General Information STAS was formed in 2021 and provides innovative investment management services that include customized investment portfolio management, financial planning and financial consulting. Please see Brochure Supplements, at the end of this brochure for more information on the Managing Principals of STAS. Troy Winegarner is the sole owner of STAS. Types of Advisory Services Currently, we offer the following investment advisory services, which are personalized to each individual client:
• Portfolio Management Services
• Financial Planning Services
• Retirement Plan Advisory Services
• Financial Consulting Services The following paragraphs describe our services and fees. Please refer to the description of each investment advisory service listed below for information on how we tailor our advisory services to your individual needs. As used in this brochure, the words "we", "our" and "us" refer to STAS and the words "you", "your" and "client" refer to you as either a client or prospective client of our firm. The use of these terms is not intended to imply that there is more than one individual associated with this firm. Portfolio Management Services We offer discretionary portfolio management services. Our investment advice is tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. If you retain our firm for portfolio management services, we will meet with you to determine your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information at the beginning of our advisory relationship. We will use the information we gather to develop a strategy that enables our firm to give you continuous and focused investment advice and/or to make investments on your behalf. As part of our portfolio management services, we may customize an investment portfolio for you according to your risk tolerance and investment objectives. We may also invest your assets using a predefined strategy, or we may invest your assets according to one or more model portfolios developed by our firm. Once we construct an investment portfolio for you, or select a model portfolio, we will monitor your portfolio's performance on an ongoing basis, and rebalance the portfolio as changes in market conditions and your financial situation dictate. We require you to grant our firm discretionary authority to manage your account. Discretionary authorization will allow us to determine the specific securities, and the amount of securities, to be purchased or sold for your account without your approval prior to each transaction. Discretionary authority is typically granted by the investment advisory agreement you sign with our firm and the appropriate trading authorization forms. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that can be purchased or sold for your account) by providing our firm with your restrictions and guidelines in writing. Financial Planning We can provide you with a Financial Plan to fund short-term and long-term objectives such as planning for retirement, funding educational programs, or creating a charitable or legacy strategy. This information normally would cover a review of your personal financial situation, including but not limited to present and anticipated assets, liabilities, cash flow, financial goals, objectives, risk tolerance and time horizon. We may also create additional analyses and work with and advise you as to the rearrangement of cash flow in order to fund certain long-term objectives such as buying a house, planning for college, retirement, etc. The plan developed for you will usually include recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by you. For example, recommendations may be made that you obtain insurance or revise existing coverage, establish an individual retirement account, increase or decrease funds held in savings accounts or invest funds in securities. We may refer you to an accountant or attorney for development of tax or estate plans. We do not render legal, tax or accounting advice or prepare any legal documents for you. Your personal attorney will be solely responsible for providing legal advice, legal opinions, legal determinations and legal documents. Your personal tax adviser or accountant will be solely responsible for any tax or accounting services provided to you. Implementation of financial plan recommendations

is entirely at the client’s discretion. Should you decide to use our money management services, there will be a separate agreement.

Consulting services provided should not be construed as investment advice. Services Limited to Specific Types of Investments STAS generally limits its investment advice to exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, and other public and private securities. STAS may use other securities as well to help diversify a portfolio when applicable. Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions STAS offers the same suite of services to all of its clients. However, specific client investment strategies and their implementation are dependent upon the client’s current situation (income, tax levels, and risk tolerance levels). Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. Disclosures related to investment management and financial planning Insurance services: Persons providing investment advice on behalf of our firm are licensed as independent insurance agents. Each is appointed directly with one or more insurance companies for the placement of life insurance, fixed deferred annuities, fixed immediate annuities, disability insurance, and/or long- term care insurance products. STAS itself is not an insurance agency or broker. The insurance company pays STAS’s employees who sell insurance services to a client a commission for the transaction. This compensation is separate and distinct from advisory fees paid to STAS for services as described in this brochure. Insurance commissions are not used to offset advisory fees as described under Item 5, below. Note that acting in a separate capacity, as an insurance agent is a conflict of interest if you decide to use one of our employees to implement financial plan recommendations. Asset Under Management STAS has $303,703,182 discretionary assets under management and $123,785,843 non- discretionary assets under management for a total of $427,489,025 as of the date of this brochure.
