Use of Independent Managers and Sub-Advisors The Firm may select certain Independent Managers and/or Sub-Advisors to actively manage a portion of its clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an Independent Manager and/or Sub-Advisor may be set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent Managers engaged to manage their assets. The Firm evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers and/or Sub-Advisors, which may include the Independent Managers’ and/or Sub-Advisors’ public disclosure documents, materials supplied by the Independent Managers themselves and other third-party analyses it believes are reputable. To the extent possible, the Firm seeks to assess the Independent Manager’s and/or Sub-Advisor’s investment strategies, past performance, and risk results in relation to its clients’ individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. The Firm also takes into consideration each Independent Manager’s and/or Sub-Advisor’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing, and research capabilities, among other factors. The Firm continues to provide services relative to the discretionary selection of the Independent Managers and/or Sub-Advisor. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of those accounts being managed by Independent Managers. The Firm seeks to ensure the Independent Managers and/or Sub- Advisor strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests. Sponsor and Manager of Wrap Program The Firm provides substantially all investment management services as the sponsor and manager of the Gainline Financial Wrap Program (the “Wrap Program”), a wrap fee program where transactional, custodial, Independent Manager, and other similar fees are absorbed by the Firm. Accounts managed through the Wrap Program are done so in substantially the same manner as those that may be managed under a non-wrap arrangement. Additional information about the Wrap Program is available in the Firm’s Wrap Brochure, which appears as Part 2A Appendix 1 of the Firm’s Form ADV.
