B. Types of Advisory Services. Our tailored Keep It Simple Strategy® centers on diversification through
asset allocation, dollar-cost averaging and periodic rebalancing. We provide value for our clients by
creating all our clients’ investment portfolios in-house with cost-effective passive investments with no
minimums and no transaction fees, when possible. We eliminate layers of additional management fees
and company expenses by investing as directly in the stock and bond markets as practical. As
investment fiduciaries, we place our clients’ best interests first by investing simply and in a disciplined
manner.
We provide four distinct types of advisory services for individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans,
trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities. There is a separate
Agreement for each type of service. The Agreement specifically sets forth the terms governing the
services provided by AAA; clients should carefully review the Agreement prior to approval.
1. Discretionary Investment Management Services. AAA has the power and discretion to
supervise, manage, and direct the investment of the assets in the Account, including the authority
to purchase, sell, invest, exchange, convert, and trade the Account assets and to place all orders for
the purchase and sale of securities with or through brokers, dealers, or issuers selected by the
Advisor, or to otherwise effect transactions with respect to the Account, without prior
consultation with the client. AAA may also have the authority to request disbursements to the
client, and to deduct management fees.
Asset Allocation Portfolios consist of stocks, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds,
certificates of deposit (CDs) and cash.
Dividend Boosters Discipline® is a focused individual stock strategy consists of about 25
domestic US companies that have a global footprint and a history of increasing dividends,
diversified across major economic sectors. The Dividend Boosters Discipline® strategy is

larger, more established portfolios.
2. Non-Discretionary Investment Advisory Services. AAA offers non-discretionary investment
advisory services only to current clients on a "grandfathered-in" basis. AAA will provide the client
with personalized advice on the assets in the client’s account(s) as listed and described in the

Account assets and to place orders for the purchase and sale of securities with prior approval of
each transaction from the client. AAA may also have the authority to request disbursements to
the client, and to deduct management fees.
3. Qualified Retirement Plan Platform with a separate participant Recordkeeper. Our
investment platform was developed by our firm and features no-load, no-transaction-fee Exchange
Traded Funds (ETFs) and mutual funds with no minimum transaction size, held in a custodial trust
account. Within each plan, there are three customized options:
Discretionary Advisor-Managed Model Portfolios. AAA is a discretionary ERISA
Section 3(38) Fiduciary Investment Manager solely responsible for the selection and
monitoring of investment choices within five asset allocation model portfolios based on
participants’ tolerance for volatility. Models are comprised of the same self-directed
choices available to participants. The portfolios are named Aggressive, Growth, Balanced,
Moderate and Conservative.
Non-Discretionary Participant Self-Directed Choices. AAA is also a non-discretionary
ERISA Section 3(21) Fiduciary, recommending and monitoring a diverse list of
investment choices for participants to self-direct. The Client can add or delete choices and
approves the final list of investment choices available for participants.
Non-Discretionary Separate Brokerage Account. For an additional annual
administrative cost and separate transaction fees, participants may choose to self-direct a
full range of investments in a separate brokerage account with the same custodian that
handles the plan platform.
4. Financial Planning Services. Our firm offers Financial Planning services billed at an hourly rate.
At the discretion of AAA, incidental financial planning services may be included as part of the
clients’ fee for other services.
C. Each client’s portfolio is tailored to their individual needs, including their goals, time horizon, and
tolerance for investment volatility. We hold a meeting or series of meetings designed to gather all
relevant facts regarding each clients’ individual circumstances. Portfolios can be customized for any
reason, such as the client’s desire for socially responsible or sustainable investing. We accommodate
our clients’ requests for holding legacy assets or other exceptions to our standard recommendations.
We manage each portfolio individually. We provide a service, not a product.
D. AAA does not assign any advisory contract to any outside parties without the written consent
of the client.
E. Our firm does not offer or sponsor a wrap fee program.
F. Client assets managed by AAA on a discretionary basis total $155,193,569. Client assets managed by
