Wealth Management Services Retirement Planning Group provides wealth management services for its Clients. These services generally include a broad range of comprehensive financial planning services in connection with discretionary investment management of Client portfolios. These services are described below. Investment Management Services — Retirement Planning Group provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal Client contact and interaction while providing discretionary management and related advisory services. Retirement Planning Group works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. Retirement Planning Group will then construct an investment portfolio, consisting of low-cost, diversified mutual funds and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize bonds or options contracts to meet the needs of its Clients. The Advisor may retain certain types of investments based on a Client’s legacy investments based on portfolio fit and/or tax considerations. Retirement Planning Group’s investment strategies are 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. Retirement Planning Group 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. Retirement Planning Group evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence process. Retirement Planning Group may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. Retirement Planning Group 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. Retirement Planning Group 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. At no time will Retirement Planning Group 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. Page

5 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 — Retirement Planning Group will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients. 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, investment planning, retirement planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs 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. Retirement Planning Group may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation. Financial planning and consulting 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. C. Client Account Management Prior to engaging Retirement Planning Group to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – Retirement Planning Group, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation – Retirement Planning Group 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.
• Portfolio Construction – Retirement Planning Group will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals and objectives of the Client.
• Investment Management and Supervision – Retirement Planning Group will provide investment management and ongoing oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio. D.
