Advisory Business Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. (“Cadaret Grant,” “we,” or “us”) was formed in 1985 and is a Delaware corporation. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of AWS 4, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atria Wealth Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is in turn wholly owned by LPL Holdings, Inc., which is owned 100% by LPL Financial Holdings Inc., a publicly held company. Cadaret Grant is registered as a broker-dealer and investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Cadaret Grant is also licensed as an insurance agency in 50 states. Our principal business is providing a full line of services as a registered securities broker-dealer and investment adviser. In our capacity as a broker-dealer, we are involved in the sale of securities of various types including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, alternative investments, unit investment trusts (“UITs”), and variable annuities. We do not sell proprietary products. As of December 31, 2024, Cadaret Grant had regulatory assets under management of $7,671,069,034. Of that amount, $126,965,834 was managed on a non-discretionary basis and $7,544,103,200 was managed on a discretionary basis. Our investment advisory services (“Advisory Services”) are made available to clients through individuals associated with Cadaret Grant as investment adviser representatives (“IARs”). Many IARs are dually licensed (i.e., they are licensed both as IARs and as registered representatives and offer both investment advisory and brokerage services), which, in addition to Advisory Services, allows them to offer commission-based products. Your IAR will disclose to you whether he or she is dually licensed and if there are any limitations on services offered due to registrations and qualifications. IARs are independent contractors of Cadaret Grant. IARs and Cadaret Grant branch offices often use marketing or business names other than Cadaret Grant. The purpose of using a name other than Cadaret Grant is for an IAR to create a brand that is specific to the IAR or branch but separate from Cadaret Grant. IARs who use names other than Cadaret Grant must disclose in their advertising and correspondence materials that securities and advisory services are offered through Cadaret Grant. Our Advisory Services consist of programs sponsored by us, as well as advisory programs available through unaffiliated third-party investment advisers (“TPIA”). Our Advisory Services are designed to accommodate a wide range of investment philosophies and objectives. This allows our IARs to select the programs that they believe are best suited to meet each client’s individual needs and circumstances. We do not hold ourselves out as specializing in a particular type of advisory service. However, some IARs focus on certain types of advisory services over others. IARs, subject to Cadaret Grant's supervision, can develop their own investment philosophies and strategies. Investment philosophies and strategies can differ considerably between and among IARs even with investment philosophies and strategies that carry the same or a substantially similar name. There is no guarantee, stated or implied, that a strategy or client’s investment goals or objectives will be achieved. Clients have access to a wide range of securities products, including common and preferred 5  stocks; municipal, corporate, and government fixed income securities; limited partnerships; mutual funds; exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options, unit investment trusts (“UITs”), direct investment programs; and indexed, registered index-linked, and variable annuity products, as well as a wide range of other products and services including asset allocation services. IARs offer advice on these, and other types of investments based on the individual circumstances of each client. We offer the following advisory programs and services to our clients (“you” or “your”): • Contour Platform • The Investment Management System (“TIMS”) • The Investment Management Systems II (“TIMS II”) • Retirement services • Consulting and financial planning services • Third party investment adviser (“TPIA”) programs Contour Platform (Contour) Cadaret Grant sponsors the Contour Platform (“Contour”), a discretionary investment advisory program that provides IARs access to tools to provide individualized investment management services. We offer non-wrap and wrap fee options through the Contour Program. For more information on the wrap fee option, please see the Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 (“Contour Brochure”) for this program. Contour is administered through an agreement with Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“Envestnet”), an investment adviser registered with the SEC. Cadaret Grant has engaged Envestnet to provide various administrative services to Contour clients as described below. Custody of a client’s Contour account assets is maintained by an unaffiliated custodian designated by the client after consultation with an IAR. Custodial options include Pershing LLC (“Pershing”) and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), and any other custodian we choose to make available (hereinafter referred to as “Custodian”). Each Custodian is responsible for execution and clearing of transactions, custody of assets, and delivery of statements and confirmations for Contour accounts. Neither Envestnet, Pershing nor Schwab is affiliated with Cadaret Grant. Contour is comprised of multiple program options: (1) Advisor as Portfolio Manager (“APM”), (2) Fund Strategist Portfolios (“FSP”), (3) Separately Managed Accounts (“SMA”), and (4) Unified Managed Accounts (“UMA”). Your IAR will confer with you to determine your financial needs and objectives and gather your client profile and risk tolerance information to complete a Statement of Investment Selection (“SIS”). The information gathered from the risk tolerance questionnaire (“RTQ”) or approved financial planning tool assists in determining the allocation of your assets into an asset allocation model fitting one of seven investment profiles: Capital Preservation, Conservative, Conservative Growth, Moderate, Moderate Growth, Growth, or Aggressive. Your IAR will obtain your written consent to change your investment profile risk tolerance. Your IAR will assist you in selecting one of the four program options listed above. Your IAR will create a proposal (“Proposal”) including your investment profile questionnaire responses, selected program option(s), and applicable fees. You, your IAR, and Cadaret Grant will enter into a Contour Platform Account Agreement (“Contour Agreement”) outlining your participation in the Platform. A client opening a Contour account will receive a copy of the Contour Brochure, which contains additional information concerning the Contour Platform, wrap fee programs in general, and a disclosure of fees payable by the client. 6  The Investment Management System (TIMS) TIMS is an advisor as portfolio manager program that offers IARs the ability to implement a fee- based asset management program using a large selection of investments, including no load and load-waived mutual funds, general securities (stocks, bonds, and options), and other investments to help achieve a client's investment objectives, all within one consolidated account. Each IAR has his or her own research techniques and investment strategies that apply to the creation of investment portfolios designed to help achieve a client’s investment goals. Custody of a client’s TIMS account assets are maintained by an unaffiliated custodian designated by the client after consultation with an IAR. Custodial options include Pershing, Schwab, and any other custodian we choose to make available. Each custodian is responsible for execution and clearing of transactions, custody of assets, and delivery of statements and confirmations. Custodians are not affiliated with Cadaret Grant. Transactions are implemented on a discretionary basis with the exception of general securities (stocks, bonds, and options), which are executed on a non-discretionary basis. An IAR will consult with a client before effecting general securities transactions. Transactions for client accounts are executed independently, unless an IAR decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time, in which case an IAR might (but is not obligated to) combine or “batch” orders to obtain the best execution and to equitably allocate among clients the difference in price that might have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. When combined or batched, transaction prices and costs are averaged and allocated among an IAR's clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client's account on any given day. During any month in which there is activity in an account, a client will receive a monthly account statement from the client’s custodian showing account activity and positions held in an account at month-end. A client will receive a confirmation of each transaction. Upon request, a client will be provided with any additional trade information required by SEC Rule 10b-10. Clients also receive a detailed quarterly performance report at the discretion of the IAR and an annual tax reporting statement from the account custodian for taxable accounts and transactions. The TIMS program is currently only available to clients of IARs who had clients using the TIMS program prior to April 1, 2022. The Investment Management System II (TIMS II) TIMS II is an advisor as portfolio manager program that offers IARs the ability to implement a discretionary fee-based asset management program using a broad range of investments including mutual funds, ETFs, publicly and non-publicly traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), unit investment trusts (“UITs”), stocks, bonds, options, and other investments to achieve a client’s investment objectives, within one consolidated account. Each IAR has his or her own research techniques and investment strategies which apply to the creation of investment portfolios designed to help to achieve clients’ investment goals. Custody of a client’s TIMS II account assets is maintained by an unaffiliated custodian designated by the client after consultation with an IAR. Custodial options include Pershing, and any other custodian we choose to make available. Each custodian is responsible for execution and clearing of transactions, custody of assets, and delivery of statements and confirmations for TIMS II accounts. Custodians are not affiliated with Cadaret Grant. Transactions for client accounts are executed independently, unless an IAR decides to purchase 7  or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same time. As noted above, when batched, transactions are averaged by price and allocated among an IAR's clients in proportion to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client's account on any given day. During any month in which there is activity in an account, a client will receive a monthly account statement from the client’s custodian showing account activity and positions in the account at month-end. A client receives a confirmation of each transaction that occurs within the account. Upon request, a client will be provided with any additional trade information required by SEC Rule 10b-10. Clients also receive a detailed quarterly performance report at the discretion of the IAR and an annual tax reporting statement from the account custodian for taxable accounts and transactions. Retirement Services Program Our retirement services program offers an IAR three ways to assist retirement plan sponsors and plan participants with customized investment advisory services, diversified investment menus, consulting and reporting, and participant educational programs. 1. Investment Supervisory Services Cadaret Grant has contracted with unaffiliated third parties Aspire Financial services, LLC (“Aspire”) and FPS Services, LLC, doing business as IPX Retirement (“IPX”) to provide recordkeeping services and third party-administration services for qualified retirement plans. Through these platforms provided by Aspire and IPX, an IAR provides investment advisory service and assists plan sponsors with developing a customized investment plan to fit the needs of individual plan participants. Cadaret Grant and an IAR use various investment options, including mutual funds (including no-load and load-waived mutual funds), ETFs, asset allocation models, or a combination to meet the specific needs of the plan. In addition to the various investment options, plan participants have the ability to engage an approved sub-advisor on a platform for the creation and management of the investments offered to the plan. Each investment plan consists of a diversified mix of investment options to assist plan participants in meeting their individual needs. The mix and weightings of investments is based on the available investment plan options and each plan participant’s risk profile, investment objectives, and individual preferences. Each plan and plan participant has the opportunity to meet with the IAR at periodic educational sessions and the plan has the opportunity to review the assets in the plan periodically with the IAR. The plan and plan participants maintain full and complete ownership rights to all vested assets held within plan accounts. Plan participants have the ability to generate online account statements through a Web site provided by the recordkeeper, or receive account statements from the recordkeeper, showing account activity, positions, and asset values held in the account no less frequently than quarterly. Plan participants can also make changes to their investment allocation on a periodic basis, in accordance with the terms of the respective plan documents. The assets of each plan account are held at a qualified custodian. 2. Fee Based Retirement Plan Services (Retirement Consulting) Plan sponsors can retain an IAR to provide selected discretionary and non-discretionary services for qualified plans. An IAR can provide one or more of the following consulting services: general information on legislative, Department of Labor, and Internal Revenue Service matters of relevance to qualified plans; evaluation and recommendation of service providers, plan design, needs analysis, preparation of plan investment policy statement, performance analysis of investments or 8  investment managers utilized by the plan, monitoring of investments selected by the plan sponsor for style drift and correlation with stated fund investment objectives, enrollment meetings for participants, ongoing investment education for participants regarding plan options, information and education in response to participant inquiries, individual financial and estate planning consultation to plan participants, and plan distribution consulting. Plan assets are held at a qualified custodian. The custodian will designate a broker-dealer of record for plan assets other than Cadaret Grant. If the broker-dealer of record or custodian receives mutual fund sub-transfer agent fees and/or mutual fund 12b-1 fees from investments in the plan, neither the IAR nor Cadaret Grant participate in these fees. Additionally, neither the IAR nor Cadaret Grant maintains responsibility for reviewing and/or monitoring such fees to ensure administrative costs are properly offset. The person(s) signing the retirement plan agreement on behalf of a plan must acknowledge he or she is authorized to do so and is a responsible plan fiduciary as defined in the Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration Section 408b-2 regulation. All recommendations or investment advice provided by an IAR are based upon the information provided by the plan sponsor and/or plan participant as applicable. Cadaret Grant is a “fiduciary” as defined under Section 3(21) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) only to the extent to which Cadaret Grant provides investment advice, as defined by ERISA, to the plan and/or the plan’s participants. Cadaret Grant and the IAR will have no discretionary authority or control with respect to the plan or plan assets except as described in the following paragraph. Unless Cadaret Grant and the IAR are providing discretionary fiduciary services as described below, the plan sponsor and plan participants are solely responsible for implementing any of the IAR’s recommendations with respect to plan assets. IARs will not provide trade execution services with respect to plan assets. Neither Cadaret Grant nor the IAR is a “fiduciary” to the plan under ERISA with respect to services not considered investment advice, as defined by ERISA, including but not limited to investment education, consultation on plan design, and consultation related to evaluation and selection of service providers. The disclosures required by the Department of Labor’s 408b-2 regulation can be found within the firm’s Fee-based Retirement Plan Services Agreement. These disclosures address items such as services, fees, payment notification, manner of payment, indirect compensation, and compensation to affiliates, related enterprises, and subcontractors. In certain circumstances, if agreed among Cadaret Grant, the IAR, and the plan sponsor, Cadaret Grant will act as an “investment manager” as defined under Section 3(38) of ERISA to a plan, and will have the discretion and authority to establish the “line-up” of investment options available to participants under the plan, either (i) within parameters deemed appropriate by Cadaret Grant based on demographic and other data provided by the plan sponsor, or (ii) within certain parameters provided by the plan sponsor. Cadaret Grant and our IARs acknowledge their duty to disclose and adequately address conflicts of interest, which can include an IAR using his or her position as a fiduciary to promote or solicit a plan sponsor to enter into any agreement or otherwise conduct business with an entity or enterprise in which an IAR has a financial interest (“related enterprise”). In the event a plan sponsor enters into an agreement or otherwise conducts business with a related enterprise, the plan sponsor will do so based solely on its knowledge and understanding of the other services available through the related enterprise. 9  3. Fidelity Retirement Investment Advisory Program Cadaret Grant, through our IARs, provides non-discretionary investment advice to retirement plan participants enrolled in qualified retirement plans custodied or administered with Fidelity Investments through the Fidelity Investments Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) Program. In addition to information about a plan sponsor’s investment policies and goals, Cadaret Grant collects information about a plan participant’s financial situation, investment objectives, liquidity needs, income needs, time horizon, risk tolerance, and other relevant personal information. The information collected from the plan sponsor and the plan participant is used by the IAR to make non-discretionary investment recommendations to the plan participant, which may include asset allocation recommendations, investment portfolio construction, investment selection, and other services as agreed to by Cadaret Grant, the IAR, and the plan participant in the Investment Management Agreement. A plan participant has the sole responsibility to decide whether to follow any investment recommendation. Cadaret Grant does not have discretionary authority over a plan participant's account and is not responsible for buying or selling any securities for a plan participant's account. Consulting Services Program Cadaret Grant’s Consulting Services Program (“Consulting Services”) allows an IAR to offer clients financial planning and/or consulting services for a fee. The nature of these services varies based upon an analysis of individual client needs. Areas addressed can include but are not limited to investment portfolio advice; business or estate planning; financial counseling and/or planning; and complex planning services. Complex planning services are either complex in nature and/or will require a significant amount of time to complete. Complex planning services must be outlined in a plan proposal providing a description of agreed upon services. Consulting Services does not include ongoing investment or asset management, asset rebalancing, asset allocation, or the execution of securities transactions. A consulting agreement is not an investment management agreement and does not convey discretion to an IAR or Cadaret Grant. The agreement terminates upon delivery of the services outlined in the agreement or within one year from the date the agreement is executed, whichever comes first. Third Party Investment Adviser (TPIA) Programs Cadaret Grant provides its IARs and clients with access to a number of TPIA programs and platforms for use by IARs that provide clients the opportunity to receive the investment management expertise of a diverse set of advisers that specialize in different asset classes and investment styles and use different portfolio management techniques including asset allocation strategies, mutual fund and ETF models, separately managed account (SMA) programs, unified managed account (UMA) programs, wrap fee services, and other types of managed portfolios such as tax harvesting and tax efficiency strategies, risk management strategies, and dynamic and tactical portfolios. Some programs are more or less aggressive as compared to other programs. Some programs also have higher or lower fees and expenses than other programs. These programs are sponsored by the TPIAs and are offered through co-adviser agreements, solicitor/referral arrangements, and other types of agreements between Cadaret Grant and a TPIA. Many TPIAs sponsor a broad range of investment programs. When acting in a co-advisory capacity, Cadaret Grant and a TPIA are jointly responsible for the ongoing management of your account. Depending on the agreement between Cadaret Grant and a TPIA and based on the information provided by a client, an IAR will refer a client to or assist the client in selecting a TPIA who offers products and services that demonstrate an investment philosophy and 10  style that appear to align with the needs of the client. A client is asked to provide detailed financial and other pertinent data to the IAR. An IAR helps a client determine the client’s risk tolerance, investment goals, and other relevant guidelines. Factors we consider in the selection of a particular TPIA include (a) our assessment of a TPIA, (b) your investment experience, risk tolerance, goals, objectives, and restrictions, and (c) the assets you have available to invest. There is no guarantee that a client’s goals or investment objectives will be achieved by any specific program, please see Item 8 below for additional information on risks of loss. After an IAR assists a client in selecting a suitable TPIA program, client assets are then either invested in the strategy or model or the TPIA begins to allocate the client’s assets in the investment portfolio. The IAR provides initial and continuing education and information regarding the program selected. The IAR will also explain rebalancing guidelines utilized within the program and meet with a client periodically to discuss changes to the client’s financial circumstances. In certain circumstances an IAR acts purely in a solicitor or referral capacity when referring you to a TPIA. Under these arrangements, an IAR assists a client in identifying the client’s objectives and refers the client to a TPIA according to the client’s stated objectives. The client typically enters into an agreement directly with the TPIA and the client’s funds are invested by the TPIA. The IAR monitors the performance of the TPIA and coordinates communication between the client and TPIA. An IAR does not actively participate in the execution of any securities transactions for a client’s TPIA account and does not have authority to determine, without obtaining specific client consent, the securities to be bought or sold, the amount of the securities to be bought or sold, or the broker-dealer to be used for the purchase or sale of securities in the client’s TPIA account. Cadaret Grant and your IAR are compensated for referring you to the TPIA program. This compensation generally takes the form of the TPIA sharing a portion of the advisory fee you pay to the TPIA. When Cadaret Grant acts as a solicitor for a TPIA program, you will receive a written solicitor disclosure statement describing the nature of our relationship with the TPIA program, if any; and the terms of our compensation arrangement with the TPIA program, including a description of the compensation that your IAR and Cadaret Grant will receive for referring you to the TPIA program. For more information, please see Item 14 below. Please consult the applicable TPIA’s agreement for further information, including information on the capacity in which Cadaret Grant acts for a particular program. Clients should refer to a TPIA’s Form ADV Part 2, or equivalent brochure, for a full description of the terms and conditions of their services and fees. TPIAs are subject to our due diligence process for inclusion as a TPIA and are subject to future change from time to time. Please consult your IAR for information regarding available TPIAs. The services of a number of SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, and Model Providers we make available can be accessed through different platforms and programs including programs sponsored by us such as Contour, as well as through TPIAs programs. Your advisory fee will vary depending on the platform or program selected to access the SMA Manager, Sub-Manager, or Model Provider. We have a financial incentive to recommend programs that generate more fees to us. Most TPIA programs, as well as our sponsored program, Contour, are considered “wrap fee” programs. A wrap fee program is a type of investment program that provides clients with asset management and brokerage services for one all-inclusive fee. If you participate in our wrap fee programs, you will pay our firm a single fee, which includes money management fees, certain transaction costs, and certain custodial and administrative costs. Clients should refer to the client agreement, fee schedule, and TPIA brochure for their program for details on what the wrap fee covers. 11  The total fees you pay to access a particular SMA Manager, Sub-Manager, or Model Provider through the Contour platform can be more or less than the combined fees charged by the TPIA, Cadaret Grant, and your IAR for a TPIA program that offers the same SMA Manager, Sub- Manager, or Model Provider through a co-advisory relationship. You should consider the aggregate fees charged on a particular platform and the services available when choosing a platform and investment manager and discuss with your IAR the platform and program pricing relative to a specific TPIA, SMA Manager, Sub-Manager, or Model Provider for additional details. TPIAs have differing minimum account requirements and a variety of fee ranges. All securities are selected, and transactions are executed by the third-party money manager. Your IAR will contact you periodically to review your financial situation, objectives, and restrictions and communicate information to the TPIA; and assist you in understanding and evaluating the services provided by the money manager. Each TPIA maintains its own separate execution, clearing, and custodial relationships. Cadaret Grant and the IAR share in a portion of the fee paid to the TPIA for its services. Since the TPIA services provided by each sponsor are unique, clients should request and carefully review the applicable disclosure brochure, client agreement, and other account paperwork for each TPIA for more detailed information about the services provided by a TPIA, including without limitation, a description of the TPIA’s background, investment strategies, fees, custody arrangements, conflicts of interest, and other relevant information regarding the TPIA’s services and business practices. Clients may obtain a copy of a TPIA’s disclosure brochure from their IAR or by visiting www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. A complete list of TPIAs available through Cadaret Grant is available upon request. Retirement Accounts When we and our IARs (i) provide investment advice to participants in or the fiduciaries of ERISA- covered retirement plans and to owners of IRAs, or (ii) recommend to participants in ERISA- covered retirement plans or owners of IRAs to make a rollover to an IRA, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Fiduciary status for this purpose does not necessarily mean we are acting as fiduciaries for purposes of other applicable laws. This acknowledgement of fiduciary status does not confer contractual rights or obligations on you, the firm, or the IAR. Regulations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code define fiduciary investment advice as (1) advice or recommendations, for a fee or other compensation, regarding investing in, purchasing, or selling securities or other property to a plan, plan participant, or IRA owner; (2) provided on a regular basis; (3) where the advice is provided pursuant to a mutual agreement or understanding that; (4) the advice serves as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to the plan or IRA assets; and (5) the advice is individualized to the plan, plan participant or IRA owner. IRA Rollover Considerations If you decide to roll assets out of a retirement plan into a Cadaret Grant advisory individual retirement account (“IRA”), Cadaret Grant and your IAR have a financial incentive to recommend that you invest those assets in one of our programs, because Cadaret Grant and your IAR will be paid on those assets, for example, through advisory fees. You should be aware that such fees likely will be higher than those you pay through your plan, and there can be custodial and other maintenance fees. 12  The following fiduciary acknowledgement applies only when our IAR (i) provides investment advice to participants in or the fiduciaries of ERISA-covered retirement plans and to owners of IRAs, and (ii) recommends to participants in ERISA-covered retirement plans or owners of IRAs to make a rollover to an IRA. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or IRA, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Fiduciary status for this purpose does not necessarily mean we are acting as fiduciaries for purposes of other applicable laws. This acknowledgement of fiduciary status does not confer contractual rights or obligations on you, Cadaret Grant, or the IAR. General Disclosure Regarding ERISA and Qualified Accounts If an advisory account is a retirement account subject to the provisions of Title I of ERISA or section 4975(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, we and our IARs who act as a fiduciary by providing investment advice for such retirement accounts (“Qualified Account”) are generally prohibited from receiving both an advisory fee and any transaction-based compensation unless in compliance with applicable prohibited transaction exemptions under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code or authorized by the U.S. Department of Labor. When you open a Qualified Account, you will (a) represent that the Qualified Account and any instructions given by you regarding the Qualified Account are consistent with applicable plan documents, including any investment policies, guidelines, or restrictions; (b) provide us with a copy of all relevant documents and agree that the advisory program you have selected is consistent with those documents; and(c) agree to notify us, promptly in writing, of any changes to any of the plan’s investment policies, guidelines, or restrictions, or other plan documents pertaining to investments by the plan. If the assets in the Qualified Account constitute only a part of your plan assets, you will provide us with documentation of any of the plan’s investment guidelines or policies that affect the Qualified Account. Whether any recommendation or investment your IAR makes for the Qualified Account complies with any such investment guidelines, policies, or restrictions will be determined on the date of the recommendation or purchase. You have the responsibility to give us prompt written notice if any investments made for the Qualified Account are inconsistent with such guidelines, policies, restrictions, or instructions. You understand that the services that we perform have no effect on the assets of the plan that are not in the Qualified Account, and that we have no responsibility for such other assets. We are not responsible for plan administration or for performing any other duties that are not expressly set forth in the advisory agreement. You will obtain and maintain at your own expense any insurance or bonds you deem necessary to cover yourself and any of your affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents in connection with the Qualified Account. Item 5 - Fees and Compensation This section provides information concerning fees and compensation for investment advisory services and programs available through Cadaret Grant. Additional information regarding fees and compensation for the Contour Program wrap fee offering offered by Cadaret Grant can be found in the Contour Brochure. Cadaret Grant and our IARs are compensated for our services by charging an advisory fee. Advisory fees are typically calculated as a percentage of assets under management. Fees vary 13  based on the type of advisory service provided to a client. The actual fee is disclosed prior to the client signing the agreement. The advisory fee is shared between your IAR and Cadaret Grant. Although platform fees and third-party money manager fees are generally non-negotiable, your IAR can negotiate his or her advisory fee. Specific program fees are discussed below. The fee charged can be higher or lower than a program’s listed fees depending on a client’s unique circumstances. The fee charged by Cadaret Grant is established in the client’s written agreement with Cadaret Grant. Depending on the program selected, fees will be billed on a monthly or quarterly basis in advance or arrears. All fees are specified in the client agreement, which typically authorizes the custodian to directly deduct the advisory fees from a client’s account. Certain advisory programs offer the ability to “household” eligible accounts for a lower fee- schedule. Householding involves aggregating your accounts for fee calculation purposes, which can help you qualify for a lower fee. A household is generally a group of accounts having the same address of record or same Social Security number. Households are established through the IAR and must be requested by the client. Neither Cadaret Grant nor our IARs are responsible for identifying eligible accounts. A client is responsible for determining if they have eligible accounts and ensuring those accounts remain eligible. Cadaret Grant and our IARs earn higher fees if clients elect not to household eligible accounts where available. Clients should discuss the program fee and any potential fee reduction available through householding with their IAR. investments and withdrawals, and mutual Advisory fees are charged to clients of Cadaret Grant’s various advisory platforms in exchange for account management, investment advice, consultation, and other advisory services offered under the platforms. Advisory fees are separate and distinct from fees and charges imposed on clients by custodians, brokers (including Cadaret Grant), TPIAs, and other third parties, such as fees charged by managers, transaction fees, custodial maintenance fees, fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions, and underlying mutual fund fees and expenses paid to mutual funds and other investment product companies. Some common transactions that include associated processing fees and charges include trading, transfers, distribution of funds, systematic fund exchanges. Many different circumstances can cause fees and charges to vary account by account. Some of these circumstances include the type of security being traded and dollar amount and/or share quantity of the trade. Custodial fees vary between custodians and the type of account. For instance, some types of retirement accounts carry higher custodial maintenance fees than others. Clients are charged fees for specific account services within a TIMS, TIMS II, or Contour account, including for: outgoing transfers, wired funds, stop payments, direct registration of securities, paper statements and confirms, margin extensions, ticket charges, and IRA maintenance and termination. See “Other Fees and Expenses” below. The costs associated with an advisory account may be more than the costs associated with a traditional brokerage account arrangement where a client pays a commission for each transaction but does not receive ongoing advice, this is particularly true for clients that intend to have a low number of transactions or follow a buy-and-hold approach. If you intend to follow a buy-and-hold investment strategy or do not wish to receive ongoing investment advice or management services, you should consider opening a commission-based brokerage account rather than an advisory account. In advisory accounts, a client is paying for ongoing investment advice from an IAR. An IAR recommending an advisory account to a client receives a portion of the advisory fee as a result of the client’s participation in an advisory program. In some circumstances, this compensation will be 14  more than what the IAR would receive if the client had a brokerage account through Cadaret Grant. If compensation would be more in recommending an advisory account than a brokerage account, an IAR has a financial incentive to recommend advisory programs or services over brokerage programs or services. Notwithstanding that conflict of interest, Cadaret Grant and our IARs take their responsibility to clients seriously and will recommend an advisory program or service to a client only if it is reasonably believed to be in the client’s best interest. The amount of compensation an IAR can receive varies between advisory programs and services, therefore, an IAR has a financial incentive to recommend an advisory program or service that permits the IAR to charge higher compensation over another advisory program or service where the IAR’s level of compensation is less. Recommendations for specific advisory programs or services are made based on an IARs best judgment based on the information a client provides to the IAR. In most circumstances, IARs are also registered representatives with Cadaret Grant and, as such, may act in a broker-dealer capacity. In such capacity, an IAR may sell securities through Cadaret Grant and receive normal and customary commissions as a result of purchases and sales as well as 12b-1 fees from mutual funds held in client accounts. If an IAR recommends that a client invest in a security, which results in a commission being paid to the IAR in his or her capacity as a registered representative, and then recommends the security be moved to an advisory account, this represents a conflict of interest. Cadaret Grant conducts reviews of IAR commissions and advisory fees in an effort to ensure suitability for source of funds for new advisory deposits. Contour Platform Fees The Contour Program is offered as either an account with separate advisory fees and transaction charges (“Non-Wrap Fee”), or as an account where no separate transaction charges apply, and a single fee is paid for all advisory services and transactions (“Wrap Fee”). The Contour APM program is offered under both Wrap and Non-Wrap Fee arrangements. The FSP, SMA, and UMA Programs are only offered under Wrap Fee arrangements. If you select the Wrap Fee option, you will pay a single account fee that is inclusive of ticket charges for the purchase and sale of securities. Please see the Contour Brochure for more information on the Wrap Fee. Please consider that depending upon the level of the account fee charged, the amount of portfolio activity in your account, the value of services that are provided under the program, and other factors, the account fee may or may not exceed the aggregate cost of such services if they were to be provided separately. Our policy and procedures are designed to ensure our IARs recommend Wrap Fee advisory accounts only for actively managed accounts. The Wrap Fee option offers a bundled charge that is inclusive of transactional (i.e., trading) costs and is meant to be utilized by investors who have an intention to actively trade their account. A Non-Wrap Fee account is generally more cost-effective for you if you do not intend to actively trade your account. While there is no precise determinant for an actively traded account, if you are engaging in a small number of transactions per year, you should discuss in detail with your IAR if a wrap-account is appropriate for your needs. The fees for participation in Contour are based on an annual percentage of your platform assets. The Total Fee is comprised of three components: (a) a Program Fee, (b) an Advisory Fee, and (c) if applicable, a Manager(s) Fee. The Manager Fee applies in the FSP, SMA, and UMA programs, but no manager fee is included in the APM program. The Program Fee includes execution, clearing, custody, and Cadaret Grant, Envestnet, and Custodian fees for Wrap Fee accounts when applicable. The Program Fee is assessed in each 15  of the program options and is non- negotiable. A discounted Program Fee is available for certain IARs that meet the qualifications. The discount will be based upon the aggregated assets under management from all clients your IAR and their branch office maintains in all Cadaret Grant sponsored advisory programs. The discount ranges can be a partial or full reduction of the Program Fee. If your IAR receives a discounted Program Fee, your IAR’s compensation will increase or decrease by the amount of the discount received, but your Total Fee and cost will remain unchanged. The Advisory Fee compensates your IAR for assisting in the design, implementation, and ongoing monitoring of your investment plan. The Advisory Fee is negotiated between you and your IAR but will not exceed 2.25% in APM and 2.00% in FSP, SMA and UMA, except in connection with annuity subaccount management in APM, the Advisory Fee will not exceed 1%. The Advisory Fee charged depends upon a number of factors including the amount of the assets under management, the nature and extent of other account relationships between you and your IAR, the nature and complexity of the model portfolios, and other factors that the IAR deems relevant. The Advisory Fee you negotiate will be different than the fees your IAR negotiates with other clients or the fees other IARs negotiate with other clients for similar services. Manager Fees apply in the FSP, SMA, and UMA. The Manager Fee in the SMA and UMA varies by the selected SMA Manager, Sub-Manager or Model Provider and ranges between 0.00% and 0.75% of your Platform assets. In the UMA, if your account has more than one Model Provider or Sub-Manager, the effective Manager Fee will be a blend of all Model Providers’ and/or Sub- Managers’ fees weighted by the dollar amount invested in each Model Portfolio. SMA Managers or Model Providers who charge no, or a nominal fee are typically compensated by advisory fees from the propriety funds the SMA Managers or Model Providers include in their models. In the FSP, the Manager Fee ranges from 0% to 0.50% depending on the portfolio selected. Manager Fees are non-negotiable. The Total Fee is billed and collected monthly or quarterly in advance as noted on the SIS. For accounts billed quarterly, the total fee is calculated at the beginning of each calendar quarter based on the fair market value of your platform assets, including money market funds, interest, and reinvested dividends in the account, on the last business day of the prior calendar quarter. For accounts billed monthly, the Total Fee is calculated at the beginning of each month based on the fair market value of your platform assets, including money market funds, interest, and reinvested dividends in the account, on the last business day of the prior calendar month. The Custodian determines fair market value for fee calculation purposes. Fees are automatically deducted from your account, or from another billable account as directed by you. The first payment is prorated based on the number of calendar days in the billing period. If you invest or withdraw $10,000 or more in the account after the first day of a billing period, a prorated fee or rebate is calculated on each eligible deposit or withdrawal with adjustments applied the subsequent month. If an account is terminated prior to the end of a billing period, a pro rata portion of the total fee will be reimbursed to you. The fees deducted, including the dates and amounts, are reflected on the statements sent by Custodian. You should review those statements and the fees deducted. Any questions on the fees deducted from your account should be directed to your IAR, or you may contact us at the number on the cover page of this Brochure. An additional charge of up to 10 basis points (0.10%) will be added to your program fee if you elect certain tax management services, ESG or socially responsible screening, or other portfolio customization described in the SIS. This charge is paid to the investment manager or the “overlay manager” that applies the tax screening to your investments. 16  APM Fee Schedule (Wrap Fee Option) Total Fee = Advisory Fee + Program Fee Platform Assets APM Program Fee Maximum Allowable Advisory Fee* 0.20% First $250,000 2.25% 0.17% Next $250,000 2.25% 0.15% Next $250,000 2.25% 0.13% Next $250,000 2.25% 0.10% Next $1,000,000 2.00% Next $3,000,000 1.75% 0.090% Assets above 1.50% 0.070% $5,000,000 * The maximum allowable advisory fee for annuity subaccount management in APM is 1%.

Transaction Charges for Contour Non-Wrap Accounts In addition to the asset management fees noted above you will pay transaction charges for all trades effected in a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account. We markup the transaction charges that Pershing charges us for Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM accounts custodied with Pershing, which is a source of additional revenue for Cadaret Grant. Although there are a number of factors considered in determining which custodian to use, the transaction charges associated with trades in a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account custodied at Pershing are higher than the transaction charges for a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account custodied at Schwab. The more transactions a client enters into, the more compensation we receive. This represents a conflict of interest due to the fact that we have a financial incentive to establish Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM accounts with Pershing rather than Schwab because of the additional revenue we receive. This revenue, however, is retained by Cadaret Grant and is not shared with your IAR, so your IAR does not have a financial incentive to recommend you open a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account custodied with Pershing rather than Schwab or engage in frequent transactions. Please refer to the Fee Schedule published in the disclosure section of our website at cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/ for a detailed schedule of transaction fees and other brokerage costs as well as for a better understanding of where we receive additional compensation. Certain no-load or load at net asset value (“NAV”) mutual funds are available for purchase, sale, or exchange without incurring transaction costs. These funds are offered through the Custodian’s no transaction fee programs. Certain exchange-traded funds are also available through the Custodian’s no transaction fee programs.

TIMS and TIMS II Fees The maximum annual asset management fee that may be charged for TIMS and TIMS II is 2.20% in addition to an account administrative fee of $25 per quarter for accounts with less than $100,000. Based on the fee schedule chosen, fees are billed in advance of each calendar month or quarter based on the value of the account at the close of business on the last business day of the ending month or quarter, and if applicable, an administrative fee. Initial fees for new accounts are calculated on a pro-rata basis for the remainder of the initial month or quarter based on business days. Cadaret Grant sends a monthly or quarterly billing invoice to the client and the custodian setting forth the fee due in advance for that month or quarter and the manner in which the fee is calculated. A client authorizes payment of the fee directly to Cadaret Grant from the account upon presentation of this invoice. To pay the fee, funds will be deducted from the account and, if necessary, from liquidating holdings in the following order: cash positions, money market funds, or current positions in the account. Cadaret Grant will review and evaluate, on a case by case basis, requests from clients to receive an invoice and pay their fee directly rather than from their accounts. An IAR has the discretion to discount fees. Custody and clearing services are provided by Pershing and Schwab for TIMS and Pershing for TIMS II. Cadaret Grant reserves the right to designate, from time to time, other clearing and custody arrangements. Custody of funds and securities is maintained by the clearing firms and not by Cadaret Grant. In addition to the asset management fees noted above you will pay transaction charges for all trades effected in a TIMS or TIMS II account. We markup the transaction charges that Pershing charges us for TIMS and TIMS II accounts custodied with Pershing, which is a source of additional revenue for Cadaret Grant. Although there are a number of factors considered in determining which custodian to use, there are scenarios where the transaction charges associated with trades in a TIMS account custodied at Pershing are higher than the transaction charges for a TIMS account custodied at Schwab. The more transactions a client enters into, the more compensation we receive. This represents a conflict of interest due to the fact that we have a financial incentive to establish TIMS and TIMS II accounts with Pershing rather than Schwab because of the additional revenue we receive. This revenue, however, is retained by Cadaret Grant and is not shared with your IAR, so your IAR does not have a financial incentive to recommend you open a TIMS or TIMS II account custodied with Pershing rather than Schwab or engage in frequent transactions. Please refer to the Account Fees published in the disclosure section of our website for a detailed 19  schedule of transaction fees and other brokerage costs as well as for a better understanding of where we receive additional compensation (cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/). Cadaret Grant charges IARs platform fees to participate in TIMS and TIMS II. The platform fees are tiered based on account size and the aggregate amount of assets a branch office has in TIMS or TIMS II with a particular custodian. The platform fees for TIMS II are higher than for TIMS for accounts custodied at Pershing and the platform fees for TIMS accounts custodied at Schwab are higher than TIMS and TIMS II accounts custodied at Pershing. An IAR has an incentive to utilize a program where the IAR is charged a lower platform fee because the IAR’s compensation increases by the amount of the platform fee saved. When considering whether to open a TIMS or TIMS II account at Pershing or a TIMS account at Schwab, a client should understand that the platform cost to an IAR for each platform may be a factor the IAR considers when recommending a particular platform or custodian. When negotiating the advisory fee with your IAR, your IAR may choose to pay the transaction fees associated with your TIMS or TIMS II account for you. This decision to pay transaction fees on your behalf may be based on a variety of factors such as the level of trading in your account, the size of your account, and your overall relationship with the IAR. You should discuss fees you will pay with your IAR to make an informed decision regarding the fees you will pay for the services provided. An advisory agreement can be terminated for any reason by either a client or Cadaret Grant effective upon receipt of written notice of such termination by the parties. A client will receive a prorated refund of any unearned, pre-paid monthly or quarterly account fees based upon the number of business days remaining in the month or quarter after the termination date. Other Fees and Expenses In addition to your advisory fee and transactions charges, you will pay individual retirement account (IRA) annual maintenance fees and tax-qualified retirement plan trustee fees, certain custodial fees, and other ancillary charges within a TIMS, TIMS II, or Contour account, as applicable. You should expect to be charged for specific account services, such as account transfer fees, wire transfer charges, checking fees, paper statements and confirmations, and for other optional services elected by you on a per event basis. These fees are subject to the pricing schedule set by a Custodian and Cadaret Grant. Cadaret Grant receives a portion of certain of these fees for accounts in custody with Pershing, including where Cadaret Grant marks up the fee charged by Pershing, which can be substantial. Please review Item 12 – Brokerage Practices of this Brochure for additional information. Our receipt of custodial fees, including where we markup a fee, creates a conflict of interest for Cadaret Grant because the fees constitute additional revenue to us. To mitigate this conflict, we do not share custodial fee revenues with your IAR, and we do not require or incentivize IARs to recommend advisory programs be custodied with any custodian. Brokerage and other transaction costs and certain administrative fees incurred in Contour FSP, SMA, UMA, and APM Wrap Fee accounts are included in the program fee except as described within the Contour Brochure. Brokerage and other transaction costs incurred in Contour APM Non-Wrap Fee accounts are not included in the program fee as described above. Please refer to the Account Fee Schedule published in the disclosure section of our website for a detailed schedule of transaction fees and other brokerage costs (cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/) for a better understanding of where we receive additional compensation. 20  You can elect to receive communications and documents from your account Custodian, including confirmations and statements, electronically by authorizing electronic delivery in writing. Unless you authorize electronic delivery, if Pershing delivers communications and documents to you via U.S. mail a paper delivery surcharge is assessed. Interest on all cash account delinquencies (Cash Due Interest) in a client account is charged directly to your account at the then current rate. Transfer agent servicing fees, if any, are passed through to you and can vary based upon the transfer agent and position. For Contour accounts in custody with Pershing, a $10 mutual fund surcharge applies to purchases and redemptions of certain mutual funds that do not otherwise compensate Pershing for administration and operational accounting related to fund ownership. Neither Cadaret Grant nor your IAR retain any portion of the mutual fund surcharge. A list of applicable funds is available upon request. Additional Fees for Collective Investment Vehicles For accounts that contain collective investment vehicles (“Collective Investment Vehicles”), such as mutual funds, closed-end funds, UITs, ETFs, annuities, structured products, or publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs), each Collective Investment Vehicle bears its own internal fees and expenses, such as fund operating expenses, management fees, deferred sales charges, redemption fees, other fees and expenses or other regulatory fees, charges assessed by annuity issuers such as contract charges, contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, optional rider fees, subaccount management fees and administrative expenses, short-term trading fees, redemption fees, and other fees imposed by law. Collective Investment Vehicle fees and expenses are disclosed in the applicable prospectus, statement of additional information, or product description. None of these fees are shared with Cadaret Grant or your IAR. This compensation is in addition to any advisory fee, resulting in increased costs to you. Some mutual funds assess redemption fees to investors upon the short-term sale of its funds. Depending on the particular mutual fund, this can include sales for rebalancing purposes. Please see the prospectus for the specific mutual fund for detailed information regarding such fees. In addition, you can incur redemption fees, when a portfolio manager to an investment strategy determines that it is in your overall interest, in conjunction with the stated goals of the investment strategy, to divest from certain Collective Investment Vehicles prior to the expiration of the collective investment vehicle’s minimum holding period. Depending on the length of the redemption period, the particular investment strategy, and/or market conditions, a portfolio manager may be able to minimize any redemption fees when, in the portfolio manager’s discretion, it is reasonable to allow you to remain invested in a Collective Investment Vehicle until expiration of the minimum holding period. Compensation Related to Mutual Funds and Other Investments Your IAR, when acting in his/her separate capacity as a Cadaret Grant registered representative (i.e., as a broker) earns commissions, including asset-based fees and sales charges, from the sale of mutual funds, annuities, ETFs, and other securities. This results in a conflict of interest because Cadaret Grant and our IARs have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than on a client’s needs. You are under no obligation to purchase investment products through Cadaret Grant or your IAR and you have the option to purchase the products we recommend through other financial services firms that are not affiliated with us. 21  After considering your overall needs and objectives along with your preferences, your IAR can recommend that you convert from a commission-based account to a fee-based advisory account. We maintain policies and procedures to ensure a conversion from a commission-based account to fee-based advisory account is in your best interest. Among other things, we employ the following policies: • When Class A, B, or C shares of mutual funds are transferred into an advisory account, additional mutual fund purchases within the advisory account will be made at net asset value (NAV) or in adviser or institutional share classes, which do not include 12b-1 fees. Such purchases will not result in your payment of a commission in addition to the annual advisory fee. • Cadaret Grant will attempt to convert Class A, B, and C share mutual fund holdings in an advisory account to adviser or institutional class shares where available. In the event a tax-free conversion is unavailable or does not occur, 12b-1 fees received in fee-based accounts will be credited to your account. • If your Contour account is funded with a deposit of one or more open end mutual funds, UITs, or proceeds from the sale of open-end mutual funds or UITs, where Cadaret Grant was paid a sales charge in its capacity as a broker-dealer within one year of the initial billing date, you are entitled to a fee offset. The mutual fund fee offset varies depending on whether the mutual fund was subject to a front-end or a back-end sales charge. For mutual funds subject to a front-end sales charge, the fee offset is calculated using the number of shares multiplied by the closing price of the security on the day prior to the initial billing date multiplied by the annual advisory fee. For mutual funds subject to a back-end sales charge, the fee offset is equal to the amount of the back-end sales charge incurred: (1) upon liquidation of a mutual fund in the account; or (2) upon liquidation of a mutual fund within 60-days prior to the date the proceeds are transferred into the account. The unit investment trust fee offset is calculated in the same manner as the front-end load mutual fund fee offset. • Your IAR can agree, upon your written request and for your convenience, to hold certain assets in your Contour account such as previously acquired concentrated positions in a stock or bond that you wish to hold for an unspecified period of time. Such assets are unmanaged, unmonitored, and are excluded from billing. • Your IAR can agree, at your request, to hold certain assets in an advisory account such as previously acquired concentrated positions in a stock or bond, that you wish to liquidate over a period of time or hold to maturity. Such assets are being monitored but are excluded from billing. Mutual funds generally offer multiple share classes available for investment based upon certain eligibility and/or purchase requirements. For instance, in addition to retail share classes (typically referred to as class A, B, and C shares), mutual funds can also offer institutional share classes or other share classes that are specifically designed for purchase by investors who meet certain specified eligibility criteria, including, for example, whether an account meets certain minimum dollar amount thresholds or is enrolled in an eligible fee-based investment advisory program. Institutional share classes usually have a lower expense ratio than other share classes. Cadaret Grant and our IARs have a financial incentive to recommend or select share classes that have higher expense ratios because such share classes generally result in higher compensation. Cadaret Grant seeks 22  to minimize this conflict of interest, by providing our IARs with training and guidance on this issue, as well as by conducting periodic reviews of client holdings in mutual fund investments to ensure the appropriateness of mutual fund share class selections and whether alternative mutual fund share class selections are available that might be more appropriate given a client’s particular investment objectives and any other appropriate considerations relevant to mutual fund share class selection. Regardless of such considerations, clients should not assume that they will be invested in the share class with the lowest possible expense ratio. The appropriateness of a particular mutual fund share class selection is dependent upon a number of considerations, including: the asset-based advisory fee that is charged, whether transaction charges are applied to the purchase or sale of mutual funds, the overall cost structure of the advisory program, operational considerations associated with accessing or offering particular share classes (including the presence of selling agreements with the mutual fund sponsors and Cadaret Grant’s ability to access particular share classes through the custodian), share class eligibility requirements, and the revenue sharing, distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees, or other compensation associated with offering a particular class of shares. Further information regarding fees and charges assessed by a mutual fund is available in the mutual fund prospectus. Wrap Fee Program versus Non-Wrap Fee Program We offer asset management services through both Wrap Fee and Non-Wrap Fee programs. Wrap Fee Programs A wrap fee program is defined as an advisory program in which a client pays a single, specified fee for portfolio management services and trade execution. We receive a portion of the investment advisory fee you pay when you participate in any of the wrap fee programs we offer. Wrap fee programs are not suitable for all investments needs and any decision to participate in a wrap fee program should be based on your financial situation, investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and investment time horizon. The benefit of a wrap fee program depends, in part, upon the size of an account, the types of securities in the account, and the expected size and number of transactions likely to be generated. Generally, wrap fee accounts are less expensive for actively traded accounts. For accounts with little or no trading activity, a wrap fee program may not be suitable because the wrap fee could be higher than fees in a traditional brokerage or non-wrap fee advisory account where you pay a fee for advisory services plus a commission or transaction charges foreach transaction in the account. You should evaluate the total cost for a wrap fee account against the cost of participating in another program or account. Non-Wrap Fee Programs Wrap fee programs differ from other programs in that the fee structure for wrap programs is all- inclusive, whereas non-wrap fee programs, such as Contour APM Non-Wrap, TIMS and TIMS II, assess trade execution costs that are in addition to the investment advisory fees. In Contour APM Non-Wrap, TIMS and TIMS II there are two separate types of fees. We charge an investment advisory fee for our advisory services and another fee (“ticket charge”) is charged for each transaction (purchase, sale, or exchange) for accounts held at Pershing or Schwab. Cadaret Grant has a conflict of interest in offering non-wrap accounts custodied through Pershing due to the receipt of additional transaction-based ticket charge revenue received by us in our capacity as a broker-dealer. 23  Cadaret Grant maintains policies and procedures to ensure the recommendation of a specific account type is reasonably believed to be in your best interest. There is no guarantee that the Advisory Services offered will result in your goals and objectives being met. Nor is there any guarantee of profit or protection from loss. No assumption can be made that an advisory fee arrangement or portfolio management service of any nature will provide a better return than other investment vehicles. Advisory programs are not suitable for all investment needs, and any decision to participate in a wrap fee or non-wrap fee program should be based on your financial situation, investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and investment time horizon, among other considerations. You should evaluate the total cost for participating in a particular advisory program in consultation with your IAR. Retirement Services Program - Investment Advisory Services The maximum annual asset fee charged for retirement services is 2.20%. Fees are billed in advance of each calendar quarter based on the value of the account on the last business day of the quarter, and if applicable, an administrative fee can be charged. An IAR has the discretion to discount fees. Advisory fees are separate and distinct from other fees that might apply, including transaction fees, underlying mutual fund fees and expenses paid to the fund by shareholders of a mutual fund as outlined in each fund’s prospectus, and custodian fees. IARs do not participate in administrative fees. A client is entitled to a prorated refund of any unearned, pre-paid account fees based upon the number of days remaining in the quarter after the termination date. Retirement Services Program - Fidelity Investments Retirement Investment Advisory Program Fees are negotiable and the IAR has discretion to discount fees. Advisory fees are billed in arrears as disclosed in the Investment Management Agreement. The maximum annual asset fee charged is 1.00%. A portion of the fee paid by a plan participant is paid to Cadaret Grant for its administrative services, with the remainder of the fee paid to the IAR. Fees are based on several factors, including, but not limited to time and labor, complexity of the services provided, and special circumstances involved, and the qualifications or expertise of the IAR. Advisory fees are separate and distinct from other fees that might apply, including transaction fees, underlying mutual fund fees and expenses paid to the mutual fund, and custodian fees. The Investment Management Agreement between Cadaret Grant, the IAR, and the plan participant can be terminated for any reason by the plan participant or Cadaret Grant effective upon receipt of written notice of such termination by the parties. A client is entitled to a prorated refund of any unearned, pre-paid account fees based upon the number of days remaining in the quarter after the termination date. Custody and clearing services are provided by National Financial Services LLC. Retirement Services Program - Fee Based Retirement Plan Services Fees are billed at the individual IAR’s specific rate schedule. Fees are negotiable. The plan sponsor can elect to have fees payable based on an hourly rate, quarterly flat fee, quarterly fee per participant, annual flat fee, annual fee per participant, or on a quarterly basis as a percentage of plan assets. An IAR cannot charge a fee in an amount more than $1,200 and six months or more in advance. The maximum annual asset fee charged is 2.20%. Fees are generally billed in arrears 24  each calendar quarter based on the value of the account on the last business day of the ending quarter, and if applicable, administrative fees are also billed in arrears. Fees can be billed in advance if agreed upon by the IAR and plan sponsor. If a client pays fees in advance and the advisory agreement is terminated prior to delivery of services, the client should contact his/her IAR, who will in turn contact Cadaret Grant. Hourly fees are generally payable from the plan sponsor upon receipt of an invoice for services provided. Advisory fees are separate and distinct from other fees that might apply, including transaction fees, underlying mutual fund fees and expenses paid to the mutual fund, and custodian fees. IARs do not participate in administrative fees. The agreement can be terminated for any reason by any party effective upon receipt of written notice of such termination by the parties. A client will receive a prorated refund of any unearned, pre-paid account fees based upon the number of days remaining in the quarter after the termination date. Consulting Services Program Compensation for consulting services is structured as a fee that is negotiable at the discretion of your IAR depending upon a number of factors including, the amount of the assets being reviewed, the nature and extent of account relationships between Cadaret Grant and its affiliates with you, the type and complexity of services requested, and other factors that your IAR deems relevant. Fee options include: • Flat fee billing for one-time services, with or without an initial retainer; • Recurring billing for ongoing services with fees collected monthly, quarterly or semi- annually in arrears or in advance; or • Billing at an hourly rate collected upon completion of services. The maximum hourly charge is $500 per hour and the flat rate fee generally ranges from $0 to $20,000. In no event will Cadaret Grant or the IAR collect a fee in advance exceeding $1,200 when services cannot be completed within six (6) months of the effective date of the Consulting Services Agreement. Payment for services is due according to the method and schedule in the Consulting Services Agreement. For services provided for a flat fee, or one-time only services, the Consulting Services Agreement will automatically terminate once the services have been completed by your IAR and you have paid for the services. In the case of recurring payments for ongoing services, the Consulting Services Agreement shall automatically terminate one year from the date of execution. Cadaret Grant, your IAR, or you can, upon written notice to the others, terminate the Consulting Services Agreement. In the event of termination, Cadaret Grant and/or your IAR will decide the amount to be charged to you based upon the time and resources expended. Generally, you will be charged for the portion of work performed and any unearned fees will be refunded. In the event you elect to implement any recommendation made by your IAR acting in your IAR’s capacity as a registered representative of Cadaret Grant, your IAR will receive additional commissions, markups, markdowns, or advisory fees if you choose to purchase a product or open an account with us. Cadaret Grant and your IAR receive compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products sold to you by your IAR following the provision of consulting services, including investment company securities (mutual funds), variable annuity products, or other assets. Additionally, these products have other internal expenses that you pay indirectly through the cost 25  of the fund or product. This compensation is in addition to the consulting fee and will result in increased costs to you. You have the option to purchase investments recommended by your IAR through other brokers or agents who are not affiliated with Cadaret Grant. Third Party Investment Adviser (TPIA) Programs Compensation for TPIA programs is generally provided to Cadaret Grant and an IAR in exchange for introducing clients to a TPIA. Compensation can also be in exchange for the initial and continuing education and information that Cadaret Grant and the IAR provide regarding the TPIA program selected. Compensation is usually a fixed percentage of the fees charged by a TPIA to the clients introduced by Cadaret Grant or the IAR. The fees paid by a client are based on assets under management. Additional fees for other services provided by a TPIA, such as custody and transaction fees, can be charged by a TPIA. Specific information about the services provided and the fees associated with the services is contained in a TPIA’s Form ADV Part 2 or similar disclosure brochure and client agreement. A client should carefully review the TPIA’s Form ADV Part 2 or brochure to fully understand all services to be provided, as well as the fees and expenses that are associated with those services, to determine (1) if compensation is payable before a service is provided; (2) when compensation is payable; (3) how a client can get a refund; (4) what conflicts of interest exist with respect to a client’s participation in the program; (5) how a client can terminate an advisory contract before its expiration date; and (6) if fees are negotiable. TPIAs can impose a minimum dollar value of assets or other conditions for starting or maintaining accounts. Minimum account sizes are determined by the TPIA, not Cadaret Grant. General Information Concerning Fees Fees vary between IARs, and clients can pay more or less than the fees charged by another IAR for similar services. The advisory fee charged can be more or less than what Cadaret Grant and your IAR might earn from other programs available in the financial services industry or if the services were purchased on a commission basis. To this end, you have the option to purchase investment products that your IAR recommends through other financial services firms that are not affiliated with Cadaret Grant. Advisory fees are charged on all mutual fund shares deposited to advisory accounts unless eligible for the fee offset program described in the section entitled Compensation Related to Mutual Funds and Other Investment Products above. This includes shares deposited into an investment advisory account on which a client paid a sales charge. Also, to the extent that cash used for investment in an account comes from redemptions of your other non-managed mutual fund investments, you should consider the cost, if any, of the sales charge(s) previously paid and redemption fees that could be incurred. Such redemption fees would be in addition to the advisory fee on those assets. You should be aware that such redemptions and exchanges between mutual funds within investment advisory accounts typically have tax consequences in nonretirement accounts, which should be discussed with an independent tax advisor. Disclosure to ERISA Plans Cadaret Grant has disclosed in this brochure conflicts of interest, such as receiving additional compensation from third parties for providing marketing and other services in connection with 26  certain products. Cadaret Grant has also developed policies designed to prevent a prohibited transaction under ERISA. For example, please refer to the sub-section titled Fee Based Retirement Plan Services (Retirement Consulting) of Item 4 which explains Cadaret Grant’s policy regarding the affiliated businesses of IARs. Additionally, it is Cadaret Grant’s policy not to influence any IAR’s advice or management of assets based on any compensation that Cadaret Grant or the IAR might receive from a third party. If the custodian of a plan’s account is Pershing and Cadaret Grant receives 12b-1 fees from a mutual fund in which the plan account invests, the 12b-1 fees paid to Cadaret Grant will be credited to the plan’s account monthly or quarterly (depending on the mutual fund). An ERISA plan sponsor is responsible for ensuring Cadaret Grant and IAR have been furnished complete copies of all documents that establish and govern the plan and evidencing a client’s authority to retain Cadaret Grant as an investment adviser. Clients must promptly furnish to Cadaret Grant any amendments to the plan and if any amendment affects the rights or obligations of Cadaret Grant, such amendment will be binding on Cadaret Grant and IAR only when agreed to by Cadaret Grant and IAR in writing. Plan sponsors must maintain appropriate ERISA bonding coverage for their managed account(s) and must include within the coverage of the bond Cadaret Grant, IAR, and their personnel as required by law. Cadaret Grant prohibits our IARs from providing advice to or managing assets for ERISA clients if conflicts of interest exist that Cadaret Grant believes are prohibited by ERISA. The disclosures required by the Department of Labor’s 408b-2 regulation are provided in one of, or a combination of the following documents: account agreements that include the required disclosures; contract addendums; separate written disclosures; and disclosures provided by third parties such as TPIAs. These disclosures address items such as services, fees, payment notification, manner of payment, indirect compensation, and compensation to affiliates, related enterprises, and subcontractors. Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management Advisory fees based upon a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of assets of an advisory client are commonly referred to as “performance-based fees.” Cadaret Grant does not permit IARs to accept performance-based fees. Cadaret Grant does not engage in side-by-side management. Item 7 - Types of Clients Cadaret Grant, through its IARs, offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporations and other business entities. Our clients can have both fee-based advisory accounts and commission-based brokerage accounts. Depending on an IAR’s registrations and qualifications, and a client’s preferences and needs, our IARs provide advisory services, brokerage services, or both. The minimum initial account size for TIMS and TIMS II is $25,000. The minimum account size for these programs can be waived at Cadaret Grant’s discretion. TPIA advisory programs also require minimum investment amounts that vary by program. We do not require a minimum asset amount 27  for the Retirement Services Program or Consulting Services. The initial minimum account size for the Contour programs is listed below. Contour Program Advisor as Portfolio Manager Fund Strategist Portfolios Separately Managed Accounts Unified Managed Accounts Minimum $25,000 As low as $2,000 $100,000 $100,000 The initial Contour account minimum can, however, be waived at Cadaret Grant’s discretion, considering various factors. Such factors include length of client relationship, or combined values of other household/family member accounts. In the SMA program, should the SMA Manager require a higher minimum, the higher minimum will apply. In the UMA program, the minimum account size for each model style is determined by the Model Provider or Sub- Manager. Item 8 - Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss IARs are responsible for determining and implementing investment advice under the supervision of Cadaret Grant. An IAR performs various techniques in analyzing investments for advisory clients which can include, charting, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, cyclical analysis, and dollar cost averaging. There is no guarantee that a client’s investment goals or objectives will be achieved. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. As a result of this inherent risk, Cadaret Grant and our IARs cannot represent, guarantee, or imply that our services and methods of analysis accurately forecast future returns, accurately identify market highs and lows, or protect investors from investment losses as a result of economic downturns and market corrections. All methods of analysis and investment strategies involve some material risks, including the risk of loss. Some of the material risks involved in charting and technical analysis include the potential for a lack of consideration given to the intrinsic value of specific investments. Technical analysis and charting focus primarily on economic factors and market conditions, which can overlook variables specific to a particular investment. Conversely, fundamental analysis generally focuses on more specific variables, such as a public companies financials, sales, earnings, debt, management, and assets. As a result, fundamental analysis includes the risk of not taking into consideration the overall state of the economy and markets. Cyclical analysis is also subject to material risks, which include uncertainty over how long cycles will last, when they will peak and when they will reach a bottom. While much less common and not recommended to most clients, some IARs provide short-term trading as an investment strategy, or as part of, an investment strategy. In general, short-term trading is a strategy that often involves more frequent trading where an IAR will try to identify the best times to be in and out of the market. This service is designed to take advantage of stock market fluctuations by being invested based on the anticipated market direction. Clients should be aware that this strategy is considered an aggressive, higher-risk investment strategy. Only clients that are looking for a speculative investment strategy should participate in a short-term trading strategy offered by an IAR. Investment recommendations made by IARs through Cadaret Grant’s advisory services programs often involve the use of mutual funds. Investing in mutual funds involves material risks, including the risk of loss. One material risk is the cost of sales charges, annual fees, and other expenses 28  impairing fund performance. Another risk is the potential for tax consequences as a result of income and capital gains distributions. Clients can incur taxes on distributions even if a fund performs poorly after shares were purchased. Lack of control is also a risk that you encounter. Clients and IARs typically cannot ascertain the exact make-up of a fund’s portfolio at any given time, nor can they influence the securities a fund manager buys and sells or the timing of those trades. Another risk is price uncertainty. Mutual fund investors face this risk because the price at which shares are purchased and sold is based on a fund’s net asset value, which sometimes is not calculated until many hours after a transaction has already been processed. Clients should read a fund's prospectus and shareholder reports to learn about its investment strategy and risks. For additional information on investing in mutual funds, we recommend the SEC’s Invest Wisely, An Introduction to Mutual Funds, which can be found at: www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/inwsmf.htm#pitfalls. Clients may also elect to purchase structured products within a Contour APM account. Structured products are securities derived from or based on a single security, a basket of securities, an index, a commodity, a debt instrument, and/or a foreign currency. Structured products have a fixed maturity, but typically contain two components – a note or certificate of deposit and a derivative (which may be an option). Structured products are issued by financial institutions, such as banks and broker-dealers, and are senior, unsecured debt of the issuing institution. As such, structured products are subject to the creditworthiness of the issuer even if they are structured to offer principal protection, and any payments due at maturity are dependent on the issuer’s ability to make payment. In addition to this credit risk, other risks of investing in structured products include, but are not limited to, liquidity risk, limitations on upside participation, and the tax treatment may be different from other investments in a Contour APM account. There are risks associated with investing in certificates of deposit (“CDs”). While CDs are generally considered safe instruments because a CD is for a fixed period of time, there is the risk of inflation eroding the returns from the CD, particularly over long periods of time. An increase in interest rates will cause the value of a CD to decrease. In a low interest rate environment, the advisory fee and transactions costs to purchase a CD may exceed its yield. Some CDs have a call feature, thus there is the risk that these CDs may be called by the issuing bank before maturity. Another risk associated with CDs is the risk of penalties for early withdrawal if the CD is cashed in before maturity. In a low interest rate environment, the cost of purchasing a CD may exceed the yield or return. An investment in a money market mutual fund, unlike a bank deposit, is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental agency, and it is possible to lose money by investing in a money market mutual fund. Money market mutual funds are covered by SIPC, which protects against the custodial risk (not a decline in market value) when a brokerage firm fails by replacing missing securities and cash up to a limit of $500,000, of which $250,000 may be cash. A money market mutual fund generally seeks to achieve a competitive rate of return (less fees and expense) consistent with its investment objective(s), described in its prospectus. Money market funds seek to preserve a net asset value of $1.00, with excess earnings that are generated through interest on portfolio holdings distributed to investors in the form of dividend payments. Average annual rates of return of the money market mutual funds offered as cash sweep options will vary over time and may be higher or lower than the rate paid on other sweep options (including the FDIC-Insured Programs) or other money market mutual funds not offered as a cash sweep option. Due to stressed market conditions (e.g., which causes the Federal Reserve Bank to purchase government securities from the market in order to lower interest rates and increase the money supply, also known as “quantitative easing”), money market funds may not pay investors any excess dividends or distributions. Under severe market stress, a money market fund may fail to preserve a net asset value of $1.00 and/or may no longer be a viable business for the fund 29  sponsor, which may force the sponsor to liquidate. As a result of any of these factors, it is possible to lose money in a money market fund. Risk of Loss Investing in any type of security involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. Cadaret Grant does not guarantee the performance of an account or any specific level of performance. Market values of the securities in an account will fluctuate with market conditions. When an account is liquidated, it may be worth more or less than the amount invested. There is no guarantee that a client’s investment goals or objectives will be achieved. All securities are subject to some level of risk which could cause the value of your securities to decrease in value, and in some cases, could result in a loss of your entire investment. The following are some types of risk that could affect the value of your portfolio: • Market risk: The risk that changes in the overall market will have an adverse effect on individual securities, regardless of the issuer’s circumstances. • • • Business risk: Whether because of management or unfortunate circumstances, some businesses will inevitably fail. This is especially true during economic recessions. For example, a company stock can become worthless in the event of a bankruptcy, which would result in a loss of capital to the shareholders. Interest rate risk: If the Federal Reserve pushes interest rates higher, the market prices of bonds can be affected. When interest rates rise, the market price of bonds typically falls. Inflation risk: Inflation reduces the buying power of a dollar, and could cause uncertainty among individual investors, possibly resulting in corporations backing away from projects which could further reduce the value of corporate equities. • Regulatory risk: Legislative, regulatory, and/or judicial changes that impact businesses • can drastically change entire industries. Industry/company risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a specific company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, which is a lengthy process before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of fluctuations in profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a steady stream of clients who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like. • Liquidity risk: Certain investments lack liquidity or the ability to access their principal quickly, without incurring substantial penalties, or the inability to sell the investment until sometime in the future. • Opportunity risk: You or your IAR may choose a conservative product to invest in, which could cause you to miss out on market upswings which potentially could have increased the value of securities with higher risk. The opposite is also true; market downturns can cause you to lose a significant amount of principal invested in higher risk securities when their funds could have been invested in lower risk securities. • Reinvestment risk: There is a possibility that you will be unable to make additional purchases of a security already in your portfolio at the same rate at which the original purchase was made. • Currency or exchange rate risk: Foreign securities face the uncertainty that the value of either the foreign currency or the domestic currency will increase or decrease; either of 30  which will cause the value of your portfolio to fluctuate. • Transactional cost risk: You could incur significant transactional charges in an unbundled, actively traded account. Frequent trading can decrease the value of your account due to increased brokerage and transaction costs. In addition, the frequent trading can cause taxable events to occur, which could increase your tax burden. • Short sale risk: While a short position has unlimited capability to increase in value, it in turn increases your risk, as you can be required to purchase the security at a high rate or price in order to cover the short sale. • Exchange-Traded Funds: ETFs face market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for fund shares, losses from trading in the secondary markets, and disruption in the creation and redemption process of the ETF. Any of these factors can lead to liquidity risk and/or the fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to its “net asset value.” • • Leveraged and inverse ETFs: ETFs that offer leverage or that are designed to perform inversely to the index or benchmark they track—or both—are growing in number and popularity. While such products may be useful in some sophisticated trading strategies, they are highly complex financial instruments that are typically designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effects of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from their stated daily objective. Therefore, inverse and leveraged ETFs that are reset daily typically are unsuitable for clients who plan to hold them for longer than one trading session, particularly in volatile markets. Interval Funds: Interval funds provide limited liquidity to shareholders by offering to repurchase a limited number of shares on a periodic basis, but there is no guarantee that a client will be able to sell all their shares in any particular repurchase offer. The repurchase offer program may be suspended under certain circumstances. • Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) strategies: The implementation of ESG strategies could cause an account to perform differently compared to accounts that do not use such strategies. The criteria related to certain ESG strategies can result in an account foregoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities to comply with ESG guidelines when it might be otherwise disadvantageous to do so. In addition, an increased focus on ESG or sustainability investing in recent years may have led to increased valuations of certain issuers with higher ESG profiles. A reversal of that trend could result in losses with respect to investments in such issuers. There can be no assurance that an ESG strategy directly correlates with a client’s ESG goals, and ESG data is not available with respect to all issuers, sectors or industries and is often based upon estimates, comparisons or projections that may prove to be incorrect. As a result, a client account with ESG guidelines could nonetheless be invested in issuers that are inconsistent with the client’s ESG goals. • Structured Products: A structured product is an unsecured obligation of an issuer with a return, generally paid at maturity, that is linked to the performance of an underlying asset, such as a security, basket of securities, an index, a commodity, a debt issuance or a foreign currency. Structured products are senior unsecured debt of the issuing bank and subject to the credit risk associated with that issuer. This credit risk exists whether or not the investment held in the account offers principal protection. Some structured products 31  offer full protection of the principal invested, others offer only partial or no protection. Investors may be sacrificing a higher yield to obtain the principal guarantee. In addition, the principal guarantee relates to nominal principal and does not offer inflation protection. An investor in a structured product never has a claim on the underlying investment. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities and information regarding independent market pricing for the securities may be limited. A structured product may contain a call feature that can result in the investment being redeemed earlier than the stated maturity date. If a structured product is called prior to maturity, the payment you receive will depend upon the stated terms of the investment. If a structured product is called, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in a similar investment with similar risk and return characteristics. • Money Market Mutual Funds: While money market mutual funds seek to preserve a net asset value of $1.00, during periods of severe market stress, a money market mutual fund could fail to preserve a net asset value of $1.00 and/or could no longer be a viable business for the fund sponsor, which would force the sponsor to liquidate. It is possible to lose money by investing in a money market mutual fund. • Credit risk: The risk that an issuer of a fixed income security may fail to pay interest and/or principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of the security to decline. These risks are greater for securities that are rated below investment grade (junk bonds), which may be considered speculative and are more volatile than investment grade securities. • Options: Holding options for long-term periods could weaken and/or reduce the value of the underlying stock or create the possibility of a worthless position. • Global risk: International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets are not as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. • Cybersecurity risk: Cadaret Grant relies on the use and operation of different computer hardware, software, and online systems. The following risks are inherent in such programs and are enhanced for online systems: unauthorized access to or corruption, deletion, theft, or misuse of confidential data relating to Cadaret Grant and its clients; and compromises or failures of systems, networks, devices, or applications used by Cadaret Grant or its vendors to support its operations. You should understand and be willing to accept these and other types of risks before choosing to invest in securities or receive investment advisory services. Item 9 - Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to a client’s evaluation of Cadaret Grant or the integrity of Cadaret Grant’s management. Cadaret Grant is a broker-dealer in addition to its activities as a registered investment adviser. In connection with its broker-dealer business, Cadaret Grant has been the subject of certain regulatory actions, some of which Cadaret Grant has determined to be immaterial. Others are 32  summarized below: • On May 28, 2015, Cadaret Grant entered into an AWC with FINRA. FINRA found that, between January 2011 and December 2014, Cadaret Grant failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system reasonably designed to supervise variable annuity surrenders and exchanges recommended or processed by the firm’s registered representatives in violation of NASD Rule 3010 and FINRA Rules 2020, 3110, and 4511. Cadaret Grant consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to a censure and fine of $75,000, agreed to pay $236,242 in restitution plus interest to certain clients, and agreed to conduct a review of the adequacy of its written supervisory procedures regarding non- exchange variable annuity surrenders. • On August 1, 2017, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and- Desist Proceedings, Pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order as to Cadaret Grant. The Order alleges that (a) between 2011 and 2016, Cadaret Grant purchased, recommended, or held for advisory clients mutual fund share classes that charged 12b-1 fees instead of lower-cost share classes of the same funds for which clients were eligible, (b) Cadaret Grant received 12b-1 fees in connection with the investments, and (c) Cadaret Grant failed to disclose in its Form ADV the conflicts of interest related to the receipt of 12b-1 fees and its selection of mutual fund share classes that pay such fees. During the same period Cadaret Grant received marketing support payments from two mutual fund complexes when the firm investment clients in mutual fund shares classes that charged 12b-1 fees and failed to disclose this conflict of interest to clients. During the same period, the firm failed to refund unearned prepaid advisory fees to clients who terminated their accounts. As a result, the firm violated Sections 206(2), 206(4), and 207of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7. Cadaret Grant agreed, without admitting or denying the findings, to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations of Sections 206(2) and 207 of the Advisers Act, to a censure, to pay a fine of $280,000 and approximately $2.76 million to compensate investors affected by its conduct, and to notify affected investors of the entry of the Order. • On June 12, 2018, Cadaret Grant entered into a Consent Order with the Massachusetts Securities Division with respect to allegations that between 2010 and 2018 one of the firm’s investment adviser representatives had a place of business and provided investment advisory services in Massachusetts when not registered in Massachusetts. Cadaret Grant, without admitting or denying the allegations, agreed to (a) cease and desist from violating the Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 100A, Section 201(C) and 201(D), (b) register its investment adviser representatives in Massachusetts prior to them offering services, (c) refund $134,249 in fees charged to clients, and (d) pay a fine of $75,000 and registration fees of $400. • On September 11, 2018, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease- and-Desist Proceedings, Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Sections 203(c), 203(f), and 203(k) of the Advisers Act, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and- Desist Order as to Cadaret Grant. The Order alleges that (a) between January 2015 and December 2016, certain Cadaret Grant registered representatives recommended that customer buy and hold a complex exchange traded note linked to a crude oil futures index with triple leverage, (b) the representatives did not do a reasonable investigation or have a reasonable basis for their recommendations, (c) the firm’s supervisory personnel failed 33  to (i) establish and implement a reasonable supervisory system for determining whether representatives had a reasonable basis for recommending that investors buy and hold non-traditional exchange traded products (“ETPs”), (ii) provide training to representatives concerning non-traditional ETPs, (iii) implement Cadaret Grant’s specific policies and procedures pertaining to representatives’ recommendations to brokerage customers involving non-traditional ETPs, and (iv) devote adequate resources to supervising representatives. Cadaret Grant also failed to adopt and implement policies and procedures designed to prevent unsuitable sales of non-traditional ETPs by IARs to investment advisory clients in light of their investment objectives and financial condition. Cadaret Grant agreed, without admitting or denying the findings, to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations of Sections 206(4) and 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act, to a censure, to pay disgorgement of $12,296, prejudgment interest of $898, and a civil penalty of $500,000. • On September 11, 2018, Cadaret Grant entered into an AWC with FINRA. FINRA found that, between August 2012 and May 2017, Cadaret Grant failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system reasonably designed to supervise numerous areas of its business as a result of its failure to devote sufficient resources to supervision of the firm’s personnel. in violation of Section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, SEC Rule 17a-4, NASD Rule 3010, and FINRA Rules 2020, 2330, 3110, and 4511. Cadaret Grant consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to a censure and fine of $800,000, and to engage an independent consultant to conduct a review of its policies, systems and procedures, and training relating to variable annuity sales and exchanges, consolidated reports, and retention and review of electronic communications. • On December 17, 2019, Cadaret Grant entered into a Consent Agreement and Order with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities with respect to allegations that between January 2015 and September 2019 the firm employed at least one unregistered investment adviser representative in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the Pennsylvania Securities Act. Cadaret Grant, without admitting or denying the allegations, agreed to pay a fine of $90,000. • On July 1, 2020, Cadaret Grant entered into an AWC with FINRA. FINRA found that, between April 2014 and March 2017, Cadaret Grant failed to reasonably supervise a registered representative who conducted multiple undisclosed private securities transactions, which were part of a Ponzi scheme that the registered representative orchestrated that resulted in substantial losses to several clients and that the firm failed to take reasonable steps to investigate red flags that the registered representative was involved in private securities transactions in violation of NASD Rule 3010 and FINRA Rules 2020 and 3110. Cadaret Grant consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to a censure and fine of $200,000. • On August 12, 2024, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and- Desist Proceedings pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Advisers Act, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order as to Cadaret Grant. The Order alleges that Cadaret Grant failed to provide full and fair disclosure regarding conflicts of interest associated with its receipt of: (1) revenue sharing payments from Cadaret Grant’s unaffiliated clearing broker as a result of advisory clients’ investments in certain no- transaction fee (“NTF”) mutual fund share classes from at least January 2017 until January 2020; (2) revenue sharing payments from its unaffiliated clearing broker as a result of sweeping cash into certain money market mutual funds from at least January 2017 until March 2022; and (3) markups on the unaffiliated clearing broker’s fees for certain advisory 34  clients’ transaction fees (“transaction fee markups”) from at least January 2017 until June 2020. The Order also alleges that Cadaret Grant breached its duty to seek best execution by causing certain advisory clients to invest in certain share classes of NTF mutual funds when share classes of the same funds were available to the clients that presented a more favorable value for these clients under the particular circumstances in place at the time of the transactions, and that Cadaret Grant breached its duty of care by failing to undertake an analysis to determine whether the particular mutual fund shares class and money market fund it recommended was in the best interests of its advisory clients. Finally, the Order alleges that Cadaret Grant failed to adopt and implement written compliance policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder in connection with its practices regarding mutual fund share class and money market fund selection, transaction fee markups, and seeking best execution. Without admitting or denying the findings, Cadaret Grant agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations of Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7 promulgated thereunder, to a censure, to pay approximately $4.2 million and interest to compensate investors affected by its conduct, a civil penalty of $1 million, and to a number of undertakings, including to notify affected investors of the entry of the Order. Cadaret Grant, as a broker-dealer, is regulated by each of the 50 States and has been subject to orders related to the violation of certain state laws and regulations in connection with its brokerage activities. For more information about these state events and other disciplinary and legal events involving Cadaret Grant and our IARs, clients should refer to Investment Adviser Public Disclosure at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov or FINRA BrokerCheck® at https://brokercheck.finra.org. Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Cadaret Grant is registered as a broker-dealer and as an investment adviser with the SEC. Cadaret Grant is a member of FINRA and SIPC. Cadaret Grant is also licensed as an insurance agency in all states. Cadaret Grant is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Atria Wealth Solutions, Inc. (Atria). Cadaret Grant has the following affiliates.

Banking or Thrift Institution Western International Securities, Inc. Broker Dealer, Registered Investment Adviser, and Insurance Agency Conflicts of Interest as a Broker-Dealer and Insurance Agency Cadaret Grant is dually registered as both a broker-dealer and as a registered investment adviser and is also a licensed insurance agency. Most of our IARs are registered with us as a registered representative, which allows them to perform brokerage services for you by executing securities transactions. Each IAR is an independent contractor with Cadaret Grant. In their capacity as registered representatives, IARs offer securities and receive commissions as a result of such transactions. There is a conflict of interest when an IAR is able to choose between offering a client fee-based programs and services (as is typical of an advisory relationship) and/or commission- based products and services (as is typical of a brokerage relationship). There is a difference in how Cadaret Grant and your IAR are compensated for advisory accounts and brokerage accounts or insurance products. While a client pays a fee to their IAR on an advisory account based on the value of account assets and not the number of transactions, in their capacities as registered representatives, an IAR can offer securities and receive a commission, markup, or markdown on each transaction. To mitigate this conflict, we review our client accounts and transactions to ensure that we have a reasonable basis to believe the recommended services and transactions are consistent with a client’s stated goals, objectives, preferences, and needs. Cadaret Grant’s registration as a broker-dealer is material to our advisory business because advisory accounts are custodied with Pershing, a third-party custodian, where we act in our capacity as an introducing broker-dealer. This results in additional forms of compensation to Cadaret Grant which are discussed in this brochure. See Item 12 – Brokerage Practices – Pershing Clearing Relationship, and Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation – Indirect Compensation and Revenue Sharing. Many of our IARs are also licensed insurance agents appointed with various insurance companies. An IAR can be contracted and appointed as an independent insurance agent or as an insurance agent with Cadaret Grant. Acting in the capacity of an insurance agent, IARs can sell annuities and insurance products to advisory clients and earn commissions for these transactions. Clients are under no obligation to purchase products or services recommended by an IAR or through an IAR or otherwise through Cadaret Grant or its affiliates. Clients are free to implement recommendations through any broker-dealer or advisory firm. If you request that an IAR recommend a broker-dealer, the IAR will recommend Cadaret Grant; however, you are under no obligation to effect transactions through us. An IAR’s Outside Business Activities Our IARs are independent contractors and can engage in certain approved outside business activities other than providing brokerage and advisory services through Cadaret Grant, and in certain cases, an IAR receives more compensation, benefits, and non-cash compensation through an outside business activity than through Cadaret Grant. This creates a conflict of interest because IARs have an incentive to spend more time and attention on other ventures than on 36  managing your account. Some of our IARs are accountants, real estate agents, insurance agents, tax preparers, or lawyers, and some refer clients to other service providers and receive referral fees. As an example, an IAR could provide advisory or financial planning services through an unaffiliated investment advisory firm, sell insurance through a separate business, or provide third- party administration to retirement plans through a separate firm. If an IAR provides investment services to a retirement plan as our representative and also provides administration services to the plan through a separate firm, this typically means the IAR is compensated from the plan for the two services. In addition, an IAR can sell insurance through an insurance agency not affiliated with Cadaret Grant. In those circumstances, the IAR is subject to the policies and procedures of the third-party insurance agency related to the sale of insurance products and would have different conflicts of interest than when acting on behalf of Cadaret Grant. When an IAR receives compensation, benefits, and non-cash compensation through the third-party insurance agency, the IAR has an incentive to recommend you purchase insurance products away from Cadaret Grant. If you contract with an IAR for services separate or away from Cadaret Grant, you should discuss with them any questions you have about the compensation they receive from the engagement. Additional information about a IAR’s outside business activities is available on FINRA's website at brokercheck.finra.org. Conflicts of Interest with Independent Registered Investment Advisers In addition to or in lieu of their capacity as an IAR of Cadaret Grant, certain IARs have their own independent registered investment adviser firms (an “Independent RIA”). An IAR of an Independent RIA can have three different but concurrent roles: • As a registered representative with Cadaret Grant who receives commissions for effecting securities transactions; • As an IAR of Cadaret Grant who receives a fee for rendering Advisory Services on behalf of Cadaret Grant; and • As an IAR of an Independent RIA who offers advisory services outside of Cadaret Grant. You should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation while acting in concurrent roles creates a conflict of interest and can impair the objectivity of these IARs when making advisory recommendations. If your IAR is associated with an Independent RIA, this will be disclosed on your IAR’s Part 2B of Form ADV. Depending on the terms negotiated, your IAR can retain a higher percentage of the advisory fee for services provided through an Independent RIA than would be retained when services are provided through Cadaret Grant. You should ask your IAR if purchasing services through an Independent RIA would result in increased costs to you. You are not obligated to purchase recommended investment products from our IARs or their Independent RIAs. Conflicts of Interest as an Insurance Agency Cadaret Grant is licensed as an insurance agency. An IAR can offer insurance through Cadaret Grant or through an independent insurance agency. When acting in the capacity of an insurance agent, IARs can effect transactions in insurance products for clients and earn commissions for these activities. 37  The fees paid to Cadaret Grant for advisory services are separate and distinct from the insurance commissions earned by Cadaret Grant and/or its insurance agents. You are under no obligation to use Cadaret Grant or its insurance agents for insurance services and can use the insurance firm and agent of your choosing. Third Party Investment Advisers We maintain relationships with TPIAs that we or your IAR may recommend. TPIAs must be approved by us before their programs are available to our clients. Approval is based on several criteria, including investment strategy, investment performance, transaction reporting activities, and wholesaling support. The third-party investment advisers whose programs are available to our clients are given the opportunity to participate in our Partners Program. In exchange for certain benefits, such as the opportunity to participate in our national conferences and broader access to our IARs via participation in conference calls and receipt of contact lists, the third-party in the Partners Program shares a portion of the revenue generated by distributing their products and services with us and/or pay a specified dollar amount. Not all third-party investment advisers approved by us participate in the Partners Program. Further, our IARs do not receive any compensation through the Partners Program, and as such do not have a direct financial incentive to select one third-party investment adviser over another. Cadaret Grant and IARs also may recommend and select other investment advisers for clients and receive compensation from those advisors through Cadaret Grant’s TPIA Program. This creates a conflict of interest because IARs have an incentive to recommend these programs based on the compensation received, rather than on a client’s needs. For additional information, please refer to the Third Party Investment Adviser (TPIA) Programs sub-section under Item 4 - Investment Advisory Business and Indirect Compensation and Revenue Sharing sub-section under Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation. Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interests in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Cadaret Grant has adopted a Code of Ethics and Personal Securities Trading Policy to comply with SEC Rule 204A-1. The following is a summary of the main components of this policy: • • that emphasizes putting the client’s Requirement that employees comply with all state and federal securities laws and regulations. Adoption of standards of conduct interest first and avoiding any conflicts of interest. Protection of the client’s personal non-public confidential information. Prohibition against the use of material non-public information (insider trading). • • • • • Reporting of personal securities transactions for all “access persons.” Requirement to report any violation of the policy to senior management. Imposition of sanctions for violations of the policy. A copy of our Code of Ethics can be obtained by writing or calling Cadaret Grant’s Advisory Services Department, at 100 Madison Street, Suite 1300, Syracuse, NY 13202 or toll free at 800.288.8601. 38  Cadaret Grant is aware of the risks of a conflict of interest when IARs trade securities in their own accounts that they also recommend to clients or trade on behalf of clients. Conflicts arise when IARs have the ability to take advantage of investment opportunities that could have been made for clients or when they use their knowledge of pending client transactions to front-run such transactions. To address these risks, Cadaret Grant’s Code of Ethics includes reporting requirements that allow Cadaret Grant access to review and monitor IARs personal trading activity. IARs must also refrain from executing a personal trade of the same general security as that of an advisory client, either for themselves or for a member of their household, on the same day as that of an advisory client’s trade unless the client receives the better price or both trades are completed as a block trade and average pricing is applied (excluding open-end mutual funds and general obligations of the United States). Transactions that are deemed inconsistent with this policy are subject to cancellation or correction at the IAR’s expense. Item 12 - Brokerage Practices When you select a Cadaret Grant advisory program, the broker-dealer responsible for execution of trades varies. There are three possible scenarios: (1) Cadaret Grant requires the use of specific broker-dealers, as is the case in Contour, TIMS, and TIMS II; (2) TPIAs may select the broker- dealer in a TPIA program; or (3) a client may have the option to select a broker-dealer. Cadaret Grant is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and provides various services as an introducing broker-dealer for which it is compensated by a commission or ticket charge. Cadaret Grant does not provide services as a broker-dealer in connection with its non- discretionary advisory program for retirement plan participants. Cadaret Grant has no brokerage soft dollar arrangements and receives no benefits or research in exchange for executions. Cadaret Grant’s IARs can recommend to their advisory clients that they use Cadaret Grant broker- dealer services, in which case services are offered at the same cost as to brokerage clients. However, if an Advisory Services client maintains a brokerage account with Cadaret Grant, in its capacity as a broker-dealer, they can incur higher transaction costs in the form of commissions or ticket charges than if their accounts were held elsewhere. Except as disclosed in any wrap fee program, the brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Cadaret Grant, Pershing, and Schwab, or any other designated broker-dealer are exclusive of (and in addition to) Cadaret Grant’s advisory fee. Cadaret Grant acts as an introducing broker utilizing Pershing to execute transactions in TIMS and Contour accounts and to custody account assets in connection with the program. TIMS and Contour accounts can also be custodied with an unaffiliated custodian designated by a client. Custodial options in TIMS and Contour include, but are not limited to, Pershing and Schwab. Our clearing relationship with Pershing provides us with certain economic benefits and compensation by using ourselves as the broker-dealer for our advisory programs that would not be received if we used an unaffiliated, third-party broker-dealer for our advisory programs. See Pershing Clearing Relationship below for additional information. TIMS, TIMS II, and Contour In the TIMS, TIMS II, and Contour programs, you authorize us to direct all transactions through a designated broker-dealer. You cannot request that your orders be executed through another broker-dealer. When directing execution of all transactions through a particular broker-dealer, there is no assurance that most favorable execution will be obtained, which could cost you more money. 39  Not all advisers require clients to direct transaction executions to specified broker-dealers, as we do. This creates a conflict of interest for accounts custodied at Pershing because of the economic benefits Cadaret Grant receives. We periodically review the execution quality of available broker- dealers to confirm that the quality we receive is comparable to what could be obtained through other qualified broker-dealers. For accounts custodied at Pershing, Cadaret Grant relies in part on Pershing’s review of execution quality, the details of which are made available to us for our review. In addition, to assist in evaluating the quality of Pershing’s equity executions, we engage the services of a third-party consultant who monitors Pershing’s equity executions for quality and helps us identify transactions that are eligible for price improvement. In Contour, SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, or Envestnet, as Overlay Manager, can elect to execute trades at broker-dealers other than Custodian for some or all of their transactions or investment styles. This is frequently referred to as “trading away” or “step out trades”. Clients who select such managers will be subject to any transaction charges or other charges, including commissions, mark-ups, mark-downs, or other additional trading costs that are imposed by the executing broker-dealer in addition to the total fee and the other fees described in the applicable Contour Brochure. The Form ADV Part 2A for the applicable manager should be consulted for additional information. Certain Contour accounts are managed based on model portfolio strategies. One or more clients can have the same model portfolio, based on their investment objective and risk profile. We typically aggregate orders into block trades when models are rebalanced or if one or more securities are added or removed from a model. Transactions can, however, be executed independent of transactions for other clients. An IAR must reasonably believe that a block order is consistent with Cadaret Grant’s duty to seek best execution and will benefit each client participating in the aggregated order. When we aggregate orders, we do so in a manner reasonably designed to ensure that no participating client obtains a more favorable execution price than another. Transactions are typically aggregated pro rata to the participating client accounts in proportion to the size of the order placed for each account. If we are unable to fully execute an aggregated order and we determine that it would be impractical to allocate a smaller number of securities among the participating accounts on a pro rata basis, we will seek to allocate the securities in a manner that does not disadvantage particular client accounts. In connection with the Fidelity Investments Retirement Investment Advisory Program for retirement plan participants, clients must use National Financial Services LLC (“NFS”) to maintain custody of their assets and to effect trades for their accounts. Cadaret Grant does not act as introducing broker or broker of record in connection with accounts custodied at NFS. Instead, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (“FBS”) acts as introducing broker and broker of record on trades submitted by clients in this program. Cadaret Grant is not affiliated with Pershing, Schwab, or NFS. The commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Cadaret Grant, Pershing, Schwab, and NFS can be higher or lower than those charged by other broker-dealers. However, a client can pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the same transaction where Cadaret Grant determines, in good faith, that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including the broker’s expertise, the price at 40  which the trade executed relative to other trades in the security, the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and the broker’s integrity and responsiveness. Consistent with the foregoing, while Cadaret Grant and/or our IARs seek competitive rates, you should not expect that we will necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions. Also, and as noted above, we periodically review the execution quality of available broker-dealers to confirm that the quality we receive is comparable to what could be obtained through other qualified broker-dealers. Schwab and Pershing provide Cadaret Grant and our IARs with access to institutional trading, portfolio management, brokerage and custodial services, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only for institutional investors or would require a higher minimum initial investment. Schwab and Pershing do not charge a separate fee for custody of Cadaret Grant’s client accounts that they maintain but are compensated by the account holders through commissions or other transaction-related fees for security trades that are executed through them or settle into their accounts and for various account fees. Cadaret Grant receives other products and services from Schwab and Pershing that benefits Cadaret Grant, but not client accounts. Some of these other products and services assist Cadaret Grant in managing and administering client accounts. These include software and other technology that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), facilitate payment of Cadaret Grant’s fees from client’s accounts, and assist with back- office functions, record keeping and client reporting. These services can be used to service all or a substantial number of client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Pershing or Schwab. Cadaret Grant also receives services from Schwab and Pershing that are intended to help Cadaret Grant manage and further develop its business. These services include information technology, regulatory compliance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab and Pershing make available, arrange and/or pay for these types of services furnished to Cadaret Grant by independent third parties. Schwab and Pershing can discount or waive fees they would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of the third party providing the services to Cadaret Grant. Cadaret Grant’s or our IARs can make recommendations that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab, Pershing, NFS, or another qualified custodian. These recommendations can be based in part on the benefits to a client, such as the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost, or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by the custodian, which creates a conflict of interest. Clients of Cadaret Grant should be aware that if they direct Cadaret Grant or our IARs to use a particular broker, it can limit Cadaret Grant’s or our IARs’ ability to achieve best execution, negotiate commissions with other brokers on behalf of the client, or limit the client's participation in block trading. In connection with the provision of TPIA programs, your choice of custodian will be limited to those choices offered by the TPIA program sponsor. Pershing Clearing Relationship Pershing is the clearing firm for Cadaret Grant’s brokerage business and is a custodial option for its accounts. Pershing offers their broker-dealer clients substantial financial strength and stability, economies of scale, and reliable, state-of-the-art technology. As part of this business relationship, 41  Cadaret Grant pays Pershing various execution and clearing charges and fees in connection with Pershing maintaining custody and effecting the purchase and sale of securities for Cadaret Grant’s clients. Pershing’s execution and clearing charges are included in the commissions and transaction charges or fees that Cadaret Grant charges its clients. Pershing pays Cadaret Grant the portion of commissions and transactions fees that exceed its execution and clearing charges. Cadaret Grant does not share any of this revenue received from Pershing for investment advisory accounts with our IARs. Pershing charges Cadaret Grant for certain account services for accounts custodied with Pershing (including advisory accounts), including clearing and executing transactions, outgoing transfers, wired funds, direct registration of securities, paper statements and confirms, margin extensions, ticket charges, and IRA custodial maintenance and termination. Cadaret Grant sets its own price for its services, which are designed to cover its costs of doing business (including overhead and other costs) as well as provide for a profit to Cadaret Grant. Cadaret Grant charges clients more for certain services than it pays Pershing, which is sometimes called a “markup,” and the markups vary by product and the type of service and can be substantial. Cadaret Grant keeps the difference between the fees and charges our clients pay and the amount paid to Pershing to cover the costs associated with processing transactions and providing other services. The economic arrangements between Cadaret Grant and Pershing (including the fees charged by Pershing) can be renegotiated and change from time to time, including in circumstances where Cadaret Grant realizes net savings or increased profits from the changed arrangements and Cadaret Grant does pass on any net savings or increased profits in the form of reduced fees and charges to clients. This practice creates a conflict of interest for us since we have a financial incentive to recommend Pershing since we receive substantial compensation for the services we provide. IARs do not receive a portion of these fees. Our clearing relationship with Pershing provides us with certain economic benefits and compensation by using ourselves as the broker-dealer for our advisory programs that would not be received if we used an unaffiliated, third-party broker-dealer for our advisory programs. For example, as described above and/or in Item 5, we add a markup to the transaction costs in the Non- Wrap Fee Contour APM, TIMS and TIMS II programs and certain other brokerage-related account charges and fees that are assessed to all client accounts at Pershing. The charges and fees that are marked up are set forth in our Account Fee Schedule on our website under Disclosures (cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/). The additional compensation we receive creates a significant conflict of interest with our clients because we have a substantial economic incentive to use Pershing as the clearing firm for trade execution and custody over other firms that do not share compensation with us. The revenue and compensation we receive from Pershing is related to both advisory and brokerage accounts custodied on the Pershing platform. Our IARs do not receive any portion of this compensation. For assets in the Contour program, Cadaret Grant pays a recurring fee to Pershing based on a percentage of the aggregate assets invested by advisory clients, excluding certain investments, such as alternative investments. When the assets in the Contour program custodied at Pershing increase, the fee we pay decreases. This creates a conflict of interest for Cadaret Grant as we have an incentive to recommend advisory clients use Pershing as a custodian over other custodians and to recommend that you increase the amount you have invested in your Contour account. Pershing pays or shares with Cadaret Grant the following items: • For accounts in custody with Pershing with cash balances automatically transferred (swept) into the Dreyfus Insured Deposits P - Tiered Rate Product (DIDP) program, a 42  portion of the fees paid by each participating bank receiving swept funds (each a “Program Bank”) equal to a percentage of the average daily deposits at the Program Banks. The combined fee paid to Cadaret Grant, Pershing, and a third-party administrator will not exceed 4% per year on the average daily balances held in all deposit accounts taken in the aggregate. Cadaret Grant sets the amount of the fee it charges and retains, which may exceed the amount of interest paid to clients; for the Level Fee Product • For IRA accounts in custody with Pershing with cash balances automatically transferred (swept) into the Dreyfus Insured Deposits LF – Level Fee Product (DILF), a level monthly fee for each IRA that participates in the DILF program. The amount of this fee is determined based on a fee schedule indexed to the Federal Fund Target Rate published by the Federal Reserve System as detailed in the DILF Disclosure Statement and Terms and Conditions located at cadaretgrant.com/disclosures. The per account monthly fee will be no less than $0.58 and no more than $20.59. It is generally anticipated that the fee Cadaret Grant charges will be offset by the total amounts paid to Cadaret Grant by Program Banks. If Cadaret Grant does not receive sufficient payments each month from Program Banks, Cadaret Grant reserves the right to debit each IRA account for the amount of any shortfall; • For brokerage accounts in custody with Pershing that have not been converted to either the Dreyfus Insured Deposits P - Tiered Rate Product (DIDP) or Dreyfus Insured Deposits LF – Level Fee Product (DILF) programs, a portion of the revenue Pershing receives from uninvested client cash balances in such accounts automatically swept into money market funds and FDIC insured bank deposit products of up to 0.60% of the value of cash balances. These payments vary based on the bank deposit account or money market fund a client has selected; • Transition assistance in the form of (a) reimbursement of IRA termination fees of up to $165 per account for a retirement account transferred to Pershing and up to $125 per retail account for retail accounts transferred to Pershing, or (b) a payment on the value of the assets transitioned, or (c) some combination of fee reimbursements and a payment on the value of assets transitioned; • A growth assistance credit to support, service, and grow brokerage assets on the Pershing platform; • A portion of certain brokerage account services and custodial fees charged to client accounts that exceeds the amount that Cadaret Grant is required to pay Pershing for such services, including clearing and execution costs, account transfer fees, IRA custodial and termination fees, paper confirm and statement fees, inactive (custodial) account fees, retirement account maintenance fees, and margin interest and/or fees; • A portion of shareholder servicing fees from certain mutual fund sponsors as part of their FundVest Focus® no transaction fee mutual fund program (FundVest) as described below; and • A rebate of a portion of clearing charges paid for equity and ETF transactions if the volume of transactions exceeds a certain number each month. If Cadaret Grant or Pershing terminate their clearing agreement, Cadaret Grant is subject to a termination fee of $1,000,000. In addition, if the clearing agreement terminates or more than 30% of Cadaret Grant’s client assets move to a custodial platform outside of Pershing prior to June 1, 43  2026, Cadaret Grant must repay the transition assistance and growth assistance payments received in the year the agreement terminates. This arrangement creates an incentive for Cadaret Grant to require you to use Pershing for brokerage services, over another third-party broker. Pershing can request a review and renegotiation of its charges if the revenue that Pershing receives from Cadaret Grant declines by ten percent or more in any six-month period. FundVest Focus® No Transaction Fee (NTF) Mutual Fund Program In the FundVest program, Cadaret Grant is eligible to receive through a contractual agreement with Pershing, 100% of 12b-1 fees paid by participating mutual funds, and for participating mutual funds that do not pay 12b-1 fees, up to 57.5% of FundVest service fees paid by participating mutual funds to Pershing for FundVest assets over a threshold amount that are held in the aggregate in clients’ brokerage and advisory accounts. Our receipt of a portion of the FundVest service fees creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to invest your assets or to recommend that you purchase or hold these mutual funds that pay fees to Pershing that is shared with Cadaret Grant over other mutual funds that do not pay these fees. To mitigate this conflict, we do not share these fees with IARs, and we do not require or incentivize our IARs to recommend FundVest mutual funds. We credit all 12b-1 fees we receive to clients’ advisory accounts. Most FundVest mutual funds have higher internal expenses than mutual funds that are not in the FundVest program, and the share classes of funds in the program have higher internal expenses than share classes not in the program. The higher internal expenses will reduce the long-term performance of an account when compared to an account that holds lower-cost share classes of the same fund. Clients should ask whether lower-cost mutual funds are available and/or appropriate for their account considering their expected investment holding periods, amounts invested, and anticipated trading frequency. FundVest funds held less than six months are also subject to a short-term redemption fee of $50 which will be charged to your account. Further information regarding mutual fund fees is available in the applicable mutual fund prospectus. For a list of funds participating in the FundVest program, please contact us using the contact information provided on the cover of this Brochure. Pershing, in its sole discretion, may add or remove mutual funds from the FundVest program or may terminate the FundVest program without prior notice. Margin Accounts Pershing offers margin accounts for our clients where you may borrow funds for the purpose of purchasing additional securities. You may also use a margin account to borrow money to pay for fees associated with your account or to withdraw funds. If you decide to open a margin account, please carefully consider that: (i) if you do not have available cash in your account and use margin, you are borrowing money to purchase securities, pay for fees associated with your account, or withdraw funds; and (ii) you are using the investments that you own in the account as collateral. Please carefully review the margin disclosure document for additional risks involved in opening a margin account. Money borrowed in a margin account is charged an interest rate that is subject to change over time. This interest payment is in addition to other fees associated with your account. Pershing and Cadaret Grant charge interest on margin loans to clients. Under its agreement with Pershing, Cadaret Grant sets the interest rate for margin loans in a range from 0.25% to 2.75% 44  above the Pershing base lending rate depending on the amount of the margin advance. Cadaret Grant receives compensation in an amount by which the interest rate exceeds the Pershing base lending rate less 1%. Cadaret Grant has a conflict of interest in recommending to you a margin loan because Cadaret Grant (in its capacity as a broker-dealer) receives a markup on the interest charged on the loan. Your IAR is not compensated on margin loan balances and therefore does not have a conflict of interest in recommending the use of margin. Consequently, Cadaret Grant maintains policies and procedures to ensure recommendations made to you are in your best interest and in conjunction with the lack of compensation to your IAR, believe this mitigates the conflict of interest that Cadaret Grant has in recommending margin loans. LoanAdvance Program You can participate in Pershing’s LoanAdvance program which enables clients to collateralize certain investment accounts to obtain secured loans. In LoanAdvance, you are charged a rate of interest that is a floating rate not more 3 percentage points above the Fed Funds Target Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 200 basis points. We receive compensation in an amount by which the interest rate is marked up over this rate and share it with your IAR. Cadaret Grant and our IARs have an incentive to recommend that clients borrow money rather than liquidating some of their account assets so that we and our IAR can continue to receive advisory fees on those assets. This results in additional compensation in connection with a client’s advisory account. Trading is permissible in the advisory account that is pledged for the loan; however, the collateral must meet Pershing’s LoanAdvance maintenance requirement to support the loan. Securities Lending You are able to enroll in Pershing’s Fully Paid Securities Lending program, which enables qualified clients to lend fully paid-for securities to Pershing. Pershing earns revenue from lending these securities and a portion of that revenue is shared with you, Cadaret Grant, and your IAR. Cadaret Grant and your IAR share in 5% of the revenue received. The receipt of this extra compensation creates a conflict in certain advisory programs in which your IAR acts as the portfolio manager. The conflict surrounds whether this extra compensation would cause your IAR to hold a security in your account that would have otherwise been liquidated but not for receipt of additional compensation. This conflict is mitigated by our requirement that investment decisions made by your IAR must be in your best interest, as well as the fact that if an account holds these positions, your IAR’s compensation will increase nominally, but the security will also generate income for your account. Not all accounts or clients qualify for this program. IARs who are registered representatives of Cadaret Grant also receive commissions from Cadaret Grant in their separate capacity as registered representatives of Cadaret Grant in connection with the sale of financial products they recommend. Receiving such commissions creates a conflict of interest for the IAR and our firm. Accordingly, we monitor and supervise these activities to ensure recommendations of financial products are suitable based upon your financial needs, investment objectives, and risk tolerance. Cash Sweep Options Cadaret Grant, through our clearing firm, Pershing, offers a cash sweep program to automatically move (sweep) uninvested cash balances held in brokerage accounts into either an interest- bearing Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured deposit account through a Dreyfus Insured Deposits Program or a money market mutual fund, depending on the account type. Generally, each account is eligible for a single sweep product chosen specifically for that 45  account type. Retail individual brokerage accounts (including investment advisory accounts), and business advisory or brokerage accounts are swept to the Dreyfus Insured Deposits P – Tiered Rate Product (“DIDP”), individual retirement accounts (IRAs) other than SIMPLE IRAs (SEPs) are swept to the Dreyfus Insured Deposits LF – Level Fee Product (“DILF”), and all ERISA Title I accounts are swept to the Dreyfus Government Cash Management – Investor Shares (“DGVXX”) money market mutual fund. For deposit accounts in the DIDP program, Pershing receives a fee from each participating bank receiving swept funds (each a “Program Bank”) equal to a percentage of the average daily deposits at the Program Banks. Pershing shares the fee with Cadaret Grant and a third-party administrator. The combined fee paid to Cadaret Grant, Pershing, and the administrator will not exceed 4% per year on the average daily balances held in all deposit accounts taken in the aggregate. Cadaret Grant receives a substantial portion of this fee but not more than 3.30% per year. For IRAs, Cadaret Grant receives a level monthly fee for each IRA that participates in the DILF program. The amount of this fee is determined based on a fee schedule indexed to the Federal Fund Target Rate published by the Federal Reserve System. The per account monthly fee will be no less than $0.58 and no more than $20.59. It is generally anticipated that the fee Cadaret Grant charges will be offset by the total amounts paid to us by the Program Banks. If Cadaret Grant does not receive sufficient payments each month from the Program Banks, Cadaret Grant reserves the right to debit your IRA account for the amount of any shortfall. Your deposits at each Program Bank are limited to $246,500, or $493,000 for a joint account (98.5% of the deposit insurance limit). Once this amount is reached at a Program Bank, additional amounts are deposited in subsequent Program Banks in amounts not to exceed $246,500 at each Program Bank. Any amounts deposited above the $2.490 million program maximum ($4.980 million for joint accounts) will be placed in shares of the DGVXX money market mutual fund and will not be covered by FDIC insurance. For additional information on the DIDP and DILF program, please see the disclosure statement and terms and conditions booklets available on cadaretgrant.com/disclosures. The DGVXX money market mutual fund is eligible for protection by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). SIPC does not protect against the rise and fall in the value of investments. You may elect to turn off (i.e., opt out of) the automatic sweep feature by contacting your IAR. If you opt out, any cash balances in your account will remain as free credit balances and will not earn interest or be eligible for FDIC insurance but will remain eligible for SIPC coverage if maintained for the purpose of purchasing securities. Depending on interest rates and other market factors, the yields on the DIDP and DILF will be higher or lower than the aggregate fees received by Cadaret Grant for your participation in the sweep programs. When yields are lower, this results in a negative overall return with respect to cash balances in a sweep program. Interest rates applicable to DIDP or DILF are often lower than the interest rates available if you make deposits directly with a bank or other depository institution outside of Cadaret Grant’s brokerage platform or invest in a money market mutual fund or other cash equivalent. Cadaret Grant receives more revenue when cash is swept into DIDP or DILF than if your cash was invested in other products, including money market mutual funds. Therefore, Cadaret Grant 46  has an incentive to place and maintain your assets in the DIDP and DILF programs to earn more income, which creates a conflict of interest. A further conflict of interest arises as a result of the financial incentive for Cadaret Grant to recommend and offer the DIDP due to Cadaret Grant’s control of certain functions. Cadaret Grant sets the interest rate tiers and the amount of the fee it receives for the DIDP, which generates additional compensation for Cadaret Grant. The compensation Cadaret Grant receives for DIDP and DILF is in addition to any remuneration Cadaret Grant and your IAR receive in connection with other transactions executed within your account for which advisory fees or other charges apply. We mitigate these types of conflicts by ensuring that your IAR does not receive any compensation from these sweep payments, and by maintaining policies and procedures to ensure that any recommendations made to you are in your best interest. You should compare the terms, interest rates, required minimum amounts, and other features of the sweep program with other types of accounts and investments for cash. The sweep products have limited purpose and are not meant as a long-term investment or a cash alternative. The DIDP and DILF programs are available only to clients of broker-dealers such as Cadaret Grant that clear through Pershing. Pershing is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and is affiliated with (a) The Bank of New York Mellon, a NY state- chartered bank, and BNY Mellon, National Association, a national banking association, both of which participate as Program Banks in DIDP and DILF, (b) Dreyfus Cash Solutions, a division of BNY Mellon Securities Corporation, which is a service provider for DIDP and DILF, and (c) Dreyfus, a division of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and the investment manager of the Dreyfus money market mutual fund made available to accounts not eligible for DIDP or DILF. Schwab Custodial Relationship Cadaret Grant may recommend that clients establish their advisory account with the Schwab Advisor Services division of Schwab, a registered broker-dealer, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. The decision to custody assets with Schwab is at the discretion of our clients, including those accounts under ERISA or IRS rules and regulations, in which case a client is acting as either the plan sponsor or IRA accountholder. Schwab provides Cadaret Grant with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services for Cadaret Grant client accounts maintained at Schwab but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transactions-related or asset-based fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle in Schwab accounts. Schwab also makes available to Cadaret Grant other products and services that benefit Cadaret Grant but do not benefit our clients’ accounts. These benefits include national, regional, or Cadaret Grant specific educational events organized or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other benefits include occasional business entertainment of personnel of Cadaret Grant by Schwab Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational 47  opportunities. Other of these products and services assist Cadaret Grant in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements); facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts); provide research, pricing information, and other market data; facilitate payment of Cadaret Grant’s fees from its clients’ accounts; and assist with back-office training and support functions, recordkeeping, and client reporting. Many of these services may be used to service all or some substantial number of Cadaret Grant’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to Cadaret Grant other services intended to help Cadaret Grant manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services include professional compliance, legal, and business consulting, publications, and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab makes available, arranges, and/or pays vendors for these types of services rendered to Cadaret Grant by independent third parties. Schwab Advisor Services may discount or waive fees 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 Cadaret Grant. Schwab also reimburses certain Cadaret Grant clients who open an account with Schwab for fees that they incur to close their accounts with another custodian and open an account and transition their assets to Schwab. There is a cap on the total fees that Schwab will reimburse each year and Cadaret Grant must transition a minimum number of new accounts and assets to Schwab to be eligible for the benefit. While, as a fiduciary, Cadaret Grant endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, you should expect that Cadaret Grant’s recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab is based in part on the benefit to Cadaret Grant of the availability of some of the foregoing products and service and other arrangements and not solely on the nature, cost, or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which creates a conflict of interest. Item 13 - Review of Accounts In order to fulfill its obligation to supervise IARs, Cadaret Grant has established written supervisory policies and procedures concerning IARs’ management of client accounts. Cadaret Grant provides IARs with investment guidelines and restrictions and periodically reviews client trading, as described below to ensure compliance with Cadaret Grant’s guidance and policies. For clients receiving Advisory Services from Cadaret Grant, the IAR and/or Cadaret Grant generally conduct reviews of accounts, at a minimum, on an annual basis. Financials plans are generally reviewed based on the arrangement between the IAR and client. IARs who have entered into an ongoing planning arrangement with a client generally review plans either on an annual basis or as changes to the client’s financial circumstances occur. Clients are informed that if their investment objectives or financial condition change during the course of their investment program they should notify their IAR or Cadaret Grant. This notification will trigger an account review. An IAR can introduce advisory clients to third party money managers or other investment advisory firms. These sponsors provide reporting, monitoring, and review services as described in their respective contracts with the client. Within TIMS and TIMS II, Cadaret Grant provides IARs and their clients with quarterly reports detailing performance, activity in the account, and account holdings. Within this program, the 48  custodian of the client’s account will provide written confirmation of buy and sell activity, as well as a statement (at least quarterly) detailing all account activity and positions owned. At a minimum, all clients receiving investment supervisory services will receive a monthly and/or quarterly appraisal and an activity report provided by Cadaret Grant, the custodian, and/or other investment advisory firm. These reports do not include written commentary about the client’s account. Item 14 - Client Referrals and Other Compensation As discussed below and elsewhere in this Brochure, Cadaret Grant receives compensation, which can be substantial, from various parties in connection with providing services to clients. In many instances, this compensation is in addition to any advisory fees that clients pay and is not passed on or credited to clients unless otherwise noted. When evaluating the reasonability of Cadaret Grant’s fees, a client should not consider just the advisory fees Cadaret Grant charges, but also the other compensation Cadaret Grant receives. As further described in Item 12 - Brokerage Practices, Cadaret Grant receives compensation from Pershing in various forms, including: transition assistance, growth assistance credits, markups to transaction and account activity fees, margin interest, revenue from cash sweep programs, credit interest, and volume discounts on trading costs based on the number of trades processed on the Pershing platform. We also receive economic benefits through our relationships with Schwab based on a level of assets placed on their platform. IAR Compensation Cadaret Grant pays your IAR compensation of various types. We compensate our IARs pursuant to independent contractor agreements. IAR compensation includes a portion of the advisory fee you pay us, which may be more or less than what your IAR would receive at another advisory firm. An IAR who earns over an annual threshold amount is eligible for a percentage payout increase on future compensation. In addition, we offer financial incentives, in the form of cash bonuses and forgivable (“compensatory”) loans, to reward IARs for increasing their assets serviced or annual revenue. Certain IARs are employed by another financial services company or individual providing financial services from which these IARs receive a salary or bonus for their services in addition to their Cadaret Grant compensation. Whenever compensation is based on assets serviced or annual revenue, an IAR has a conflict of interest and financial incentive to meet those revenue or asset levels in order to receive increased compensation, including by encouraging you to increase the amount of assets in your account. In some cases, we pay a portion of a IAR’s compensation to an IAR’s designated supervisor(s). This creates a conflict of interest because the compensation affects the designated supervisor’s ability to provide objective supervision of the IAR. Cadaret Grant and our designated supervisors have an obligation to supervise IARs and may decide to terminate an IAR’s association with Cadaret Grant based on performance, a disciplinary event, or other factors. The amount of assets serviced or revenue generated by an IAR creates a conflict of interest when considering whether to terminate an IAR. Other Benefits IARs who meet internal criteria (which includes, but is not limited to, revenue generated from sales of products and services) are eligible to receive certain benefits pursuant to special incentive 49  programs. These benefits include eligibility for practice management support and enhanced service support levels that confer a variety of benefits, conferences (e.g., for education, networking, training, and personal and professional development), and other non-cash compensation. These benefits also include free or reduced cost marketing materials, reimbursement or credits of fees that IARs pay to Cadaret Grant for items such as administrative services or technology, and payments that can be in the form of repayable or compensatory loans (e.g., for retention purposes or to assist an IAR grow his or her advisory practice). The availability of these benefits presents a conflict of interest because an IAR has an incentive to recommend to clients our investment products and services and to remain with Cadaret Grant to receive these benefits. Recruitment Compensation and Operational Assistance Cadaret Grant provides recruitment compensation and other financial incentives to IARs transitioning from other financial services firms to Cadaret Grant. This transition assistance includes payments that are intended to assist an IAR with costs associated with the transition; however, we do not verify that any payments made are actually used by an IAR for transition costs. Transition assistance payments can be used for a variety of purposes such as providing working capital to assist in funding an IAR’s business, offsetting account transfer fees payable to the custodian as a result of the clients transitioning to Cadaret Grant’s platforms, technology set- up fees, marketing, mailing and stationery costs, registration and licensing fees, moving and office space expenses, staffing support, and termination fees associated with moving accounts. These payments can be in the form of repayable and/or compensatory loans, and are subject to favorable interest rate terms, as compared to other lenders. In the case of compensatory loans, the loans are forgiven if an IAR continues his or her association with Cadaret Grant for a certain period of time or if the IAR meets other conditions, which can include a requirement to maintain a certain level of assets or generate a certain amount of revenue at Cadaret Grant. An IARs receipt of a loan from Cadaret Grant presents a conflict of interest in that the IAR has a financial incentive to maintain a relationship with Cadaret Grant and recommend Cadaret Grant to clients. The amount of recruitment compensation provided by Cadaret Grant is often substantial in relation to the overall revenue earned or compensation received by an IAR at his or her prior firm. Such recruitment compensation is typically based on a percentage of an IAR's business established at their prior firm, for example, a percentage of the revenue earned, or assets serviced at the prior firm, or on the size of the assets that transition to Cadaret Grant. Recruitment compensation provided to IARs does not directly benefit clients. You should consider the recruitment compensation your IAR receives in evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation arrangement between you, your IAR, and Cadaret Grant. Growth Incentives Cadaret Grant provides financial incentives to reward IARs for increasing their assets serviced or annual revenue by specific amounts in the form of cash bonuses and compensatory loans. Conflicts of Interest A conflict of interest is created when Cadaret Grant provides financial incentives to IARs for moving assets to Cadaret Grant or increasing their assets serviced or annual revenue at Cadaret Grant. The conflict of interest is due to the IAR having a financial incentive to maintain his or her 50  relationship with Cadaret Grant, transition assets to Cadaret Grant, and recommend investment products or services that generate more revenue as compared to other investments in order to receive a benefit or payment. We attempt to mitigate these conflicts by reviewing our client accounts and transactions to ensure that we have a reasonable basis to believe the recommended services and transactions are consistent with a client’s stated goals, objectives, preferences, and needs and are in a client’s best interest. However, you should be aware of this conflict and take it into consideration in deciding whether to establish or maintain a relationship with Cadaret Grant and your IAR. Further information about Cadaret Grant and your IAR’s source of compensation and conflicts of interest is described in our Brokerage Services Disclosure Summary on our website under Disclosures (cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/). Continuing Compensation Cadaret Grant makes available a program to provide continuing compensation to an IAR’s estate/heirs upon the IAR’s death or retirement (“inactive IAR”). Continuing compensation includes recurring advisory fees and brokerage commissions received by Cadaret Grant attributable to accounts established by the inactive IAR during his or her association with the firm. To ensure continuity, an IAR names a qualified successor IAR to provide ongoing services to his or her clients. The successor IAR shares an agreed percentage of the ongoing compensation with the inactive IAR’s estate/heirs for up to five years. Program eligibility is based on minimum tenure and other qualification standards established by Cadaret Grant. Indirect Compensation and Revenue Sharing Cadaret Grant receives compensation and/or fees (also referred to as revenue sharing or marketing support) from certain mutual fund sponsors (including money market funds), insurance (fixed and variable product) issuers, UIT, ETF, alternative investments, and structured product sponsors, and unaffiliated investment advisers that sponsor, manage, and/or promote the sale of certain products that are available to our clients. Product sponsors and third- party money managers (“Partners”) pay this compensation to Cadaret Grant in what we call our Partners Program. Partners pay different amounts of revenue sharing and receive different levels of benefits for their payments. These payments can be substantial and, as such, create a conflict of interest for Cadaret Grant because the payments constitute additional revenue to Cadaret Grant and can influence the selection of investments and services Cadaret Grant and/or our IARs offer or recommend to clients. Cadaret Grant seeks to mitigate this conflict of interest by not sharing revenue sharing payments with our IARs. An IAR’s compensation is the same regardless of whether a sale involves a Partners Program product or service. In some cases, Partners pay additional marketing payments to Cadaret Grant to cover fees to attend conferences or reimburse expenses for workshops or seminars. The payments made under the Partners Program are based either on gross sales or assets under management, or on a flat fee arrangement, and vary by Partner. When Partners pay a flat fee (or marketing allowance) it is negotiated annually. This payment assists with costs related to education, training, conference attendance, reimbursement for workshops or seminars and marketing materials for our IARs. We do not share any marketing allowance with our IARs. The benefits Partners receive include IAR contact lists, business metrics, preferred placement on our website, participation in product training initiatives and marketing and sales campaigns, and the ability to participate in our conferences. 51  We use the revenue from our Partners to support certain marketing, training, and educational initiatives including our conferences and events. The conferences and events provide a venue to communicate new products and services to our registered representatives and IARs, to offer training to them and their support staff, and keep them abreast of regulatory requirements. The revenue is also used to pay for annual awards for our registered representatives and IARs who generate the most revenue overall and to pay for our general marketing expenses. A Cadaret Grant registered representative or IAR who earns total compensation over a threshold amount receives an award, in the form of a trophy, medal, or plaque, and is invited to attend Cadaret Grant’s top producer conference. Revenue from the Partners helps to pay for the top producer conference costs. Top producing Cadaret Grant registered representatives and IARs receive an award based on total revenues, including but not limited to sales of Partner’s mutual funds, annuities, structured products, and ETFs. We prepare and make available to our IARs a quarterly list of Partners’ mutual funds and ETFs that have been screened for investment performance against other Partners’ funds with similar objectives and asset classes (the “Select Fund List” or “List”). Cadaret Grant and our IARs have a conflict of interest when an IAR chooses or recommends an investment from the Select Fund List for your portfolio because Cadaret Grant receives payments from the mutual fund or ETF sponsor. Our receipt of such payments influences our selection of mutual funds and ETFs, as our IRAs are likely to recommend a fund or ETF whose sponsor pays us revenue sharing fees over a fund or ETF whose sponsor does not pay us. You do not pay more to purchase funds from the List through Cadaret Grant than you would pay to purchase these funds through another broker-dealer, and your IAR does not receive additional compensation for selecting a fund from the List. IARs are not required to choose or recommend investments from the Select Fund List. Cadaret Grant also receives compensation from certain TPIAs to assist in paying for ongoing marketing and sales support activities including training, educational meetings, due diligence reviews, and day-to-day marketing and/or promotional activities. Not all TPIAs pay such compensation and participating TPIAs change over time. The compensation arrangements vary and are generally structured as a fixed dollar amount or as a percentage of sales or assets under management with the adviser. A conflict of interest exists where Cadaret Grant receives such compensation because there is an incentive to recommend these TPIAs over other investment advisers to generate additional revenue for the firm. However, our IARs are not required to recommend any TPIA providing additional compensation, nor do they directly share in any of this compensation. Our IARs receive additional compensation from product sponsors. However, such compensation is not tied to the sales of any products. Compensation includes such items as gifts valued at less than $100 annually, an occasional dinner or ticket to a sporting event, or reimbursement in connection with educational meetings or marketing or advertising initiatives, including services for identifying prospects. Product sponsors sometimes also pay for or reimburse us for the costs associated with education or training events that are attended by our IARs and for Cadaret Grant- sponsored conferences and events. We also receive reimbursement from product sponsors for technology-related costs associated with investment proposal tools they make available to our IARs for use with clients. To see Cadaret Grant’s Third-Party Fee Disclosure, which identifies the participants in the Partners Program along with revenue sharing arrangements by product type, please visit the 52  Disclosure section of our website at cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/. Client Referrals From time to time, Cadaret Grant and/or its IARs enter into arrangements with clients, third parties or other financial intermediaries for lead generation, client referrals or solicitation for program accounts (collectively, “solicitation arrangements”). These solicitation arrangements range from largely impersonal referrals to specific client introductions to Cadaret Grant and its IARs. Under solicitation arrangements, the third parties and financial intermediaries are independent contractors. In most cases, third parties are not advisory clients of Cadaret Grant and do not refer clients based on their experience with Cadaret Grant as advisory clients. The compensation paid under the solicitation arrangements is structured in various ways, including a one-time fee, a flat fee per lead or referral, and sharing a portion of the ongoing advisory fee. Cadaret Grant and its IARs have generally entered referral networks operated by third parties. Referral networks present potential clients with a list of possible investing firms and investment advisory representatives, or direct potential clients specifically only to Cadaret Grant and its IARs. Some referral networks receive a flat fee per referral and/or an ongoing fee, while others share a portion of the ongoing advisory fee. Depending on the solicitor’s arrangement with Cadaret Grant, a solicitor may not be compensated for referring a client who opens a brokerage account rather than an advisory account, and as a result may encourage the client to open an advisory account instead of a brokerage account. Solicitation arrangements give rise to material conflicts of interest because the referring party has a financial incentive to introduce new investment advisory clients to Cadaret Grant and its IARs. Solicitors may also have other conflicts of interest with respect to a particular IAR or may be associated with Cadaret Grant in another way. Clients who are introduced to Cadaret Grant and its IARs through a solicitation arrangement receive specific disclosures at the time of the introduction. If you receive such disclosures, you should review them carefully to understand the details of Cadaret Grant’s arrangements with the person introducing you to Cadaret Grant. Cadaret Grant’s participation in these referral arrangements does not diminish its fiduciary obligations to its clients. Cadaret Grant and its IARs can offer advisory services on the premises of unaffiliated financial institutions, like banks or credit unions. In such a case, Cadaret Grant will enter into networking agreement with a financial institution pursuant to which we share compensation, including a portion of the advisory fee, with the financial institution for the use of the financial institution’s facilities and for client referrals. Item 15 - Custody Cadaret Grant has limited custody of clients’ funds and/or securities when clients authorize us to deduct our management fees directly from the client’s account. Cadaret Grant is also deemed to have custody of a client’s funds and/or securities when a client has on file a standing letter of authorization (“SLOA”) with the account custodian to move money from a client’s account to a third party and under the SLOA authorizes us to designate, based on your standing instructions (which you may change or terminate), the amount or timing of the transfers. Cadaret Grant also engages in other practices and/or services on behalf of our clients where we are deemed to have custody of a client’s funds and/or securities, such as our IARs acting as trustees or executors to an estate. Cadaret Grant complies with the SEC’s Custody Rule including engaging an independent public accountant to verify funds and securities of which it is deemed to have custody 53  at least once a year. Cadaret Grant has an arrangement with Custodians to provide clearance and custody of accounts. The Custodian: (a) maintains custody of all account assets, (b) executes and performs clearance of purchase and sale orders in accounts, and (c) performs all custodial functions customarily performed with respect to securities brokerage accounts, including but not limited to the crediting of interest and dividends on account assets. The Custodian delivers client account statements as well as confirmation of each purchase and sale to you. In Contour, you can agree in writing to receive transaction information at least quarterly via a quarterly confirmation report in lieu of a trade-by-trade confirmation, where there is an allowable option. Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM accounts are not eligible to receive the quarterly confirmation report as this option is only available for wrap fee, discretionary accounts. The Custodian acts as the general administrator of each account, which includes collecting account fees on Cadaret Grant’s behalf and processing, pursuant to Cadaret Grant’s instructions, deposits to and withdrawals from the account. The Custodians do not assist clients in selecting Cadaret Grant or any investment objective or in determining suitability. You retain ownership of all cash, securities, and other instruments in the account. In connection with Retirement Plan Services, Cadaret Grant does not serve as a custodian for plan assets. The plan sponsor is responsible for selecting the custodian. We may be listed as the contact for the plan account held at an investment sponsor or custodian. The plan sponsor will complete account paperwork with the outside custodian that provides the custodian’s name and address. The custodian for plan assets is responsible for providing the plan with periodic confirmations and statements. The plan sponsor should review the statements and reports received directly from the custodian or investment sponsor. NFS acts as the custodian for retirement plan participants in the Fidelity Retirement Investment Advisory Program to maintain custody of plan assets and to effect trades for their accounts. You should receive at least quarterly statements from the Custodian. We urge you to compare the holdings listed on the custodian’s statement to those listed on reports Cadaret Grant or your IAR provides. If you have a question about a discrepancy, you should direct it to your IAR. If the IAR is unable to adequately address your concern, you should contact Cadaret Grant at the phone number on the cover page of this Brochure. In some instances, clients participate in TPIA programs that are not sponsored by Cadaret Grant. In those situations, clearance and custody of securities is determined by the program sponsor. You should refer to the sponsor’s Form ADV Part 2A for complete details regarding those programs. Item 16 - Investment Discretion Your account is managed on a discretionary basis only with your written consent. Consent is granted and evidenced in the agreement signed when you become a client. We define discretion as: the ability to trade an account, without obtaining your prior consent, the securities and amount of securities to be bought or sold, and the timing of the purchase or sale. Neither Cadaret Grant nor an IAR has the authority to withdraw or transfer funds or securities from your account. Discretionary authorization remains in effect until your client services agreement is terminated. IARs who use the TIMS II program can provide discretionary account management services. Discretion is granted to an IAR when the advisory client signs the TIMS II Client Agreement. Once discretion has been granted, the IAR manages the client’s account and determines what securities to hold, sell, exchange, and invest, and otherwise deal with the account’s assets in a manner the 54  IAR determines to be for the client’s best interest without obtaining the client’s consent prior to each transaction. IARs using the TIMS program implement trades on a discretionary basis except for general securities (stocks, bonds, and options), which are executed on a non-discretionary basis. An IAR will consult with a client before effecting general securities transactions. Contour accounts are managed on a limited discretionary basis to invest, reinvest, and otherwise deal with Platform Assets with discretion granted to: (a) the IAR in APM and the FSP Program; (b) each SMA Manager in the SMA Program; (c) each Sub-Manager for assets allocated to it, and (d) to IAR for assets allocated to Other Investments according to Client’s Investment Profile and to select and allocate assets among Model Providers and Sub-Managers. Such discretionary authority allows the authorized party to make all investment decisions with respect to the Account and, when it deems appropriate and without prior consultation with Client, to buy, sell, exchange, convert, and otherwise trade Platform Assets. In addition, with respect to the UMA and FSP Programs, Client hereby grants (a) IAR limited discretionary authority that IAR may delegate to Envestnet in its capacity as overlay manager; and (b) the IAR limited discretionary authority to replace Model Providers and Sub-Managers (UMA Program only) in accordance with the Client’s previously determined client profile and risk tolerance information. Your IAR has limited discretion to change your investment strategies, Model Providers and/or Sub-Managers within the same profile risk tolerance to a lower tolerance without your approval so long as there is no fee increase; however, to increase your risk tolerance or fees, your IAR will obtain your written consent. Item 17 - Voting Client Securities Neither Cadaret Grant nor its IARs will take any action nor give any advice with respect to voting of proxies solicited by, or with respect to, the issuers of securities in which your assets are invested. In Contour, you authorize SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, or Envestnet, as applicable, in writing to exercise discretion in voting or otherwise acting on all matters for which a security holder vote, consent, election or similar action is solicited by, or with respect to, issuers of securities beneficially held as part of the Platform Assets in SMA or UMA accounts. You can revoke this authority by providing written instructions. Unless you agree in writing to proxy delegation, all proxy materials will be sent directly to you. Any proxy materials inadvertently received by Cadaret Grant or our IARs will be forwarded to you for direct action and you retain the right to vote such proxies solicited for securities held in the investment advisory account. You can obtain a copy of our proxy voting policies and procedures upon request, by contacting Cadaret Grant at the phone number on the front of this Brochure. Item 18 - Financial Information Cadaret Grant is not required to include a balance sheet in this Brochure because we do not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. 55  There is no financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair Cadaret Grant’s ability to meet contractual commitments to its clients. Cadaret Grant has never been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. 56

(“Cadaret Grant,” “we,” or “us”), was formed in 1985 and is a Delaware corporation. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of AWS 4, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atria Wealth Solutions, Inc., (“Atria”) a Delaware corporation, which is in turn wholly owned by LPL Holdings, Inc., which is owned 100% by LPL Financial Holdings Inc., a publicly held company. Cadaret Grant is registered as a broker-dealer and investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Cadaret Grant is also licensed as an insurance agency in 50 states. Our principal business is providing a full line of services as a registered securities broker-dealer and investment adviser. In our capacity as a broker -dealer, we are involved in the sale of securities of various types including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, alternative investments, unit investment trusts (“UITs”), and variable annuities. We do not sell proprietary products. As of December 31, 2024, Cadaret Grant had regulatory assets under management of $7,671,069,034. Of that amount, $126,965,834 was managed on a non-discretionary basis and $7,544,103,200 was managed on a discretionary basis. Our investment advisory services (“Advisory Services”) are made available to clients through individuals associated with Cadaret Grant as investment adviser representatives (“IARs”). Many IARs are dually licensed (i.e., they are licensed both as IARs and as registered representatives and offer both investment advisory and brokerage services), which, in addition to Advisory Services, allows them to offer commission-based products. Your IAR will disclose to you whether he or she is dually licensed and if there are any limitations on services offered due to registrations and qualifications. Cadaret Grant offers clients a variety of advisory programs, including the Contour advisory platform (“Contour”), which includes both wrap fee (as described in this Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure (“Contour Brochure”)) and non-wrap fee programs (please see “Fees” below for an explanation of these differences). This Contour Brochure describes the Contour platform, focusing on the Contour wrap fee program, with certain clarifying information about the non-wrap fee option. For more information about Cadaret Grant’s advisory services and programs other than the Contour wrap fee program, including the Contour non-wrap fee program, please contact your IAR for a copy of our Form ADV Part 2A brochure that describes our other services and programs or go to www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. Cadaret Grant does not maintain physical possession of the assets of any accounts. Contour accounts are custodied with an unaffiliated custodian designated by a client after consultation with an IAR. Custodial options include Pershing LLC (“Pershing”), Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), and any other custodian Cadaret Grant chooses to make available (hereinafter referred to as “Custodian”). Services Contour is a discretionary advisory platform (“Platform”) sponsored by Cadaret Grant, offering both wrap fee and non-wrap fee options. Cadaret Grant has entered into an agreement with Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“Envestnet”), a registered investment adviser, to provide administrative services for the Platform and Contour accounts. Cadaret Grant has designated Custodians to execute and clear transactions, custody assets, Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  and deliver statements and confirmations to you, as applicable. Neither Envestnet nor Custodians are affiliated with Cadaret Grant. Additionally, Envestnet provides an electronic performance reporting system which permits an IAR to create performance reports on demand in addition to preparing quarterly performance reports that will be provided to you. Contour is comprised of multiple Platform program options: Allowable Assets Program Options Program Description Transaction Fees Minimum Account Size $25,000 Traditional discretionary IAR directed program Wrap or Non- Wrap Mutual funds, ETFs, options (limited to covered calls and purchases), fee based UITs, equities, bonds, structured notes, and fee- based annuities Advisor as Portfolio Manager (“APM”) ETFs, mutual funds and money market funds As low as $2,000 (manager dependent) Fund Strategist Portfolios (“FSP”) Discretionary advisory program comprised of ETF and/or Mutual Fund Models Wrap $100,000 ETFs, exchange traded notes and exchange traded vehicles, mutual funds, equities and bonds Wrap Separately Managed Accounts (“SMA”) Separately managed account program using third-party investment advisers $100,000 ETFs, exchange traded notes and exchange traded vehicles, mutual funds, fee-based UITs, annuities, equities and bonds Wrap Unified Managed Accounts (“UMA”) Unified managed account program with Model Providers, Sub- Managers and Other Investments Your IAR will confer with you to determine your financial needs and objectives and gather your client profile and risk tolerance information to complete a Statement of Investment Selection (“SIS”). The information gathered from the risk tolerance questionnaire (“RTQ”), or an approved financial planning tool, assists in determining a recommended allocation of your assets into an asset allocation model fitting one of seven investment profiles: Capital Preservation, Conservative, Conservative Growth, Moderate, Moderate Growth, Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Growth, or Aggressive. Your IAR will obtain your written consent to change your investment profile risk tolerance. Your IAR will assist you in selecting one of the four program options to implement the portfolio. Your IAR will create a proposal (“Proposal”) including your investment profile questionnaire responses, selected program option(s), and applicable fees. You, your IAR, and Cadaret Grant will enter into a Contour Platform Account Agreement (“Contour Agreement”) outlining your participation in the Platform. Contour accounts are managed on a limited discretionary basis to invest, reinvest, and otherwise deal with Platform Assets with discretion granted to: (a) the IAR in APM and the FSP Program; (b) each SMA Manager in the SMA Program; (c) each Sub-Manager for assets allocated to it, and (d) to IAR for assets allocated to Other Investments according to Client’s Investment Profile and to select and allocate assets among Model Providers and Sub-Managers. Such discretionary authority allows the authorized party to make all investment decisions with respect to the Account and, when it deems appropriate and without prior consultation with Client, to buy, sell, exchange, convert, and otherwise trade Platform Assets. In addition, with respect to the UMA and FSP Programs, Client hereby grants (a) IAR limited discretionary authority that IAR may delegate to Envestnet in its capacity as overlay manager subject to the terms set forth above; and (b) the IAR limited discretionary authority to replace Model Providers and Sub-Managers (UMA Program only) in accordance with the Client’s previously determined client profile and risk tolerance information. Your IAR has limited discretion to change your investment strategies, Model Providers and/or Sub-Managers within the same profile risk tolerance to a lower tolerance without your approval so long as there is no fee increase; however, to increase your risk tolerance or fees, your IAR will obtain your written consent. Advisor as Portfolio Manager (“APM”) APM is a program within the Platform designed to provide investment advice through an IAR for a fee based on the value of your Platform assets. Currently, APM is the only Contour program we offer as both wrap fee or non-wrap fee. Acting under the Contour Agreement, your IAR establishes an account at a Custodian for the purpose of creating a portfolio to be managed by your IAR on a discretionary basis. Envestnet has no discretion over assets managed in the APM and is not providing investment advice to you. At the inception of the relationship, your IAR uses the investment profile based on your RTQ or a firm approved financial planning tool to select portfolio securities based on an asset allocation model. Your IAR will enter transaction orders consistent with your investment profile, risk tolerance, and objectives. Currently, the list of approved investments for the APM includes mutual funds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), options (limited to covered calls and purchases), fee- based unit investment trusts (“UITs”), equities, bonds, structured products, and other securities. If your IAR is dually licensed with Cadaret Grant, your IAR’s selection of investments in APM will be limited by the FINRA registrations held by your IAR. If your IAR only holds the Series 6, Investment Company and Variable Contracts Products registration, your IAR will implement the IAR-directed model portfolio strategy using only mutual funds and/or fee-based annuities. Because of the account’s discretionary nature, your IAR has full judgment over the selection and amount of investments to be purchased or sold in the account, without obtaining your prior consent or approval. Once a portfolio is constructed, your IAR monitors the account and rebalances the portfolio as changes in market conditions and client circumstances warrant. For additional information about the non-wrap fee version of this program, please see our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure. Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Fund Strategist Portfolios (“FSP”) FSP, a wrap fee only program, is designed to provide discretionary investment advice through a roster of third- party strategists, managed ETF and/or mutual fund models. The model portfolios are managed for a fee based on the value of your Platform assets. Acting under the Contour Agreement, your IAR establishes an account at a Custodian to be invested in one of the ETF or mutual fund models available in the program. Your responses to the RTQ or financial plan will assist in determining which of the models is appropriate based on your investment objectives, time horizon and risk tolerance. Once an asset allocation model has been selected, you will grant your IAR limited discretionary authority so that IAR may delegate to Envestnet (in its capacity as overlay manager) discretionary authority to: • Invest the assets in the Program account in accordance with the selected ETF or mutual fund model strategies; • Make changes to the asset allocations, as deemed appropriate; and • Rebalance the assets when needed. Changes in the asset allocation model, which include adding, removing, or replacing securities, are made based on a variety of factors as dictated by the strategist, including but not limited to, changes in economic, financial, market, and/or political conditions. At the inception of an account, FSP assets are invested in ETF and/or mutual fund models determined in accordance with set target percentages of the total assets in the account. Thereafter, as markets fluctuate and values change, amounts originally allocated to an ETF and/or mutual fund model will either exceed or fall below the original target allocations. Envestnet will periodically adjust model allocations back to the original asset targets, or “rebalance” the account. However, models are not rebalanced constantly, and asset allocations will drift away from their original target percentages before Envestnet, within its authority and judgment, brings those allocations back in line with the original percentages. The selected strategist is responsible for monitoring the models and rebalancing each model as changes in market conditions warrant. Envestnet trades and rebalances FSP accounts based solely on strategist models and directives. The tax consequences of ETF ownership differ from those of mutual funds. Held in taxable accounts, ETFs can be more tax efficient compared to traditional mutual funds. Generally, holding an ETF in a taxable account will generate less tax liabilities than if you held a similarly structured mutual fund in the same account. If you are concerned with tax efficiency, you should discuss this with your IAR or your tax advisor. Separately Managed Accounts (“SMA”) SMA, a wrap fee only program, is a program designed to provide investment advice through other investment advisers (“SMA Managers”) for a fee based on the value of your Platform assets. SMA Managers have been selected by Cadaret Grant to provide portfolio investment management services and have entered into a participation agreement with Envestnet. Each selected SMA Manager has discretion to invest the assets in exchange traded products such as ETFs, exchange traded notes and exchange traded vehicles, mutual funds, equities, bonds, and other securities. At the inception of the relationship, the IAR uses the information from your RTQ or financial plan to Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  recommend an SMA Manager whose strategies are appropriate for you based on your objectives and profile. Acting under the Contour Agreement, the IAR establishes an account at a Custodian for the purpose of creating a portfolio to be managed by an SMA Manager on a discretionary basis. The SMA Manager manages the account according to the SMA Manager’s strategies and your reasonable restrictions, if any. The SMA Manager can, in its sole discretion, decline to accept a client for any reason. Because of the account’s discretionary nature, the SMA Manager has full authority over the selection and amount of investments to be purchased or sold in the account, without obtaining your prior consent or approval. Once a model portfolio is constructed, the SMA Manager monitors the account and rebalances the portfolio as changes in market conditions and client circumstances warrant. For additional information about an SMA Manager please see their Form ADV Part 2A Brochure. Unified Managed Accounts (“UMA”) UMA, a wrap fee only program, is designed to provide you with access to various investment strategies, including model strategies provided by one or more model providers (“Model Providers”) and other available investments, such as ETFs, stocks and mutual funds (“Other Investments”) via a single Unified Managed Account (“UMA”). Individual Sub-Managers who manage and place trades for the sleeves (portion of an account) allocated to the Sub-Manager are an available option for certain strategies if selected and designated in the SIS. Model Providers and Sub-Managers are selected for UMA participation in Contour by Cadaret Grant and enter into a contractual relationship with Envestnet. Your IAR is granted authority to select and allocate assets among the Model Providers and Sub-Managers according to your risk tolerance. Your IAR is also granted limited discretionary authority to invest, reinvest and otherwise deal with assets allocated to Other Investments in your UMA according to your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and time horizon determined by the RTQ or financial plan. Cadaret Grant has entered into an agreement with Envestnet to act as the overlay manager for UMA by implementing trade orders and periodically updating and rebalancing each Model Portfolio pursuant to the direction of the Model Provider and IAR. Envestnet is granted limited discretionary trading authority with respect to assets in your UMA based on the selected models; to implement model changes; and to rebalance accounts pursuant to target allocations and program trading parameters established by Cadaret Grant. Envestnet will allocate assets across the investment choices available in UMA, in a manner consistent with your instructions, or in the case of Other Investments, your IAR’s instructions, without regard to Envestnet’s own assessment of such investment choices in circumstances where Envestnet has the authority to recommend or select them. No allocation of your assets to a particular model strategy or Other Investment should be considered an approval or endorsement by Envestnet of such model strategy or Other Investment. When a Model Provider makes a change to a model strategy, Envestnet will implement changes to the UMA accounts at its sole discretion. Except as described below, with respect to such changes, Envestnet’s sole authority with respect to individual security selection is to carry out the client’s or IAR’s directions through implementation of the model portfolios provided by the model providers (“Model Portfolios”). Envestnet does not make any individual security decision on a client’s behalf other than such decisions necessary to implement changes to the Model Portfolios, or if applicable to reject any or all changes to a model strategy. Envestnet and Cadaret Grant retain the authority to terminate or change Model Providers and to remove or replace Other Investments from the UMA. Assets from a removed or modified model strategy can be automatically reallocated for investment among the other models currently held within a UMA. Envestnet is authorized to allocate assets from an unavailable Other Investment to cash except as otherwise directed by your IAR. This replacement process will be subject to the usual and customary settlement procedures and can have tax consequences. Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  For additional information about an SMA Manager, Model Provider, or Sub-Manager, please refer to their Form ADV Part 2A Brochure. Envestnet also provides optional overlay services for an additional fee related to specific client objectives that could include tax management, ESG or socially responsible screening, or other portfolio customization to be outlined on the SIS. Envestnet’s Portfolio Consulting Group, Envestnet PMC™, is a Model Provider for the UMA. Envestnet PMC acts in the same capacity as other Model Providers and creates Model Portfolios based on its proprietary research. Cadaret Grant and your IAR are responsible for gathering client information; selecting Model Providers and Sub-Managers, Model Portfolios, and Other Investments; and determining if one or more Model Portfolio(s) or Other Investments selected are suitable for the client. Envestnet can choose not to accept a UMA client in its sole discretion. IRA Rollover Considerations If you decide to roll assets out of a retirement plan into a Contour individual retirement account (“IRA”), Cadaret Grant and your IAR have a financial incentive to recommend that you invest those assets in Contour, because Cadaret Grant and your IAR will be paid on those assets, for example, through advisory fees. You should be aware that such fees likely will be higher than those you pay through your plan, and there can be custodial and other maintenance fees. The following fiduciary acknowledgement applies only when our IAR (i) provides investment advice to participants in or the fiduciaries of ERISA-covered retirement plans and to owners of IRAs, and (ii) recommends to participants in ERISA-covered retirement plans or owners of IRAs to make a rollover to an IRA. When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or IRA, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title I of ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. Fiduciary status for this purpose does not necessarily mean we are acting as fiduciaries for purposes of other applicable laws. This acknowledgement of fiduciary status does not confer contractual rights or obligations on you, Cadaret Grant, or the IAR. Fees The Contour Program is offered as either an account with separate advisory fees and transaction charges (“Non- Wrap Fee”), or as an account where no separate transaction charges apply, and a single fee is paid for all advisory services and transactions (“Wrap Fee”). The Contour APM program is offered under both Wrap and Non-Wrap Fee arrangements. The FSP, SMA, and UMA Programs are only offered under Wrap Fee arrangements. If you select the Wrap Fee option, you will pay a single account fee that is inclusive of ticket charges for the purchase and sale of securities. Please consider that depending upon the level of the account fee charged, the amount of portfolio activity in your account, the value of services that are provided under the program, and other factors, the account fee may or may not exceed the aggregate cost of such services if they were to be provided separately. Our policy and procedures are designed to ensure our IARs recommend Wrap Fee advisory accounts only for actively managed accounts. The Wrap Fee option offers a bundled charge that is inclusive of transactional (i.e., trading) costs and Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  is meant to be utilized by investors who have an intention to actively trade their account. A Non-Wrap Fee account is generally more cost-effective for you if you do not intend to actively trade your account. While there is no precise determinant for an actively traded account, if you are engaging in a small number of transactions per year, you should discuss in detail with your IAR if a wrap-account is appropriate for your needs. Please see our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure for more information on Non-Wrap Fee accounts. The fees for participation in Contour are based on an annual percentage of your Platform assets. The Total Fee is comprised of three components: (a) the Program Fee, (b) the Advisory Fee, and (c) if applicable, the Manager(s) Fee. The Manager Fee applies in the FSP, SMA, and UMA programs, but no Manager Fee is included in the APM program. The Program Fee includes execution, clearing, custody, and Cadaret Grant, Envestnet, and Custodian fees for Wrap Fee accounts when applicable. The Program Fee is assessed in each of the program options and is non- negotiable. A discounted Program Fee is available for certain IARs that meet the qualifications. The discount will be based upon the aggregated assets under management from all clients your IAR and their branch office maintains in all Cadaret Grant sponsored advisory programs. The discount ranges can be a partial or full reduction of the Program Fee. If your IAR receives a discounted Program Fee, your IAR’s compensation will increase or decrease by the amount of the discount received, but your Total Fee and cost will remain unchanged. The Advisory Fee compensates your IAR for assisting in the design, implementation, and ongoing monitoring of your investment plan. The Advisory Fee is negotiated between you and your IAR but will not exceed 2.25% in APM and 2.00% in FSP, SMA and UMA, except in connection with annuity subaccount management in APM, the Advisory Fee will not exceed 1%. The Advisory Fee charged depends upon a number of factors including the amount of the assets under management, the nature and extent of other account relationships between you and your IAR, the nature and complexity of the model portfolios, and other factors that the IAR deems relevant. The Advisory Fee you negotiate will be different than the fees your IAR negotiates with other clients or the fees other IARs negotiate with other clients for similar services. Manager Fees apply in the FSP, SMA, and UMA. The Manager Fee in the SMA and UMA varies by the selected SMA Manager, Sub-Manager or Model Provider and ranges between 0.00% and 0.75% of your Platform Assets. In the UMA, if your account has more than one Model Provider or Sub-Manager, the effective Manager Fee will be a blend of all Model Providers’ and/or Sub- Managers’ fees weighted by the dollar amount invested in each Model Portfolio. SMA Managers or Model Providers who charge no, or a nominal fee are typically compensated by advisory fees from the propriety funds the SMA Managers or Model Providers include in their models. In the FSP, the Manager Fee ranges from 0% to 0.50% depending on the portfolio selected. Manager Fees are non-negotiable. The Total Fee is billed and collected monthly or quarterly in advance as noted on the SIS. For accounts billed quarterly, the Total Fee is calculated at the beginning of each calendar quarter based on the fair market value of your Platform assets, including money market funds, interest, and reinvested dividends in the account, on the last business day of the prior calendar quarter. For accounts billed monthly, the Total Fee is calculated at the beginning of each month based on the fair market value of your Platform assets, including money market funds, interest, and reinvested dividends in the account, on the last business day of the prior calendar month. The Custodian determines fair market value for fee calculation purposes. Fees are automatically deducted from your account, or from another billable account as directed by you. The first payment is prorated based on the number of calendar days in the billing period. If you invest or withdraw $10,000 or more in the account after the first day of a billing period, a prorated fee or rebate is calculated on each eligible deposit or withdrawal with adjustments applied the subsequent month. If the account is terminated prior to the end of the billing period, a pro rata portion of the Total Fee will be credited (refunded) to you. The fees deducted, including the dates and amounts, are reflected on the statements sent by Custodian. You should Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  review those statements and the fees deducted. Any questions on the fees deducted from your account should be directed to your IAR, or you may contact us at the number on the cover page of this Brochure. If you have more than one Platform account, your accounts can be “householded” aggregating your accounts for fee calculation purposes, which can help you qualify for a lower fee. A “household” is generally a group of accounts having the same address of record or same Social Security number. Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), SIMPLE IRAs and other personal retirement accounts generally can be combined for householding purposes; however, other retirement plan accounts subject to ERISA and charitable remainder trusts cannot be aggregated. Households are established through the IAR and must be requested by the client. Neither Cadaret Grant nor our IARs are responsible for identifying eligible accounts. A client is responsible for determining if they have eligible accounts and ensuring those accounts remain eligible. Cadaret Grant and our IARs earn higher fees if clients elect not to household eligible accounts where available. Clients should discuss the program fee and any potential fee reduction available through householding with their IAR.

Transaction Charges for Non-Wrap Accounts In addition to the asset management fees noted above you will pay transaction charges for all trades effected in a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account. We markup the transaction charges that Pershing charges us for Non- Wrap Fee Contour APM accounts custodied with Pershing, which is a source of additional revenue for Cadaret Grant. Although there are a number of factors considered in determining which custodian to use, the transaction charges associated with trades in a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account custodied at Pershing are higher than the transaction charges for a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account custodied at Schwab. The more transactions a client enters into, the more compensation we receive. This represents a conflict of interest due to the fact that we have a financial incentive to establish Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM accounts with Pershing rather than Schwab because of the additional revenue we receive. This revenue, however, is retained by Cadaret Grant and is not shared with your IAR, so your IAR does not have a financial incentive to recommend you open a Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM account custodied with Pershing rather than Schwab or engage in frequent transactions.

Transactions in Contour Wrap Fee accounts are executed for a single wrap fee, which reduces the conflict of interest associated with executing orders for accounts and earning transaction-based compensation in connection with each order. You should be aware that lower fees for comparable services could be available from other sources. If Pershing is the selected Custodian, a $10 mutual fund surcharge applies to purchases and redemptions of Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  certain mutual funds that do not otherwise compensate Pershing for administration and operational accounting related to fund ownership. Neither Cadaret Grant nor your IAR retain any portion of the mutual fund surcharge. A list of applicable funds is available upon request. Changes to Fees The Advisory Fee component of the Total Fee can only be increased with your written consent. Advisory Fee changes after the first day of the billing period will be effective on the next billing cycle and will not be prorated. Your IAR cannot negotiate or change the Program Fee or the Manager Fee. Cadaret Grant can change the Program Fee schedule at any time by giving prior written notice to you. Following the 30-day notice period, the new fee schedule will become effective unless you terminate the Contour Agreement. Your continued acceptance of services will constitute consent to changes in the Total Fee, including an increase in the amount charged, if any. Other Fees and Expenses In addition to the Wrap Fee or Non-Wrap Fee, you will pay individual retirement account (“IRA”) annual maintenance fees, tax-qualified plan trustee fees, certain custodial fees, and other ancillary charges within a Contour account, as applicable. You are charged for specific account services, such as account transfer fees, electronic fund and wire transfer charges, checking fees, paper statements and confirmations, and for other optional services elected by you on a per event basis. These fees are subject to the pricing schedule set by a Custodian and Cadaret Grant. Cadaret Grant receives a portion of certain of these fees for accounts in custody with Pershing, including where Cadaret Grant marks up the fee charged by Pershing, which can be substantial. Please review Brokerage Practices of this Brochure for additional information. Our receipt of custodial fees, including where we markup a fee, creates a conflict of interest for Cadaret Grant because the fees constitute additional revenue to us, and the amount can be substantial. To mitigate this conflict, we do not share custodial fee revenues with your IAR, and we do not require or incentivize IARs to recommend advisory programs be custodied with any custodian. Please refer to the Fee Schedule published in the disclosure section of our website for a detailed schedule of transaction fees and other brokerage costs (cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/) for a better understanding of where we receive additional compensation. You can elect to receive communications and documents from a Custodian, including confirmations and statements, electronically by enrolling, or registering online, pursuant to Custodian’s instructions for electronic delivery. Unless you authorize electronic delivery, the Custodian will deliver communications and documents to you via U.S. mail. If your account is in custody with Pershing, Pershing assesses a paper surcharge. Interest on all cash account delinquencies (Cash Due Interest) in your account is charged directly to your account at the then current rate. Transfer agent servicing fees, if any, are passed through to you and can vary based upon the transfer agent and position. Brokerage and other transaction costs incurred in Contour FSP, SMA, UMA, and APM Wrap Fee accounts are included in the Program Fee except as described below under “Additional Fees for Trades Executed at Other Broker-Dealers” and where Pershing is Custodian, mutual fund surcharges apply to certain funds designated by Pershing. Brokerage and other transactions costs incurred in Contour APM Non-Wrap Fee accounts are not included in the Program Fee as described above under “Transaction Charges for Non-Wrap Accounts”.

Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Additional Fees for Collective Investment Vehicles For accounts that contain collective investment vehicles (“Collective Investment Vehicles”), such as mutual funds, closed-end funds, UITs, ETFs, annuities, structured products, or publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITs), each Collective Investment Vehicle bears its own internal fees and expenses, such as fund operating expenses, management fees, redemption fees, regulatory fees, charges assessed by annuity issuers such as contract charges, contract maintenance charges, transfer charges, optional rider fees, subaccount management fees, and administrative expenses, short-term trading redemption fees, and other fees imposed by law. Collective Investment Vehicle fees and expenses are disclosed in the applicable prospectus, statement of additional information, or product description. None of these fees are shared with Cadaret Grant or your IAR. This compensation is in addition to the Total Fee resulting in increased costs to you. Some mutual funds assess redemption fees to investors upon the short-term sale of its funds. Depending on the mutual fund, this can include sales for rebalancing purposes. Please see the prospectus for the specific mutual fund for detailed information regarding such fees. In addition, you can incur redemption fees, when the portfolio manager to an investment strategy determines that it is in your overall interest, in conjunction with the stated goals of the investment strategy, to divest from certain Collective Investment Vehicles prior to the expiration of the collective investment vehicle’s minimum holding period. Depending on the length of the redemption period, the particular investment strategy, and/or market conditions, a portfolio manager may be able to minimize any redemption fees when, in the portfolio manager’s discretion, it is reasonable to allow you to remain invested in a Collective Investment Vehicle until expiration of the minimum holding period. Compensation Related to Mutual Funds and Other Investments Your IAR, in his/her separate capacity as a Cadaret Grant registered representative (i.e., as a broker) earns commissions from the sale of mutual funds, variable annuities, ETFs, and other securities. This results in a conflict of interest because Cadaret Grant and our IARs have an incentive to recommend investment products based on the compensation received rather than on a client’s needs. You are under no obligation to purchase investment products through Cadaret Grant or your IAR and you have the option to purchase the products we recommend through other financial services firms that are not affiliated with us. After considering your overall needs and objectives along with your preferences, your IAR can recommend that you convert from a commission-based account to a fee-based advisory account. We maintain policies and procedures to ensure a conversion from a commission-based account to fee-based advisory account is in your best interest. Among other things, we employ the following policies: • When Class A, B, or C shares of mutual funds are transferred into your Contour account, additional mutual fund purchases within the advisory account will be made at net asset value (NAV) or in adviser or institutional share classes, which do not include 12b-1 fees. Such purchases will not result in your payment of a commission in addition to the annual advisory fee. • Cadaret Grant will attempt to convert Class A, B, and C share mutual fund holdings in an advisory account to adviser or institutional class shares where available. In the event a tax-free conversion is unavailable or does not occur, 12b-1 fees received in fee-based accounts will be credited to your account. • If your Contour account is funded with a deposit of one or more open end mutual funds, UITs, or proceeds from the sale of open-end mutual funds or UITs, where Cadaret Grant was paid a sales charge in its capacity as a broker-dealer within one year of the initial billing date, you are entitled to a fee offset. The mutual fund fee offset varies depending on whether the mutual fund was subject to a front-end or a back-end sales charge. For mutual funds subject to a front-end sales charge, the fee offset is Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  calculated using the number of shares multiplied by the closing price of the security on the day prior to the initial billing date multiplied by the annual advisory fee. For mutual funds subject to a back-end sales charge, the fee offset is equal to the amount of the back-end sales charge incurred: (1) upon liquidation of a mutual fund in the account; or (2) upon liquidation of a mutual fund within 60-days prior to the date the proceeds are transferred into the account. The unit investment trust fee offset is calculated in the same manner as the front-end load mutual fund fee offset. • Your IAR can agree, upon your written request and for your convenience, to hold certain assets in your Contour account such as previously acquired concentrated positions in a stock or bond that you wish to hold for an unspecified period of time. Such assets are unmanaged, unmonitored, and are excluded from billing. • Your IAR can agree, at your request, to hold certain assets in the Contour account such as previously acquired concentrated positions in a stock or bond, that you wish to liquidate over a period of time or hold to maturity. Such assets are being monitored but are excluded from billing. Mutual funds generally offer multiple share classes available for investment based upon certain eligibility and/or purchase requirements. For instance, in addition to retail share classes (typically referred to as class A, B, and C shares), mutual funds can also offer institutional share classes or other share classes that are specifically designed for purchase by investors who meet certain specified eligibility criteria, including, for example, whether an account meets certain minimum dollar amount thresholds or is enrolled in an eligible fee-based investment advisory program. Institutional share classes usually have a lower expense ratio than other share classes. Cadaret Grant and our IARs have a financial incentive to recommend or select share classes that have higher expense ratios because such share classes generally result in higher compensation. Cadaret Grant seeks to minimize this conflict of interest, by providing our IARs with training and guidance on this issue, as well as by conducting periodic reviews of client holdings in mutual fund investments to ensure the appropriateness of mutual fund share class selections and whether alternative mutual fund share class selections are available that might be more appropriate given a client’s particular investment objectives and any other appropriate considerations relevant to mutual fund share class selection. Regardless of such considerations, clients should not assume that they will be invested in the share class with the lowest possible expense ratio. The appropriateness of a particular mutual fund share class selection is dependent upon a number of considerations, including: the asset-based advisory fee that is charged, whether transaction charges are applied to the purchase or sale of mutual funds, the overall cost structure of the advisory program, operational considerations associated with accessing or offering particular share classes (including the presence of selling agreements with the mutual fund sponsors and Cadaret Grant’s ability to access particular share classes through the custodian), share class eligibility requirements, and the revenue sharing, distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees, or other compensation associated with offering a particular class of shares. Further information regarding fees and charges assessed by a mutual fund is available in the mutual fund prospectus. Additional Fees for Trades Executed at Other Broker-Dealers SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, or Envestnet can elect to execute trades at broker-dealers other than the Custodian for some or all of their transactions or investment styles. This is frequently referred to as “trading away” or “step out trades.” Clients who select such managers or participate in the SMA or UMA are subject to any transaction charges or other charges, including commissions, mark-ups, mark-downs, or other additional trading costs that can be imposed by the executing broker-dealer in addition to the Program Fee and the other fees described herein. Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Wrap Fee Program versus Non-Wrap Fee Program We offer asset management services through both wrap fee and non-wrap fee programs. Wrap Fee Programs A wrap fee program is defined as an advisory program in which a client pays a single, specified fee for portfolio management services and trade execution. We receive a portion of the investment advisory fee you pay when you participate in any of the wrap fee programs we offer. Wrap fee programs are not suitable for all investments needs and any decision to participate in a wrap fee program should be based on your financial situation, investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and investment time horizon. The benefit of a wrap fee program depends, in part, upon the size of an account, the types of securities in the account, and the expected size and number of transactions likely to be generated. Generally, wrap fee accounts are less expensive for actively traded accounts. For accounts with little or no trading activity, a wrap fee program may not be suitable because the wrap fee could be higher than fees in a traditional brokerage or non-wrap fee advisory account where you pay a fee for advisory services plus a commission or transaction charges foreach transaction in the account. You should evaluate the total cost for a wrap fee account against the cost of participating in another program or account. Non-Wrap Fee Programs Wrap fee programs differ from other programs in that the fee structure for wrap programs is all-inclusive, whereas non-wrap fee programs, such as Contour APM Non-Wrap, assess trade execution costs that are in addition to the investment advisory fees. In Contour APM Non-Wrap, there are two separate types of fees. We charge an investment advisory fee for our advisory services and another fee (“ticket charge”) is charged for each transaction (purchase, sale, or exchange) for accounts held at Pershing or Schwab. Cadaret Grant has a conflict of interest in offering non-wrap accounts custodied through Pershing due to the receipt of additional transaction-based ticket charge revenue received by us in our capacity as a broker-dealer. Cadaret Grant maintains policies and procedures to ensure the recommendation of a specific account type is reasonably believed to be in your best interest. There is no guarantee that the Advisory Services offered will result in your goals and objectives being met. Nor is there any guarantee of profit or protection from loss. No assumption can be made that an advisory fee arrangement or portfolio management service of any nature will provide a better return than other investment vehicles. Advisory programs are not suitable for all investment needs, and any decision to participate in a wrap fee or non-wrap fee program should be based on your financial situation, investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and investment time horizon, among other considerations. You should evaluate the total cost for participating in a particular advisory program in consultation with your IAR. General Information Concerning Fees Fees vary between IARs, and clients can pay more or less than the fees charged by another IAR for similar services. The advisory fee charged can be more or less than what Cadaret Grant and your IAR might earn from other programs available in the financial services industry or if the services were purchased separately or on a commission basis. To this end, clients have the option to purchase investment products that an IAR recommends through other financial services firms that are not affiliated with Cadaret Grant. Advisory fees are charged on all mutual fund shares deposited to Contour accounts unless eligible for the fee offset program described in the section entitled Compensation Related to Mutual Funds and Other Investments above. Also, to the extent cash used for investment in an account comes from redemptions of your other non- managed mutual fund investments, you should consider the cost, if any, of the sales charge(s) previously paid and redemption fees that could be incurred. Such redemption fees would be in addition to the advisory fee on Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  those assets. You should be aware that such redemptions and exchanges between mutual funds within investment advisory accounts typically have tax consequences in non-retirement accounts, which should be discussed with an independent tax advisor. Item 5 – Account Requirements and Types of Clients Account Requirements The initial minimum account size for Contour program options is listed below. Program Minimum Advisor as Portfolio Manager Program $25,000 Fund Strategist Portfolios As low as $2,000 Separately Managed Accounts $100,000 Unified Managed Accounts $100,000 The initial account minimum can, however, be waived at Cadaret Grant’s discretion, considering various factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, length of client relationship, or combined values of other household/family member accounts. In the SMA program, should the SMA Manager require a higher minimum, the higher minimum will apply. In the UMA program, the minimum account size for each model style is determined by the Model Provider or Sub-Manager. For additional information regarding any restrictions imposed by a SMA Manager, Model Provider, or Sub-Manager, please ask your IAR for their Form ADV Part 2A Brochure. Types of Clients Cadaret Grant, through its IARs, offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, and corporations or other businesses. Our clients can have both fee-based advisory accounts and commission-based brokerage accounts. Our IARs can offer clients advisory services, brokerage services, or both, depending on an IAR’s registrations and qualifications, and on a client’s preferences and needs. Item 6 – Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Cadaret Grant does not utilize the services of any third-party money manager in the APM. In the APM, your IAR acts as portfolio manager and selects specific investments to implement an asset allocation model consistent with your investor profile, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. IARs acting as portfolio managers generally do not have documented performance histories against which to measure. Therefore, IARs of Cadaret Grant are not subject to the same selection and review process that we use for SMA Managers, Sub- Managers, Strategists, or Model Providers. SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, Strategists, and Model Providers In the SMA and UMA, Envestnet makes available to Cadaret Grant investment managers with whom Envestnet has entered into agreements to act as SMA Managers or Sub-Managers with respect to the investment of clients’ Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Platform Assets in managed securities portfolios, mutual fund portfolios, and exchange-traded fund portfolios. For certain investment advisors, including Strategists for FSP, Envestnet has entered into a licensing agreement with the investment adviser whereby Envestnet performs administrative and/or trading duties pursuant to the direction of the investment adviser. In this scenario, the investment adviser is acting in the role of a “Model Provider.” Envestnet has developed a program to collect and report data on investment style and philosophy, past performance, and personnel of SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, and Model Providers that are designated as “approved.” Envestnet’s process for selecting, evaluating, and monitoring approved SMA Managers, Sub- Managers, and Model Providers is more fully described in Envestnet’s Form ADV Brochure. Cadaret Grant leverages this process in selecting SMA Manages, Sub-Managers, and Model Providers it makes available in Contour accounts. Envestnet also makes available other managers for which it has not performed due diligence; Cadaret Grant makes those managers available based on due diligence conducted by the Managed Account Product Review Committee, a sub-committee of the Atria New Product Committee. This includes review of investment style and philosophy, past performance, and personnel. The Managed Account Product Review Committee is responsible for reviewing, selecting, and monitoring SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, and Model Providers. SMA Managers, Sub- Managers, and Model Providers selected for participation are also subject to an annual review to determine if there are any material changes or disclosure events that will impact the quality of the SMA Manager’s, Sub-Manager’s, or Model Provider’s performance of the services contemplated in the Program. In addition, the Managed Account Product Review Committee conducts periodic reviews of Envestnet. Your IAR is responsible for initial SMA Manager and/or Model Provider selection based on the information you provide at the inception of your account along with your investor profile and results of your RTQ or risk assessment from an approved financial planning tool. Your IAR is also responsible for monitoring the appropriateness of the selected SMA Manager(s), Sub- Manager(s), and/or Model Provider(s) in light of any changes in your financial condition, risk tolerance, and investment objectives reported by you from time to time. Performance Calculation Cadaret Grant has engaged Envestnet to calculate investment performance and to provide reports to clients, subject to a minimum account value. Neither Cadaret Grant, nor any third party, reviews or verifies the accuracy of performance or its compliance with any presentation standards. A custodial statement containing a description of all account activity is provided to you not less than quarterly. Your IAR reviews overall performance of each account on a periodic basis in order to ensure that transactions are suitable based on your investment objectives, meet your quality expectations and comply with any investment restrictions requested by you. Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management Fees based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of assets of an advisory client are commonly referred to as “performance-based fees.” Cadaret Grant does not charge performance- based fees. We also do not engage in side-by-side management. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies Your IAR will incorporate your needs and investment objectives as well as time horizon and risk tolerance Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  when developing and selecting investment strategies. Your IAR is not bound by any specific methods of analysis or investment strategies for the management of model portfolios in the APM, but rather as previously stated, your IAR will consider your unique situation and all information gathered at the account inception, your RTQ or financial plan, as well as changes to your financial picture over time. The primary sources of information used to conduct these types of analysis are reputable financial publications, research prepared by others, ratings services, press releases, annual reports, prospectuses, and other filings with the SEC. The implementation of your IAR’s strategies varies based upon the individual client. Prior to investing, you should ensure that you understand and agree with the investment strategy used by your IAR. Each client’s account is managed based on a client’s financial situation, investment objectives, and instructions. The IAR works with a client to obtain sufficient information to provide individualized investment advice and is reasonably available to consult with the client on an ongoing basis. Clients are permitted to impose reasonable restrictions on the management of an account. However, there is a possibility that by imposing restrictions, you may receive an asset allocation proposal that differs from the allocation your IAR would otherwise consider appropriate. Clients who do not impose any restrictions are likely to receive asset allocation proposals that are similar to proposals presented to other clients with similar investment profiles. Tax Consequences Tax consequences are a critical component of any investment strategy. Therefore, depending on the strategy that you choose to implement, it is possible that any trading activity could result in a taxable event and lower investment returns. Certain SMA Managers in SMA and Model Providers in UMA and FSP employ tactical strategies that do not consider taxes, including the avoidance of wash sales, in the management of portfolios. Since investments could have tax or legal consequences, you should contact your tax professionals and attorneys to help answer questions about specific situations or needs. Risk of Loss Investing in any type of security involves risk of loss that you should be prepared to bear. Cadaret Grant does not guarantee the performance of an account or any specific level of performance. Market values of the securities in the account will fluctuate with market conditions. When an account is liquidated, it could be worth more or less than the amount invested. There is no guarantee that a client’s investment goals or objectives will be achieved. All securities are subject to some level of risk which could cause the value of your securities to decrease in value, and in some cases, could result in a loss of your entire investment The following are some types of risk that could affect the value of your portfolio: • Market risk: The risk that changes in the overall market will have an adverse effect on individual securities, regardless of the issuer’s circumstances. • Business risk: Whether because of management or adverse circumstances, some businesses will inevitably fail. This is especially true during economic recessions. For example, a company stock can become worthless in the event of a bankruptcy, which would result in a loss of principal to shareholders. • Interest rate risk: If the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, the market prices of bonds can be affected. When interest rates rise, the market prices of bonds typically fall. Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  • Regulatory risk: Legislative, regulatory and/or judicial changes that impact businesses can drastically change entire industries. • Industry/company risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a specific company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, which is a lengthy process before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of fluctuations in profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from a steady stream of clients who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like. • Liquidity risk: Certain investments lack liquidity or the ability to access their principal quickly, without incurring substantial penalties, or the inability to sell the investment until sometime in the future. • Inflation risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation. • Opportunity risk: A client or an IAR can choose a conservative product to invest in, which could cause the client to miss out on market upswings which potentially could have increased the value of securities with higher risk. The opposite is also true; market downturns could cause a client to lose a significant amount of principal invested in higher risk securities, when his or her funds could have been invested in lower risk options. • Reinvestment risk: There is a possibility you will be unable to make additional purchases of a security already in your portfolio at the same rate at which the original purchase was made. • Currency or exchange rate risk: Foreign securities face the uncertainty that the value of either the foreign currency or the domestic currency will increase or decrease; either of which will cause the value of the client’s portfolio to fluctuate. • Exchange-Traded Funds: ETFs face market trading risks, including the potential lack of an active market for fund shares, losses from trading in the secondary markets, and disruption in the creation and redemption process of the ETF. Any of these factors can lead to liquidity risk and/or the fund’s shares trading at a premium or discount to its “net asset value.” • Leveraged and inverse ETFs: ETFs that offer leverage or that are designed to perform inversely to the index or benchmark they track—or both—are growing in number and popularity. While such products may be useful in some sophisticated trading strategies, they are highly complex financial instruments that are typically designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effects of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from their stated daily objective. Therefore, inverse and leveraged ETFs that are reset daily typically are unsuitable for clients who plan to hold them for longer than one trading session, particularly in volatile markets. • Interval Funds: Interval funds provide limited liquidity to shareholders by offering to repurchase a limited number of shares on a periodic basis, but there is no guarantee that a client will be able to sell all their shares in any particular repurchase offer. The repurchase offer program may be suspended under certain circumstances. • Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) strategies: The implementation of ESG strategies could cause an account to perform differently compared to accounts that do not use such strategies. The criteria related to certain ESG strategies can result in an account foregoing opportunities to buy certain securities when it might otherwise be advantageous to do so, or selling securities to comply with ESG guidelines when it might be otherwise disadvantageous to do so. In addition, an increased focus on ESG or sustainability investing in recent years may have led to increased valuations of certain issuers Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  with higher ESG profiles. A reversal of that trend could result in losses with respect to investments in such issuers. There can be no assurance that an ESG strategy directly correlates with a client’s ESG goals, and ESG data is not available with respect to all issuers, sectors or industries and is often based upon estimates, comparisons or projections that may prove to be incorrect. As a result, a client account with ESG guidelines could nonetheless be invested in issuers that are inconsistent with the client’s ESG goals. • Structured Products: A structured product is an unsecured obligation of an issuer with a return, generally paid at maturity, that is linked to the performance of an underlying asset, such as a security, basket of securities, an index, a commodity, a debt issuance or a foreign currency. Structured products are senior unsecured debt of the issuing bank and subject to the credit risk associated with that issuer. This credit risk exists whether or not the investment held in the account offers principal protection. Some structured products offer full protection of the principal invested, others offer only partial or no protection. Investors may be sacrificing a higher yield to obtain the principal guarantee. In addition, the principal guarantee relates to nominal principal and does not offer inflation protection. An investor in a structured product never has a claim on the underlying investment. There may be little or no secondary market for the securities and information regarding independent market pricing for the securities may be limited. A structured product may contain a call feature that can result in the investment being redeemed earlier than the stated maturity date. If a structured product is called prior to maturity, the payment you receive will depend upon the stated terms of the investment. If a structured product is called, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds in a similar investment with similar risk and return characteristics. • Money Market Mutual Funds: While money market mutual funds seek to preserve a net asset value of $1.00, during periods of severe market stress, a money market mutual fund could fail to preserve a net asset value of $1.00 and/or could no longer be a viable business for the fund sponsor, which would force the sponsor to liquidate. It is possible to lose money by investing in a money market mutual fund. • Credit risk: The risk that an issuer of a fixed income security may fail to pay interest and/or principal in a timely manner, or that negative perceptions of the issuer’s ability to make such payments will cause the price of the security to decline. These risks are greater for securities that are rated below investment grade (junk bonds), which may be considered speculative and are more volatile than investment grade securities. • Options: Holding options for long-term periods could weaken and/or reduce the value of the underlying stock or create the possibility of a worthless position. • Global risk: International investing involves a greater degree of risk and increased volatility. Changes in currency exchange rates and differences in accounting and taxation policies outside the U.S. can raise or lower returns. Also, some overseas markets are not as politically and economically stable as the United States and other nations. • Cybersecurity risk: Cadaret Grant relies on the use and operation of different computer hardware, software, and online systems. The following risks are inherent in such programs and are enhanced for online systems: unauthorized access to or corruption, deletion, theft, or misuse of confidential data relating to Cadaret Grant and its clients; and compromises or failures of systems, networks, devices, or applications used by Cadaret Grant or its vendors to support its operations. You should understand and be willing to accept these and other types of risks before choosing to invest in securities or receive investment advisory services.

For assets held in APM or FSP accounts, neither Cadaret Grant nor the IAR will exercise any voting authority and you expressly retain the authority. You can revoke proxy voting authority at any time by providing written instruction. You can obtain a copy of our proxy voting policies and procedures upon request, by contacting Cadaret Grant at the phone number on the front of this Contour Brochure. Item 7 – Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers Information regarding your financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and other relevant factors as described by you, is gathered prior to opening an account and assists your IAR when recommending the most appropriate asset allocation model(s) and strategies for you. You should notify your IAR promptly when changes to your financial situation, objectives, or other personal information occur, so that your IAR can adjust his or her management of your portfolio, if necessary. You can impose any reasonable restrictions on the management of the account. Each client is contacted at least annually to determine if any changes have occurred that could affect the ongoing suitability of the portfolio selected and to determine if any new restrictions should be imposed on the account. Item 8 – Client Contact with Portfolio Managers You are generally free to contact Cadaret Grant and your IAR at any time during normal business hours via telephone, facsimile, video conference, mail, or email. In-person meetings should be scheduled in advance to ensure that your IAR is available. Contour SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, Model Providers, and third-party strategists are not generally available to discuss specific investment issues. Item 9 – Additional Information Disciplinary Information Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal or disciplinary events that would be material to the client’s evaluation of Cadaret Grant or the integrity of Cadaret Grant’s management. Cadaret Grant is a broker-dealer in addition to its activities as a registered investment adviser. In connection with its broker-dealer business, Cadaret Grant has been the subject of certain regulatory actions, some of which Cadaret Grant has determined to be immaterial. Others are summarized below: • On May 28, 2015, Cadaret Grant entered into an AWC with FINRA. FINRA found that, between January 2011 and December 2014, Cadaret Grant failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system reasonably designed to supervise variable annuity surrenders and exchanges recommended or processed by the firm’s registered representatives in violation of NASD Rule 3010 and FINRA Rules 2020, 3110, and 4511. Cadaret Grant consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to a censure and fine of $75,000, agreed to pay $236,242 in restitution plus interest to certain clients, and agreed to conduct a review of the adequacy of its written supervisory procedures regarding non-exchange variable annuity surrenders.

Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  • On August 1, 2017, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease- and-Desist Proceedings, Pursuant to Section 15(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease- and-Desist Order as to Cadaret Grant. The Order alleges that (a) between 2011 and 2016, Cadaret Grant purchased, recommended, or held for advisory clients mutual fund share classes that charged 12b-1 fees instead of lower-cost share classes of the same funds for which clients were eligible, (b) Cadaret Grant received 12b-1 fees in connection with the investments, and (c) Cadaret Grant failed to disclose in its Form ADV the conflicts of interest related to the receipt of 12b-1 fees and its selection of mutual fund share classes that pay such fees. During the same period Cadaret Grant received marketing support payments from two mutual fund complexes when the firm investment clients in mutual fund shares classes that charged 12b-1 fees and failed to disclose this conflict of interest to clients. During the same period, the firm failed to refund unearned prepaid advisory fees to clients who terminated their accounts. As a result the firm violated Sections 206(2), 206(4), and 207 of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7. Cadaret Grant agreed, without admitting or denying the findings, to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations of Sections 206(2) and 207 of the Advisers Act, to a censure, to pay a fine of $280,000 and approximately $2.76 million to compensate investors affected by its conduct, and to notify affected investors of the entry of the Order. • On June 12, 2018, Cadaret Grant entered into a Consent Order with the Massachusetts Securities Division with respect to allegations that between 2010 and 2018 one of the firm’s investment adviser representatives had a place of business and provided investment advisory services in Massachusetts when not registered in Massachusetts. Cadaret Grant, without admitting or denying the allegations, agreed to (a) cease and desist from violating the Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 100A, Section 201(C) and 201(D), (b) register its investment adviser representatives in Massachusetts prior to them offering services, (c) refund $134,249 in fees charged to clients, and (d) pay a fine of $75,000 and registration fees of $400. • On September 11, 2018, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Sections 203(c), 203(f), and 203(k) of the Advisers Act, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order as to Cadaret Grant. The Order alleges that (a) between January 2015 and December 2016, certain Cadaret Grant registered representatives recommended that customer buy and hold a complex exchange traded note linked to a crude oil futures index with triple leverage, (b) the representatives did not do a reasonable investigation or have a reasonable basis for their recommendations, (c) the firm’s supervisory personnel failed to (i) establish and implement a reasonable supervisory system for determining whether representatives had a reasonable basis for recommending that investors buy and hold non-traditional exchange traded products (“ETPs”), (ii) provide training to representatives concerning non-traditional ETPs, (iii) implement Cadaret Grant’s specific policies and procedures pertaining to representatives’ recommendations to brokerage customers involving non-traditional ETPs, and (iv) devote adequate resources to supervising representatives. Cadaret Grant also failed to adopt and implement policies and procedures designed to prevent unsuitable sales of non-traditional ETPs by IARs to investment advisory clients in light of their investment objectives and financial condition. Cadaret Grant agreed, without admitting or denying the findings, to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations of Sections 206(4) and 206(4)-7 of the Advisers Act, to a censure, to pay disgorgement of $12,296, prejudgment interest of $898, and a civil penalty of $500,000. • On September 11, 2018, Cadaret Grant entered into an AWC with FINRA. FINRA found that, between August 2012 and May 2017, Cadaret Grant failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system reasonably designed to supervise numerous areas of its business as a result of its failure to Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  devote sufficient resources to supervision of the firm’s personnel. in violation of Section 17(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, SEC Rule 17a-4, NASD Rule 3010, and FINRA Rules 2020, 2330, 3110, and 4511. Cadaret Grant consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to a censure and fine of $800,000, and to engage an independent consultant to conduct a review of its policies, systems and procedures, and training relating to variable annuity sales and exchanges, consolidated reports, and retention and review of electronic communications. • On December 17, 2019, Cadaret Grant entered into a Consent Agreement and Order with the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities with respect to allegations that between January 2015 and September 2019 the firm employed at least one unregistered investment adviser representative in violation of Section 301(c.1)(1)(ii) of the Pennsylvania Securities Act. Cadaret Grant, without admitting or denying the allegations, agreed to pay a fine of $90,000. • On July 1, 2020, Cadaret Grant entered into an AWC with FINRA. FINRA found that, between April 2014 and March 2017, Cadaret Grant failed to reasonably supervise a registered representative who conducted multiple undisclosed private securities transactions, which were part of a Ponzi scheme that the registered representative orchestrated that resulted in substantial losses to several clients and that the firm failed to take reasonable steps to investigate red flags that the registered representative was involved in private securities transactions in violation of NASD Rule 3010 and FINRA Rules 2020 and 3110. Cadaret Grant consented, without admitting or denying the findings, to a censure and fine of $200,000. • On August 12, 2024, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Sections 203(e) and 203(k) of the Advisers Act, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order as to Cadaret Grant. The Order alleges that Cadaret Grant failed to provide full and fair disclosure regarding conflicts of interest associated with its receipt of: (1) revenue sharing payments from Cadaret Grant’s unaffiliated clearing broker as a result of advisory clients’ investments in certain no-transaction fee (“NTF”) mutual fund share classes from at least January 2017 until January 2020; (2) revenue sharing payments from its unaffiliated clearing broker as a result of sweeping cash into certain money market mutual funds from at least January 2017 until March 2022; and (3) markups on the unaffiliated clearing broker’s fees for certain advisory clients’ transaction fees (“transaction fee markups”) from at least January 2017 until June 2020. The Order further alleges that Cadaret Grant breached its duty to seek best execution by causing certain advisory clients to invest in certain share classes of NTF mutual funds when share classes of the same funds were available to the clients that presented a more favorable value for these clients under the particular circumstances in place at the time of the transactions, and that Cadaret Grant breached its duty of care by failing to undertake an analysis to determine whether the particular mutual fund shares class and money market fund it recommended was in the best interests of its advisory clients. Finally, the Order alleges that Cadaret Grant failed to adopt and implement written compliance policies and procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Advisers Act and the rules thereunder in connection with its practices regarding mutual fund share class and money market fund selection, transaction fee markups, and seeking best execution. Without admitting or denying the findings, Cadaret Grant agreed to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations of Sections 206(2) and 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7 promulgated thereunder, to a censure, to pay approximately $4.2 million and interest to compensate investors affected by its conduct, a civil penalty of $1 million, and to a number of undertakings, including to notify affected investors of the entry of the Order.

For more information about these state events and other disciplinary and legal events involving Cadaret Grant and its IARs, clients should refer to Investment Adviser Public Disclosure at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov or FINRA BrokerCheck® at https://brokercheck.finra.org. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Cadaret Grant is registered as a broker-dealer and as an investment adviser with the SEC. Cadaret Grant is a member of FINRA and SIPC. Cadaret Grant is also licensed as an insurance agency in all states. Cadaret Grant is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Atria Wealth Solutions, Inc. (Atria).

Banking or Thrift Institution Western International Securities, Inc. Broker Dealer, Registered Investment Adviser, and Insurance Agency Conflicts of Interest as a Broker-Dealer and Insurance Agency Cadaret Grant is dually registered as both a broker-dealer and as a registered investment adviser and is also a licensed insurance agency. Most of our IARs are registered with us as a registered representative, which allows them to perform brokerage services for you by executing securities transactions. Each IAR is an independent contractor with Cadaret Grant. In their capacity as registered representatives, IARs offer securities and receive commissions as a result of such transactions. There is a conflict of interest when an IAR is able to choose between offering a client fee-based programs and services (as is typical of an advisory relationship) and/or commission-based products and services (as is typical of a brokerage relationship). There is a difference in how Cadaret Grant and your IAR are compensated for advisory accounts and brokerage accounts or insurance products. While a client pays a fee to their IAR on an advisory account based on the value of account assets and not the number of transactions, in their capacities as registered representatives, an IAR can offer securities and receive a commission, markup, or markdown on each transaction. To mitigate this conflict, we review our client accounts and transactions to ensure that we have a reasonable basis to believe the recommended services and transactions are consistent with a client’s stated goals, objectives, preferences, and needs. Cadaret Grant’s registration as a broker-dealer is material to our advisory business because advisory accounts Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  are custodied with Pershing, a third-party custodian, where we act in our capacity as an introducing broker- dealer. This results in additional forms of compensation to Cadaret Grant which are discussed in this brochure. See Brokerage Practices – Pershing Clearing Relationship, Indirect Compensation and Revenue Sharing. Many of our IARs are also licensed insurance agents appointed with various insurance companies. An IAR can be contracted and appointed as an independent insurance agent or as an insurance agent with Cadaret Grant. Acting in the capacity of an insurance agent, IARs can sell annuities and insurance products to advisory clients and earn commissions for these transactions. Clients are under no obligation to purchase products or services recommended by an IAR or through an IAR or otherwise through Cadaret Grant or its affiliates. Clients are free to implement recommendations through any broker-dealer or advisory firm. If you request that an IAR recommend a broker-dealer, the IAR will recommend Cadaret Grant; however, you are under no obligation to effect transactions through us. An IAR’s Outside Business Activities Our IARs are independent contractors and can engage in certain approved outside business activities other than providing brokerage and advisory services through Cadaret Grant, and in certain cases, an IAR receives more compensation, benefits, and non-cash compensation through an outside business activity than through Cadaret Grant. This creates a conflict of interest because IARs have an incentive to spend more time and attention on other ventures than on managing your account. Some of our IARs are accountants, real estate agents, insurance agents, tax preparers, or lawyers, and some refer clients to other service providers and receive referral fees. As an example, an IAR could provide advisory or financial planning services through an unaffiliated investment advisory firm, sell insurance through a separate business, or provide third-party administration to retirement plans through a separate firm. If an IAR provides investment services to a retirement plan as our representative and also provides administration services to the plan through a separate firm, this typically means the IAR is compensated from the plan for the two services. In addition, an IAR can sell insurance through an insurance agency not affiliated with Cadaret Grant. In those circumstances, the IAR is subject to the policies and procedures of the third-party insurance agency related to the sale of insurance products and would have different conflicts of interest than when acting on behalf of Cadaret Grant. When an IAR receives compensation, benefits, and non-cash compensation through the third-party insurance agency, the IAR has an incentive to recommend you purchase insurance products away from Cadaret Grant. If you contract with an IAR for services separate or away from Cadaret Grant, you should discuss with them any questions you have about the compensation they receive from the engagement. Additional information about a IAR’s outside business activities is available on FINRA's website at brokercheck.finra.org. Conflicts of Interest with Independent Registered Investment Advisers In addition to or in lieu of their capacity as an IAR of Cadaret Grant, certain IARs own their own registered independent investment advisory firms (an “Independent RIA”). An IAR of an Independent RIA can have three different but concurrent roles: • As a registered representative with Cadaret Grant who receives commissions for effecting securities transactions; • As an IAR of Cadaret Grant who receives a fee for rendering advisory services on behalf of Cadaret Grant; and/or • As an IAR of an Independent RIA who offers services outside of Cadaret Grant. You should be aware that the receipt of additional compensation while acting in concurrent roles creates a Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  conflict of interest and impairs the objectivity of these IARs when making advisory recommendations. If your IAR is associated with an Independent RIA, this will be disclosed on your IAR’s Part 2B of Form ADV. Depending on the terms negotiated, your IAR can retain a higher percentage of the advisory fee for services provided through an Independent RIA than would be retained when services are provided through Cadaret Grant. You should ask your IAR if purchasing services through an Independent RIA would result in increased costs to you. You are not obligated to purchase recommended investment products from our IARs or their Independent RIAs. Conflicts of Interest as an Insurance Agency Cadaret Grant is licensed as an insurance agency. An IAR can offer insurance through Cadaret Grant or through an independent insurance agency. When acting in the capacity of an insurance agent, IARs can effect transactions in insurance products for clients and earn commissions for these activities. The fees paid to Cadaret Grant for advisory services are separate and distinct from the insurance commissions earned by Cadaret Grant and/or its insurance agents. Clients are under no obligation to use Cadaret Grant and/or its insurance agents for insurance services and can use the insurance agency and agent of their choosing. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading Cadaret Grant has adopted a Code of Ethics (“Code”) which sets forth standards of business conduct, which all associated persons of Cadaret Grant are required to follow. The Code also describes certain reporting requirements with which covered persons must comply. The Code includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, insider trading, gifts and entertainment, and personal securities trading, among other things. Cadaret Grant’s clients or prospective clients can request a copy of Cadaret Grant’s Code by contacting us using the contact information on the cover page of this Brochure. IARs will often invest in the same securities recommended to clients. Generally, these securities are shares of open-end mutual funds or stocks and bonds actively traded on a national securities exchange or market where the time and size of the transactions will not affect purchases or sales for clients. They can also make purchases for their own accounts at or about the same time as the purchases/sales are made in client accounts. Orders for clients and orders for IARs’ own accounts are sometimes aggregated in “block trades” or aggregated orders. Aggregated orders can achieve better execution for all participating accounts and those advantages will be fairly allocated among participating accounts. IARs can hold positions in securities held or recommended to clients but are not allowed to front- run or otherwise benefit from these positions. Internal procedures have been instituted to ensure that the client is treated fairly in execution of all trades. To avoid conflicts of interest, our IARs are prohibited from buying or selling securities for their personal accounts where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of their employment unless the information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry. No IAR may place their own interests over those of the client. Further, our IARs must comply with all applicable federal and state regulations governing registered investment advisers.

Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Brokerage Practices Cadaret Grant is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC and provides various services as an introducing broker-dealer for which it is compensated by a commission or ticket charge. Cadaret Grant has no brokerage soft dollar arrangements and receives no benefits or research in exchange for executions. Contour accounts are custodied with an unaffiliated custodian designated by a client. Custodial options in Contour include, but are not limited to, Pershing and Schwab. When Pershing is selected to execute transactions and custody account assets in connection with Contour, Cadaret Grant acts as an introducing broker. When a Contour Non-Wrap Fee account is custodied at Pershing, clients can incur higher transaction costs in the form of commissions or ticket charges than if their accounts were held elsewhere. When using a Non-Wrap Fee option, the brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Cadaret Grant, Pershing, and Schwab are exclusive of (and in addition to) Cadaret Grant’s advisory fee. In the AMP and FSP, you authorize us to direct all transactions through a designated broker-dealer. You cannot request that your orders be executed through another broker-dealer. When directing execution of all transactions through a particular broker-dealer, there is no assurance that most favorable execution will be obtained, which could cost you more money. Not all advisers require clients to direct transaction executions to specified broker-dealers, as we do. This creates a conflict of interest for accounts custodied at Pershing because of the economic benefits Cadaret Grant receives. We periodically review the execution quality of available broker-dealers to confirm that the quality we receive is comparable to what could be obtained through other qualified broker-dealers. For accounts custodied at Pershing, Cadaret Grant relies in part on review of execution quality, the details of which are made available to us for our review. In addition, to assist in evaluating the quality of equity executions, we engage the services of a third-party consultant who monitors Pershing’s equity executions for quality and helps us identify transactions that are eligible for price improvement. In SMA and UMA, SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, or Envestnet, as Overlay Manager, can elect to execute trades at broker-dealers other than the Custodian for some or all of their transactions or investment styles. This is referred to as “trading away” or “step out trades.” Clients who select such managers in the SMA or UMA are subject to transaction charges or other charges, including commissions, mark-ups, mark-downs, or other additional trading costs that can be imposed by the executing broker-dealer. You should refer to the applicable SMA Manager’s, Sub-Manager’s, or Envestnet’s Form ADV Part 2A for additional information. Contour accounts are managed based on model portfolio strategies. One or more clients can have the same model portfolio, based on their investment objective and risk profile. We typically aggregate orders into block trades when models are rebalanced or if one or more securities are added or removed from a model. Transactions can, however, be executed independent of transactions for other clients. An IAR must reasonably believe that a block order is consistent with our duty to seek best execution and will benefit each client participating in the aggregated order. When we aggregate orders, we do so in a manner reasonably designed to ensure that no participating client obtains a more favorable execution price than another. Transactions are typically aggregated pro rata to the participating client accounts in proportion to the size of the order placed for each account. If we are unable to fully execute an aggregated order and we determine that it would be impractical to allocate a smaller number of securities among the participating accounts on a pro rata basis, we will seek to allocate the securities in a manner that does not disadvantage particular client accounts. Cadaret Grant is not affiliated with Pershing or Schwab. For accounts under the Non-Wrap Fee option, the commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Cadaret Grant, Pershing, and Schwab can be higher or lower Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  than those charged by other broker-dealers. However, a client can pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer might charge to effect the same transaction where Cadaret Grant determines, in good faith, that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services, including the broker’s expertise, the price at which the trade executed relative to other trades in the security, the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and the broker’s integrity and responsiveness. Consistent with the foregoing, while Cadaret Grant and/or our IARs seek competitive rates, you should not expect that we will necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions. Also, and as noted above, we periodically review the execution quality of available broker-dealers to confirm that the quality we receive is comparable to what could be obtained through other qualified broker- dealers. Schwab and Pershing provide Cadaret Grant and our IARs with access to institutional trading, portfolio management, brokerage and custodial services, research, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only for institutional investors or would require a higher minimum initial investment. Schwab and Pershing do not charge a separate fee for custody of Cadaret Grant’s client accounts that they maintain but are compensated by the account holders through commissions or other transaction-related fees for security trades that are executed through them or settle into their accounts and for various account fees. Cadaret Grant receives other products and services from Schwab and Pershing that benefits Cadaret Grant, but not client accounts. Some of these other products and services assist Cadaret Grant in managing and administering client accounts. These include software and other technology that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), facilitate payment of Cadaret Grant’s fees from client’s accounts, and assist with back-office functions, record keeping and client reporting. These services can be used to service all or a substantial number of client accounts, including accounts not maintained at Pershing or Schwab. Cadaret Grant also receives services from Schwab and Pershing that are intended to help Cadaret Grant manage and further develop its business. These services include information technology, regulatory compliance, and marketing. In addition, Schwab and Pershing make available, arrange and/or pay for these types of services furnished to Cadaret Grant by independent third parties. Schwab and Pershing can discount or waive fees they would otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of the third party providing the services to Cadaret Grant. Cadaret Grant or our IARs can make recommendations that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab or Pershing. These recommendations can be based in part on the benefits to a client, such as the availability of some of the foregoing products and services and not solely on the nature, cost, or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by the custodian, which creates a conflict of interest. Clients of Cadaret Grant should be aware that if they direct Cadaret Grant or our IARs to use a particular broker, it can limit Cadaret Grant’s or our IARs’ ability to achieve best execution, negotiate commissions with other brokers on behalf of the client, or limit the client's participation in block trading. Pershing Clearing Relationship Pershing is the clearing firm for Cadaret Grant’s brokerage business and is also a custodial option for Contour accounts. Pershing offers their broker-dealer clients substantial financial strength and stability, economies of scale, and reliable, state-of-the-art technology. As part of this business relationship, Cadaret Grant pays Pershing Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  various execution and clearing charges and fees in connection with Pershing maintaining custody and effecting the purchase and sale of securities for Cadaret Grant’s clients. Pershing’s execution and clearing charges are included in the commissions and transaction charges or fees that Cadaret Grant charges its clients. Pershing pays Cadaret Grant the portion of commissions and transactions fees that exceed its execution and clearing charges. Cadaret Grant does not share any of this revenue received from Pershing for investment advisory accounts with our IARs. Pershing charges Cadaret Grant for certain account services for accounts custodied with Pershing (including advisory accounts), including clearing and executing transactions, outgoing transfers, wired funds, direct registration of securities, paper statements and confirms, margin extensions, ticket charges, and IRA custodial maintenance and termination. Cadaret Grant sets its own price for certain services. Cadaret Grant charges clients more for certain services than it pays Pershing, which is sometimes called a “markup,” and the markups vary by product and the type of service and can be substantial. Cadaret Grant keeps the difference between the fees and charges our clients pay and the amount paid to Pershing to cover the costs associated with processing transactions and providing other services. The economic arrangements between Cadaret Grant and Pershing (including the fees charged by Pershing) can be renegotiated and change from time to time, including in circumstances where Cadaret Grant realizes net savings or increased profits from the changed arrangements and Cadaret Grant does pass on any net savings or increased profits in the form of reduced fees and charges to clients. This practice creates a conflict of interest for us since we have a financial incentive to recommend Pershing since we receive substantial compensation for the services we provide. IARs do not receive a portion of these fees. Our clearing relationship with Pershing provides us with certain economic benefits and compensation by using ourselves as the broker-dealer for our advisory programs that would not be received if we used an unaffiliated, third-party broker-dealer for our advisory programs. For example, we add a markup to the transaction costs in the Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM program and certain other brokerage-related account charges and fees that are assessed to all client accounts at Pershing. The charges and fees that are marked up are set forth in our Account Fee Schedule on our website under Disclosures (cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/). The additional compensation we receive creates a significant conflict of interest with our clients because we have a substantial economic incentive to use Pershing as the clearing firm for trade execution and custody over other firms that do not share compensation with us. The revenue and compensation we receive from Pershing is related to both advisory and brokerage accounts custodied on the Pershing platform. Our IARs do not receive any portion of this compensation. For assets in the Contour program, Cadaret Grant pays a recurring fee to Pershing based on a percentage of the aggregate assets invested by advisory clients, excluding certain investments, such as alternative investments. When the assets in the Contour program custodied at Pershing increase, the fee we pay decreases. This creates a conflict of interest for Cadaret Grant as we have an incentive to recommend advisory clients use Pershing as a custodian over other custodians and to recommend that you increase the amount you have invested in your Contour account. Pershing pays shares with Cadaret Grant the following items: • For accounts in custody with Pershing with cash balances automatically transferred (swept) into the Dreyfus Insured Deposits P - Tiered Rate Product (DIDP) program, a portion of the fees paid by each participating bank receiving swept funds (each a “Program Bank”) equal to a percentage of the average daily deposits at the Program Banks. The combined fee paid to Cadaret Grant, Pershing, and a third- party administrator will not exceed 4% per year on the average daily balances held in all deposit accounts taken in the aggregate. Cadaret Grant sets the amount of the fee it charges and retains, which may exceed the amount of interest paid to clients; Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  • For IRA accounts in custody with Pershing with cash balances automatically transferred (swept) into the Dreyfus Insured Deposits LF – Level Fee Product (DILF), a level monthly fee for each IRA that participates in the DILF program. The amount of this fee is determined based on a fee schedule indexed to the Federal Fund Target Rate published by the Federal Reserve System as detailed in the DILF Disclosure Statement and Terms and Conditions for the Level Fee Product located at cadaretgrant.com/disclosures. The per account monthly fee will be no less than $0.58 and no more than $20.59. It is generally anticipated that the fee Cadaret Grant charges will be offset by the total amounts paid to Cadaret Grant by Program Banks. If Cadaret Grant does not receive sufficient payments each month from Program Banks, Cadaret Grant reserves the right to debit each IRA account for the amount of any shortfall; • For brokerage accounts in custody with Pershing that have not been converted to either the Dreyfus Insured Deposits P - Tiered Rate Product (DIDP) or Dreyfus Insured Deposits LF – Level Fee Product (DILF) programs, a portion of the revenue Pershing receives from uninvested client cash balances in such accounts automatically swept into money market funds and FDIC insured bank deposit products of up to 0.60% of the value of cash balances. These payments vary based on the bank deposit account or money market fund a client has selected; • Transition assistance in the form of (a) reimbursement of IRA termination fees of up to $165 per account for a retirement account transferred to Pershing and up to $125 per retail account for retail accounts transferred to Pershing, or (b) a payment on the value of the assets transitioned, or (c) some combination of fee reimbursements and a payment on the value of assets transitioned; • A growth assistance credit to support, service, and grow brokerage assets on the Pershing platform; • A portion of certain brokerage account services and custodial fees charged to client accounts that exceeds the amount that we are required to pay Pershing for such services, including account transfer fees, IRA custodial and termination fees, paper confirm and statement fees, inactive (custodial) account fees, retirement account maintenance fees, and margin interest and/or fees; • A portion of shareholder servicing fees from certain mutual fund sponsors as part of their FundVest Focus® no transaction fee mutual fund program (FundVest) as described below; and • A rebate of a portion of clearing charges paid for equity and ETF transactions if the volume of transactions exceeds a certain number each month. If Cadaret Grant or Pershing terminate their clearing agreement, Cadaret Grant is subject to a termination fee of $1,000,000. In addition, if the clearing agreement terminates or more than 30% of Cadaret Grant’s client assets move to a custodial platform outside of Pershing prior to June 1, 2026, Cadaret Grant must repay the transition assistance and growth assistance payments received in the year the agreement terminates. This arrangement creates an incentive for Cadaret Grant to require you to use Pershing for brokerage services, over another third-party broker. Pershing may request a review and renegotiation of its charges if the revenue that Pershing receives from Cadaret Grant declines by ten percent or more in any six-month period. In the FundVest program, Cadaret Grant is eligible to receive through a contractual agreement with Pershing, 100% of 12b-1 fees paid by participating mutual funds, and for participating mutual funds that do not pay 12b- 1 fees, up to 57.5% of FundVest service fees paid by participating mutual funds to Pershing for FundVest assets over a threshold amount that are held in the aggregate in clients’ brokerage and advisory accounts. Our receipt of a portion of the FundVest service fees creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to invest your assets or to recommend that you purchase or hold these mutual funds that pay fees to Pershing that is shared with Cadaret Grant over other mutual funds that do not pay these fees. To mitigate this conflict, we do Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  not share these fees with IARs, and we do not require or incentivize our IARs to recommend FundVest mutual funds. We credit all 12b-1 fees we receive to clients’ advisory accounts. Most FundVest mutual funds have higher internal expenses than mutual funds that are not in the FundVest program, and the share classes of funds in the program have higher internal expenses than share classes not in the program. The higher internal expenses will reduce the long-term performance of an account when compared to an account that holds lower-cost share classes of the same fund. Clients should ask whether lower-cost mutual funds are available and/or appropriate for their account considering their expected investment holding periods, amounts invested, and anticipated trading frequency. FundVest funds held less than six months are also subject to a short-term redemption fee of $50 which will be charged to your account. Further information regarding mutual fund fees is available in the applicable mutual fund prospectus. For a list of funds participating in the FundVest program, please contact us using the contact information provided on the cover of this Brochure. Pershing, in its sole discretion, may add or remove mutual funds from the FundVest program or may terminate the FundVest program without prior notice. Margin Accounts Pershing offers margin accounts for our clients where you may borrow funds for the purpose of purchasing additional securities. You may also use a margin account to borrow money to pay for fees associated with your account or to withdraw funds. If you decide to open a margin account, please carefully consider that: (i) if you do not have available cash in your account and use margin, you are borrowing money to purchase securities, pay for fees associated with your account, or withdraw funds; and (ii) you are using the investments that you own in the account as collateral. Please carefully review the margin disclosure document for additional risks involved in opening a margin account. Money borrowed in a margin account is charged an interest rate that is subject to change over time. This interest payment is in addition to other fees associated with your account. Pershing and Cadaret Grant charge interest on margin loans to clients. Under its agreement with Pershing, Cadaret Grant sets the interest rate for margin loans in a range from 0.25% to 2.75% above the Pershing base lending rate depending on the amount of the margin advance. Cadaret Grant receives compensation in an amount by which the interest rate exceeds the Pershing base lending rate less 1%. Cadaret Grant has a conflict of interest in recommending to you a margin loan because Cadaret Grant (in its capacity as a broker-dealer) receives a markup on the interest charged on the loan. Your IAR is not compensated on margin loan balances and therefore does not have a conflict of interest in recommending the use of margin. Consequently, Cadaret Grant maintains policies and procedures to ensure recommendations made to you are in your best interest and in conjunction with the lack of compensation to your IAR, believe this mitigates the conflict of interest that Cadaret Grant has in recommending margin loans. LoanAdvance Program If your account is custodied with Pershing, you can participate in Pershing’s LoanAdvance™ program which enables clients to collateralize certain investment accounts to obtain secured loans. In LoanAdvance, clients are charged a rate of interest that is a floating rate not more than 3 percentage points above the Fed Funds Target Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 200 basis points. We receive compensation in an amount by which the interest rate is marked up over this rate and share it with your IAR. Cadaret Grant and our IARs have an incentive to recommend that Clients borrow money rather than liquidating some of their account assets so that Cadaret Grant and our IARs can continue to receive advisory fees on those assets. This results in additional compensation in connection with a client’s advisory account. Trading is permissible in the advisory account that is pledged for the loan; however, the collateral must meet Pershing’s LoanAdvance maintenance requirement to support the loan. Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Securities Lending You are able to enroll in Pershing’s Fully Paid Securities Lending program, which enables qualified clients to lend fully paid-for securities to Pershing. Pershing earns revenue from lending these securities and a portion of that revenue is shared with you, Cadaret Grant, and your IAR. Cadaret Grant and your IAR share in 5% of the revenue received. The receipt of this extra compensation creates a conflict in certain advisory programs in which your IAR acts as the portfolio manager. The conflict surrounds whether this extra compensation would cause your IAR to hold a security in your account that would have otherwise been liquidated but not for receipt of additional compensation. This conflict is mitigated by our requirement that investment decisions made by your IAR must be in your best interest, as well as the fact that if an account holds these positions, your IAR’s compensation will increase nominally, but the security will also generate income for your account. Not all accounts or clients qualify for this program. IARs who are registered representatives of Cadaret Grant also receive commissions from Cadaret Grant in their separate capacity as registered representatives of Cadaret Grant in connection with the sale of financial products they recommend. Receiving such commissions creates a conflict of interest for the IAR and our firm. Accordingly, we monitor and supervise these activities to ensure recommendations of financial products are suitable based upon your financial needs, investment objectives, and risk tolerance. Cash Sweep Options Cadaret Grant, through our clearing firm, Pershing, offers a cash sweep program to automatically move (sweep) uninvested cash balances held in brokerage accounts into either an interest-bearing Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insured deposit account through a Dreyfus Insured Deposits Program or a money market mutual fund, depending on the account type. Generally, each account is eligible for a single sweep product chosen specifically for that account type. Retail individual brokerage accounts (including investment advisory accounts), and business advisory or brokerage accounts are swept to the Dreyfus Insured Deposits P – Tiered Rate Product (“DIDP”), individual retirement accounts (IRAs) other than SIMPLE IRAs (SEPs) are swept to the Dreyfus Insured Deposits LF – Level Fee Product (“DILF”), and all ERISA Title I accounts are swept to the Dreyfus Government Cash Management – Investor Shares (“DGVXX”) money market mutual fund. For deposit accounts in the DIDP program, Pershing receives a fee from each participating bank receiving swept funds (each a “Program Bank”) equal to a percentage of the average daily deposits at the Program Banks. Pershing shares the fee with Cadaret Grant and a third-party administrator. The combined fee paid to Cadaret Grant, Pershing, and the administrator will not exceed 4% per year on the average daily balances held in all deposit accounts taken in the aggregate. Cadaret Grant receives a substantial portion of this fee but not more than 3.30% per year. For IRAs, Cadaret Grant receives a level monthly fee for each IRA that participates in the DILF program. The amount of this fee is determined based on a fee schedule indexed to the Federal Fund Target Rate published by the Federal Reserve System. The per account monthly fee will be no less than $0.58 and no more than $20.59. It is generally anticipated that the fee Cadaret Grant charges will be offset by the total amounts paid to us by the Program Banks. If Cadaret Grant does not receive sufficient payments each month from the Program Banks, Cadaret Grant reserves the right to debit your IRA account for the amount of any shortfall. Your deposits at each Program Bank are limited to $246,500, or $493,000 for a joint account (98.5% of the deposit insurance limit). Once this amount is reached at a Program Bank, additional amounts are deposited in subsequent Program Banks in amounts not to exceed $246,500 at each Program Bank. Any amounts deposited above the $2.490 million program maximum ($4.980 million for joint accounts) will be placed in shares of the DGVXX money market mutual fund and will not be covered by FDIC insurance. Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  For additional information on the DIDP and DILF program, please see the disclosure statement and terms and conditions booklets available on cadaretgrant.com/disclosures. The DGVXX money market mutual fund is eligible for protection by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). SIPC does not protect against the rise and fall in the value of investments. You may elect to turn off (i.e., opt out of) the automatic sweep feature by contacting your IAR. If you opt out, any cash balances in your account will remain as free credit balances and will not earn interest or be eligible for FDIC insurance but will remain eligible for SIPC coverage if maintained for the purpose of purchasing securities. Depending on interest rates and other market factors, the yields on the DIDP and DILF will be higher or lower than the aggregate fees received by Cadaret Grant for your participation in the sweep programs. When yields are lower, this results in a negative overall return with respect to cash balances in a sweep program. Interest rates applicable to DIDP or DILF are often lower than the interest rates available if you make deposits directly with a bank or other depository institution outside of Cadaret Grant’s brokerage platform or invest in a money market mutual fund or other cash equivalent. Cadaret Grant receives more revenue when cash is swept into DIDP or DILF than if your cash was invested in other products, including money market mutual funds. Therefore, Cadaret Grant has an incentive to place and maintain your assets in the DIDP and DILF programs to earn more income, which creates a conflict of interest. A further conflict of interest arises as a result of the financial incentive for Cadaret Grant to recommend and offer the DIDP due to Cadaret Grant’s control of certain functions. Cadaret Grant sets the interest rate tiers and the amount of the fee it receives for the DIDP, which generates additional compensation for Cadaret Grant. The compensation Cadaret Grant receives for DIDP and DILF is in addition to any remuneration Cadaret Grant and your IAR receive in connection with other transactions executed within your account for which advisory fees or other charges apply. We mitigate these types of conflicts by ensuring that your IAR does not receive any compensation from these sweep payments, and by maintaining policies and procedures to ensure that any recommendations made to you are in your best interest. You should compare the terms, interest rates, required minimum amounts, and other features of the sweep program with other types of accounts and investments for cash. The sweep products have limited purpose and are not meant as a long-term investment or a cash alternative. The DIDP and DILF programs are available only to clients of broker-dealers such as Cadaret Grant that clear through Pershing. Pershing is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and is affiliated with (a) The Bank of New York Mellon, a NY state-chartered bank, and BNY Mellon, National Association, a national banking association, both of which participate as Program Banks in DIDP and DILF, (b) Dreyfus Cash Solutions, a division of BNY Mellon Securities Corporation, which is a service provider for DIDP and DILF, and (c) Dreyfus, a division of BNY Mellon Investment Adviser, Inc. and the investment manager of the Dreyfus money market mutual fund made available to accounts not eligible for DIDP or DILF. Schwab Custodial Relationship Cadaret Grant may recommend that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab Advisor Services division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (Schwab), a registered broker-dealer, member SIPC, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect trades for their accounts. The final decision to custody assets with Schwab is at the discretion of the Advisor’s clients, including those accounts under ERISA or IRA rules and regulations, in which case the client is acting as either the plan sponsor or IRA accountholder. Schwab provides Cadaret Grant with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available to independent investment advisers on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor’s Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  clients’ assets are maintained in accounts at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab’s services include brokerage services that are related to the execution of securities transactions, custody, research, including that in the form of advice, analyses and reports, and access to mutual funds and other investments that are otherwise generally available only to institutional investors or would require a significantly higher minimum initial investment. Schwab generally does not charge separately for custody services for Cadaret Grant client accounts maintained at Schwab but is compensated by account holders through commissions or other transactions-related or asset- based fees for securities trades that are executed through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts. Schwab also makes available to Cadaret Grant other products and services that benefit Cadaret Grant but do not benefit its clients’ accounts. These benefits may include national, regional or Cadaret Grant specific educational events organized and/or sponsored by Schwab Advisor Services. Other potential benefits may include occasional business entertainment of personnel of Cadaret Grant by Schwab Advisor Services personnel, including meals, invitations to sporting events, including golf tournaments, and other forms of entertainment, some of which may accompany educational opportunities. Other of these products and services assist Cadaret Grant in managing and administering clients’ accounts. These include software and other technology (and related technological training) that provide access to client account data (such as trade confirmations and account statements), facilitate trade execution (and allocation of aggregated trade orders for multiple client accounts), provide research, pricing information and other market data, facilitate payment of Cadaret Grant’s fees from its clients’ accounts, and assist with back- office training and support functions, recordkeeping and client reporting. Many of these services generally may be used to service all or some substantial number of Cadaret Grant’s accounts, including accounts not maintained at Schwab Advisor Services. Schwab Advisor Services also makes available to Cadaret Grant other services intended to help Cadaret Grant manage and further develop its business enterprise. These services include professional compliance, legal and business consulting, publications and conferences on practice management, information technology, business succession, regulatory compliance, employee benefits providers, human capital consultants, insurance and marketing. In addition, Schwab makes available, arranges, and/or pays vendors for these types of services rendered to Cadaret Grant by independent third parties. Schwab Advisor Services may discount or waive fees 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 Cadaret Grant. Schwab also reimburses certain Cadaret Grant clients who open an account with Schwab for fees that they incur to close their accounts with another custodian and open an account and transition their assets to Schwab. There is a cap on the total fees that Schwab will reimburse each year and Cadaret Grant must transition a minimum number of new accounts and assets to Schwab to be eligible for the benefit. While, as a fiduciary, Cadaret Grant endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, you should expect that Cadaret Grant’s recommendation that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part on the benefit to Cadaret Grant of the availability of some of the foregoing products and service and other arrangements and not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by Schwab, which creates a conflict of interest. Review of Accounts Each IAR monitors his or her client accounts and conducts a review of accounts periodically. Factors that could result in additional reviews include, but are not limited to, significant market corrections, large deposits or withdrawals from an account, substantial changes in the value of a client’s portfolio, or a change in the client’s investment objectives or life circumstances. In addition to the account reviews conducted by IARs, transactions in APM accounts are subject to review by the IAR’s designated supervisor through an alert-based electronic transaction review system. IARs are also Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  subject to Cadaret Grant’s branch office examination program where a sampling of accounts and/or transactions are reviewed by the examiner. On a periodic basis, clients participating in Cadaret Grant’s sponsored advisory Wrap Fee and Non-Wrap Fee programs are sent a performance report. The account custodian also sends account statements on a monthly or quarterly basis. Although the information we provide in the performance reports is obtained from sources believed to be reliable, we urge you to compare the holdings listed on the custodian’s statement to those listed on reports Cadaret Grant or your IAR provide. You should carefully review all statements and performance reports. If any discrepancies are noted, you should contact us at the number on the cover page of this Brochure. Client Referrals and Other Compensation IAR Compensation Cadaret Grant pays your IAR compensation of various types. We compensate our IARs pursuant to independent contractor agreements. IAR compensation includes a portion of the advisory fee you pay us, which may be more or less than what your IAR would receive at another advisory firm. An IAR who earns over an annual threshold amount is eligible for a percentage payout increase on future compensation. In addition, we offer financial incentives, in the form of cash bonuses and forgivable (“compensatory”) loans, to reward IARs for increasing their assets serviced or annual revenue. Certain IARs are employed by another financial services company or individual providing financial services from which these IARs receive a salary or bonus for their services in addition to their Cadaret Grant compensation. Whenever compensation is based on assets serviced or annual revenue, an IAR has a conflict of interest and financial incentive to meet those revenue or asset levels in order to receive increased compensation, including by encouraging you to increase the amount of assets in your account. In some cases, we pay a portion of a IAR’s compensation to an IAR’s designated supervisor(s). This creates a conflict of interest because the compensation affects the designated supervisor’s ability to provide objective supervision of the IAR. Cadaret Grant and our designated supervisors have an obligation to supervise IARs and may decide to terminate an IAR’s association with Cadaret Grant based on performance, a disciplinary event, or other factors. The amount of assets serviced or revenue generated by an IAR creates a conflict of interest when considering whether to terminate an IAR. Other Benefits IARs who meet internal criteria (which includes, but is not limited to, revenue generated from sales of products and services) are eligible to receive certain benefits pursuant to special incentive programs. These benefits include eligibility for practice management support and enhanced service support levels that confer a variety of benefits, conferences (e.g., for education, networking, training, and personal and professional development), and other non-cash compensation. These benefits also include free or reduced cost marketing materials, reimbursement or credits of fees that IARs pay to Cadaret Grant for items such as administrative services or technology, and payments that can be in the form of repayable or compensatory loans (e.g., for retention purposes or to assist an IAR grow his or her advisory practice). The availability of these benefits presents a conflict of interest because an IAR has an incentive to recommend to clients our investment products and services and to remain with Cadaret Grant to receive these benefits. Recruitment Compensation and Operational Assistance Cadaret Grant provides recruitment compensation and other financial incentives to IARs transitioning from other financial services firms to Cadaret Grant. This transition assistance includes payments that are intended to assist an IAR with costs associated with the transition; however, we do not verify that any payments made are actually used by an IAR for transition costs. Transition assistance payments can be used for a variety of Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  purposes such as providing working capital to assist in funding the IAR’s business, offsetting account transfer fees payable to a custodian as a result of clients transitioning to Cadaret Grant’s platforms, technology set-up fees, marketing, mailing and stationery costs, registration and licensing fees, moving and office space expenses, staffing support, and termination fees associated with moving accounts. These payments can be in the form of repayable and/or compensatory loans, and are subject to favorable interest rate terms, as compared to other lenders. In the case of compensatory loans, the loans are forgiven if an IAR continues his or her association with Cadaret Grant for a certain period of time or if the IAR meets other conditions, which can include a requirement to maintain a certain level of assets or generate a certain amount of revenue at Cadaret Grant. An IARs receipt of a loan from Cadaret Grant presents a conflict of interest in that the IAR has a financial incentive to maintain a relationship with Cadaret Grant and recommend Cadaret Grant to clients. The amount of recruitment compensation provided by Cadaret Grant is often substantial in relation to the overall revenue earned or compensation received by an IAR at his or her prior firm. Such recruitment compensation is typically based on a percentage of an IAR's business established at their prior firm, for example, a percentage of the revenue earned, or assets serviced at the prior firm, or on the size of the assets that transition to Cadaret Grant. Recruitment compensation provided to IARs does not directly benefit clients. You should consider the recruitment compensation your IAR receives in evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation arrangement between you, your IAR, and Cadaret Grant. Growth Incentives Cadaret Grant provides financial incentives to reward IARs for increasing their assets serviced or annual revenue by specific amounts in the form of cash bonuses and compensatory loans. Conflicts of Interest A conflict of interest is created when Cadaret Grant provides financial incentives to IARs for moving assets to Cadaret Grant or increasing their assets serviced or annual revenue at Cadaret Grant. The conflict is due to the IAR having a financial incentive to maintain his or her relationship with Cadaret Grant, transition assets to Cadaret Grant, and recommend investment products or services that generate more revenue as compared to other investments in order to receive a benefit or payment. We attempt to mitigate these conflicts by reviewing our client accounts and transactions to ensure that we have a reasonable basis to believe the recommended services and transactions are consistent with a client’s stated goals, objectives, preferences, and needs and are in a client’s best interest. However, you should be aware of this conflict and take it into consideration in deciding whether to establish or maintain a relationship with Cadaret Grant and your IAR. Further information about Cadaret Grant and your IAR’s source of compensation and conflicts of interest is described in our Brokerage Services Disclosure Summary on our website under Disclosures (cadaretgrant.com/disclosures/). Continuing Compensation Cadaret Grant makes available a program to provide continuing compensation to an IAR’s estate/heirs upon the IAR’s death or retirement (“inactive IAR”). Continuing compensation includes recurring advisory fees and brokerage commissions received by Cadaret Grant attributable to accounts established by the inactive IAR during his or her association with the firm. To ensure continuity, an IAR names a qualified successor IAR to provide ongoing services to his or her clients. The successor IAR shares an agreed percentage of the ongoing compensation with the inactive IAR’s estate/heirs for up to five years. Program eligibility is based on minimum tenure and other qualification Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  standards established by Cadaret Grant. Other Firm Compensation As discussed below and elsewhere in this brochure, Cadaret Grant receives compensation, which can be substantial, from various parties in connection with providing services to clients. In many cases, this compensation is in addition to any advisory fees that clients pay and is not passed on or credited to clients unless otherwise noted. When evaluating the reasonability of Cadaret Grant’s fees, a client should not consider just the advisory fees Cadaret Grant charges, but also the other compensation Cadaret Grant receives. Indirect Compensation and Revenue Sharing Cadaret Grant receives compensation and/or fees (also referred to as revenue sharing or marketing support) from certain mutual fund sponsors (including money market funds), insurance (fixed and variable product) issuers, UIT, ETF, alternative investment, and structured product sponsors, and unaffiliated investment advisers that sponsor, manage, and/or promote the sale of certain products that are available to our clients. Product sponsors and third-party investment advisers (“Partners”) pay this compensation to Cadaret Grant in what we call our Partners Program. Partners pay different amounts of revenue sharing fees and receive different levels of benefits for their payments. These payments can be substantial and, as such, create a conflict of interest for Cadaret Grant because the payments constitute additional revenue to us and can influence the selection of investments and services Cadaret Grant and/or our IARs offer or recommend to clients. We seek to mitigate this conflict of interest by not sharing revenue sharing payments with our IARs. An IAR’s compensation is the same regardless of whether a sale involves a Partner’s product or service. In some cases, Partners pay additional marketing payments to Cadaret Grant to cover fees to attend conferences or reimburse expenses for workshops or seminars. The payments made under the Partners Program are based either on gross sales or assets under management, or on a flat fee arrangement, and vary by Partner. When Partners pay a flat fee (or marketing allowance) it is negotiated annually. This payment assists with costs related to education, training, conference attendance, reimbursement for workshops or seminars and marketing materials for our IARs. We do not share any marketing allowance with our IARs. The benefits Partners receive include our IAR contact lists, business metrics, preferred placement on our website, participation in product training initiatives and marketing and sales campaigns, and the ability to participate in our conferences. We use the revenue from our Partners Program to support certain marketing, training, and educational initiatives including our conferences and events. The conferences and events provide a venue to communicate new products and services to our registered representatives and IARs, to offer training to them and their support staff, and to keep them abreast of regulatory requirements. The revenue is also used to pay for annual awards for our registered representatives and IARs who generate the most revenue overall and to pay for our general marketing expenses. A Cadaret Grant registered representative or IAR who earns total compensation over a threshold amount receives an award, in the form of a trophy, medal, or plaque, and is invited to attend Cadaret Grant’s top producer conference. Revenue from the Partners Program helps to pay for top producer conference costs. Top producing Cadaret Grant registered representatives and IARs receive an award based on total revenues, including but not limited to sales of Partners’ mutual funds, annuities, structured products, and ETFs. We prepare and make available to our IARs a quarterly list of Partners Program mutual funds and ETFs that have been screened for investment performance against other Partners’ funds with similar objectives and asset classes (the “Select Fund List” or “List”). Cadaret Grant and our IARs have a conflict of interest when an IAR Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  chooses or recommends an investment from the Select Fund List for your portfolio because Cadaret Grant receives revenue sharing fees from the mutual fund or ETF sponsor. Our receipt of revenue sharing fees influences our selection of mutual funds and ETFs, as we are likely to recommend a fund or ETF whose sponsor pays us revenue sharing fees over a fund or ETF whose sponsor does not pay us. You do not pay more to purchase funds from the List through Cadaret Grant than you would pay to purchase these funds through another broker-dealer, and your IAR does not receive additional compensation for selecting a fund from the List. IARs are not required to choose or recommend investments from the Select Fund List. Cadaret Grant also receives compensation from certain unaffiliated or third-party investment advisers (including certain SMA Managers, Sub-Managers, Strategists, and Model Providers) to assist in paying for ongoing marketing and sales support activities including training, educational meetings, due diligence reviews, and day-to-day marketing and/or promotional activities. Not all third-party investment advisers pay such compensation and participating third-party investment advisers change over time. The compensation arrangements vary and are generally structured as a fixed dollar amount or as a percentage of sales and/or assets under management with the adviser. A conflict of interest exists where Cadaret Grant receives such compensation because there is an incentive to recommend these third-party advisors over other investment advisers to generate additional revenue for the firm. However, our IARs are not required to recommend any third-party adviser providing additional compensation, nor do they directly share in any of this compensation. Our IARs receive additional compensation from product sponsors. However, such compensation is not tied to the sales of any products. Compensation includes such items as gifts valued at less than $100 annually, an occasional dinner or ticket to a sporting event, or reimbursement in connection with educational meetings or marketing or advertising initiatives, including services for identifying prospects. Product sponsors sometimes also pay for or reimburse us for the costs associated with education or training events that are attended by our IARs and for Cadaret Grant-sponsored conferences and events. We also receive reimbursement from product sponsors for technology-related costs associated with investment proposal tools they make available to our IARs for use with clients. To see Cadaret Grant’s Third-Party Fee Disclosure, which identifies the participants in the Partners Program, along with revenue sharing arrangements by product type, please visit the Disclosures section of our website at www.cadaretgrant.com/disclosures. Client Referrals From time to time, Cadaret Grant and/or its IARs enter into arrangements with clients, third parties or other financial intermediaries for lead generation, client referrals or solicitation for program accounts (collectively, “solicitation arrangements”). These solicitation arrangements range from largely impersonal referrals to specific client introductions to Cadaret Grant and its IARs. Under solicitation arrangements, the third parties and financial intermediaries are independent contractors. In most cases, third parties are not advisory clients of Cadaret Grant and do not refer clients based on their experience with Cadaret Grant as advisory clients. The compensation paid under the solicitation arrangements is structured in various ways, including a one-time fee, a flat fee per lead or referral, and sharing a portion of the ongoing advisory fee. Cadaret Grant and its IARs have generally entered referral networks operated by third parties. Referral networks present potential clients with a list of possible investing firms and investment advisory representatives, or direct potential clients specifically only to Cadaret Grant and its IARs. Some referral networks receive a flat fee per referral and/or an ongoing fee, while others share a portion of the ongoing advisory fee. Contour Part 2A Appendix 1 Wrap Fee Program Brochure Rev. 03/28/2025 Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Cadaret Grant & Co., Inc. Member FINRA/SIPC Member FINRA/SIPC  Depending on the solicitor’s arrangement with Cadaret Grant, a solicitor may not be compensated for referring a client who opens a brokerage account rather than an advisory account, and as a result may encourage the client to open an advisory account instead of a brokerage account. Solicitation arrangements give rise to material conflicts of interest because the referring party has a financial incentive to introduce new investment advisory clients to Cadaret Grant and its IARs. Solicitors may also have other conflicts of interest with respect to a particular IAR or may be associated with Cadaret Grant in another way. Clients who are introduced to Cadaret Grant and its IARs through a solicitation arrangement receive specific disclosures at the time of the introduction. If you receive such disclosures, you should review them carefully to understand the details of Cadaret Grant’s arrangements with the person introducing you to Cadaret Grant. Cadaret Grant’s participation in these referral arrangements does not diminish its fiduciary obligations to its clients. Cadaret Grant and its IARs can offer advisory services on the premises of unaffiliated financial institutions, like banks or credit unions. In such a case, Cadaret Grant will enter into networking agreement with a financial institution pursuant to which we share compensation, including a portion of the advisory fee, with the financial institution for the use of the financial institution’s facilities and for client referrals. Custody Cadaret Grant has limited custody of our clients’ funds and/or securities when clients authorize us to deduct our management fees directly from their client’s account. Cadaret Grant is also deemed to have custody of a client’s funds and/or securities when a client has on file a standing letter of authorization (“SLOA”) with the account custodian to move money from the client’s account to a third-party and the SLOA authorizes us to designate, based on your instructions from time to time, the amount or timing of the transfers. Cadaret Grant also engages in other practices and/or services on behalf of our clients where we are deemed to have custody of a client’s funds and/or securities, such as our IARs acting as trustees or executors to an estate. Cadaret Grant complies with the SEC’s Custody Rule including engaging an independent public accountant to verify funds and securities of which it is deemed to have custody at least once a year. Cadaret Grant has an arrangement with Custodians to provide clearance and custody of Contour accounts. The Custodian: (a) maintains custody of all account assets, (b) executes and performs clearance of purchase and sale orders in accounts, and (c) performs all custodial functions customarily performed with respect to securities brokerage accounts, including but not limited to the crediting of interest and dividends on account assets. The Custodian delivers client account statements as well as confirmation of each purchase and sale to you. You can agree in writing to receive transaction information at least quarterly via a quarterly confirmation report in lieu of trade-by-trade confirmations. Non-Wrap Fee Contour APM accounts are not eligible to receive the quarterly confirmation report as this option is only available for wrap fee, discretionary accounts. The Custodian acts as the general administrator of each account, which includes collecting account fees on Cadaret Grant’s behalf and processing, pursuant to Cadaret Grant’s instructions, deposits to and withdrawals from the account. The Custodians do not assist clients in selecting Cadaret Grant or any investment objective or in determining suitability. You retain ownership of all cash, securities, and other instruments in the account. You should receive at least quarterly statements from the Custodian. We urge you to compare the holdings listed on the custodian’s statement to those listed on reports Cadaret Grant or your IAR provide.
