TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES SAM provides investment management services on a discretionary basis to a variety of clients, including high net worth individuals, trusts, charities, corporate entities and partnerships. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES SAM’s services typically include selection, monitoring and review of portfolio assets on a discretionary basis. The initial step involves a meeting or a telephone conference with the client to explain the services that SAM offers. The client and SAM will enter into an Investment Management Agreement (“IMA”) prior to the commencement of SAM managing the client’s portfolio. The IMA sets out the terms of the engagement, including the investment objectives and fees to be charged, which remain subject to review throughout the relationship. SAM continuously reviews client portfolios based on the individual needs of the client. These are established through personal discussions, in which goals and objectives based on a client’s particular circumstances are discussed. SAM creates and manages a portfolio

based on that policy. SAM will create a portfolio consisting of some or all of the following: individual equities, bonds, ETFs, Sarasin-managed mutual funds (Sarasin Funds) representing Sarasin’s core investment process, and selective third-party funds. SAM will allocate the client’s assets among various investments, taking into consideration the overall risk profile of the client. Portfolio allocations will be determined by each client’s individual needs, circumstances and tolerance of risk. SAM gathers required information through client meetings and through the completion of a detailed client profile document within the IMA and a full suitability assessment. Other professionals (e.g. lawyers, accountants, insurance agents, etc.) are engaged directly by the client on an as needed basis. Conflicts of interest are disclosed to the client by way of a conflict’s disclosure in the IMA. Where specific conflicts are identified, these will be managed in accordance with the firm’s conflicts management policies and disclosed to the client. TAILORED RELATIONSHIPS SAM tailors its management services to the individual needs of the client. The goals and objectives for each client are documented in the IMA and reviewed periodically in the suitability assessment. SAM clients are allowed to impose restrictions on the investments in their account and SAM may accept any reasonable limitation or restriction to discretionary authority on the account placed by the client. All limitations and restrictions placed on accounts must be fully documented in the IMA or presented to SAM in writing. WRAP FEE PROGRAMS SAM does not participate in Wrap Fee Programs. ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT As of December 31, 2023, SAM manages US $603,306,452 of assets. All assets are managed on a discretionary basis. As set out in Item 10 “Other Financial Activities and Affiliations”, in rendering investment management services, SAM may use the resources of its affiliate, S&P.
