Item 4 - Advisory Business
General Information
Weaver Capital Management, LLC (“WCM”) is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm that provides
private wealth management, discretionary investment management services and retirement plan
advisory services to our clients. We practice a fee-only business model and we are compensated
based on a percentage of assets under management. This fee-only platform places WCM in a fiduciary
role, thereby minimizing the inherent conflicts of interest found so frequently in traditional
brokerage firms.
Founded in 2005, WCM has a heritage that dates back over 30 years when DeWitt Weaver started
Linksman Financial in January 1993. The firm’s faith-based values have always been the cornerstone
of developing and implementing sound financial plans for clients.
Brochure Supplements,
Exhibit A,
DeWitt T. Weaver, III, is the founder and principal owner of WCM. Please see
for information on DeWitt and other WCM individuals who formulate investment advice
and have discretionary authority over client accounts.
As of December 31, 2024, WCM managed $433,414,807 on a discretionary basis, and $644,272 on a
non-discretionary basis. WCM does not participate in or offer any wrap programs.
SERVICES OFFERED
In the typical client relationship, we assist you with long- and short-term financial goals, lifestyle
expenses, retirement, education and estate plans. Our specialized financial planning enables you to
view in-depth projections regarding multiple aspects of your financial future. At the core, we offer
you a diligent investment management process based on sound principles of risk management.
We offer two levels of fee-only advisory services to you: Investment Management and Wealth
Management as described below.
Investment Management
For Investment Management clients we generally will:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Develop an Investment Strategy based on your unique goals and needs
Manage your portfolio in alignment with your investment strategy
Provide quantitative target goal projections and analysis for retirement and/or college
savings
Provide investment reports from time to time or as requested by you
Provide access to our network of CPAs, Attorneys, or Agents
Provide a customized personal wealth management website
You are taken through our Risk Profile Questionnaire to evaluate your attitudes towards risk. We
will use the results of this questionnaire along with other client assessments to assign you a suitable
investment model ranging from Preservation to Enhanced Growth.
Wealth Management
For the Wealth Management offering, in addition to the Investment Management services above we
generally will:
•
•
Prepare a Comprehensive Financial Plan
Plot a course for the achievement of financial independence
Page | 3
•
•
•
•
•
•
Provide assistance with setting other financial goals
Develop charitable giving strategies
Review and recommend tax strategies
Develop an Estate Plan and assess potential estate tax liability
Evaluate Life, Disability and Long-Term Care Insurance needs
Collaborate with your other professionals for implementation
Both service offerings above incorporate the Portfolio Management services detailed below:
Implementing Your Investment Plan
After the completion of the Risk Profile, we will assess your market experience, time horizon,
liquidity constraints and any other information vital to your Investment Plan. Based on the results
of this analysis, we present an Investment Model to you that we feel best aligns with your ability to
tolerate risk. After reviewing the market exposure, target returns and risks of the recommended
Investment Model, we validate the selection with you.
The Investment Plan will be updated when requested by you, or when determined to be necessary
or advisable by us based on updates to your financial or other circumstances.
To implement your Investment Plan, we will manage your investment portfolio on a discretionary or
a non-discretionary basis. As a discretionary investment adviser, we will have the authority to
supervise and direct the portfolio without prior consultation with you. Under a non-discretionary
arrangement, you must be contacted prior to the execution of any trade in your account(s) under
management. This can result in a delay in executing recommended trades, which could adversely
affect the performance of your portfolio. This delay also normally means the affected account(s) will
not be able to participate in block trades, a practice designed to enhance the execution quality, timing
and/or cost for all accounts included in the block. In a non-discretionary arrangement, you retain
the responsibility for the final decision on all actions taken with respect to your portfolio.
Additionally, you may impose certain written restrictions on us in the management of your
investment portfolio, such as prohibiting the inclusion of certain types of investments in an
investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments held in the account at the
commencement of our relationship. You should note, however, that restrictions imposed by you may
adversely affect the composition and performance of your investment portfolio. For these and other
reasons, performance of client investment portfolios within the same investment objectives, goals
and/or risk tolerance may differ. Furthermore, you should not expect that the composition or
performance of your investment portfolio would necessarily be consistent with clients in similar
Investment Models of ours.
Individual Retirement Advice
When we are making investment recommendations to you regarding your retirement plan account
or individual retirement account, we are acting as 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. The way we make money or otherwise are
compensated creates some conflicts with your financial interests, so we operate under a special rule
that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours.
Page | 4
Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give
prudent advice) to you;
Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
Charge no more than what is reasonable for our services; and
Give you basic information about our conflicts of interest.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
We provide comprehensive consulting services to employer sponsored retirement plans, including
401(k), pension and profit-sharing plans (the “Plan(s)”). These services may include:
•
•
•
•
Retirement plan design and communications;
Retirement plan service provider search;
Retirement plan investment advisory services; including investment analysis, selection,
implementation, and ongoing monitoring of plan investments; and
Participant educational services and retirement education.
When we provide advice to Plan fiduciaries on investment management issues, we act as co-fiduciary
within the meaning of ERISA § 3(21)(A)(ii). To the extent that we exercise discretion over the
management of Plan assets, we are also an investment manager within the meaning of ERISA § 3(38).
Establishing a sound fiduciary governance process is vital to good decision-making and to ensuring
that prudent procedural steps are followed in making investment decisions. We will provide
Retirement Plan consulting services to Plans and Plan Fiduciaries as described below. The particular
services provided will be detailed in the consulting agreement. The appropriate Plan Fiduciary(ies)
designated in the Plan documents (e.g., the Plan sponsor or named fiduciary) will (i) make the
decision to retain our firm; (ii) agree to the scope of the services that we will provide; and (iii) make
the ultimate decision to accept any of the recommendations that we may provide. The Plan
Fiduciaries are free to seek independent advice about the appropriateness of any recommended
services for the Plan. Retirement Plan consulting services may be offered individually or as part of a
comprehensive suite of services.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) sets forth rules under which Plan
Fiduciaries may retain investment advisers for various types of services with respect to Plan assets.
For certain services, we will be considered a fiduciary under ERISA. For example, we will act as an
ERISA § 3(21) fiduciary when providing non-discretionary investment advice to the Plan Fiduciaries
by recommending a suite of investments as choices among which Plan Participants may select. Also,
to the extent that the Plan Fiduciaries retain us to act as an investment manager within the meaning
of ERISA § 3(38), we will provide discretionary investment management services to the Plan.

Services
Investment Selection Services

We will provide Plan Fiduciaries with recommendations of investment options consistent
with ERISA section 404(c). Plan Fiduciaries retain responsibility for the final determination
of investment options and for compliance with ERISA section 404(c).
Management
Services
Fiduciary
• Discretionary Management Services
When retained as an investment manager within the meaning of ERISA § 3(38), we provide
continuous and ongoing supervision over the designated retirement plan assets. We will
actively monitor the designated retirement plan assets and provide ongoing management of
the assets. When applicable, we will have discretionary authority to make all decisions to
buy, sell or hold securities, cash or other investments for the designated retirement plan
assets in our sole discretion without first consulting with the Plan Fiduciaries. We also have
the power and authority to carry out these decisions by giving instructions, on your behalf,
to brokers and dealers and the qualified custodian(s) of the Plan for our management of the
designated retirement plan assets.
• Discretionary Investment Selection Services
We will monitor the investment options of the Plan and add or remove investment options
for the Plan without prior consultation with the Plan Fiduciaries. We will have discretionary
authority to make and implement all decisions regarding the investment options that are
available to Plan Participants.
Investment Management via Model Portfolios
•
Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
We will provide discretionary management of Model Portfolios among which the participants
may choose to invest as Plan options. Plan Participants will also have the option of investing
only in options that do not include Model Portfolios (i.e., the Plan Participants may elect to
invest in one or more of the mutual fund options made available in the Plan and choose not
to invest in the Model Portfolios at all).
Investment Advisory Fees
We practice a fee-only business model and are compensated based on a percentage of assets under
management. The annual fee schedule is as follows:
Account Balance Annual Fee
First $2,500,000
Next $2,500,000
Balance above $5,000,000
1.00%*
0.75%
0.50%
* A minimum annual fee of $10,000 will be charged for Investment Management Services.
Accordingly, as an example, if an account is valued at $6,250,000, the fee on the first $2,500,000
would be calculated at 1.00% annually, the fee on the next $2,500,000 would be calculated at 0.75%
annually, while the balance of $1,250,000 would be assessed the lower fee of 0.50% per year.
Therefore, the entire Account would be subject to the blended rate of 0.80% per year.
Page | 6
Portfolio management fees are usually payable quarterly, in advance. Fees are prorated for capital
flows exceeding $5,000 in the prior quarter. If management begins after the start of a quarter, fees
will be prorated accordingly. With your authorization, and unless other arrangements are made, fees
are normally debited directly from your account(s). We may, at our discretion, make exceptions to
the foregoing or negotiate special fee arrangements where we deem appropriate under the
circumstances. If a client needs extensive financial planning, we may assess a separate fee, which
would be agreed upon in advance.
Once the fee is calculated, it is rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
On occasion, fees on certain accounts may be calculated by the custodian based on the average daily
value of the account and billed quarterly but on a schedule determined by each custodian.
For accounts with a margin balance, you are assessed the management fee based on the gross value
of the assets in the account. In other words, the account value on which the fee is calculated is not
reduced by the margin balance.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
Fees paid to us are exclusive of all custodial and transaction costs paid to your custodian, brokers or
for additional information.
other third-party consultants. Please see
Fees paid to us are also separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds,
ETFs (exchange traded funds) or other investment pools to their shareholders (generally including a
management fee and fund expenses, as described in each fund’s prospectus or offering materials).
You should review all fees charged by us, funds, custodians and others to fully understand the total
amount of fees paid by you for investment and financial-related services.
Either WCM or you may terminate your Investment Advisory Agreement at any time, subject to any
written notice requirements in the agreement. In the event of termination, any paid but unearned
fees will be promptly refunded to you based on the number of days that the account was managed,
and any fees due to us from you will be invoiced or deducted from your account prior to termination.
Retirement Plan Advisory Fees
Retirement Plan Advisory Services fees are individually determined and agreed upon with the Plan
fiduciary(ies) at the time of the engagement. Fees are typically based on the type of Plan, the services
requested, the complexity of the Plan, and other factors. The specific suite of services to be provided,
applicable fees and manner of fee collection are set forth in the agreement with each Plan.
Plan recordkeeping fees, third-party administrator fees, custody fees, trustee fees and any other
third-party fees are in addition to fees charged by us. Participants may also pay account related fees,
such as loan processing and maintenance fees, distribution processing fees, and investment
transaction fees.

We work with individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, corporations, trusts, estates and
charitable organizations. With some exceptions, the minimum portfolio value eligible for investment
advisory services is $2,500,000 and the annual minimum fee charged is $10,000. Under certain
Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
circumstances and in our sole discretion, we may negotiate such minimums.
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We invest in a broad range of securities including individual Large Cap stocks, Exchange Traded
Funds (“ETFs”), Mutual Funds and Individual Fixed Income securities for your accounts. Individual
securities are generally evaluated and selected based on a variety of factors, including, without
limitation, consistency of performance and free cash flow. We generally employ a long-term, value-
oriented investment focus for individual large cap stocks. Funds are evaluated based on fee structure,
portfolio manager, fund sponsor, overall ratings for safety and returns and other factors. Specifically,
we begin with an overview of the more than 5,000 funds available at Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., the
primary custodian of choice for us. The selection process begins by identifying quality funds in four
primary areas: US Stock funds; International funds; fixed income funds, and alternative funds. The
field is then narrowed by identifying the top 10% of each group in terms of its three-year total return
and its three-year Sortino ratio, which is a risk-adjusted measure of performance. The risk/reward
relationship is further explored by evaluating the standard deviation of a fund’s performance, as well
as other statistical studies. Finally, a comprehensive analysis is undertaken, evaluating the fund’s
management, macro market conditions, specific holdings in the fund, the net long and short positions
in the fund, and other factors.
Our Investment Models incorporate Global Equity funds of all market caps, Alternative Investment
Funds and Fixed Income Funds that exhibit consistent top tier performance. To further exercise
prudent risk management, we incorporate an allocation strategy that utilizes ETFs to adjust risk
levels in portfolios during times of negative market momentum and high market volatility. We may
also invest directly in equity securities where we deem appropriate.
In making selections of investments for your portfolio, we may use any of the following types of
analysis:
Fundamental Analysis
– involves review of the business and financial information about an
issuer.
Charting Analysis
– involves gathering and processing price and volume information for a
particular security.
Technical Analysis
– involves studying past price patterns and trends in the financial
markets to predict the direction of both the overall market and specific stocks.
Cyclical Analysis
– is a type of technical analysis that involves evaluating recurring price
patterns and trends.
Page | 8
Direct fixed income investments may be used as a strategic investment, as an instrument to fulfill
liquidity or income needs in a portfolio, or to add a component of capital preservation. We will
generally evaluate and select individual bonds or bond funds based on a number of factors including,
without limitation, rating, yield and duration.
From time to time, we may recommend that you invest a portion of your assets in one or more private
investment funds.
Risk of Loss
While we seek to diversify your investment portfolio across various asset classes consistent with
your Investment Plan in an effort to reduce risk of loss, all investment portfolios are subject to risks.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that your investment portfolio will be able to fully meet your
investment objectives and goals, or that investments will not lose money.
Below is a description of several of the principal risks that your investment portfolio faces.
Management Risks.
While we manage your investment portfolio based on our experience, research
and proprietary methods, the value of your investment portfolio will change daily based on the
performance of the underlying securities in which it is invested. Accordingly, your investment
portfolio is subject to the risk that we allocate your investments to individual securities and/or asset
classes that are adversely affected by unanticipated market movements, and the risk that our specific
investment choices could underperform their relevant indexes.
Risks of Investments in Mutual Funds, ETFs and Other Investment Pools.
As described above, we will
invest your portfolio in mutual funds, ETFs and other investment pools (“pooled investment funds”).
Investments in pooled investment funds are generally less risky than investing in individual
securities because of their diversified portfolio; however, these investments are still subject to risks
associated with the markets in which they invest. In addition, pooled investment funds’ success will
be related to the skills of their particular managers and their performance in managing your funds.
Pooled investment funds are also subject to risks due to regulatory restrictions applicable to
registered investment companies under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
Equity Market Risks.
We may invest portions of your assets directly into equity investments or into
pooled investment funds that invest in the stock market. As noted above, while pooled investments
have diversified portfolios that may make them less risky than investments in individual securities,
funds that invest in stocks and other equity securities are nevertheless subject to the risks of the
stock market. These risks include, without limitation, the risks that stock values will decline due to
daily fluctuations in the markets, and that stock values will decline over longer periods (e.g., bear
markets) due to general market declines in the stock prices for all companies, regardless of any
individual security’s prospects.
Fixed Income Risks.
We may invest portions of your assets directly into fixed income instruments,
such as bonds and notes, or may invest in pooled investment funds that invest in bonds and notes.
While investing in fixed income instruments, either directly or through pooled investment funds, is
generally less volatile than investing in stock (equity) markets, fixed income investments
nevertheless are subject to risks. These risks include, without limitation, interest rate risks (risks
that changes in interest rates will devalue the investments), credit risks (risks of default by
borrowers), or maturity risk (risks that bonds or notes will change value from the time of issuance
to maturity).
Page | 9
Foreign Securities Risks.
We may invest portions of your assets into pooled investment funds that
invest internationally. While foreign investments are important to the diversification of your
investment portfolio, they carry risks that may be different from U.S. investments. For example,
foreign investments may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure standards,
practices or requirements comparable to those found in the U.S. Foreign investments are also subject
to foreign withholding taxes and the risk of adverse changes in investment or exchange control
regulations. Finally, foreign investments may involve currency risk, which is the risk that the value
of the foreign security will decrease due to changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and the
security’s underlying foreign currency.
Margin Risk.
As a general practice, we do not use margin in investment strategies. However, you may
elect to borrow funds against your investment portfolio. When securities are purchased, they may be
paid for in full or you may borrow part of the purchase price from the account custodian. If you
borrow part of the purchase price, you are engaging in margin transactions and there is risk involved
with this. The securities held in a margin account are collateral for the custodian that loaned you
money. If those securities decline in value, then the value of the collateral supporting your loan also
declines. As a result, the brokerage firm is required to take action in order to maintain the necessary
level of equity in your account. The brokerage firm may issue a margin call and/or sell other assets
in your account. It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in trading securities on
margin, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Item 9 - Disciplinary Information
You can lose more funds than you deposit in your margin account;
The account custodian can force the sale of assets in your account;
The account custodian can sell your assets without contacting you first;
You are not entitled to choose which assets in your margin account may be sold to meet a
margin call;
The account custodian can increase its “house” maintenance margin requirements at any
time without advance written notice; and
You are not entitled to an extension of time on a margin call.
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or
disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of us or the integrity of our
Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
management. We have no disciplinary events to report.
Neither WCM nor our Management Person has any other financial industry activities or affiliations
to report.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics and Personal Trading
We have adopted a Code of Ethics (“the Code”), the full text of which is available to you upon request.
Our Code has several goals. First, the Code is designed to assist us in complying with applicable laws
and regulations governing our investment advisory business. Under the Investment Advisers Act of
1940, we owe fiduciary duties to you. Pursuant to these fiduciary duties, the Code requires persons
associated with us (managers, officers and employees) to act with honesty, good faith and fair dealing
Page | 10
in working with you. In addition, the Code prohibits such associated persons from trading or
otherwise acting on insider information.
Next, the Code sets forth guidelines for professional standards for our associated persons. Under the
Code’s Professional Standards, we expect our associated persons to put the interests of our clients
first, ahead of personal interests. In this regard, our associated persons are not to take inappropriate
advantage of their positions in relation to you.
Third, the Code sets forth policies and procedures to monitor and review the personal trading
activities of associated persons. From time to time, our associated persons may invest in the same
securities recommended to you. Under the Code, we have adopted procedures designed to reduce or
eliminate conflicts of interest that this could potentially cause. The Code’s personal trading policies
include procedures for limitations on personal securities transactions of associated persons,
reporting and review of such trading and pre-clearance of personal trading activities. These policies
are designed to discourage and prohibit personal trading that would disadvantage you. The Code
also provides for disciplinary action as appropriate for violations.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
As outlined above, we have adopted procedures to protect your interests when our associated
persons invest in the same securities as those selected for or recommended to you. In the event of
any identified potential trading conflicts of interest, our goal is to place your interests first.
Consistent with the foregoing, we maintain policies regarding participation in initial public offerings
(“IPOs”) and private placements to comply with applicable laws and avoid conflicts with your
transactions. If our associated person wishes to participate in an IPO or invest in a private placement,
he or she must submit a pre-clearance request and obtain the approval of the Chief Compliance
Officer.
Finally, when associated persons trade with your accounts (i.e., in a bundled or aggregated trade),
and the trade is not filled in its entirety, the associated person’s shares will be removed from the
block, and the balance of shares will be allocated among client accounts in accordance with our
written policy.
Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
Best Execution and Benefits of Brokerage Selection
When given discretion to select the brokerage firm that will execute orders in your accounts, we seek
“best execution” for client trades, which is a combination of a number of factors, including, without
limitation, quality of execution, services provided and commission rates. Therefore, we may use or
recommend the use of brokers who do not charge the lowest available commission in the recognition
of research and securities transaction services, or quality of execution. Research services received
with transactions may include proprietary or third-party research (or any combination), and may be
used in servicing any or all of our clients. Therefore, research services received may not be used for
the account for which the particular transaction was effected.
We recommend that you establish brokerage account(s) with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”),
a FINRA registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, as qualified custodian to maintain custody of your
assets. We also effect trades for your accounts at Schwab, or may in some instances, consistent with
our duty of best execution and specific agreement with you, elect to execute trades elsewhere.
Although we may recommend that you establish accounts at Schwab, it is ultimately your decision to
Page | 11
custody assets with Schwab. We are independently owned and operated and are not affiliated with
Schwab.
Schwab provides us with access to its institutional trading, custody, reporting and related services,
which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. Schwab also makes available various
support services. Some of these services help us manage or administer your accounts while others
help us manage and grow our business. These services generally are available to independent
investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them. These services are not soft dollar
arrangements but are part of the institutional platform offered by Schwab. Schwab’s brokerage
services include the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, and access to mutual
funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or
would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment.
For your accounts maintained in its custody, Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody
services but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other fees on trades that it
executes or that settle into your Schwab account. Certain trades may not incur Schwab commissions
or transaction fees. Schwab is also compensated by earning interest on the uninvested cash in your
account. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to us other products and services that benefit
us but may not directly benefit our clients’ accounts. Many of these products and services may be
used to service all or some substantial number of our accounts, including accounts not maintained at
Schwab.
Schwab’s products and services that assist us in managing and administering clients’ accounts
include software and other technology that (i) provide access to client account data (such as trade
confirmations and account statements); (ii) facilitate trade execution and allocate aggregated trade
orders for multiple client accounts; (iii) provide pricing and other market data; (iv) facilitate payment
of our fees from our clients’ accounts; and (v) assist with back-office functions, recordkeeping and
client reporting.
Schwab Advisor Services also offers other services intended to help us manage and further develop
our business enterprise. These services may include: (i) technology, compliance, legal and business
consulting; (ii) publications and conferences on practice management and business succession; and
(iii) access to employee benefits providers, human capital consultants and insurance providers.
Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay third-party vendors for the types of services
rendered to us. Schwab Advisor Services may discount or waive fees it would otherwise charge for
some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to us.
Schwab Advisor Services may also provide other benefits such as educational events or occasional
business entertainment of our personnel. In evaluating whether to recommend that you custody
your assets at Schwab, we may take into account the availability of some of the foregoing products
and services and other arrangements as part of the total mix of factors we consider and not solely on
the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which may create
a potential conflict of interest.
Item 13 - Review of Accounts
DeWitt Weaver, WCM’s President, reviews all accounts monthly, during scheduled Investment
Committee Review meetings. Investments are tracked at least weekly, or more often if conditions
merit or at your request.
Page | 12
We meet with each client periodically, based on their preferences, to review their portfolio in detail
and make any necessary adjustments to the investment allocation.
Managed portfolios are reviewed at least annually but may be reviewed more often if requested by
the client, upon receipt of information material to the management of the portfolio, or at any time
such a review is deemed necessary or advisable by WCM. These factors generally include, but are
not limited to, the following: a change in general client circumstances (marriage, divorce,
retirement); or economic, political or market conditions.
For clients under the Wealth Management service offering, financial plans are reviewed on an as-
needed or agreed upon basis.
Account custodians are responsible for providing monthly or quarterly account statements which
reflect the positions, current pricing, transactions and fees paid. Account custodians also provide
prompt confirmation of all trading activity, and year-end tax statements, such as 1099 forms. From
time to time, WCM may provide summary performance reports with additional information.
Investment advisory reports are also available daily via our portal.
Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation

Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. is the primary custodian of your account. From time to time however, you
may select alternative brokers to hold your account in custody. In any case, it is the custodian’s

***A Certified Exit Planner (“CEPA”) is a professional who specializes in helping business owners
develop a plan for transitioning out of their businesses. Established by the Exit Planning Institute
(“EPI”) in 2007, the CEPA designation underscores the institute’s commitment to empowering
global professional advisors with the necessary education to assist business owners as they exit. A
CEPA’s aim is to help business owners realize maximum value and facilitate a business transition
according to their own terms. The EPI’s primary focus is to ensure the success of these business
owners through informed guidance and strategic planning. The Certified Exit Planning Advisor,
CEPA designation is for financial advisors and other professionals (attorneys, business brokers,
Certified Public Accountants, etc.) who wish to support business owners with exit planning. This
program helps advisors provide comprehensive exit planning solutions to business owners. The
Value Acceleration Methodology, a proprietary framework developed by the EPI, focuses on three
major components: value growth, value protection, and value transfer. To obtain the CEPA
designation, advisors undergo a rigorous four-day course and must pass a proctored exam. With
this certification, a CEPA can help business owners figure out their goals on a professional,
financial, and personal level. CEPA certified professionals have greater knowledge of exit planning
than a traditional financial advisor. They can help business owners with planned exit strategies,
and also help them to be prepared in the event of an unplanned event like disability, divorce, or
death.
