General Information
Tyner Capital Management Investment Counsel, Inc. ("Tyner Capital Management") was formed in
1993, and provides portfolio management services to its clients.
Paul Tyner is the sole principal owner of Tyner Capital Management. Please see Brochure Supplement,
Exhibit A, for more information on Mr. Tyner.
As of December 31, 2023, Tyner Capital Management managed $210,244,667 on a discretionary basis,
and zero assets on a non-discretionary basis.
SERVICES PROVIDED
The firm specializes in the management of equity portfolios through fundamental research and a
disciplined investment process. Our primary objective is the long-term real growth of our clients'
capital. This is accomplished through investments in companies with relatively favorable attributes
which offer appreciation potential from:
Value - Through the purchase of shares at prices favorable to a company's real financial worth;
and
Growth - Through a high return on shareholders' capital, earnings momentum, and cash flow.
At the outset of each client relationship, Tyner Capital Management spends time with the client, asking
questions, discussing the client's investment experience and financial circumstances, and reviewing
options for the client. Based on its reviews, Tyner Capital Management generally develops with each
client:
•a financial outline for the client based on the client's financial circumstances and goals, and the
client's risk tolerance level (the "Financial Profile" or "Profile"); and
•the client's investment objectives and guidelines (the "Investment Plan" or "Plan").
The Financial Profile is a reflection of the client's current financial picture and a look to the future goals
of the client. The Investment Plan outlines the types of investments Tyner Capital Management will
make or recommend on behalf of the client to meet those goals. The Profile and the Plan are discussed
regularly with each client, but are not necessarily written documents.
Portfolio Management
As described above, at the beginning of a client relationship, Tyner Capital Management meets with the
client, gathers information, and performs research and analysis as necessary to develop the client's
Investment Plan. The Investment Plan will be updated from time to time when requested by the client,
or when determined to be necessary or advisable by Tyner Capital Management based on updates to the
client's financial or other circumstances.

To implement the client's Investment Plan, Tyner Capital Management will manage the client's
investment portfolio on a discretionary or a non-discretionary basis. As a discretionary investment
adviser, Tyner Capital Management will have the authority to supervise and direct the portfolio without
prior consultation with the client. Under a non-discretionary arrangement, clients must be contacted
prior to the execution of any trade in the account(s) under management. This may result in a delay in
executing recommended trades, which could adversely affect the performance of the portfolio. This
delay also normally means the affected account(s) will not be able to participate in block trades, a
practice designed to enhance the execution quality, timing and/or cost for all accounts included in the
block. In a non-discretionary arrangement, the client retains the responsibility for the final decision on
all actions taken with respect to the portfolio.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, clients may impose certain written restrictions on Tyner Capital
Management in the management of their investment portfolios, such as prohibiting the inclusion of
certain types of investments in an investment portfolio or prohibiting the sale of certain investments
held in the account at the commencement of the relationship. Each client should note, however, that
restrictions imposed by a client may adversely affect the composition and performance of the client's
investment portfolio. Each client should also note that his or her investment portfolio is treated
individually by giving consideration to each purchase or sale for the client's account. For these and
other reasons, performance of client investment portfolios within the same investment objectives, goals
and/or risk tolerance may differ and clients should not expect that the composition or performance of
their investment portfolios would necessarily be consistent with similar clients of Tyner Capital
Management.
Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Establishing a sound fiduciary governance process is vital to good decision-making and to ensuring that
prudent procedural steps are followed in making investment decisions. Tyner Capital Management will
provide Retirement Plan consulting services to Plans and Plan Fiduciaries as described below. The
particular services provided will be detailed in the consulting agreement. The appropriate Plan
Fiduciary(ies) designated in the Plan documents (e.g., the Plan sponsor or named fiduciary) will (i)
make the decision to retain our firm; (ii) agree to the scope of the services that we will provide; and (iii)
make the ultimate decision as to accepting any of the recommendations that we may provide. The Plan
Fiduciaries are free to seek independent advice about the appropriateness of any recommended services
for the Plan. Retirement Plan consulting services may be offered individually or as part of a
comprehensive suite of services.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") sets forth rules under which Plan
Fiduciaries may retain investment advisers for various types of services with respect to Plan assets. For
certain services, Tyner Capital Management will be considered a fiduciary under ERISA. For example,
Tyner Capital Management will act as an ERISA § 3(21) fiduciary when providing nondiscretionary
investment advice to the Plan Fiduciaries by recommending a suite of investments as choices among
which Plan Participants may select. Also, to the extent that the Plan Fiduciaries retain Tyner Capital
Management to act as
an investment manager within the meaning of ERISA § 3(38), Tyner Capital
Management will provide discretionary investment management services to the Plan.

With respect to any account for which Tyner Capital Management meets the definition of a fiduciary
under Department of Labor rules, Tyner Capital Management acknowledges that both Tyner Capital
Management and its Related Persons are acting as fiduciaries. Additional disclosure may be found
elsewhere in this Brochure or in the written agreement between Tyner Capital Management and Client.

IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your
retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are fiduciaries 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. The way we make money creates some conflicts with
your interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put
our interest ahead of yours. Under this special rule's provisions, we must:
•Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
•Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
•Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
•Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
•Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
•Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management and, in
turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in your best
interest.
We benefit financially from the allocation of assets to an equities portfolio versus a bond portfolio as
we will earn a higher management fee. As a fiduciary, we recommend the client allocate rollover assets
consistent with the client's investment objectives.
