Types of Advisory Services We Offer We provide personalized confidential financial planning and discretionary investment management services. We approach new client relationships through a two-step process. We first begin with personalized meetings and financial planning. Our advisory services are designed to your specific goals, objectives and risk tolerance. Advice is provided through consultation with the client and may include identification of financial problems, tax planning, insurance reviews, education funding, retirement planning, estate planning, and portfolio recommendations and allocations. Financial Planning Services We typically begin each new client relationship by providing financial planning services. We start with a series of one-on-one meetings This process involves a review and analysis of our client’s financial and life- planning resources as well as his or her short- and long-term needs. Depending on the applicability to a client’s circumstances, our financial planning services may also include a review of current and expected income, cash flows, debt, tax strategies, retirement planning, college planning, and evaluation of insurance needs. Financial planning requires a clear understanding of the client's current situation. Areas of examination include assets, liabilities, income, expenses, potential income taxes and estate taxes, trust agreements, wills, investments, insurance, personal and family obligations, employee benefit programs and careful consideration of investment vehicles. The client is expected to provide complete information in all relevant areas. We maintain strict client and data privacy policies and we will keep all of your information and the recommendations furnished to you in confidence. We rely on you to promptly notify us if your financial situation, goals, objectives, needs, or other circumstances change. Upon completion of our initial financial planning services, if appropriate, we will provide a written financial report to you. We offer Estate Planning services as part of our financial planning services for our clients to assist with general information as it applies to reviews of existing plans, gathering information needed to provide outside firms in the creation of documents, and updating existing plans for clients. For clients engaging in financial planning services, there is no separate fee for estate planning services. However, the client’s financial planning fee may be higher if we anticipate at the start of the engagement that estate planning services are needed as part of their comprehensive financial planning arrangement. In all cases, the exact fee payable by the client will be clearly set forth in the financial planning Portfolio Management Services After completion of your initial financial plan, we work with you to identify your investment goals, objectives and risk tolerance in order to create an initial portfolio allocation designed to complement your 4 financial goals and objectives. We do not limit the types of securities we recommend. Our portfolio recommendations will be suitable for your specific circumstances and may include individual stocks, fixed income securities, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, alternative investments, and other securities that we believe suitable to meet your investment goals and objectives. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, we will continue to monitor your portfolio and make changes based upon your individual needs and stated objectives. Our strategy, generally, will be to seek to meet your investment objectives while providing you with access to personal advisory services. We will review your goals and current financial situation periodically to make sure we have the information we need to assist you. Please see Item 8 of this brochure for information about our methods of analysis and investment strategies. As part of our overall portfolio management service, we provide ongoing financial planning. The services include meetings with clients to review progress towards stated goals; updates to the client’s existing financial plan; coordination with the client’s accountant, attorney, and other financial professionals; an electronic portal to access various financial planning tools and documents; ongoing telephone or email support; and access to events and workshops held by our firm. These ongoing financial planning services are provided at no additional cost to you. Family Office Services USPW provides Family Office services to clients with at least $25,000,000 of investable assets. These services are designed to help families coordinate their multiple forms of capital using a holistic and collaborative team approach combining the many elements inherent to a successful life with wealth. Our collective experiences support our belief that a dedicated team of independent and objective professionals working in collaboration with each other in partnership with the family is the best way to serve families of significant wealth. Such a relationship enhances USPW’s ability to advise families on the opportunities and risks that their wealth presents helping families to make well informed decisions. Initially, USPW meets with the prospective client to obtain information about their overall situation. This information is used to assist USPW in understanding a client’s needs and the scope of services that are most appropriate for the client’s situation. Family Office services include portfolio management and financial planning as described in the portfolio management and financial planning sections of this Form ADV Part 2A Brochure. In addition, Family Office clients receive enhanced consulting and planning services that include any or all of the following: • Information Management and Coordination – We organize key information and the coordinate such information with the family, the family’s accountant, attorney, insurance agents, and other key advisors. • • Estate, Gift & Trust Planning – We provide explanations, summaries, and illustrations of existing and proposed estate planning documents and strategies, including recommendations and education on additional strategies, considerations for making updates periodically and further coordination with family’s tax and legal advisor(s) to implement agreed upon strategies or updates. Income Tax Planning – Includes planning for the minimization of tax liabilities, including asset location, tax loss harvesting and gain minimization planning, charitable asset selection, facilitation of income tax payments and coordination with family’s tax advisor(s). 5 • Philanthropic Planning – Includes defining philanthropic goals, education on philanthropic vehicles and strategies for maximizing the benefits of philanthropy across the family and the organizations they choose to benefit. • Family Meetings – Includes facilitation of family meetings often across multiple generations around shared ownership, philanthropy, decision making or shared goals and objectives. • Assistance with Trust Administration – Includes advice around trustee selection and ongoing guidance, general understanding of trust purposes and provisions. Often involves education for grantors, trustees, and beneficiaries on their respective roles and responsibilities. • Consolidated Reporting Services – Allows the family to customize how their assets are reported by offering a view across multiple accounts or entities in a single statement and/or to segregate assets within accounts. This service may include assets not generally managed by USPW such as closely- held private family assets. Allows the family and their advisors to understand and monitor the total family balance sheet and provide comprehensive and integrated advice from a vantage point inclusive of the family’s entire wealth landscape. • Asset Protection Planning and Review – Includes review and discussion of strategies that may avoid or minimize a portion of a family’s balance sheet at risk. These strategies will be evaluated on the benefits they may provide against the degree and likelihood of loss and the complexity and administration they may require to achieve such protections. • Liability Risk Management Planning and Review – Includes advice on a combination of mitigation strategies including the use of special purpose entities, trusts and/or various insurance tools. We will review the family’s assets and liabilities to determine: location, titling and ownership structure.

We will review existing or proposed policies and, after receiving your permission, we may facilitate reviews with unaffiliated third-party professionals.

Our recommendations are based on your situation from the information provided to the firm. Families may choose to accept or reject our recommendations. We should be notified promptly of any change to your situation, goals, objectives, or needs. Pension Consulting USPW provides several pension consulting related services. While the primary clients for these services will be pension, profit sharing and 401(k) plans, USPW will also offer these services, where appropriate, to individuals and trusts, estates and charitable organizations. Pension Consulting Services are comprised of the following components. USPW is registered as an investment advisor and represents that it is not subject to any disqualification as set forth in Section 411 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”). To the extent USPW performs Fiduciary Services, USPW is acting as a fiduciary of the Plan as defined in Section 3(21) or Section 3(38) under ERISA. Clients may choose to use any or all of the following services: ERISA Section 3(38) Fiduciary Services: • Ongoing and continuous discretionary investment management with respect to the asset classes and investment alternatives available under the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s investment policies and objectives. 6 • Selection of investment options consistent with ERISA and the regulations thereunder, including but not limited it, 29 CFR 2550.404c-1(b)(i). • Development of an investment policy statement (IPS). • Monitoring of investment options by preparing periodic investment reports that document investment performance, consistency of fund management and conformance to the guidelines set forth in the IPS and determination of the maintenance or removal/replacement of investment options. • Meetings with client on a periodic basis to discuss the reports and the investment decisions. • Selection of a qualified default investment alternative (“QDIA”) for participants who fail to make an investment election. Client acknowledges that it is responsible for determining whether the Plan should have a QDIA and deciding upon the type of investment that will serve as a QDIA (e.g., target date fund, balanced fund or managed account). Once client has made that determination, USPW will select the investment to serve as the QDIA. The client retains the sole responsibility to provide all notices to participants required under 29 CFR §2550.404a-5. ERISA Section 3(21) Fiduciary Services: • Investment Policy Recommendations: Provide recommendations, assist with development and or review and revision of an Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”). • Fund Menu Design Recommendations: Assist with selecting appropriate investments that have a level of risk commensurate with the anticipated return. • Assist with Investment Monitoring & Committee Meetings: Assist in monitoring investment options by preparing quarterly and annual reports that document investment performance, consistency of fund management, and conformance to any guidelines set forth in the Plan, and will notify you with any recommendations. Conduct meetings, as requested by you, to review investment performance and make recommendations if funds should be watched/replaced. • Fund Monitoring & Recommendations for Replacement: On-going monitoring and recommendations for replacement of the Plan’s investments and investment providers. • Vendor Fee & Service Reviews: Perform analysis of the fees and expenses associated with the investments, and the service providers, and recommend changes when warranted. • Target Date Funds Selection & Monitoring: Assist in research of Target Date Fund families to include in the fund menu and monitor them on an ongoing basis. USPW may also perform the following Non-Fiduciary services: • Assistance with the education of the participants in the Plan about general investment principles. Client understands that USPW’s assistance in participant investment education shall be consistent with and within the scope of the definition of investment education of Department of Labor Interpretive Bulletin 96-1. As such, USPW is not providing fiduciary advice (as defined in ERISA) to the participants. USPW will not provide individualized investment advice concerning the prudence of any investment or combination of investment for a particular participant or beneficiary under the Plan. • Assistance with group enrollment meetings designed to increase retirement plan participation among employees and investment and financial understanding by the employees. USPW may provide these services or, alternatively, may arrange for the Plan’s other providers to offer these services, as agreed upon between USPW and client. These services are designed to assist plan sponsors in meeting their management and fiduciary obligations to Participants under ERISA. Pursuant to adopted regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor, we are required to provide the Plan's responsible plan fiduciary (the person who has the authority to 7 engage us as an investment adviser to the Plan) with a written statement of the services we provide to the Plan, the compensation we receive for providing those services, and our status (which is described above). The services we provide to your Plan are described above, and in the service agreement that you have previously signed. Our compensation for these services is described below, in Item 5, and also in the Pension Consulting Agreement. We do not reasonably expect to receive any other compensation, direct or indirect, for the services we provide to the Plan or Participants, unless the plan sponsor directs us to deduct our fee from the plan or directs the plan record-keeper to issue payment for our fee out of the plan. If we receive any other compensation for such services, we will (i) offset the compensation against our stated fees, and (ii) we will promptly disclose the amount of such compensation, the services rendered for such compensation and the payer of such compensation to you. Other pension consulting services are available on request. All of our pension consulting services, whether general or customized, will be outlined in an Agreement that shows the services that will be provided and the fees that will be charged for those services. Client Tailored Relationships and Restrictions As a fiduciary we always act in our clients’ best interests. Your portfolio is customized based on your investment objectives. You may make requests or make suggestions regarding the investments made in your portfolio. We will accept client-imposed investment restrictions or limitations on our discretionary authority on a case-by-case basis; however, restrictions on trading which, in our opinion, are not in your best interest cannot be honored and if forced may result in the termination of our agreement. We will detail the advisory services to be provided and the specific fees to be charged for those services in a written agreement with you. Appointment as a Sub-Advisor We provide sub-advisory services to clients of certain investment advisers (the “primary adviser”) that have signed an investment sub-advisory agreement with our firm. In these situations, the primary adviser will select one or more portfolio models/strategies developed by our firm and will invest its clients’ (the “end client”) assets in such models. The Primary adviser gives us discretionary authority to manage, invest and reinvest the assets held in these models. Where we have been engaged to provide advice with respect to only a part of any end client’s assets, it is expressly agreed that we assume no responsibility or obligation for the diversification of the end client’s investments. In addition, we will have no duty, responsibility or liability for assets that are not assigned to us for investment management services. Wrap Fee Program We do not participate in or sponsor any wrap fee program. Assets under Management (AUM) As of January 6, 2025, we manage approximately $107,892,710 in client assets on a discretionary basis and approximately $0 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis. ERISA Accounts and Our Fiduciary Role In recommending that any client roll over retirement plan assets to our management, we have a conflict of interest. Before making any such recommendation we review your existing investment options, fees and expenses, and your overall investment objectives. We only make the recommendation once we’ve determined that doing so is in your best interest. 8 As an investment advisor we are a fiduciary to all of our clients. We explicitly acknowledge that we also may act as a “fiduciary” under ERISA with respect to our investment advisory recommendations and non- discretionary asset management provided to ERISA plans. ITEM 5 – FEES AND COMPENSATION Financial Planning Services Fees As described in Item 4 of this brochure we typically begin each new client relationship with financial planning services. Our fee for these services is separate and in addition to our ongoing portfolio management services. Depending on the complexity of your individual situation and your specific needs, the fee for our initial financial planning services is between $500 and $10,000 which is charged in advance. Such fees are negotiable. The specific services to be provided and fees to be charged will be captured in our written client advisory agreement with you. We will invoice you directly for financial planning services upon delivery of the written plan to you. The invoice can be paid via check, ACH, wire, or credit card. If permitted by your custodian and authorized in writing by you, fees may also be deducted from your investment account. Portfolio Management Services Fees We charge an annual fee for portfolio management based on a percentage of your assets under management. Our maximum annual fee is 1.50%. In addition to the annual portfolio management fee, each household will be subject to an annual technology fee of $59.40 payable on a monthly basis to utilize the services of Orion Technologies for billing, trading, and reporting. Our fee is billed monthly in arrears and is calculated by dividing the amount of the total fee by the number of calendar days in the year and multiplying that total by the number of calendar days in the month. For example, a client with a fee of 1.50% and an account balance of $1,000,000 on January 31 would pay a fee of 1.50%/365 x 31= $1,273.97. Although we have an established annual fee schedule, we retain the discretion to negotiate fees on a client- by-client basis. Client facts, circumstances and needs will be considered in determining the fees we charge. These include the complexity of the client, assets to be placed under management, anticipated future additional assets, related accounts, portfolio style, and account composition, among other factors. The specific annual fee applicable to your relationship with us will be identified in the written advisory agreement between us. As we charge fees on a relationship basis, we may group certain related client accounts together for the purposes of determining the annualized fee. Discounts, while not generally available to our advisory clients, may be offered to family members, friends or associated persons of USPW. Fees are based on the market value of client assets under management as of the last day of the previous month. For purposes of determining value, securities and other instruments traded on a market for which actual transaction prices are publicly reported are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal market in which they are traded. The specific amount and manner of the fee we charge is established in our written client advisory agreement with you. 9 If the advisory agreement does not span the entire monthly billing period, the fee will be prorated based on the number of days the account is funded during the billing period. Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from your account by your account custodian with client written authorization. Concurrent with our request to your qualified custodian to withdraw fees, we send clients an invoice itemizing the advisory fee paid to us. This includes the formula used to calculate the fee, the amount of assets under management on which the fee is based, and the time period covered by the fee. If there is insufficient cash in your account to pay your fees, an equal balance of securities in your portfolio may be sold to pay our fee. Your account custodian will send you client statements, at least quarterly, showing all disbursements for the account including the amount of the advisory fee, if deducted directly from the account. While we take measures to ensure the fees charged are accurate, we strongly urge you to compare these statements for accuracy and contact both your custodian and USPW to let us know. Your fee includes our time when we work with your attorney and/or accountant in reaching agreement on solutions, as well as assisting them in implementation of all appropriate documents. However, we are not responsible for attorney or account fees charged to you as a result of the above activities. Compensation for our services will be calculated in accordance with what is set forth in the advisory agreement between us. We may modify the terms of any agreement by written changes submitted to you for signature. While we strive to maintain competitive fees, the same or similar services may be available from other firms at higher or lower fees. Pension Consulting Services Fees We charge a maximum 1.0% fee based on a percentage of assets in the plan. Fees are charged at the end of each calendar quarter. As the Fees are charged in arrears, we do not offer refunds as services have already been performed. For the first quarter that you engage us or if the Parties’ terminate the Agreement during the quarter, the Fees will be prorated for only those days that we rendered our Services. Your custodian/record-keeper will send statements, at least quarterly, to you that will reflect the Fees paid to us, but you should verify the accuracy of Fees paid. Concurrent with our request to your qualified custodian to withdraw fees, we send clients an invoice itemizing the advisory fee paid to us. This includes the formula used to calculate the fee, the amount of assets under management on which the fee is based, and the time period covered by the fee. If there is insufficient cash in your account to pay your fees, an equal balance of securities in your portfolio may be sold to pay our fee. USPW is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act (“ERISA”). As such, we are subject to specific duties and obligations that include among other things, restrictions concerning certain forms of compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions, we may only charge fees for investment advice about products for which we and/or our related persons do not receive any commissions or 12b-1 fees, or conversely, investment advice about products for which we and/or our related persons receive commissions or 12b- 1 fees, however, only when such fees are used to offset our advisory fees. IRA Rollover Considerations As a normal extension of financial advice, we provide education or recommendations related to the rollover of an employer-sponsored retirement plan. A plan participant leaving employment has several options. Each choice offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on desired investment options and 10 services, fees and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment, and the investor's unique financial needs and retirement plans. The complexity of these choices may lead an investor to seek assistance from us. An Associated Person who recommends an investor roll over plan assets into an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) may earn an asset-based fee as a result, but no compensation if assets are retained in the plan. Thus, we have an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets into an IRA. In most cases, fees and expenses will increase to the investor as a result because the above-described fees will apply to assets rolled over to an IRA and outlined ongoing services will be extended to these assets. We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We have to act in your best interests and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. Family Office Services Fees For Family Office services, USPW charges a negotiable annual fixed fee of up to $100,000. This fee is in addition to the portfolio management fee that will be paid pursuant to a portfolio management agreement signed by the client with our firm. Fees are negotiated with each client and can vary greatly based on the needs of each client. Prior to engaging USPW to provide Family Office services, clients will be required to enter into a written agreement with our firm. This agreement will set forth the terms and conditions of the engagement and will describe the scope of the services to be provided. Clients will have the ability to select either monthly or quarterly invoicing and the selection will be clearly indicated within the agreement signed by the client and the firm. USPW does not require the prepayment of over $1,200, six or more months in advance. Either party may terminate the family office services agreement by written notice to the other. All prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded to the client. Termination Clients may terminate their agreement without penalty, for a full refund, within five business days of signing the advisory agreement. After that initial five-day time period USPW or the client can terminate our agreement upon receipt of written notice to the other party. If any advisory fees were paid in advance, such fees will be pro-rated based on services already provided up to date of receipt of termination and returned to the client within 30 days of termination date. Any fees earned, but unpaid, will be billed to you. Upon receipt of a client’s notice of termination, we will proceed to close out any open positions in client’s account(s). You will be responsible for paying all fees including full custodial administrative fees, account closure fees, mutual fund fees and trading costs due to the termination. The custodian may assess additional fees for transfer of illiquid investments. If there is insufficient cash in the account, the liquidation of some securities may be used to pay the fees. Prior to termination of an agreement, we can provide a good-faith estimate of these fees. 11 Third-Party Fees USPW fees are exclusive of custodial brokerage commissions, transactions fees, and other related costs and expenses which you will incur. These expenses include custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, or other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to USPW’s fee. We do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Sub-Advisory Services Fees (Fees payable to us when we act as a sub adviser for the primary adviser) In addition to providing investment management services, we will also act as a payment agent for the primary adviser. Each account receiving our sub advisory services will pay our firm a total annual fee of up to 0.50% of the market value of the account. In addition to our fees, each account will also pay the primary adviser an annual asset-based advisory fee as set forth in the agreement between the end client and primary adviser (“Primary Advisory Fee”). The primary advisor will advise us in writing of the Primary Advisory Fee to be applied to each account. We will deduct the sub-advisory fee along with the Primary Advisory Fee from each account on a monthly basis, in arrears, based on the market value of each account as of the last trading day of the prior billing period. Fees for the initial period of services will be based on the initial market value of the account. All advisory fees will be pro-rated for partial billing periods based on the number of days services were provided by us and the primary advisor. Market value will include the value of all cash balances held in the account(s). Account valuation will be determined by the Custodian. Billing on Cash Positions The firm treats cash and cash equivalents held in a client’s managed portfolio as an asset class. Accordingly, unless otherwise agreed in writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market funds, etc.) held in a managed account are included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. We will not charge a fee on non-managed cash or cash equivalent accounts. At any specific point in time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no guarantee that such anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the firm may maintain cash and/or cash equivalent positions for defensive, liquidity, or other purposes. While assets are maintained in cash or cash equivalents, such amounts could miss market advances and, depending upon current yields, at any point in time, the firm’s advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s cash or cash equivalent positions. Periods of Portfolio Inactivity The firm has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. As part of its investment advisory services, the firm will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to investment performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, the client’s financial circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment objectives. Based upon these and other factors, there may be extended periods of time when the firm determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Notwithstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the firm’s annual investment advisory fee will continue to apply during these periods, and there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by the firm will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s). 12 Other Investment Compensation USPW does not accept commission for the sale of securities or other investment products, including asset- based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds. Our annual fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses. You are responsible for brokerage costs incurred. However, we will not receive any portion of the commissions, fees, and costs. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for further information on brokerage and transaction costs. Certain Executive officers and other Associated Persons of our firm are licensed as independent insurance agents. These persons will earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products, including insurance products they sell to our clients. Insurance commissions earned by these persons are separate from and in addition to our advisory fees. The sale of insurance instruments and other commissionable products offered by Associated Persons are intended to complement our advisory services. However, this practice presents a conflict of interest because persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm who are insurance agents have an incentive to recommend insurance products to you for the purpose of generating commissions rather than solely based on your needs. We address this conflict of interest by recommending insurance products only where we, in good faith, believe that it is appropriate for the client’s particular needs and circumstances and only after a full presentation of the recommended insurance product to our client. In addition, we explain the insurance underwriting process to our clients to illustrate how the insurer also reviews the client’s application and disclosures prior to the issuance of a resulting insuring agreement. Clients to whom the firm offers advisory services are informed that they are under no obligation to purchase insurance services. Clients who do choose to purchase insurance services are under no obligation to use our licensed Associated Persons and may use the insurance brokerage firm and agent of their choice. Where fixed annuities are sold, clients should also note that the annuity sales result in substantial up-front commissions and ongoing trails based on the annuity’s total value. In addition, many annuities contain surrender charges and/or restrictions on access to your funds. Payments and withdrawals can have tax consequences. Optional lifetime income benefit riders are used to calculate lifetime payments only and are not available for cash surrender or in a death benefit unless specified in the annuity contract. In some annuity products, fees can apply when using an income rider. Annuity guarantees are based on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company. We urge our clients to read all insurance contract disclosures carefully before making a purchase decision. Rates and returns mentioned on any program presented are subject to change without notice. Insurance products are subject to fees and additional expenses. ITEM 6 – PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT USPW does not charge performance-based fees or other fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client. ITEM 7 – TYPES OF CLIENTS We generally provide investment advisory services to individuals (including families), small business owners, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, endowments, estates, and charitable organizations. 13 Minimum Account Size We have a requirement of at least $1,000,000 to establish a relationship with USPW or our affiliated insurance practice. The minimum amount of assets required to qualify for Family Office services is $25,000,000. The minimum account size requirement may be waived based on the needs of the client and the complexity of the situation, or the overall relationship with the client. Interests in private placements are offered to persons who are “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. ITEM 8 – METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK OF LOSS Analysis USPW uses multiple sources of information to obtain analysis and strategies. They include sources such as financial newspapers, financial magazines, research prepared by others, corporate rating services, prospectuses, company press releases, annual reports and filings with the SEC, as well as any other sources necessary to obtain the appropriate information to thoroughly vet investments. In house research is conducted using fundamental and technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is a method of evaluating a company or security by attempting to measure its intrinsic value. In other words, trying to determine a company’s or a security’s true value by looking at all aspects of the business, including both tangible factors (e.g., machinery buildings, land, etc.) and intangible factors (e.g., patents, trademarks, “brand” names, etc.). Fundamental analysis also involves examining related economic factors (e.g., overall economy and industry conditions, etc.), financial factors (e.g., company debt, interest rates, management salaries and bonuses, etc.), qualitative factors (e.g., management expertise, industry cycles, labor relations, etc.), and quantitative factors (e.g., debt-to-equity and price-to-equity ratios). The end goal of performing fundamental analysis is to produce a value that an investor can compare with the security's current price in hopes of determining what sort of position to take with that security (underpriced = buy, overpriced = sell or short). This method of security analysis is considered to be the opposite of technical analysis. Fundamental analysis is about using real data to evaluate a security's value. Although most analysts use fundamental analysis to value stocks, this method of valuation can be used for just about any type of security. The risk associated with fundamental analysis is that information obtained may be incorrect and the analysis may not provide an accurate estimate of earnings, which may be the basis for a stock's value. If securities prices adjust rapidly to new information, utilizing fundamental analysis may not result in favorable performance. Technical Analysis is a technique that relies on the assumption that current market data (such as charts of price, volume, and open interest) can help predict future market trends, at least in the short term. It assumes that market psychology influences trading and can predict when stocks will rise or fall. Technical trading models are mathematically driven based upon historical data and trends of domestic and foreign market trading activity, including various industry and sector trading statistics within such markets. Technical trading models, through mathematical algorithms, attempt to identify when markets are likely to increase or decrease and identify appropriate entry and exit points. The primary risk of technical trading models is that historical trends and past performance cannot predict future trends, and there is no assurance that the mathematical algorithms employed are designed properly, updated with new data, and can accurately predict future market, industry, and sector performance. Investment Strategies USPW utilizes multiple investment strategies and investment solutions to meet your investment objectives. These methodologies are formulated based on a comprehensive review and assessment of your expectations, investment time horizon, risk tolerance level, present investment allocation, and 14 current and projected financial requirements. The approach taken must provide exposure to a wide range of investment opportunities in various markets while limiting risk exposure through prudent diversification. The approach we utilize is an active management strategy with portfolio changes no less than monthly as needed. Finally, the costs of administering and managing the investments related to the strategy cannot be, in our view, excessive. We primarily use long-term and short-term purchases when advising you on investments. We may also conduct short term trading on a limited basis: Long Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that the value of those securities will grow over a relatively long period of time, generally greater than one year. Using a long-term purchase strategy generally assumes the financial markets will go up in the long-term which may not be the case. There is also the risk that the segment of the market that you are invested in or perhaps just your particular investment will go down over time even if the overall financial markets advance. Purchasing investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other investments. Short Term Purchases – securities purchased with the expectation that they will be sold within a relatively short period of time, generally less than one year, to take advantage of the securities' short-term price fluctuations. Using a short-term purchase strategy generally assumes that we can predict how financial markets will perform in the short-term which may be very difficult and will incur a disproportionately higher amount of transaction costs compared to long-term trading. There are many factors that can affect financial market performance in the short-term (such as short-term interest rate changes, cyclical earnings announcements, etc.) but may have a smaller impact over longer periods of times. Trading – securities are sold within 30 days. The principal type of risk associated with trading is market risk. There can be no assurance that a specific investment will achieve its investment objectives and past performance should not be seen as a guide to future returns. The value of investments and the income derived may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested. Investments may also be affected by any changes in exchange control regulation, tax laws, withholding taxes, international, political and economic developments, and government, economic or monetary policies. Additionally, trading is speculative. Market movements are difficult to predict and are influenced by, among other things, government trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programs and policies; changing supply and demand relationships; national and international political and economic events; changes in interest rates; and the inherent volatility of the marketplace. In addition, governments from time-to-time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, often with the intent to influence prices directly. The effects of governmental intervention may be particularly significant at certain times in the financial instrument markets and such intervention (as well as other factors) may cause these markets to move rapidly. Risk of Loss All investments include a risk of loss. In addition, as recent global and domestic economic events have indicated, performance of any investment is not guaranteed. As a result, there is a risk of loss of the assets we manage. We use our best efforts and expertise to manage your assets; however, we cannot guarantee any level of performance or that you will not experience financial loss. USPW will use our best judgment and good faith efforts in rendering services to you. We cannot warrant or guarantee any particular level of account performance, or that your account will be profitable over time. Not every investment decision or recommendation made by us will be profitable. You assume all 15 market risk involved in the investment of account assets under the Investment Advisory Agreement and understand that investment decisions made for this account are subject to various market, currency, economic, political and business risks. Except as may otherwise be provided by law, we will not be liable to you for (a) any loss that you may suffer by reason of any investment decision made or other action taken or omitted in good faith by USPW with that degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances that a prudent person acting in a fiduciary capacity would use; (b) any loss arising from our adherence to your instructions; or (c) any unauthorized act or failure to act by a custodian of your account. Nothing in this document shall relieve us from any responsibility or liability we may have under state or federal statutes. General Risk of Loss; Liquidity. Investing in securities involves risk of loss, including the possibility of losing all of your initial investment as well as any unrealized gains on investments. In addition, securities held in your account may underperform in comparison to the general securities markets or other asset classes. A clear understanding of your tolerance for risk is essential before choosing to work with us. We do not guarantee returns and cannot eliminate risk. In addition, we cannot offer any guarantees or promises that your personal vision or financial goals and objectives will be met. General economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, commodity prices, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency fluctuations and controls, and national and international political circumstances can materially affect the investments in your account(s). For example, any of these factors may affect price volatility and the liquidity of instruments held. Even an instrument that generally is, or recently was, liquid may unexpectedly and suddenly become illiquid. Such volatility or illiquidity could result in substantial losses. Small- and Mid-Capitalization Companies. We may invest in smaller and less established companies (i.e., small-capitalization and mid-capitalization companies). These smaller companies may present greater opportunities for capital appreciation, but typically are more volatile and involve greater risk than companies that are larger and more established. Such smaller companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volumes than the securities of larger, more mature companies. As a result, the prices of the securities of such smaller companies may fluctuate to a greater degree than the prices of the securities of other issuers and these companies may be more likely to fail, which could result in substantial losses. Valuation. Account assets may, at any given time, include securities and other financial instruments or obligations that are thinly traded or for which no market exists and/or which are restricted as to their transferability under applicable securities laws. The sale of any such investments may be possible only at substantial discounts, and it may be extremely difficult to accurately value any such investments. Management. Our judgments regarding the attractiveness, value or potential appreciation of a particular asset class or investment may be incorrect and there is no guarantee that any asset class or instrument will perform as we expect. We may fail to implement a strategy as we intended or we may not identify all risks associated with a strategy or a shift in strategy, all of which may cause substantial losses. Extraordinary Events. Global terrorist activity and armed conflicts may negatively affect general economic conditions, including sales, profits and production, and may materially affect prices and/or impair our trading facilities and infrastructure or the trading facilities and infrastructure of the exchanges or markets on which we trade. Pandemic Risk: Large-scale outbreaks of infectious disease can greatly increase morbidity and mortality over a wide geographic area, crossing international boundaries, and causing significant economic, social, 16 and political disruption. It is difficult to predict the long-term impact of such events because they are dependent on a variety of factors including the global response of regulators and governments to address and mitigate the worldwide effects of such events. Workforce reductions, travel restrictions, governmental responses and policies and macroeconomic factors will negatively impact investment returns. Regulatory Developments. The legal, tax and regulatory environment worldwide in the financial industry is evolving, and changes in regulations affecting the financial industry, including USPW and the issuers of financial instruments held in your account may have a material adverse effect on our ability to pursue the investment strategies described above or the value of the instruments held in your account. There has been an increase in scrutiny of the financial industry by governmental agencies and self- regulatory organizations. Various national governments have expressed concern regarding the disruptive effects of speculative trading and the need to regulate the financial markets in general. New laws and regulations or actions taken by regulators that restrict our ability to pursue our investment strategies or conduct business with broker-dealers and other counterparties could adversely affect your account. Cybersecurity Risks: Our firm and our service providers are subject to risks associated with a breach in cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is a generic term used to describe the technology, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, systems, computers, programs, and data from cyber-attacks and hacking by other computer users, and to avoid the resulting damage and disruption of hardware and software systems, loss or corruption of data, and/or misappropriation of confidential information. In general, cyber-attacks are deliberate; however, unintentional events may have similar effects. Cyber-attacks may cause losses to clients by interfering with the processing of transactions, affecting the ability to calculate net asset value or impeding or sabotaging trading. Clients may also incur substantial costs as the result of a cybersecurity breach, including those associated with forensic analysis of the origin and scope of the breach, increased and upgraded cybersecurity, identity theft, unauthorized use of proprietary information, litigation, and the dissemination of confidential and proprietary information. Any such breach could expose our firm to civil liability as well as regulatory inquiry and/or action. In addition, clients could be exposed to additional losses as a result of unauthorized use of their personal information. While our firm has established a business continuity plan and systems designed to prevent cyber-attacks, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems, including the possibility that certain risks have not been identified. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers of securities, investment companies and other investment advisers in which we invest, which could result in material adverse consequences for such entities and may cause a client's investment in such entities to lose value. Concentrated Position Risk: Certain Associated Persons may recommend that clients concentrate account assets in an industry or economic sector. In addition to the potential concentration of accounts in one or more sectors, certain accounts may, or may be advised to, hold concentrated positions in specific securities. Therefore, at times, an account may, or may be advised to, hold a relatively small number of securities positions, each representing a relatively large portion of assets in the account. As a result, the account will be subject to greater volatility than a more sector diversified portfolio. Investments in issuers within an industry or economic sector that experiences adverse economic, business, political conditions or other concerns will impact the value of such a portfolio more than if the portfolio’s investments were not so concentrated. A change in the value of a single investment within the portfolio will affect the overall value of the portfolio and will cause greater losses than it would in a portfolio that holds more diversified investments. Mutual Funds: Investing in mutual funds carries the risk of capital loss and thus you may lose money investing in mutual funds. All mutual funds have costs that lower investment returns. They can be of bond 17 “fixed income” nature (lower risk) or stock “equity” nature (mentioned above). Equity: investment generally refers to buying shares of stocks by an individual or firms in return for receiving a future payment of dividends and capital gains if the value of the stock increases. There is an innate risk involved when purchasing a stock that it may decrease in value and the investment may incur a loss. Inverse Funds: Inverse mutual funds and ETFs, which are sometimes referred to as "short" funds, seek to provide the opposite of the single-day performance of the index or benchmark they track. Inverse funds are often marketed as a way to profit from, or hedge exposure to, downward moving markets. Some inverse funds also use leverage, such that they seek to achieve a return that is a multiple of the opposite performance of the underlying index or benchmark (i.e., -200%, -300%). In addition to leverage, these funds may also use derivative instruments to accomplish their objectives. As such, inverse funds are highly volatile and provide the potential for significant losses. Treasury Inflation Protected/Inflation Linked Bonds: The Risk of default on these bonds is dependent upon the U.S. Treasury defaulting (extremely unlikely); however, they carry a potential risk of losing share price value, albeit rather minimal. Cryptocurrency Risk: Cryptocurrency (e.g., bitcoin and ether), often referred to as “virtual currency”, “digital currency,” or “digital assets,” is designed to act as a medium of exchange. Cryptocurrency is an emerging asset class. There are thousands of cryptocurrencies, the most well-known of which is bitcoin. Certain of the firm’s clients may have exposure to bitcoin or another cryptocurrency, directly or indirectly through an investment such as an ETF or other investment vehicles. Cryptocurrency operates without central authority or banks and is not backed by any government. Cryptocurrencies may experience very high volatility and related investment vehicles may be affected by such volatility. As a result of holding cryptocurrency, certain of the firm’s Clients may also trade at a significant premium or discount to NAV. Cryptocurrency is also not legal tender. Federal, state or foreign governments may restrict the use and exchange of cryptocurrency, and regulation in the U.S. is still developing. The market price of many cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, has been subject to extreme fluctuations. If cryptocurrency markets continue to be subject to sharp fluctuations, investors may experience losses if the value of the client’s investments decline. Similar to fiat currencies (i.e., a currency that is backed by a central bank or a national, supra-national or quasi-national organization), cryptocurrencies are susceptible to theft, loss and destruction. Cryptocurrency exchanges and other trading venues on which cryptocurrencies trade are relatively new and, in most cases, largely unregulated and may therefore be more exposed to fraud and failure than established, regulated exchanges for securities, derivatives and other currencies. The SEC has issued a public report stating U.S. federal securities laws require treating some digital assets as securities. Cryptocurrency exchanges may stop operating or permanently shut down due to fraud, technical glitches, hackers or malware. Due to relatively recent launches, most cryptocurrencies have a limited trading history, making it difficult for investors to evaluate investments. Generally, cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible such that an improper transfer can only be undone by the receiver of the cryptocurrency agreeing to return the cryptocurrency to the original sender. Digital assets are highly dependent on their developers and there is no guarantee that development will continue or that developers will not abandon a project with little or no notice. Third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to the holding and transfer of digital assets, including cryptocurrencies, and their source code. Any threatened action that reduces confidence in a network’s long-term ability to hold and transfer cryptocurrency may affect investments in cryptocurrencies. 18 Many significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of investments in cryptocurrency are uncertain and an investment in cryptocurrency may produce income that is not treated as qualifying income for purposes of the income test applicable to regulated investment companies. Certain cryptocurrency investments may be treated as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and an investment by the firm’s clients in such a vehicle will generally be treated as a direct investment in cryptocurrency for tax purposes and “flow-through” to the underlying investors. Fixed Income is an investment that guarantees fixed periodic payments in the future that may involve economic risks such as inflationary risk, interest rate risk, default risk, repayment of principal risk, etc. Debt securities carry risks such as the possibility of default on the principal, fluctuation in interest rates, and counterparties being unable to meet obligations. Stocks & Exchange Traded Funds (ETF): Investing in stocks & ETF's carries the risk of capital loss (sometimes up to a 100% loss in the case of a stock holding bankruptcy). Real Estate funds face several kinds of risk that are inherent in this sector of the market. Liquidity risk, market risk and interest rate risk are just some of the factors that can influence the gain or loss that is passed on to the investor. Liquidity and market risk tend to have a greater effect on funds that are more growth-oriented, as the sale of appreciated properties depends upon market demand. Conversely, interest rate risk impacts the amount of dividend income that is paid by income-oriented funds. REITs have specific risks including valuation due to cash flows, dividends paid in stock rather than cash, and the payment of debt resulting in dilution of shares. Private placements carry a substantial risk as they are largely unregulated offerings not subject to securities laws. Alternatives: Non-traded REITs, business development companies, limited partnerships, and direct alternatives are subject to various risks such as liquidity and property devaluation based on adverse economic and real estate market conditions and may not be suitable for all investors. A prospectus that discloses all risks, fees and expenses may be obtained from your advisor. Read the prospectus carefully before investing. This is not a solicitation or offering which can only be made in conjunction with a copy of the prospectus. Investors considering an investment strategy utilizing alternative investments should understand that alternative investments are generally considered speculative in nature and may involve a high degree of risk, particularly if concentrating investments in one or few alternative investments. Precious Metal ETFs (Gold, Silver, Palladium Bullion backed “electronic shares” not physical metal): Investing in precious metal ETFs carries the risk of capital loss. Long term trading is designed to capture market rates of both return and risk. Due to its nature, the long- term investment strategy can expose clients to various other types of risk that will typically surface at various intervals during the time the client owns the investments. These risks include but are not limited to inflation risk, interest rate risk, economic risk, market risk, and political/regulatory risk. Short term trading risks include liquidity, economic stability and inflation. Short sales risks include the upward trend of the market and the infinite possibility of loss. 19 Environmental, Social, and Governance Investment Criteria Risk: If a portfolio is subject to certain environmental, social and governance (ESG) investment criteria it may avoid purchasing certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to purchase those securities, or may sell certain securities for ESG reasons when it is otherwise economically advantageous to hold those securities. In general, the application of the portfolio’s ESG investment criteria may affect the portfolio’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors and geographic areas, which may affect the financial performance of the portfolio, positively or negatively, depending on whether these issuers, industries, sectors or geographic areas are in or out of favor. An adviser can vary materially from other advisers with respect to its methodology for constructing ESG portfolios or screens, including with respect to the factors and data that it collects and evaluates as part of its process. As a result, an adviser’s ESG portfolio or screen may materially differ from or contradict the conclusions reached by other ESG advisers concerning the same issuers. Further, ESG criteria are dependent on data and are subject to the risk that such data reported by issuers or received from third-party sources may be subjective, or it may be objective in principle but not verified or reliable. Risks Associated with Investing in Inverse and Leveraged Funds: Leveraged mutual funds and ETFs generally seek to deliver multiples of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track. Inverse mutual funds and ETFs generally seek to deliver the opposite of the daily performance of the index or benchmark that they track. Inverse funds often are marketed as a way for investors to profit from, or at least hedge their exposure to, downward-moving markets. Some Inverse funds are both inverse and leveraged, meaning that they seek a return that is a multiple of the inverse performance of the underlying index. To accomplish their objectives, leveraged and inverse funds use a range of investment strategies, including swaps, futures contracts, and other derivative instruments. Leveraged, inverse, and leveraged inverse funds are more volatile and riskier than traditional funds due to their exposure to leverage and derivatives, particularly total return swaps and futures. At times, we will recommend leveraged and/or inversed funds, which may amplify gains and losses. Most leveraged funds are typically designed to achieve their desired exposure on a daily (in a few cases, monthly) basis, and reset their leverage daily. A "single day" is measured from the time the leveraged fund calculates its net asset value ("NAV") to the time of the leveraged fund's next NAV calculation. The return of the leveraged fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day's returns compounded over the period. Due to the effect of this mathematical compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance (or inverse performance) of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. For periods longer than a single day, the leveraged fund will lose money when the level of the Index is flat, and the leveraged fund may lose money even if the level of the Index rises. Longer holding periods, higher index volatility, and greater leverage all exacerbate the impact of compounding on an investor's returns. During periods of higher Index volatility, the volatility of the Index may affect the leveraged fund's return as much as or more than the return of the Index itself. Therefore, holding leveraged, inverse, and leveraged inverse funds for longer periods of time increases their risk due to the effects of compounding and the inherent difficulty in market timing. Leveraged funds are riskier than similarly benchmarked funds that do not use leverage. Non-traditional funds are highly volatile and not suitable for all investors. They provide the potential for significant losses. Risks Associated with Investing in Buffer ETFs: Buffer ETFs are also known as defined-outcome ETFs since the ETF is designed to offer downside protection for a specified period of time. These ETFs are modeled after options-based structured notes, but are generally cheaper, and offer more liquidity. Buffer ETFs are designed to safeguard against market downturns by employing complex options strategies. Buffer ETFs typically charge higher management fees that are considerably more than the index funds whose 20 performance they attempt to track. Additionally, because buffer funds own options, they do not receive dividends from their equity holdings. Both factors result in the underperformance of the Buffer ETF compared to the index they attempt to track. Clients should carefully read the prospectus for a buffer ETF to fully understand the cost structures, risks, and features of these complex products. Structured Notes: Below are some specific risks related to the structured notes recommended by our firm: • Complexity: Structured notes are complex financial instruments. Clients should understand the reference asset(s) or index(es) and determine how the note’s payoff structure incorporates such reference asset(s) or index(es) in calculating the note’s performance. This payoff calculation may include leverage multiplied by the performance of the reference asset or index, protection from losses should the reference asset or index produce negative returns, and/or fees. Structured notes may have complicated payoff structures that can make it difficult for clients to accurately assess their value, risk and potential for growth through the term of the structured note. Determining the performance of each note can be complex and this calculation can vary significantly from note to note depending on the structure. Notes can be structured in a wide variety of ways. Payoff structures can be leveraged, inverse, or inverse-leveraged, which may result in larger returns or losses. Clients should carefully read the prospectus for a structured note to fully understand how the payoff on a note will be calculated and discuss these issues with our firm. • • Market risk. Some structured notes provide for the repayment of principal at maturity, which is often referred to as “principal protection.” This principal protection is subject to the credit risk of the issuing financial institution. Many structured notes do not offer this feature. For structured notes that do not offer principal protection, the performance of the linked asset or index may cause clients to lose some, or all, of their principal. Depending on the nature of the linked asset or index, the market risk of the structured note may include changes in equity or commodity prices, changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates, and/or market volatility. Issuance price and note value: The price of a structured note at issuance will likely be higher than the fair value of the structured note on the date of issuance. Issuers now generally disclose an estimated value of the structured note on the cover page of the offering prospectus, allowing investors to gauge the difference between the issuer’s estimated value of the note and the issuance price. The estimated value of the notes is likely lower than the issuance price of the note to investors because issuers include the costs for selling, structuring, and/or hedging the exposure on the note in the initial price of their notes. After issuance, structured notes may not be re-sold on a daily basis and thus may be difficult to value given their complexity. • Liquidity: The ability to trade or sell structured notes in a secondary market is often very limited, as structured notes (other than exchange-traded notes known as ETNs) are not listed for trading on securities exchanges. As a result, the only potential buyer for a structured note may be the issuing financial institution’s broker-dealer affiliate or the broker-dealer distributor of the structured note. In addition, issuers often specifically disclaim their intention to repurchase or make markets in the notes they issue. Clients should, therefore, be prepared to hold a structured note to its maturity date or risk selling the note at a discount to its value at the time of sale. • Credit risk: Structured notes are unsecured debt obligations of the issuer, meaning that the issuer is obligated to make payments on the notes as promised. These promises, including any principal protection, are only as good as the financial health of the structured note issuer. If the structured note issuer defaults on these obligations, investors may lose some, or all, of the principal amount they invested in the structured notes as well as any other payments that may be due on the structured notes. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities involves a risk of loss that you, as a client, should be prepared to bear. The various risks briefly summarized above are not the only potential or actual risks associated with investments in the market and nothing stated in the 21 above risks should be interpreted to limit or modify our fiduciary duty to you as an client or waive any right or remedy you may have under federal or state securities laws. Federal and state securities laws impose liabilities under certain circumstances on person who act in good faith. ITEM 9 – DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION In June 2017, WWM and Michael D. Wall signed a Stipulation and Consent Agreement with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation. Florida found Mr. Wall did not maintain an accurate Form U4 or comply with the custody requirements under Florida statues. WWM and Mr. Wall were ordered to pay fifteen thousand dollars to Florida. Mr. Wall was deemed to have custody of client funds because the firm deducted advisory fees directly from client accounts, but did not simultaneously send a copy of the invoice to the client itemizing the advisory fee to be deducted. The firm relied instead on the statement sent by the custodian, which documented only the total fee, not how it was calculated. Deemed to have custody also resulted in a higher net capital requirement, which WWM did not maintain. We promptly corrected the internal procedures and books and records that led to these findings. In December 2017 in lieu of litigation, and without admitting or denying the allegations, WWM and Mr. Wall voluntarily entered into a consent order and agreement ("COA") with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities. Pennsylvania found WWM and Mr. Wall to have recommended and sold securities to at least one Pennsylvania client that was over the limit of 10% of the client’s total net worth (over concentration). WWM and Mr. Wall were ordered to pay Pennsylvania for the costs of the investigation as well as an assessment of fifty thousand dollars. The firm did not receive, and was not otherwise made aware, of any customer complaints involving investments the firm recommended. The COA did not specify any securities involved in the allegations, nor did the COA allege that monetary damages were incurred by any of the firm's clients. The cornerstone of our practice is built on always acting in the client's best interest. Part of this practice is demonstrating objective-prudence in making recommendations to our clients. ITEM 10 – OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS Broker Dealers and Registered Representatives Neither USPW nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to become a broker- dealer or as representatives of a broker-dealer. Registration as a Futures Commission Merchant, Pool Operator, or a Commodity Trading Advisor Neither USPW nor its representatives are registered as or have pending applications to become a Futures Commission Merchant, Commodity Pool Operator, or a Commodity Trading Advisor. Relationships Material to this Advisory Business and Possible Conflicts of Interests Mr. Wall is a 100% owner and President of Wall Private Wealth, Inc., a licensed insurance agency. He spends approximately 50% of his time on this business. Mr. Wall is a 50% owner of Wall Leaman, LLC, which offers management consulting, as well as business succession and transition planning. These services are typically marketed to businesses, not individual clients of USPW, but there may be occasion where a client is a client using the services of both USPW and Wall Leaman. Compensation from Insurance Companies Mr. Wall is a licensed insurance agent. He regularly includes insurance reviews and makes recommendations to purchase insurance products as part of the financial planning services he provides 22 to clients; he typically refers insurance products sales to his own affiliated insurance agency, Wall Private Wealth, Inc. Mr. Wall receives a commission from the sale of insurance products, and his insurance agency generates revenue. This creates a conflict of interest because it gives him an incentive to recommend insurance products to advisory clients. However, we recognize our obligation to act in the best interests of our clients, and any such products will only be recommended in those situations we believe will facilitate the implementation of a client’s overall plan or is otherwise appropriate and in the best interests of the client given his or her circumstances. Clients are under no obligation to purchase insurance products or services from Mr. Wall or through Wall Private Wealth, Inc. Reeds Creek Manager LLC Mr. Wall is a shareholder of Reeds Creek Manager LLC, a Georgia based limited liability company and Manager of Reeds Creek Opportunity Fund LLC a Delaware limited liability company and private placement under Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Interests in this private placement were offered to persons who are “accredited investors” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. An investment in a private placement is suitable only for investors who have adequate means of providing for current needs and personal contingencies, can bear the economic risk of the investment, and have no need for liquidity in the investment. Investors were required to make representations to the foregoing effect as a condition to acceptance of their subscription. Investors in the private placement received a confidential private placement memorandum that provided further detail about the management, fees, conflicts of interest, and risks associated with the investment. Clients of USPW were solicited to invest in this private placement.

ITEM 11 – CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING Code of Ethics Description 23 We have adopted a Code of Ethics that governs potential conflicts of interest we have when providing our advisory services to you. This Code of Ethics is designed to ensure we meet our fiduciary obligation to you and to stress the importance of a culture of compliance within our firm. An additional benefit of our Code of Ethics is to detect and prevent violations of securities laws, including our obligations we owe to you. Our Code of Ethics is distributed to each employee at the time of hire, and annually thereafter, and if there are any material changes. We also supplement the Code with annual training and on-going monitoring of employee activity. USPW’s Code of Ethics includes the following: • Requirements related to the confidentiality of your personal, business and financial information • Prohibitions on insider trading (if we are in possession of material, non-public information) • Reporting of gifts and business entertainment • Pre-clearance of employee and firm transactions • Reporting (on an on-going and quarterly basis) all personal securities transactions (what we call “reportable securities” as mandated by regulation) • On an annual basis, we require all employees to re-certify to our Code, identify members of their household and any account to which they have a beneficial ownership (they “own” the account or have “authority” over the account), securities held in certificate form and all securities they own at that time. Material Financial Interest in Client Transactions As described in Item 10 above, Michael Wall is a shareholder of Reeds Creek Manager LLC, the Manager of Reeds Creek Opportunity Fund LLC a private placement under Regulation D of the Securities Act. In his capacity as a shareholder of Reeds Creek Manager LLC, Mr. Wall receives certain distributions from the company in the form of management compensation and is allocated a portion of the project consulting fee which includes unused selling expenses. Clients should note that the recommendation of investments in this private placement creates a material conflict of interest because our firm and Mr. Wall have an incentive to recommend the private placement over other investments that have no relationship with us, for the purposes of generating additional revenue for our principal. To address this conflict, USPW does not charge advisory fees on the portion of the clients’ assets invested in Reeds Creek Opportunity Fund LLC. Additionally, Associated Persons of the firm are required to uphold their fiduciary duty of acting in our clients’ best interests and in connection therewith, will prepare and maintain records supporting any resulting recommendation of the private placement.

Participation or Interest in Client Transactions USPW, or its employees, may buy and sell some of the same securities for our own accounts that we buy and sell for our clients. This creates a conflict in that we have incentive to place those trades executed at the best prices in our own accounts. To mitigate this conflict, our policy is to always buy or sell from our clients’ accounts before we buy or sell from our own. In some cases USPW, or its employees, may buy or sell securities for our own accounts and not for clients’ accounts, as it may not meet the objectives or plans for the client. We do not buy or sell securities for clients in which the firm or its employees have a material financial interest, such as where we buy or sell in a security in which an employee sits on the board or acts as a general partner. We will always maintain full disclosure with our clients so that you can make informed decisions. We will always evaluate our activity from the view of our clients to ensure that any and all required disclosures are made. For example, we will disclose anything that would cause you to be unfairly influenced to make any decision regarding actions or inactions in your account. We will provide a copy of our Code of Ethics at no cost to current and prospective clients upon request. ITEM 12 – BROKERAGE PRACTICES Selecting Brokerage Firms We recommend you use Pershing Advisor Solutions ("PAS" or "Pershing") or Schwab & Co, Inc. (“Schwab”) as your custodial broker dealer. PAS and Schwab are unaffiliated SEC-registered broker-dealers and members of FINRA/SIPC. PAS and Schwab offer independent investment advisors services which include custody of securities, trade execution, and clearance and settlement of transactions. We have selected PAS and Schwab based on price, reliability, speed of processing, tools and “best execution” in addition to other considerations. While you are not required to effect transactions through a broker-dealer we recommend to you, we feel we have made our selection based on a totality of benefits they offer. PAS and Schwab will hold your assets in a brokerage account and buy and sell securities when we instruct them to. While we recommend that you use PAS and Schwab as custodians/brokers, you will decide whether to do so and you will open your account with PAS or Schwab by entering into an account agreement directly with them. We do not open the account for you, although we may assist you in doing so. Even though your account is maintained at PAS and Schwab, we can still use other brokers to execute trades for your account as described below (see “Your Brokerage and Custody Costs”). USPW may purchase software, tools, training programs or seminar services from PAS and Schwab for a discounted fee. Additionally, PAS and Schwab may provide services, tools or other non-financial benefits to us as a benefit for using their services (see “Research and Other Soft Dollar Benefits” below). However, we endeavor at all times to put the interests of our clients first. You should be aware, however, that the receipt of the types of benefits discussed above can create a potential conflict of interest by influencing our choice of a broker-dealer. To avoid creating a possible conflict of interest in recommending broker-dealers, we have established the following restrictions in order to ensure its fiduciary responsibilities: 25 • USPW adheres to our Code of Ethics as outlined in Item 11 above • USPW will fully disclose separate compensation for transactions • USPW emphasizes the unrestricted right of you to select and choose your own broker or dealer • USPW will always act in accordance with all applicable federal and state regulations governing registered investment advisory practices Your Brokerage and Custody Costs at PAS and Schwab For our clients’ accounts that PAS and Schwab maintain, PAS and Schwab generally do not charge you separately for custody services but are compensated by charging you commission or other fees on trades that they execute or that settle into your PAS and/or Schwab account(s). Certain trades (for example, equities, many mutual funds and ETFs) may not incur commission or transaction fees. PAS and Schwa are also compensated by earning interest on the uninvested cash in your account. In addition to commissions, PAS and Schwab charge you a flat dollar amount as a “prime broker” or “trade away” fee for each trade that we have executed by a different broker-dealer but where the securities bought or the funds from the securities sold are deposited (settled) into your PAS and Schwab accounts. These fees are in addition to the commissions or other compensation you pay the executing broker-dealer. Because of this, in order to minimize your trading costs, we have PAS and Schwab execute most trades for your account. We have determined that having PAS and Schwab execute most trades is consistent with our duty to seek “best execution” of your trades. Best execution means the most favorable terms for a transaction based on all relevant factors, including those listed above (see “Selecting Brokerage Firms”). Commissions you pay to the custodian, if any, are disclosed on the confirmation of each security transaction we place on your behalf. These confirmations are sent directly to you by the custodian and we receive a copy of them. Clients are solely responsible for these charges, and USPW does not share in this compensation. In some cases, the mutual funds or ETFs we purchase or sell for your accounts are made available by the custodian on a no-load or load-waived basis. In addition, certain mutual funds and ETFs are made available for no transaction fee; as a result, the confirmation may show “no commission” for a particular transaction. Typically, the custodian (but not USPW) earns additional remuneration from such services as recordkeeping, administration, and platform fees, for the funds and ETFs on their no-transaction fee lists. This additional revenue to the custodian will tend to increase the internal expenses of the fund or ETF. We select investments based on our assessment of a number of factors, including liquidity, asset exposure, reasonable fees, effective management, and low execution cost. Where we choose a no-transaction fee fund or ETF, it is because it has met our criteria in all applicable categories. Research and other Soft Dollar Benefits/ Products and services available to us from Schwab Schwab Advisor ServicesTM is Schwab’s business serving independent investment advisory firms like us. They provide us and our clients with access to their institutional brokerage services (trading, custody, reporting, and related services), many of which are not typically available to Schwab retail customers. Schwab also makes available various support services. Some of those services help us manage or administer our clients’ accounts, while others help us manage and grow our business. Schwab’s support services are generally available on an unsolicited basis (we don’t have to request them) and at no charge to us. Following is a more detailed description of Schwab’s support services. Services that benefit you: Schwab’s institutional brokerage services include access to a broad range of investment products, execution of securities transactions, and custody of client assets. The investment products available through Schwab include some to which we might not otherwise have access or that 26 would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment by our clients. Schwab’s services described in this paragraph generally benefit you and your account. Services that may not directly benefit you: Schwab also makes available to us other products and services that benefit us but may not directly benefit you or your account. These products and services assist us in managing and administering our clients’ accounts. They include investment research, both Schwab’s own and that of third parties. We may use this research to service all or a substantial number of our clients’ accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab. In addition to investment research, Schwab also makes available additional tools and services such as: • Software and other technology that provides access to client account data • Facilitation of trade execution and the allocation of blocked orders for multiple accounts • Research, pricing and other market data • The payment of our fees directly from your account, if authorized in your advisory agreement • Assistance with back-office functions, recordkeeping and client reporting Services that generally benefit only us: Schwab also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services include: • Services related to the management and development of our business, such as compliance, technology, legal, and business consulting • Educational events and conferences, including covering travel costs and other associated expenses, or occasional business entertainment of our employees • Publications and conferences on practice management and business succession • Access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, and insurance providers • Marketing consulting and support Schwab may provide some of these services itself. In other cases, it will arrange for third-party vendors to provide the services to us. Schwab may also discount or waive its fees for some of these services or pay all or a part of a third party’s fees. The software, technology, and account access that Schwab provides creates an operational and compliance benefit for USPW that does not necessarily translate directly into a client benefit. While we believe that Schwab is competitive and provides good value to our clients overall, the efficiencies provided to us create an incentive for us to recommend Schwab over other custodians. In some cases, this means that clients could pay more for custody and execution through the custodian we recommend than through others. We review the capacities and costs of Schwab regularly to ensure that our clients are receiving quality executions and competitive pricing, as well as more intangible service benefits. Research and other Soft Dollar Benefits/ Products and services available to us from Pershing Although not considered “soft dollar” compensation, USPW receive benefits from PAS for research services to include reports, software, and institutional trading support. The receipt of additional benefits gives us an incentive to require that you maintain your account with PAS based on our interest in receiving PAS’ services rather than your interest in receiving the best value and the most favorable execution of your transactions. This is a conflict of interest. We believe, however, that our selection of PAS as custodian and broker is in the best interests of our clients. Our belief is primarily supported by the scope and quality of services PAS provides to our clients and not services that benefit only us. Additionally, these benefits are offered to all investment advisers that use PAS for brokerage and execution services and not just our firm. To mitigate the existence of this conflict, on a periodic basis, we conduct a review of the full range 27 and quality of PAS’ services, including execution quality, commission rate, the value of research provided, financial strength, and responsiveness to our requests for trade data and other information. USPW understands its duty for best execution and considers all factors in making recommendations to clients. These research services may be useful in servicing all USPW clients, and may not be used in connection with any particular account that may have paid compensation to the firm providing such services. While USPW may not always obtain the lowest commission rate, USPW believes the rate is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. Brokerage for Client Referrals We do not consider client referrals as a factor in selecting or recommending broker-dealers. We also have no arrangements or processes in place to direct client transactions to a particular broker-dealer in return for client referrals. Directed Brokerage Because we recommend PAS and Schwab as custodian and choose to execute our transactions solely through PAS and/or Schwab, we are effectively requiring clients to “direct” their brokerage to PAS and Schwab. Not all advisers execute through a single broker-dealer or require their clients to do so. Because we are not selecting a broker on a trade-by-trade basis, we may not be able to achieve the most favorable execution of client transactions and this practice may cost clients more money. As disclosed above, however, PAS and Schwab permit trade aggregation, and are obligated to seek best execution for the trades executed through them. Notwithstanding the above, USPW may, on a case-by-case basis, accept instruction from you to direct transactions to a broker dealer other than PAS or Schwab. Trade Aggregation and Allocation USPW is authorized to aggregate purchases and sales and other transactions made for your account with purchases and sales in the same securities for other client accounts of ours held at the same custodian. When we aggregate transactions, the actual prices applicable to the aggregated transactions will be averaged, and the account will be deemed to have purchased or sold its proportionate share of the securities or instruments involved at the average price obtained. Stock exchange regulations may in certain instances prevent the executing broker-dealer from delivering to the account a confirmation slip with respect to its participation in the aggregated transaction and, in such event, we will advise you in writing of any purchase or disposition of instruments for the account with respect to any such aggregated transaction. We will direct that confirmations of any transactions effected for the account will be sent, in conformity with applicable law, to you. ITEM 13 – REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS Periodic Reviews Accounts are reviewed by Mr. Wall or another qualified investment advisory representative working with the account. All reviews are supervised by Mr. Wall. The frequency of reviews is based on your investment objectives, but no less than annually if needed. Review Triggers More frequent reviews are triggered by a change in your investment objectives; tax considerations; large deposits or withdrawals; large sales or purchases; loss of confidence in corporate management; or, 28 changes in economic climate. Regular Reports We do not provide ongoing or regular reports to our clients, other than the initial financial plan we provide at the beginning of a new client relationship. ITEM 14 – CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION Economic Benefits Provided by Third Parties for Advice Rendered to Clients We receive an economic benefit from PAS and Schwab in the form of the support products and services they make available to us and other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their accounts at PAS and Schwab. In addition, PAS and Schwab have also agreed to pay for certain products and services for which we would otherwise have to pay. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of interest are described above (see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices). Economic Benefits Received from Vendors and Product Sponsors Occasionally, our firm and our Associated Persons will receive additional compensation from vendors. Compensation includes such items as gifts; an occasional dinner or ticket to a sporting event; reimbursement in connection with educational meetings with an Associated Person, reimbursement for consulting services, client workshops, or events; or marketing events or advertising initiatives, including services for identifying prospective clients. Receipt of additional economic benefits presents a conflict of interest because our firm and Associated Persons have an incentive to recommend and use vendors based on the additional economic benefits obtained rather than solely on the client’s needs. We address this conflict of interest by recommending vendors that we, in good faith, believe are appropriate for the client’s particular needs. Clients are under no obligation contractually or otherwise, to use any of the vendors recommended by us. Compensation to Non-Advisory Personnel for Client Referrals USPW does not directly or indirectly compensate anyone outside of our firm for client referrals. ITEM 15 – CUSTODY USPW clients’ accounts are held by a qualified custodian and other than to withdraw advisory fees, as specified in your advisory agreement, we do not have authority to withdraw funds from individual client accounts. We are deemed to have custody due to the authority granted to us to deduct fees directly from client accounts. USPW shall have no liability for any loss or other harm to any property in the account. This includes harm to any property in the account resulting from the insolvency of the custodian or any unauthorized acts of the agents or employees of the custodian and whether or not the full amount or such loss is covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) or any other insurance which may be carried by the custodian. The client understands that SIPC provides only limited protection for the loss of property held by a broker-dealer. As a fiduciary, USPW will always act in the client’s best interests and in doing so, the above does not limit or modify that duty to our clients. Custodial statements will include the portfolio management fees we charged. We strongly urge you to review the investment advisory fees reflected on your custodial statement for accuracy and notify both USPW and the custodian promptly of any discrepancies. As described in Item 10 above, Michael Wall is the principal owner and Manager of Wall Private Capital, LLC (“WPC”) a Florida limited liability company under common control and ownership with our firm. WPC is in the business of directly, or indirectly through subsidiaries, managing, developing, and advising 29 various pooled investment vehicles that have been formed for the purpose of investing in various alternative investments, including real estate. USPW is deemed to have custody of client assets invested in pooled investment vehicles because its related persons serve as the Manager, and therefore have access to these pooled investment vehicles’ funds and securities. As required by relevant SEC rules and in conformity with industry practice, these pooled investment vehicles are subject to an audit at least annually and distribute their audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles to all respective investors. Also, as required, the audits are conducted by an independent public accountant that is registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in accordance with its rules. ITEM 16 – INVESTMENT DISCRETION We ask our clients to give us discretionary authority to execute transactions without our client’s prior approval. You grant us this authority by executing a limited power of attorney as part of our investment advisory agreement. These transactions may include the purchase and selling of securities, arranging for payments or generally acting on behalf of our clients in most matters necessary to the handling of the account. Investment discretion does not include the ability to obtain possession of the securities in a portfolio other than to process transactions in those securities, including the movement of securities or cash from one portfolio account to another registered in your name. In all cases, however, we will only exercise discretion in a manner consistent with your stated goals and investment objectives. At all times, you retain the authority to provide us with direction regarding investments, including limitations regarding types of securities and the timing of transactions. You must provide investment guidelines and restrictions to us in writing. In certain circumstances, we will request non-discretionary authority over our clients’ accounts. Non- discretionary authority requires us to obtain your prior approval of each specific transaction prior to executing investment recommendations. ITEM 17 – VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES USPW does not vote securities on a client’s behalf. Clients will receive their proxies or other solicitations directly from their custodian or a transfer agent. Clients retain the authority to vote all proxies for securities held in their account and will continue to do so until we otherwise may agree in writing. You should ensure that proxy ballots are sent to you directly by selecting this option on your custodial application forms. ITEM 18 – FINANCIAL INFORMATION USPW does not solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees six (6) months or more in advance and therefore does not need to provide a balance sheet. USPW has no financial issues that could impair our ability to carry out our fiduciary duty. USPW has never been the subject of a bankruptcy petition. ITEM 19 – REQUIREMENTS FOR STATE-REGISTERED ADVISERS This section is not applicable because our firm is SEC registered. 30
