Firm Information Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. (“Firm”, “Wharton” or the “Advisor”) is a Connecticut corporation. Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. is a registered investment advisor (“RIA”) with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The principal owner of the firm is Paul Harrigan. This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory services provided by the Advisor. Information regarding advisory personnel is included in each advisory person’s Form ADV2B (“Brochure Supplement”), which are included within this document. For purposes of this ADV, the term “advisory persons” are defined as persons engaged in the advisory business of the firm, whether or not they are engaged as employees or independent contractors of Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. for this purpose. B. Advisory Services Offered Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and pension/profit sharing plans (each referred to as a “Client”). Investment Management Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing non- discretionary investment management and consulting services. The Advisor works with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio allocation. The Advisor will then construct a portfolio, consisting of equity securities (exchange-listed securities, securities traded over the counter (OTC), and foreign issuers), debt securities (government treasuries, corporate, municipal and agency debt), and investment company securities (variable life insurance, variable annuities, exchange-traded funds, and mutual fund shares). The Advisor may utilize other types of investments, as necessary, to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor’s investment strategy is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. The Advisor will construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to the acceptance by the Advisor. Wharton evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying their internal due diligence process. The Advisor may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. The Advisor may recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement. The Advisor may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Prior to rendering investment advisory services, Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. will ascertain, in conjunction with the Client, the Client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objective[s]. Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. will provide investment advisory services and portfolio management services and will not provide securities custodial or other administrative services. At no time will the Advisor accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities. All Client assets will be managed within their designated brokerage account or pension account, pursuant to the Client Investment Advisory Agreement. Ambassador Account (“Ambassador”) WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 4 The Ambassador Account is a wrap fee-based account, offered by the Advisor and administered by Raymond James and Associates (“RJA”) in which you are provided with ongoing investment advice and monitoring of securities holdings. Your Investment Advisor Representative (IAR) will manage your account on a discretionary (provided certain qualifications are met) or non-discretionary basis according to your objective. This account offers you the ability to pay an asset-based advisory fee. A portion of the advisory fee is paid to RJA for administrative services. Your IAR receives a portion of the fee for services provided under the agreement. There is a minimum investment of $25,000 for Ambassador Accounts, although smaller accounts may be accepted based upon the specific circumstances of an account. The advisory fees for Ambassador Accounts are disclosed below at Item 5 Fees and Compensation. Financial Planning and Consulting Services Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. will typically provide a variety of financial planning services to individuals and families, pursuant to a written Financial Planning or Consulting Agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals, objectives and financial situation. Generally, such financial planning services will involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings and other areas of a Client’s financial situation. A financial plan developed for or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example, recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs. The Advisor may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly. Financial planning and consulting recommendations may pose a potential conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. Clients are not obligated to implement any recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through the Advisor. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include: • Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc., in connection with the Client, may develop a statement that summarizes the Client’s investment goals and objectives along with the broad strategy[ies] to be employed to meet the objectives. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to the acceptance by the Advisor. • Asset Allocation – The Advisor will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client. WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 5 • Portfolio Construction – The Advisor will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client. • Investment Management and Supervision – The Advisor will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s portfolio and overall account. D. Wrap Fee Programs Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided directly by the Advisor. E. Assets Under Management Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. manages $0 in discretionary and $140, 675,095 in non- discretionary assets for a total of $140,675,095 as of December 31, 2023. Clients may request more current information at any time by contacting the Advisor. Item 5 – Fees and Compensation The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the Advisor. Each Client shall sign an Investment Advisory Agreement that details the responsibilities of Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. and the Client. A. Fees for Advisory Services Investment Management Investment Advisory Fees are paid quarterly in advance pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement. Investment Advisory Fees are based on the market value of assets under management at the end of each calendar quarter. Our standard Investment Advisory Fees range from 2.00% to 1.00% based on the following schedule: Assets Under Management First $200,000 Next $300,000 Over $500,000 Annual Rate 2.00% 1.50% 1.00% Investment Advisory Fees in the first quarter of service are prorated to the inception date of the account to the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management with Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by the Advisor will be independently valued by the designated Custodian. The Advisor will not have the authority or responsibility to value portfolio securities. Ambassador Accounts (“Ambassador”) The Ambassador Account (“Ambassador”) is a wrap investment advisory account, administered by Raymond James & Associates (RJA), which offers you, on a non-discretionary basis (or discretionary, provided certain qualifications are met), the ability to pay an advisory fee on the assets in your account The standard advisory fees for Ambassador Accounts are as follows: Fee-Based Relationship Value First $1,000,000 Next $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 Next $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 Next $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 Annualize Fee 2.25% 2.00% 1.75% 1.50% WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 6 Over $10,000,000 1.25% The annual asset-based fee is paid quarterly in advance. When an account is opened, the asset-based fee is billed for the remainder of the current billing period and is based on the initial contribution. Thereafter, the quarterly asset-based fee is paid in advance, is based on the account asset value on the last business day of the previous calendar quarter, and becomes due the following business day. Ambassador advisory fees may be negotiable at the discretion of the advisor. For purposes of calculating and assessing the asset-based fees please reference the COMPENSATION CONSIDERATIONS section below. You authorize and direct RJA when acting as Custodian, to deduct asset-based fees from your account; you further authorize and direct the Custodian to send a quarterly statement to you which shows all amounts disbursed from your account, including the fees paid to Wharton. You understand that your brokerage statement will show the amount of the asset-based fee, the value of the assets on which the fee was based, and the days used to calculate fees. You may also incur charges for other services provided by Wharton, through RJA, not directly related to the advisory, execution and clearing services provided including, but not limited to, IRA custodial fees, safekeeping fees, charges/interest for maintenance of margin and/or short positions and fees for legal or courtesy transfers of securities. Your Agreement may be terminated by you or us at any time upon providing notice pursuant to the provisions of our Agreement. In the event of termination of your Agreement, we will refund to you the prorated portion of the fee for the quarter of termination. There is no penalty for terminating your agreement. There is a minimum initial investment of $25,000 for Ambassador accounts. Special Consideration Accounts with no trades, or a very limited number of trades may create a financial incentive and conflict of interest for a financial advisor to recommend maintenance of the Ambassador account over converting to a brokerage account (if available) and paying commission on a per trade basis. In making the determination whether an Ambassador account is appropriate for you, you (in consultation with your financial advisor) should carefully consider all relevant factors, which may include your past and anticipated trading practices and holdings of assets, the costs and potential benefits of the program, the level of service provided, and your investment objectives and goals. In addition, because some or all of these considerations may change over time, you and your financial advisor should re-evaluate periodically whether this account is appropriate under the circumstances then prevailing. COMPENSATION CONSIDERATIONS Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. offers programs administered or sponsored by RJA through its Asset Management Services Division. As such, RJA plans are subject to the following asset-based fee provisions: • ACCOUNT VALUE For purposes of calculating and assessing asset-based fees, RJA uses the term “Account Value”, which may be different than the asset value as reported on brokerage statements provided to you. Pursuant to the investment management or advisory agreement, Account Value is defined as the total absolute value of the billable securities in the Account, long or short, plus all credit balances, with no offset for any margin or debit balances. WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 7 • ADMINISTRATIVE-ONLY INVESTMENTS Accounts that hold Administrative-Only Investments do not have the value of these investments included in the relationship value used to calculate the advisory fee. In select account programs, certain securities may be held in your account and designated “Administrative-Only Investments”. There are two primary categories of Administrative-Only Investments: Client-designated and Raymond James-designated. Client-designated Administrative-Only Investments may be designated by financial advisors that do not wish to collect an advisory fee on certain assets, while Raymond James-designated Administrative-Only Investments are designated as such by RJA in conformance with internal policy. For example, a financial advisor may make an arrangement with a client that holds a security that the financial advisor did not recommend or the client wishes to hold for an extended period of time and does not want their financial advisor to sell for the foreseeable future. In such cases the financial advisor may elect to waive the advisory fee on this security, but allow it to be held in your advisory account – such designations fall into the Client-designated category. Alternatively, RJA may determine that certain securities may be held in an advisory account but are temporarily not eligible for the advisory fee (such as for mutual funds purchased with a front-end sales charge through RJA within the last two years, new issues and syndicate offerings). Assets designated by RJA as temporarily exempt from the advisory fee fall into the Raymond James-designated category. Investments held in Ambassador Accounts may be composed of mutual fund shares only (both load and no-load funds may be utilized), individual equity and fixed income securities, or a combination of mutual fund shares and individual securities. With respect to load funds, only such funds for which the sales charge has been waived, pursuant to SEC Rules, may be purchased and eligible for the advisory fee in these programs. Clients may hold fund shares purchased in a commission-based account and assessed a front-end load at RJA in a fee-based Ambassador account. However, RJA will designate these shares as Administrative-Only assets for two years from their original purchase date, and no advisory fee will be charged during this period. Likewise, mutual fund shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, “CDSC” or back-end load (typically class B and C shares), will be designated as Administrative-Only assets, and no advisory fees will be assessed as long as these shares are held. This two-year exclusion period (or “Two Year Rule”) has been implemented by RJA to avoid clients being assessed both a load and an advisory fee on the same asset, but only applies to load funds purchased through RJA. The maintenance of assets in an advisory account that are not being assessed an advisory fee introduces a potential conflict that the financial advisor’s advice may be biased as a result of their not being compensated on this asset. As a result, the financial advisor may recommend a course of action in their and not your best interest (such as selling the security to increase the financial advisor’s compensation. • 12B-1 TRAILS Investments in Ambassador Accounts with 12b-1 trails for billing eligible (NOT Administrative-Only) mutual funds, when received, will be credited to client accounts bi-monthly. Any credits will appear on client’s brokerage statement as a “Mutual Fund Fee Credit.” In Ambassador accounts, 12b-1 trails for non-billable, Administrative-Only mutual funds will be paid to the financial advisor, when applicable. • BILLING ON CASH BALANCES RJA assesses advisory fees on cash sweep balances and money market funds (“cash”) held in advisory accounts. WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 8 Billing on cash balances, particularly when the cash balance is maintained for an extended period of time or comprises a significant portion of the Account Value, may create a financial incentive for a financial advisor to recommend maintenance of this cash versus investing in an otherwise advisory fee-eligible security. Clients should periodically re-evaluate whether their maintenance of a cash balance is appropriate in light of their financial situation and investment goals, and should understand that this cash may be held outside of their advisory account and not subject to advisory fees. Please refer to RJA program disclosure documents for a complete description of RJA policies and services. ADDITIONAL EXPENSES NOT INCLUDED IN THE ASSET-BASED ADVISORY FEE As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in mutual funds and exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange traded funds (described in each fund’s prospectus) to their shareholders. You should understand that the annual advisory fees charged in the programs are in addition to the management and operating expenses charged by open-end, closed-end and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). To the extent that you intend to hold fund shares for an extended period of time, it may be more economical for you to purchase fund shares outside of these programs. You may be able to purchase mutual funds directly from their respective fund families without incurring the advisory fee. When purchasing directly from fund families, you may incur a front or back-end sales charge. For information on our brokerage practices, please refer to the “Brokerage Practices” section of this Disclosure Brochure. Certain open-end mutual funds that may be acquired by clients, may, in addition to assessing management fees, internally assess a distribution fee pursuant to section 12(b)-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or an administrative or service fee (“trail”). Trails are included in the calculation of the annual operating expenses of a mutual fund and are disclosed in the fund prospectus. If received on RJA sponsored Ambassador and Ambassador advisory accounts with fee-eligible mutual funds, trails will be credited bi-monthly (as applicable) to the client’s account(s) to offset advisory fees incurred by clients. You should also understand that the shares of certain mutual funds offered in these programs impose short-term trading charges (typically 1%-2% of the amount originally invested) for redemptions generally made within short periods of time. These short- term charges are imposed by the funds (and not Wharton) to deter “market timers” who trade actively in fund shares. You should consider these short-term trading charges when selecting the program and/or mutual funds in which they invest. These charges, as well as operating expenses and management fees, may increase the overall annual cost to you by 1%-2% (or more). More information is available in each fund’s prospectus. You should be aware that ETFs incur a separate management fee, typically 0.20%-0.40% of the fund’s assets annually (although individual ETFs may have higher or lower expense ratios), which is assessed by the fund directly and not by Wharton. This management fee is in addition to the ongoing advisory fee assessed by Wharton, and will generally result in clients which utilize an SMA Manager or Investment Strategy that invests in ETFs paying more than clients utilizing one that -invests in individual securities, without taking into effect negotiated asset-based fee discounts, if any. Certain no-load variable annuities and indexed annuities may be purchased in or transferred into accounts in the Ambassador or Ambassador programs and may be charged an asset-based advisory fee. The annual advisory fees charged for these no-load variable annuities are in addition to the annual management fees and operating expenses (which are typically higher than either mutual funds or ETFs) charged by the insurance companies offering these products. WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 9 You may also incur charges for other account services provided by RJA including, but not limited to, IRA custodial fees, safekeeping fees, interest charges on margin loans, and fees for legal or courtesy transfers of securities. A list of RJA other account service charges can be viewed online at http://www.raymondjames.com/services_and_charges.htm or obtained from your financial advisor. You may terminate the investment advisory or management agreement by providing notice to our firm in accordance with the notice provisions in the advisory agreement you sign when you engage our firm. You will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the investment advisory agreement, which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the number of days in the quarter for which you are a client. If you have pre-paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of those fees Financial Planning and Consulting Services Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. offers financial planning or consulting services on an hourly basis at a rate of up to $500 per hour, which may be negotiable depending on the nature and complexity of each Client’s circumstances. An estimate for total hours will be determined prior to establishing the advisory relationship. The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. The hourly fees are determined after considering many factors, such as the level and scope of the services. B. Fee Billing Investment Management Investment Advisory Fees may be automatically deducted from the Client Account by the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client Account at the respective quarter end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with the Advisor at the end of each quarter. Clients will be provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the Investment Advisory Fee. In addition, the Advisor will provide the Client a report itemizing the fee, including the calculation period covered by the fee, the account value and the methodology used to calculate the fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees as listed on the custodian’s brokerage statement as the Custodian does not assume this responsibility. Clients provide written authorization permitting the Advisor to be paid directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the Investment Advisory Agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Financial Planning and Consulting Services Financial planning and consulting fees are generally invoiced 50% upon execution of the Financial Planning and Consulting Agreement and 50% upon receipt of the agreed-upon deliverable. C. Other Fees and Expenses Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than the Advisor, in connection with investment made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custodial and securities execution fees charged by the custodian and executing broker-dealer. The Investment Advisory Fee charged by the Advisor is separate and distinct from these custodian and execution fees. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information. In addition, all fees paid to the Advisor for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 10 expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client could invest in these products directly, without the services of the Advisor, but would not receive the services provided by the Advisor which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products or services are most appropriate to each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by Advisor to fully understand the total fees to be paid. D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination Investment Management Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. is compensated for its services in advance of the quarter in which investment advisory services are rendered. Clients may request to terminate their Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor, in whole or in part, by providing advance written notice. The Client shall be responsible for Investment Advisory Fees up to and including the effective date of termination. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid Investment Advisory Fees from the effective date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s Investment Advisory Agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s written approval. Financial Planning and Consulting Services In the event that a Client should wish to cancel the financial planning agreement under which any plan is being created, the Client shall be billed for actual hours logged on the planning project times the agreed-upon hourly rate. Any surplus in the Advisor's possession as the result of collecting a deposit at the time of signing the financial planning agreement will be returned to the Client within 30 business days of cancellation. Either party may terminate a planning or consulting agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other party. In addition, the Client may terminate the agreement within thirty (30) days of signing the Advisor’s financial planning or consulting agreement at no cost to the Client. After the thirty-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Refunds will be given on a pro-rata basis. E. Compensation for Sales of Securities The receipt of commissions by Paul Harrigan, who functions also as a registered representative of Wharton MidMarket Securities, Inc., presents a conflict of interest that may give advisory persons of the Advisor the incentive to recommend products and services where a commission is earned. Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. addresses this conflict in two ways. First, the Advisor will always disclose all compensation to clients. Second, the Advisor will not charge an asset-based fee on the same investment assets when commissions are also received. While the Advisor shall always act in the best interests of its advisory clients, Clients are advised that they are not required to purchase any investments recommended by the Advisor and that they could purchase the same or similar products from other broker-dealers that are not affiliated with the Advisor. Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by the Advisor are as described in “Item 5 – Fees and Compensation” above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any Client. The Advisor does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients. WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 11 Item 7 – Types of Clients Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. offers investment advisory services primarily to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and pension/profit sharing plans in Connecticut and other states. The relative percentage of each type of Client is available on the Advisor’s Form ADV Part 1. These percentages will change over time. The Advisor generally does not impose a minimum account size for establishing a relationship. Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss A. Methods of Analysis Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. primarily employs fundamental analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its Clients. Research and analysis from the Advisor is derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies, third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports, prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others. As noted above, the Advisor generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial goals. The Advisor will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for shorter periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, the Advisor may also buy and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals of the security, sector or asset class. B. Risk of Loss Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. The Advisor will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will meet their investment goals. Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. These criteria are generally ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that the Advisor will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence. When pursuing a long-term purchases strategy, the Advisor assuming 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 or a particular investment that a Client is invested will go down over time even if the overall financial markets advance. In addition, purchasing investments long-term may create an opportunity cost - "locking-up" assets that may be better utilized in the short-term in other investments. Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon, tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 12 participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the analysis of a Client's account. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or other factors that may affect this analysis. The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts. The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction process. Margin Borrowings The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if securities pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to a "margin call", pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of mandatory liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value. General Investing Risks In addition, Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc.’s investment strategies may also include the following risks: • Manager Risk: the risk that an actively managed mutual fund's investment advisor will fail to execute the fund's stated investment strategy. • Market Risk: the risk that the financial markets will decline, decreasing the value of the securities • • contained within a Client’s investments. Industry Risk: the risk that a group of stocks in a single industry will decline in price due to adverse developments in that industry. Inflation Risk: the risk that the rate of price increases in the economy deteriorates the returns associated an investment. • Financial Risk: the risk that the investments we recommend to Clients may perform poorly, which will affect the value of a Client’s investment(s). • Political and Governmental Risk: the risk that the value of a Client’s investment(s) may change with the introduction of new laws or regulations. • Interest Rate Risk: the risk that the value of the bond investments will fall, if interest rates rise. • Call Risk: the risk that your bond investment will be called or purchased back when conditions are favorable to the bond issuer and unfavorable to Clients. • Default Risk: the risk that the bond issuer may be unable to pay the contractual interest or principal on a bond in a timely manner or at all. Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss these risks with the Advisor. Clients are reminded to also refer to any applicable third party's ADV, Prospectus and/or associated disclosure documents for details on their investment strategies, methods of analysis and associated risks.

Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Broker-Dealer and Insurance Activities Regarding management persons of the Investment Adviser, Paul Harrigan is also registered representative of an affiliated broker-dealer, Wharton MidMarket Securities, Inc. Mr. Harrigan is also a licensed insurance professional for life, accident and health, variable life and variable annuities, and property & casualty, and associated with Harrigan Insurance & Financial Services, Inc. as an insurance agent. Wharton MidMarket Advisors LLC does management consulting that is non-securities related. Mr. Harrigan has been involved with Wharton MidMarket Advisors since 2001.

Paul Harrigan may also recommend the purchase of securities offered by his broker-dealer, Wharton MidMarket Securities, Inc. Transactions effected through these entities will receive normal and customary commissions, which may be in addition to investment advisory fees. As such, Mr. Harrigan may have an incentive to sell you commissionable products in addition to providing you advisory services. Alternatively, Mr. Harrigan may also have an incentive to forego providing you with advisory services when appropriate, and instead recommend the purchase of commissionable investments, if the payout for recommending the purchase of these investments would be higher than providing management advice on these products for an advisory fee. Therefore, a conflict of interest may exist between the interests of Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. and Mr. Harrigan with the best interests of Clients. While security sales are reviewed for suitability by an appointed supervisor, Clients should be aware of these incentives and are encouraged to ask Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. about any potential conflict.

Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading A. Code of Ethics Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. has implemented a Code of Ethics that defines our fiduciary commitment to each Client.

Personal Trading with Material Interest Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. allows our employees to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. The Advisor does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. Unless a client is informed otherwise, the Advisor does not have a material interest in any securities traded in Client accounts. C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. allows our employees to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that we recommend (purchase or sell) to you presents a potential conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, we must disclose to you and mitigate through policies and procedures. As noted above, we have adopted, consistent with Section 204A of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, a Code of Ethics, which addresses insider trading (material non-public information controls) and personal securities reporting procedures. We have also adopted written policies and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information. We may have an interest or position in certain securities, which may also be recommended to you. In addition, the Code of Ethics governs Gifts and Entertainment given by and provided to the Advisor, outside employment activities of employees, Employee reporting, sanctions for violations of the Code of Ethics, and records retention requirements for various aspects of the Code of Ethics. D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client While Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. allows our employees to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased on behalf of Clients, these trades do not occur at the same time. For publicly traded securities, the Advisor will place trades only after Client orders have been placed and filled. At no time, will Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. or any associated person of the Advisor, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client. Item 12 – Brokerage Practices A. Recommendation of Custodian[s] Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. does not have discretionary authority to select the broker- dealer/custodian for custodial and execution services or the administrator for defined contribution accounts. The Client will select the broker-dealer or custodian (herein the "custodian") to safeguard Client assets and authorize the Advisor to direct trades to this custodian as agreed in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Further, the Advisor does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of our Clients on a trade-by-trade basis. Where Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. does not exercise discretion over the selection of the custodian, it may recommend the custodian[s] to Clients for execution and/or custodial services. Clients are not obligated to use the recommended custodian and will not incur any extra fee or cost associated with using a broker not recommended by the Advisor. The Advisor may recommend a custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to, reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and location of the custodian’s offices. The Advisor does not receive research services, other products, or compensation as a result of recommending a particular broker that may result in the Client paying higher commissions than those obtainable through other brokers. Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. will typically recommend Raymond James & Associates as the custodian and broker-dealer for Client accounts. The Advisor maintains institutional relationships with this unaffiliated firm. WHARTON MIDMARKET INVESTMENT ADVISORS, INC. 27 Brook Road, Woodbridge, CT 06525 Phone: (203) 606-9696 Page 15 Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor: 1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers whereby an advisor enters into an agreement to place security trades with the broker in exchange for research and other services. Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-dealer. 2. Brokerage Referrals – The Advisor does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the recommendation for establishing a brokerage account. 3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where the Advisor will place trades within the established account[s] at the custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within their respective brokerage account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). In selecting the custodian, the Advisor will not be obligated to select competitive bids on securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs are determined by the designated custodian. Directing brokerage may result in higher transaction costs to the Client. B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of order, 3) difficulty of execution, 4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the broker. The Advisor will execute its transactions through an unaffiliated broker-dealer selected by the Client. The Advisor may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or sold through the same broker-dealer for multiple (discretionary) accounts. If a block trade cannot be executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage particular Client accounts. Item 13 – Review of Accounts A. Frequency of Reviews Accounts are monitored on a regular basis by Paul Harrigan, Chief Compliance Officer of the Advisor. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more or less frequently depending on the needs of the Client. B. Causes for Reviews In addition to the general investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least annually. Reviews may be conducted more or less frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or withdrawals in the Client’s account. The Client is encouraged to notify the Advisor if changes occur in his/her personal financial situation that might adversely affect his/her investment plan. Additional reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events. C. Review Reports The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the trustee or custodian. These brokerage statements are sent directly from the custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.

For more information about custodians and brokerage practices, see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices. Item 16 – Investment Discretion Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. does not ordinarily accept discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts. The Advisor obtains prior consent or approval from the Client before transacting in Client accounts for all non-discretionary accounts. In circumstances in which clients would prefer the Advisor to accept discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in their accounts, clients approve the Advisor’s discretionary authority through acknowledgement on the Investment Advisory Agreement which provides limited power of authority for investment discretion. Additionally, clients may be required to formalize this approval through additional forms of limited power of attorney, etc. as required by Raymond James & Associates or other custodian at which their assets are held. Before the Advisor accepts discretion, the Advisor will engage in discussions with the client to ascertain their comfortability with risk, their time horizon, and other aspects to develop an Investment Policy for the client and their account(s) by which investment discretion decisions are guided. Item 17 – Voting Client Securities Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc. does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole responsibility for proxy decisions and voting. Item 18 – Financial Information Neither Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc., nor its management, has any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of the Advisor to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither Wharton MidMarket Investment Advisors, Inc., nor any of its advisory persons, has been subject to a bankruptcy or financial compromise.
