A. Describe your advisory firm, including how long you have been in business. Identify your principal owner(s). CoastEdge Partners (“CoastEdge”) is an independent advisory firm that builds, manages, and oversees multi-asset class portfolios for a select number of families, foundations, private funds and other clients (each, a “Client” and collectively, the “Clients”). The firm and its predecessor began in 2006, initially to manage the portfolios of a small number of families and their private foundations. As of December 31, 2023, CoastEdge managed approximately $1,650,333,000 of regulatory assets under management. The firm’s regulatory assets under management also include any uncalled capital commitments of private funds managed or supervised by CoastEdge. CoastEdge is a privately-owned firm and is 100% owned by the firm’s partners, Richard J. Effress, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer, and Steven S. Simpson, Managing Partner and Chief Compliance Officer. Investment Management, Investment Advisory and Supervisory Services B. Describe the types of advisory services you offer. If you hold yourself out as specializing in a particular type of advisory service, such as financial planning, quantitative analysis, or market timing, explain the nature of that service in greater detail. If you provide investment advice only with respect to limited types of investments, explain the type of investment advice you offer, and disclose that your advice is limited to those types of investments. CoastEdge’s core business approach is to work with each Client in order to understand that Client’s complete financial picture in a holistic manner and then mutually agree with the Client on a portfolio management plan. CoastEdge’s investment philosophy aims to preserve capital, reduce volatility, and increase long- term purchasing power through conservative growth. CoastEdge’s approach includes the following:
• Asset allocation with broad asset class diversification
• Access to investment managers
• Due diligence
• Liquidity management
• Investment implementation advice and support
• Integration of legal, governance and other factors that impact financial results and address the broader needs of client families An investment program is customized for each Client and will incorporate a selection of managers and passive strategies CoastEdge across a wide universe of managers of private funds, separate accounts, and certain mutual funds, encompassing all sectors of the market, all geographies and all liquidity spectrums for its clients. The firm offers two main services, each of them benefiting from the expertise of the firm’s research group:
• Custom Multi-Asset Class portfolios, for which the firm builds diversified global portfolios covering multiple geographies and asset classes, customized for the clients’ needs. At times, these portfolios may be highly concentrated in a limited number of asset classes if appropriate for the individual client. These portfolios are specific to clients that enter into an investment management agreement with CoastEdge (“Advisory Clients”);
• CoastEdge Fund Vehicles (“CoastEdge Funds” or “Funds”), are available to CoastEdge Advisory clients as well as Non-Advisory clients and include: 1) unregistered funds that provide diversified commingled investment strategies for qualified investors (“Evergreen Funds”), as well as 2) special purpose vehicles (“Access Funds”) that aggregate client assets and provide access to specific private investments. Through the Funds, CoastEdge seeks to achieve several important benefits for Clients, including: diversification, access to top-tier investment managers, streamlined operations, and consolidated performance, financial and tax reporting. Based on the portfolio management plan designed by CoastEdge and each Advisory Client, CoastEdge may recommend that Advisory Clients invest in one or more CoastEdge Funds, each of which has a specific investment objective. As a result, an Advisory Client may be invested through the CoastEdge Funds across an array of asset classes with investment management teams that CoastEdge believes are top-tier in their sectors. All relevant information pertaining to CoastEdge Fund recommendations, including the compensation, other fees and expenses paid by the respective CoastEdge Fund, withdrawal rights, minimum investments, qualification requirements, suitability, risk factors and potential conflicts of interest is set forth in the respective CoastEdge Fund’s disclosure documents, governing documents and other offering materials pertaining

to such interest (the “Offering Materials”). Each investor in a CoastEdge Fund is required to receive, review and execute (as applicable) the Offering Materials prior to being accepted as an investor in any CoastEdge Fund. Reporting Services CoastEdge also provides comprehensive reporting services, including reporting for sophisticated investments and distinct pools of capital (e.g., trusts, family partnerships), which can incorporate all of the Advisory Client’s investment assets and financial picture, and may include those investments that we do not manage for the client. Fees for such services are negotiated with our clients depending on the nature of the investments held. Financial Planning Services For clients who request our assistance, CoastEdge may provide a variety of financial planning related services. These services generally involve our clients’ service providers such as accountants and estate attorneys, and may encompass developing strategies around Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, and Lines of Credit Evaluation. 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 Clients and prospective clients. When we provide investment advice regarding a Client’s or prospect’s 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 a Client’s interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in a Client’s best interest and not put our interest ahead of our clients. 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 a Client’s 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 a Client’s best interest. C. Explanation of whether (and, if so, how) we tailor our advisory services to the individual needs of clients and whether clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities: While CoastEdge is an investment advisor registered with the SEC, we may or may not exercise any investment discretion over Advisory Client assets depending upon the nature of the relationship with the client (for example, we will exercise investment discretion with certain accounts of related persons and certain CoastEdge Funds). We will not exercise investment discretion for those accounts where the Advisory Client has not specifically provided such authority to CoastEdge within the executed Investment Management Agreement. In those cases where investment discretion is not specifically provided within the Investment Management Agreement, we will direct, with clients’ prior approval of each transaction, the investment and reinvestment of the assets in their accounts. Such Advisory Clients may choose to follow or disregard any recommendation, advice or suggestion made by CoastEdge, and may impose restrictions on the types of investments to be held in their portfolios. D. Participation in wrap fee programs: CoastEdge does not offer wrap fee programs. E. Disclosure of the amount of client assets we manage on a discretionary basis and the amount of client assets we manage on a non-discretionary basis: As of December 31, 2023, we had a total of $1,650,333,000 regulatory assets under management. $952,866,000 of assets were managed on a discretionary basis and $697,467,000 were managed on a non- discretionary basis.
