Wealth Management Services Vance Wealth provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include a broad range of comprehensive financial planning in connection with discretionary investment management of Client portfolios. These services are described below. Investment Management Services Vance Wealth provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary investment management services. Vance Wealth works closely with each Client to assess their cash flow needs and risk tolerance for investment loss and volatility to determine an appropriate asset allocation strategy. Vance Wealth will construct a portfolio primarily consisting of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and mutual funds to achieve the Client’s investment goals. Vance Wealth may also utilize individual stocks, bonds, and certificates of deposits to meet the needs of its Clients. Vance Wealth may retain certain investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. Vance Wealth’s investment approach is primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. Vance Wealth 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 acceptance by the Advisor. Vance Wealth evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Vance Wealth may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Vance Wealth 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. Vance Wealth 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 the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance. Page 5 At no time will Vance Wealth accept or maintain custody of a Client’s funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outlined in Item 15 – Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. Retirement Accounts- When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor. Financial Planning Services Vance Wealth typically provides financial planning services to Clients as part of its overall investment management services. Vance Wealth may also provide financial planning services on a standalone basis pursuant to a written financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or rendering a specific 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, retirement planning, business planning, divorce planning, estate planning, insurance needs, and tax planning. A financial plan developed for 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 or contribute

to charitable giving programs. Vance Wealth may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial situation, observations, and recommendations. For financial consulting engagements, the Advisor may not provide a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) months of contract date, assuming all information and documents requested are provided promptly. Financial planning recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. 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 implement the transaction through the Advisor. Business Consulting Services Vance Wealth will typically provide a variety of consulting services to business consulting services, pursuant to a written business consulting agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on their goals, objectives and financial situation. Generally, such consulting services will involve preparing a plan or rendering a financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. Annual services are provided periodically based on the Client’s needs and complexities of the Clients. This planning or consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including, but not limited to: Business Planning Risk Management Cash Flow Forecasting Charitable Giving Financial Reporting and Analysis Debt Management Investment Consulting Tax Planning / Review Payroll Optimization Retirement Plan Design Page 6 These services may be provided on a stand-alone basis or incorporated into other services, including a comprehensive wealth management engagement. A business consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. Services also include a dedicated corporate binder and business concierge calendar. Vance may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or another specialist, as appropriate for their unique situation. For certain business consulting 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. Business consulting recommendations pose a potential conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for wealth management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. 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 implement the transaction through the Advisor.
