Cooksen Wealth offers a variety of advisory services, which include financial planning and investment and wealth management services. Prior to Cooksen Wealth rendering any of the foregoing advisory services, clients are required to enter into one or more written agreements with Cooksen Wealth setting forth the relevant terms and conditions of the advisory relationship (the “Advisory Agreement”). Cooksen Wealth registered as an investment adviser in March 2019 and is principally owned by Lindsey M. Cooksen. As of December 31, 2023, Cooksen Wealth has $141,943,962 of assets under management, $141,609,208 in discretionary assets and $334,754 in non-discretionary assets. While this brochure generally describes the business of Cooksen Wealth, certain sections also discuss the activities of its Supervised Persons, which refer to the Firm’s officers, partners, directors (or other persons occupying a similar status or performing similar functions), employees or other persons who provide investment advice on Cooksen Wealth’s behalf and are subject to the Firm’s supervision or control. Financial Planning Services Cooksen Wealth offers clients a broad range of financial planning services, which include any or all of the following functions: Retirement Planning, Education Planning, Trust and Estate Planning, Insurance Planning and Tax Planning. In performing these services, Cooksen Wealth is not required to verify any information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.,) and is expressly authorized to rely on such information. Cooksen Wealth recommends certain clients engage the Firm for additional related services and/or other professionals to implement its recommendations. Clients are advised that a conflict of interest exists for the Firm to recommend that clients engage Cooksen Wealth or its affiliates to provide (or continue to provide) additional services for compensation, including investment management services. Clients retain absolute discretion over all decisions regarding implementation and are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by Cooksen Wealth under a financial planning consulting engagement, and Clients are under no obligation to effect the transaction through Cooksen Wealth. Clients are advised that it remains their responsibility to promptly notify the Firm of any change in their financial situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating or revising Cooksen Wealth’s recommendations and/or services. Investment and Wealth Management Services Cooksen Wealth manages client investment portfolios on a discretionary basis. In addition, Cooksen Wealth provides certain clients with wealth management services which include a broad range of financial planning services as well as discretionary management of investment portfolios. Cooksen Wealth primarily allocates, in accordance with their stated investment objectives, client assets among the following types of investments:
• mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”);
• individual debt and equity securities; and
• independent investment managers (“Independent Managers”). Where appropriate, the Firm anticipates recommending mutual funds or ETFs that aim to provide investors with diversification and downside protection through exposure to alternative investment strategies (known as “liquid alternatives”). The Firm also recommends that certain eligible clients invest in privately placed securities, which may include debt, equity and/or interests in pooled investment vehicles (e.g., hedge funds). Where appropriate, the Firm also provides advice about any type of legacy position or other investment held in client portfolios, but clients should not assume that these assets are being continuously monitored or otherwise advised on by the Firm unless specifically agreed upon. Clients can engage Cooksen Wealth to manage and/or advise on certain investment products that are

not maintained at their primary custodian, such as variable life insurance and annuity contracts and assets held in employer sponsored retirement plans and qualified tuition plans (i.e., 529 plans). In these situations, Cooksen Wealth directs or recommends the allocation of client assets among the various investment options available with the product. These assets are generally maintained at the underwriting insurance company, or the custodian designated by the product’s provider. Cooksen Wealth tailors its advisory services to meet the needs of its individual clients and seeks to ensure, on a continuous basis, that client portfolios are managed in a manner consistent with those needs and objectives. Cooksen Wealth consults with clients on an initial and ongoing basis to assess their specific risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity constraints and other related factors relevant to the management of their portfolios. Clients are advised to promptly notify Cooksen Wealth if there are changes in their financial situation or if they wish to place any limitations on the management of their portfolios. Clients can impose reasonable restrictions or mandates on the management of their accounts if Cooksen Wealth determines, in its sole discretion, the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly burdensome to the Firm’s management efforts. Use of Independent Managers As mentioned above, Cooksen Wealth selects certain Independent Managers to actively manage a portion of its clients’ assets. The specific terms and conditions under which a client engages an Independent Manager may be set forth in a separate written agreement with the designated Independent Manager. In addition to this brochure, clients may also receive the written disclosure documents of the respective Independent Managers engaged to manage their assets. Cooksen Wealth evaluates a variety of information about Independent Managers, which includes the Independent Managers’ 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 Managers’ investment strategies, past performance and risk results in relation to its clients’ individual portfolio allocations and risk exposure. Cooksen Wealth also takes into consideration each Independent Manager’s management style, returns, reputation, financial strength, reporting, pricing and research capabilities, among other factors. Cooksen Wealth continues to provide services relative to the discretionary selection of the Independent Managers. On an ongoing basis, the Firm monitors the performance of those accounts being managed by Independent Managers. Cooksen Wealth seeks to ensure the Independent Managers’ strategies and target allocations remain aligned with its clients’ investment objectives and overall best interests.
