recommendations. A conflict of interest exists if TCCR recommends its own services.
Clients are under no obligation to act upon any of the recommendations made by TCCR
under a financial planning or consulting engagement and/or to engage the services of any
such recommended professional, including TCCR itself. The client retains absolute
discretion over all such implementation decisions and is free to accept or reject any of
TCCR’s recommendations. Moreover, clients are advised that it remains their
responsibility to promptly notify TCCR if there is ever any change in their financial
situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing, evaluating, or revising
TCCR’s previous recommendations and/or services.

InvestmentAdvisoryServices
TCCR provides investment advisory services pursuant to a written investment
management agreement, which sets forth the terms and conditions under which TCCR shall
render its services.
Independent Investment Manager Programs
TCCR may recommend that certain clients authorize the active discretionary management
of a portion of their assets by one or more independent investment managers
(“independent managers”), based upon the stated investment objectives of the client. The
terms and conditions under which the client shall engage anindependent manager shall be
set forth in the Agreement or in separate written agreements between (1) the client and
TCCR and (2) the client and the designated independent manager. TCCR shall continue to
render advisory services to the client relative to the ongoing monitoring and review of
account performance, for which TCCR shall receive a quarterly advisory fee. Factors that
TCCR shall consider in recommending independent managers include the client’s stated
investment objectives, management style, performance, reputation, financial strength,
reporting, pricing, and research. TCCR also reserves the authority to terminate
independent managers.
TCCR shall generally recommend that clients utilize the brokerage and clearing services of
Fidelity Investments and its affiliates (Fidelity), Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (BBH) or
Charles Schwab. TCCR may only implement its investment management recommendations
after the client has arranged for and furnished TCCR with all information and authorization
regarding accounts with appropriate financial institutions.
In addition to TCCR’s written disclosure statement, the client shall also receive a written
disclosure statement of the designated independent manager. Certain independent
managers may impose more restrictive account requirements and varying billing practices
than TCCR. In such instances, TCCR may alter its corresponding account requirements
and/or billing practices to accommodate those of the independent manager.
Clients have five (5) business days from the date of execution of their investment
management agreement with TCCR to terminate services provided by TCCR. Terms and
conditions are contained in said agreement. Upon termination after the date of execution,
TCCR shall reimburse from the date of termination any fee prepaid to TCCR for investment
management as negotiated with the client; at a minimum, TCCR will reimburse the unused
duration of the agreement.
The Chartered Portfolio Program
TCCR also offers The Chartered Portfolio program, which is a fee-based asset management
program that allows TCCR the discretion to manage the client's account within
predetermined constraints. Portfolios are designed and maintained to offer flexibility to
meet the client's unique investment objectives, financial goals and investment risk
tolerance. Each portfolio is designed utilizing strategic asset allocation and diversification
techniques.
The securities used to implement the strategy will generally consist of exchange traded
funds and mutual funds. Stocks, bonds, other general securities, and/or alternative
investments may also be considered based on the clients’ stated objectives. TCCR will
provide its clients with annual performance reports, monitor their accounts, discuss
account performance, and be available to answer questions on a continuing and ongoing
basis. The Chartered Portfolio will be adjusted periodically to keep asset allocation and
investments in line with the client’s stated objectives. The client’s overall financial
condition will be evaluated at least annually to identify any changes in their situation and
to determine whether any new circumstances warrant a change in investment objectives
and portfolio.
TCCR shall generally recommend that Chartered Portfolio clients utilize the brokerage and
clearing services of Fidelity Investments and its affiliates (collectively referred to as
“Fidelity”) for investment management accounts. TCCR may only implement its investment
management recommendations after the client has arranged for and furnished TCCR with
all information and authorization regarding accounts with appropriate financial
institutions.
Clients may incur certain charges imposed by the Financial Institution(s) and other third
parties such as fees charged by Independent Managers, custodial fees, charges imposed
directly by a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund in the account, which shall be disclosed
in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other fund expenses), deferred
sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees,
and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Additionally,
for assets outside of any wrap fee programs, clients may incur brokerage commissions and
transaction fees. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to
TCCR’s fee.
TCCR also may render non-discretionary investment management services to clients
relative to: (1) variable life/annuity products that they may own, and/or (2) their
individual employer-sponsored retirement plans. In so doing, TCCR either directs or
recommends the allocation of client assets among the various mutual fund subdivisions
that comprise the variable life/annuity product or the retirement plan. The client's assets
shall be maintained either at the specific insurance company that issued the variable
life/annuity product owned by the client, or at the custodian designated by the sponsor of
the client’s retirement plan.
Clients have five (5) business days from the date of execution of their investment
management agreement with TCCR to terminate services provided by TCCR. Terms and
conditions are contained in said agreement. Upon termination, TCCR shall reimburse from
the date of termination any fee prepaid to TCCR for investment management as negotiated
with the client; at a minimum, TCCR will reimburse the unused duration of the agreement.
Long Road Risk Management Services
TCCR has an arrangement with Long Road Risk Management Services, LLC (LRRM) to
provide insurance solutions to clients. Clients who choose to purchase insurance coverage
through LRRM will need to enter into a customer agreement with LRRM or its affiliate.
When a client chooses to purchase an insurance product through LRRM on certain
insurance solutions, TCCR receives a benefit in the form of an annual fee to provide
investment advisory services in the nature of advice concerning the management of the
insurance products and to deliver the annual policy report to clients who own them.

Additions may be in cash or securities, provided that TCCR reserves the right to liquidate
any transferred securities, or decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account.
TCCR may consult with its clients about the options and ramifications of transferring
securities. However, clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated,
they are subject to transaction fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e. contingent
deferred sales charges) and/or tax ramifications.
TCCR’s clients are advised to promptly notify TCCR if there are any changes in their
financial situation or investment objectives or if they wish to impose any reasonable
restrictions upon TCCR’s management services.

party. Transactions that do not result in a change of actual control or management of TCCR
shall not be considered an assignment.

requirements of Rule 204-3 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Advisers
Act”), shall be provided to each client prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of

statement at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to executing the Agreement shall have five
(5) business days subsequent to executing the agreement to terminate TCCR’s services
without penalty.
