
• Tax planning
• Efficient gifting
• Social Security planning
• Efficient retirement distribution strategies
•
• Analysis using financial planning software
Reporting Services
TJIM offers reporting services for those clients who want to supervise and direct their own
portfolios but do not have the resources to maintain the data. Our reporting capability provides
information:
• For tax reporting
• To assess investment characteristics
• To address documentation and control
Portfolio Reporting
Portfolio reporting provides annual, quarterly and/or monthly information. Reports include:
• Realized gain/loss
• Tax lots
• Transaction history
• Investment performance
Portfolio composition capable of being sorted alphabetically, by industry, market value, unrealized
appreciation and/or yield
Fixed Income Portfolio Analysis
For fixed income investors, a unique analysis for examining the investor’s holdings and risk level
is provided. This may be particularly useful for those who maintain custody accounts with a variety of
institutions.
Reports contain individual securities and aggregate portfolio statistics as well as the range and
structure of such key fixed income variables as:
• Duration
• Quality
• Cash flow
• Callability
• Maturity
• Yield
• Taxability
• Diversification
Such a report enables an investor to assess risk and return on a security level and on an
aggregate basis. TJIM Portfolio Managers are available to meet with clients to explain the reports, make
portfolio suggestions, and to address questions.

TJIM Assets Under Management
As of 12/31/2025, TJIM’s Regulatory Assets under Management: $1,632,586,982
The TJIM Regulatory Assets Under Management (AUM) amount identified above is calculated
according to SEC Form ADV instructions for Item 5.F: “Calculating Your Regulatory Assets Under
Management”. Item 5.F. defines Regulatory Assets Under Management to include “securities portfolios
for which you provide continuous and regular supervisory or management services”, therefore we include
all accounts for which we have access to the underlying portfolio of securities, and we build the trades for
the specific account. We do not include accounts for which we do not build the trades for the account but
rather set a “model” target percentage position and the underlying account is not monitored by TJIM.
This creates a distinction where some Unified Managed Accounts (UMA) are included in AUM and others
are excluded. We exclude UMA portfolios where we do not monitor the underlying portfolio, and we
include UMA portfolios where we monitor and trade the underlying portfolios.
Assets Under Supervision (UMA equity model) $17,102,986
Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Explanation of Services and Fees
TJIM Standard Fee Schedule:
Fees are charged at calendar quarter intervals in arrears based upon the following fee schedule:
1.00% annually of the first $1,000,000 market value
.75% of the next $4,000,000 market value
.60% of the next $5,000,000 market value
.50% of the next $15,000,000 market value
.45% of the next $25,000,000 market value
.40% of the next $50,000,000 market value
Over $100,000,000 is quoted upon request.
Fees may be further negotiated, depending upon a variety of variables.
Investment fees are calculated on a calendar quarter based upon the market value of the assets,
including cash, and excluding accrued income, at the close of the quarter. TJIM fees are charged in
arrears.
Clients may utilize additional services which could result in a negotiated fee. There are
circumstances where a percentage of assets charge does not make economic sense due to the request by
a client for advice on securities, asset allocation and portfolios not included in assets under management
at TJIM. In such circumstances, TJIM and the client will determine in writing an hourly or fixed charge for
such research and recommendation.
Clients in model and wrap programs should be aware of the fees charged which are disclosed in
the program client agreement(s).
Billing Procedures
A client not in a wrap-fee program may be billed directly for TJIM’s fee or may have the fee
debited from their custodial account. If the client elects to have the fee debited, they must give their
authorization to the custodian. TJIM will send to the client a copy of the fee calculation and the amount
to be debited.
Other Types of Fees
Mutual Funds, Exchange Traded Funds, Cash Sweep Vehicles
The client will select a brokerage firm or bank as the custodian. The custodian is responsible for
investing cash reserves that are not invested by TJIM and may provide short-term cash vehicles and
sweep options from which clientele can choose. The custodian may charge a fee that is embedded in the
cash vehicle’s interest rate and might not be disclosed on custodial statements. Any such charges by the
custodian are separate from TJIM's fees. Depending on the custodian there may be a periodic account
7
fee charged by the custodian. Custodian fees may also be charged to the client for transaction costs,
account maintenance and cash/security requests.
Clients who have directed TJIM to hold mutual funds will incur expenses associated with the
fund. While TJIM primarily invests in individual equity securities with no additional fees, at times we may
determine that it is in the client's best interest to purchase Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that have an
additional fee. If TJIM decides to add additional asset class exposure through purchase of an investment
fund, we will focus on finding a low effective cost fund, factoring in expense ratio, discount to NAV, and
uniqueness of exposure.
Investment Fees May Be Paid in Advance
At the request of the client or wrap program, we may receive quarterly fees in advance. When an
account's inception or termination occurs during a calendar quarter, fees are prorated according to the
number of days for which we provided our management service. For terminating accounts which have
prepaid fees, fees are refunded on a prorated basis.
Compensation for Sale or Purchase of Securities
Neither TJIM nor any of its supervised persons receive compensation for the sale or purchase of
securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale
of mutual funds. TJIM is not affiliated with any brokerage firm.
Item 6: Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
TJIM does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on or
capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7: Types of Clients
TJIM has and can provide investment services to a broad range of clients, such as
Individuals
Foundations
Bank Trust Dept (Common Funds)
Corporations
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)
Pensions
Profit Sharing Plans
Insurance Companies
Public Funds
Sovereign Funds
401(K) Plans
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
TJIM has a conservative philosophy for the investing of client assets. TJIM believes that attractive
risk-adjusted performance is best achieved by building a prudent, well-diversified, high-quality portfolio
that addresses capital preservation and risk. TJIM’s over-riding goal is to provide good returns in up markets
while protecting wealth when down markets inevitably occur, which should lead to outperformance over a
full market cycle. Clients should be aware of the following risk factors: equity risk, market risk, manager
risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, purchasing power risk, credit risk, asset allocation risk. There will also
be secondary risk exposure to non-US investment risk, call risk, and investment grade downgrade risk.
Diversification does not protect against losses. There is a risk of loss inherent in any investment. Past
performance does not guarantee future results.
TJIM Investment Process
Our team builds fixed income, equity, balanced and asset allocation portfolios. Our research is a
blend of economic, earnings, and credit analysis which uncovers interesting opportunities. For example,
fixed income price improvement specific to one security has in some circumstances been an early
8
indicator of a credit problem resolution with eventual earnings and stock price improvement. Likewise,
fixed income price deterioration can be an early indicator of an eventual equity decline.
Our process is disciplined. When constructing our equity portfolios, we have always maintained a
respect for diversification and valuation standards. Our focus is to provide attractive returns with less risk
over a market cycle. Regarding fixed income portfolio construction, we strive to optimally balance risk,
return, yield, and liquidity by managing duration, quality, structure, and sector selection. In our fixed
income and equity portfolios, we only buy high-quality individual securities. Our asset allocation
portfolios may utilize ETFs, open-ended or closed end funds to gain exposure to broadly diversified asset
classes at low costs.
This process is illustrated by the following charts.
Equity Analysis
Fixed Analysis
9
TJIM's stature as a boutique investment management firm along with our team-oriented
approach provides clients with enhanced accessibility to the investment decision makers. This allows our
investment process to be nimbler and more opportunistic than larger alternative business models.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
EQUITY (STOCKS)
The accompanying charts illustrate TJIM’s potential equity investment universe and examples of
selected investment criteria.
TJIM Core/Relative Value Stock Portfolio
TJIM’s Core Equity approach adheres to the time-tested and market-weathered principles of
diversification and valuation standards with a goal of providing favorable risk-adjusted returns over a
market cycle. TJIM’s focus is on purchasing equity securities that have valuations lower than their peer
group in industries that provide the best opportunity in the foreseeable future. Under normal
circumstances, portfolios are managed with the following guidelines:
Diversification
• 5% max position size
• Own at least 8 of 11 sectors
• Max sector allocation of 2x the S&P
Or 10%, whichever is larger
Valuation
• Aggregate Price/Earnings less than the
market
• Low price-to-cash flow
• Low price-to-book
• Sum-of-parts analysis
Security Selection
• Primarily large/mid cap companies
• Rigorous fundamental analysis
• Tactical macro-economic opportunities
Risk Management
• Favorable up/down capture
• Unsystematic risk review
• Historically lower standard deviation
than the S&P 500
10
TJIM Diversified Stock Income Portfolio
The primary goal of TJIM’s Diversified Stock Income (DSI) portfolio is to generate a stable and
growing income stream by buying and managing a diversified portfolio of common stocks that pay or are
expected to pay attractive dividends while factoring in future dividend growth. The portfolio has a
secondary goal of appreciation. Under normal circumstances, portfolios are managed with the following
guidelines:
Diversification
Valuation
• Aggregate Price/Earnings less than the
• 5% max position size
• Own at least 8 of 11 sectors
• Max sector allocation of 2x the S&P or
market

• Sum-of-parts analysis

• Unsystematic risk review
• Historically lower standard deviation

11
Why Diversified Stock Income?
There are multiple benefits to dividend focused investing-– increased income, reduced volatility,
an income stream that grows over time, and better downside protection. While the portfolio was
developed to generate a growing income stream and not necessarily to exploit any specific market
inefficiency, by its nature it exploits the intersection of several related market inefficiencies--value
anomaly, low volatility, dividends and dividend growth.
FIXED INCOME (BONDS)
The chart below is an example of the factors TJIM uses in building fixed income portfolios:
Fixed Income Management
TJIM’s fixed income strategies tactically balance total return, income generation, and capital
preservation. Our firm’s conservative investment approach and a focus on maintaining liquidity at the
individual account level establishes minimum quality parameters. Based on our best efforts at purchase,
portfolio issues must have a category A (A3,A-,A-) or better rating by one of the major ratings agencies
(Moody’s, S&P or Fitch).
Of Note: We use our best efforts to identify an issue’s rating at time of purchase for our clients.
Our best efforts include using an issue’s rating provided by Bloomberg or an equivalent information
source available to us at the start of our business day. An issue rating can change at any time during the
day. Our procedures are designed to alert us to a change, but we cannot guarantee we will be alerted to
a change prior to purchase of an issue for a client’s account.
TJIM’s investment team conducts quantitative and qualitative analysis of yield, quality, duration,
and yield curve positioning to identify the most attractive sector(s) within our fixed income universe and
the most attractive securities within each sector.
Prior to any purchase, a review is done of the fundamentals of credit issuers that pass TJIM’s
initial universe screening criteria to ensure adequate cash flow for bond repayment and to identify
unsystematic risks that could signal a material risk to an issuer’s business. Bond issues that pass our
rigorous initial analysis are recommended for portfolio models and subject to TJIM’s ongoing review
process. At the portfolio level, TJIM’s investment team employs proprietary forecasting tools and
scenario analysis models. This analysis identifies optimal portfolio structure and duration positioning
relative to the underlying benchmark and provides a distribution of probable performance outcomes
under different interest rate and economic environments.
TJIM’s investment team combines the individual security analysis, portfolio structure modeling,
and disciplined duration management to build a liquid, diversified portfolio of individual bonds that we
believe is well positioned to outperform, and equally important, is designed to address client cash flow
objectives.
12
TJIM Fixed Income Portfolio
While we do not explicitly forecast interest rates, disciplined duration management is an
important tool in our strategic risk-management process. TJIM typically maintains the TJIM Fixed Income
Portfolio duration within 75% to 125% of the Bloomberg Government/Credit Index, which would imply a
duration range of roughly 5.5 years to 9.5 years. TJIM will generally have a higher duration than the
index when we anticipate lower interest rates and a lower duration when we anticipate higher rates. The
objective of this strategy is to outperform the Bloomberg Government/Credit Index over a business cycle
while providing disciplined risk management.
TJIM Intermediate Fixed Income Portfolio
While we do not explicitly forecast interest rates, disciplined duration management is an
important tool in our strategic risk management process. TJIM typically maintains the TJIM Intermediate
Fixed Income Portfolio duration within 75% to 125% of the Bloomberg Intermediate Government/Credit
Index, which would imply a duration range of roughly 3 years to 5.25 years. TJIM will generally have a
higher duration than the index when we anticipate lower interest rates and a lower duration when we
anticipate higher rates. TJIM limits maturities in this portfolio to a maximum of 10 years, which is
consistent with the underlying benchmark. The objective of this strategy is to outperform the Bloomberg
Intermediate Government/Credit Index over a business cycle while providing disciplined risk
management.
The above two portfolios participate in the universe shaded below.
TJIM Tax Exempt Fixed Income Portfolio
TJIM’s goal is to maximize tax-free income while conserving capital, with a secondary objective of
obtaining satisfactory total return. Given our conservative philosophy, issues must have a category A or
better rating by one of the rating agencies at purchase date. The average maturity of the portfolio will
not exceed 15 years. These portfolios are very client specific in respect to state, tax status, and monthly
income needs. Thus, the dispersion of holdings and returns across portfolios is likely to be greater than
the dispersion of our other fixed income portfolios.
The accompanying charts illustrate TJIM’s tax-exempt investment universe and our preferred
investment criteria.
The above portfolio participates in the universe shaded below.

TJIM Short Term Income Portfolio
TJIM’s goal for this strategy is to maximize income within capital preservation and high liquidity
parameters. The portfolio will consist of a portfolio of high-quality liquid securities with limits to
maturities of 3 years. The objective of this strategy is to maximize income within risk/return parameters
that will minimize price volatility and result in minimal risk of realized losses. The portfolio will generally
be invested in a mix of US Treasury securities, US agency securities, and corporate bonds with an A or
better rating.
TJIM Balanced Portfolio
All of TJIM’s investment expertise comes together in our balanced strategy. A blend of equities
and fixed income in the same portfolio provides significant diversification benefits while easily allowing
rebalancing between stocks and bonds over time. The objective of TJIM’s balanced strategy is to provide
attractive returns while reducing the risk of a pure equity portfolio and generating a stable and growing
income stream. TJIM’s default portfolio is 60% Core Equity and 40% Fixed Income. However, the
portfolio can be tailored to meet individual needs by adjusting the asset allocation or using the more
income-oriented Diversified Stock Income (DSI) and a fixed income portfolio.
TJIM Asset Allocation Portfolios
In certain instances where individual securities don’t make economic sense due to size, trading
costs, frequent cash flows, or diversification needs TJIM has developed multiple models of varying risk
tolerance that utilize ETFs across differing asset classes.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
As a registered investment advisor, TJIM is required to disclose all material facts regarding any
legal or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of TJIM or the integrity of TJIM’s
investment management. Since the inception of the firm in 1983, neither TJIM nor any of its investment
advisory personnel have ever been the subject of disciplinary or legal action.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
We are affiliated with Bimini Advisors, LLC through common ownership and control. Although
these firms are under common ownership, they operate independently and do not share client fees,
clients, or confidential client information. Clients are under no obligation to use the services of Bimini
Advisors, LLC.
14
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions &
Personal Trading
TJIM Code of Ethics
TJIM has a fiduciary duty to its investment clients to act solely for their benefit. Therefore, it has
adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) designed to avoid potential conflicts of interest and to prevent any
conduct in breach of this duty. Accordingly, TJIM will distribute a copy of the Code to each person who is
or becomes an employee of the firm. TJIM employees are required to review and acknowledge receipt of
the Code. Clients or prospective clients may request a copy of TJIM’s Code of Ethics by contacting the
firm at www.tjim.com.
It is the policy of TJIM to establish such rules and guidelines of conduct to prevent actual or
potential conflicts, and to prevent any violations of legal or other duties to clients.
TJIM’s Code of Ethics covers the following:
• Restrictions on securities transactions by employee
• Pre-clearance of personal securities transactions
• Reporting requirements
• Other conflicts of interest: use of inside information, use of gifts and sensitive payments
• Other prohibited transactions
• Background information of “advisory affiliates”
• Review of reports and oversight of the Code of Ethics
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
TJIM and employees of TJIM may be active in securities owned in client accounts. However, in
doing so they must observe the guidelines stated in the Code of Ethics adopted by TJIM and
acknowledged by the employee. TJIM maintains a Code of Ethics and a restricted securities list to comply
with our responsibility to give the interest of client priority over personal transactions. TJIM’s Code of
Ethics does not allow employees of the firm to engage in principal or agency trading. Compliance is
monitored by reviewing employee custodial statements.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Recommending Broker/Dealers for Client Transactions
For accounts in which TJIM is given full discretion over the broker to be used, brokers are
evaluated on such criteria as:
• Execution quality
• Commission costs
• Contact and service
• Trade Away Capability
Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits
Currently TJIM has no formal or informal arrangements in place with brokerage firms with
regards to the amount of commission business TJIM should direct to them for research or other benefits.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
From time to time, registered representatives of brokerage firms may refer one or more of their
established clients to TJIM and the account may direct TJIM to use the referring brokerage firm in
connection with the execution of the client's trades.
Directed Relationships
Expense rates (commissions, wrap fee, and money market sweep vehicle expenses) for many of
our clients are determined by the client's existing association with an adviser, consultant, or brokerage
15
platform and/or their particular representative (i.e., broker, investment consultant, financial planner). In
most cases, these institutions perform a variety of services such as custody, manager search and
selection, performance monitoring and appraisal, evaluation of conformity with investment policies and
financial planning exercises. The client and the representative negotiate a fee based upon the services
rendered.
When a client selects TJIM and desires to also be on such consultant or brokerage platforms,
TJIM may be unable to further negotiate trading expenses, obtain volume discounts or achieve best
execution. Under these circumstances, a disparity in net trading outcomes may exist between what is
achieved for clients who direct TJIM to use a particular platform and those who do not.
Trading and Allocation
The goal of TJIM's trading department is to minimize the trading price differential between
accounts in order to minimize performance dispersion, thus minimizing market impact and obtaining the
best price available given the specific trade circumstances.
As a fiduciary to each client, TJIM owes each client the same duty of loyalty. Consistent with this
duty, TJIM does not give one client or a group of clients’ preference over others. This is particularly true
when we trade the same security for several client accounts. However, it is generally not possible to
execute all trades in the same security for all client accounts simultaneously.
TJIM has developed appropriate, predetermined allocation procedures to minimize the risk that
any particular client would be systematically advantaged or disadvantaged by the aggregation or
allocation of orders and to promote fairness and equity for all clients.
TJIM utilizes a random selection process for determining trade order. In addition to this process,
TJIM also takes into consideration best execution factors including execution capability of brokers, market
efficiency, and issue liquidity. The TJIM’s trading desk initiates trades in random order based on a
random selection process for discretionary clients and notifies “model portfolio” platforms that execute
their own trades at their appropriate “turn” based on the outcome of random order selection. This
process provides clients equitable treatment while also working to achieve the best execution on actual
trades. The TJIM Compliance Committee reviews the results of this process to ensure equitable
treatment.
Once TJIM's Investment Committee makes a portfolio decision, the trading department is
responsible for generating the orders across all accounts, printing tickets, randomizing trades, and
executing trades. With the exception of partial fills, all TJIM's allocations are done prior to the actual
trade taking place. This process alleviates the issue of trades being allocated to client accounts after a
gain/loss is known. Partial fills, though very rare, may occur. In this instance TJIM will allocate trades on
a pro-rata basis for wrap accounts but may not allocate pro-rata to commission accounts to avoid paying
an extra commission. For partial fills with commission accounts, TJIM will typically allocate the trade to
spread the fill across as many accounts as possible. Partial fills for bond trades may not be feasibly
allocated pro-rata due to minimum piece/minimum increment trading restrictions on certain bonds (e.g.,
many corporate bonds have a 2,000 minimum piece/1,000 minimum increment). In these instances, TJIM
may use random allocation if it is deemed the fairest method to allocate a partial fill across accounts.
TJIM will typically aggregate trade orders for a client with those of one or more other clients if it
is deemed appropriate to do so and if such aggregation is consistent with both TJIM’s duty to seek best
execution for its clients, as well as the terms of the firm’s investment advisory agreement with its clients.
It should be noted however, that TJIM’s decision not to or failure to aggregate orders does not violate its
duty of best execution or its duty to allocate trade opportunities fairly and equitably. When trade orders
of clients are aggregated, the actual prices applicable to the aggregated orders are generally averaged,
and all participating accounts are deemed to have purchased or sold their respective shares of the
security involved at such average price.
TJIM's trading department has the responsibility of implementing all investment committee
decisions in a manner most advantageous to our clients. Technological and operational improvements
have made the execution process more efficient. However, it is still our opinion that each investment
decision and the resulting securities transactions must be treated as a dynamic and unique occurrence.
Although the automation and real time data provides improved measurement and response capabilities, it
16
is the overall experience and competence of our trading department that ensures TJIM clients receive
optimal trade execution.
Where TJIM has full discretion, fixed income trades are executed on a net basis. Bids and offers
are gathered from competing firms and are executed when the levels offered are in-line with TJIM’s
trading department’s expectations.
With respect to the execution of over-the-counter equity trades, it is generally the policy of TJIM
to execute those trades at best all-in-cost to the client for the securities involved. Additionally, as part of
TJIM’s effort to seek best execution for our clients, we may aggregate orders to facilitate trades.
Principal or Agency Cross Securities Transactions
TJIM will never act as principal in client trades, meaning we will never buy or sell securities
directly to or from client accounts.
TJIM does not initiate cross trading of securities between client accounts.
Trade-Aways for Wrap Sponsor Fixed Income Accounts
TJIM may trade-away fixed income from a wrap sponsor when we believe we can receive better
executions. TJIM has two types of trades: (1) “Across the Board” trades, which are trades that are
executed for essentially every account within that style due to a team decision to buy or sell a certain
security, and (2) individual trades that happen for individual accounts due to opening, closing,
withdrawals, deposits, taxes, or other account specific issues. Individual trades are typically traded with
the sponsor trading desk under the wrap arrangement. “Across the Board” trades are sometimes traded
away from the sponsor desk in an effort to achieve better execution. Trade aways or “step-out” trades
will likely entail an undisclosed mark-up or mark-down not covered by the wrap agreement, however it is
TJIM’s intent to only trade away when the all-in execution quality (considering both speed and price) is
better to that provided by the sponsor desk. TJIM generally will only trade away when there isn’t an
explicit cost charged by the custodian or sponsor, except in the case of municipal securities, where bonds
are often only available with one source, and a trade away is necessary to obtain those bonds.
Trade Error & Corrections
TJIM has established error correction procedures which provide that the resolution of all errors
be made consistent with TJIM’s fiduciary duties. TJIM’s general policy is to resolve all errors impacting
client accounts so that, to the extent possible, affected accounts are restored to the condition they would
have been in had the error not occurred.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
See TJIM’s client account review under Item 4. Advisory Business, Investment Services to Meet
the Needs of Clients.
Portfolio Reporting to Investment Advisory & Management Clients:
Clients are furnished the following quarterly (or monthly upon request) reports detailing their
specific account:
• Security holdings arranged by asset category and industry classification, including cost and
market value, percentage breakdown, and yield.
• A chronological transaction history detailing purchases and sales, income received and cash flow
• A year-to-date realized capital gain/loss schedule
• A summary of performance including total and sector returns compared to the applicable
benchmark of the performance style. (Equity and fixed income sector performance will reflect
only the equity or fixed securities’ performance, it will not include any cash allocation. TJIM’s
discretionary cash decisions are reflected only in the total portfolio return. A blended equity and
fixed income index may not necessarily be reflective of an accounts’ asset allocation history.)
• Quarterly an investment commentary reviewing the last quarter and discussing the current
economic and investment environment. This commentary is also available to clients on the TJIM
website (www.tjim.com).
17
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Referral Arrangement
TJIM does not have any agreements for client referrals or compensation.
Other Compensation
As a fiduciary, TJIM must act in each client’s best interest. TJIM may recommend and/or
clients/advisors may direct that a client custody their assets with a particular custodian. TJIM may have
access to additional products and services. Such products and services may include economies of scale,
software and other technology that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations
and account statements), and/or facilitate trade execution such as allocation of aggregated trade orders
for multiple client accounts, research, pricing information and other market data, payment facilitation of
TJIM’s fees from its clients’ accounts, and assistance with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client
reporting.
Other services may be made available to TJIM to assist in managing and further developing its
business enterprise. These services may include consulting, publications, and conferences on practice
management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, and marketing.
Custodian institutions may make available, arrange and /or pay for these types of services
rendered to TJIM by independent third parties. They 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 TJIM. TJIM acknowledges that this arrangement may create a potential conflict of interest.
Item 15: Custody
TJIM does not have custody of client cash or securities. Selection of a custodian, either a
bank or brokerage firm, to secure cash and securities is at the discretion of the client. This provides good
control between the client, custodian and investment manager to safeguard the client’s assets.
In some cases, TJIM may be given the authority to pass on client directed withdrawal instructions
to a custodian for a distribution to a third-party account. Such authority requires a documented standing
letter of instruction signed by the client. This “transaction account” is subject to all the rules of SEC
Regulation S-ID.
The client should receive at least quarterly statements from the custodian who holds and
maintains the client’s investment assets. TJIM urges each client to carefully review and compare
this official custodial record to the account statement that we may provide to you. Our
statement may vary from the custodial statement based on accounting procedures, reporting dates or
valuation methodologies of certain securities. TJIM’s internal procedures include reconciling custodian
statements to our internal account data monthly.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
TJIM accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of clients. This
authority is granted to TJIM by the client through an executed limited power of attorney with the client’s
selected custodian.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, TJIM observes the investment policies,
limitations, and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. Investment guidelines and restrictions are
provided to TJIM through client meetings and/or written communications.
Limitations on Investment Discretion
Limitations on the authority of TJIM to determine without specific client consent the securities
and amounts of securities to be bought and sold are imposed only by the established investment
objectives, parameters, and restrictions of each individual client or by the state and local laws governing
certain accounts. Each account is managed individually in accordance with its limitations.
While most accounts have no limitations, some impose such limits as no foreign investments,
dividend requirements, or percentage limitation on individual and industry holdings. Some accounts also
set equity, fixed income, and cash equivalent parameters.
18
Other limitations are self-imposed by TJIM in the equity and fixed income portfolio model
guidelines available for client selection, see Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies
and Risk of Loss.
Item17: Voting Client Securities – Proxy Voting Policy
Proxies have economic value and must be voted in accord with the best investment interest, stated
objective, and preferences if stated or known, of the investor, participant(s), or beneficiary(ies) of an
account. As an investment advisor, we have the responsibility with respect to voting proxies unless such
responsibilities are specifically and properly reserved to others (i.e., clients, custodians, trustees). To vote
such proxies requires adequate examination of the underlying issues. Guidelines for major proxy-related
issues have been adopted from Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS). Periodically, revisions will be
made by select individuals on our investment staff dependent upon the unique circumstances at hand.
Procedures
1. At which time new clients are accepted, it will be determined in the investment advisory agreement
who has the voting proxy authority. This will be documented and properly coded in our new business
organization form. Preferences stated by the investor, participant(s) or beneficiary(ies) are to be
documented and easily referenced.
2. Maintain a record of stock held.
3. Correspond periodically and when appropriate with custodians to receive timely receipt of proxies.
4. Reconcile proxies received with the stock held on record date.
5. Maintain records of how proxies are voted and why.
6. Vote proxies in a timely manner and be reviewed by the investment compliance committee.
Analysis of Proxies
1. Review of proxies is to be done normally by appropriate sector analyst. Proxy research is provided
by Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS).
2. Specific proposals are evaluated against the history and productivity of current management as well
as the conceptual reasons for or against the proposal.
3. Make written note of any deviation from any stated policy relating to specific issues.
• TJIM security analysts may vote with the policies as noted below however they also have the
choice to decline further incentives to directors, officers, and or employees based on their
combined attitude about dilution impact, performance, and management of a particular
company. Maintaining status quo and not diluting further the profitability or ownership
structure does not require further notation by the analyst.
• TJIM security analyst may vote with the ISS policies, however they also have the choice to
consider if management’s efforts are sufficient (particularly in the areas of social
responsibilities). Identifying efforts as sufficient does not require further notation by the
analyst.
4. Make note of any contacts from plan sponsors or issuers with staff related to proxy voting functions
and the actions taken.
5. Note any specific conflicts of interest and how handled.
Clients may obtain a copy of TJIM’s complete proxy voting policies and procedures upon request.
Clients may also obtain information from TJIM about how TJIM voted any proxies on behalf of their
account(s).
Item 18: Financial Information
TJIM has no financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

Employee Transition Planning
TJIM recognizes that our primary added value to our clients comes from the experience and
efforts of our staff. Incentive packages are in place to address the needs of the employee and reward
successful individual and team effort and results.
Additionally, our team is very cognizant of the importance of laying a foundation for employee
transition. We want to ensure that the workflow is motivating and that experience is passed on to new
employees.
We also have proactive plans in place to address approaching retirements as they arise.
Wherever possible our approach involves a multi-year transition to address client service and retention
sufficiently and successfully, and investment performance, which are the critical key result areas for our
organization. This multi-year process may result in slowly increasing flexible office hours and a reduction
in other responsibilities.
An important part of our planning for investment personnel retirement is also identifying and
hiring new members for our team. TJIM is aware of a broad talent pool of potential employees through
industry contacts and through our internship program with local business schools. A new hire has either
extensive investment analysis and portfolio management experience or has the educational credentials
and work background which we believe indicate the potential to become a successful portfolio manager,
trader, and investment analyst. The latter type of person typically starts with our firm as a trainee trader.
Portfolio Managers seeking to become full voting members of the investment committee will be
encouraged to continue their education and to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
charterholders.
TJIM Commitment to Employees
At TJIM, our commitment is to create a workplace that is both positive and productive for all our
employees, regardless of their backgrounds or identities. We place a high value on treating everyone with
dignity and respect, ensuring that all our employees have access to favorable benefit packages, and
enabling them to participate in our profit-sharing arrangements. Our record of very low personnel
turnover is a testament to the success of our corporate effort in this regard.
In addition to our focus on creating an excellent work environment, we are also committed to
making a positive impact on our local community. Our staff and company make both monetary and
volunteer contributions, and we have an internship program that allows us to support the next generation
of professionals.

Registered Program. The coursework covers the financial planning subject areas CFP Board has
determined are necessary for the competent and professional delivery of financial planning
services, as well as a comprehensive financial plan development capstone course. A candidate
may satisfy some of the coursework requirement through other qualifying credentials. CFP Board
implemented the bachelor’s degree or higher requirement in 2007 and the financial planning
development capstone course requirement in March 2012. Therefore, a CFP® professional who
first became certified before those dates may not have earned a bachelor’s or higher degree or

requirements to remain certified and maintain the right to continue to use the CFP Board
Certification Marks:

commitment to CFP Board, as part of the certification, to act as a fiduciary, and therefore,
act in the best interests of the client, at all times when providing financial advice and
financial planning. CFP Board may sanction a CFP® professional who does not abide by this
commitment, but CFP Board does not guarantee a CFP® professional's services. A client
who seeks a similar commitment should obtain a written engagement that includes a
fiduciary obligation to the client.
