Description of the Advisory Firm Portfolio Strategies, Inc. (“PSI” or the “Firm”) is a company organized in the State of New York. PSI is an investment advisory firm registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). PSI has been providing investment advisory services to a varied clientele since 1993. PSI is majority owned by Mr. Paul S. Kirshenbaum. PSI offers services both from Monsey, NY and Montvale, NJ. Types of Advisory Services PSI provides holistic and personalized discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to individuals, including high net worth individuals, and entities, including, but not limited to, trusts, estates, private foundations, and qualified retirement plans. Investment Management Services PSI offers investment management services on a discretionary basis. All investment advice provided is customized to each client’s investment objectives and financial needs. The information provided by the client, together with any other information relating to the client’s overall financial circumstances, will be used by PSI to determine the appropriate portfolio asset allocation and investment strategy for the client. Account supervision is guided by the stated objectives (i.e., growth, growth with some current income, current income with some growth) and risk tolerance of the client. PSI's basic investment approach is to achieve capital appreciation (i.e., growth), with variations on the approach that take into consideration the client's objectives and risk tolerance. The securities utilized by PSI for investment in client accounts primarily consist of equity securities, registered mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs), but we may also invest in corporate bonds, REITS, unit investment trusts, and alternative investments, among others, if we determine such investments fit within a client’s objectives and are in the best interest of our clients. Client portfolios may also include private investment funds, which are offered only to clients who are accredited investors, and when the investment is consistent with the client’s stated investment objectives and risk tolerance. Investment Management Services to Retirement Plans PSI offers discretionary and non-discretionary advisory services to qualified plans, including 401k and

pension plans. These services include, depending upon the needs of the plan client, recommending, or for discretionary clients selecting, investment options for plans to offer to participants, ongoing monitoring of a plan’s investment options, assisting plan fiduciaries in creating and/or updating the plan’s written investment policy statements, working with plan service providers, and providing general investment education to plan participants. PSI cannot provide any guarantees or promises that a client’s financial goals and objectives will be met. Client-Tailored Advisory Services We want clients to have a thorough understanding of PSI's investment approach. If a client requests securities other than mutual funds or ETFs in his/her portfolio the client will be accommodated, if possible. Clients may impose reasonable restrictions on the management of their accounts if PSI determines, in its sole discretion, that the conditions would not materially impact the performance of a management strategy or prove overly burdensome for PSI’s management efforts. Information Received From Clients PSI will not assume any responsibility for the accuracy of the information provided by clients. PSI is not obligated to verify any information received from a client or other professionals (e.g., attorney, accountant) designated by a client, and PSI is expressly authorized by the client to rely on such information provided. Under all circumstances, clients are responsible for promptly notifying PSI in writing of any material changes to the client’s financial situation, investment objectives, time horizon, or risk tolerance. Fiduciary Acknowledgment When PSI provides investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, PSI is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts.
