Firm Description Grant Tani Barash & Altman, LLC (“GTBA” the “Firm”, “we”, or “us”) is a California-based firm founded in 2004. As further detailed below, GTBA offers services covering the areas of business management, consulting, and investment management. The Firm typically provides its services to high-net-worth individuals, corporations, trusts and estates and pension and profit-sharing plans. Some of the investment instruments GTBA advises its clientele on include, among other things, mutual funds, exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), equities, bonds, treasuries, certificates of deposits, real estate, limited partnerships, joint ventures, and other business opportunities. The Firm is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser and organized under the laws of Delaware as a limited liability company. Our primary service is providing business management services to high-net-worth individuals. GTBA is owned by Grant, Tani, Barash & Altman, Inc., GTBA Group, LLC and Hightower Holding, LLC (“Hightower”). Hightower is the owner of other registered investment advisory firms, a broker dealer, and trust companies that provide wealth management services primarily to high-net-worth individuals and institutional investors. While GTBA is operationally independent from Hightower, GTBA may share certain resources and back-office support with Hightower. Types of Advisory Services GTBA is a full-service business management/multi-family office. Our services include bookkeeping, accounting, tax planning and preparation, general business, and personal financial management. As business managers, our clients hire us to assist them in handling their financial affairs, including their investments. These services are all inclusive for one agreed upon fee. Our clients may designate us as their limited power of attorney to act on their behalf so that we can act as an intermediary and liaison between them and third parties. Upon a client’s request, we perform due diligence on third-party investment managers, investments, and financial opportunities, provide recommendations and relay decisions made by the client to the third party. GTBA offers discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services to ultra-high net worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, private foundations, corporations, and partnerships. GTBA provides the following non-discretionary investment advisory services upon request of the client:
•recommendations and evaluations of investment managers to manage client assets;
•recommendations of allocation of client investable assets into various investment classes;
•monitoring the performance of client assets managed by separate investment managers;
•recommendations to terminate, and actual terminations of third-party investment managers as appropriate;
•recommendations about the purchase, sale and holding of specific securities as requested by clients;
•recommendations of investments in pooled vehicles that invest in private equities; and
•recommendations and evaluation of limited partnerships, joint ventures, real estate, and other business opportunities presented to our clients.
GTBA also provides discretionary investment management services for client assets it advises, which is limited to short-term investments in cash and cash-equivalent investment products. These products may include U.S.

treasury securities and other fixed income securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, municipal securities and other funds and instruments (e.g., money market mutual funds, ETFs and similar investments). We assist clients in identifying and articulating appropriate investment objectives, and formulating a customized plan designed to achieve those objectives. We will assist in evaluating individual areas requiring a recommendation, such as cash flow analysis, insurance planning or large asset purchases, and will assist in the implementation of financial and estate planning recommendations made by third parties. At the request of a client, if needed, we will assist in preparing an Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”) that includes an overall asset allocation, types of asset classes to be utilized, general construction of the client's portfolio, any restrictions on investments and appropriate performance benchmarks for the total portfolio, as well as for each individual asset class. The client would then approve the IPS and use it when needed. If a client already has an IPS, we will assist the client in updating it as needed. When requested by a client, we will select third-party investment managers to manage some or all of the assets in the client account. When selecting third-party investment managers, we consider service quality, suitability for the client's investment objectives, discipline, competence, compliance with ethical standards, performance compared to the applicable benchmark, and professional background of the investment manager's portfolio management and research staff. Short Term Cash Management When requested by a client, we will manage one or more accounts on a discretionary basis to buy and sell short-term investments in cash and cash-equivalent investment products (including U.S. treasury securities and other fixed income securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, municipal securities, money market mutual funds, ETFs, and other investments) based on the individual needs and objectives of the client. Transactions are made utilizing the client’s deposit institution, bank or other designated qualified custodian. Bill Pay and Bookkeeping Services As a business manager, we offer clients bill paying and bookkeeping services. Promoter Arrangements GTBA neither utilizes the services of promoters nor accepts compensation for making referrals to other investment advisers. Assets Held Away Consulting GTBA offers non-discretionary asset management services to clients for assets that the client holds with other registered investment advisers. GTBA will meet with the client for information gathering initially and then periodically thereafter for review and recommendations. GTBA will review the investment options available and make investment recommendations to the client based on this information and the client’s financial objectives. It is ultimately the clients’ decision to execute the recommendations made by GTBA. GTBA may assist the client in relaying their decisions to the appropriate parties. Termination At any time, either party, upon notice to the other, may terminate the relationship and the services to be performed by the Firm. As of December 31, 2023, GTBA has $1,711.4 million in regulatory assets under management. $337.4 million is non-discretionary and 1,374.0 million is discretionary.
