Please understand that a written agreement, which details the exact terms of the service, must be signed by you and the firm before we can provide you the services described below. Asset Management Services The firm offers asset management services which involve a sub-adviser and/or third-party asset manager (collectively hereinafter, “Third-Party Manager(s)”, “Manager(s)” or “TPM(s)”). Under this program, we assist you with identifying your risk tolerance and investment objectives. We select Third-Party Manager(s), who are made available to you through a turnkey asset management platform (“Platform”), based on your stated investment objectives and risk tolerance. You must appoint our firm as your investment adviser of record on specified accounts (collectively, “your Account”). The Account consists only of separate account(s) held by qualified custodian(s) under your name. The qualified custodian(s) maintain(s) physical custody of all funds and securities of your Account, and you retain all rights of ownership (e.g., right to withdraw securities or cash, exercise or delegate proxy voting and receive transaction confirmations) of your Account. Your Account is managed by a Third-Party Manager based on your financial situation, investment objectives and risk tolerance. We are available to answer questions regarding your Account and act as the communication conduit between you and a Platform and your TPM. The Third-Party Manager takes discretionary authority to determine the securities to be purchased and sold for your account. We provide recommendations to you or exercise discretion to utilize specific Third-Party Managers to manage your Account or a portion of the assets of your Account. The firm will conduct due diligence of Platforms and Third-Party Managers we recommend. ASGIM monitors the performance of TPMs with respect to management of the designated assets of your Account relative to appropriate peers and/or benchmarks. A complete description of a Platform and/or a TPM’s services and fees will be disclosed in its/their Form ADV Part 2A that will be provided to you. We will need to obtain certain information from you to determine your financial situation and investment objectives. You will be responsible for notifying us of any updates regarding your financial situation, risk tolerance or investment objective and whether you wish to impose or modify existing investment restrictions; however, we will contact you at least annually to discuss any changes or updates regarding your financial situation, risk tolerance or investment objectives. We are always reasonably available to consult with you relative to the status of your Account and act as the communication conduit between you and a Third-Party Manager. You have the ability to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of your Account, including the ability to instruct us not to purchase certain securities. It is important that you understand that we manage investments for other clients and give them advice or take actions for them, or, for our personal accounts, that could be different from the advice we provide to you or actions taken for you. We are not obligated to buy, sell or recommend to you any security or other investment that we buy, sell or recommend for any other clients or for our own accounts. Clients are advised that there are other Third-Party Managers not recommended by our firm that are suitable for you and may be less costly than arrangements recommended by our firm. No guarantees can be made that a client’s financial goals or objectives will be achieved by a Third- Party Manager recommended by our firm. Further, no guarantees of performance can ever be offered by our firm (Please refer to Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss for more details.) Adviser Managed Lightweight Accounts The firm, on a limited basis, offers Adviser Managed Lightweight Accounts for select accounts. These accounts are not managed by a Third-Party Manager and are not subject to a Third-Party Manager or Platform fee. ASGIM will provide continuous and ongoing supervision of these accounts. Clients grant ASGIM discretionary trading authority for these accounts. The management fee for these accounts will be 20 basis points annually, based on the market value of the account at the time of billing. Financial Planning & Consulting Services The firm offers financial planning services, which involve preparing a written financial plan which covers particular topics. We provide

full written financial plans, which typically address: Retirement Planning, Asset Allocation, and Budgeting, Cash Flow, Estate Planning, and Risk Management. When providing financial planning and consulting services, the role of your investment adviser representative is to find ways to help you understand your overall financial situation and help you set financial objectives. We also provide written financial plans which cover those specific areas of concern mutually agreed upon by you and us. A modular written financial plan is limited or segmented and does not involve the creation of a full written financial plan. You should be aware that there are important issues that may not be taken into consideration when your investment adviser representative develops his or her analysis and recommendations under a modular written financial plan. Written financial plans prepared by us do not include specific recommendations of individual securities. We also offer consultations in order to discuss financial planning issues when you do not need a written financial plan. We offer a one-time consultation, which covers mutually agreed upon areas of concern related to investments or financial planning. Our financial planning and consulting services do not involve implementing any transaction on your behalf or the active and ongoing monitoring or management of your investments or accounts. You have the sole responsibility for determining whether to implement our financial planning and consulting recommendations. To the extent that you would like to implement any of our investment recommendations through the firm or retain the firm to actively monitor and manage your investments, you will execute a separate written agreement with the firm for our asset management services. Tailored Advisory Services The firm’s advisory services are provided based on your individual needs. This means, for example, that when we provide asset management services, you are given the ability to impose restrictions on the accounts we manage for you, including specific investment selections and sectors. We work with you on a one-on-one basis through interviews and questionnaires to determine your investment objectives and suitability information.

The firm is available to answer questions regarding any portion of your Account managed by a Third-Party Manager and will act as the communication conduit between you and the Manager. A complete description of the Manager’s services and fees will be disclosed in its own Form ADV Part 2A that will be provided to a client.

Through Third Party Managers, we provide investment advice on the following types of investments:
• Mutual Funds
• Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
• Exchange-listed Securities
• Bonds Although we generally provide advice regarding the products previously listed, we reserve the right to offer advice on other investment products that are suitable for each client’s specific circumstances, needs, goals and objectives. It is not our typical investment strategy to attempt to time the market, but we recommend increasing cash holdings as deemed appropriate based on your risk tolerance and our expectations of market behavior. We modify your investment strategy to accommodate special situations such as low basis stock, stock options, legacy holdings, inheritances, closely held businesses, collectibles, or special tax situations.
