ITEM 4—ADVISORY BUSINESS
Description of Advisory Firm
Bolthouse Investments, LLC dba Bolthouse Investment Management Services (“Bolthouse Investments,”
“we,” “our,” “the firm” or “us”) is a privately-owned limited liability company headquartered in
Bakersfield, California. Bolthouse Investments is registered as an investment advisor with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Bolthouse Investments was established in March 2008, in anticipation of registration with the SEC, to
carry on the investment advisory business previously conducted by Bolthouse Properties, LLC
(“Bolthouse Properties”). Registered with the SEC in March 2012, Bolthouse Investments is wholly
owned by Bolthouse Properties, which in turn is primarily owned by members of the Bolthouse family.
Advisory Services Offered
Bolthouse Investments offers the following services to advisory clients:
Investment Management Services
Bolthouse Investments offers advice to clients regarding asset allocation and the selection of
investments. Investment management services are provided primarily through two private partnerships
(equity and fixed income) organized by Bolthouse Investments (each a “Fund”). Assets in the Funds are
invested either with third-party advisors or in mutual funds, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), and
individual securities selected by us. We provide continuous and regular investment supervisory services
on a fully discretionary basis.
The Funds are available only to accredited investors, as the term is defined by rule 501 of Regulation D
under the Securities Act of 1933. Additional information on each Fund is provided in its offering
documents. This brochure is not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, interests in the
Funds. Such an offer only occurs when a prospective investor receives the offering documents.
The third-party advisors and mutual funds selected by Bolthouse Investments primarily utilize the
following investment types when making investment purchases for the Funds:
Equity securities, including U.S. securities and foreign securities listed on U.S. exchanges using
American depositary receipts or listed on foreign exchanges
Fixed-income securities, including corporate bonds, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit
Securities with equity and debt characteristics, including convertible bonds, preferred stocks or
other preferred securities
Municipal securities
U.S. government securities
Mutual funds
Exchange-traded funds (each an “ETF”)
Money-market funds and cash
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 1
Depending on the individual investment objectives and needs of individual clients, our investment
selections may include the securities held by the Funds and:
Real estate investment trusts (each a “REIT”)
Promissory notes
Closed-end funds
Variable annuities
Deeds of trust
Interests in partnerships and other entities investing in real estate, oil and gas interests, and leases
Master limited partnerships
Private funds
Unit investment trusts
Warrants and rights
Insurance products, including variable life insurance
Viaticals
Options contracts on securities and commodities
Futures contracts
Managed futures accounts
Limited liability company interests
Treasury inflation-protected securities
Inflation-indexed bonds
Other investments
Bolthouse Investments may also occasionally utilize additional types of investments if to address the
individual needs, goals, and objectives of a client or in response to a client inquiry. Bolthouse
Investments may offer investment advice on any investment held by the client. We describe the
material investment risks for many of the securities that we utilize in Item 8—Methods of Analysis,
Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss—Specific Security Risks.
We may also offer non-discretionary services depending on client circumstances. We discuss our
discretionary authority in Item 16—Investment Discretion. For more information about the restrictions
clients may put on their accounts, see Tailored Services and Client-Imposed Restrictions in this item.
We describe the fees that we charge for investment management services in Item 5—Fees and
Compensation.
Consulting Services
From time to time, Bolthouse Investments may offer financial consulting as requested by the client. We
describe the fees charged for consulting services in Item 5—Fees and Compensation.
Bill Pay Services
Bolthouse Investments provides non-investment advisory services to advisory clients where the firm has
direct access to client bank account(s) and other asset(s), often referred to as bill paying services. Fees
for these services are separate and distinct from the advisory fees and negotiated and billed separately
to the client.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services

Limitations on Investments
In the following circumstances, our advice may be limited to certain types of securities:
Limitation by Plan Sponsor or Employer
When we provide services to a retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 403(b), or other employer plan, we are
limited to those investment providers and investment options chosen by the plan sponsor. Similarly,
when we provide services to participants in an employer-sponsored plan, the participant may be limited
to investing in securities included in the plan’s investment options. Therefore, Bolthouse Investments
can only select investments for or make recommendations to the client from among the available
options. We will not recommend or invest the client’s account in other securities, even if we perceive
that other options are more attractive.
Limitation by Issuer
When we manage assets within an annuity, we are limited to those investment options made available
by the annuity provider.
Limitation by Custodian
There may be limitations imposed by the custodian holding the account on the securities that Bolthouse
Investments may utilize in a client’s account based on limitations. Bolthouse Investments encourages
clients to establish brokerage accounts with Schwab Advisor Services, a division of Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), which is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation. Schwab offers a broad range of investment products, but we may
occasionally recommend a security for the client that Schwab does not have available. We typically
purchase the security from another firm, and have it transferred to the client’s Schwab account. Schwab
may charge the client additional fees. Bolthouse Investments considers these fees when we
recommend outside securities.
Limitation by Client
Bolthouse Investments may limit advice based on client-imposed restrictions. For more information
about the restrictions that clients may put on their accounts, see Tailored Services and Client-Imposed
Restrictions in this item.
Non-Managed Assets
With respect to investment management services, Bolthouse Investments will only be responsible for
the supervision and management of securities and other investments that we recommend or select.
Bolthouse Investments is not responsible for the supervision or management of non-managed assets.
Non-managed assets may include securities held in a client’s account that were (1) delivered into the
account by the client, (2) purchased by the client, (3) purchased by Bolthouse Investments at the
request of the client as an accommodation, or (4) designated by the client to be non-managed securities
by written notification.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 3
We do not provide investment advice regarding that portion of the client’s account designated as non-
managed assets, nor do we provide opinions as to the merits of any non-managed asset held in the
account. We also do not make any judgments as to the appropriateness of assumed risk or the
suitability of any non-managed investment. Bolthouse Investments monitors and reports on non-
managed assets at no charge and at our discretion, in consideration of other assets that we manage for
the client.
Tailored Services and Client-Imposed Restrictions
Bolthouse Investments applies a customized investment strategy for each client, based on the client’s
individual circumstances and financial situation.
We make investment decisions for clients based on information that the client supplies about his or her
financial situation, goals, and risk tolerance. Our investment selections may not be suitable if the client
does not provide us with accurate and complete information. Clients should keep Bolthouse
Investments informed of any changes to their investment objectives or restrictions.
Clients may also request other restrictions on the account. For example, a client may need to keep a
minimum level of cash in the account or may not want Bolthouse Investments to buy or sell specific
securities or security types in the account. Bolthouse Investments reserves the right not to accept or to
terminate management of a client’s account if we feel that client-imposed restrictions would limit or
prevent us from achieving or maintaining the client’s investment strategy. Clients may not impose
restrictions on the investments selected for the Funds.
Assets Under Management
Bolthouse Investments manages client assets in both discretionary and non-discretionary accounts on a
continuous and regular basis. As of December 31, 2024, we managed approximately $496,854,883
assets on a discretionary basis and approximately $47,965,625 assets on a non-discretionary basis. Our
total assets under management as of that date were approximately $544,820,508.
ITEM 5—FEES AND COMPENSATION
Fee Schedule
Investment Management Services
Bolthouse Investments charges an asset management fee for investment management services. Our fee
schedule is as follows and includes the market value of the client’s interests (if any) in the Funds:
0.50% per annum if assets total $5 million or less
0.40% per annum if assets total $5,000,001 to $20 million
0.35% per annum if assets total greater than $20,000,001
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 4
Bolthouse Investments charges the Funds a management fee. For more information about fees and
expenses paid by the Funds to third-party advisors, see Other Fees and Expenses in this item.
Some accounts may be under different fee schedules honoring prior agreements. Our standard fee
schedule may be negotiable based on a number of factors, which include but are not limited to
grandfathered accounts, Bolthouse family accounts, and other structures that we may consider in
special situations. In most circumstances, the client’s quarterly fee calculation will reflect any prorated
additions or reductions.
Consulting Services
At a client’s request, Bolthouse Investments may offer consulting services at an hourly rate to be
negotiated at the time. The hourly rate will depend on the nature and complexity of the client’s
circumstances. We will provide an estimate of the total hours required at the start of the relationship.
Bolthouse Investments may also provide consulting services at a reduced rate or free of charge for
particular clients, such as Bolthouse family members.
Billing Method
Investment Management Services
Our advisory fees are accrued monthly and are payable quarterly in arrears. Monthly fee accruals are
based on the market value of the assets in client accounts on the last business day of each month during
a calendar quarter, adjusted for receivables and payables. Fees are usually subject to adjustment for
cash flows. For advisory fee billing purposes, a calendar quarter is a period beginning on January 1, April
1, July 1, or October 1 and ending on the day before the next quarter begins.
For new client accounts, the first payment is a pro rata calculation that takes into consideration the
account market value, adjusted for receivables and payables, on the last day of each month during the
calendar quarter during which the account was open. The fee is adjusted to reflect the number of days
in the quarter that the account has been open. A day is any calendar day, including weekends and
holidays.
Bolthouse Investments sends a quarterly fee statement to each client. The quarterly fee statement
shows the amount of the fee and the value of the client’s assets upon which we based the fee. Clients
decide whether they wish to have the advisory fees withdrawn directly from their custodial accounts or
to pay by check. Clients should verify the accuracy of fee calculations.
With client authorization, Bolthouse Investments will instruct the custodian to withdraw our advisory
fee from the client’s account on a quarterly basis. Typically, the custodian withdraws advisory fees from
client accounts during the first or second month following the end of each calendar quarter based on
our instruction. All clients will receive account statements from their account custodians no less
frequently than quarterly. Account statements will show the deduction of the advisory fee for clients
who authorize fees to be withdrawn directly from their accounts. For clients who choose not to have
advisory fees withdrawn directly from their custodial accounts, fees are payable upon receipt of the
quarterly fee statement.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 5
Consulting Services
Hourly fees are payable quarterly in arrears based on the hours billed for the quarter.
Other Fees and Expenses
We charge a management fee on Fund accounts that are managed by in-house staff using a significant
amount of individual securities; 0.35% per annum on ‘Equity’ accounts and 0.15% per annum on ‘Fixed
Income/Cash Equivalent’ accounts. The rate is based on the quarter-end value of the specific Fund
account.
Our fees do not include custodial fees. Clients pay all brokerage commissions, stock-transfer fees,
margin charges, foreign-exchange and settlement fees, and other charges incurred in connection with
transactions in accounts, from the assets in the account. These charges are in addition to the fees that
the client pays to Bolthouse Investments. Item 12—Brokerage Practices provides more information.
All fees paid to Bolthouse Investments for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from
the fees and expenses charged by third-party advisors to our clients and the Funds. Mutual funds pay
advisory fees to their managers, which are indirectly charged to all holders of the mutual fund shares. In
some instances, mutual fund shares held in a client’s account or in Fund accounts are subject to
deferred sales charges, rule 12b-1 fees, early redemption fees, and other mutual fund-related expenses.
A mutual fund’s prospectus fully describes these fees and expenses.
A client could invest with a third-party advisor or in a mutual fund directly, without using our services.
In that case, the client would not receive the services that we provide, which include negotiating fee
reductions when possible and determining which third-party advisors or mutual funds we feel are most
appropriate to the Funds’ objectives or, in the case of a direct investment by a client, the client's
financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, clients should review both the fees charged by the third-
party advisors and mutual funds and the advisory fees that we charge to understand the total amount of
fees that the client will pay and to evaluate the advisory services that we provide.
Termination
Either party may terminate the advisory agreement at any time by providing written notice to the other
party. The client may terminate the agreement at any time by writing Bolthouse Investments at the
address on the cover page of this brochure. Investments in the Funds may be withdrawn on designated
withdrawal dates, upon a specified number of days’ prior written notice, all as set forth in the applicable
Fund offering documents.
Upon notice of termination, Bolthouse Investments will calculate the final fees due for services provided
through the date of termination. Any advisory fees that we have earned for the services provided will
be due upon termination.
A termination will not affect liabilities or obligations from transactions initiated in a client account prior
to termination. In the event that the client terminates the investment advisory agreement, Bolthouse
Investments will not liquidate any securities in the account unless instructed by the client to do so. In
the event of a client’s death or disability, Bolthouse Investments will continue to manage the account
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 6
until we are notified of the client’s death or disability and given alternative instructions by an authorized
party.
ITEM 6—PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
This item is not applicable.
ITEM 7—TYPES OF CLIENTS
Bolthouse Investments provides discretionary and non-discretionary investment advisory services to the
Funds and to individuals, high net-worth individuals, trusts and estates, individual participants of
retirement plans, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and institutional clients.
Generally, Bolthouse Investments requires clients to maintain a minimum account size of $500,000.
Bolthouse Investments may reduce or waive the account minimum requirements at our discretion.
ITEM 8—METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK
OF LOSS
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
General Investment Strategies
Bolthouse Investments generally uses diversification in an effort to minimize risk and to optimize the
potential return of a portfolio. More specifically, we utilize the Funds to diversify our clients’ portfolios
across multiple asset classes, investment styles, market capitalizations, sectors, regions, maturities, and
quality characteristics. We primarily select third-party advisors, mutual funds, and Exchange-Traded
Funds (“ETFs”) that employ active management strategies, in an effort to optimize Fund portfolios.
Additionally, we utilize passively managed investments.
Each client’s portfolio composition, including allocation between the Funds, is determined in accordance
with the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon. Even when managing client
investments outside of the Funds, Bolthouse Investments generally selects third-party advisors, mutual
funds, and ETFs based on the client’s investment objectives and financial situation. At times, Bolthouse
Investments may recommend private placements or initial public offerings (each an “IPO”) for clients
who meet net-worth or other accreditation requirements and have a sufficiently high tolerance for risk.
Methods of Analysis for Selecting Investments
Bolthouse Investments generally uses fundamental analysis in the selection of investment classes and
allocations, in an effort to capture some of a market’s upside while attempting to limit the downside.
Additionally, Bolthouse Investments may use specific strategies or resources in the method of analysis
and selection of third-party advisors and mutual funds.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 7
Fundamental Analysis. Bolthouse Investments selects third-party advisors, mutual funds, and ETFs by
analyzing public and private research sources. We review key characteristics, including historical
performance, consistency of returns, risk level, and the size of the mutual fund or ETF. Expense ratio
and other costs are also significant factors in third-party advisor, mutual fund, and ETF selection.
Specific Investment Strategies for Managing Portfolios. Our strategy consists of purchasing, holding, and
rebalancing a diversified portfolio of investments. Our goal of diversification is to help to minimize risk
and to optimize the potential return of a portfolio. Bolthouse Investments typically intends to hold
investments long term, except when sales are necessary to rebalance the portfolio, make distributions,
or to fund replacement acquisitions. Bolthouse Investments does not attempt to time short-term
market swings. Short-term buying and selling of investments is typically limited to those cases in which a
purchase has resulted in an unanticipated gain or loss, and we believe that a subsequent sale is in the
best interest of the client.
We primarily recommend third-party advisors, mutual funds, or ETFs that use strategies, among others,
like concentrated portfolios, cash as a strategic asset, short-term trading, tactical asset allocation, option
strategies, market timing, trend methodology, defensive strategies, hedging, leverage, margin, inverse
or enhanced market strategies, reverse convertible notes, and short-selling. We do not use these
specific investment strategies at the current time, but we may do so in the future.
Clients interested in learning more about any of these strategies should contact us for more information
or should refer to the prospectus of a mutual fund or the disclosure brochure of a third-party advisor.
We may also consider additional strategies based on specific client requests.
Third-Party Advisors
Bolthouse Investments utilizes third-party advisors for the Funds (and for some client accounts based on
the client’s investment objectives and financial situation) based on the third-party advisor’s
management style. The third-party advisors that we recommend to clients and select for the Funds
must maintain proper and current licensing and registrations, as applicable to each third-party advisor.
Investing Involves Risk
Prior to entering into an agreement with Bolthouse Investments, a client should carefully consider:
That investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear;
That securities markets experience varying degrees of volatility;
That, over time, the client’s assets may fluctuate and at any time be worth more or less than the
amount invested; and
That the client should commit only assets that he or she feels are available for investment on a long-
term basis.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 8
Specific Risks
Below are some of the key risks related to clients of Bolthouse Investments. This is not meant to be an
exhaustive list of all possible risks. Client should discuss with Bolthouse Investments any questions they
have related to the potential risks of their portfolio.
General Risks of Owning Securities
The prices of securities held in the Funds and in client accounts, and the income they generate, may
decline in response to events taking place around the world. These include events directly involving the
issuers of securities held as underlying assets in the Funds or a client’s account, conditions affecting the
general economy, and overall market changes. Other contributing factors include local, regional, or
global political, social, or economic instability and governmental or governmental agency responses to
economic conditions. Currency, interest-rate, and commodity price fluctuations may also affect security
prices and income.
Third Party Advisors
Bolthouse Investments does not have control over the investment decision made by the third-party
advisor in a client’s broader portfolio. Investing in multiple investment products could cause a client to
hold opposite positions in an investment. This could decrease or eliminate the possibility of positive
returns from such investment.
Private Funds
Investment in private funds, such as the Funds, is speculative and involves a substantial degree of risk.
Consequently, investing in private funds may not be suitable for all investors and is intended for
sophisticated investors who can accept the risks associated with these investments. These investments
may lose all or a substantial portion of their value, and investors must be prepared to bear the risk of
loss of their investments. Investors will have no recourse except with respect to the assets of the funds
or Funds in which they have invested. The Fund offering documents outline important information for
investors. Investors should review all documents carefully and should consider conducting additional
due diligence before investing in any private fund.
Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
The level of risk in a mutual fund depends on what it invests in.
• Money market funds have relatively low risks. By law, they can invest only in certain high-
quality, short-term investments issued by U.S. corporations, and federal, state and local
governments.
•
• Bond funds and ETFs have higher risks than money market funds because they typically aim to
produce higher returns. Because there are many different types of bonds, the risks and rewards
of bond funds can vary dramatically.
Stock funds and ETFs invest in corporate stocks. Not all stock funds are the same. Some
examples are:
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 9
o Growth funds focus on stocks that may not pay a regular dividend but have potential for
above-average financial gains.
Income funds invest in stocks that pay regular dividends.
Index funds track a particular market index such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.
o
o
o Sector funds specialize in a particular industry segment.
• Target date funds hold a mix of stocks, bonds, and other investments. Over time, the mix
gradually shifts according to the fund’s strategy. Target date funds, sometimes known as
lifecycle funds, are designed for individuals with particular retirement dates in mind.
All funds carry some level of risk. With mutual funds and ETFs, you may lose some or all of the money
you invest because the securities held by a fund can go down in value. Dividends or interest payments
may also change as market conditions change.
Equity Securities
Stocks generally fluctuate in value more than bonds and may decline significantly over short time
periods. There is the chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in
cycles, with periods of rising prices and falling prices. The value of a stock in which a fund or client
invests may decline due to general weakness in the stock market or because of factors that affect a
company or a particular industry.
Fixed Income Securities
Client accounts may hold U.S. Treasuries (“Treasuries”), U.S. Government Agencies, Corporate and
Municipal Bonds and Certificate of Deposits (“CD”), which Bolthouse categorizes as fixed income.
CDs are similar to savings accounts and insured up to $250,000 per depositor by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for banks and by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) for
credit unions. CD accounts held by clients are relatively low risk and should not lose value, however an
early withdrawal from a CD can result in getting less money than invested.
Fixed Income securities carry the following risks:
•
•
Inflation: Inflation can become problematic when prices rise too quickly or when rising demand
outpaces supply, causing disruption and imbalance. Bond yields may not keep pace with
inflation, and bond investors may lose purchasing power.
Interest Rate Risk: Fixed Income securities generally carry interest rate risk, meaning when
interest rates rise, the market value of debt obligations tends to decline. Rising interest rates
may adversely affect a bond’s return profile and in some cases losses may occur.
• Credit Risk: Corporate and Municipal Bonds carry credit risk, meaning the credit worthiness of
the issuer is an important consideration in terms of receiving timely principal and interest
payments.
• Reinvestment Risk: Investors may receive principal and interest payment at a time when yields
are lower and market conditions are less favorable.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 10
Investing Outside the U.S.
Investing outside the United States may involve additional risks as foreign securities may be adversely
affected by political and economic conditions overseas, reduced liquidity, or decreases in foreign
currency values relative to the U.S. dollars.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
A client account may hold cash or invest in cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include:
Commercial paper, such as short-term notes with maturities typically up to twelve months in length
issued by corporations, governmental bodies, or conduits of banks and corporations (including
asset-backed commercial paper);
Short-term bank obligations, such as bank notes, certificates of deposit, or bankers’ acceptances
(which are time drafts on a commercial bank in which the bank accepts an irrevocable obligation to
pay at maturity);
Savings association and savings bank obligations, such as savings bank notes and certificates of
deposit issued by savings banks or savings associations;
Securities of the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities that mature, or may be
redeemed, in one year or less; and
Corporate bonds and notes that mature, or that may be redeemed, in one year or less.
Cash and cash equivalents are the most liquid of investments. Cash and cash equivalents are considered
low-risk investments, meaning there is little risk of losing the principal investment. Typically, low risk
also means low return, and the revenue that an investor earns on this type of investment is usually low
relative to other types of investments.
ITEM 9—DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
This item is not applicable.
ITEM 10—OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND AFFILIATIONS
Bolthouse Investments does not offer any other services or have any affiliates in the financial industry.
Anthony L. Leggio, the Manager and the President of Bolthouse Investments, is a director of Tejon Ranch
Company, is of counsel to the law firm of Clifford & Brown, and is a director, member of the executive
committee, and chairman of the loan committee of Tri Counties Bank. Bolthouse Investments has no
business dealings with Tejon Ranch Company.
Bolthouse Investments has no business dealings with Clifford & Brown or Tri Counties Bank, other than
the provision or potential provision of investment advisory services and the purchase of legal and
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 11
banking services in the ordinary course of business. Bolthouse Investments does not conduct shared
operations or have shared premises with Tejon Ranch Company, Clifford & Brown, or Tri Counties Bank.
At times, Mr. Leggio or another officer of Bolthouse Investments may refer clients in need of legal
services to Clifford & Brown or in need of banking services to Tri Counties Bank. At times, Clifford &
Brown or Tri Counties Bank may refer its clients in need of investment advisory services to Bolthouse
Investments. Bolthouse Investments does not receive or pay fees for these referrals. While Mr. Leggio
may receive an indirect, immaterial benefit from these referrals as a principal of both Bolthouse
Investments and Tri Counties Bank, we believe that none of these activities creates a conflict of interest
for our clients or presents a time burden on Mr. Leggio’s required duties to Bolthouse Investments and
its clients.
Proprietary Private Funds
Bolthouse Investments is the investment advisor and general partner of the Funds, which are private
investment funds. Interests in the Funds are not publicly offered or traded. The Funds are available
only to accredited investors, as the term is defined by rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act
of 1933. Additional information on each Fund is provided in its offering documents. This brochure is
not an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to purchase, interests in the Funds. Such an offer only
occurs when a prospective investor receives the offering documents.
ITEM 11—CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN CLIENT
TRANSACTIONS, AND PERSONAL TRADING
Code of Ethics
Bolthouse Investments believes that we owe our clients the highest level of trust and fair dealing. As
part of our fiduciary duty, we place the interests of our clients ahead of the interests of the firm and our
personnel. Our personnel are required to conduct themselves with integrity at all times and to follow
the principles and policies detailed in our Code of Ethics.
Our Code of Ethics attempts to address specific conflicts of interest that we have identified or that could
likely arise. Our personnel are required to follow clear guidelines from the Code of Ethics in areas such
as gifts and entertainment, other business activities, prohibitions of insider trading, and adherence to
applicable state and federal securities laws. Additionally, individuals who formulate investment advice
for clients, or who have access to nonpublic information regarding any clients’ purchase or sale of
securities (each an “Access Person”), are subject to personal trading policies governed by the Code of
Ethics that are described in more detail below. Bolthouse Investments will provide a complete copy of
the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request.
Personal Trading Practices
Bolthouse Investments and our Access Persons will purchase or sell securities for themselves, regardless
of whether the transaction would be appropriate for a client’s account. In addition, Bolthouse will
recommend the Funds, in which Bolthouse has a material financial interest. Bolthouse Investments and
our Access Persons may purchase or sell securities for themselves that we also recommend for clients.
This includes related securities (such as warrants, options, or futures). Personal trading presents a
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 12
potential conflict of interest, as we may have an incentive to take investment opportunities from clients
for our own benefit, to favor personal trades over client transactions when allocating trades, or to use
the information about the transactions that we intend to make for clients to our personal benefit by
trading ahead of clients. Our policies to address these conflicts include the following:
The client receives the opportunity to act on investment decisions prior to and in preference to
accounts of Bolthouse Investments and our Access Persons.
Bolthouse Investments prohibits trading in a manner that takes personal advantage of price
movements caused by client transactions.
If Bolthouse Investments or an Access Person wishes to purchase or sell the same security as we
recommend or take action to purchase or sell for a client, he or she will not do so until client orders
are filled, except when the transaction meets our de minimis policy described below. As a result of
this policy, it is possible that clients may receive a better or worse price than Bolthouse Investments
or an Access Person for the same security on the same day as a client or one or more days before or
after the client’s transaction.
Subject to the exceptions and the de minimis policy described below, Bolthouse Investments
generally requires Access Persons to obtain preclearance from the Chief Compliance Officer for any
personal transaction (1) in a security currently owned by Bolthouse clients or that the Access Person
is aware is being considered for purchase or sale for Bolthouse clients (unless an exemption is
otherwise available), (2) that involves a purchase of securities in an IPO, both in new issues and
secondary offerings, and (3) that involves a purchase of securities in a Limited Offering.
Buying and selling the same security on the same business day is highly discouraged. In addition,
Access Persons are expected to refrain from trading for short-term profits, and a holding period of
thirty days is imposed on any security purchased in a transaction exempt from preclearance. An
Access Person may request in writing that the Chief Compliance Officer waive the thirty-day holding
period. The Chief Compliance Officer generally grants a waiver if a security is being sold at a loss.
Under certain limited circumstances, the Chief Compliance Officer may make exceptions to the
policies stated above. We maintain records of these trades, including the reasons for any
exceptions.
We require our personnel to report personal securities transactions on a quarterly basis.
Exemptions from Preclearance Requirements. Preclearance is not required for any transaction (1) in any
personal account managed by Bolthouse Investments as to which the Access Person does not have
direct or indirect influence over or control of transactions conducted in the account, (2) involving a
subsequent purchase of securities effected pursuant to an automatic investment plan, (3) in any client
account managed by Bolthouse Investments for which the Access Person serves as trustee but is not a
beneficial owner, (4) involving a security or other financial instrument that is not a reportable security
within the meaning of the Code of Ethics, (5) involving Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), (6) in an account
over which the Access Person has no direct or indirect influence or control, such as an account managed
on a fully discretionary basis by a third-party investment manager, (7) that does not involve volition on
the part of the Access Person, such as an in-the-money option that is automatically exercised by a
broker-dealer, a security that is called away as a result of an exercise of an option, or a security that is
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 13
sold by a broker-dealer, without consultation with the Access Person, to meet a margin call not met by
the Access Person, (8) made by reinvesting cash dividends pursuant to an automatic dividend
reinvestment plan, (9) effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders of a
class of its securities, to the extent that the rights were acquired from the issuer, or (9) involving a bona
fide gift of securities. Donations of securities require preclearance.
De Minimis Policy. In addition to the exceptions for preclearance as noted above, an Access Person is
not required to preclear transactions that meet the following criteria, although he or she is required to
report these transactions in his or her quarterly reports:
Transactions in equity securities of an issuer on a particular day are exempt from preclearance if
(a) the transaction involves less than $50,000, and (b) the issuer of the security has a market
capitalization of over $500 million, and (c) the security trades on a United States national securities
exchange, including but not limited to the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE MKT LLC, or Nasdaq.
Transactions in shares of an ETF on a particular day are exempt from preclearance if (i) the
transaction involves less than $50,000 and (ii) the ETF has an average daily trading volume of over
one million shares.
Transactions in debt securities of an issuer on a particular day are exempt from preclearance if the
transaction involves less than $50,000 in principal amount.
The principle behind these three exemptions is that these transactions generally do not move the
markets or significantly affect clients.
Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
The following items represent situations in which a conflict of interest may exist between the client and
Bolthouse Investments and our Access Persons.
Principal Transactions
Bolthouse Investments or an Access Person may occasionally buy securities from client accounts or sell
securities to client accounts. One advantage of principal transactions is the ability to narrow spreads on
thinly traded positions, potentially receiving more favorable pricing on both sides than the market
currently offers. In addition, there exists an opportunity to reduce transaction costs associated with the
trade; custodians sometimes provide discounted fees when facilitating principal transactions. Finally,
principal transactions may provide greater liquidity for clients than may have existed otherwise.
Potential conflicts that may exist when conducting principal transactions include the incentive to favor
proprietary accounts when establishing pricing or to dispose of underperforming assets from proprietary
portfolios.
Bolthouse Investments recognizes the potential for significant conflicts of interest when acting as a
principal in client transactions. From time to time, Bolthouse Investments may deem it appropriate and
in a client’s best interest for the firm to purchase a security from or sell a security to a client account.
Principal trades are an exception to our normal operating procedures and will only be effected when we
believe that the transaction is of conspicuous advantage to the client in the absence of appropriate and
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 14
comparable alternatives. Specifically, Bolthouse considers a principal transaction only when a client
needs to sell an illiquid security and Bolthouse has determined that we are able to provide the client
with best execution. In advance of each principal transaction, Bolthouse Investments provides
participating clients with important details of the proposed trade and obtains the client’s written
consent.
Cross Transactions
At this time, Bolthouse Investments does not engage in cross transactions.
ITEM 12—BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Factors Considered in Selecting Broker-Dealers and Custodians
Bolthouse Investments encourages clients to open one or more custodian accounts in their own names
at Schwab. A client will enter into a separate agreement with Schwab to custody his or her assets.
Bolthouse Investments also requires that clients grant us limited power of attorney to execute client
transactions through Schwab. Bolthouse Investments is independently owned and operated. It is
unaffiliated with Schwab or any other broker-dealer or account custodian.
Bolthouse Investments considers several factors in recommending a broker-dealer or custodian to a
client. Factors that Bolthouse Investments may consider may include availability of funds, ease of use,
reputation, service, execution, pricing, and financial strength. Bolthouse Investments may also take into
consideration the availability of the products and services received or offered by Schwab, as described
below.
Research and Other Benefits
Bolthouse Investments has received from broker-dealers and custodians benefits such as sponsored
conferences, related travel expenses, entertainment, and meals. However, Bolthouse does not have any
formal soft dollar arrangements with any broker-dealers.
Bolthouse Investments may receive from particular broker-dealers or custodians, without cost (or at a
discount), support services and products that benefit Bolthouse Investments but may not directly
benefit our clients’ accounts. Schwab makes available products and services that may be used to service
all or some substantial number of our accounts, including accounts not maintained with Schwab.
Schwab makes these products and services available to us on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to us, so
long as Bolthouse Investments maintains a total of at least $10 million of the Funds’ and our clients’
assets in accounts at Schwab.
Schwab makes available products and services that assist Bolthouse Investments in managing and
administering clients’ accounts, including software and other technology that (1) provide access to client
account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), (2) facilitate trade execution and
allocate aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts, (3) provide research, pricing, and other
market data, (4) facilitate payment of our fees from our clients’ accounts, and (5) assist with back-office
functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. Schwab also offers other services intended to help
Bolthouse Investments manage and further develop our business enterprise. These services may
include compliance, legal, and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 15
management and business succession, and access to employee benefits providers, human capital
consultants, and insurance providers.
Schwab may make available, arrange with, and pay third-party vendors for the types of services
provided to Bolthouse Investments. Schwab may discount or waive fees that it would otherwise charge
for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party providing these services to
Bolthouse Investments. Schwab may also provide other benefits, such as educational events or
occasional business entertainment of our personnel.
As part of our fiduciary duty to clients, Bolthouse Investments endeavors at all times to put the interests
of our clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits by
Bolthouse Investments or our personnel in and of itself creates a potential conflict of interest and may
indirectly influence our recommendation of Schwab for custody and brokerage services.
Brokerage for Client Referrals
Bolthouse Investments does not receive client referrals from any broker-dealer or third party in
exchange for using that broker-dealer or third party.
Directed Brokerage Transactions
Bolthouse Investments generally does not allow clients to direct Bolthouse Investments to use a specific
broker-dealer to execute transactions. By encouraging clients to use Schwab, Bolthouse Investments
believes we may be able to manage the client’s portfolio more effectively, to achieve favorable
execution of client transactions, and to lower the costs to the portfolio. Clients who direct Bolthouse
Investments to use another broker-dealer may pay higher commission charges. Under these
circumstances, Bolthouse Investments may not have authority to negotiate commissions or obtain
volume discounts and best execution may not be achieved. When clients direct Bolthouse Investments
to use a specific broker-dealer, disparities in transaction charges may exist when compared to the
transaction costs charged to other clients.
Since we encourage our clients to maintain their accounts with Schwab, clients should consider and
compare the significant differences between having assets custodied at another broker-dealer, bank, or
other custodian prior to opening an account with Schwab. Some of these differences include, but are
not limited to, total account costs, trading freedom, transaction fees, commission rates, and security
and technology services.
Clients with 401(k) retirement plans or annuity accounts are not required to use Schwab and may
appoint a custodian of their choosing.
Aggregation and Allocation of Transactions
Bolthouse and the third party advisors may aggregate purchases and sales of securities for clients during
normal trade activities where two or more clients from the same broker-dealer have the same securities
designated for trading. Trade orders can only be aggregated at each broker-dealer and not combined
between broker-dealers. All accounts that participate in the aggregated order will receive the same
average price. Individual trades or rebalancing trades of single accounts will not be aggregated. If an
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 16
aggregated order is only partially filled, the trades will be allocated on a pro-rata basis at that same
average price for that trading day (typically the next trade date).
ITEM 13—REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Managed Account Reviews
Bolthouse Investments seeks to meet client objectives by monitoring and rebalancing clients’
investment portfolios on a regular basis. Frequency of review is determined by the individual client and
Bolthouse Investments and may be quarterly, semi-annually, annually, or any other chosen interval.
Bolthouse Investments may request more immediate reviews if we determine that special
circumstances or material factors warrant additional attention. The Vice President, Chief Investment
Officer performs all reviews.
For those clients for whom Bolthouse Investments provides financial planning, the plan will be reviewed
upon client request.
Fund Reviews
We supervise Fund investments on a continuous basis and periodically review all positions in the Funds’
accounts.
Review Triggers
Client inquiries, changes in the general market outlook, changes in the tax laws, new investment
information, changes in the financial situation of a client, and changes in the opinions of our investment
professionals on specific issues may prompt periodic reviews of some or all client accounts.
We proactively review all client accounts when significant changes in market conditions or changes in the
tax law occur. A client should notify us promptly upon any important changes in his or her personal or
financial situation or if he or she believes that changes in economic factors may impact his or her financial
position.
Account Reporting
For transactions outside the Funds, each client receives a written statement from the custodian that
includes an accounting of all holdings and transactions in the account for the reporting period. In
addition, Bolthouse Investments provides written reports detailing performance in client accounts on a
quarterly basis. These quarterly reports consolidate information regarding the client’s interests in the
Funds as well. Bolthouse Investments may also provide additional reporting as agreed upon by
Bolthouse Investments and the client on a case-by-case basis.
For those clients for whom Bolthouse Investments provides financial planning, those clients will receive
a report at the completion of each review.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 17
ITEM 14—CLIENT REFERRALS AND OTHER COMPENSATION
We receive an economic benefit from Schwab in the form of the support products and services that it
makes available to us and to other independent investment advisors whose clients maintain their
accounts at Schwab. These products and services, how they benefit us, and the related conflicts of
interest are described in Item 12—Brokerage Practices. We do not base particular investment advice,
such as buying particular securities for our clients, on the availability of Schwab’s products and services
to us.
ITEM 15—CUSTODY
Bolthouse Investments is deemed to have custody of client funds or securities when clients authorize us
to deduct our management fees directly from client accounts. A qualified custodian (generally a broker-
dealer, bank, trust company, or other financial institution) physically holds all client funds and securities.
Clients receive account statements directly from their qualified custodians at least quarterly. The
statements reflect the client’s funds and securities held with the qualified custodian, as well as any
transactions that occurred in the account, including the deduction of our fee.
Clients should carefully review the account statements that they receive from the qualified custodian.
When clients receive statements from Bolthouse Investments as well as from the qualified custodian,
they should compare these two reports carefully. Clients with any questions about their statements
should contact us at the address or phone number on the cover page of this brochure. Clients who do
not receive a statement from their qualified custodian at least quarterly should also notify us.
Bolthouse Investments has custody of the assets of the Funds. As the general partner of and the
investment advisor to the Funds, Bolthouse Investments has the ability to request funds from the
custodian out of the Funds’ accounts. Bolthouse Investments has controls in place, in compliance with
federal rules, to protect investors’ assets in the Funds. A qualified custodian holds the Funds’ assets. In
addition, an independent accountant audits the Funds’ accounts each year, and we send copies of the
audited financial statements to each investor. An independent accountant will also audit the Funds
upon liquidation.
Bolthouse Investments is deemed to have custody of client assets due to certain accounts with third-
party Standing Letters of Authorization (“SLOA”) on file with the custodians, which gives Bolthouse
Investments discretion over the timing, frequency, and amount of the disbursements to third parties.
Although Bolthouse Investments is deemed to have custody due to certain client accounts that have
SLOAs, the firm is exempt from the requirement to have a surprise exam of SLOA accounts. This
exemption is based on the SEC interpretive guidance that states that an exemption is appropriate if the
following 7 conditions exist:
1. The client provides an instruction to the qualified custodian, in writing, that includes the client’s
signature, the third party’s name, and either the third party’s address or the third party’s
account number at a custodian to which the transfer should be directed.
2. The client authorizes the investment adviser, in writing, either on the qualified custodian’s form
or separately, to direct transfers to the third party either on a specified schedule or from time to
time.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 18
3. The client’s qualified custodian performs appropriate verification of the instruction, such as a
signature review or other method to verify the client’s authorization and provides a transfer of
funds notice to the client promptly after each transfer.
4. The client has the ability to terminate or change the instruction to the client’s qualified
custodian.
5. The investment adviser has no authority or ability to designate or change the identity of the
third party, the address, or any other information about the third party contained in the client’s
instruction.
6. The investment adviser maintains records showing that the third party is not a related party of
the investment adviser or located at the same address as the investment adviser.
7. The client’s qualified custodian sends the client, in writing, an initial notice confirming the
instruction and an annual notice reconfirming the instruction.
Because Bolthouse Investments maintains that all the above 7 conditions exist, the firm is exempt from
surprise examination of SLOA accounts.
Bolthouse Investments is deemed to have custody of client assets when a related party of Bolthouse
acts as trustee of the client’s account or when offering bill paying services. In these circumstances,
Bolthouse Investments will arrange to have an independent public account conduct an independent
verification in accordance with rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
ITEM 16—INVESTMENT DISCRETION
As the general partner of and the investment advisor to the Funds, we have full discretion over the
management of the Funds. Bolthouse Investments does not contact Fund investors before placing
trades for the Funds. Investors agree to this discretionary authority when they sign the limited
partnership agreements for the Funds.
For accounts for which Bolthouse Investments does not have discretion, we make investment
recommendations to clients. The client then accepts or rejects our recommendations. Non-
discretionary accounts require the active participation of the client in investment decisions either for the
entire account or for agreed-upon sectors of the account.
ITEM 17—VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
Proxy Voting
Bolthouse has the authority to vote Fund proxies. Generally, however, Bolthouse delegates this
responsibility and authority to the third-party advisors that manage the Funds. In certain circumstances,
clients retain proxy-voting authority or delegate it to a third-party advisor. Bolthouse does not have the
obligation or authority to vote these proxies. Bolthouse will vote residual proxies received where no
other party has been delegated. Clients of Bolthouse may hold securities that are not advised nor
managed by Bolthouse Investments, often referred to as non-managed assets. Bolthouse will refrain
from voting proxies on any non-managed assets.
Bolthouse Investment Management Services
Page 19
Absent special circumstances, we vote all proxies for which we have proxy-voting responsibility within
the guidelines that we describe in our proxy-voting policies and procedures, as we may amend them
from time to time. At any time, clients may contact us to request information about how we voted their
proxies for their securities or to get a copy of our proxy-voting policies and procedures. Following is a
brief summary of our policies and procedures:
We make every effort to ensure that we vote shares in the best interests of clients, seeking to
maximize the value of their investments.
Absent special circumstances, our policy is to exercise our proxy-voting discretion according to
written predetermined proxy-voting guidelines. The guidelines are applicable to the voting of
domestic and international proxies.
For securities purchased for the Funds by third-party advisors, Bolthouse Investments typically
delegates proxy-voting responsibility to the third-party advisor. In these cases, the proxy-voting
policies and procedures of the third-party advisor usually govern proxy voting.
Bolthouse Investments may subscribe to the services of unaffiliated third-party proxy vendors that
provides written vote recommendations or guidelines, proxy voting, and administrative and
recordkeeping assistance.
Clients typically may not direct our vote for a particular proxy when Bolthouse Investments
otherwise has proxy-voting responsibility.
In cases where sole proxy-voting authority rests with Bolthouse Investments for plans governed by
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), Bolthouse Investments votes
proxies in accordance with our proxy-voting guidelines, unless the plan’s governing documents
outline otherwise, subject to the fiduciary responsibility standards of ERISA.
If Bolthouse Investments becomes aware of any type of potential or actual conflict of interest
relating to a proxy proposal, we will promptly document the conflict and may handle the conflict in a
number of ways depending on the type and materiality. The method selected by Bolthouse
Investments will depend upon the facts and circumstances of each situation and the requirements
of applicable laws. We always seek to handle the matter in the client’s best interests.
Bolthouse Investments may choose not to vote proxies in certain situations or for certain accounts.
Examples include (1) if Bolthouse Investments determines that the cost of voting would exceed any
anticipated benefit to the client (such as when a English translation of proxy materials would be
necessary), (2) when a proxy is received for a client account that has been closed because the
investment advisory agreement has terminated, (3) when a proxy is received for a security that the
client account no longer holds, because Bolthouse Investments has sold the security, and (4) when
the exercise of voting rights could restrict the ability of Bolthouse Investments to freely trade the
security as to which the voting is requested.

Class Actions
Bolthouse Investments has hired an independent third party to file claims on behalf of our clients in
order to facilitate their participation in class-action lawsuits. For its services, the third party receives
20% of any settlement amounts actually paid to our clients with respect to such claims.

firm of Clifford & Brown, and is a director, member of the executive committee, and chairman of the
loan committee of Tri Counties Bank. Bolthouse Investments has no business dealings with Tejon Ranch
