implementation  purposes,  including  certain of  Pennington Partners’  representatives  in their  individual 
capacities as licensed insurance agents. (See disclosure at Item 10). The client is under no obligation to

all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any recommendation from Pennington 
Partners. Please  Note: If the  client  engages  any such recommended professional, and a dispute arises 
thereafter relative to such engagement, the client agrees to seek recourse exclusively from and against 
the  engaged  professional.  Please  Also  Note:  It  remains  the  client’s  responsibility  to  promptly  notify 
Pennington Partners if there is ever any change in his/her/its financial situation or investment objectives 
for  the  purpose  of  reviewing/  evaluating/revising  Pennington  Partners’  previous  recommendations 
and/or services. 
MISCELLANEOUS 
Non-Investment  Consulting/Implementation  Services.  To  the  extent  requested  by  the  client, 
Pennington Partners may provide consulting services regarding non-investment related matters, such as 
estate planning, insurance, etc. Neither Pennington Partners, nor any of its representatives, serves as an 
attorney  or  an  accountant  and  no  portion  of  Pennington  Partners’  services  should  be  construed

other  professionals  for  certain  non-investment  implementation  purposes  (i.e.,  attorneys,  accountants, 
insurance,  etc.), including certain of Pennington Partners’  representatives  in their individual capacities 
as registered representatives and/or licensed insurance agents, as discussed below. The client is under 
no obligation to engage the services of any such recommended professional. The client retains absolute 
discretion over  all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject  any recommendation

dispute  arises  thereafter  relative  to  such  engagement,  the  client  agrees  to  seek  recourse  exclusively 
from and against the engaged professional.  
Private  Investment  Funds.  Pennington  Partners  may  provide  investment  advice  regarding  unaffiliated 
private  investment  funds  and  direct  investment  private  funds  sponsored  by  Pennington  Partners.  If  a 
client determines to become a private fund investor, the amount of assets invested in the fund(s) shall 
be included as part of “assets under management” for purposes of Pennington Partners calculating its 
investment advisory fee. Pennington Partners’ clients are under absolutely no obligation to consider or 
make an investment in a private investment fund(s).  
Pennington Partners and/or affiliates of Pennington Partners acts as General Partner and/or investment 
manager  to  the  following  affiliated  private  investment  funds,  Pennington  Alternative  Income  IDF,  LP, 
Pennington Alternative Income Fund, LP, Pennington Appreciation Fund, LP, Pennington Liquidity Fund, 
LP,  Pennington  Private  Access,  LP,  and  Pennington  Real  Estate  Partners  OZF,  LP,  PTM  Partners 
Opportunity Zone Fund I, LP, PTM Partners Opportunity Zone Fund III, LP  and Atomizer LXIV, a series of 
Atomizer  LLC  (Collectively,  the  “Private  Funds”).    Pennington  Partners  manage  the  Private  Funds  in 
accordance with the objectives and investment strategies described in the applicable offering document 
of such Private Funds. The terms, conditions, risks, and fees pertaining to an investment in the Private 
Funds, are outlined in the respective Private Fund’s Private Placement Memorandum or other applicable 
offering  documents.    Our  clients  are  under  no  obligation  to  consider  or  make  an  investment  in  the 
Private Funds.   
Please Note: Private investment funds generally involve various risk factors, including, but not limited to, 
potential  for  complete  loss  of  principal,  liquidity  constraints  and  lack  of  transparency,  a  complete 
discussion of which is set forth in each fund’s offering documents, which will be provided to each client 
for review and consideration. Unlike liquid investments that a client may maintain, private investment 
funds  do  not  provide  daily  liquidity  or  pricing.  Each  prospective  client  investor  will  be  required  to 
complete a Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the client shall establish that he/she is qualified 
for investment  in the  fund, and acknowledges  and accepts the various risk  factors that are  associated 
with such an investment. 
Please Also Note: Valuation. In the event that Pennington Partners references private investment funds 
owned by the client on any supplemental account reports prepared by Pennington Partners, the value(s) 
for  all  such  private  investment  funds  shall  reflect  either  the  initial  purchase  and/or  the  most  recent 
valuation  provided  by  the  fund  sponsor.  If  the  valuation  reflects  the  initial  purchase  price  (and/or  a 
value  as  of  a  previous  date),  the  current  value(s)  (to  the  extent  ascertainable)  could  be  significantly 
more or less than the original purchase price. 
Independent  Managers/Separately  Managed  Accounts.  Pennington  Partners  generally  recommends 
that clients authorize the active discretionary
                                        
                                        
                                             management of all or a portion of their assets by and/or 
among certain independent investment manager(s) and/or separately managed accounts (“Independent 
Manager(s)”).  To  the  extent  applicable,  Pennington Partners  shall  recommend  Independent Managers 
consistent with the client’s investment objectives. Factors which Pennington Partners shall consider in 
recommending Independent Managers include the client’s stated investment objective(s), management 
style, performance, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and research. 
The specific terms and conditions under which the client engages an Independent Manager may be set 
forth in a separate contract between the client and the Independent Manager. Also, when required, the 
client shall receive a copy of the Independent Manager’s disclosure Brochure.  Pennington Partners shall 
continue to render advisory services  to the client  relative to the ongoing monitoring and reviewing of 
account performance, for which Pennington Partners shall receive an annual advisory fee which is based 
upon  a  percentage  of  the  market  value  of  the  assets  being  managed  by  the  designated  Independent 
Manager.   
Sub-Advisory Arrangements. Pennington Partners may engage sub-advisors for the purpose of assisting 
with the management of its client accounts. The sub-advisor(s) shall have discretionary authority for the 
day-to-day management of the assets that are allocated to it by  Pennington Partners. The sub-advisor 
shall  continue  in  such  capacity  until  such  arrangement  is  terminated  or  modified  by  sub-advisor  or 
Pennington Partners. Pennington Partners will render ongoing and continuous advisory services to the 
client relative to the monitoring and review of account performance, client investment objectives, and 
asset  allocation.  Pennington  Partners  shall  pay  a  portion  of  the  investment  advisory  fee  received  for 
these  allocated  assets  to  the  sub-advisor  for  its  sub-advisory  services.  Pennington  Partners’  Chief 
Compliance Officer remains available to address any questions concerning the Registrant’s sub-advisory 
arrangements. 
Please  Note:  Non-Discretionary  Service  Limitations. Clients  that  determine  to  engage  Pennington 
Partners  on  a  non-discretionary  investment  advisory  basis  must  be  willing  to  accept  that  Pennington 
Partners  cannot  effect  any  account  transactions  without  obtaining  prior  consent  to  any  such 
transaction(s)  from  the  client.  Thus,  in  the  event  of  a  market  correction  during  which  the  client  is 
unavailable,  Pennington  Partners  will  be  unable  to effect  any  account  transactions  (as  it would  for  its 
discretionary clients) without first obtaining the client’s consent. 
Use  of  Mutual  Funds.  Most  mutual  funds  are  available  directly  to  the  public.  Thus,  a  client  or 
prospective client can obtain many of the mutual funds that may be recommended and/or utilized by 
Pennington Partners independent of engaging Pennington Partners as an investment advisor. However, 
if a client or prospective client determines to do so, he/she/it will not receive the benefit of Pennington 
Partners’ initial and ongoing investment advisory services. 
Retirement  Rollovers.  A  client  leaving  an  employer  typically  has  four  options  (and  may  engage  in  a 
combination  of  these  options):  i)  leave  the  money  in  his  former  employer’s  plan,  if  permitted,  ii)  roll 
over the assets to his new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, iii) rollover to 
an IRA, or iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse 
tax  consequences).  Pennington  Partners  may  recommend  an  investor  roll  over  plan  assets  to  an 
Individual Retirement Account (IRA) managed by Pennington Partners. As a result, Pennington Partners 
and  its  representatives  may  earn  an  asset-based  fee.  In  contrast,  a  recommendation  that  a  client  or 
prospective client leave his or her plan assets with his or her old employer or roll the assets to a plan 
sponsored by a new employer will generally result in no compensation to Pennington Partners (unless 
you  engage  Pennington  Partners  to  monitor  and/or  manage  the  account  while  maintained  at  your 
employer).  Pennington Partners has an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets 
into an IRA that Pennington Partners will manage or to engage Pennington Partners to monitor and/or 
manage  the  account  while  maintained  at  your  employer.  There  are  various  factors  that  Pennington 
Partners may consider before recommending a rollover, including but not limited to: i) the investment 
options available in the plan versus the investment options available in an IRA, ii) fees and expenses in 
the  plan  versus  the  fees  and  expenses  in  an  IRA,  iii)  the  services  and  responsiveness  of  the  plan’s 
investment professionals versus Pennington Partners’, iv) protection of assets from creditors and legal 
judgments,  v)  required  minimum  distributions  and  age  considerations,  and  vi)  employer  stock  tax 
consequences,  if  any.  No  client  is  under  any  obligation  to  rollover  plan  assets  to  an  IRA  managed  by 
Pennington  Partners  or  to  engage  Pennington  Partners  to  monitor  and/or  manage  the  account  while 
maintained  at  your  employer.  Pennington  Partners’  Chief  Compliance  Officer  remains  available  to 
address  any  questions  that  a  client  or  prospective  client  may  have  regarding  the  above  and  the 
corresponding conflict of interest presented by such engagement. 
Cash  Positions. 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), 
Pennington  Partners  may  maintain  cash  positions  for  defensive  purposes.  All  cash  positions  (money 
markets,  etc.)  shall  be  included  as  part  of  assets  under  management  for  purposes  of  calculating 
Pennington Partners’ advisory fee.  
Please  Note:  When  the  account  is  holding  cash  positions,  those  cash  positions  will  be  subject  to  the 
same fee schedule as set forth below in Item 5. Pennington Partners’ Chief Compliance Officer remains 
available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above fee 
billing practice. 
 
Client  Obligations.  In  performing  its  services,  Pennington  Partners  shall  not  be  required  to  verify  any 
information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals and is expressly authorized 
to  rely  thereon.  Moreover,  each  client  is  advised  that  it  remains  his/her/its responsibility to  promptly 
notify  Pennington  Partners  if  there  is  ever  any  change  in  his/her/its  financial  situation  or  investment 
objectives  for  the  purpose  of  reviewing/evaluating/  revising  Pennington  Partners’  previous 
recommendations and/or services. 
Disclosure Statement. A copy of Pennington Partners’ written Brochure as set forth on Part 2A of Form 
ADV  shall  be  provided  to  each  client  prior  to,  or  contemporaneously  with,  the  execution  of  the 
Investment Advisory Agreement or Financial Planning and Consulting Agreement.   
Pennington Partners shall provide investment advisory services specific to the needs of each client. Prior 
to  providing  investment  advisory  services,  an  investment  adviser  representative  will  ascertain  each 
client’s investment objective(s). Thereafter, Pennington Partners shall allocate and/or recommend that 
the client allocate investment assets consistent with the designated investment objective(s). The client 
may, at anytime, impose reasonable restrictions, in writing, on Pennington Partners’ services.
