B. Managed Account Programs
1. Guided Portfolio Solutions Program – Overview
The Guided Portfolio Solutions program is a managed account service that enables participants to
choose from various Money Managers. WIN will direct the investment and reinvestment of the
assets in the Account, in accordance with the information provided directly by the Participant or
through the IAR. WIN will execute a copy of this Agreement acknowledging receipt and agreeing to
manage the Account investments, which may be on a non-discretionary or discretionary basis,
depending on the program selected and subject to the account meeting WIN's minimum account
size.
Clients are not required or expected to purchase a variable product to participate in the Program;
however, certain investments may only be available as subaccounts of a variable product.
Additionally, the Program’s portfolios are limited to certain mutual fund families and variable
products, which will likely change from time to time. The Representative will explain the fund
families and variable products that are currently eligible for the WIN Advisory Account Program,
and each of the portfolios.
Although many clients in the Program will already own mutual funds or variable products that
provide “exchange” privileges within the fund family or variable product subaccounts without
charge, the Firm will have the authority, when consistent with seeking the portfolio’s objectives, to
exchange the client’s investments for shares to which the client’s exchange privileges may not
apply, or to redeem the client’s investment in a fund and reinvest in a different fund family.
If the client wishes to participate in a program through subaccounts of a variable product but does
not already own a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract, the client will be required to
purchase a variable annuity or variable life contract and will incur sales charges and other
transaction expenses.
Please refer to Item 5.E for further information about compensation the Representative will receive
if you purchase securities or insurance products.
Unless otherwise noted as full compensation for services under this agreement, the Participant
agrees to pay WIN a quarterly fee of .5% (2% annually) for all programs. This schedule is subject
to change with thirty (30) days written notice to Participant. This Advisory fee may, at the discretion
of the IAR or Advisor, be reduced.
The fee is payable in advance on the effective date of the agreement prorated to the next quarter
end. Thereafter, fees shall be computed and paid not less frequently than quarterly based on the
value of the account on the last business day of the previous quarter end.
Contributions and withdrawals are netted against each other to calculate the flow bill/refund
amount. Flow Billing is processed in arrears, at the end of each quarter (debits or credits occur on
or around the 7th business day of the new quarter), and transactions are separate from the regular
quarterly billing.
In addition to the quarterly fee, clients participating in programs under the GPS agreement will be
subject to a one-time 2 1/2% financial planning fee, which may be waived in part or in full at the
discretion of the Investment Advisor Representative or WIN.
Managed Account Services offered through the Guided Portfolio Solutions agreement are as
follows:
• Liberty One Portfolios
• Strategic Portfolios
• Dynamic Portfolios
Through the Liberty One Portfolios, WIN and Sub Advisor will allocate Client's investment into
selected securities that include, but are not limited to select No-Load Mutual Funds, Load Mutual
Funds at NAV, Stocks, Exchange Traded Funds, Money Market funds and Closed-End Funds. WIN
and Sub Advisor will continually periodically review and make adjustments to participating
accounts.
Minimum investment for all program accounts is $10,000 except for participants electing the
Liberty One Tactical Income, Tactical Growth, Liberty One HD and Spectrum allocations. Minimum
investment for Tactical Income, Tactical Growth and Liberty One HD allocations is $50,000.
Minimum investment for the Spectrum allocation is $100,000.
Through Strategic Portfolios, WIN will allocate Participant's investment into selected load and no
load funds at net asset value. WIN will continually review and make adjustments to participating
accounts. WIN manages the participant's assets on a discretionary basis. Minimum account size
is $25,000 - Minimum quarterly fee is $62.50.
Through Dynamic Portfolios, WIN will allocate Participant’s investment using investment advisory
software. The software is a quantitative, logic-based system that makes investment
recommendations proactively instead of reactively; our algorithm analyzes price movement and
allocates among exchange-traded-funds based on what the price is doing currently and not what
has happened in the past. Models of funds are assembled within the software according to desired
asset category, risk-profile, liquidity, custodial trading restrictions, or other criteria as required by
clients. Models are then placed within a portfolio thereby allowing the software to run its
continuous analysis and enabling recommendations that are adaptive to ever-changing markets.
These advisory accounts are managed on a discretionary basis. Account supervision is guided by
the client's stated portfolio objectives which may include, but not be limited to, Conservative Total
Return, Aggressive Total Return or a Low Correlation portfolio to the S&P 500. On a best efforts
basis and where able and appropriate,
Clients may impose reasonable restrictions that are mutually agreed upon in writing by the client
that relate to investing in certain securities, types of securities, or industry sectors. In addition,
the client may instruct us to utilize stop loss orders on select broad market Exchange Traded Funds
(ETFs).
Our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offered by a
broker-dealer, trust company or insurance company and will generally include advice regarding the
following securities:
• Exchange-listed securities
• Securities traded over-the-counter
• Foreign issuers
• Corporate debt securities (other than commercial paper)
• Commercial paper
• Certificates of deposit
• Municipal securities
• Mutual fund shares
• Unit investment trusts
• United States government securities
• Options contracts on securities
• Interests in partnerships investing in real estate
Because some types of investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, we will only
implement/recommend them when consistent with the client's stated investment objectives,
tolerance for risk, liquidity and suitability.
In addition to quarterly advisory fees, participants of this program are subject to transaction
charges in accordance with the charges as disclosed on the brokerage new account form.
2. Reality Check My Investments Program – Overview
WIN offers discretionary asset management services through the Reality Check My Investments
robo-adviser platform. The asset management process begins with the collection of information
from the client through our website. This information helps us determine the client’s risk tolerance
and tax bracket. Once we analyze this information, our software creates a portfolio allocation
model that is most suitable for the client. The account’s performance is monitored on a continuous
basis, and the account is rebalanced whenever necessary or as changes occur in market
conditions.
To participate in the program, the client is required to agree to provide WIN with all material
information concerning their personal and financial situation, investment objective and risk
tolerance. Further, the client agrees to update their profile information promptly to reflect material
change in circumstances which might affect the manner in which assets should be invested and
to provide WIN with such information as it shall be reasonably requested.
The negotiable annual fee for the Reality Check My Investments program is 1.00% of assets under
management, payable quarterly in advance. The annual fee is exclusive of, and in addition to
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which will be
incurred by the client and charged by Interactive Brokers, the account custodian. We will not
receive any portion of the commissions, fees, and costs incurred by Reality Check My Investments
accounts.
At the inception of investment management services, the first pay period’s fees will be calculated
on a pro-rata basis. The Agreement between WIN and the client will continue in effect until either
party terminates the Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. WIN’s annual fee
will be pro-rated through the date of termination and any remaining balance shall be refunded to
the client in a timely manner.

D. NEGOTIABILITY OF PROGRAM FEES, ACCOUNT MINIMUMS & OTHER TERMS
For all services, we have the discretion to negotiate our fees, minimum account size, minimum
annual fees, and other terms of each client’s relationship with us, and to negotiate alternative
fees, minimums, or other terms on a client-by-client basis.
When considering and negotiating these matters, we usually consider, among other factors, the
dollar amount of assets to be placed under management by the client and related accounts,
anticipated future revenues and anticipated future additional assets or accounts from the client
or related persons, and other existing or anticipated relationships.
We may elect, in our discretion, to aggregate related client accounts for the purpose of achieving
the minimum account size requirements and determining annualized fees. Waivers, discounts or
more favorable terms not generally available to other clients may be offered to family members
and friends of our employees and affiliates. The specific terms of each client’s advisory

the types of investments and strategies we recommend.
F. TAILORED ADVISORY SERVICES & CLIENT-IMPOSED RESTRICTIONS
We tailor our advice to the specific needs and objectives of the client. The Representative will help
the client to understand and complete an account profile or questionnaire so that it accurately
reflects the account’s financial situation, investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and investment
time horizon, among other considerations, and will also answer client questions about the
programs and our services. Based on the client’s investment profile, the Representative will
recommend one of our investment management programs, or financial planning or consulting
services suited to the needs of the client. Alternatively, for clients not interested in our advisory
programs, the Representative (acting in his or her capacity as a registered representative of our
broker-dealer and as a licensed insurance agent) will recommend the client purchase securities
or insurance products.
For clients seeking investment management services, the Representative will assist the client in
selecting a suitable program, asset allocation or model portfolio, and where applicable, separate
account manager. We permit clients to impose reasonable restrictions on the types of securities
we recommend for their account, and permit clients to change the restrictions by written
instruction to us. However, clients should be aware that the terms of any agreements with a third-
party investment manager or sub adviser may restrict the client’s ability to impose restrictions on
account investments.
Once the client has approved the specific investment management program, asset allocation or
model portfolio, and where applicable, third-party portfolio manager, the account will be managed
to reflect the allocation or model, and achieve the objectives of the program and portfolio which
the client has selected, subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by the client. Due to client
restrictions and other differences regarding each account, performance of a client’s account may
be different from the performance of other accounts in the same program or portfolio.
G. CHANGES IN THE CLIENT’S CIRCUMSTANCES
Clients are advised that changes in the client’s or an account’s financial situation, investment
objectives, tolerance for risk, or investment time horizon may cause the program or strategy
selected by the client to be no longer suitable. In the event of any such change, the client should
contact the Representative or WIN promptly in order to identify another program or strategy that
meets the client’s needs.
