Types of Advisory Services Offered Ascension offers investment management services on a discretionary basis. At the beginning of the client relationship, a representative of Ascension will conduct a personal interview with the client to discuss and evaluate the client’s investment objectives, individual risk tolerance, investment timeline, specific restrictions and any other information relevant to the management of the client’s account. Ascension also requires each client to complete an Account Questionnaire, which assists us with determining a client’s overall investment guidelines and asset allocation strategy. Ascension summarizes all collected information in a written Investment Policy Statement that outlines how Ascension will managed the client’s assets. Ascension then constructs and manages each client’s account in accordance

with: - The client’s investment objectives and other guidelines contained in their Investment Policy Statement and Account Questionnaires; and - Ascension’s investment policies, strategies and investment management techniques. The securities utilized by Ascension for investment in client accounts mainly consist of registered mutual funds, but we can also include exchange traded funds (ETFs), equity securities, corporate bonds, foreign securities, municipal securities and variable annuities, among others, if we determine such investments fit within a client’s objectives and are in the best interest of our clients. Please refer to Item 8 for detailed information on our method of analysis and the risks involved with these types of securities. D. Advisory Agreements Prior to engaging Ascension to provide investment management services, clients are required to enter into an Investment Management Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ascension setting forth the terms and conditions of the engagement, the fees to be paid and the scope of the services to be provided. A client can terminate their Agreement by providing Ascension with a written notice of termination. Upon receipt of written notice of termination from the client, we will immediately cease to actively manage the client’s account and will cease assessment of advisory fees as of that date. E.
