Item 4. ADVISORY BUSINESS
Company
United American Securities, Inc. is an independent, privately-held New York corporation
founded in 1987 by Shahin and Bahman Mossavar-Rahmani.
United American Securities, Inc. conducts its investment advisory business under the name “UAS
Asset Management”. UAS Asset Management has been providing investment advisory services
as an SEC-registered investment adviser since 1988. Throughout this brochure, UAS Asset
Management is referred to as either “UAS” or the “firm”.
Principal Owner
The principal owner of UAS is Bahman Mossavar-Rahmani.
Services
UAS provides investment management services through separately managed accounts and,
currently, to Kitty Hawk Investment Partners, LP, a private investment partnership organized as a
pooled investment vehicle (the “Fund”).
Separately Managed Accounts
At the commencement of an advisory relationship with a prospective client, UAS will execute a
written investment advisory agreement with the client addressing topics such as the investment
policy for the account, any risk guidelines applicable to the account to the extent such are
communicated by the client, the scope of investment discretion granted to UAS and the
compensation payable to UAS and the manner of payment. UAS may invest its clients’ assets in
stocks, bonds, mutual funds, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and other investment vehicles as
UAS determines is appropriate based on a client’s investment policy.
UAS primarily manages accounts on a discretionary basis, though it also provides advice to
certain clients on a non-discretionary basis. A client may place reasonable restrictions on the
types of investments that UAS may make on the client's behalf.
The Fund
At present, UAS is the managing member of Kitty Hawk Management, L.L.C., the general
partner of the Fund (the “UAS Affiliated Entity”). UAS also serves as investment manager to the
Fund.
Because of the “pooled” nature of the Fund, investors in the Fund may not impose restrictions on
the Fund’s investments in certain securities or types of securities.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2025, the total regulatory assets under management of UAS is approximately
$493,027,562, $483,786,608 of which is managed on a discretionary basis, and $9,240,954 of
which is managed on a non-discretionary basis.

Item 5. FEES AND COMPENSATION
Separately Managed Accounts
UAS charges its separately managed account clients an investment management fee pursuant to a
written investment advisory agreement with each client specifying the terms of such fees and the
manner in which they will be charged.
UAS typically charges each separately managed account client an investment management fee
based on the value of the client account’s assets under management, in accordance with the below
schedule:
Assets in the Separately Managed Account
Investment Management Fee
(as an annual % of assets)
1.50%
of the first $500,000
1.25%
of the next $2.0 Million
1.00%
of the next $2.5 Million
0.75%
of assets over $5 Million
The actual fee charged to a client may be different from the fees shown below depending upon
such factors as the size and complexity of the client's account, and other business considerations.
When the fee specified in the advisory agreement is different from above, the advisory agreement
prevails. Market value will be determined by the account custodian. As each account is managed
separately, UAS does not combine the value of related accounts when applying the above break
points for the purpose of calculating management fees. However, UAS reserves the right to do so
for certain clients in its sole discretion.
Many of UAS’ clients have been with the firm for a couple of decades or longer. During its long
period in servicing client accounts, UAS has had different fee schedules in effect and, in general,
has not changed the fee structure for legacy accounts. For this and other reasons, different clients
may be subject to different fee schedules.
Management fees for each account will be calculated as of the end of each quarter by applying
one quarter of the relevant annual fee percentage to the account’s closing market balance.
Management fees are generally paid as of the end of each calendar quarter. Management fees are
prorated for capital contributions and withdrawals made during the applicable quarter. Accounts
initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee. Upon termination
of any account, any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable.
At the option of a client, fees may be paid directly by the client (per submitted invoice) or UAS
may be authorized by the client to deduct fees directly from the client’s account by instructing the
custodian to debit the client’s account for the benefit of UAS’ account. A large majority of UAS
clients have selected the second method.
In certain circumstances, UAS may recommend that a separately managed account client invest a
portion of its assets in the Fund. To the extent that a separately managed client wishes to proceed
with this recommendation, a potential conflict of interest may exist as the management fees
and/or performance fees or allocations for fund investors at the Fund level may be higher or lower
than those at the separately managed account level for a given separately managed account client.
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026

In certain situations, such as in case of an IRA account, the investment in the Fund may be
reported as a part of the separate account by the custodian. In such situations, UAS will waive
fees at the separately managed account level with respect to those assets so as to avoid double
charging the client.
The Fund
UAS receives an asset-based management fee from the Fund which is paid quarterly in arrears
and calculated at the rate of 1.0% per year of each limited partner’s capital account. The
management fee is pro-rated for any period that is less than a full calendar quarter.
Additionally, the UAS Affiliated Entity receives 20% of each limited partner’s share of net
profits in excess of a hurdle rate, provided, however, that certain other performance measures are
also met. The incentive reallocation is made at the end of each fiscal year (or at the time of a
withdrawal by a limited partner with respect to the withdrawn amount) and is subject to certain
performance goals and reallocation restrictions, all of which are set forth in more detail in the
Fund’s offering documents.
Important Additional Fee Information
No Commissions by UAS
UAS clients pay commissions for trades in their accounts based on the commission rates in effect
by their custodians or designated brokers. UAS does not charge any markups or additional fees
for such transactions.
UAS conducts business with Pershing LLC, a subsidiary of Bank of New York Mellon, and
custodian for most of its client accounts. Pershing is an independent qualified custodian.
Fees Negotiable
With respect to separately managed account clients, UAS retains the right to offer and negotiate
different terms related to fees in its sole and absolute discretion on a client-by-client basis based
on such factors as the size, complexity and nature of the advisory services provided and other
business considerations.
Prior Fee Schedules
As noted above, the management fees charged to clients whose assets have been managed by
UAS prior to 2010 may differ from the fees charged to new advisory clients.
Direct Debiting of Separately Managed Accounts
In order for management fees to be directly debited from a client’s account, in addition to
selecting this option in the Advisory Agreement, the client must provide authorization to its
custodian permitting UAS to deduct fees from the client’s custodial account. In addition, the
account must be held by a qualified custodian and the qualified custodian must agree to send to
the client an account statement on at least a quarterly basis.
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
4
Termination of Client Relationship
The investment advisory contracts are ongoing and do not have fixed terms. Either party may
terminate an advisory contract at any time. If a managed account relationship is terminated
during a quarter, the management fee will be prorated to reflect the number of days in that quarter
for which UAS provided services and will be due upon termination. While UAS does not impose
any fees or penalties for termination of accounts, the relevant account’s custodian may impose
such fees.
Fees and Expenses of Underlying Investments
To the extent that client assets are invested in investment companies such as mutual funds or
ETFs, including money market funds, the firm’s fees for managing those assets are in addition to
the fees included in the internal expenses of those funds paid to their own investment managers,
which are disclosed in each fund’s prospectus. Accordingly, the client should review both the
fees charged by the funds and the fees charged by UAS to fully understand the total amount of
fees paid by the client and evaluate the advisory services being provided. A client could invest
directly, without the services of UAS, and thereby avoid an additional layer of fees.
Trading and Other Costs
All fees paid to UAS for investment advisory services are separate from, and in addition to,
transaction fees charged by broker dealers associated with the purchase and sale of equity
securities and options. Furthermore, such fees do not include the services of any co-fiduciaries,
accountants, broker dealers or attorneys that the client may engage to assist the management of
the Client’s assets.
Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as
custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and
electronic fund fees, check issuance, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and
securities transactions. A schedule of all such fees charged by Pershing is available upon request.
Such fees and charges are subject to change by Pershing without the need for approval from
UAS.
Clients who select their own brokers assume the responsibility for fees and charges (for example,
trading commissions) that the selected broker may impose on the accounts. Such fees are likely
to be different from, and may be higher than, those paid by the majority of UAS accounts which
use Pershing as their custodian.
Please see Item 11 of this brochure for additional information on brokerage and other transaction
costs.
Item 6. PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
As stated in Item 5 above, the UAS Affiliated Entity is eligible to receive a performance-based
allocation from the Fund in its capacity as general partner of the Fund. UAS receives
performance-based compensation from certain separately managed account clients. The relevant
performance-based compensation amount is determined in accordance with the terms of the
applicable investment advisory agreement with the separately managed account client.
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
5
Situations – such as those described above – where UAS manages both accounts that pay
performance-based compensation and accounts that do not pay performance-based compensation,
where UAS manages accounts that are subject to different performance-based compensation
rates, or where UAS manages multiple accounts which are subject to different management fee
arrangements, including different management fee rates, may give rise to certain conflicts of
interest that have the potential to motivate UAS to favor those clients from which it or its affiliate
receives higher performance-based compensation, or any performance-based compensation, or
higher management fees over other clients. For example, performance-based compensation, in
periods it is earned, may be significantly higher than the asset-based fees received by UAS from
its other clients. Furthermore, as most separately managed account clients do not pay
performance-based compensation, UAS may be incentivized to recommend that these clients
invest in the Fund to increase UAS’s performance-based compensation from the Fund. Further,
UAS may focus more time and attention on the separately managed account clients that are
subject to higher management fee and performance-based compensation rates.
UAS and its related persons have significant investments in the Fund in addition to their
portfolios managed in separate accounts. As a result, they may have additional incentives to
favor the Fund over other clients. Finally, because performance-based compensation is not paid
unless UAS achieves a certain level of performance, the performance reallocation arrangement
may create an incentive for UAS to make investments in the Fund that are riskier or more
speculative than might be the case in the absence of performance-based compensation.
UAS has implemented policies and procedures reasonably designed to mitigate these conflicts of
interest and ensure the fair allocation of investment opportunities among clients. UAS provides
its clients with investment management services based upon the strategy outlined in the
applicable advisory agreement or offering materials. To the extent clients share similar strategies,
they are likely to hold a number of overlapping investments. UAS seeks to allocate investment
opportunities among clients with similar strategies in a fair and equitable manner. However,
because of the differences in certain determinative factors (including client mandated
restrictions), invested positions and investments among client accounts will sometimes differ.
UAS monitors individual client portfolios on a continuous basis, paying attention to the particular
objectives, requirements and risk profile of each individual client.
With a few exceptions explained further in this brochure, all trades in a particular security on any
given day are processed through an average-price account ensuring that all clients and related
accounts receive the same price for transactions involving that security. Clients who have
directed UAS to use a broker other than Pershing, however, will most likely receive a different
price for the same security traded on the same day.
UAS does not participate in any IPO allocations and generally does not trade in thinly-traded
securities.
Item 7. TYPES OF CLIENTS
UAS provides investment advisory services to individuals (including high net worth individuals)
and their related entities such as trusts, estates and retirement plans. In addition, UAS offers
investment management services to both for-profit and not-for-profit corporations and their
pension plans, pension plans of municipalities and other public entities, endowments, charitable
organizations and foundations.
UAS also provides management services to a pooled investment vehicle.
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026

Engaging the Services of UAS
Separately Managed Accounts
All clients wishing to engage UAS for investment advisory services must sign an investment
advisory agreement that governs the relationship with UAS.
A client has an ongoing responsibility for ensuring that UAS is informed in a timely manner of
changes in the client’s investment policy and risk tolerance. There is no investment minimum for
investing through a separately managed account.
The Fund
Investors in the Fund are required to complete and submit a limited partnership agreement and
subscription agreement, which may or may not be accepted by the UAS Affiliated Entity in its
sole and absolute discretion. Any initial and additional investment minimums are disclosed in the
Fund’s offering memorandum.
Item 8. METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS
Types of Investments
Investments implemented by UAS will typically be limited to domestic and foreign equity
securities, American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”), corporate debt securities, municipal and
United States government securities, ETFs and mutual funds, although UAS reserves the right to
invest in other types of investments, to the extent that such investment is consistent with a
particular client’s investment policy.
Investment Strategies
Separately Managed Accounts
UAS pursues an investment strategy that seeks to deliver reasonable growth without undue risk to
principal, recognizing, however, that neither reasonable growth nor safety of principal can be
guaranteed. Stocks are subject to different kinds of risk, including individual company risk and
market risk, which cannot be fully mitigated (please see important risk disclosures below).
However, UAS attempts to reduce equity risks by investing primarily in established companies
having strong fundamental characteristics. One particular feature of the firm’s investment
strategy is relatively higher levels of concentration. The UAS strategy of concentrating in
relatively fewer, judged to be superior, positions is intended to achieve better performance results,
but carries the risk of greater decline in the event of poor stock selection.
To accommodate clients who desire bond exposure, UAS will invest client assets in bonds issued
by governments or municipalities, and established companies with strong fundamentals (e.g.,
financial strength).
Factors that may affect differential performance of client portfolios following similar strategies
include, but are not limited to: the timing and amount of cash deposits and withdrawals into and
from the account, pricing and timing differences in purchase of securities for different accounts,
the possibility that UAS may not purchase or sell a particular security for an account, differentials
in the percentages of different securities comprising a portfolio, differences in management fees
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
7
and expenses, and restrictions imposed by client on the management of the account. In addition,
clients that select a specific broker may experience different commission rates and other fees.
UAS does not attempt to track or outperform any specific index or benchmark.
The Fund
The investment strategy employed by UAS in its capacity as investment manager of the Fund is
riskier and more speculative than that used for its separately managed account clients. Investors
in the Fund may lose a substantial part, or potentially even all, of their capital invested in the
Fund. In addition to the more traditional types of investments, in its management of the Fund,
UAS is also permitted to use margin (borrow capital from brokers with its equity as collateral);
derivatives (such as call and put options); short selling (selling a security the account does not
own); and employ higher levels of concentration (one stock may account for a high percentage of
the total portfolio). UAS typically engages in more frequent trading when implementing its
investment strategy for the Fund.
Security Analysis
The method of securities analysis used by UAS to implement its investment strategies is
commonly referred to as “fundamental” analysis. Fundamental analysis is a method of evaluating
securities by attempting to measure the intrinsic value of a stock. Fundamental analysts study
such factors as the overall economy and industry conditions as well as the financial condition and
management of companies. Accordingly, UAS bases its investment decisions primarily on its
assessment of a company’s value to its shareholders and its ability to create positive returns for its
potential shareholders based on the prices at which its shares can be obtained in the market,
within the relevant time horizon for the investor.
The investment approach taken by UAS does not rely on “technical” analysis. Technical analysis
is the evaluation of securities by means of studying statistics generated by market activity, such as
past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic value,
but instead, use stock charts to identify patterns and trends that may suggest what a stock’s price
will do in the future.
Sources of Information
UAS relies on its own internal research for selection of stocks, bonds and other investments such
as mutual funds and ETFs. In conducting its research, UAS may consult the following sources of
information: a variety of general and specialized financial and business publications, research
materials prepared by others, corporate actions and strategies, corporate rating services, annual
reports, prospectuses, SEC filings and company press releases. In addition, the portfolio managers
of UAS may also conduct direct, first-hand research, consult specialist advisors or purchase
research products provided by other analysts. UAS does not publish research reports of its own.
Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that each client should be prepared to bear.
Typical investment risks include company risk typified by a drop in a security’s price due to a
company-specific event (e.g., unsystematic risk), or general market activity (e.g., systematic risk).
In addition, certain strategies may impose more risk than others. For example, with fixed income
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
8
securities, a period of rising interest rates could erode the value of a bond since bond values
generally fall as interest rates rise.
Investment risk with international equities also includes fluctuation in currency values;
differences in accounting rules, regulations, and reporting standards; different corporate
governance procedures and standards; and potential economic and political instability.
As mentioned earlier, UAS’s investment strategies involve an additional risk of concentration as
client accounts may contain fewer positions and/or be exposed to fewer sectors than the broad
market or indices related to the market as a whole.
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
Equity-based ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. If the stocks tracked within an
ETF decline due to weakening fundamentals, crumbling technical support, global events, or any
other market fluctuations, the value of the ETF will go down. Furthermore, ETFs include
additional risks associated with the way they are structured or sponsored. Fixed income-based
ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of bonds such as increasing interest rates. An ETF may
also be adversely affected by the performance of the specific sector or group of industries on
which it is based. Moreover, although ETFs are designed to provide investment results that
generally correspond to the price and yield performance of their underlying indices, ETFs may
not be able to exactly replicate the performance of the indices because of various sources of
tracking error, including their expenses and a number of other factors. Client accounts investing
in an ETF will bear their pro rata share of the ETF’s fees and operating expenses, which are in
addition to any fees or other compensation paid to UAS. Investment returns will fluctuate and are
subject to market volatility, so that an investor's ETF shares, when sold, may be worth more or
less than their original cost.
Options
There are numerous risks associated with transactions in options on securities or securities
indexes. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and
judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful because of market
behavior or unexpected events. In its management of a client’s assets, UAS may engage in the
trading of derivatives, including writing call and put options, which could result in substantial
losses for the client. UAS generally does not use options in the management of separately
managed client accounts.
Margin Transactions
When buying stocks on margin, an advisor employs leverage as an investing strategy. Leverage
allows an advisor to extend its financial reach by investing using borrowed funds while limiting
the amount of cash it expends. This can, however, involve a high degree of risk. Some of these
risks include:
Losing more money than the advisor has invested;
Being required to deposit additional cash or securities in the account on short notice to cover
fallen prices and lower valuations;
Being forced to sell some or all of the advisor’s securities when falling stock prices reduce
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
9
the value of its securities; and
Having the investor’s brokerage firm sell some or all of its securities without consulting the
investor to pay off the loan it made.
UAS generally does not use margin in the management of separately managed client accounts.
Private Investment Funds
Investments in private investment funds, including the Fund, involve various risks and liquidity
constraints, a discussion of which is set forth in the Fund’s offering documents, which will be
provided to each investor and potential qualified investor for review and consideration. Each
prospective investor will be required to complete a subscription agreement, pursuant to which the
investor shall establish that they are qualified for investment in the Fund, and acknowledges and
accepts the various risk factors that are associated with such an investment. The Fund’s
investment strategies include frequent trading, use of leverage, concentration, small capitalization
and foreign companies, and occasionally, derivatives and short selling. In addition to the factors
mentioned above, the Fund imposes restrictions on the withdrawal of assets as described in its
offering documents.
Frequent Trading and Investment Performance
Strategies involving frequent trading of securities can affect investment performance through
increased brokerage and other transaction costs and taxes.
Cash Management
At any given time, the cash portion of a client’s account, while awaiting investment or re-
investment, may be swept into a money market account so as to earn additional returns. As
mentioned earlier, clients in effect pay additional management fees for such amounts.
UAS accounts may be subject to inflation risk. Inflation risk is the risk that the value of
investments or income from investments will be lower in the future as inflation decreases the
value of money.
Additional Risks Relating to UAS
Cybersecurity Risk
The information and technology systems of UAS and of key service providers to UAS and its
clients, including banks, broker-dealers, custodians and their affiliates, may be vulnerable to
potential damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and
telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches, usage
errors by their respective professionals, power outages and catastrophic events such as fires,
tornadoes, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes. For instance, cyber-attacks may interfere with the
processing or execution of UAS’s transactions, cause the release of confidential information,
including private information about clients, subject UAS or its affiliates to regulatory fines or
financial losses, or cause reputational damage. Additionally, cyber-attacks or security breaches
(e.g., hacking or the unlawful withdrawal or transfer of funds), affecting any of UAS’s key
service providers, may cause significant harm to UAS, including the loss of capital. The use of
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
10
artificial intelligence by third-party service providers or counterparties could amplify
cybersecurity risks. Similar types of cybersecurity risks are also present for issuers of securities
in which UAS may invest. These risks could result in material adverse consequences for such
issuers, and may cause UAS’s investments in such issuers to lose value. Although UAS has
implemented various measures designed to manage risks relating to these types of events, if these
systems are compromised, become inoperable for extended periods of time or cease to function
properly, it may be necessary for UAS to make a significant investment to fix or replace them and
to seek to remedy the effect of these issues. The failure of these systems and/or of disaster
recovery plans for any reason could cause significant interruptions in the operations of UAS or its
client accounts and result in a failure to maintain the security, confidentiality or privacy of
sensitive data, including personal information, which may result in identity theft.
Risk Management Failures
Although UAS attempts to identify, monitor and manage significant risks, these efforts cannot
take all risks into account and there can be no assurance that these efforts will be effective. The
risk management approach employed on behalf of clients may be incomplete or altogether
ineffective. Any inadequacy or failure in risk management efforts could result in material losses
to clients.
Systems and Operational Risk
UAS relies on certain financial, accounting, data processing and other operational systems and
services that are employed by UAS and/or by third-party service providers, including prime
brokers, the third-party administrator, market counterparties and others. Many of these systems
and services require manual input and are susceptible to error. These programs or systems may
be subject to certain defects, failures or interruptions. For example, UAS and its clients could be
exposed to errors made in the confirmation or settlement of transactions, from transactions not
being properly booked, evaluated or accounted for or related to other similar disruptions in the
clients’ operations. In addition, despite certain measures established by UAS and third-party
service providers to safeguard information in these systems, UAS, clients and their third-party
service providers are subject to risks associated with a breach in cybersecurity which may result
in damage and disruption to hardware and software systems, loss or corruption of data and/or
misappropriation of confidential information. Any such errors and/or disruptions may lead to
financial losses, the disruption of the client trading activities, liability under applicable law,
regulatory intervention or reputational damage. The systems and operational risks described
herein may be amplified by developments in artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies, such as
machine learning and generative AI.
Effects of Health Crises and Other Catastrophic Events
Health crises, such as pandemic and epidemic diseases, as well as other catastrophes that interrupt
the expected course of events, such as natural disasters, war or civil disturbance, acts of terrorism,
power outages and other unforeseeable and external events, and the public response to or fear of
such diseases or events, have and may in the future have an adverse effect on clients'
investments and UAS’s operations. For example, any preventative or protective actions that
governments may take in respect of such diseases or events may result in periods of business
disruption, inability to obtain raw materials, supplies and component parts, and reduced or
disrupted operations for client portfolio companies. In addition, under such circumstances the
operations, including functions such as trading and valuation, of UAS and other service providers
could be reduced, delayed, suspended or otherwise disrupted. Further, the occurrence and
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
11
pendency of such diseases or events could adversely affect the economies and financial markets
either in specific countries or worldwide.
Item 9. DISCIPLINARY HISTORY
This item is inapplicable.
Item 10. OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
UAS is the managing member of the Affiliated Entity, which is the general partner of the Fund.
Certain investors in the Fund are also members of the UAS Affiliated Entity and as such receive a
portion of the performance compensation paid by the Fund.
UAS and its related persons may recommend an investment in the Fund to a separately managed
account client if UAS believes that such investment is suitable for such client.
The Fund may enter into agreements with certain prospective or existing limited partners
whereby such limited partners may be subject to terms and conditions that are more advantageous
than those set forth in the Fund’s offering memorandum. For example, such terms and conditions
may provide for special withdrawal rights; a reduction or rebate in fees or withdrawal penalties to
be paid by the limited partner and/or other terms; and such other rights as may be negotiated by
the Fund and such limited partners. The modifications are solely at the discretion of the Fund and
may, among other things, be based on the size of the limited partner's investment in the Fund or
affiliated investment entity, an agreement by a limited partner to maintain such investment in the
Fund for a significant period of time, or other similar commitment by a limited partner to the
Fund.
Item 11. CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
UAS has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) for all supervised persons of the firm
describing its high standard of business conduct and fiduciary duty to its clients. All supervised
persons at UAS must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually and when it is
amended.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and
interests of the employees of UAS will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest
of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing
employees to invest for their own accounts. The Code of Ethics requires employees to pre-clear
transactions in any initial public offerings or private investments. Nonetheless, because the Code
of Ethics permits employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that
employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. UAS
seeks to address conflicts of interests between UAS and its clients by restricting the types of
investments that employees can make in their personal accounts (see below) and periodically
monitoring employees’ trading activities. Employees are required to disclose their securities
transactions on a quarterly basis. In addition, employees are required to disclose the holdings in
their personal accounts upon commencement of employment with UAS and on an annual basis
thereafter. Trading in employees’ personal accounts is reviewed by Ali Granmayeh (the “Chief
Compliance Officer”) and compared with transactions for client accounts.

Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
Using its discretion in managing client accounts, UAS purchases and sells publicly traded
securities (such as stocks, bonds, ADRs, mutual funds and ETFs). Frequently, it may purchase or
sell the same securities for its own or related accounts as it purchases for client accounts. UAS
believes that this practice aligns its interests with those of its clients. UAS does not believe that
such transactions result in a material adverse impact on the securities held in client accounts, as
they are generally highly liquid with significant trading volumes.
In general, employees must take the same position as that taken for a separately managed account
client (e.g., the employee may not take a long position in an issuer with respect to which a
separately managed account holds a short position). However, as the Fund is managed based on a
different strategy with more frequent trading than those of UAS’ separately managed account
clients, the Fund may buy or sell securities while one or more separately managed account clients
are doing the opposite, and, in this regard, an employee may take a position that differs from that
taken by a separately managed account if the employee is an investor in the Fund.
The quantity, timing of purchase or sale and holding period for any securities transaction are
based on the requirements of each separate client account. Since all of the accounts under the
firm’s management have different sizes, were initiated at different times and under different
market conditions, and may have different risk profiles and objectives, no two of them may have
exactly the same composition of stocks and bonds, the same buying prices or identical
performances. Accordingly, UAS may buy a security for one client account while it is selling
that security for another client account (for example, if the client for which UAS is selling the
security requires additional liquidity). Because of the difference in composition of the various
accounts under the firm’s management and the different objectives and risk profiles for each, a
significant amount of time and attention is devoted to account calibration, which is the process of
bringing core positions of stocks and bonds in each individual account to the firm’s target ranges.
This is a gradual process which on any given day might only affect a few accounts.
On the other hand, a wholesale adjustment of core positions might cause buying or selling
transactions in most or all of the accounts managed by UAS in a single day. On such occasions,
UAS strives to treat all of its clients fairly and offer any advantages that it might reasonably
detect to its clients, ahead of its related accounts.
A key feature of the firm’s policy of fair and equal treatment of all accounts is the use of an
“Average Price Account” for all of the firm’s trades. In this manner, all purchases and sales of
securities executed for the firm are first booked in the Average Price Account and then allocated
to client and related accounts. Therefore, all accounts that participate in a transaction on a given
day, be they client accounts, firm accounts or related accounts, receive the same execution price
for the security. This price will be the average price for all the trades of that security executed for
the firm on that day. In this manner, the firm seeks to eliminate the possibility of a price
disadvantage for any client as compared to another client or to a related account.
There are a few exceptions to this process, and trades are sometimes placed directly in the client
account rather than through the Average Price Account. Such circumstances would include but
not be limited to: the liquidation of the account based on a client’s instructions; a sale of
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
13
securities following transfer from other brokers; a sale/redemption of mutual fund positions;
shorter settlement orders (same day or next day settlement) necessitated by a client’s need for
immediate cash; trading of securities not present in other client accounts (typically securities
transferred-in by the client); a sale pursuant to a client’s request for cash; or a trade pursuant to
specific instructions by a client for the purchase or sale of a security. Under such circumstances,
prices obtained for such trades are likely to be different from those in the Average Price Account
and they may be more or less favorable to the Client with the special request.
As mentioned above, for clients choosing to have trades placed with a broker of their choosing,
the option of an Average Price Account will not be available. For those clients, therefore,
execution prices are likely to differ from those for trades placed through Pershing, and the
execution prices may be more or less favorable than those for trades placed through Pershing.
When buying or selling securities, UAS may use estimates for the total number of securities
needed for all accounts and attempt to reach an exact number before the close of trading. When
an exact number is not arrived at before the close of trading, allocations to client and related
accounts are done after the close. In such situations, UAS considers such factors as the amount of
cash available in each account, a target percentage for the security based on the total value of the
account and the account’s risk profile, client restrictions, and other such factors. UAS avoids the
use of fractional shares and does not use a formulaic approach for such allocations. The
allocation process, therefore, inherently involves judgment – just as discretionary management of
the account does.
Similarly, when implementing a buy or sell program for a security, UAS may try to reach the
target percentage over a period of a few days or weeks rather than all at once. This approach may
result in multiple executions of sell or buy orders for the same security in a client (or related)
account. Insofar as each trade incurs commission costs, multiple trades increase transaction costs
for the client. Perhaps more important is that the prices at which such trades are executed are
likely to be different, with some more advantageous for clients than others. This lack of certainty
on the price movement combined with lack of interest on the part of UAS in any commissions
mitigates the possibility of unfair treatment of client and related accounts.
UAS has a strong underlying commitment to always act in the best interests of our clients and to
place their interests above all other considerations. This, of course, is in line with our fiduciary
obligations. UAS believes that its own success depends on the extent to which it can help its
clients prosper. UAS has a very long-term horizon, both in terms of buying and holding stocks
(subject, of course, to ongoing review and fundamental evaluation) and building its business and
client base. Everything UAS does, therefore, is intended to create value for its clients over the
long term.
Principal or Agency Cross Transactions
It is the firm’s policy that UAS will not effect any principal or agency cross transactions for client
accounts. UAS will also not cross trade between client accounts.
Additional Information
At times, UAS or its related persons may purchase securities that it deems appropriate only for its
or their own account. Based on the experience of UAS or its related persons holding the securities
and on further research and due diligence, UAS may at a later time purchase such securities for
client accounts at prices which might be higher or lower than those originally paid for own or
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026

related accounts. In addition, as the Fund is managed on a more speculative basis, the Fund may
contain positions that are not held for any other account.
UAS and its employees may give and/or receive gifts, services or other items to/from any person
or entity that does business with or potentially could conduct business with or on behalf of UAS.
UAS has adopted policies and procedures governing gifts and business entertainment, which
includes disclosure of gifts and business entertainment in excess of certain de minimis thresholds
and pre-clearance by the Chief Compliance Officer prior to giving/receiving gifts above a certain
de minimis threshold.
UAS or its related persons, in the course of its investment management and other activities, may
come into possession of confidential or material nonpublic information about issuers, including
issuers in which UAS or its related persons have invested or seek to invest on behalf of clients.
UAS is prohibited from improperly disclosing or using such information for its own benefit or for
the benefit of any other person, regardless of whether such other person is a client. UAS
maintains and enforces written policies and procedures that prohibit the communication of such
information to persons who do not have a legitimate need to know such information and to assure
that UAS is meeting its obligations to its clients and remains in compliance with applicable law.
In certain circumstances, UAS may possess certain confidential or material, nonpublic
information that, if disclosed, might be material to a decision to buy, sell or hold a security, but
UAS will be prohibited from communicating such information to the client or using such
information for the client’s benefit. In such circumstances, UAS will have no responsibility or
liability to the client for not disclosing such information to the client (or the fact that UAS
possesses such information), or not using such information for the client’s benefit, as a result of
following UAS’ policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurances that it is
complying with applicable law.
Item 12. BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Best Execution
When placing portfolio transactions for client accounts, the primary objective of UAS is to obtain
the best price and best execution, taking into account the costs, promptness of execution and other
qualitative considerations. To that end, UAS has elected to clear through one of the securities
industry’s leading clearing firms, has striven to establish and maintain an excellent working
relationship with that clearing firm and has rapid access to the clearing firm’s trading departments
through computer, telephone and fax services.
Pershing provides regular reports of its execution performance. When a client directs UAS to use
a specified broker-dealer to execute all or a portion of the client’s securities transactions, UAS
treats the client direction as a decision by the client to retain, to the extent of the direction, the
discretion UAS would otherwise have in selecting broker-dealers to effect transactions and in
negotiating commissions for the client’s account. Although UAS seeks to act in a manner
consistent with its policy of seeking best execution, it may not be possible for UAS to do so with
respect to such accounts, in which case UAS will continue to comply with the client’s
instructions.
In addition, UAS cannot use average prices for clients who direct brokerage even if they have the
same designated broker.

Broker Analysis
UAS evaluates a wide range of criteria in seeking the most favorable price and market for the
execution of transactions. These include the broker-dealer’s trading costs, efficiency of execution
and error resolution, financial strength and stability, capability, positioning and distribution
capabilities, information in regard to the availability of securities, trading patterns, statistical or
factual information, history and experience in the business, and prior performance in serving
UAS.
If UAS determines in good faith that the amount of trading costs charged by a broker-dealer is
reasonable in relation to the value of the research and brokerage services provided by such
broker, the client may pay trading costs to such broker in an amount greater than the amount
another broker might charge.
UAS periodically reviews its transaction costs in light of current market circumstances and other
relevant information.
Research/Soft Dollar Benefits
Pershing charges brokerage commissions and transaction fees for effecting certain securities
transactions. Commissions and transaction fees charged by Pershing may be higher or lower than
those charged by other custodians and broker/dealers.
UAS receives access to research and other products or services other than execution from a
broker-dealer in connection with client securities transactions. This is known as a “soft dollar”
relationship. UAS limits the use of “soft dollars” to obtain research and brokerage services to
services that constitute research and brokerage within the meaning of Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Section 28(e)”).
In this regard, UAS has an arrangement with Pershing Advisor Solutions through which Pershing
provides UAS with its “platform” services. The platform services include, among others,
brokerage, custodial, administrative support, recordkeeping, and related services that are intended
to support advisors such as UAS in conducting business and serving the best interests of clients.
These services may also be considered a benefit to UAS, which may otherwise have to pay for
such items at its own expense.
As part of the arrangement, Pershing also makes available to UAS, at no additional charge, or at a
reduced fee, certain research services, including research services obtained by Pershing directly
from independent research companies. UAS has not requested such services and research reports
and generally does not use them. In addition, Pershing also makes available to UAS, at no
additional charge, trading software which UAS uses to enter trade orders and allocations for
client accounts.
The use of client commissions to obtain research and brokerage products and services raises
conflicts of interest. For example, UAS will not have to pay for the products and services itself.
This creates an incentive for UAS to select or recommend a broker-dealer based on its interest in
receiving those products and services.
Pershing (and other brokers selected by clients) also offers online access to UAS’ clients for a
range of information regarding their accounts. Such information includes but is not limited to
account statements, tax documents, trade confirmations, and occasional market commentary.
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
16
Such services are determined by Pershing without consultation with UAS and are subject to
change at Pershing’s sole discretion.
In fulfilling its duties to its clients, UAS endeavors at all times to put the interests of its clients
first. Clients should be aware, however, that the firm’s receipt of economic benefits from a
broker-dealer creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the firm’s choice of
broker-dealer over another broker-dealer that does not furnish similar software, systems support,
or services.
Brokerage Selection
UAS acts solely as investment adviser for its clients. Unless otherwise instructed by clients, UAS
typically opens new accounts for its clients with Pershing (a subsidiary of BNY Mellon) which
acts as a qualified custodian and broker for client accounts. UAS believes that Pershing has the
experience, financial stability, trading capability, market access, delivery and impartiality to
provide most favorable price and execution for brokerage orders in a manner that is consistent
with the best interests of our investment advisory clients. UAS regularly reviews and assesses
Pershing’s commission schedules and quality of execution to determine whether its clients
continue to receive favorable pricing and services. However, clients may choose to direct
transactions to their broker of choice.
Pershing has a commissions and fee schedule which it offers to the firm's clients based on a
contractual agreement with UAS. These fees are subject to change from time to time.
As the terms and prices for Pershing’s services are subject to change, UAS periodically reviews
these arrangements to determine whether an alternative method is recommended.
UAS's advisory management fees are separate from, and in addition to, fees and charged by
Pershing's Advisor Solutions or other brokerage firms selected by clients.
Client Directed Brokerage
Certain clients may direct UAS to use particular brokers for executing transactions in their
accounts. With regard to client directed brokerage, UAS may be unable to negotiate
commissions, block or batch orders or otherwise achieve the benefits described above, including
best execution or cost savings resulting from aggregation of orders. Furthermore, there may be
discrepancies in the prices of securities reported by directed brokerage compared to Pershing
which may result in variations in portfolio valuations and management fees based on such
valuations. Directed brokerage commission rates may be higher or lower than the rates UAS
might pay for transactions in non-directed accounts. Therefore, directing UAS to use a particular
broker-dealer to effect transactions may result in certain costs or disadvantages to the client. Such
arrangement may also benefit the client as compared to other UAS clients.
UAS encourages each client to compare the possible costs or disadvantages of directed brokerage
against the value of custodial or other services provided by the broker to the client in exchange
for the directed brokerage designation.
Trade Aggregation/Allocation
It is the objective of UAS to provide a means of allocating trading and investment opportunities
between advisory clients on a fair and equitable basis and in compliance with all applicable state
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
17
and federal guidelines. UAS will aggregate orders consistent with the firm’s duty to seek best
execution and in accordance with the investment objective of each client. UAS seeks to ensure
that no client account will be unfairly favored over any other account. In general, each client that
participates in an aggregated order will participate based on the average execution price in that
particular security. Please see Item 11 for further details of this process.
Item 13. REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Reviews
The investment committee continuously reviews the firm’s list of stocks that are approved for
inclusion in client accounts. Currently, the standing members of the investment committee are
Bahman Mossavar-Rahmani, Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Ali Granmayeh, and Darius
Mossavar-Rahmani, head of research. (Please see the Advisor’s Brochure Supplement for more
detailed information.)
Separately, the firm’s risk manager and the investment committee monitor client accounts on a
regular basis, with attention to the particular objectives, requirements and risk profile of each
individual client.
Currently, Bahman Mossavar-Rahmani is the firm’s portfolio manager and CIO. Darius
Mossavar-Rahmani is the chief analyst and head of research. In addition, Ali Granmayeh acts as
risk manager and reviews activity and performance in all client accounts on a regular basis.
Trades are reviewed each day. Every client is interviewed at the outset of the advisory
relationship to determine their needs and overall financial situation. The above procedures are
identical for fixed-income and balanced portfolios.
Reports
For each separately managed account client, confirmation of trades will be delivered by Pershing
or by the client’s designated broker/custodian through regular mail or in digital form per client’s
instructions no later than one day after the trade is made, unless the client has chosen to receive
quarterly confirmation reports. Clients also receive monthly account statements from Pershing or
their designated brokerage/custodial firm that holds their account. Moreover, UAS will furnish
clients with annual or quarterly statements of account upon written request and/or based on the
requirements of each account.
With respect to the Fund, investors receive reports from the Fund pursuant to the terms of the
Fund’s offering documents.
Item 14. CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
Additional Economic Benefits
UAS has an arrangement with Pershing Advisor Solutions through which Pershing provides UAS
with their “platform” services. The platform services include, among others, brokerage,
custodial, administrative support, recordkeeping, and related services that are intended to support
intermediaries such as UAS in conducting business and serving the best interests of clients.
These may also be a benefit to UAS, which may otherwise have to pay for such items at its own
expense, which may create an incentive to select or recommend Pershing based on these
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
18
“platform” services and other qualitative factors rather than the lowest commission rates, which
may result in higher transaction costs than would otherwise be attainable.
Client Referrals
From time to time, UAS may retain independent solicitors to refer clients to UAS. Such
arrangements will be pursuant to a written agreement clearly stating that the independent solicitor
is not an employee of UAS and cannot provide investment advice to clients. If a client is
introduced to UAS by an independent solicitor, UAS may pay that solicitor a cash referral fee in
accordance with applicable requirements and regulations under the Advisers Act, and any
corresponding state securities law requirements. Any such referral fee shall be paid solely from
the firm’s portfolio management fee, and shall not result in any additional charge to the client.
If the client is introduced to UAS by a solicitor, the solicitor, at the time of the solicitation, shall
disclose the nature of his/her solicitor relationship with UAS, and shall provide each prospective
client with a copy of this brochure together with a copy of the written disclosure statement from
the solicitor to the client disclosing the terms of the solicitation arrangement between UAS and
the solicitor, including the compensation to be received by the solicitor from UAS.
Currently, UAS does not utilize services of any independent solicitors.
Item 15. CUSTODY
Separately Managed Accounts
All client funds and securities are held for safekeeping and recordkeeping at unrelated qualified
custodians (e.g., Pershing). Clients will receive account statements at least quarterly from a
broker-dealer, bank or other qualified custodian and clients should carefully review those
statements. UAS may also provide periodic reports to clients reflecting performance of their
portfolios among other factors. Clients should compare all such information with statements
received directly from the custodian. From a regulatory perspective, UAS is deemed to have
custody of client funds and/or securities when it is authorized to deduct its management fee
directly from those client accounts.
The Fund
UAS and the UAS Affiliated Entity are deemed to have custody over the assets of the Fund due to
the UAS Affiliated Entity serving as the general partner of the Fund. UAS complies with Rule
206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act by meeting the conditions of the pooled vehicle annual audit
provision.
Item 16. INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Separately Managed Accounts
UAS’s investment advisory agreement with each discretionary client provides UAS with written
discretionary authority to make the following determinations without obtaining the prior consent
of the client: (1) which securities are bought and sold for the account; (2) the total amount of
securities to be bought and sold; (3) the broker or dealer with whom orders for the purchase or
sale of securities are placed for execution, unless specifically instructed to the contrary through
the investment management agreement or investment policy statement; and (4) the prices (and
UAS Asset Management
Effective Date: March 31, 2026
19
commission rates established by broker/custodian) at which securities transactions are effected.
The firm’s authority in making investment related decisions for a particular client may be limited
by the guidelines, investment objectives and trading restrictions applicable to the client’s account,
as agreed between UAS and the client and set forth in writing in the investment management
agreement.
The Fund
As investment manager of the Fund, UAS is solely responsible for researching, selecting and
monitoring investments and in making decisions on when and how much to invest with or
withdraw from a particular investment. Limited partners in the Fund do not have any right to
participate in the Fund’s management or in making investment decisions for the Fund. In
addition, UAS has authority to select the broker or dealer with whom orders for the purchase or
sale of securities for the Fund are placed for execution. UAS also has the authority to negotiate
the prices and commission rates at which securities transactions for the Fund are effected.
Trade Errors
UAS endeavors to ensure that trading errors do not impact client accounts but are all handled in
its error account, with UAS absorbing any resulting losses (or gains). Should a client suffer
losses in spite of such efforts, UAS will reimburse each client for net losses resulting from trade
errors to the extent that it is required to do so under the governing agreements for such client.
Item 17. VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Proxy Voting
UAS does not vote proxies on behalf of any of its separately managed account clients or the
Fund. Each client maintains exclusive responsibility for: (1) directing the manner in which
proxies solicited by issuers of securities beneficially owned by the client shall be voted and (2)
making all elections relative to any mergers, acquisitions, tender offers, bankruptcy proceeding or
other type events pertaining to the client’s investment assets. UAS and/or the client will
correspondingly instruct each custodian of the assets to forward to the client copies of all proxies
and shareholder communications relating to the client’s investment assets. UAS will, however,
make tender offer elections for the client.
Clients can contact Stacey James, Client Services Manager of UAS, at 212-983-5822 if they have
questions regarding a particular solicitation.
Class Action Settlements
In the case of its separately managed account clients, UAS will not be responsible for handling
client claims in class action lawsuits or similar settlements involving securities owned by the
client. In general, and upon the client’s request, UAS will reasonably assist the client in
determining the client’s eligibility to participate in the claim and provide the client with relevant
documentation in its possession so that the client may proceed with the claim should they choose
to do so. Each client should verify with its custodian or other account administrator whether any
such claims are being made on the client’s behalf by the custodian or if the client is expected to
file such claims directly. UAS will endeavor to assist clients in their efforts to collect and report
relevant data in relation to such class action claims.

In the case of the Fund, UAS has obtained the services of a company that files claims on the
Fund’s behalf for a percentage of the recovered funds. This arrangement may be terminated or
changed at any time by the UAS Affiliated Entity.
