Material Changes Since our annual update filed on March 27, 2024, the following material changes were made: Item 4.A.1 Introduction We added a description of the client segment eligibility criteria. Citi Personal Wealth Management (“CPWM”) CPWM offers investment advisory accounts to clients across various segments. • Citigold Private Client: The Citigold Private Client (“CPC”) segment at Citibank is intended to serve clients with greater than $1,000,000 in total combined eligible assets at CPWM and Citibank. • Citigold: The Citigold segment at Citibank is aimed at clients with between $200,000 and $999,999 in total combined eligible assets at CPWM and Citibank. • Citi Priority: Citi Priority clients at Citibank have total combined eligible assets at CPWM and Citibank of between $30,000 and $199,999. Citi Personal Investments International (“CPII”) CPII offers investment advisory accounts primarily to offshore clients and investors across the below segments. • Citigold® Private Client International • Citigold® International • Citi International Personal Account • Citi Global Executive and Citi Global Executive Preferred Citi Private Bank (“CPB”) CPB offers investment advisory solutions to its clients through CGMI, CGA and CPA in the North America and Latin America regions, across multiple private office locations covering the following client segments: • Ultra High Net Worth: This segment caters to clients typically with upwards of $25 million in net worth, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, large family offices and others. • High Net Worth: This segment caters to clients typically with between $10 million and $25 million in net worth, including senior executives, business owners, family offices, and others. Citi Global Wealth at Work (“WaW”) • Law Firm Group: This segment caters to law firms and their employees. • Professional Services Group: This segment caters to professional services providers, such as consultancies, accounting firms, and executive search firms, and their employees. • Asset Management Group: This segment caters to wealth management firms and their employees. 3 • Enterprise Group: This segment caters to small to mid-size public and private institutions, such as technology and life science firms as well as healthcare groups, and their employees. Item 4.A.4 Fiduciary Services Program (“FS”) and Manager Selection Program (“MSP”) We updated the description to include that strategies offered by Citi Investment Management (“CIM”) (as separately managed accounts) are available to Citi Personal Wealth Management and Citi Personal Investments International clients as part of the FS Program and that these strategies are managed by Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of CGMI. When clients select CIM managed strategies as part of FS, the single asset-based fee that clients pay CGMI covers any fees payable to CIM. As a result, CIM does not directly charge or receive from clients a separate investment manager fee for its services. CIM effects transactions in fixed income securities exclusively through broker-dealers other than CGMI or Clearing Firm and additional trading and execution costs such as markups, markdowns or spreads are charged to the client; the fee payable to CGMI does not cover such costs. See “Item 4.C.-Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” for more information about trading away. Clients should understand that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have financial incentives to recommend CIM managed strategies over unaffiliated investment managers that charge a separate, third-party portfolio manager fee because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher management fee for themselves, and (ii) increase assets under management for its affiliate; this creates conflicts of interest. Specifically, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate CIM manager fee is not charged in these Programs, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee due to lower overall cost to the client when a client selects CIM than they could negotiate if the client had selected an unaffiliated investment manager that charges a separate management fee. Thus, CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend CIM managed strategies. In addition to these financial incentives, there are reputational, marketing and non- pecuniary benefits that accrue to both CGMI and CIM when CIM increases its assets under management. In addition, the CGMI fee schedule in FS and MSP for equity, balanced and multi-style strategies is higher than the fee schedule for fixed income strategies. Clients should understand that the structure of the fee schedule in these Programs creates a financial incentive for CGMI financial advisers to recommend equity, balanced and multi-style strategies instead of fixed income in order to earn more fees. Further, unlike the negotiable CGMI fee, the third party manager fees in FS and MSP are not negotiable. As a result, when a client selects a third party managed strategy that costs less than other available comparable strategies, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher fee for themselves (with a lower overall cost to the client). The opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee creates an incentive to recommend a manager that charges a lower fee than other managers offering comparable strategies at a higher cost, as a higher CGMI fee benefits both the financial adviser as well as CGMI. See “Item 6.B Portfolio Manager for Wrap Fee Programs” and “Item 4.D–Compensation” for more information about these conflicts of interest. In addition to the update described above, beginning this year, third-party investment managers participating in FS and MSP may include funds that provide exposure to digital assets in asset allocation models, which pose unique risks. Item 4.A.4 Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program and Advisory Portfolios Program We updated these subsections to consolidate and enhance conflicts of interest disclosures relating to selection of CIM managed strategies in these Programs. Clients should understand 4 that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have financial incentives to recommend CIM managed strategies over unaffiliated investment managers that charge a separate, third-party portfolio manager fee because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher management fee for themselves, and (ii) increase assets under management for its affiliate; this creates conflicts of interest. Specifically, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate CIM manager fee is not charged in these Programs, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee due to lower overall cost to the client when a client selects CIM than they could negotiate if the client had selected an unaffiliated investment manager that charges a separate management fee. Thus, CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend CIM managed strategies. In addition to these financial incentives, there are reputational, marketing and non-pecuniary benefits that accrue to both CGMI and CIM when CIM increases its assets under management. The Citi Unstoppable Trends Portfolio option was renamed MACS Global Opportunities Portfolio. Item 4.A.4 Citi Advisor Program, Consulting and Evaluation Services Program (“CES”) and Citi Portfolio Manager Program (“PMP”) We updated these subsections to consolidate and enhance conflicts of interest disclosures. In CES, clients should understand the CGMI fee schedule for equity and balanced strategies is higher than the fee schedule for fixed income strategies. This creates a conflict of interest and a financial incentive for CGMI financial advisers to recommend equity and balanced strategies instead of fixed income in order to earn more fees. In addition, when a client selects a third party managed strategy that costs less than other available comparable strategies, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher fee for itself with a lower overall cost to the client. This also creates conflicts of interest. In Citi Advisor and PMP, clients should understand that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have financial incentives to recommend these Programs over Programs that charge a CGMI manager fee and a separate, third-party portfolio manager fee because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher fee for themselves, and (ii) increase their assets under management; this creates conflicts of interest. Specifically, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate third-party manager fee is not charged in these Programs, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI fee and recommend such Programs with a lower overall cost to the client than comparable Programs that charge a CGMI and third-party portfolio manager fee. Both CGMI and CGMI financial advisers benefit from these opportunities because each receives compensation based on the amount of client’s total annual CGMI fees. Item 4.A.4 Model Allocations Portfolios Program (“MAP”) Third-party investment managers participating in MAP may include funds that provide exposure to digital assets in asset allocation models. Item 4.A.5.B. Relative Costs of CGMI We updated this section to explain that clients may be able to obtain some or all of the services described in this brochure from CGMI or an affiliate without participating in a Program. In that case, a client’s total cost would be lower than the fees charged in connection with the Programs. For example, CIM managed strategies are available to clients through the Multi- Asset Class Solutions, Advisory Portfolio and Fiduciary Services Programs. It is important for Citi Private Bank and Citi Global Wealth at Work clients interested in CIM managed strategies to understand that they can retain CIM directly and negotiate fees with CIM to manage assets outside of a Program at a lower cost than retaining CIM through the 5 Programs. However, for all other clients, CIM managed strategies are only available as part of the FS Program. Section 4.A.5. All Programs • We included a description of how clients may request in writing to link two or more eligible accounts for fee billing purposes. Not all accounts are eligible to be linked, for example, accounts held by employee benefit plans subject to ERISA are not eligible. Only accounts where the client is an authorized signer can be linked. CGMI will not automatically link any accounts. • We enhanced disclosures relating to the trading practices of investment managers in the CGMI investment advisory programs described in this brochure. In particular, clients should understand that the extent to which an investment manager trades away from CGMI or Pershing increases the client’s total cost of investing in an advisory program. Investment managers that elect to trade away will be more costly to clients than those investment managers that trade exclusively or primarily with CGMI or Pershing. Due to these additional trading related costs being reflected in the net price of the transaction, clients are encouraged to review the historical performance of investment managers that trade away to assess the impact of these additional costs. • We also described the trade rotation process for the CIM managed equity strategies that are available to CPWM and CPII clients in the FS Program and CPB and WaW clients outside of a CGMI advisory program, which means CIM effects trades for one group of clients before the other group, and vice versa, on an alternating basis. Depending upon market conditions and the potential market impact of the first set of trades, one group of clients may receive more favorable prices than the other. This trade rotation process is designed to ensure that clients are treated fairly over time. Item 4.D. Compensation We updated the subsection on the compensation of CPWM financial advisers to describe that CGMI has established a recruitment program that in certain respects creates a conflict of interest because CGMI provides recruitment compensation to certain newly associated financial advisers to assist with transitioning their business to CGMI. This compensation includes loans which are generally based on the financial adviser’s business at their prior firm, as well as the amount of investment assets from new clients, and quarterly bonuses based on reaching or maintaining certain amounts of assets under management and other criteria. This type of arrangement creates an incentive to provide advice or make recommendations to add assets to CGMI advisory accounts and to invest through new products and services, including to transfer your account and investments to CGMI in order to qualify for quarterly bonuses which could be used to repay the loans. Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss We enhanced the risk disclosures to include risks associated with investment in digital asset investment products and alternative mutual funds. Item 9.B.3. Client Referrals and Other Compensation We described how employees and officers of Citigroup and its affiliates have family and other relationships with individuals or entities that CGMI and its affiliates engage in transactions with, including relationships with individuals employed by the sponsors of funds we include on our platform. Such relationships present conflicts of interest for CGMI and its affiliates. CGMI mitigates these conflicts by requiring materially conflicted individuals to recuse themselves from the approval of such funds and transactions. 6 General The Forum for the Review and Approval of Managers was renamed the Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers. In addition, we have made other changes that we do not consider to be material. Please read the full brochure for additional information regarding the changes described above. Capitalized terms used in this section have the meanings assigned to them in the main body of the brochure. [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] 7 Item 3. Table of Contents ITEM 1.

Introduction This brochure provides information about Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) and the investment advisory services it provides to clients of Citi Private Bank (“CPB”), Citi Global Wealth at Work (“WaW”), Citi Personal Wealth Management (“CPWM”), and Citi Personal Investments International (“CPII”). Each of CPB, WaW, CPWM and CPII is a business unit of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), and CGMI is a subsidiary of Citigroup. CGMI is registered as an investment adviser and a broker-dealer with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For purposes of this brochure, CPWM and CPII are referred to as “CPWM/CPII” and does not include the CPB and WaW client segments. Citi Wealth is an integrated wealth platform intended to serve clients across the wealth continuum. Citi Wealth serves ultra-high-net worth individuals and family offices through CPB, captures wealth management in the workplace through WaW, and operates in the affluent and high-net worth segments through CPWM and CPII, including through the Citigold® and Citigold Private Client offerings. Citi Wealth also offers an investment solutions platform which allows Citi Wealth to deliver traditional and alternative investments, managed account solutions, research and advice for all Citi clients. Please refer to the In The Know booklets accompanying your account statement for information regarding any changes or revisions to your account(s) with Citi. CGMI provides a variety of services designed to meet the investment advisory and related needs of individual and institutional clients. The investment advisory services described in this brochure are offered through separate advisory programs (“Programs”). Each Program features some or all of the following services: selection of, or assistance in selecting, investment managers; ongoing evaluation and review of certain investment managers; ongoing evaluation and review of certain mutual funds and exchange traded funds; evaluation and review of the composition of selected portfolios; discretionary portfolio management; custody; execution; implementation services; and reports of activity in a client’s account. In certain Programs, clients’ assets are managed by CGMI or one of its affiliates. In other Programs, clients’ assets are managed by third party investment managers. Information about each third party investment manager that participates in the Programs is contained in separate brochures that are either provided to the client or available upon request. Clients should read and consider carefully the information contained in this brochure and in the brochures of any relevant third party investment managers. While CGMI believes that its professional investment advice can benefit many clients, there is no assurance that the objectives of any client in any of the Programs described will be achieved. Client Segments CPWM CPWM offers investment advisory accounts to clients across various segments. In order to qualify for certain Citibank benefits, clients must maintain an eligible deposit or savings account at Citibank. Eligibility requirements and terms and conditions apply to such benefits and are set forth in your agreements with Citibank. • Citigold Private Client: The Citigold Private Client (“CPC”) segment at Citibank is intended to serve clients with greater than $1,000,000 in total combined eligible assets at CPWM and Citibank. In addition to all of the Citigold benefits, CPC clients also enjoy access to an expanded wealth team, complimentary advanced financial planning, premier investing services, research, lifestyle and global travel benefits, preferred pricing, and fee-free services. Clients also have access to a Citigold Private Client Servicing Team (call center support). 9 • Citigold: The Citigold segment at Citibank is aimed at clients with between $200,000 and $999,999 in total combined eligible assets at CPWM and Citibank. Citigold clients enjoy premier banking benefits, comprehensive wealth management, complimentary financial planning, lifestyle and global travel benefits, preferred pricing, and fee-free services. Clients also have access to a Citigold Servicing Team (call center support). • Citi Priority: Citi Priority clients at Citibank have total combined eligible assets at CPWM and Citibank of between $30,000 and $199,999. Clients in this channel are also entitled to support and service from a Personal Banker for banking and a Citi Priority Servicing Team (call center support), global travel benefits, segment pricing and fee waivers. CPII CPII offers investment advisory accounts primarily to offshore clients and investors across the below segments. To open an investment advisory account with CPII, a client must have a bank account with Citibank. A bank client may have a certain status with respect to banking or other activities based on assets held at Citi or other factors. Eligibility for each segment depends on the amount of depository assets you have and banking fees may vary per channel. Although such status may entitle a client to certain privileges and benefits with respect to banking or other activities, the investment advisory accounts offered by CPII generally are made available to each CPII client on the same terms. Bank accounts are governed by the terms of your agreements with Citibank. • Citigold® Private Client International • Citigold® International • Citi International Personal Account • Citi Global Executive and Citi Global Executive Preferred CPB CPB offers investment advisory solutions to its clients through CGMI, CGA and CPA in the North America and Latin America regions. A Private Banker is at the center of each client relationship. The Private Banker develops and coordinates investment strategies and solutions for individual client needs, with support from Investment Counselors, Product Specialists and others within the Private Bank, across multiple private office locations covering the following client segments: • Ultra High Net Worth: This segment caters to clients typically with upwards of $25 million in net worth, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, real estate investors, large family offices and others. • High Net Worth: This segment caters to clients typically with between $10 million and $25 million in net worth, including senior executives, business owners, family offices, and others. WaW WaW offers investment advisory solutions to its clients through CGMI, CGA and CPA to clients in the following client segments: • Law Firm Group: This segment caters to law firms and their employees. • Professional Services Group: This segment caters to professional services providers, such as consultancies, accounting firms, and executive search firms, and their employees. 10 • Asset Management Group: This segment caters to wealth management firms and their employees. • Enterprise Group: This segment caters to small to mid-size public and private institutions, such as technology and life science firms as well as healthcare groups, and their employees. A.2. CGMI’s Advisory Services Through the Programs, CGMI offers accounts that have a single investment strategy as well as accounts with multiple strategies. The strategies differ depending upon the services to be rendered and the objectives and guidelines of the client. The investment strategies will involve long-term or short-term purchases of securities and other financial instruments. To subscribe for services offered through a Program, clients must first enter into a program agreement (a “Program Agreement”) with CGMI or Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). Citibank is a national banking association supervised and examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Citibank, like CGMI, is a subsidiary of Citigroup. In the Program Agreement, the client appoints CGMI to act as the client’s investment adviser and agent and to provide the services related to the relevant Program. In discretionary investment advisory Programs, the client also grants to CGMI and, if applicable, other investment managers, investment discretion and trading authority necessary to deliver the services provided through such Programs. The Programs in which a client is eligible to participate differ depending on whether the client is a client of CPB, WaW, or is a client of CPWM/CPII. Furthermore, due to the global nature of Citigroup’s business and the various regulatory and licensing regimes throughout the world, certain Programs that CGMI offers to clients in the United States are offered to clients outside of the United States through Citibank and its branches and other affiliates, which are licensed and approved to conduct business in those non-U.S. markets. In providing services through the Programs, CGMI generally relies on fundamental analysis with supplemental technical analysis, which may include charting or cyclical review. Information is derived from many sources. Personnel involved in providing investment advisory services have access to CGMI’s research facilities as well as CGMI’s and its affiliates’ economists and specialists in all major industry groups. Information may also be obtained from various other sources, including financial publications (including newspapers, research reports, the internet and magazines); industry manuals and publications; inspections of corporate activities; direct contact with a company’s employees and management, press releases and other reports released by companies; annual reports, prospectuses and filings made with the SEC; research materials prepared by others; governmental reports; timing services; and corporate rating services. Not all strategies are appropriate for all clients. Instead, CGMI will only recommend the strategies that it believes are suitable for a client’s account. Even though each client’s account is personalized to its needs, and the Programs are based on different methodologies (e.g., asset allocation or investment recommendations generally differ among the Programs), there can be a substantial degree of uniformity across client accounts as a result of the common investment objectives of clients participating in the Programs. CGMI periodically reviews client accounts for product appropriateness and may, in its determination, terminate client accounts. A.3. Clearing and Custody Services Pershing LLC (together with certain of its affiliates, “Pershing” or “Clearing Firm”) acts as clearing firm for the Programs and custodian of client assets in connection with certain Programs, and Citibank acts as custodian of client assets in connection with other Programs. Each of Pershing and Citibank is a “qualified custodian” within the meaning of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), otherwise known as the “Custody Rule.” 11 In its capacity as clearing firm, Pershing provides a variety of services for the Programs. These services include, without limitation, holding client account assets in custody (for certain Programs), settling transactions, sending trade confirmations, account statements and tax reporting documentation, and other operational account-related services. Pershing will not provide (and should not be construed as providing) clients with any investment advice in connection with the Programs. CGMI compensates Pershing for the services it provides to us in relation to the Program. Among other fees, Pershing charges us a fixed annual fee for each client account. Under our arrangement with Pershing, Pershing reduces the fees it charges to us as follows: (i) for CPB and WaW accounts, CGMI receives a one-time credit from Pershing for each new non- retirement Program account ($450 per account) and (ii) for CPWM and CPII accounts, for new non-retirement Program assets under management established with Pershing, CGMI receive 0.043% of new assets, capped at $860, per account. Pershing provides these credits to CGMI so long as the number of new accounts or amount of new assets under management, respectively, exceeds the applicable baseline which is agreed between us and Pershing on a quarterly basis. To address this conflict, we have policies and procedures regarding recommendations of account types. CGMI does not share these credits with registered representatives, though compensation of representatives generally will be greater if more new accounts are opened or new assets come under management. For wire transfer and outgoing account transfer services, CGMI charges fees to its clients as reflected in the standard fee schedule for account services. Note that these fees charged by CGMI to its clients include a mark-up of the amounts charged to CGMI by Pershing for these services, and CGMI’s portion of the fee frequently constitutes a majority (or all) of CGMI’s charge to the client for the service. Revenue from these services is not shared with registered representatives. See “Item 4.C. – Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” for more information about these service fees. For non-purpose loans obtained through Pershing, the interest rate charged to clients by CGMI includes a mark up over that the rate charged by Pershing because CGMI provides services associated with such loans. This mark up historically has varied but has been up to, 3.75% (this is not a cap, however). Interest paid on these loans is thus shared by Pershing and CGMI. Note that registered representatives receive a portion of, or credit for, interest paid on such loans. CGMI seeks to ensure that the total interest rate charged to clients for these non- purpose loans is competitive compared to the rates offered by other lenders. See “Item 9.A.2. – Lending Against Advisory Accounts” for more information about non-purpose lending. We also receive revenue sharing payments in respect of cash sweep options (i.e., money market mutual funds, Bank Deposit Program) held in Program accounts in limited circumstances for brief periods relating to account conversions. See “Item 9.B.3. – Conflicts of Interest Pertaining to Cash Sweep Options” for more information about when we receive revenue sharing payments from cash sweep options held in Program accounts. CGMI’s financial arrangement with Pershing gives us an incentive to continue to use Pershing and its services as the clearing firm for the Programs and thus creates a conflict of interest with our clients. Moreover, in addition to the revenue sharing opportunities described above, with respect to any cost savings or other advantages, which may differ by product line or distribution channel, CGMI is not obligated to pass along the savings, rebates or other benefits to clients. CGMI seeks to mitigate this conflict by evaluating and monitoring the services it receives from Pershing to ensure retaining Pershing continues to serve clients’ interests, in accordance with its vendor management policies and procedures. The cost to terminate our arrangement with Pershing decreases over time, which gives us a financial incentive to continue our relationship with Pershing. 12 In acting as a custodian, Citibank utilizes certain back office services of its affiliates. CGMI reserves the right at any time, and without notice to clients, to terminate the delegation of some or all of these custody and clearing services and to assume or further delegate responsibility for such services. In limited circumstances, clients may select another third-party qualified custodian to maintain custody of client assets. A.4. Types of Advisory Services Offered As noted immediately below, the Programs in which a client is eligible to participate differ depending on whether the client is a client of CPB, WaW, or CPWM/CPII. Furthermore, as discussed above in “Item A.2. – CGMI’s Advisory Services,” the Programs in which a client is eligible to participate will differ based on country of residence, which can determine whether the client enters into its Program Agreement with CGMI or Citibank or another affiliate. Regardless of whether the client’s relationship is with CPB, WaW, or CPWM/CPII, CGMI will serve (either directly or indirectly) as the client’s investment adviser in connection with the Program the client selects. CGMI delegates certain of the services described below to one or more of its affiliates. Investments made through the Programs are inherently speculative and involve the risk of loss of capital. There is no guarantee that any Program or investment will achieve its objectives or that losses will be avoided. The past performance of a Program or an investment made through a Program is not indicative of future performance. Neither CGMI nor any of its affiliates makes any representations or warranties in this brochure with respect to the present or future level of risk or volatility in any Program or investment, or any Program’s or investment’s future performance or activities. Set forth below are lists of the Programs for which different clients are eligible along with descriptions of each of the Programs, including details about the investment management services provided and associated fees. Program Eligibility – Clients of CPB and WaW CPB and WaW clients who enter into a Program Agreement with CGMI are eligible to participate in the following Programs: • • • • • Manager Selection Program Consulting and Evaluation Services Program Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program -- Multi-Asset Class Solutions Discretionary Bespoke -- Multi-Asset Class Solutions Umbrella Portfolios Advisory Portfolios Program -- Advisory Portfolios Custom -- Advisory Portfolios Core Citi Advisor Program (available only as part of participating in Advisory Portfolios Custom or Multi-Asset Class Solutions Discretionary Bespoke) CPB and WaW clients who enter into a Program Agreement with Citibank are eligible to participate in the following Programs: • • • • Manager Selection Program Consulting and Evaluation Services Program Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program -- Multi-Asset Class Solutions Discretionary Bespoke -- Multi-Asset Class Solutions Umbrella Portfolios Advisory Portfolios Program -- Advisory Portfolios Custom 13 CPB and WaW clients should understand that when CPB and WaW Private Bankers provide advice in connection with a Program, they do so in their capacity as representatives of CGMI. Accordingly, references in this brochure to “CGMI financial advisers” are intended to refer to CPB and WaW Private Bankers as well as other financial advisers who provide advice through or on behalf of CGMI. Program Eligibility – Clients of CPWM/CPII CPWM/CPII clients are eligible to participate in the following Programs: • • • Fiduciary Services Program Consulting and Evaluation Services Program Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program -- Multi-Asset Class Solutions Citi Active Allocation Citi Advisor Program Citi Portfolio Manager Program Dynamic Allocation Portfolios -- UMA Program Model Allocations Portfolios Program • • • • From time to time, CGMI enters into bespoke discretionary management arrangements with institutional clients in addition to the Programs described in this brochure. Fiduciary Services Program and Manager Selection Program In the Fiduciary Services Program (“FS”) and the Manager Selection Program (“MSP”), CGMI assists the client in selecting one or more investment managers to manage the client’s account on a discretionary basis according to a specified investment strategy. Certain investment managers are affiliated with CGMI. In the FS and MSP Programs, CGMI provides clients with substantially similar services. FS is offered exclusively to clients of CPWM/CPII, while MSP is offered exclusively to clients of CPB and WaW. In FS and MSP, clients generally invest in equity, balanced and multi-style portfolios, or fixed income portfolios, each of which is designed by the investment managers. Due to the difference in typical account size and size of the overall client relationship (see discussion of client segments above), CPWM/CPII clients pay higher fees to CGMI for FS than CPB and WaW clients pay CGMI for the MSP Program. Minimum account sizes for FS and MSP are detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients.” Different minimums apply with respect to certain investment managers and strategies. Strategies offered by affiliated investment managers are not available in MSP. See Fees section below. Services Provided In FS and MSP, CGMI works with the client to review and evaluate the client’s investment objectives and financial circumstances. CGMI then recommends one or more investment managers to manage the client’s assets on a discretionary basis in accordance with the client’s objectives. The client selects investment managers from among the recommended managers, and CGMI retains the investment managers on the client’s behalf. To the extent that multiple investment managers are selected by the client and retained by CGMI, each investment manager will be responsible for a separate account. The investment managers exercise discretion by either (i) implementing investment decisions directly or (ii) in certain circumstances that are reviewed by CGMI, retaining another investment adviser to implement the investment decisions. CGMI separately contracts with each investment manager as to the terms of its participation in these Programs. In FS and MSP, custodial services are provided by Clearing Firm or Citibank. Both CGMI and Clearing Firm provide trade execution and related services in FS and MSP. 14 Evaluation and Selection of Investment Managers CGMI will recommend one or more investment managers to serve as investment advisers of the client’s account(s) and will retain the investment managers on the client’s behalf, based on each client’s objectives and circumstances. The actual selection of an investment manager is entirely up to the client (unless CGMI no longer approves a manager for these Programs and the client does not give CGMI directions for a replacement manager). The available investment managers and strategies include those which are affiliated with CGMI. See Item 6. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers” for information about how the Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers (“C-RAM”) evaluates affiliated investment managers. Third-Party Strategies in the Fiduciary Services Program CGMI only recommends third-party investment managers that meet either the CitiFocus or CitiAccess research standard. See Item 6–“Research in Advisory Programs”. If CGMI determines that an investment manager previously recommended to, and chosen by, the client no longer meets the applicable research standard and is therefore no longer approved for these Programs, (i) a replacement manager will be selected by the client (or, if the client fails to select a replacement manager, by CGMI) from recommendations provided by CGMI, or (ii) the client’s Program Agreement will automatically terminate upon a date selected by CGMI and communicated to client with reasonable advance notice. If the client decides to continue to retain an investment manager that is no longer approved for the Programs, the client must arrange with that investment manager to promptly transfer the assets in the account to hold them directly with such investment manager. CGMI will (a) make no further representations concerning such investment manager, (b) not assume any liability for any loss, claim, damage or expense attributable to client’s decision and (c) cease evaluating or making any representations regarding such investment manager. Before a client’s assets are transferred from one investment manager to a replacement investment manager, CGMI will attempt to obtain the client’s oral or written consent but will not be required to obtain such consent prior to effecting the transfer. In FS and MSP, CGMI periodically monitors the performance of investment managers included to evaluate correlation to the manager’s published performance record (if applicable) and to assess any performance dispersion among client accounts. Note that, beginning this year, third party managers may invest client accounts in investment funds that provide exposure to digital assets, which poses unique risks. See Item 6. – “Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss – Digital Asset Investment Products Risks.” CGMI also maintains a “Watch” policy for investment managers in FS and MSP. CGMI’s Watch policy is more fully described in Item 6. – “Research in Advisory Programs.” A Watch status may, but is not certain to, result in a change of the investment manager’s recommended status. Citi Investment Management (“CIM”) Managed Strategies in the Fiduciary Services Program Strategies offered by CIM (as separately managed accounts) are available as part of FS. CIM managed strategies are offered and managed by Citibank, an affiliate of CGMI. Clients who are interested in CIM managed strategies as part of the FS Program must affirmatively elect to participate in such strategies. The C-RAM must approve the CIM managed strategies available as part of FS. The C-RAM’s approval of CIM managed strategies is based on due diligence conducted by a third-party consultant retained by CGMI’s affiliate. See Item 6. – “Committee for the Review and Approval 15 of Managers” for information about how the C-RAM approves CIM managed strategies. CGMI will review and evaluate CIM managed strategies periodically as part of client accounts review. Account Information CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients have the right to elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. Client accounts in CPWM/CPII periodically receive a “Performance Review,” which is a statistical review and analysis of the account. Clients of CPB and WaW will receive that report upon request. Clients also receive mutual fund prospectuses for the funds in which they invest. Fees Clients participating in FS and MSP pay an asset-based fee to CGMI. The fee includes fees or charges of CGMI and Clearing Firm, including brokerage commissions for trades executed at CGMI or Clearing Firm, compensation to the client’s CGMI financial adviser, and Clearing Firm’s custodial charges (“CGMI fee”). In addition to the CGMI fee, clients also pay a fee for services of the investment managers selected to manage the client’s assets. Neither the CGMI fee nor the fee for the selected investment manager include the following: (a) any fees or charges for other services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties that are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.); (b) any taxes or fees or their equivalent imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies; (c) brokerage commissions and other fees and charges imposed when an investment manager chooses to effect securities transactions with or through a broker-dealer other than CGMI or Clearing Firm; (d) fees and expenses charged by any investment funds in which the client invests; and (e) certain other fees and charges described herein (see “Item 4.C– Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds”). The standard annual CGMI fees applicable to FS and MSP are as follows: Fiduciary Services Program CPWM/CPII Fee Schedule The CGMI fee is computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. Note that these fees are negotiable. Account Asset Values CGMI Fee on Fixed Income Strategies CGMI Fee on Equity, Balanced and Multi-Style Strategies 2.00% 1.50% 1.25% 1.00% 1.00% 0.90% 0.75% 0.60% On the first $500,000.00 On the next $500,000.00 On the next $2,000,000.00 Over $3,000,000.00 Manager Selection Program CPB and WaW U.S. Fee Schedule The CGMI fee is computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI Fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. 16 Account Asset Values CGMI Fee on Fixed Income Strategies CGMI Fee on Equity and Balanced Strategies 1.00% 0.75% 0.60% 0.60% 0.50% 0.40% On first $3 million On next $3 million Over $6 million Manager Selection Program CPB and WaW Non-U.S. Fee Schedule The applicable standard fee rates in the table below will apply to the entire balance in the account, rather than applied as a blend of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. For example, if your account asset value is US$7 million, the fee rate shown on the “$6 million and above” row will be charged on the entire US$7 million. Account Asset Values CGMI Fee on Fixed Income Strategies CGMI Fee on Equity and Balanced Strategies 1.50% 1.40% 1.00% 0.90% 1.25% 0.80% Under $3 million $3 million to less than $6 million $6 million and above CGMI Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors, which result in particular clients paying a fee different than the standard fees. Fees for FS are normally payable quarterly in advance. Fees for MSP are normally payable monthly in arrears. Clients additionally pay a fee for services of the investment managers (other than CIM), which fee depends upon the asset class, the investment style and the total amount of assets allocated to the investment manager in FS or MSP (as applicable). The investment manager fees are asset-based annual fees ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% for fixed income only strategies, and from 0.18% to 0.60% for other strategies. Fees for specific strategies are made available to clients prior to investing in the Program. The investment manager fees set forth herein are not negotiable and are subject to change without notice. With respect to FS and MSP accounts that were previously invested in the Consulting and Evaluation Services, Legg Mason Private Portfolios, Western Institutional Portfolios, or Investment Management Services Programs, the investment advisory fees that applied to such Programs as of the time a client’s account was converted to FS or MSP will continue to apply (i.e., will be “grandfathered”). Some of such grandfathered fee schedules are different than the amount stated in the FS and MSP fee schedules above. Fees Charged for CIM Managed Strategies When clients select CIM managed strategies as part of FS, the single asset-based fee that clients pay CGMI covers any fees payable to CIM. As a result, CIM does not directly charge or receive from clients a separate investment manager fee for its services. Note that CIM effects transactions in fixed income securities exclusively through broker-dealers other than CGMI or Clearing Firm and additional trading and execution costs such as markups, markdowns or spreads are charged to the client; these costs are not covered by the fee payable to CGMI. See “Item 4.C.-Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” for more information about trading away. Conflicts of Interest 17 Clients should understand that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend CIM managed strategies over unaffiliated investment managers, which charge a separate, third-party portfolio manager fee, because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher CGMI management fee for themselves, and (ii) increase assets under management for an affiliate; this creates conflicts of interest. Specifically, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate CIM manager fee is not charged in the FS Program, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee due to the lower overall cost to the client when a client selects CIM than they could negotiate if the client had selected an unaffiliated investment manager that charges a separate management fee. Thus, CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend CIM managed strategies. In addition to these financial incentives, there are reputational, marketing and non- pecuniary benefits that accrue to both CGMI and CIM when CIM increases its assets under management. Note that CPB and WaW clients can retain CIM directly to manage assets in the CIM managed strategies outside of a Program at a lower cost than retaining CIM through the MSP Program. The fee schedules for CPB and WaW clients with accounts directly with CIM are lower than the fee schedules offered in the MSP Program. For CPWM/CPII clients, CIM managed strategies are only available as part of the FS Program. Clients who are interested in CIM managed strategies should consult with their CGMI financial adviser for more information about CIM managed strategies and applicable fees. In addition, the CGMI fee schedule in FS and MSP for equity, balanced and multi-style strategies is higher than the fee schedule for fixed income strategies. Clients should understand that the structure of the fee schedule in these Programs creates a financial incentive for CGMI financial advisers to recommend equity, balanced and multi-style strategies instead of fixed income in order to earn more fees. Further, unlike the negotiable CGMI fee, the third party manager fees in FS and MSP are not negotiable. As a result, when a client selects a third party managed strategy that costs less than other available comparable strategies, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher fee for themselves (with a lower overall cost to the client). The opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee creates an incentive to recommend a manager that charges a lower fee than other managers offering comparable strategies at a higher cost, as a higher CGMI fee benefits both the financial adviser as well as CGMI. Both CGMI and CGMI financial advisers benefit from these opportunities because each receives compensation tied to the amount of the client’s total annual CGMI fees. See “Item 6.B Portfolio Manager for Wrap Fee Programs” and “Item 4.D–Compensation” for more information about these conflicts of interest. Consulting and Evaluation Services Program In the Consulting and Evaluation Services Program (“CES”), CGMI assists the client in selecting one or more investment managers to manage the client’s account on a discretionary basis according to a specified investment strategy. In CES, the client typically enters into an investment advisory contract directly with the investment manager as well as with CGMI (“dual contract Program”). The minimum account size for CES is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients.” Different minimums apply with respect to certain investment managers. Services Provided In CES, CGMI analyzes a client’s investment objectives and, if requested, recommends one or more investment managers in light of those objectives. CGMI does not exercise discretion for CES clients as to the retention of an investment manager; instead, CGMI makes recommendations, which the client may or may not follow. Clearing Firm provides custody 18 services for client accounts (depending upon the election of the client), and both CGMI and Clearing Firm provide trade execution and related services. Evaluation and Recommendation of Investment Managers CGMI will recommend one or more investment managers to serve as investment advisers of the client’s account(s), based on the client’s objectives and circumstances. The actual selection of an investment manager is entirely up to the client. CGMI only recommends investment managers that meet the CitiFocus or CitiAccess research standard. See “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs.” In the event CGMI determines that an investment manager previously recommended to, and chosen by, the client no longer meets the applicable research standard and is therefore no longer approved for CES, CGMI will notify client. It will be client’s option to change or retain the investment manager. If the client decides to continue to retain an investment manager that is no longer approved for CES, CGMI will (a) make no further representations concerning such investment manager, (b) not assume any liability for any loss, claim, damage or expense attributable to client’s decision and (c) cease evaluating or making any representations regarding the investment manager. In CES, CGMI periodically monitors the performance of investment managers included to evaluate correlation to the manager’s published performance record (if applicable) and to assess any performance dispersion among client accounts. CGMI also maintains a “Watch” policy for investment managers in CES. CGMI’s Watch policy is more fully described in “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs.” A Watch status may, but is not certain to, result in a change of the investment manager’s recommended status. Account Information CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. Clients of CPWM/CPII periodically receive a “Performance Review,” which is a statistical review and analysis of the account. Clients of CPB and WaW will receive that report upon request. Clients also receive mutual fund prospectuses for the funds in which they invest. Fees Clients participating in CES pay CGMI an asset-based fee. The fee includes all fees or charges of CGMI and Clearing Firm, including brokerage commissions for transactions executed at CGMI or Clearing Firm, compensation to client’s financial adviser, and custodial charges. The fee does not include the following: (a) any fees or charges for services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties which are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.); (b) fees or charges of any of the investment managers selected to manage the client’s assets (other than CGMI); (c) any taxes or fees or their equivalent imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies; (d) charges, taxes, legal and other expenses associated with the Program and client accounts arising under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction; (e) brokerage commissions and other fees and charges imposed when an investment manager chooses to effect securities transactions with or through a broker-dealer other than CGMI or Clearing Firm; (f) fees and expenses charged by any investment funds in which the client invests; and (g) certain other fees and charges described herein (see “Item 4.C–Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds”). The standard annual fee applicable to CES is as follows: Consulting and Evaluation Services Program 19 The CGMI fee payable to CGMI is computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. Consulting and Evaluation Program CPB and WaW Fee Schedule Account Asset Values CGMI Fee on Equity and Balanced Accounts 2.20% CGMI Fee on Fixed Income Accounts 0.75% On the First $500,000.00 1.70% 0.55% On the Next $500,000.00 1.20% 0.40% On the Next $1,000,000.00 0.65% 0.25% On the Next $3,000,000.00 0.60% 0.20% On Assets Over $5,000,000.00 Consulting and Evaluation Program CPWM/CPII Fee Schedule Account Asset Values CGMI Fee on Equity and Balanced Accounts 2.00% CGMI Fee on Fixed Income Accounts 1.00% On the First $500,000.00 1.50% 0.90% On the Next $500,000.00 1.25% 0.75% On the Next $2,000,000.00 1.00% 0.60% On Assets Over $3,000,000.00 Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors, which results in particular clients paying a fee different than the standard fees. Fees for accounts larger than $10 million generally are arranged separately on the basis of services provided. Fees normally are payable quarterly in advance. As stated above, the fee does not include any fees or charges of any third-party investment manager (other than CGMI). The investment manager fees are also asset-based annual fees that generally range from 0.15% to 0.40% for fixed income only strategies, and from 0.20% to 1.00% for other strategies. In dual contract Program accounts, the fee for the investment manager is specified in the investment advisory contract with the investment manager. The fee is negotiated directly between the clients and investment managers. As an administrative convenience, the investment manager’s fees will be debited from the client’s account and paid by CGMI on the client’s behalf. CGMI will not verify the rate, computation, or timing of the investment manager’s fees or the value of the account. Clients should verify that the amounts debited for the purpose of paying the investment manager’s fees are correct by reviewing the client statements and should notify CGMI of any discrepancies immediately. Clients should understand that performance will be impacted by a deduction of incorrect fees or by delays in deduction of fees due to investment managers’ failure to submit invoices in a timely manner. Conflicts of Interest The CGMI fee schedule in CES for equity and balanced strategies is higher than the fee schedule for fixed income strategies. Clients should understand that the structure of the fee schedule in this Program creates a financial incentive for CGMI financial advisers to recommend equity and balanced strategies instead of fixed income in order to earn more fees. When a client selects a third party managed strategy that costs less than other available comparable strategies, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher fee 20 for the Firm, and thus themselves (with a lower overall cost to the client). The opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee creates an incentive for the financial adviser to recommend a third party manager that charges a lower fee than other managers offering comparable strategies at a higher cost, as a higher CGMI management fee benefits both the financial adviser as well as CGMI. See “Item 6.B Portfolio Manager for Wrap Fee Programs” and “Item 4.D–Compensation” for more information about these conflicts of interest. Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program The Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program (“MACS” or “MACS Program”) consists of asset allocation portfolios with multi-asset and single- or multi-manager capabilities designed to provide clients individualized options to help achieve their long-term wealth management objectives. Through MACS, CGMI provides clients with discretionary investment advisory solutions. Client portfolios in MACS consist of a mix of some or all of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), mutual funds, separately managed accounts, registered or unregistered alternative investment funds, and other permitted types of investments. MACS consists of three sub-Programs: (i) Multi-Asset Class Solutions Discretionary Bespoke (“Discretionary Bespoke”); (ii) Multi-Asset Class Solutions Umbrella Portfolios (“MACS UMA”); and (iii) Multi-Asset Class Solutions Citi Active Allocation Portfolios (“MACS Citi Active Allocation”). Clients of CPB and WaW are eligible to invest in Discretionary Bespoke and MACS UMA, while clients of CPWM/CPII are eligible to invest in MACS Citi Active Allocation. Eligibility for each sub-Program further depends on a client’s initial investment amount and other requirements. MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation are substantially similar Programs but have some differences described below. In Discretionary Bespoke clients invest through separate accounts that are consolidated for portfolio management and reporting purposes. In MACS UMA and Citi Active Allocation, by contrast, clients invest through unified managed accounts (i.e., “UMAs”), where assets are held in one account. Services Provided 1. Multi-Asset Class Solutions Discretionary Bespoke In Discretionary Bespoke, CGMI provides discretionary investment advisory services primarily to ultra-high net worth clients (including, but not limited to, multi-family offices, corporations, trusts, endowments, foundations and similar clients) by: (i) assisting in the development of investment policies and guidelines and asset allocation; (ii) performing investment manager and investment selection and evaluation; and (iii) providing performance measurement and portfolio analysis. For certain clients, CGMI also provides information and investment advisory services regarding alternative investment managers. In Discretionary Bespoke, CGMI as the discretionary advisor will retain investment managers and open separate accounts that are consolidated for portfolio management and reporting purposes. The Discretionary Bespoke services are tailored to the specific needs of each client and generally are provided for an asset-based fee. In addition to these investment advisory services, CGMI also offers custody services (either through Clearing Firm or Citibank) and execution services (either directly or through Clearing Firm) to Discretionary Bespoke clients. The minimum account size for new accounts in Discretionary Bespoke is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients,” and is subject to exceptions at CGMI’s discretion. The key elements of Discretionary Bespoke are as follows: 1. Assistance in the Preparation of Investment Objectives and Policies: Working with the client, CGMI will assist the client in reviewing its investment goals, policies and objectives as 21 well as its standards for performance review (to help ensure alignment with its investment goals, policies and objectives), and in preparing, monitoring and updating its investment policy statement. Asset Allocation: CGMI will provide initial and continuing asset allocation 2. recommendations in accordance with the investment policy statement of the client. 3. Investment Manager Investments and Products: CGMI will allocate and reallocate the client’s assets among investment managers and investment products that pursue strategies that are consistent with the investment policy statement. CGMI only allocates assets to investment managers and investment products that are approved by the C-RAM. The available investment managers and investment products include those which are affiliated with CGMI. See Item 6.A. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers” for information about how the C-RAM evaluates managers and funds. In the event CGMI determines that an investment manager previously chosen for the client’s account no longer meets the applicable research standard and is therefore no longer approved for MACS, CGMI will reallocate the client’s assets to a replacement investment manager. Mutual Funds, Exchanged Traded Funds and Index Funds Search: CGMI will invest and 4. reinvest the client’s assets in mutual fund, ETF and index fund investments in a manner consistent with the investment policy statement. CGMI only recommends funds that are approved by the C-RAM. See Item 6.A. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers” for information about how the C-RAM evaluates managers and funds. In the event CGMI determines that a fund previously chosen for the client’s account no longer meets the applicable research standard and is therefore no longer approved for MACS, CGMI will reallocate the client’s assets to a replacement fund, which could result in tax consequences to the client. Alternative Investment Manager Search: If requested by the client, CGMI will allocate 5. and reallocate the client’s assets among alternative investment managers that pursue strategies that are consistent with the investment policy statement. CGMI will work together with the Citi Investment Management (“CIM”) AI Alternative Solutions Team in identifying and selecting unaffiliated alternative investment managers as part of the implementation. For additional information related to affiliated alternative investment managers, see Item 6.A. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers.” 6. Performance Measurement: CGMI provides clients with system-generated performance reports and custom performance reports (as agreed to between CGMI and client). The reports may include comparisons to recognized benchmarks and appropriate market segments. Each client receiving services pursuant to Discretionary Bespoke will have an agreed benchmark and risk assignment from which a periodic assessment of their investment performance will be conducted. 7. Ongoing Review, Custody and Trade Execution: CGMI will execute rebalancing, conduct investment policy monitoring, and support third-party providers, as well as, where requested, provide custodial services (either directly, through Clearing Firm or Citibank) and execution services (either directly or through Clearing Firm). Transactions in fixed income securities, equities (if executed through broker-dealers other than CGMI or Clearing Firm) and certain other securities involve commissions, dealer mark-ups or mark-downs or other charges, and clients will be responsible for all such charges and expenses in addition to the asset-based fee paid to CGMI. In addition, to the extent investment managers direct trades in securities to CGMI for execution, CGMI will realize profits or losses in connection with such trades that are separate from or additional to the fees paid by Discretionary Bespoke clients, but CGMI will not charge such clients any mark-up or mark-down. To the extent that CGMI allocates the client’s assets to an affiliated investment manager, the investment manager will execute transactions through or with one or more broker-dealers other than CGMI or Clearing Firm, and the client 22 will be responsible for any associated commissions, dealer mark-ups or mark-downs or other charges, in addition to the asset-based fee. CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. 8. Daily Oversight and Control Structure: Using a systematic monitoring system, the Fiduciary Oversight Group (“FOG”) is responsible for the daily monitoring of the client portfolio relative to its investment policy statement. The investment manager will provide day-to-day oversight, in coordination with the independent monitoring capabilities of FOG. The investment manager will be responsible for addressing any alerts communicated by FOG and recommending changes in accordance with the client’s investment policy statement. 2. Multi-Asset Class Solutions Umbrella Portfolios and Multi-Asset Class Solutions Citi Active Allocation Portfolios Program MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation are “unified managed account” programs. MACS UMA is only offered to clients of CPB and WaW while MACS Citi Active Allocation is only offered to clients of CPWM/CPII. While the two programs are substantially similar, they have some differences as described below. CPWM/CPII clients pay higher fees to CGMI for MACS Citi Active Allocation than CPB and WaW clients pay CGMI for MACS UMA. See Fees section below. In MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation, the client selects from one or more of the portfolio objectives spanning the risk spectrum, based upon the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance and investment time horizon for the assets, or the portion of assets, in each account. A separate “unified managed account” is established for each portfolio objective (also referred to as a “portfolio” or “portfolio levels”) the client chooses. The portfolios consist of a mix of some or all of ETFs, mutual funds, separately managed accounts, registered or unregistered alternative investment funds, and others depending on client’s investment amount and investment needs. The suggested investment horizon for the portfolios set out below is four (4) to six (6) years. However, the investment horizon may change depending on market conditions, preferences, special limitations or variances in investment objectives or other factors. The portfolios available under MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation are: • • • • • • Portfolio Level 1 which seeks to generate income rather than achieve capital appreciation; Portfolio Level 2 which seeks to generate income and achieve modest appreciation of capital as a secondary objective; Portfolio Level 2.5 which seeks a balance of income and moderate capital appreciation; Portfolio Level 3 which seeks a balance of income and capital appreciation; Portfolio Level 3.5 which seeks capital appreciation with some emphasis on income; Portfolio Level 4 which seeks mostly capital appreciation with less emphasis on income; and Portfolio Level 5 which seeks maximum capital appreciation. • The asset allocations for the portfolios are comprised of some or all of the following: (i) cash and short term investments, including cash equivalents; (ii) fixed income investments, including short term municipal debt, municipal bonds, U.S. bonds and high yield/emerging market debt; (iii) equity investments, including, U.S. large capitalization, U.S. small capitalization, Europe, Japan, Asia Pacific (ex-Japan) and emerging markets; (iv) alternative investments, including private investment funds; and (v) opportunistic investments, including commodities, currencies and preferred securities, as well as investments in securities that 23 indirectly provide exposure to the foregoing. The asset allocation categories and classes utilized are subject to change. The asset allocations are developed based on long-term (ten (10) year time horizon) economic and market forecasts. In addition, with the exception of the “Sustainable Opportunities” and “Global Opportunities” options, the asset allocations are also developed based on short-term (three (3) to twelve (12) month time horizon) economic and market forecasts. CGMI reviews and, if necessary, adjusts the asset allocation for the portfolios at least quarterly, but allocations may be adjusted more frequently in unusual market or economic circumstances or following under performance or over performance of a particular portfolio or investment, subject to subscription and redemption rules applicable to investments. The asset allocation percentages currently in effect for a particular portfolio objective may be obtained from your CGMI financial adviser. The portfolios are invested in a mix of ETFs, mutual funds, separately managed accounts, registered and unregistered investment funds depending on whether a client is eligible for, and selects, “Standard,” “Tax Aware,” “Sustainable Opportunities,” “Global Opportunities,” “Active/Passive Blend,” “Core,” or “Custom” option. Not all options are available for all portfolio levels. The “Active/Passive Blend” option is not available under MACS Citi Active Allocation. The chart below summarizes the differences between these options as well as key differences in minimum account sizes for MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation.

In addition, availability of separately managed accounts may vary depending on risk profile or account size. 25 Portfolio Can Invest in Portfolio Option MACS Citi Active Allocation (CPWM/CPII) Minimum Account Size $1,000,000 Core* MACS UMA (CPB and WaW) Minimum Account Size $1,000,000 Separately managed accounts, mutual funds, ETFs, registered and unregistered alternative investment funds *Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) portfolio allocations only: separately managed accounts, mutual funds included on CGMI’s CitiFocus List and ETFs in accordance with Citi due diligence procedures. See Item 6.A. – “CitiFocus” for information about how CGMI classifies Program Investment Products as CitiFocus. $10 million $10 million Custom Separately managed accounts, mutual funds, ETFs, registered and unregistered alternative investment funds, For MACS UMA only: CIM separately managed accounts CGMI; Investment Manager and Fund Selection; Unified Managed Account Portfolio Implementation CGMI serves as the discretionary investment adviser of the assets in MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation and is responsible for selecting the investment managers and/or investment funds for each asset class in a portfolio. CGMI has established the C-RAM to select investment managers and investment funds for MACS and certain other Programs. Some of the investment managers and funds selected for MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation are affiliated with CGMI. See Item 6.A. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers” for information about how the C-RAM evaluates managers and funds. The assets in each asset class generally are invested on a discretionary basis with a single investment manager or in a single investment fund, as applicable, but multiple managers or funds can be used. Transactions in separately managed accounts will be executed either (i) by CGMI, generally through Clearing Firm (a “Citi Executed SMA”), or (ii) directly by the investment manager recommending such transactions (a “Portfolio Manager Executed SMA”). In the case of a Citi Executed SMA, CGMI invests the assets based on instructions communicated to CGMI by the investment manager and in accordance with portfolio implementation rules and instructions communicated to the investment managers by CGMI. See “Item 4.A.5–Implementation and Transaction Services” and “Item 4.A.5–Aggregation of Trade Orders and Trade Allocation” for more information on portfolio implementation and overlay services provided by the Overlay Manager. 26 CGMI or the manager, in the case of a Portfolio Manager Executed SMA, will be responsible for the creation and execution of orders for the purchase and sale of shares/units in investment funds on behalf of client accounts. Assets in the alternative investments asset allocation category generally are invested in either registered or unregistered investment funds (including hedge “fund of funds”). The process for selecting investment funds in the alternative investments category is more qualitative in nature than is the process for selecting investment managers and investment funds outside of the alternative investments category. Investment funds in the alternative investments category typically have incentive fee arrangements. Under such an arrangement, the manager of the investment fund and managers of underlying portfolios or funds receives compensation based on appreciation in the fund’s or underlying fund’s or portfolio’s assets. Such incentive fees are an incentive to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case absent an incentive fee. For eligible clients that select an investment option with an allocation to an unregistered alternative investment fund, the alternative investments asset allocation category will be invested in a private investment fund of funds vehicle that is advised by an affiliate of CGMI. However, in such cases, clients will not bear any additional management fee payable to the affiliated adviser. In the event that the client selects the “Custom Portfolio” investment option within the MACS UMA or MACS Citi Active Allocation, CGMI will consider the client’s individual investment objective, risk/return profile and investment guidelines when selecting investment managers and/or investment funds for each asset class in a portfolio. In the event that the client selects the “Tax Aware” investment option within the MACS UMA or MACS Citi Active Allocation, the portfolios seek to utilize tax management features, including tax-loss harvesting, and, as a result, the investment manager selected by CGMI will be responsible for portfolio implementation in relation to the entire account and the actual investment of all assets in the portfolios including determining the timing of an investment of an account or any account rebalancing, and tax lot management and processes relative to the portfolio investment objective and investment election chosen by the client, the target asset allocations provided by CGMI and any special instructions or restrictions imposed by the client. See Portfolio Manager Executed SMA description below and “Item 4.C. Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges for information” about when an investment manager executes transactions on behalf of client accounts. The “Tax Aware” investment option is not intended as tax advice and clients should confer with their personal tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of investing in this option, based on their particular circumstances. The tax consequences of any strategy that engages in tax- loss harvesting is complex, and clients and their personal tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions in their account are reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority. See “Item 6.C. Additional Information Related to Wrap Fee Programs – Tax-Loss Harvesting Risks” for a summary description of the risks associated with investment strategies that engage in tax-loss harvesting. CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. CIM Managed Strategies in the MACS Program Strategies offered by CIM (as separately managed accounts) are available as part of Discretionary Bespoke and the Custom Portfolio option of MACS UMA. CIM managed strategies are offered through Citibank, an affiliate of CGMI. Clients who are interested in CIM managed strategies as part of the MACS Program must affirmatively elect to participate in such strategies. For clients electing to participate in CIM managed strategies in Discretionary 27 Bespoke or the Custom Portfolio option (both programs where CGMI serves as the discretionary investment manager), CGMI will invest and reinvest client assets in CIM managed strategies in a manner generally consistent with the client investment policy statement or client’s investment guidelines. ERISA plans and retirement plans, including individual retirement accounts, are also eligible to participate in CIM managed strategies in the MACS Program. The C-RAM must approve the CIM managed strategies available as part of the MACS Program. The C-RAM’s approval of CIM managed strategies is based on due diligence conducted by a third-party consultant retained by CGMI’s affiliate. See Item 6.A. – “Forum for the Review and Approval of Managers” for information about how the C-RAM approves CIM managed strategies. CGMI will review and evaluate CIM managed strategies periodically as part of client accounts review, including their performance and compliance with clients’ investment policy statement or investment guidelines. When clients select CIM managed strategies as part of Discretionary Bespoke and the Custom Portfolio option of MACS UMA, the single asset-based fee that clients pay CGMI covers any fees payable to CIM. Fees Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors, which results in particular clients paying a fee different than the standard fees. Fees will also be either asset-based or fixed, depending on the particular client. To the extent that an asset-based fee is used, unless otherwise agreed between CGMI and the client, the CGMI fee will be computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program CPB and WaW U.S. Fee Schedule Assets Under Management CGMI Annual Fee On first $5 million CGMI fee will be a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each range of asset values. 1.00% On next $5 million 0.80% Over US $10 million 0.60% Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program CPB and WaW Non-U.S. Fee Schedule CGMI Annual Fee Assets Under Management The applicable standard fee rates below will apply to the entire balance in the account, rather than applied as a blend of the different rates applicable to each asset value range.

Additional Fees and Expenses The client will bear a proportionate share of the fees and expenses incurred by any mutual funds or alternative investments included in the portfolios. The prospectus or offering memorandum of each of these investments describes these internal fees and expenses in detail. For more information relating to fees please see “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds.” The fee paid to CGMI does not cover any fees or charges for other services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties which are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.). Additional Fees Charged by Investment Managers Any fees payable to the third-party investment managers that a MACS client selects are not included in the fee paid to CGMI, except as described below. Clients also pay the investment managers fees that vary depending on the strategy and program in which the client invests. The investment manager fees are asset-based annual fees ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% for fixed income only strategies, and from 0.18% to 0.50% for other strategies. Fees for specific strategies are provided to clients prior to investing in the Program. The investment manager fees set forth herein are subject to change without notice. Investment managers also may charge a performance fee in addition to the asset-based investment management fees described above. CGMI does not charge performance fees at the portfolio level for accounts with alternative investment funds, but performance fees may be charged by a private investment fund through which the client invests, and also may be charged by the underlying portfolio investments held by a private fund in which a client invests (e.g., a fund of funds). 29 Where alternative investment funds advised by an affiliate of CGMI are used in MACS, CGMI’s fees cover the management fees payable to the affiliated manager. However, outside the program, clients may directly enter into a separate contract with an affiliate of CGMI to invest in alternative investments, and in those circumstances CGMI’s fee does not include any fees or charges of such affiliated alternative investment manager’s services. If any investment manager effects securities transactions for the client portfolio with or through a broker-dealer other than CGMI or Clearing Firm, then clients are responsible for the execution costs separately. See “Item 4.C.-Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” for more information about trading away. Fees Charged for CIM Managed Strategies Trading and Execution Costs CIM Management Fee Discretionary Bespoke Included in CGMI’s fee CIM’s trading and execution costs are charged to client Included in CGMI’s fee CGMI and Clearing Firm’s trading and execution costs are included in CGMI’s fee Custom Portfolio -- MACS UMA Trading and execution costs for transactions effected through another broker-dealer are charged to client Conflicts of Interest Clients should understand that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend affiliated investment managers over unaffiliated investment managers because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher management fee for the Firm, and thus themselves, and (ii) increase assets under management for an affiliate; this creates conflicts of interest. Specifically, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate CIM manager fee is not charged in the MACS Program, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee due to the lower overall cost to the client than comparable strategies that charge a separate manager fee. The opportunity to negotiate a higher management fee benefits the financial adviser as well as CGMI, which retains part of the fee. Thus, CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend CIM managed strategies. In addition to these financial incentives, there are reputational, marketing and non-pecuniary benefits that accrue to both CGMI and CIM when CIM increases its assets under management. See “Item 6.B Portfolio Manager for Wrap Fee Programs” and “Item 4.D–Compensation” for more information about these conflicts of interest. CPB and WaW clients interested in CIM managed strategies in the MACS Program should also understand that they can retain CIM directly to manage assets in the CIM managed strategies outside of a Program at a lower cost than retaining CIM through the MACS Program. The fee schedules for CPB and WaW clients with accounts directly with CIM are different than the fee schedules offered in the MACS Program and can be lower. Clients who are interested in CIM managed strategies should consult with their CGMI financial adviser for more information about CIM managed strategies and applicable fees. 30 Advisory Portfolios Program The Advisory Portfolios Program (“Advisory Portfolios Program”) consists of asset allocation portfolios with multi-asset and single- or multi-manager capabilities designed to provide clients individualized options to help achieve their long-term wealth management objectives. Through the Advisory Portfolios Program, CGMI provides clients with non-discretionary investment advisory solutions. Advisory Portfolios Program is offered exclusively to CPB and WaW clients. Advisory Portfolios Program consists of two sub-Programs: (i) Advisory Portfolios Custom (“AP Custom”); and (ii) Advisory Portfolios Core (“AP Core”). Eligibility for each sub-Program further depends on a client’s initial investment amount and other requirements. In AP Custom, clients invest through separate accounts that are consolidated for portfolio management and reporting purposes. In AP Core, by contrast, clients invest through UMAs, where assets are held in one account. Services Provided 1. AP Custom In AP Custom, CGMI provides non-discretionary investment advisory services to ultra-high net worth clients (including, but not limited to, multi-family offices, corporations, trusts, endowments, foundations and similar clients) by: (i) assisting in the development of investment policies and guidelines; (ii) evaluating and recommending investment managers and products; and (iii) delivering performance measurements and portfolio analysis. For certain clients, CGMI may also provide information and advice regarding alternative investment managers. In AP Custom, clients enter into separate investment advisory contracts in order to retain investment managers and open separate accounts that are consolidated for portfolio management and reporting purposes. The services provided in AP Custom are tailored to the specific needs of each client and are generally provided for an asset-based fee. In addition to these non-discretionary investment advisory services, CGMI also offers custody (either through Clearing Firm or Citibank) and execution services (either directly or through Clearing Firm) to AP Custom clients. The minimum account size for new accounts in AP Custom is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients,” and is subject to exceptions at CGMI’s discretion. The key elements of AP Custom are as follows: Assistance in the Preparation of Investment Objectives and Policies If Requested by the 1. Client: Working with the client, CGMI will assist the client in reviewing its investment goals, policies and objectives as well as its standards for performance review (to help ensure alignment with its investment goals, policies and objectives), and in preparing, monitoring and updating its investment policy statement. Evaluation and Recommendation of Investment Managers and Products: CGMI will 2. assist the client in identifying and selecting appropriate investment managers and products, including mutual funds, ETFs, and separately managed accounts. Clients will enter into an investment advisory contract directly with the investment manager, which will set forth the terms and conditions (including, without limitation, any fees) relevant to the relationship. In most cases CGMI recommends investment managers and investment products that are approved by the C-RAM. The available investment managers and investment products include those which are affiliated with CGMI. See Item 6.A. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers” for information about how the C-RAM evaluates managers and funds. In the event CGMI determines that an investment manager or product previously recommended to, and chosen by, the client no longer meets the applicable research standard and is therefore no longer approved for AP, CGMI will notify client. It will be client’s option to 31 change the investment product or retain the investment manager. If the client decides to continue to retain an investment manager or remain invested in a product that is no longer approved for AP, CGMI will (a) make no further representations concerning such investment manager, (b) not assume any liability for any loss, claim, damage or expense attributable to client’s decision and (c) cease evaluating or making any representations regarding the investment manager. Clients must arrange to retain them directly and they will no longer be part of AP Custom. CGMI will also review the account asset allocation from time to time and recommend changes that are deemed appropriate. In the event that the account deviates from the asset allocation and CGMI believes that the account should be re-balanced, CGMI will recommend changes to effect the re-balancing. 3. Alternative Investment Manager Search: If requested by the client, CGMI will work together with the CIM AI Alternative Solutions Team to assist the client in identifying and selecting appropriate unaffiliated alternative investment managers. For additional information related to affiliated alternative investment managers, see Item 6. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers.” 4. Performance Measurement and Portfolio Analysis: CGMI provides clients with system- generated performance reports and custom performance reports (and as mutually agreed to between CGMI and a client). The reports may include comparisons to recognized benchmarks and appropriate market segments. Each client will have an agreed benchmark and risk assignment against which a periodic assessment of their investment performance will be conducted. 5. Ongoing Review, Custody and Trade Execution: CGMI will recommend portfolio rebalancing, conduct investment policy monitoring, support third-party providers, and, where requested, provide custodial and execution services. Transactions in fixed income securities, equities (if executed through broker-dealers other than CGMI or Clearing Firm) and certain other securities involve commissions, dealer mark-ups or mark-downs or other charges in addition to the asset-based fees. To the extent investment managers direct trades in such securities to CGMI for execution, CGMI may realize profits or losses in connection with such trades that are separate from or additional to the fees paid by AP Custom clients, but CGMI will not charge such clients any mark-up or mark-down. CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. Daily Oversight and Control Structure: Using a systematic monitoring system, FOG is 6. responsible for the daily monitoring of the client portfolio relative to its investment policy statement. The investment manager will provide oversight support along with CGMI’s investment counselor, in addition to the independent monitoring capabilities of FOG. The investment counselor will be responsible for addressing any alerts communicated by FOG and recommending changes to the client in accordance with the client’s investment policy statement. 2. Advisory Portfolios Core In AP Core, the client selects from available portfolio investment objectives spanning the risk spectrum, based upon the client’s investment objectives, risk tolerance and investment time horizon for the assets, or the portion of assets, in each account. A separate “unified managed account” is established for the portfolio investment objective (also referred to as a “portfolio”) the client chooses. The portfolios consist of a mix of some or all of ETFs, mutual funds, and separately managed accounts depending on client’s investment amount and investment needs. The suggested investment horizon for the portfolio investment objectives set out below is four 32 (4) to six (6) years. However, the investment horizon may change depending on market conditions, preferences, special limitations or variances in investment objectives or other factors. The portfolio investment objectives available under AP Core are: • • • • • Portfolio Level 1 which seeks to generate income rather than achieve capital appreciation; Portfolio Level 2 which seeks to generate income and achieve modest appreciation of capital as a secondary objective; Portfolio Level 2.5 which seeks a balance of income and moderate capital appreciation; Portfolio Level 3 which seeks a balance of income and moderate capital appreciation; Portfolio Level 4 which seeks mostly capital appreciation with less emphasis on income; and Portfolio Level 5 which seeks maximum capital appreciation. • The selection of a portfolio investment objective is the starting point for the design and implementation of a specific investment proposal. Through customization features allowed in this Program, the client may refine their investment objectives and risk tolerance so that the actual allocation of a client’s assets in a customized portfolio does not align directly with the selected portfolio investment objective. CGMI categorizes portfolio investment objectives into conservative, moderate, and aggressive risk categories and analyzes a client’s customized portfolio initially, and at the time of any future adjustments, to ensure that the customized portfolio does not deviate from the risk category of the portfolio investment objective selected by the client. That analysis and review, however, does not preclude a client from implementing a customized portfolio that deviates from the portfolio investment objective selected for the AP Core account. Client authorization to implement a customized portfolio that deviates from the portfolio investment objective selected for the account supersedes that selection. The client will establish the initial asset allocation for the portfolio and will advise CGMI of any change in the asset allocation for the portfolio desired. The client may customize the asset allocation according to your investment objectives and risk/return profile. The asset allocation percentages currently in effect for a particular portfolio investment objective may be obtained through your CGMI representative. Changes in the asset allocation will likely result in transactions in the account, and these transactions could have tax consequences for a taxable account. Following market movements, or the outperformance or underperformance of a portfolio or investment, such that a portfolio moves from its target allocation by an amount set by CGMI, CGMI will rebalance an Account to bring the asset allocations back into line with the target allocations. CGMI will monitor and rebalance in accordance with our internal monitoring policies and procedures, which we reserve the right to modify from time to time in our sole discretion. These transactions could have tax consequences for a taxable account. The investment minimum for AP Core is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients.”. CGMI; Investment Manager and Fund Selection; Unified Managed Account Portfolio Implementation CGMI serves as the non-discretionary investment adviser of the assets in AP Core. CGMI will assist the client in selecting the investment managers and/or investment funds for each asset class in a portfolio. CGMI has established various criteria that are used to screen affiliated and unaffiliated investment managers and investment funds. These criteria are subject to change from time to 33 time. CGMI may advise on an investment manager or investment fund for an asset class that invests in securities outside of such asset class so long as CGMI determines that such investment manager’s or investment fund’s primary focus is on securities within such asset class. Investment managers and mutual funds recommended or included as an investment product in AP Core must meet either the CitiFocus or CitiAccess research standard, and each ETF included as an investment product in AP Core must be screened according to CGMI due diligence procedures (see “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs”). CGMI undertakes periodic reviews of a broad range of factors to determine whether each investment manager and investment fund remains appropriate for clients given their objectives going forward. If CGMI determines such an action to be advisable and in the best interest of its clients, CGMI may terminate an investment manager’s or investment fund’s participation in AP Core and replace such manager or fund with another investment manager or investment fund. If it does so, CGMI will notify the client of its recommended replacement manager or investment fund and that it will reallocate the assets from the terminated manager or investment fund to the new manager or investment fund. The client is permitted to instruct CGMI to use a different manager or fund that is available for that asset class in the AP Core program. Client accounts are permitted to be invested in cash, cash equivalents or ETFs during the transition period to a new investment manager or investment fund. Transactions in separately managed accounts will be executed either (i) by CGMI and/or the Overlay Manager (a “Citi Executed SMA”) or (ii) directly by the investment manager recommending such transactions (a “Portfolio Manager Executed SMA”). In the case of a Citi Executed SMA, CGMI and/or the Overlay Manager invests the assets based on instructions communicated to CGMI by the investment manager and in accordance with portfolio implementation rules and instructions communicated to the investment managers by CGMI and/or the Overlay Manager. See “Item 4.A.5–Implementation and Transaction Services” and “Item 4.A.5–Aggregation of Trade Orders and Trade Allocation” for more information on portfolio implementation and overlay services provided by the Overlay Manager. CGMI will be responsible for the creation and execution of orders for the purchase and sale of shares/units in registered investment funds on behalf of client accounts. Account Information CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. CGMI (either directly or through Citibank or Clearing Firm) will also send the client a periodic report showing account positions and activity (including income received and rights conferred in respect of investments) and performance which will also be measured against a benchmark or benchmarks provided in the report. Clients may instruct CGMI to consolidate the report for more than one account with the same entitlement name. CIM Managed Strategies in the Advisory Portfolios Program Strategies offered by CIM (as separately managed accounts) are available as part of AP Custom and AP Core. CIM managed strategies are offered through Citibank, an affiliate of CGMI. Clients who are interested in CIM managed strategies as part of Advisory Portfolios Program must affirmatively elect to participate in such strategies. Clients who are interested in CIM managed strategies as part of AP Custom must enter into investment advisory contracts directly with CIM. ERISA plans and retirement plans, including individual retirement accounts, are also eligible to participate in CIM managed strategies in the Advisory Portfolios Program. The C-RAM must approve the CIM managed strategies available as part of the Advisory Portfolios Program. The C-RAM’s approval of CIM managed strategies is based on due diligence 34 conducted by a third-party consultant retained by CGMI’s affiliate. See Item 6. – “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers” for information about how the C-RAM approves CIM managed strategies. CGMI will review and evaluate CIM managed strategies periodically as part of client accounts review, including their performance and compliance with clients’ investment policy statement or investment guidelines. When clients select CIM managed strategies as part of the Advisory Portfolios Program, the single asset-based fee that clients pay CGMI covers any fees payable to CIM unless the client negotiates otherwise. Fees Clients participating in the Advisory Portfolios Program pay CGMI an asset-based fee. The fee includes fees or charges of CGMI, the Overlay Manager, and Clearing Firm, including brokerage commissions for transactions executed at CGMI or Clearing Firm, compensation to client’s CGMI adviser or an employee of an affiliate, custodial charges and fees of the investment manager(s). The fee does not include the following: (a) any fees or charges for other services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties which are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.); (b) any taxes or fees imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies; (c) charges, taxes, legal and other expenses associated with the Program and client accounts arising under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction; (d) fees and expenses charged by any investment manager or investment fund in which assets in the account are invested (including any separately managed account fees described below); (e) brokerage commissions, mark-ups, mark-downs, spreads and other fees and charges imposed when an investment manager chooses to effect securities transactions with or through a broker-dealer other than CGMI or Clearing Firm; and (f) certain other fees and charges described herein (see “Item 4.C–Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds”). While clients are not charged a performance fee in connection with the Advisory Portfolios Program, certain investment funds charge management and performance fees, and the portfolios or funds underlying the investment funds also may have their own management and performance fee arrangements. Thus, clients invested in any investment funds may be subject to the management and performance fees at the fund level and management and performance fees by the portfolios and funds underlying the investment funds. CGMI shares in the management and performance fees charged by certain investment fund managers. CGMI negotiates a fee with each portfolio manager and investment fund for the services rendered by such manager or fund that may be paid out of the investment management fees received by CGMI. The variation in the fee rates negotiated with each portfolio manager and investment fund creates a conflict of interest for CGMI in selecting managers and funds. The CGMI fee payable to CGMI is computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. Advisory Portfolios Program CPB and WaW U.S. Fee Schedule Assets Under Management CGMI Annual Fee CGMI fee will be a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each range of asset values. On first $5 million 1.00% On next $5 million 0.80% 35 Assets Under Management CGMI Annual Fee CGMI fee will be a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each range of asset values. Over US $10 million 0.60% Advisory Portfolios Program CPB and WaW Non-U.S. Fee Schedule CGMI Annual Fee Assets Under Management The applicable standard fee rates below will apply to the entire balance in the account, rather than applied as a blend of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. Under US $5 million 1.50% US $5 million to less than US $10 million 1.25% US $10 million and above 1.00% Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors, which results in particular clients paying a fee different than the standard fees. Fees are payable monthly in arrears. Fees generally are payable as follows: • AP Core: Fees are payable monthly in arrears. • AP Custom: Fees are charged monthly or quarterly, in arrears or in advance. Additional Fees and Expenses The client will bear a proportionate share of the fees and expenses incurred by any mutual funds or alternative investments included in the portfolios. The prospectus or offering memorandum of each of these investments describes these internal fees and expenses in detail. For more information relating to fees, please see “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds.” Additional Fees Charged by Investment Managers In addition to the CGMI fee, a client will also separately pay fees to investment managers in connection with any separately managed accounts in which the client invests (“SMA fees”). The SMA fees vary by asset class, are negotiated by CGMI, and are subject to change without notice. The SMA fees are asset-based annual fees ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% for fixed income only strategies, and from 0.25% to 0.50% for other strategies. Fees for specific strategies are provided to clients prior to investing in the Program. Investment managers may also charge a performance fee in addition to the asset-based investment management fees described above. For accounts with alternative investment funds, there is no portfolio level (i.e., CGMI account-level) performance fee, but performance fees may be charged by a private investment fund through which the client invests and may 36 also be charged by the underlying portfolio investments held by a private fund in which a client invests (e.g., a fund of funds). Where alternative investment funds advised by an affiliate of CGMI are used, CGMI’s fees include the management fees payable to the affiliated manager. However, where clients enter into a separate contract with an affiliate of CGMI to invest in alternative investments, CGMI’s fee does not include any fees or charges of such affiliated alternative investment manager’s services. If any investment manager effects securities transactions for the client portfolio with or through a broker-dealer other than CGMI or Clearing Firm, then clients are responsible for the execution costs separately. See “Item 4.C.-Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” for more information about trading away. Fees Charged for CIM Managed Strategies CIM Management Fee Trading and Execution Costs AP Custom CIM’s trading and execution costs are charged to client Included in CGMI’s fee unless the client negotiates otherwise AP Core Included in CGMI’s fee unless the client negotiates otherwise CGMI and Clearing Firm’s trading and execution costs are included in CGMI’s fee Trading and execution costs for transactions effected through another broker- dealer are charged to client Conflicts of Interest Clients should understand that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have financial incentives to recommend affiliated investment managers over unaffiliated investment managers because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher management fee for themselves, and (ii) increase assets under management for an affiliate; this creates conflicts of interest. For example, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate CIM manager fee is not charged in AP Custom, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee due to the lower overall cost to the client than comparable strategies that charge a separate manager fee. The opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee benefits the financial adviser as well as CGMI, which retains part of the management fee. Thus, CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend CIM managed strategies. In addition to these financial incentives, there are reputational, marketing and non-pecuniary benefits that accrue to both CGMI and CIM when CIM increases its assets under management. See “Item 6.B Portfolio Manager for Wrap Fee Programs” and “Item 4.D– Compensation” for more information about these conflicts of interest. Clients interested in CIM managed strategies as part of the Advisory Portfolios Program should understand that they can retain CIM directly to manage assets in the CIM managed strategies outside of a Program at a lower cost than retaining CIM through the Advisory Portfolios Program. The fee schedules for CPB and WaW clients with accounts directly with CIM are different than the fee schedules offered in the Advisory Portfolios Program and can be lower. 37 Clients who are interested in CIM managed strategies should consult with their CGMI adviser for more information about CIM managed strategies and applicable fees. Citi Advisor Program Services Provided The Citi Advisor Program (“Citi Advisor”) is designed to assist a client in devising and implementing a systematic investment strategy tailored to the client’s financial circumstances. Citi Advisor is offered to CPWM/CPII clients. Citi Advisor is also offered to CPB and WaW clients who enter into the AP Custom or Discretionary Bespoke programs. CPB and WaW clients who open Citi Advisor accounts through the AP Custom and Discretionary Bespoke programs will have different services and/or subject to different terms than those described below; the Citi Advisor account will be one of multiple accounts opened under the AP Custom and Discretionary Bespoke programs and, consequently, Citi Advisor services will be modified to accord with those programs. For example, a separate investment proposal just for the Citi Advisor account will not be prepared. For additional information on the AP Custom and Discretionary Bespoke programs, please see their description above under “Advisory Portfolios Program” and “Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program.” In Citi Advisor, CGMI assists the client in evaluating its investment objectives and risk tolerances and then advises the client as to investments in eligible assets (as described below). Citi Advisor is a non-discretionary Program in which investment decisions are made by the client. Neither CGMI nor any affiliated entity has any investment discretion over the client’s account. CGMI periodically provides the client with investment advice and will recommend and effect transactions in the account with the client’s prior consent. The minimum account size for Citi Advisor is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients.”. If assets in the account fall below the minimum account size, CGMI may, in its discretion, terminate the client’s Program Agreement and remove the account from Citi Advisor. To the extent a client determines to implement investments recommended by CGMI, the Clearing Firm will provide custody, trade execution and related services. Eligible Assets within Citi Advisor may include but are not limited to certain equity securities, fixed income securities, options on certain equity securities (where approved), mutual funds, ETFs, Unit Investment Trusts (UITs), cash and cash equivalents and Certificate of Deposits (only in non-retirement accounts). Eligible assets can change from time-to-time and as specified by CGMI. CGMI may restrict certain securities in Citi Advisor which may affect the client’s ability to maintain certain assets within the program. Please consult with your CGMI financial adviser for more information on eligible and restricted securities. In addition, without notice to the client, CGMI may convert any mutual fund in an account to another share class of the same fund, generally of lower cost and typically of an advisory approved share class. In determining whether an investment manager and its corresponding investment strategies should be available to clients, CGMI reviews and considers a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the length of the track record; short and long-term performance of the funds offered; size of assets under management; and level of interest and demand among clients and CGMI financial advisers. Of the funds available to Citi Advisor clients, not all of the funds are covered under the CitiFocus or CitiAccess standards as described in “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs.” Account Information Once an account is active, the client receives quarterly statements, confirmation of all transactions, and quarterly performance reports. In addition, CGMI performs a periodic review with the client, typically every 12 months, designed to assist the client in ascertaining whether the client’s objectives are being met. 38 Fees Clients participating in Citi Advisor pay an asset-based fee to CGMI. The fee includes fees or charges of CGMI and Clearing Firm, including brokerage commissions for transactions in the account that are executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm, compensation to the client’s CGMI financial adviser, and Clearing Firm’s custodial charges. The fee does not include the following: (a) any fees or charges for other services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties which are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.); (b) any taxes or fees or their equivalent imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies; (c) charges, taxes, legal and other expenses associated with the Program and client accounts arising under the laws of any relevant jurisdiction; (d) fees and expenses charged by any investment funds in which the client invests; (e) certain other fees and charges described herein (see “Item 4.C–Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds”). The standard annual fee applicable to Citi Advisor is as follows: Citi Advisor Program Fee Schedule The CGMI fee is computed using the different rates applicable to ranges of account asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each range of account asset values. Fees are calculated based only on the value of the Eligible Assets held in the account. CGMI Annual Fee 2.00% 1.50% 1.25% 1.00% Account Asset Values On the First $500,000.00 On the Next $500,000.00 On the Next $2,000,000.00 On Assets Over $3,000,000.00 Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors, which results in particular clients paying a fee different than the standard fees. Fees are normally payable quarterly in advance. Conflicts of Interest Clients should understand that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have financial incentives to recommend Citi Advisor over Programs that charge a CGMI manager fee and a separate, third- party portfolio manager fee because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher management fee for themselves, and (ii) increase assets under management; this creates conflicts of interest. Specifically, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate third-party manager fee is not charged in Citi Advisor, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management due to the lower overall cost to the client than comparable Programs that charge a CGMI and third-party portfolio manager fee. Both CGMI and CGMI financial advisers benefit from these opportunities because each receives compensation based on the amount of client’s total annual CGMI fees. See “Item 6.B Portfolio Manager for Wrap Fee Programs” and “Item 4.D–Compensation” for more information about these conflicts of interest. Additional Citi Advisor Considerations Citi Advisor is not appropriate for clients who choose to execute transactions infrequently. By participating in Citi Advisor, such clients incur higher costs than they would have incurred had they opened brokerage accounts and paid brokerage commissions. CGMI will only execute transactions as instructed by the client or as permissible under the Program Agreement. Therefore, clients should assess their anticipated level of transaction activity and determine whether the Citi Advisor Program is appropriate for them in view of the overall advisory services provided and fees incurred. 39 Citi Advisor may not be appropriate for clients who want to trade independently without seeking investment advice or guidance from CGMI or routinely decline to follow CGMI investment recommendations. Investment advice and guidance provided by CGMI are key services in the Program. Excessive unsolicited trading in CGMI’s determination (for example, relative to solicited trades or not following investment recommendations) is normally indicative that Citi Advisor is no longer appropriate for a particular client and could mean that the client is not leveraging the investment advice and guidance of CGMI and could result in the termination of such client’s account from Citi Advisor. Citi Advisor is not appropriate for clients who want to maintain high levels of cash or highly concentrated positions of securities that will not be sold regardless of market conditions. Clients who continue to hold high levels of cash or highly concentrated positions of securities should understand that the value of the cash and the securities will be included when calculating the annual account fee. This will result in the clients paying a higher fee to CGMI than they would have if they held the excess cash or securities in a brokerage account that charge fees based on transactions instead of charging asset-based fees. Citi Portfolio Manager Program The Citi Portfolio Manager Program (“PMP”) offers discretionary, individualized management services to clients. The minimum account size for PMP is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients.”. Services Provided PMP is administered and overseen by CGMI’s advisory personnel with certain oversight from CGMI. PMP accounts are managed by selected CGMI advisers who meet certain qualifications for investment analysis and portfolio management (referred to as a “PMP portfolio manager”). Each PMP portfolio manager assists his or her client in determining investment objectives, and then manages the client’s account on a discretionary basis in a manner consistent with those objectives. To become approved as a PMP portfolio manager, CGMI financial advisers must have internal sponsorship and meet certain criteria used by CGMI in its evaluation of potential candidates. Such criteria typically involve a review of various factors including nature and length of experience in the securities industry; licensing and compliance history; and prior annual independent production amounts. CGMI generally requires a prescribed minimum number of accounts and amount of PMP assets under management (“AUM”) for PMP portfolio managers to remain in PMP, and it reserves the right to remove them from PMP if the number of accounts or AUM falls below these thresholds. This requirement creates an incentive for the PMP portfolio managers to recommend PMP (over other Programs) so that they are able to meet the minimum number of accounts and AUM thresholds. In managing client accounts, the PMP portfolio manager is subject to certain guidelines relating to security diversification and approval of securities (including mutual funds and ETFs) that may be purchased for PMP accounts. Limited types of options transactions (including covered options writing and protective put buying) also may be conducted. From time to time, a PMP portfolio manager may terminate his or her employment with CGMI or be unable temporarily or permanently to render investment services to his or her PMP accounts. In that event, CGMI will, in its sole discretion, either assign a new PMP portfolio manager to an affected account (on a temporary or permanent basis) or notify the client that a new PMP portfolio manager will not be assigned and terminate the Program Agreement associated with the account. Because the departure or incapacity of a PMP portfolio manager can occur without advance warning, clients should understand they could be faced with an 40 immediate need to find alternative arrangements for managing assets held in terminated accounts. Account Information CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides confirmations of all transactions and account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about trading allocations in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. Once an account is active, the client receives a report of the account’s performance periodically. Clients also receive mutual fund and ETF prospectuses for the funds in which they invest. In addition, CGMI performs a periodic review with the client, including of the account’s performance, typically every 12 months, designed to assist the client in ascertaining whether the client’s objectives are being met. In PMP, a client may request in writing that certain specified securities not be purchased for his or her account. Also, a client generally may specify that certain categories of securities not be purchased. In this event, CGMI will determine in its sole discretion whether a security will be treated as within the restricted category. In making this determination, CGMI may rely on outside sources, such as standard industry codes and categories provided by Clearing Firm. CGMI will reject any restriction it believes it cannot effectively implement or monitor. Trade Allocations If a PMP portfolio manager believes that the purchase or sale of a security is in the best interests of more than one client, he/she may, but is not obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased to obtain favorable execution to the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations. In such event, the transactions will be allocated by the PMP portfolio manager according to a policy designed to ensure that such allocation is equitable and consistent with the PMP portfolio manager’s fiduciary duty to its clients. These methods include, among others, pro rata allocation and random allocation. The allocation method used in a particular transaction may vary, depending upon various factors, including the type of investment, the number of shares purchased or sold, the size of the account, and the amount of available cash or the size of an existing position in an account. Pursuant to these methods, aggregated orders are averaged as to price. There may be circumstances in which a PMP portfolio manager or a CGMI-affiliated investment manager does not aggregate trades and thereby does not obtain a lower mark-up or mark-down that may have been available. Fees Clients participating in PMP pay CGMI an asset-based fee. The fee includes fees or charges of CGMI and Clearing Firm, including brokerage commissions for trades executed at CGMI or Clearing Firm, compensation to the client’s CGMI financial adviser, Clearing Firm’s custodial charges and fees of the investment manager that the client selects. The fee does not include the following: (a) fees or charges for other services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties that are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.); (b) any taxes or fees or their equivalent imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies; (c) fees and expenses charged by the mutual funds and ETFs in which the client invests; and (d) certain other fees and charges described herein. For more information relating to fees, see “Item 4.A.5.C–Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds.” The standard annual fees for the program are as follows: Citi Portfolio Manager Program Fee Schedule 41 The CGMI fee is computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. CGMI Annual Fee Account Asset Values 2.00% 1.50% 1.25% 1.00% On the First $500,000.00 On the Next $500,000.00 On the Next $2,000,000.00 On Assets Over $3,000,000.00 Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the type and size of the account and the range of services provided by the PMP portfolio manager. Fees are normally payable quarterly in advance. Because PMP does not involve investment managers unaffiliated with CGMI, CGMI retains the entire fee. Conflicts of Interest Clients should understand that CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend PMP over Programs that charge a CGMI manager fee and separate, third-party portfolio manager fee because CGMI financial advisers can (i) negotiate a higher management fee for the Firm, and thus themselves, and (ii) increase assets under management; this creates conflicts of interest. Specifically, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate third-party manager fee is not charged in PMP, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee due to the lower overall cost to the client than comparable Programs that charge a CGMI and third-party portfolio manager fee. Both CGMI and the CGMI financial advisers benefit from these opportunities because each receives compensation based on the amount of the client’s total annual CGMI fees. See “Item 6.B Portfolio Manager for Wrap Fee Programs” and “Item 4.D–Compensation” for more information about these conflicts of interest. Model Allocations Portfolios Program In the Model Allocations Portfolios Program (“MAP”), clients select a third-party investment manager to make investment recommendations in accordance with defined asset allocation models that are designed by the investment manager and updated from time to time. Clearing Firm provides custody services for client accounts and also provides trade execution and related services to implement the investments recommended by the asset allocation models. The asset allocation models consist of portfolios of mutual funds and/or ETFs. Such funds pursue equity, balanced and multi-style strategies, or fixed income strategies, among other strategies. Note that beginning this year, third-party investment managers may also include exposure to digital asset investment products within the asset allocation models. The minimum account size for MAP is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients,” but may be reduced for certain clients at CGMI’s discretion. Services Provided In MAP, the client’s financial adviser assists the client in the review and evaluation of investment objectives. The client then selects an investment manager and an asset allocation model designed by the investment manager. Each model offered through MAP represents a different asset allocation that is tailored to a different investment objective/risk tolerance. The investment managers are responsible for setting the asset allocation strategy of the models they design, selecting the underlying investment holdings of the models, and recommending adjustments to the models and their underlying investments from time to time. The asset classes and underlying investments prescribed by a model are therefore subject to change. 42 The client enters into Program Agreement with CGMI under which the client authorizes CGMI to direct the purchase and sale of securities for the client’s account in accordance with the asset allocation model that the client selects. The investment manager delivers the model to CGMI, and CGMI delivers the model to Clearing Firm. Upon receipt of the model, Clearing Firm executes transactions for the client’s account in the recommended securities, subject to any reasonable investment restrictions that the client imposes. Should the investment manager recommend a mutual fund for which CGMI has no distribution agreement, CGMI will request that the investment manager find a substitute fund and if no substitute fund is immediately recommended by the investment manager, CGMI will hold the allocation to the unavailable fund in cash or cash equivalents until a fund for which CGMI has a distribution agreement is recommended. CGMI separately contracts with the investment managers concerning the terms of their participation in MAP. The investment managers do not serve as investment advisers to the clients who participate in MAP. Instead, each investment manager serves as an investment adviser to CGMI, and CGMI serves as an investment adviser to the clients. Evaluation and Selection of Investment Strategies CGMI will recommend an investment manager and an asset allocation model for the client’s account, based on the client’s individual objectives and circumstances, but the actual selection of the investment manager and model are entirely up to the client, subject to the exception described below. The asset allocation models offered in MAP are based on investment strategies designed by the investment managers. Each investment strategy offered in MAP must meet the CitiAccess research standard (see “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs”). In the event that CGMI determines that an investment strategy on which a client’s asset allocation model is based is no longer approved for MAP (i) a replacement investment strategy and a corresponding model will be selected by the client (or, if the client fails to make a selection, by CGMI) from recommendations provided by CGMI or (ii) the client’s Program Agreement will automatically terminate upon a date selected by CGMI and communicated to the client with reasonable advance notice. In the event the client wishes to continue to have its account managed in accordance with a model that is designed based on an investment strategy that is no longer approved for MAP, CGMI will (a) make no further representations concerning the investment strategy and corresponding model, (b) not assume any liability for any loss, claim, damage or expense attributable to the client’s decision and (c) cease evaluating and making any representations regarding the investment strategy and corresponding model. Before a new investment strategy is selected for the client’s account and the client’s assets are transferred from one model to another, CGMI will attempt to obtain the client’s oral or written consent but will not be required to obtain such consent prior to effecting the transfer. CGMI maintains a “Watch” policy for investment strategies that have been approved for MAP. CGMI’s Watch policy is more fully described in “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs.” A Watch status may, but is not certain to, result in a change of the investment strategy’s recommended status. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the amount in a client’s account that is invested according to an asset allocation model falls below the specified minimum for such model (due to re-balancing, market activity or any other reason) or (ii) the client’s investment manager elects to terminate its investment advisory relationship with CGMI, CGMI may (without further consent from client) transfer the client’s assets to another appropriate model and/or investment for which the client’s account qualifies. Services of Clearing Firm Clearing Firm executes transactions for the client’s account in accordance with the model designed by the investment manager, subject to any reasonable investment restrictions that 43 the client has imposed. Clearing Firm also performs clearance and settlement services on behalf of the client’s account. Some or all transactions effected by Clearing Firm for the client’s account may be aggregated with transactions for other clients of an investment manager, CGMI, Clearing Firm or one of their respective affiliates and may be subsequently allocated to the client’s account at an average price. Clearing Firm also may from time to time and at its discretion act as principal (to the extent permitted by law) with respect to aggregated orders that result in allocations to the client’s account at an average price. The client’s confirmations will identify when a transaction was effected at an average price, the average price at which it was effected, and if so, whether Clearing Firm acted as principal or agent for the transaction. When a transaction for the client’s account is aggregated with transactions effected for other accounts, the price at which the aggregated transaction is effected may be less favorable for the client’s account than would be the case if the relevant security or other financial product was transacted for the client’s account individually. Clearing Firm maintains policies and procedures designed to ensure that aggregated transactions are effected on a fair and equitable basis. Account Information CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed for the account and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. Clients also periodically receive a “Performance Review,” which is a statistical review and analysis of the account. Clients also receive mutual fund prospectuses for the funds in which they invest, unless they delegate their rights to receive prospectuses to CGMI. In addition, CGMI performs a periodic review with the client, typically every 12 months, designed to assist the client in ascertaining whether the client’s objectives are being met. Fees Clients participating in MAP pay CGMI an asset-based fee. The fee includes fees or charges of CGMI and Clearing Firm, including brokerage commissions for trades executed at CGMI or Clearing Firm, compensation to the client’s CGMI financial adviser, Clearing Firm’s custodial charges and fees of the investment manager that the client selects. The fee does not include the following: (a) any fees or charges for other services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties that are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.); (b) any taxes or fees or their equivalent imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies; (c) fees and expenses charged by the mutual funds and ETFs in which the client invests; and (d) certain other fees and charges described herein. For more information relating to fees, see “Item 4.C–Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds.” The standard annual fees are as follows: Model Allocations Portfolios Program Fee Schedule The CGMI fee is computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. CGMI Annual Fee Account Asset Values 2.00% On the First $500,000 1.50% On the Next $500,000 1.25% On the Next $2,000,000 44 1.00% On Assets Over $3,000,000 Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors, which results in particular clients paying a fee different than the standard fees. Fees are generally payable quarterly in advance. CGMI pays a portion of the asset-based fees it receives from clients to Clearing Firm. Currently, CGMI does not pay any fees to the investment managers. The investment manager fees are subject to change without notice. CGMI has an incentive to negotiate for lower investment manager fees and to recommend investment managers that are paid comparatively less than other managers, because the lower the investment manager fees, the greater the portion of the client’s fee that CGMI retains for itself. One of the factors used to determine CGMI financial advisers’ compensation is the size of the client’s total annual fee. See “Item 4.D–Compensation” regarding the conflicts of interest presented by CGMI adviser compensation and how CGMI addresses those conflicts. Dynamic Allocation Portfolios – UMA Program The Dynamic Allocation Portfolios – UMA Program (“DAP”) is a “unified managed account” Program. In DAP, CGMI assists clients in establishing and/or reviewing investment objectives and selecting a portfolio. DAP is offered exclusively to CPWM and CPII clients. The portfolio is generally implemented by the Overlay Manager and is comprised of some or all of the following: (i) mutual funds; (ii) ETFs; (iii) separately managed accounts; and/or (iv) others depending on client’s investment needs. See “Item 4.A.5–Implementation and Transaction Services” and “Item 4.A.5–Aggregation of Trade Orders and Trade Allocation” for more information on portfolio implementation and overlay services provided by the Overlay Manager. The minimum account size for DAP is detailed in Item 5 – ”Account Requirements and Types of Clients.”. Services Provided In DAP, CGMI assists the client in the establishment and/or review of the client’s investment objectives and financial circumstances. CGMI and the client then select a portfolio based on the client’s investment objectives. A portfolio is a multi-style investment approach that allocates assets to specific investment strategies. To construct the portfolio, CGMI and the client will select an asset allocation investment model (a “Model”). The Model will be either (i) a Model selected by the client from among investment models pre-defined by CGMI (referred to herein as a “pre-defined” Model) or (ii) a Model defined by client (referred to herein as a “custom” Model, where the Model will be comprised of one or more asset classes). With respect to portfolio construction, CGMI will offer one or more of each of the following investment products for each asset class included in a Model: mutual funds, ETFs, separately managed accounts, and/or others depending on the client’s investment needs. Clearing Firm provides custody services with respect to client accounts, and both CGMI and Clearing Firm provide execution and related services. Pre-Defined Model Each of the available pre-defined Models represents a different asset allocation appropriate for a different investment objective/risk tolerance. All asset allocations established for a Model are developed by first starting with a traditional baseline based on the relevant investment objective/risk tolerance. Then, strategic asset allocation concepts are applied by looking ahead ten (10) years to determine how each asset class should be weighted in the Model to reflect its long-term economic and market forecast. Finally, tactical asset allocation concepts are applied by looking ahead three (3) to twelve (12) months to determine how to shift asset allocation 45 weightings to reflect short-term economic and market forecasts. The asset allocations established reflect many variables. CGMI reviews the asset allocation for the portfolios monthly and makes portfolio adjustments, as needed, though changes may be made more frequently in unusual market or economic circumstances or following under performance or over performance of a particular portfolio or investment. Changes in the asset allocation will likely result in transactions in a client portfolio, and these transactions could have tax consequences for a client account. The client and CGMI will construct the portfolio by selecting one or more investments for each asset class comprising the Model. CPWM/CPII clients alternatively may elect to have CGMI construct the portfolio (such election being referred to as “Adviser Discretion” and the CGMI adviser, in such capacity, referred to as the “Discretionary Adviser”). In the case where a client elects Adviser Discretion, the client grants CGMI, acting primarily through the Discretionary Adviser, discretion to select investments comprising the portfolio. Custom Model In the event that the client selects a “custom” Model, the client will establish an initial asset allocation for the Model and will advise CGMI (verbally or in writing) of any changes to the asset allocation that the client deems appropriate. CGMI will not pre-define the Model and CGMI will not set or adjust the asset allocation for the Model. CPWM clients may also elect Adviser Discretion, in which case, the Discretionary Adviser will define the Model by setting and adjusting the asset allocation from time to time as the Discretionary Adviser deems appropriate. In either case, changes in the asset allocation will likely result in transactions in a client portfolio, and these transactions could have tax consequences for a client account. The client and CGMI or the Discretionary Adviser (in cases where the client has elected Adviser Discretion) will construct the portfolio by selecting one or more investments for each asset class comprising the Model. Investment Manager CGMI generally will invest and re-invest the assets in each client portfolio, except that in certain strategies, investment managers may be granted responsibility by CGMI to implement investment decisions directly by placing orders for the execution of transactions (such investment managers are referred to herein as “executing” investment managers). In the Program Agreement, the client authorizes each investment manager to act as its investment adviser and to exercise discretion to select securities for the account by either (i) implementing its investment decisions directly (in the case of executing investment managers) or (ii) delivering a model portfolio to CGMI for implementation and overlay services (in the case of all other investment managers). CGMI contracts with each of the investment managers that are responsible for providing a model portfolio to CGMI or for implementing investment decisions directly with respect to a designated asset classes. CGMI will seek to invest the client’s portfolio in a manner consistent with the Model and investment products selected by the client and CGMI and the model portfolio provided by any applicable investment manager, as qualified by any reasonable client restrictions. Periodically, the CGMI will re-balance the client’s account in accordance with its re-balancing protocol. The re-balancing of the account by CGMI could have tax consequences for a client account. See “Item 4.A.5–Implementation and Transaction Services” and “Item 4.A.5–Aggregation of Trade Orders and Trade Allocation” for more information on portfolio implementation and overlay services provided by CGMI. 46 Investment Product Selection Investment managers and mutual funds recommended or included as an investment product in DAP must meet either the CitiFocus or CitiAccess research standard, and each ETF included as an investment product in DAP must be screened according to CGMI due diligence procedures (see “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs”). Unless the client has selected Adviser Discretion, if CGMI determines that an investment manager or investment product previously recommended for the client no longer meets the applicable research standard and is therefore no longer approved for DAP, either (i) a replacement manager or product will be selected by the client or (if the client fails to select a replacement manager or product) by CGMI from recommendations provided by CGMI, or (ii) the client’s Program Agreement will automatically terminate upon a date selected by CGMI and communicated to the client with reasonable advance notice. Before a client’s assets are transferred from one investment manager to a replacement investment manager, CGMI will attempt to obtain the client’s oral or written consent but will not be required to obtain such consent prior to affecting the transfer. With respect to clients who have selected Adviser Discretion, the Discretionary Adviser will exercise discretion in selecting a replacement manager or product. If (i) the amount in an investment product or Model in a client’s portfolio falls below the minimum for that investment product or Model (due to re-balancing, market activity or any other reason) or (ii) an investment manager elects to terminate its investment advisory relationship with client, CGMI may (without further consent from client) transfer client’s assets to another appropriate investment product or Model, which investment product or Model has a minimum investment for which the portfolio qualifies. CGMI undertakes periodic reviews of a broad range of factors to determine whether each mutual fund, ETF and investment manager remains appropriate for clients given their selected Model. Factors considered include investment performance, staffing, operational and compliance issues and financial condition. Account Information CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm and provides account statements at least quarterly. Clients may elect to receive information about transactions in their periodic statements in lieu of receiving individual confirmations following each transaction. Once an account is active, the client receives a report of the account’s performance on a quarterly basis. Clients also receive mutual fund and ETF prospectuses for the funds in which they invest. In addition, CGMI performs a periodic review with the client, typically every 12 months, designed to assist the client in ascertaining whether the client’s objectives are being met. Fees Clients participating in DAP pay an asset-based fee to CGMI. The fee includes fees or charges of CGMI and Clearing Firm, including brokerage commissions for trades executed at CGMI and/or Clearing Firm, compensation to the client’s CGMI financial adviser and Clearing Firm’s custodial charges. The fee does not include the following: (a) any fees or charges for other services provided by CGMI, an affiliate (if applicable), Clearing Firm or third parties which are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.); (b) fees or charges of any of the investment managers selected to manage the client’s assets; (c) any taxes or fees or their equivalent imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies; (d) brokerage commissions, mark-ups, mark-downs, spreads and other fees and charges imposed when CGMI or an investment manager chooses to effect securities transactions with or through a broker-dealer other than CGMI or Clearing Firm; (e) fees and 47 expenses charged by any investment funds in which the client invests; and (f) certain other fees and charges described herein. See “Item 4.C–Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Compensation from Funds.” The standard annual fee applicable to DAP is as follows: Dynamic Allocation Portfolios – UMA Program Fee Schedule The CGMI fee payable is computed using different rates applicable to ranges of asset values, as shown on the fee schedule below. The effective CGMI fee is a “blend” of the different rates applicable to each asset value range. CGMI Annual Fee 2.00% 1.50% 1.25% 1.00% Account Asset Values On the First $500,000 On the Next $500,000 On the Next $2,000,000 On Assets Over $3,000,000 Fees are negotiable based on a number of factors, which results in particular clients paying a fee different than the standard fees. Fees generally are payable quarterly in advance. As indicated above, the investment manager fees (for separately managed accounts) are separate from the client fee charged by CGMI. The investment manager fees are asset-based annual fees ranging from 0.10% to 0.35% for fixed income only strategies, and from 0.25% to 0.50% for other strategies. Fees for specific strategies are provided to clients prior to investing in the Program. The investment manager fees set forth herein are subject to change without notice. Conflicts of Interest When a client selects a third party managed strategy that costs less than other available comparable strategies, CGMI financial advisers have the opportunity to negotiate a higher fee for the Firm, and thus themselves (with a lower overall cost to the client). The opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI management fee creates an incentive for the financial adviser to recommend a third party manager that charges a lower fee than other managers offering comparable strategies at a higher cost, as a higher CGMI management fee benefits both the financial adviser as well as CGMI. A.5. All Programs CGMI Restricted in its Ability to Trade or Provide Certain Advice To comply with applicable regulatory requirements, there are time periods during which CGMI is not permitted to initiate or recommend certain types of transactions in the securities of issuers for which CGMI is performing investment banking services. In particular, when CGMI is engaged in an underwriting syndication or other distribution of corporate or municipal securities, CGMI could be prohibited from purchasing or recommending the purchase of certain securities of an issuer for its clients. Notwithstanding the circumstances described above, a client, on its own initiative, may in some circumstances direct CGMI to place orders for specific securities in the client’s account. From time to time, restrictions are imposed by CGMI to address the potential for self-dealing by CGMI and conflicts of interest that arise in connection with CGMI’s broker-dealer and investment banking businesses. CGMI has adopted various procedures to guard against insider trading that include an “Information Barrier” procedure, pursuant to which information known within one area of CGMI (e.g., investment banking) is not permitted to be distributed to other areas (e.g., investment advisory), and the use of a restricted list and various other monitoring lists. These investment banking or other activities will from time to time compel CGMI or its affiliates to forgo investing in (or liquidating) the securities of companies with which these 48 relationships exist. This may adversely impact the investment performance of a client’s account. Citigroup securities or obligations will not be directly held in an account. Citigroup securities or obligations could, however, be included in the investment funds purchased for an account. None of CGMI and its affiliates, Clearing Firm or investment managers are obligated to effect any transaction for a client’s account which they believe would be violative of any applicable state or federal law, rule or regulation, or of the rules or regulations of any regulatory or self- regulatory body, or any of their applicable policies or procedures. CGMI Giving Conflicting Advice or Trading Differently for Itself than on behalf of Client’s Accounts; Advice or Action Taken Differing Among Clients CGMI or an affiliate could recommend securities in which CGMI or such affiliate directly or indirectly has a financial interest; CGMI or an affiliate can also buy and sell securities that are recommended to clients for purchase and sale. Thus, a client can hold securities in which CGMI or an affiliate, makes a market or in which CGMI or an affiliate, or officers or employees of CGMI or such affiliate also have investments. Moreover, CGMI and its affiliates advise or take action for themselves differently than for CGMI clients. In performing its duties to certain Program clients, CGMI also provides advice and take action that differs from advice given, or the timing and nature of action taken, for other clients’ accounts. When CGMI financial advisers purchase or sell certain securities for their own accounts on the same day that transactions in such securities are effected for client accounts, the price paid or realized by the CGMI financial advisers generally is not more advantageous than the price at which the client transactions are effected. For more information on CGMI’s personal trading policy, see “Item 9.B.1 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading.” Implementation and Transaction Services With respect to the Programs where CGMI is responsible for trade execution on behalf of client accounts, CGMI generally will execute securities transactions through Clearing Firm, subject to CGMI’s obligation to seek best execution. While it is possible that clients may be able to obtain better prices for transactions if such trades were executed with broker-dealers other than Clearing Firm, CGMI has adopted an oversight process to monitor Clearing Firm’s execution quality, among other factors, to ensure CGMI’s handling of client transactions is consistent with its best execution obligation. The wrap fee includes brokerage commissions when trades are executed through CGMI or Clearing Firm. In CGMI’s sole discretion, at any time and for any reason, CGMI may engage an alternative broker-dealer to execute transactions for Client’s account. If there is a disruption in the services provided by Clearing Firm for any reason, CGMI or an affiliate may execute transactions for the account during the period of the disruption. This may impact account performance. CGMI provides some or all of the following portfolio implementation services in these wrap Programs. These services are commonly referred to as overlay services or acting in an overlay manager capacity: • implementing investment instructions furnished to CGMI by investment managers concerning the securities to be purchased or sold for client accounts; • placing orders for and arranging for the purchase or sale of securities with Clearing Firm; rebalancing client accounts among two or more investment styles; • • coordinating the disposition of a client account’s non-investment model holdings to facilitate the investment of proceeds into the model holdings of the investment managers; 49 • implementing reasonable restrictions imposed by a client on the management of the client’s account; and • managing client accounts consistent with asset allocation and asset class selections made by clients. In engaging a third party model manager to participate in its MACS UMA, MACS Citi Active Allocation, MAP, DAP and AP Core Programs, CGMI will seek assurances that the model manager will communicate model changes to CGMI in accordance with procedures that are designed to be fair and equitable to Program clients in relation to other clients of the model manager. Such procedures could include a rotation process or the simultaneous transmission of model change information to multiple venues, or a combination of both. In the case of simultaneous transmission, where multiple managers will end up competing in the marketplace to place orders to implement model change information, this competition has the potential to negatively impact all clients invested in the model, though competition concerns are mitigated where the securities involved have significant trading volume and high liquidity. Program clients could be negatively impacted by such timing differences. Where a rotation process is used by the model manager, model changes can be communicated to CGMI with respect to a Program account trade after the model manager has sent the model changes to other venues. If orders for the model changes have been filled at other venues prior to CGMI’s implementation and the market price has increased, the Program account will not receive as favorable price and the rotation process will negatively impact the performance of the Program account. Ultimately, it is the investment manager’s responsibility to ensure that the clients are treated fairly and equitably in the transmission of model change information. Aggregation of Trade Orders and Trade Allocation CGMI generally will seek to aggregate trades that are driven by a change in the investment model of an underlying investment manager and that need to be affected on behalf of multiple client accounts. Aggregated transactions effected each day are averaged as to price. An aggregated transaction will typically be allocated by CGMI among participating accounts on a pro rata basis but may be allocated among accounts according to one or more other methods designed to ensure that the allocation is fair and equitable to all clients. In particular, when a transaction order is partially filled and the total amount filled does not allow for a pro rata allocation of securities to all accounts or does not allow for a meaningful allocation of securities to all accounts, CGMI allocates the partially filled order on a random basis as determined by the CGMI’s trading system. This method generally will be used by CGMI only after consulting with and seeking direction or agreement from the portfolio management team at the applicable investment manager. Where an aggregated order covers clients in multiple Programs, the securities generally are allocated to the Programs participating in the order on a pro rata basis. The securities are then allocated to clients within each Program following one of the accepted trade allocation methods. CGMI does not consider account performance or fee structure in making investment opportunity allocation decisions. Managed accounts in which CGMI personnel have an interest are aggregated with orders for other accounts and are treated in the same manner in accordance with these procedures.. Wash Sales CGMI will seek to prevent certain wash sale violations. If a security is sold at a loss, the security will not be re-acquired for a separate account “sleeve” of the client account within thirty (30) days after the date of sale. If the sold security is, or after the sale becomes, a model security, such security will be purchased for the client account only after such thirty (30) day period expires. During the tax loss selling periods, CGMI will seek to invest the sale proceeds in an ETF representing a broad portion of the applicable security market (which is predominantly or wholly U.S.). In the event that an ETF cannot be purchased without violating wash sale rules, the sale proceeds will remain in cash. Thirty-one (31) days after the sale, 50 CGMI will sell any such ETF and invest the proceeds in the model security originally sold at a loss. Trading Practices of Third Party Investment Managers With respect to the Programs in which a third party investment manager executes transactions on behalf of client accounts, the investment manager is obligated to seek the best net results (price, research, and execution) for transactions undertaken for each client. In seeking best execution for equity securities and other instruments traded in the “agency” markets (typically those executed through an exchange, to which orders are directed by a broker-dealer acting as agent for a client), the investment manager may direct orders to CGMI or Clearing Firm. The client will not pay CGMI or Clearing Firm any commissions in connection with these transactions. Alternatively, the investment manager in its discretion may direct agency trades to other broker-dealers that are unaffiliated with CGMI or Clearing Firm, in which case the unaffiliated broker-dealers will “step-out” the trades to CGMI or Clearing Firm (as applicable) for clearance and settlement. This practice is sometimes referred to as “trading away.” In these instances, the client will bear the cost of any commissions, mark-ups, or mark-downs charged by the executing broker-dealer, and these trading related costs are in addition to the client’s Program fee. Such trading related costs will be included in the net price of the security and will adversely impact investment performance. They are not reflected as a separate charge on client confirmations or account statements. Although certain investment managers in the Programs described above execute a substantial percentage of transactions for clients with CGMI or Clearing Firm, such investment managers are permitted to trade away. Past practices are not necessarily indicative of current or future practices and it is possible that these investment managers will trade away more frequently and at higher cost in the future. Other investment managers direct a high percentage, if not all, of their trades to outside broker-dealers. The extent to which an investment manager trades away from CGMI or Pershing increases the client’s total cost of investing in a Program. Investment managers that elect to trade away will be more costly to clients than those investment managers that trade exclusively or primarily with CGMI or Pershing. Due to these additional trading related costs being reflected in the net price of the transaction, clients are encouraged to review the historical performance of investment managers that trade away to assess the impact of these additional costs. When CPWM/CPII clients select a CIM managed equity strategy in the FS Program, CIM executes trades on behalf of the CPWM/CPII clients through Clearing Firm and, as a result, brokerage commissions are included in the clients’ CGMI fee. CIM has implemented a trade rotation process for the CIM managed equity strategies that are available to CPWM/CPII clients in the FS Program and CPB and WaW clients outside of a Program, which means CIM effects trades for one group of clients before the other group, and vice versa, on an alternating basis. Depending upon market conditions and the potential market impact of the first set of trades, one group of clients may receive more favorable prices than the other. This trade rotation process is designed to ensure that clients are treated fairly over time. CGMI has collected information about the trade away practices of the investment managers that participate in the Programs. This information is available at https://www.privatebank.citibank.com/adv.htm. Clients should review this information and carefully consider any additional trading costs that may be incurred as part of the client decision in selecting or continuing to retain an investment manager. Information about trade away practices is based solely upon information provided to CGMI by the investment managers. Such information has not been independently verified by CGMI and CGMI does not make any representations as to its accuracy. Investment managers also have arrangements with one or more broker-dealers that are not affiliated with the investment manager, CGMI or Clearing Firm (the “Step-Out Broker”), pursuant to which (i) the investment manager may direct a block of trades (which block may 51 include trades for Program accounts and Other Accounts) to the Step-Out Broker, (ii) the Step- Out Broker will execute these blocks of trades at no commission, and (iii) the Step-Out Broker will “step-out” the trades for Program accounts to CGMI or Clearing Firm for clearance and settlement. Similarly, the investment manager may direct a block of trades (which block may include trades for Program accounts and Other Accounts) to CGMI or Clearing Firm for execution, in which event CGMI or Clearing Firm may execute these blocks of trades at no commission and “step-out” the Other Account trades to other broker-dealers for clearance and settlement. Even where Step-Out Brokers, CGMI and Clearing Firm execute these trades at no commission, they obtain a benefit from executing the block trades, as a result of the increased trading volume attributable to these blocks. An investment manager that places block trades at or about the same time the investment manager (or any subadviser responsible for the underlying investment decision) places block or other trades for the same securities on behalf of mutual funds, institutional separate accounts or other investment management clients of such investment manager or subadviser, could result in a market impact for the securities traded. The investment manager will engage in these “step-out” transactions, but only where the investment manager has determined that doing so is consistent with its obligation to seek best execution for clients. Certain securities, such as over-the-counter (including NASDAQ-traded) stocks and fixed income securities, are primarily traded in “dealer” markets. In such markets, securities are directly purchased from or sold to a financial institution acting as a dealer or “principal.” Principal trades are executed on a “net” basis, with the net price paid or received by the client reflecting any trading profit retained or loss incurred by the dealer executing the transaction as well as any mark-up or mark-down over or under the reported execution price. Principal trades are not placed through CGMI. Mutual Fund Share Classes Certain mutual funds offer only one class of shares, while other mutual funds offer multiple share classes that are available for investment based upon certain eligibility and/or purchase requirements. Mutual funds often permit the conversion or exchange of shares from one class to another, subject to certain conditions as determined by the applicable fund. If a client contributes or holds mutual fund shares that are deemed ineligible for the Program in which the client participates, such shares will be exchanged, if feasible, into a class of shares of the same mutual fund for which the Program is eligible, including Institutional (“I”), Financial Intermediary (“FI”), or advisory program share classes. CGMI also evaluates the mutual funds available to clients on an annual basis and requests information from the fund managers to identify whether ETF products that offer the same investment portfolio to clients are available. Upon termination of a client’s Program Agreement or the transfer of mutual fund shares out of the account into a CGMI retail brokerage account, CGMI may convert any I shares, FI shares, advisory, and/or other shares of any mutual fund to the corresponding mutual fund’s non- advisory share classes, which generally have higher operating expenses than the corresponding FI, I, and advisory share classes, which would negatively impact investment performance. Risks Related to Investments in Different Classes of Securities Clients with different investment objectives will, at one time, be invested in different parts of the capital structure of the same issuer. For instance, a client whose objective is income will invest in a company’s bonds while a client whose objective is capital appreciation will invest in the same company’s equity. Bondholders and shareholders represent two categories of a company’s capital structure with potentially opposing interests. Shareholders with unlimited upside on their equity investment in a company may want the company to undertake higher risks that can potentially benefit the equity owners, while the bondholders who are creditors of the company may want the company to minimize risks enough to pay the debt owed to the bondholders. As creditors of the company, bondholders receive priority over shareholders 52 concerning the company’s assets in the event of a liquidation. Bondholders who hold debt securities may seek a liquidation of an issuer, while shareholders who hold equity securities may prefer a reorganization of the company. At times, CGMI will advise accounts that hold different parts of the capital structure of the same issuer. CGMI’s actions with respect to one advisory account holding one class of securities will differ from its actions with respect to another account holding a different class of securities. As a consequence, CGMI’s investment advice and investment decisions for one client will differ from or conflict with the interests of clients holding different classes of securities. Some advisory accounts can be negatively affected by these decisions while other advisory accounts can be positively affected. The negative effects are generally more pronounced in connection with transactions in, or advisory accounts utilizing, small capitalization, emerging market, distressed or less liquid strategies. CGMI does not render legal advice to clients in connection with the bankruptcy or reorganization of an issuer. Special Considerations Regarding Investments in Alternatives Alternative investments offered through the Programs can be highly illiquid, are speculative and are not suitable for all investors. Investing in alternative investments is intended only for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high economic risks of the investment. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing. Risks include but are not limited to, loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative practices; lack of liquidity where there is no secondary market for the alternative investment and none expected to develop; volatility of returns; restrictions on transferring interests in the alternative investment; potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority when a single adviser is used; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; complex tax structures and delays in tax reporting; less regulation and higher fees than traditional investment funds; and adviser risk. Each alternative investment offering materials contain confidential material information relevant to making a decision to subscribe to the investment including, but not limited to the investment strategy’s liquidity terms, fees and expenses, risks and conflicts of interest, as well as other important matters relating to the investment, its investment adviser, and their operations. Clients should read these documents carefully in determining whether an alternative investment is suitable in light of, among other things, the client’s financial circumstances, need for liquidity, tax situation and other investments. Reasonable Investment Restrictions A client may request in writing that a particular security or category of securities not be purchased or sold for an account. If CGMI determines that the client’s requested restrictions are reasonable, CGMI will use its best efforts to honor such restrictions. CGMI will reject any restriction it believes cannot be effectively implemented or monitored. Clients should understand that restrictions can have an adverse effect on the account’s investment performance, asset diversification, and the achievement of investment goals and objectives, compared with an account that is fully invested in the securities recommended for the account. In the event a category of securities is restricted, CGMI, Clearing Firm, the Overlay Manager or the investment manager responsible for implementing transactions for the account, as applicable, will have sole discretion to determine the specific securities in the restricted category. In making this determination, such parties may rely on outside sources, such as standard industry codes and categories provided by Clearing Firm. Compliance with any restrictions will be as of the date of recommendation of the restricted investment only, based on the characteristics of such investment on that date, as determined by the relevant party in its discretion. Restrictions will not be applied retroactively or deemed to be violated due to 53 changes in the characteristics of an investment following the purchase or recommendation of an investment. Restrictions imposed on the management of the account will not apply to or affect the internal management or underlying investments held by a mutual fund or ETF purchased for the account. Consequently, clients who participate in a Program that invests primarily in mutual funds and ETFs will have limited ability to impose restrictions on the management of their account. If an investment restriction is deemed reasonable, the party with responsibility for implementing investments for the account will allocate the assets that would have been invested in the security(ies) impacted by the investment restriction: (1) pro- rata across other investments recommended for the account; (2) to one or more substitute securities, which might include ETFs; or (3) to cash or cash equivalents. B. Relative Costs of CGMI Costs of CGMI Asset-Based Fee Programs and Services Relative to Obtaining Services Separately; Relative Costs of CGMI Asset-Based Fee Program Alternatives Although the primary purpose of the Programs is to provide clients with investment advice and guidance, the Programs combine both brokerage and investment advisory services, and the single asset-based fee that clients pay for the Programs generally covers CGMI’s brokerage and investment advisory services, along with clearing and custody services and certain other services described above. Services that are not covered by the single asset-based fee are described below. Clients should understand that they may be able to obtain some or all of the services described in this brochure from CGMI or an affiliate without participating in a Program. In that case, a client’s total cost would be lower than the fees charged in connection with the Programs. For example, CIM managed strategies are available to CPB and WaW clients through the Multi- Asset Class Solutions and Advisory Portfolio Programs described in this brochure. CPB and WaW clients can retain CIM directly and negotiate fees with CIM to manage assets outside of a Program at a lower cost than retaining CIM through the Programs. However, for CPWM/CPII clients, CIM managed strategies are only available as part of the FS Program. Furthermore, because the CGMI manager fee is negotiable and a separate CIM manager fee is not charged in these Programs, CGMI has the opportunity to negotiate a higher CGMI Fee than it could for strategies managed by a third party where there is a separate manager fee charged. Thus, CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to recommend CIM strategies. In addition to these financial incentives, there are reputational, marketing and non-pecuniary benefits that accrue to both CGMI and CIM when CIM increases its assets under management. Clients also may be able to obtain the same or similar services or types of investments through other advisory programs or brokerage (including self-directed) platforms offered by CGMI and/or its affiliates. Such other investment advisory programs or brokerage (including self- directed) platforms are also offered at a different (and possibly lower) overall cost than the Programs. In particular, clients participating in MACS UMA, MACS Citi Active Allocation, or MAP should understand that the services provided through those Programs are similar to the services provided through provided through CGMI’s Citi Wealth Builder Program (“CWB”) and Citi Wealth Builder Plus Program (“CWB Plus”, and together with CWB, the “CWB Programs”). CWB is an automated “robo”-advisory program in which client assets are invested, on a discretionary basis, according to allocation models that are recommended based on answers to an online questionnaire designed to elicit information about a client’s investment risk profile, investment objectives and anticipated investment time horizon. In addition to the robo- advisory services provided in CWB, clients enrolled in CWB Plus also have access to a dedicated group of CGMI representatives (known as Program Advisors) available to offer 54 advice and guidance as part of CWB Plus and a financial planning service to develop a limited purpose, goal-specific financial plan. Unlike in MACS UMA, MACS Citi Active Allocation, and MAP, clients participating in CWB interact with CGMI exclusively through a web-based application and are not able to consult with a CGMI financial adviser in relation to their use of the application or their selection of investment models. For clients participating in CWB Plus, Program Advisors are part of a dedicated pool of CGMI representatives for CWB Plus but are not individually assigned to clients. The fees applicable to the CWB Programs are substantially lower than the fees applicable to MACS UMA, MACS Citi Active Allocation, and MAP. Clients who do not desire to interact face-to-face with a dedicated CGMI financial adviser, but seek services that are similar to those provided through MACS UMA, MACS Citi Active Allocation, or MAP should consider investing through the CWB Programs. For more information about the CWB Programs, please review the CWB Programs brochure, available at https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/brochure/7059, or speak to your financial adviser. In comparing the Programs with other programs or account types, and their relative costs, a client should consider various factors, including, but not limited to: • the client’s preference for an investment advisory or brokerage relationship, a discretionary or a non-discretionary relationship, a fee-based or commission-based relationship, and access to a dedicated financial advisor; • the types of investment vehicles and solutions that are available in the Program; • whether the investment solution offered in the Program is available through another CGMI investment advisory program or by another financial services firm at a lower or higher cost; • how much trading activity the client expects to take place in its account; • whether a preferred investment product is available from CGMI and in what type of account; • whether clients that prefer to maintain high cash balances or significant fixed income • • weightings can receive similar services at a lower cost outside of the Programs; the frequency and type of client profiling reports, performance reporting and account reviews that are available in the Program; and the scope of ancillary services that may be available to the client through a brokerage account, but which are not available through the Program. Please discuss with your CGMI financial adviser any questions about the differences between investment advisory accounts and brokerage service accounts, including the extent of our obligations to disclose conflicts of interest and to act in your best interest, and your rights and our obligations to you. Each client should discuss the Program services with his or her CGMI financial adviser to determine whether a Program is appropriate. Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges C. In addition to the asset-based fees payable in connection with the Programs, clients pay additional fees or charges in connection with their accounts or certain securities transactions. These include (but are not limited to): interest on any debit balances; auction fees; certain odd-lot differentials; exchange fees; transfer taxes; electronic fund fees; charges imposed by custodians other than CGMI or Clearing Firm; certain fees in connection with custodial, trustee and other services rendered by a CGMI affiliate; termination fees with respect to individual retirement and plan accounts; SEC fees on securities trades; other charges mandated by law; and certain fees in connection with the establishment, administration or termination of retirement or profit sharing plans or trust accounts. In addition, if CGMI is a member of the underwriting syndicate from which a security is purchased, CGMI will benefit from such 55 purchase. Furthermore, there may be additional fees when trading in foreign securities and ADRs. CGMI (either directly or through its affiliates) will from time to time negotiate with clearing firms, investment managers, or other service providers to achieve cost savings or other improved terms for services covered by a client’s asset-based fee or other fees and charges. Any cost savings or other advantages are not passed along to clients;. only CGMI and/or one of its affiliates will benefit. Fees may be negotiable based upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the type and size of the account, the historical and/or expected size or number of trades for the account, the number and range of supplemental advisory and client-related services to be provided to the account, and the type of client groups or organizations. Moreover, fee minimums and account minimums vary as a result of the application of prior schedules depending upon the client account inception date. Minimum account sizes also may be waived under certain circumstances. From time to time, the fees for certain of the advisory services described herein are reduced for employees of CGMI or its affiliates. For more information regarding the above, contact your CGMI financial adviser. Clearing Firm does not charge CGMI for wire transfer services. However, CGMI charges clients of CPWM/CPII $25 per wire transfer. Clearing Firm charges CGMI $25 for outgoing account transfer services, and CGMI marks up that amount by $70 and charges clients $95. CGMI’s portion of these fees is intended to compensate CGMI for its part in providing the services and frequently constitutes a majority (or all) of CGMI’s charge to the client for the service. Revenue from these services is not shared with registered representatives. The standard fee schedule for account services is posted at https://www.citi.com/investorinfo/. CGMI reserves the right to reduce or waive such fees in its sole discretion. Certain investment managers manage separately managed accounts that invest in the same underlying investments in which one or more mutual fund or ETFs invest. Because the underlying expenses and fees of a separately managed account generally are lower and the performance of a separately managed account may be higher than the comparable mutual fund, it may be to the client’s benefit to select the separately managed account as the investment product so long as the client meets the applicable investment minimum. Additional assets received into an account during any billing period will be charged a pro-rata fee based on the number of days remaining in the billing period. Fees are calculated based on the value of an account on a particular billing date. No adjustments will be made to the fee for appreciation or depreciation in the market value of securities held in the account, or for partial withdrawals by client, during any billing period for which such fee is charged. In the event the Program Agreement is terminated by either party prior to the end of a billing period, a pro-rata refund of the fee will be made. Generally, interest will be charged to a client’s account if the account has a debit balance as a result of the client’s activity. The “net equity” value of assets, calculated as total assets less debit balance, will be used for the purpose of calculating the advisory or consulting fee due to CGMI. When Clearing Firm has custody of the client’s assets, it credits interest and dividends to the account. All client billing for fee-based Programs will be based on the statement value including the accrued interest portion of fixed income securities. Linking of Accounts for Fee Billing Purposes A client may request in writing that two or more of the client’s eligible Program accounts be linked together for fee billing purposes (“Managed Account Fee Billing Group”). Linking eligible accounts into a Managed Account Fee Billing Group allows the client to combine the value of eligible account assets to achieve lower fee breakpoints under the fee schedule applicable to each individual account. Whether any client will benefit from a Managed Account Fee Billing 56 Group depends on the amount of combined assets included in the Managed Account Fee Billing Group and the breakpoints in the relevant fee schedule. As a result, clients that create a Managed Account Fee Billing Group may not receive any pricing or other benefits. There is no guarantee that linking eligible accounts into a Managed Account Fee Billing Group will result in any client receiving a lower fee or other benefits. CGMI will only link eligible Program accounts to a Managed Account Fee Billing Group upon client request. Requests to link accounts can be made in the client’s Program Agreement at account opening or at a later date by contacting a CGMI financial adviser. CGMI will not automatically link any accounts to a Managed Account Fee Billing Group. It can take up to two billing cycles for a Managed Account Fee Billing Group to take effect. Eligibility: Only accounts where the client is an authorized signer can be linked for Managed Account Fee Billing Group benefits. In addition, in most cases all Program accounts included in a Managed Account Fee Billing Group must be held at Clearing Firm. Traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”) and Roth IRAs are generally permitted to be linked subject to CGMI’s eligibility criteria. Certain other account types, for example, accounts held by employee benefit plans subject to ERISA, SEP IRAs or SIMPLE IRAs, are not eligible. Clients with previously established Managed Account Fee Billing Groups will continue to apply (i.e., will be grandfathered). However, maintenance requests relating to new or grandfathered Managed Account Fee Billing Groups are subject to the eligibility criteria stated above. Clients should contact their CGMI financial adviser to review whether their accounts are eligible to be linked for Managed Account Fee Billing Group benefits. Compensation D. A CGMI financial adviser’s compensation varies depending on the particular line of business with which he or she is associated. CPWM/CPII Financial Advisers CPWM/CPII financial advisers receive monthly salary plus variable compensation credits. Credits are based largely upon brokerage and investment advisory revenue Other components are also considered, including, but not limited to, credits related to securities-based lending including non-purpose loans and margin loans. CPWM/CPII Financial Advisers are also eligible to receive a quarterly discretionary bonus, which is based on an evaluation of the financial advisor’s performance over the quarter. Components considered in determining the discretionary bonus, include, but are not limited to, net new investment assets and cross-business referrals, financial planning and insurance reviews, referrals for products and services offered by other parts of Citi and/or those offered by third parties, client retention, client servicing satisfaction and the financial advisor’s adherence to Citi’s risk management and compliance requirements. Because CPWM/CPII financial advisors receive compensation that is tied, directly or indirectly, to the advisory revenue they generate and the amount of new investment assets they attract, including the level of account assets under management, CPWM/CPII financial advisors have incentives to make recommendations and encourage clients to take actions that generate additional revenues and that conflict with a client’s interest to minimize the fees and expenses the client incurs. CPWM/CPII has established a recruitment compensation program under which newly qualified associated CPWM financial advisors are eligible for the loan plus bonus compensation program. The amount of compensation received by eligible CPWM financial advisors is a critical incentive to support their transition to join CPWM/CPII. Under the program, we offer a long- term bonus program that provides quarterly bonus payments over a 9-year period. The size of the bonus program is generally based on the financial advisor’s business at their prior firm, as 57 well as the amount of investment assets from new clients within the first two years of employment at Citi. These advisors are also eligible to receive an advance on their quarterly payments in the form of a 9-year loan. The bonus program has certain eligibility requirements including quarter over quarter assets under management, revenue thresholds starting in year 4, and Citi’s risk management and compliance requirements. If a financial advisor voluntarily or involuntarily terminates from CPWM/CPII their quarterly bonus payments would stop and their outstanding principal plus interest balance on their loan would be due immediately. The CPWM recruitment compensation program described above is in addition to the compensation that participating CPWM financial advisors are otherwise entitled to and creates a conflict with client interests because these financial advisors have an incentive to recommend that you transfer your account to CGMI and switch investment products or services where a client’s current investment options are not available through CGMI, with respect to the type of account you open, the amount of assets you invest and the types of product or service they recommend, to qualify for the bonus compensation to repay their loans. CGMI and the CPWM financial advisors seek to mitigate these conflicts by disclosing them to you, and by following procedures that we believe are reasonably designed to ensure that our recommendations are in your best interest. CPB and WaW Financial Advisers CPB and WaW financial advisers, including the bankers, investment counselors and product specialists who provide services in connection with clients’ advisory account(s), receive a fixed base salary plus a discretionary annual bonus, which is based on the employee’s performance over the entire year. To determine the discretionary bonus, CPB and WaW apply a balanced assessment through a scorecard that incorporates a qualitative assessment based on talent management, partnership, leadership, participation in corporate initiatives, and adherence to Citi’s risk management and compliance requirements and a quantitative assessment based on various financial metrics described below. Quantitative financial performance assessment is focused primarily on revenue growth, new client acquisition, asset growth, investment advisory account (managed investments) assets under management growth and net product sales (which subtracts client redemptions from gross sales). The scorecard also considers referrals for products and services offered by other parts of Citi and/or those offered by third parties. Because CPB and WaW financial advisers receive compensation that is tied to the advisory revenue they generate and the amount of new investment assets they attract, including the level of account assets under management, CPB and WaW financial advisers have incentives to make recommendations and encourage clients to take actions that generate additional revenues and that conflict with a client’s interest to minimize the fees and expenses the client incurs. While these financial performance measures are taken into account, financial advisers do not receive any direct percentage of the brokerage or advisory revenue they generate. Other core factors on the scorecard include a measure of overall performance against the financial adviser’s goals and relative performance against peers in similar roles to determine final performance rating. The ultimate decision to grant the discretionary bonus, and the value and form it takes, are in the sole discretion of management, and depends on factors such as Citi’s overall performance, CPB and WaW’s performance, the financial adviser’s business or functional group’s performance, as well as the individual’s final performance rating. CGMI, All Financial Advisers, and Employees of CGMI Affiliates The discretionary bonus and incentive compensation arrangements described above create a conflict of interest because financial advisers receive compensation that is influenced by the revenue, asset growth and product sales that he or she generates. This conflict incentivizes financial advisers to generally recommend the purchase of additional products and services, and that clients increase their existing investment advisory account assets. These metrics, as they are based in part on net sales, also disincentivize recommendations to redeem products. 58 Moreover, the scorecard weighs more heavily certain types of investment products and services over others, which creates an incentive to sell such products or services. For example, the conflict of interest arises because financial advisers earn more for selling products and services that generate ongoing revenue, such as the Program accounts described in this brochure. This compensation arrangement also provides financial advisers with an incentive to recommend that you open an advisory account instead of a brokerage account because advisory programs generally generate higher ongoing fee revenue than a brokerage relationship. Finally, the consideration of referral activity as a scorecard metric creates a conflict of interest because financial advisers are incentivized to recommend that clients purchase products and services from CGMI affiliates and/or third parties. The amount of the fees received by CGMI, CGMI financial advisers, and employees of CGMI affiliates are typically higher when (i) the client participates in an asset-based fee Program instead of paying separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services, and (ii) the client’s portfolio is managed by an investment manager affiliated with CGMI or by a CGMI financial adviser rather than an unaffiliated investment manager. The opportunity to negotiate higher fees could result in CGMI financial advisers recommending themselves or affiliated investment managers more frequently than unaffiliated investment managers, which is a conflict of interest with our clients. In addition to these financial benefits, there are reputational, marketing and non-pecuniary benefits that accrue to both CGMI and CIM when CIM increases its assets under management. Because of the opportunity to increase compensation, CGMI financial advisers and employees of CGMI affiliates have a financial incentive: (i) to recommend certain Programs (such as a CGMI Program using an affiliated investment manager or where the CGMI financial adviser serves as portfolio manager) over another Program (such as a CGMI Program where the client is charged a third-party investment manager fee; (ii) to recommend an unaffiliated investment manager that charges the client a lower fee than another unaffiliated investment manager that charges a higher fee for a similar strategy; and (iii) to recommend themselves or an affiliated investment manager over an unaffiliated investment manager. CGMI earns fees or other income for services other than investment advisory services, including, among other things, permitting qualifying clients to take out loans that are secured by the assets in the client’s account (for more information, see “Item 9.A.2. – Lending Against Advisory Accounts”). CGMI financial advisers also offer products and services other than investment advisory services. The amount of compensation they receive for advisory services can be either more or less than compensation received for non-advisory products and services. These arrangements present conflicts of interest because CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to offer clients non-advisory products and services that increase the overall compensation received. Block Trades May Benefit CGMI or its Affiliates As explained in “Item 4.C–Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges,” where an investment manager directs some block trades to CGMI or Clearing Firm for execution, the block can include trades for Program accounts as well as for Other Accounts. Although CGMI and Clearing Firm executes these block trades at no commission, CGMI obtains a benefit from executing these block trades, as a result of the increased trading volume attributable to these blocks. Item 5. Account Requirements and Types of Clients Detailed below are the general account minimums for each of the Programs, but account minimums vary depending on the investment managers and investment strategy that the client selects. Fiduciary Services Program – $50,000 59 Manager Selection Program – $50,000 Consulting and Evaluation Services Program ▪ CPB and WaW clients – $1,000,000 ▪ CPWM/CPII clients – $100,000 Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program ▪ Discretionary Investment Bespoke – $25,000,000 (minimum amount of assets subject to the Discretionary Bespoke agreement) ▪ Multi-Asset Class Solutions Umbrella Portfolios Program – $100,000 (Tax Aware – ETF only), $250,000 (Standard), $250,000 (Sustainable Opportunities and Global Opportunities), $1,000,000 (Core), $500,000 (Active/Passive blend), $750,000 (Tax Aware – SMAs and ETFs) and $10,000,000 (Custom) ▪ MACS Citi Active Allocation – $100,000 (Standard), $100,000 (Tax Aware – ETF only, Sustainable Opportunities and Global Opportunities), $750,000 (Tax Aware – SMAs and ETFs) $1,000,000 (Core), and $10,000,000 (Custom) Advisory Portfolios Program ▪ Advisory Portfolios Custom – $25,000,000 (minimum amount of assets subject to the AP Custom agreement) ▪ Advisory Portfolios Core – $250,000 Citi Advisor Program – $100,000 Citi Portfolio Manager Program – $25,000 Model Allocations Portfolios Program – $25,000 Dynamic Allocation Portfolios – UMA Program – $25,000, $100,000 (custom model) CGMI has discretion to waive certain account minimums listed above. Additionally, investment manager minimums may vary at the discretion of the manager. CGMI is authorized to freeze accounts under certain circumstances, including in connection with regulatory requirements, as provided under the terms of the Program Agreements, and other special circumstances in accordance with its internal policy. Under appropriate circumstances, fees will continue to be charged on the frozen accounts. CGMI reserves the right to terminate the client’s Program Agreement upon notice to the client. Clients eligible to participate in the Programs include individuals, multi-family offices, corporations, trusts, endowments, foundations, charitable organizations, pension and profit sharing plans, other businesses, and governmental entities. CPB and WaW client accounts that are employee benefit plans and retirement plans, including IRAs, (collectively, “Retirement Accounts”) are permitted to open new accounts only in the Multi-Asset Class Solutions and Advisory Portfolios Programs. CPWM/CPII client accounts that are Retirement Accounts are permitted to open new accounts in all of the eligible Programs except the Fiduciary Services Program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Retirement Accounts that were already enrolled, as of February 1, 2022, in any of the Programs described in this brochure will be permitted to remain in such Programs from and after such time, and will continue to be permitted to contribute new assets or funds to their accounts. Some Retirement Accounts will be subject to restrictions, policies, and conditions that are different from those applicable to other accounts, and which will affect the types of 60 investments available, the manner in which transactions are carried out, and the fees and expenses that are charged. Consequently, such accounts will perform differently, and potentially worse, than they would have in the absence of such restrictions, policies, and conditions. With respect to certain Programs, a similar Program is available outside the U.S. for eligible clients with different fees, minimums, and terms. Item 6. Portfolio Manager Selection and Evaluation Research in Advisory Programs CGMI and its affiliates (or a third party retained by CGMI or an affiliate) use two primary methods – CitiAccess or CitiFocus -- to evaluate third-party investment managers (other than private fund managers), mutual funds, and other types of products in certain of the Programs (collectively, “Program Investment Products”). CitiFocus Under the CitiFocus standard, CGMI evaluates various qualitative and quantitative factors for each Program Investment Product, including, without limitation, biographies of key investment personnel, the investment philosophy, investment process, past performance information and marketing literature. CGMI personnel will also interview the investment manager and its key personnel and examine the investment process. Program Investment Products that are approved under the CitiFocus standard are then included on the “CitiFocus List” for Programs. ESG mutual funds must satisfy minimum criteria based on, among other things, the various qualitative and quantitative factors evaluated under the CitiFocus standard, the investment manager’s responses to a sustainability related survey or supplemental research conducted by CGMI. CGMI periodically reviews whether a Program Investment Product continues to meet the criteria for the CitiFocus standard. In conducting these reviews, CGMI considers a broad range of qualitative and quantitative factors including investment performance, staffing, operational issues and financial condition. Among other things, CGMI personnel interview each investment manager periodically to discuss these matters. CGMI tends to emphasize quantitative analysis with respect to Program Investment Products with which CGMI has previously conducted personal interviews. In addition, in certain instances CGMI will review the collective performance of a composite of the CGMI accounts being managed by an investment manager, compare that information to the overall performance data provided by the manager, and then investigate any material deviations. CitiAccess Under the CitiAccess standard, CGMI reviews Program Investment Products based on various quantitative factors. The Program Investment Products are evaluated according to various performance metrics, including absolute return, volatility, and risk-adjusted return. Not all Program Investment Products evaluated under the CitiAccess standard will be evaluated based on this rules-based approach. For the strategies or models that are difficult to evaluate based on the rules-based approach, a qualitative review is conducted. When a Program Investment Product is evaluated under the rules-based approach, analysts review the completeness and consistency of the data and will, to the extent necessary, follow- up with the Program Investment Product’s manager or sponsor with additional information requests. However, information provided by managers or sponsors of Program Investment Products in connection with the review process are not independently verified by CGMI. Program Investment Products that satisfy this rules-based approach are approved under the 61 CitiAccess standard. Program Investment Products that meet the CitiAccess standard are reviewed periodically by CGMI to evaluate whether they continue to meet this standard. Evaluation of ETFs ETFs are evaluated in accordance with CGMI’s due diligence procedures, which key evaluation criteria for ETFs include market value of the ETF, presence of leverage, the ETF sponsor’s total assets under management, and the sponsor’s length of experience in managing ETFs. Certain ETFs that do not meet these criteria may be approved subject to alternative procedures. In general, ETFs that either meet CGMI’s due diligence criteria or that do not meet the criteria but have been individually approved according to the alternative procedures may be included in certain Programs described herein. On Watch Policy – Third Party Managers Most of the covered Program Investment Products are subject to a review and an “on watch” policy. A Program Investment Product is designated with an “on watch” status when CGMI identifies specific areas of the investment manager’s business that (a) merit further evaluation by CGMI and (b) may, but are not certain to, result in the Program Investment Product being reclassified or terminated as an investment option in one or more Programs. The duration of an “on watch” status will vary according to the length of time necessary for CGMI to conduct its evaluation and for the Program Investment Product’s investment manager to address any areas of concern identified by CGMI. The On Watch Policy does not apply to affiliated managers – the due diligence process applicable to affiliated managers is described below in the “Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers” section. The reviews of investment managers and their respective Investment Products do not substitute for each client’s ongoing monitoring of their account(s) and the performance of their investments. CGMI may determine that a Program Investment Product no longer meets the CitiFocus standard, or will no longer be reviewed under the CitiFocus standard, but does meet the CitiAccess standard. In addition, CGMI may determine that a Program Investment Product no longer meets either research standard and therefore will no longer be made available in the Programs in the future. CGMI will notify clients in advance of removing a Program Investment Product from the applicable Programs, but Clients who participate in Programs in which CGMI retains investment discretion will not be notified in advance of such changes. In the event a client determines to remain invested in a Program Investment Product that is no longer approved for a Program, CGMI will (a) make no further representations concerning such Program Investment Product, (b) not assume any liability for any loss, claim, damage or expense attributable to client’s determination, and (c) not continue to evaluate or make any representations regarding such Program Investment Product. In general, CitiFocus entails a more rigorous and thorough evaluation of a Program Investment Product than CitiAccess and fewer investment options will qualify under the CitiFocus standard than the CitiAccess standard. It is important to note that not all Program Investment Products available in the Programs are evaluated under the CitiFocus or CitiAccess standards. The Programs that limit Program Investment Products only to those that have been evaluated and approved through CitiFocus or CitiAccess are described herein or in the separate sales and disclosure materials related to those Programs. Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers The C-RAM selects a subset of investment managers and investment funds for the MACS Program, Fiduciary Services Program and AP Custom. The investment managers and funds selected for the MACS Program, Fiduciary Services Program and AP Custom include those that are affiliated and unaffiliated with CGMI. The C-RAM has developed various criteria that are 62 used to screen affiliated and unaffiliated portfolio managers and investment funds. These criteria are subject to change from time to time. Program Investment Products that are on the CitiFocus List are automatically approved by the C-RAM for inclusion in its approved list for the MACS Program and the AP Custom. In addition, a Program Investment Product that meets the CitiFocus standard may be used in the MACS Program and AP Custom, even though the Program Investment Product is not on the CitiFocus List so long as it has been approved by C-RAM. Affiliated Manager Strategies In the case of affiliated manager strategies offered by CIM, an investment manager affiliated with CGMI, the C-RAM must approve each CIM managed strategy before it is made available to clients wishing to participate in such strategy as part of the MACS Program, Fiduciary Services Program or Advisory Portfolios Program. The C-RAM’s approval of CIM actively managed strategies is based on due diligence (including performance) conducted by an independent third-party consultant retained by a CGMI affiliate. The independent third-party’s due diligence of CIM actively managed strategies is a separate process from the due diligence process undertaken for the CitiFocus standards, and while similar, it will not be subject to the same requirements as the CitiFocus. The C-RAM considers whether CIM actively managed strategy’s performance is competitive with that of third-party strategies before approving it. The C- RAM’s approval of CIM passively managed (“index”) tax aware strategies, is based on operational due diligence conducted by an independent third-party consultant retained by a CGMI affiliate. The independent third-party’s operational risk research is a process driven evaluation. The C-RAM considers the operational risk research and also considers whether CIM passively managed tax aware strategy performance, as reviewed based upon internally collected data, is comparative to that of the index benchmark before approving it. Additionally, as part of on-going review of client accounts, CGMI reviews and evaluates CIM managed strategies’ characteristics, performance, and compliance with clients’ investment policy statement or investment guidelines, as applicable. Alternative Investments In the case of unaffiliated alternative investment managers (and unaffiliated alternative investments funds), an alternative investment oversight committee and an alternative investment portfolio oversight committee (collectively, “AI Committees,” and both established within CPB) review them before they become available as a Program Investment Product in the MACS Program or Advisory Portfolios Program. From the universe of such approved unaffiliated alternative investment funds, CGMI or its affiliate can construct a proprietary fund of funds or a portfolio of alternative investment funds, which can be made available for clients in the MACS Program or AP Custom. The C-RAM periodically reviews and approves such proprietary funds of funds based on their performance, costs, and investment processes compared to third-party funds of funds. The AI Committees approve the investment funds available and review construction of such portfolios of alternative investment funds and the performance of such portfolios. Where clients enter into a separate advisory agreement with a CGMI affiliated investment manager to invest in alternative investments and such alternative investments are included in the MACS asset allocation guidelines, the C-RAM will not review the affiliated investment manager (including the affiliated investment manager’s investment performance, staffing, operational issues, and financial condition). The review of the affiliated investment manager’s performance and processes will be subject to the affiliated investment manager’s own internal procedures. However, CGMI will review the allocation to the asset category to determine whether the allocation aligns with the client’s investment statement policy or investment guidelines under MACS or AP Custom. 63 Portfolio Manager Performance CGMI does not use any industry standards, such as GIPS, to calculate performance of investment managers. Investment managers calculate their own performance. Review of Performance Information Neither CGMI, its affiliates, nor any third party reviews investment manager or fund performance information to determine or verify its accuracy or its compliance with industry standards. CGMI can include in a Program investment managers and funds that have no prior performance in particular investment strategies. In such cases, CGMI screens these candidates for all other applicable criteria described above and may evaluate past performance achieved in other strategies. For additional information on performance reports or assessments, see Program descriptions in “Item 4.A.4 – Types of Advisory Services Offered.” Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management CGMI does not charge a performance-based fee in connection with the Programs, but certain investment managers or investment funds in which a client invests may charge a performance fee in addition to management fees. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Please see “Item 6–Research in Advisory Programs” and “Item A.4. Types of Advisory Services” for a description of the methods of analysis and investment strategies used in the Programs. Set forth below is a summary description of risks related to the Programs and certain investment products in which clients invest. The risks and investment products discussed below are not comprehensive, and clients should review all investment materials available from their financial adviser about their investments, including prospectuses and other offering materials produced by issuers and sponsors of investment products. General Risks Associated with Investments Investing in securities and other financial instruments involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear, including potential loss of the entire investment, including the principal. The investment performance and success of any particular investment cannot be predicted or guaranteed. Potential risks that affect the value of client accounts include, among others, losses caused by adverse market conditions, market volatility, limited liquidity, currency fluctuations, political risks, and other market action. Past performance of investments is not indicative of future performance. The investment advisory programs described in this brochure are not insured by any agency. Asset Allocation Risk Asset allocation portfolios are dependent upon CGMI’s ability to make allocations and investment decisions that achieve a portfolio’s investment objective. There is a risk that CGMI’s evaluations and assumptions used in making such allocations may not achieve the objective, and that a portfolio may underperform its benchmark or other portfolios with similar investment objectives. Cybersecurity Risks CGMI, its affiliates, service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. 64 They rely on computer programs to evaluate certain securities and other investments, to monitor their portfolios, to trade, clear and settle securities transactions, and to generate asset, risk management and other reports that are utilized in the oversight of their activities, among other things. In addition, certain of their operations interface with or depend on systems operated by third parties and they will not always be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third-party systems. These systems are susceptible to operational, informational security, and related risks that could adversely affect CGMI and the clients. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Like other financial services firms, CGMI experiences malicious cyber activity directed at its computer systems, software, networks and its users on a daily basis. This malicious activity includes attempts at unauthorized access, implantation of computer viruses or malware, and denial-of-service attacks. CGMI also experiences large volumes of phishing and other forms of social engineering attempted for the purpose of perpetrating fraud against CGMI, its associates, or its clients. Attacks also may be carried out by causing denial- of-service attacks on websites (making network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber incidents could cause disruptions and affect business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business or trade (including failure of trade settlements, inaccurate recording or processing of trades, inaccurate client records, inability to monitor investments and risks), destruction to equipment and systems, loss or theft of investor data, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation or liability costs, or additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result from cyber incidents affecting the investments in which the Programs invest, including those affecting other investment managers, issuers of securities and other interests, brokers, dealers, exchanges, and other financial institutions and market operators. The increased use of mobile and cloud technologies, including as a result of the shift to work- from-home arrangements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened these and other operational risks, and any failure by CGMI’s mobile or cloud technology service providers to adequately safeguard the systems CGMI uses and prevent or quickly detect and remediate cyber attacks could disrupt CGMI’s operations and result in misappropriation, corruption or loss of confidential or propriety information. Global and Regional Events Risks Global and regional events such as war, terrorist attacks, political unrest, climate change, natural disasters, public health crises, and pandemics may cause substantial losses by, among other things: causing disruptions in global economic conditions; decreasing investor confidence; disrupting financial markets and the ability to conduct business activities; causing loss or displacement of employees; triggering large-scale technology failures or delays; and requiring substantial capital expenditures and operating expenses to remediate damage and restore operations. Inflation in the U.S. could continue or reaccelerate in the near- to medium-term. Further, heightened competition for workers, supply chain issues and rising energy and commodity prices have contributed to increasing wages and other inputs. Higher inflation and rising costs present material uncertainty with respect to investment performance. Current Russian military activities within Ukraine, resulting in international economic sanctions and other restrictive actions against Russia, and associated mounting tensions, are expected to result in material market volatility, have a materially negative impact on the economy and business activity globally, and therefore could materially adversely affect investment performance. Furthermore, the rapid and uncertain development of the current conflict between the two nations and the varying involvement of other countries, including the U.S. and other members of NATO, makes the ultimate adverse impact on global economic and market conditions difficult to predict. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export 65 controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions and impacts on the markets for certain commodities, such as oil and natural gas, present material uncertainty and risk and could have a material adverse effect on issuers of securities and their respective businesses, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations and may cause the market value of such issuers to decline materially. Equity Securities Risks An investment in equity securities generally refers to the buying of shares of stock in a corporation or other legal entity. Typically, clients who purchase equity securities seek capital appreciation, which occurs when the shares rise in value. Clients may have a secondary goal of income from a distribution of some of the company’s earnings to shareholders, called dividends. In addition, holders of equity securities may, depending on the type of shares they own, receive voting rights with respect to the company’s initiatives put up for a shareholder vote, and may recover some of the company’s assets in the event the company is dissolved. However, equity shareholders generally have the lowest priority in recovering their investment during the dissolution process. The returns on equity securities are not guaranteed, prices may be volatile, and a client could lose the entire amount of his or her investment. There may be additional risks associated with international investing, including economic, political, monetary and legal factors, changing currency exchange rates, foreign taxes, and differences in financial and accounting standards. These risks often are magnified in emerging markets. Fixed Income Securities Risks Fixed income securities are debt obligations issued by a company, government, municipality, agency or other entity. A client who purchases a fixed income security lends money to the issuer of the security. In return, the issuer makes a legal commitment to pay the client interest on the principal (at a fixed or floating rate) and, in most cases, to return the principal when the security comes due, or matures, at a certain date. Fixed income securities can provide a regular income stream from the interest paid prior to maturity but are also subject to certain unique risks, some of which are described below. Clients commonly use fixed income securities to diversify their portfolios and balance their exposure to other types of investments, including equities. Fixed income securities are subject to the following risks: Default: The issuer of a fixed income security may default on its repayment obligations by not making interest or principal payments. Issuers have varying degrees of credit risk that depend on factors related to the issuer specifically, such as its existing debt obligations, and factors related to external circumstances, such as events that affect a particular industry or the political, social, economic and environmental circumstances where the issuer is located or does business. Interest Rates: Fixed income securities also are subject to changes in value resulting from fluctuations in market interest rates if sold prior to maturity. Typically, a fixed income security’s price declines when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Therefore, a fixed income security’s yield will rise as its price declines and vice- versa. Inflation may reduce the effective return of a fixed income security with a fixed interest rate. Fixed Income Markets: Fixed income securities are commonly traded “over the counter” rather than on centralized exchanges, and pose a greater risk than common stocks that a client will not be able to purchase or sell a fixed income security at a desired time or price. The markets for certain fixed income securities can be thin, and reliable and current price quotations may not be available. Call Features: “Callable” fixed income securities can be retired prior to their scheduled maturity date at the issuer’s election. This may happen if interest rates fall and the issuer can issue new securities at a lower rate. If this occurs, the client holding the 66 retired securities receives repayment of principal owed, but would no longer receive the interest rate payment and would have to seek other options if the client wishes to reinvest the proceeds. Small-Capitalization Companies Risks Investing in small-capitalization companies involves greater risk than typically is associated with investing in securities of larger companies. Small-capitalization companies tend to be more sensitive to changing market conditions, as well as adverse business or economic developments, than large- and mid-capitalization companies. Small-capitalization companies may have a limited operating history, more limited product lines and markets, less experienced management, and fewer financial resources. In addition, the securities of small- capitalization companies may be more volatile and may be thinly traded, making it difficult to buy and sell them at desired times or at desired prices. Emerging Markets Risks Investments in companies incorporated or principally engaged in business in emerging markets often carry greater risk than investments in securities of companies operating in developed markets. The risks of investing in companies operating in emerging markets are magnified because of, among other things, political uncertainties and the relative instability of their developing financial markets and economies. Moreover, many emerging market countries do not have fully developed or clear legal, judicial, regulatory or settlement infrastructures. Consequently, making investments in companies operating in these markets involves significant risks that may not be present in more developed markets. Such risks include (a) potential price volatility in and relative liquidity of some emerging markets securities; (b) the absence of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements, and less government supervision and regulation; and (c) certain economic and political risks, including potential exchange control regulations and potential restrictions on foreign investment and repatriation of capital. Many emerging markets securities are denominated in foreign currencies. The weakening of a country’s currency relative to the U.S. dollar or other benchmark currency will negatively affect the dollar/other benchmark value of an investment denominated in that currency. Currency valuations are linked to a host of economic, social and political factors and can fluctuate greatly. It is important to note that some emerging markets countries have foreign exchange controls that may include the suspension of the ability to exchange or transfer currency, or the devaluation of the currency. Concentrated Strategy and Sector Risks Strategies that invest in a concentrated number of securities, a specific sector, or geographic region can be more volatile and present a greater risk of loss than a more diversified strategy and the stock market more generally. For example, when a strategy invests in a concentrated number of securities, a decline in the value of these securities would cause your overall account value to decline to a greater degree than that of a less concentrated portfolio. Similarly, when a strategy invests primarily in a specific industry sector, an account invested in the strategy will perform poorly during an economic downturn in that sector. A strategy with investments concentrated in a particular country or region are more exposed to the risk of loss associated with adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in that country or region than more diversified strategies. In each case, account performance may deviate significantly from broad market indexes. Options Risks An option is a contract that gives the options buyer (also known as the options “holder”) the right to buy or sell an underlying asset or instrument at a specified strike price on or before a 67 specified date. The options seller (also known as the options “writer”) has the corresponding obligation to fulfill the transaction—that is to sell or buy—if the buyer “exercises” the option. The buyer pays a premium to the seller for this right. The total cost (the price) of an option is called the premium. This price is determined by factors including the stock price, strike price, time remaining until expiration (time value) and volatility. Investing in options involves significant risks, and is not appropriate for everyone. An options buyer runs the risk of losing the entire amount paid for the option in a relatively short period of time, and an options seller runs the risk that the option may be exercised at any time during the period the option is exercisable. If clients write both a put and a call on the same underlying instrument, or if clients write uncovered options, their potential loss is unlimited. The writer of an uncovered call is in an extremely risky position, and may incur large losses if the value of the underlying instrument increases above the exercise price. As with writing uncovered calls, the risk of writing uncovered put options is substantial. The writer of an uncovered put option bears a risk of loss if the value of the underlying instrument declines below the exercise price. Uncovered option writing is suitable for only the knowledgeable client who understands the risks, has the financial capacity and willingness to incur potentially substantial losses and has sufficient liquid assets to meet applicable margin requirements. Commissions, taxes and margin costs will affect the outcome of any options transaction and can have a significant impact on the profitability of options transactions and should be considered carefully before entering into any options strategy. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all option transactions, an investor considering options should consult with his or her tax advisor as to how their tax situation is affected by the outcome of contemplated options transactions. Mutual Fund Risks A mutual fund is an investment company that allows investors to purchase an undivided interest in a portfolio of securities and other assets. A mutual fund’s portfolio may consist of stocks, bonds, money market instruments, commodities, derivatives, and other financial assets to achieve the investment objectives stated in the mutual fund’s prospectus. Mutual funds, like other investments, are subject to certain risks. The internal costs and expenses charged by a mutual fund are borne proportionately by its shareholders, and those expenses adversely affect investment performance. Returns are not guaranteed, NAVs may be volatile and an investor in a mutual fund could lose the entire amount of his or her investment. Investing in mutual funds that invest in international, aggressive growth stocks, or less liquid securities may only be appropriate for clients whose investment profile allows them to assume the risks associated with those funds. Alternative Mutual Funds Risk Alternative mutual funds are publicly offered mutual funds that have many of the same protections as other registered investment companies but accomplish investment objectives through non-traditional investments and trading strategies. Alternative mutual funds are speculative and involve significant risks including but not limited to those associated with the use of derivative instruments for hedging or leverage, liquidity and volatility risks associated with distressed investments, liquidity risks associated with restrictions on securities purchased in an initial public offering or from privately held issuers, currency risk due to investments in or exposure to foreign assets or instruments, and risks associated with short selling of securities. Exchange-Traded Funds Risks An exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) is an investment company that allows investors to purchase an individual, proportionate interest in a portfolio of stocks, bonds, and other assets. ETFs are structured as funds and provide exposure to a diversified collection of assets. An ETF’s price will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities or financial instruments to which it 68 provides exposure. Shares of an ETF trade on an exchange, and therefore, the value of such shares may differ from the value of the ETF’s underlying investments. ETFs may trade at a market price which reflects a “premium” or a “discount” to the net asset value (“NAV”) of their shares. If the market price is higher than the NAV, the ETF is said to be trading at a “premium”. If the price is lower, it is trading at a “discount”. Accordingly, ETFs may be purchased at prices that exceed the NAV of their underlying investments and may be sold at prices below such NAV. Under such circumstances the trading price of ETF shares will not mirror the NAV of the underlying investments of those ETF shares. Moreover, there are other costs associated with purchasing and selling an ETF, called a “bid-ask” spread (the difference between what a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for an ETF and the seller’s offering (ask) price. All of these transaction costs (which do not apply to the purchase and sale of mutual funds) will adversely affect the performance of the Programs that invest in ETFs. Returns are not guaranteed, prices may be volatile and the ETF will be subject to market, political, economic, currency and other risks related to the underlying securities or financial instruments to which it provides exposure, including the possible loss of principal. Changes in market conditions may affect the price of the underlying assets, leading to a change in the price of the ETF. Foreign exchange risks could arise when the currency of the assets held by the ETF differs from the denomination currency of the ETF or when the trading currency of the ETF differs from the denomination currency of the ETF. ETFs are also subject to liquidity risk if active trading of the ETF is not maintained when authorized participants or designated market makers cease to perform their obligations to provide continuous quotes in the ETF. Closed-End Funds Risks A closed-end fund (“CEF”) is a type of investment company that has a fixed number of shares that are generally not redeemable from the fund. Unlike open-end investment companies (i.e., mutual funds), shares of a CEF can be purchased only as part of an initial public offering or purchased and sold through secondary market transactions. CEFs have managers who oversee each fund’s portfolio and purchase and sell the fund’s portfolio investments. CEFs, like other investments, are subject to certain risks. Returns are not guaranteed, prices may be volatile and an investor in a CEF could lose the entire amount of his or her investment. Investing in CEFs that invest in international, aggressive growth stocks, or less liquid securities may only be appropriate for clients whose investment profile allows them to assume the risks associated with those funds. Money Market Fund Risks An investment in a money market mutual fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency. A money market mutual fund seeks income by investing in short-term debt securities. Money market mutual funds may have a floating net asset value or may seek to maintain a constant net asset value of $1 per share. For all money market mutual funds, including those that seek to maintain a constant NAV of $1 per share, it is possible to lose money. Furthermore, certain money market mutual funds subject investors to restrictions on the ability to redeem an investment in times of market stress, by imposing liquidity fees and/or temporary bans on redemptions. If the liquidity fees or bans on redemptions are triggered, then clients could be prevented from withdrawing some or all of their cash for investment purposes or for other liquidity needs. In addition, if money market mutual funds are forced to cease operations and their holdings must be liquidated or distributed in kind to the fund’s shareholders, then clients could be prevented or delayed from accessing their cash. Business Continuity Risk CGMI has business continuity plans that provide for continuity of critical operations and other activities during a variety of disruptions. They include client support responses such as conducting operations from alternate sites in different locations, if necessary, operating across 69 multiple power grids or operating with self-generating facilities while maintaining the firm’s presence in the marketplace and servicing client accounts. Although these plans are designed to limit the impact on clients from such business interruptions, unforeseen circumstances may create situations where CGMI is unable to fully recover from a significant business interruption. CGMI believes its planning and implementation process reduces the risk in this area. Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Investing Risks An ESG investment strategy is limited in the types and number of investment opportunities available and, as a result, an ESG investment strategy may underperform other investment strategies that do not have an ESG focus. An ESG investment strategy may invest in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. Frameworks for ESG investing vary among investment advisers and funds as the definition of each factor is subjective. Therefore, the companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser as demonstrating ESG characteristics may not be the same companies selected by other index providers or investment advisers that use similar ESG screens. Further, an index provider or investment adviser may select companies based on a particular ESG factor or factors rather than a holistic assessment of a company’s ESG characteristics. In addition, companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser may not exhibit the ESG characteristics the index provider or investment adviser seeks to identify. Financial Services Industry Risks National and regional banks, financial institutions and other participants in the U.S. and global capital markets are closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, technology and other relationships. A significant adverse development (such as a bank run, insolvency, bankruptcy or default) with one or more national or regional banks, financial institutions or other participants in the financial or capital markets may spread to others and lead to significant concentrated or market-wide problems (such as defaults, liquidity problems, impairment charges, additional bank runs and/or losses) for other participants in these markets. Future developments, including actions taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, and systemic risk in the U.S. and global banking sectors and broader economies in general, are difficult to assess and quantify, and the form and magnitude of such developments or other actions of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board may remain unknown for significant periods of time and could have an adverse effect on investments. Tax-Loss Harvesting Risks We offer tax-loss harvesting through certain of our advisory programs. Tax-loss harvesting involves a variety or risks. During certain market conditions, such as lower volatility periods and periods of strong economic growth, the manager’s ability to generate capital losses to offset capital gains may be limited, which would limit the account’s ability to implement its tax- loss harvesting strategy. In addition, because tax-loss harvesting continuously decreases the cost-basis of the account’s portfolio, there is a risk that opportunities to realize losses may decrease over time. Tax-loss harvesting may result in significant deviation from the model portfolio and may increase the account’s portfolio turnover rate. You should confer with your personal tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of investing with the Program prior to engaging in any tax-loss harvesting strategy, based on your particular circumstances. Neither CGMI nor any third-party investment manager assumes any responsibility to you for the tax consequences of any transaction. No tax-loss harvesting strategy is intended as tax advice, and neither CGMI nor any third-party investment manager represents in any manner that the tax consequences described will be obtained or that a “tax aware” investment strategy will result in any particular tax consequence. The tax consequences of tax-loss harvesting 70 strategies are complex and may be subject to challenge by the IRS. No tax-loss harvesting strategy available in the Programs was developed to be used by, and it cannot be used by, any investor to avoid penalties or interest. You and your personal tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions in your account are reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority. You should be aware that if you and/or your spouse have other taxable or non-taxable accounts, and you hold in those accounts any of the securities (including options contracts) held in your account, you cannot trade any of those securities 30 days before or after the Program account trades those same securities as part of the tax-loss harvesting strategy to avoid possible wash sales and, as a result, a nullification of any tax benefits of the strategy. It is your responsibility to monitor transactions across all of your accounts. When CGMI or a third-party investment manager replaces investments with “similar” investments as part of the tax-loss harvesting strategy, such investments are not guaranteed to perform similarly to the initial investment or lower an investor’s tax liability. Expected returns and risk characteristics are no guarantee of actual performance. Structured Products Risks Structured products are instruments issued by financial institutions that offer the potential to earn returns based on the performance of one or more underlying assets, such as equities, currencies, interest rates, commodities, fixed-income securities or derivatives, mutual funds or some combination thereof. Structured notes, for example, are senior unsecured debt obligations issued by a financial institution that mature at a certain date. Unlike conventional corporate bonds, the return and value of a structured note are based on the performance of one or more underlying assets. Structured products involve significant risks and complex structures and are not appropriate for everyone. Structured products often have features that are not applicable to an investment in a structured product’s underlying asset(s). For example, the potential return from a structured product may be limited or “capped,” meaning that clients do not participate in the appreciation of an underlying asset beyond a certain limit or at all depending on the structured product. Investors in structured products also give up certain rights and benefits associated with direct ownership, such as voting rights, by investing in a structured product rather than investing directly in its underlying asset. Structured products involve additional risks relating to: • • • • • • issuer creditworthiness; tax treatment; reliance on the calculation agent and its models to determine the estimated value of a structured product; the issuer’s ability to redeem or “call” a product before it matures at a price that may not equal its face value; the possibility of in-kind settlement upon maturity; and conflicts of interest due to the variety of roles, including acting as calculation agent, that an issuer and its affiliate may play in connection with a structured product. The returns of a structured product may vary throughout the term of the product, may be subject to certain conditions and/or may be paid on certain specified dates during the term of the product and/or at maturity. Portfolios with structured products may become concentrated in an issuer, sector or underlying asset or asset class. In addition to the performance of its underlying asset, a structured product’s fees, expenses and costs, as well as market factors, also influence the value of the structured product prior to maturity. Therefore, the value of a structured product prior to maturity may be more or less than its initial price and may be substantially different from the payment expected at maturity. 71 Most structured products are not actively traded in the secondary market and few structured products are listed on an exchange. If an issuer is making a secondary market for its structured product, the product may be redeemed from a holder at a significant discount to the product’s fair value. Investors generally must hold a structured product to maturity to receive the stated payout, including any repayment of principal. Hedge Funds Risks Hedge funds are professionally managed, pooled investment vehicles that use sophisticated investment techniques, such as active trading, short selling, arbitrage and leverage, to pursue one or more investment strategies. Hedge funds involve significant risks and are not appropriate for everyone. Investments in hedge funds are speculative, and the investment strategies typically involve a substantial degree of risk, such as the use of leverage. Hedge fund investments are illiquid compared to other assets, such as mutual funds. No public market exists for interests in hedge funds, and opportunities may be limited to dispose of them in private transactions. Unlike with mutual funds, redemptions from hedge funds are available only at certain defined times, such as on a quarterly or less frequent basis. Redemptions from hedge funds may also be subject to various restrictions, including prior notice and minimum redemption requirements and lock-up periods of one year or more. An investment in a hedge fund is suitable only for certain sophisticated investors who do not need immediate liquidity in their investment. Private Equity and Real Estate Funds Risks Private equity funds are limited partnerships, limited liability companies or other investment vehicles that typically acquire non-publicly traded interests in operating companies that they may hold for extended periods of time. Real estate funds may be limited partnerships, limited liability companies and other investment vehicles that typically invest, directly or indirectly, in real estate and real estate-related investments. Private equity and real estate funds involve significant risks and are not appropriate for everyone. Investments in private equity and real estate funds are speculative and the investment strategies typically involve a substantial degree of risk, such as the use of leverage. Private equity and real estate fund investments are illiquid compared to other assets, such as mutual funds. No public market exists for interests in these products, and opportunities may be limited to dispose of them in private transactions. Private equity and real estate funds generally impose substantial restrictions on transferring an interest in the fund and require the relevant fund manager to consent. An investment in a private equity or real estate fund is suitable only for certain sophisticated investors who do not need immediate liquidity in their investment. Digital Asset Investment Products Risks Digital asset-related investment products (“Digital Asset Investment Products”), which may be used in implementing our investment advice, are products in which the issuer invests in, or the underlying reference asset is linked to, a “digital asset,” such as cryptocurrency assets. Investments in Digital Asset Investment Products are highly speculative, and the investment strategies typically involve a substantial degree of risk. The prices of digital assets, including bitcoin, have experienced higher levels of volatility relative to equity, commodity, and fixed income markets and may continue to do so. Digital assets and Digital Asset Investment Products are an emerging class of investment products and subject to unique risks, including, but not limited to: Valuation Risk: Most digital assets have no broadly accepted or standardized valuation methodologies in place. Digital assets and derivatives based on digital assets are subject to rapid price swings, including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media. A significant portion of the demand for digital assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from short- or long-term holdings. The Digital Asset Exchanges are largely unregulated, and some exchanges have been closed due to fraud, business failure or 72 security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of such Digital Asset Exchanges were not compensated or made whole for the partial or complete losses of their account balances. Legal, Tax, and Regulatory Risks: Digital assets are largely unregulated as the regulatory requirements associated with digital assets continues to evolve. Given the brevity of blockchain-based digital assets’ existence, global regulatory, legal and tax regimes differ by jurisdiction and may change rapidly. Digital Asset Exchanges may also be subject to heightened regulatory requirements, including registration requirements, which may adversely affect their ability to continue operating as trading venues for digital assets. Such regulatory actions may also impact CGMI’s ability to continue servicing and/or transacting in Digital Asset Investment Products. Digital assets may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments. Voting Client Securities When investing in AP Custom, FS, MSP, CES, and MACS UMA and MACS Citi Active Allocation (Tax Aware only), clients have the option to elect to have the investment manager vote proxies on the client’s behalf. If a client elects this option, the investment manager will vote proxies related to all securities held in the account managed by the investment manager. When investing in MACS UMA or MACS Citi Active Allocation (except as described above), Discretionary Bespoke, Citi Portfolio Manager Program, or MAP, clients have the option to delegate all proxy voting authority to CGMI, which then further delegates such authority to Institutional Shareholder Services (“ISS”) or another proxy voting service (the “Proxy Voting Service”) satisfactory to CGMI. If a client elects this option, CGMI’s designee will vote proxies related to all securities held in the account in accordance with the Proxy Voting Service’s recommendations. In cases where the Proxy Voting Service does not generate a recommendation for a proxy vote, the Proxy Voting Service will vote proxies in proportion to the votes of the other holders of the security for which the proxy vote is requested. When investing in DAP, clients have the option to delegate proxy voting authority to CGMI’s designee, or the Overlay Manager, as applicable, and to instruct them to follow the recommendations of the Proxy Voting Service. If a client elects this option, CGMI’s designee, or the Overlay Manager, as applicable, will vote proxies related to all securities held in the managed account in accordance with the Proxy Voting Service’s recommendations. In cases where the Proxy Voting Service does not generate a recommendation for a proxy vote, the Proxy Voting Service or the Overlay Manager, as applicable, will vote proxies in proportion to the votes of the other holders of the security for which the proxy vote is requested. In providing the services, the investment manager, CGMI’s designee or the Overlay Manager, as applicable, will vote proxies in accordance with applicable fiduciary obligations as set forth in its proxy voting policies and procedures. These proxy voting policies and procedures (i) contain general guidelines that the party must follow to ensure that it votes proxies in a manner consistent with the best interests of clients and (ii) are designed to ensure that material conflicts of interest are avoided and/or resolved in a manner that is consistent with fiduciary obligations. A client may obtain copies of applicable proxy voting policies and procedures from its CGMI financial adviser. A client also can obtain information regarding how CGMI’s designee or the Overlay Manager, as applicable, voted a specific proxy on behalf of a client’s account by submitting a written request to its CGMI financial adviser. If a client no longer wishes to delegate proxy voting authority to the investment manager, CGMI’s designee or the Overlay Manager, the client can cancel the proxy waiver election by contacting the client’s CGMI financial adviser, in which case, the investment manager, CGMI’s designee or the Overlay Manager, as applicable, will cease voting proxies for any securities in the client’s account, including securities over which CGMI’s designee or the Overlay Manager has investment discretion, and all such proxies will be delivered directly to the client for 73 consideration. If a client no longer wishes to delegate proxy voting authority to the investment manager, CGMI’s designee or the Overlay Manager with respect to non-discretionary assets in an account, but would like the investment manager, CGMI’s designee or the Overlay Manager to continue voting proxies for discretionary assets in an account, the client should contact the CGMI financial adviser and arrange to transfer the non-discretionary assets to another non- discretionary account. Clients participating in Citi Advisor (unless part of Discretionary Bespoke) and AP Core do not have the option to delegate proxy voting authority to CGMI. Item 7. Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers In connection with various Programs described herein, CGMI or an affiliate will provide a client’s information to the investment manager selected to manage the account. Clients can update or change information at any time by contacting the client’s CGMI financial adviser. Any changed information will be transmitted promptly to the investment manager selected to manage the client’s account. For CES, if a client elects to retain an investment manager that is no longer approved for the Program, the client will not be asked by CGMI to fill out a client information form. Item 8. Client Contact with Portfolio Managers There are no restrictions on a client’s ability to contact and consult with its investment managers. However, as a general matter, clients are encouraged to contact their CGMI financial advisers to facilitate any discussions with the portfolio managers. Item 9. Additional Information A.1 Disciplinary Information Below are summaries of certain legal and disciplinary events that may be material to clients and prospective clients. Additional information about legal and disciplinary events is available in Item 11 of our Form ADV, Part 1A, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. SEC Claims Related to ASTA/MAT and Falcon Funds On August 17, 2015, the SEC announced that Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC (“CAI”) and CGMI (collectively with CAI, the “Respondents”) agreed to a settlement of allegations that, in connection with the offer and sale of securities in two now-defunct hedge funds, (1) the Respondents willfully violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), (2) CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”), and (3) CAI willfully violated Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder (the “Order”). The SEC alleged that the Respondents violated the law in misrepresenting the hedge funds’ risks and performance. Without admitting or denying the findings contained in the Order, with the exception of the Commission’s jurisdiction over them and the subject matter of the proceedings, the Respondents agreed to the following sanctions: (a) Respondents to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (b) CGMI to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act, (c) CAI to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder, (d) Respondents to be censured, and (e) Respondents to pay disgorgement of $139,950,239 and prejudgment interest of $39,612,089. 74 SEC Claims Related to Surveillance of Principal Trading On August 19, 2015, the SEC and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the SEC found, and CGMI neither admitted nor denied, that CGMI was in violation of Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder, in connection with CGMI’s surveillance of principal trading against certain restricted trading lists and principal trading by an affiliated market maker Automated Trading Desk Financial Services LLC (“ATD”) in managed accounts. The SEC found that CGMI failed to adopt and comply with adequate related policies and procedures. Pursuant to the settlement, CGMI agreed to (1) cease and desist from certain conduct, (2) a censure, (3) pay a civil penalty of $15 million and (4) comply with certain undertakings, including to continue to retain a consultant to conduct a comprehensive assessment of CGMI’s trade surveillance program and order handling in relation to transactions for which CGMI acts as an investment adviser. In determining to accept the settlement offer, the SEC considered the cooperation of, and certain remedial measures undertaken by CGMI, including (a) voluntarily retaining a consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of CGMI’s trade surveillance practices and to recommend improvements regarding CGMI’s policies and procedures and (b) voluntarily paying $2.5 million – representing ATD’s total profits from the principal transactions – to the affected advisory client accounts. SEC Claims Related to CitiFX Alpha Sold to MSSB Clients On January 24, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with the SEC related to a foreign exchange trading program known as “CitiFX Alpha,” which was sold to certain brokerage customers and advisory clients of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) during 2010 and 2011. At the time, CGMI held a 49% ownership interest in MSSB. The SEC alleged that CGMI omitted material information from investor presentations, including failure to disclose that a substantially higher leverage could be used than was disclosed and that mark-ups on trades would be charged, that caused the investors to suffer significant losses. Without admitting or denying the findings, CGMI agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act and pay disgorgement of $624,458.27, prejudgment interest of $89,277.34, and a civil money penalty of $2,250,000.00. TRAK Fund Solution Settlements CGMI settled two matters relating to overcharges in certain advisory client accounts. The overcharges related primarily to the TRAK Fund Solution program, which CGMI offered between 1991 and 2011. On January 26, 2017, the SEC issued an Order finding that CGMI violated various provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by overcharging or causing to be overcharged approximately 60,000 advisory client accounts in the amount of $18 million and by failing to keep proper books and records with respect to maintenance of client contracts. Those overcharges had, at the time of the Order, been reimbursed with interest, to the extent they could be identified. Pursuant to the Order, CGMI agreed to pay disgorgement and pre- judgment interest in the amount of $4,000,000, pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $14,300,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the SEC and remedial actions to the extent not already implemented. Copies of the Order can be obtained at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2017/34-79882.pdf or from your CGMI representative. On January 12, 2017, the New York Attorney General’s Office (“NYAG”) and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the NYAG found that CGMI had violated the Martin Act and Executive Law § 63(12) by overcharging certain advisory client accounts. CGMI agreed to pay a monetary penalty in the amount of $1,000,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the NYAG. FINRA Claims Related to Research Ratings 75 On December 28, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with FINRA. As part of that settlement, FINRA alleged that for a period of time, CGMI displayed (both internally and externally) inaccurate research ratings for certain equity securities. FINRA alleged that this inaccuracy, which resulted from errors in the electronic feed of ratings data that the firm provided to its clearing firm, caused CGMI to display the wrong rating for some covered securities (e.g., “buy” instead of “sell”), display ratings for other securities that CGMI was not actively covering at the time, and not display ratings for securities that CGMI, in fact, rated. FINRA also alleged that CGMI failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system and written supervisory procedures designed to ensure the accurate and complete dissemination of research ratings. Without admitting or denying the allegations, CGMI consented to a censure, a fine of $5.5 million, and an undertaking to pay compensation of at least $6 million to customers who were solicited to purchase or sell securities affected by the ratings display issues. A.2 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Registrations CGMI is registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer and security-based swap dealer with the SEC and is registered as a futures commission merchant and a swap dealer with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). Affiliates of CGMI are registered as investment advisers and broker-dealers and security-based swap dealers with the SEC, as well as with the CFTC as commodity pool operators and/or commodity trading advisers. CGMI is a member of all principal securities and commodities exchanges in the United States and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). In addition, CGMI holds memberships or associate memberships on several principal foreign securities and commodities exchanges. Material Relationships or Arrangements With Certain Related Persons. CGMI acts as a broker (i.e., agent) and as a dealer (i.e., principal) for corporate, institutional, governmental and private clients in the purchase and sale of a wide variety of securities and other investment products, including equity and debt securities traded on exchanges or in the over-the-counter market, mutual funds, money market instruments, government securities, high-yield bonds, municipal securities, financial futures contracts, and options. CGMI and its affiliates also act in a partnership capacity in a number of limited partnerships in which its clients may invest. As a futures commission merchant and swap dealer, CGMI also provides advice on commodities and commodity related products and deals in swaps and other derivative instruments. Below is a description of such relationships and some of the conflicts of interest that arise from them. CGMI has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to appropriately prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest that may arise between CGMI and its affiliates. See also “Item 9.B.1- Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading” for additional information on conflicts of interest and related policies and procedures of CGMI. CGMI provides a wide range of research services to its clients, including reports, analyses, charts, and graphs relating to various facets of the investment spectrum in equity and fixed income products. Research services generally are provided to clients on the assumption that the services will generate commission or other business for CGMI. However, certain research services are provided for a fixed fee and/or, in the case of firms that re-sell such services, in exchange for royalties. Such so-called “hard-dollar” fees generally are negotiable. Through its divisions, CGMI offers a wide variety of investment advisory services and investment advisory programs. CGMI’s investment advisory services are available to individuals, multi-family offices, corporations, trusts, endowments, foundations, charitable organizations, pension and profit sharing plans, other businesses, and governmental entities. The investment adviser affiliates of CGMI include, among others: Citi Global Alternatives, LLC; Citibank (Switzerland) A.G.; Citibank Canada Investment Funds Limited; Citigroup Alternative 76 Investments LLC; Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited, Cititrust (Bahamas) Ltd.; Cititrust (Cayman) Ltd.; Cititrust (Jersey) Ltd.; Citigroup First Investment Management Limited; and Citibank Europe PLC. Additional information about CGMI’s affiliates is disclosed in response to Item 7.A of CGMI’s Form ADV, Part 1A, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. Citigroup Life Agency LLC (“CLA”) is an affiliate of CGMI, through which CGMI representatives can function as insurance representatives to sell various insurance products. In California, CLA does business as Citigroup Life Insurance Agency, LLC (License Number 0G56746). CGMI and its affiliates provide a variety of services for various clients, including issuers of securities that CGMI recommends for purchase or sale by clients. CGMI performs a wide range of investment banking and other services for various clients, and CGMI client holdings will include the securities of issuers for whom CGMI performs investment banking and other services. For example, CGMI client holdings include ETFs where CGMI or its affiliates provide services as administrator, trustee and custodian. CGMI client holdings also include securities in which CGMI makes a market or in which CGMI, its officers or employees have positions. CGMI and its affiliates receive compensation and fees in connection with the provision of the foregoing services. As part of an overall internal compliance program, CGMI has adopted policies and procedures imposing certain conditions and restrictions on transactions for CGMI’s own account or the accounts of its employees. Such policies and procedures are designed to prevent, among other things, any improper or abusive conduct when conflicts of interest exist for a customer or client. In addition, Citibank, an affiliate of CGMI, serves as an investment manager and custodian for certain Programs described in this brochure. Please see “Item 4.A.4–Types of Advisory Services Offered” for more information on CIM managed strategies available in MACS, Fiduciary Services Program and the Advisory Portfolios Program. In serving as a custodian, Citibank utilizes certain back office services of its affiliates. Citibank is a “qualified custodian” within the meaning of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Advisers Act, also known as the “Custody Rule.” Please see “Item 4.A.3–Clearing and Custody Services” for more information on custody. Lending Against Advisory Accounts The Citibank Lending Program. CPB, WaW and CPII clients who have an advisory account with CGMI may, at their election, borrow funds from Citibank or its affiliates. Such loans may be purpose or non-purpose loans. Purpose loans may be used to purchase, trade or carry securities. A “purpose credit” line to purchase securities in an advisory account may be used as a more aggressive, higher cost and higher risk approach to pursuing a client’s investment objectives. Non-purpose loans or a non-purpose credit line may not be used to purchase, trade or carry securities and may be used for other liquidity needs such as personal expenses, real estate transactions, or other needs. This commercial lending relationship with a client may from time to time include, but not be limited to, a loan, line of credit, or borrowing in connection with off-exchange market (commonly referred to as over-the counter or OTC) derivatives trading, via the execution of an ISDA Master Agreement and related Credit Support Annex or other security agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to secure the repayment of the loan and payment of any such lending, including interest due on the lending, Citibank or its affiliates will treat assets in the advisory account as collateral to support the loan (the “Lending Program”). CPB and WaW clients may use borrowed funds as they see fit, including to fund investments in their advisory accounts (depending on whether the loans are purpose or non-purpose loans). CPB, WaW and CPII clients are responsible to repay all funds they borrow from Citibank or its affiliates. If there is a debit in a client’s account after a margin call or the sale of assets, the client is responsible to cover the shortfall. 77 Risks of Participating in the Lending Program for Purpose Credit and Conflicts of Interest. Participation in the Lending Program carries significant risks and presents conflicts of interest for CGMI and Citibank. The decision to use leverage in a client account (purpose credit) rests with the client and should be made only if the client understands the risks of margin borrowing, the impact of the use of borrowed funds on an account, and how the use of margin can affect the client’s ability to achieve the client’s investment objectives. • Borrowing to Invest Increases Risk of Loss. Positive or negative performance of a leveraged account, net of interest charges and other account fees, will be enhanced by virtue of using borrowed money. Gains or losses in a leveraged account relative to the net value of the account will be greater than would be the case with an unleveraged account. As a result, borrowing money to invest creates a greater degree of risk of loss than investments in an unleveraged account. • Returns May Be Insufficient to Cover the Cost of Borrowing. Participation in the Lending Program will result in losses to the client if the client invests the proceeds in the advisory account and the revenue or returns from the advisory account are not sufficient to cover the interest Citibank charges on the amount the client borrowed. • Suitable Investments for Borrowed Funds Generally May Be Riskier. CGMI has an incentive to select investments to secure sufficient revenue or returns to cover interest payments on Citibank’s loans. This incentive may cause CGMI to recommend investments for a leveraged account with a greater potential for higher returns, and a corresponding higher potential for volatility and risk of loss, than would be the case in an unleveraged account. Further, in order to preserve sufficient collateral value to support the loan and avoid a margin call, depending upon the client’s leverage, CGMI Financial Advisers may be inclined to invest a leveraged account in more conservative investments, which may result in lower investment performance than more aggressive investments (depending on market conditions). • Performance Reports or Account Statements Will Not Show the Effect of Leverage. Reports or account statements showing investment performance of any advisory account will not reflect the cost or effect of leverage on the performance of any investment funded with borrowed money from Citibank or from any third party. The use of leverage to conduct investment activity increases client’s exposure to risk. Using leverage increases volatility and therefore small movements in notional value may materially impair the value of the investment. Further, the cost of leverage will reduce income and gains on investments funded with loan proceeds. Conflicts of Interest – Purpose and Non-Purpose Loans: CGMI and its personnel have a financial incentive to recommend participation in the Lending Program. Participation in the (purpose or non-purpose) Lending Program benefits CGMI and/or its employees. Since CGMI receives advisory fees based on the level of assets in an account, CGMI receives higher fees from clients that increase the size of their accounts through participation in the Lending Program (purpose credit). CGMI and its employees also have an incentive to recommend that a client borrow against advisory assets instead of selling assets to raise cash for purposes other than investment (non-purpose credit), because the loan allows retention of assets on which advisory fees are paid. Citibank also collects interest from clients who participate in the Lending Program. Since participation in the Lending Program will result in interest payments to an affiliate and/or increased (or retained) advisory fees to CGMI, CGMI and/or its employees have a financial incentive to recommend that advisory clients participate in the Lending Program. • CGMI Will Puts Its Affiliate’s Interest as a Creditor First. As a client’s investment adviser, CGMI is required to put a client’s interests ahead of the interests of CGMI and its employees. If a client participates in the Lending Program, however, Citibank will have a proprietary interest in the client’s advisory account assets as a result of the 78 pledging of the assets for the loan and interest due, and will be the client’s creditor. As an affiliate of the client’s creditor, CGMI’s duty to act in the client’s best interest will conflict with CGMI’s incentive to act in the best interest of Citibank, its affiliate. Any determination by CGMI to act on behalf of Citibank’s interests may be adverse to the client’s interests. • Clients May Be Required to Deposit Additional Amounts in Client Accounts to Cover Losses. If the assets in a client’s advisory account lose value, the value of the collateral supporting the client’s loan and interest payments also decreases. If this happens, Citibank will ask the client to meet collateral obligations (a “margin call”). To maintain adequate collateral, the client may need to deposit additional assets into the advisory account. If the client is unable or unwilling to deposit additional amounts, Citibank may sell or assign assets in the client’s advisory account to repay the loan. • The Margin Call Process May Inflict Substantial Harm to the Client’s Account. During the margin call process, CGMI and/or Citibank will act in its/their sole discretion to protect its/their interests and may act in a manner that is not in the client’s best interests. CGMI and/or Citibank may sell assets in the client’s account without notifying the client, and the client’s consent is not required for CGMI and/or Citibank to sell assets. CGMI and/or Citibank may decide, in its/their sole discretion, which assets to sell and the timing and venue of the sales. In these circumstances, securities often are sold into a market that is declining, so the prices obtained for the securities may be less than favorable and losses will be realized. • CGMI Will Not Act as Investment Adviser to the Client With Respect to the Liquidation of Securities Held in an Account to Meet a Margin Call. As a result of margin sales, clients may be left with an account that has more concentrated positions, including in illiquid securities, than would be the case if CGMI were managing the sales of securities to protect the interests of the client rather than Citibank’s interests as lender. The resulting account investments may not be suitable for the client or otherwise meet the requirements for participation in the Program, and the account may be terminated from the Program as a result. Citibank may, at any time and without notice, increase margin requirements for the Lending Program or change terms of the Lending Program. Clients will receive a separate margin disclosure document, which they should read carefully and retain for future reference. Non-Purpose Loans through Clearing Firm. CPWM clients are eligible to obtain loans on a non- purpose basis, from Clearing Firm, secured by the pledge of eligible cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held in the client’s account (such loans referred to as “Non-Purpose Loans”). A Non-Purpose Loan may be used for any purpose except to purchase securities or to refinance a loan that was used to purchase securities. Securities serving as Non-Purpose Loan collateral can only be sold or transferred from a client’s CGMI account in accordance with the terms of the client’s loan documents. These Non-Purpose Loans are separate relationships from an investment advisory relationship. CGMI earns fees and other income for services provided in connection with the Non-Purpose Loans, which are in addition to the asset-based fee that CGMI earns through the Program for managing the collateral securing the Non- Purpose Loans. Clients that obtain Non-Purpose Loans are charged an interest rate on the amount of money borrowed. The interest rate for clients and how the charge is calculated are described in the applicable loan documents and disclosures. The interest rate charged to CGMI by Pershing is based on the prevailing Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 1.04%. CGMI causes Clearing Firm to mark up the interest rate charged to clients for Non-Purpose Loans and receives a portion of the interest charged on Non-Purpose Loans, as compensation for servicing such loans. This mark-up historically has varied but has been up to 3.75% of the total interest rate charged(this is not a cap, however). Interest paid on these loans is thus shared by Pershing 79 and CGMI. Note that registered representatives receive a portion of, or credit for, interest paid on such loan. CGMI seeks to ensure that the total interest rate charged to clients for Non- Purpose Loans, including payment to both Pershing and CGMI, is competitive with margin loan rates charged in the market. This additional income earned by CGMI and its registered representatives through Non-Purpose Loans represents a conflict of interest and creates a financial incentive to encourage brokerage customers to borrow against assets in Program accounts. CGMI and its registered representatives benefit if a client draws down on their loan to meet liquidity needs rather than sell securities or other investments in their Program accounts, which would reduce the CGMI Financial Adviser’s advisory fee. A draw down would preserve the CGMI Financial Adviser’s advisory fee revenue and may generate additional loan-related compensation for the CGMI Financial Adviser. It also incentivizes CGMI to continue to use Pershing as the clearing firm for the Programs. Before taking out a Non-Purpose Loan, the client should consider (i) the alternative of liquidating part of the account and (ii) the possibility that the investment return earned on the collateral can be lower than the interest paid on the Non-Purpose Loan (especially, if the collateral is a low-producing asset class). The client should be aware that CGMI or Clearing Firm, acting as client’s creditor, will have the authority to liquidate all or part of the account at any time to repay any portion of the Non-Purpose Loan, even if the timing of the liquidation will be disadvantageous to the client. CGMI, through Clearing Firm, does not provide margin loans for managed accounts that may increase performance (with the resulting increased risk of loss) of a client’s Program account. Additionally, CGMI will have an interest in preserving the value of the collateral, which will present a conflict of interest in connection with its management of the account. More detailed information about Non-Purpose Loans is provided to clients in the Regulation BI Disclosure Statement and Related Information for Retirement Accounts and is available at https://www.citi.com/investorinfo/. Unaffiliated Lenders. CGMI clients also may obtain loans secured by the assets in their Program accounts from unaffiliated lenders. The terms and conditions of such loans are determined by the unaffiliated lender and could be more favorable than those offered by CGMI or Pershing. To be used as collateral, assets held in a CGMI Program account must be subject to a control agreement among CGMI, the Clearing Firm, the borrower and the lender. The control agreement restricts the movement of the collateral. The collateral will remain restricted until the borrower and the lender instruct otherwise. You should be aware that CGMI and the Clearing Firm, acting on instructions provided by the lender, will have the authority to liquidate all or part of the account at any time to repay any portion of the loan, even if the timing of the liquidation will be disadvantageous to you. CGMI does not charge fees for its services under such a control agreement. Acting as Adviser to Funds CGMI affiliates act as an administrator for a wide range of open-end and closed-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. CGMI affiliates serve as an administrator, trustee and custodian to ETFs and mutual funds. CGMI affiliates also serve as investment advisers to a number of investment funds domiciled and sold outside the United States. In addition, CGMI affiliates act as investment adviser to unregistered investment funds (including hedge “funds of funds”). B.1. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading Employee Personal Trading and Fiduciary Code of Ethics Employees and certain other persons who perform services that support the investment advisory business of CGMI are bound by the Personal Trading and Investment Policy (“PTIP Policy”) and the Fiduciary Code of Ethics (“Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics is designed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements including Rule 204A-1. 80 Both the PTIP Policy and the Code of Ethics govern the trading of employees who support the investment advisory business of CGMI and the family members’ or related persons’ accounts over which the employee has investment discretion. Certain representatives within CGMI are considered covered persons under the PTIP Policy. The PTIP Policy governs the manner in which covered persons’ trading account information is made available to the firm’s compliance department and defines instances where pre-clearance or supervisory pre-approval may be appropriate. Covered persons are subject to a number of restrictions including: 1) prohibition on conduct of personal trades in securities for which they are in possession of material, non-public information; 2) prohibition on securities noted on the firm’s restricted list; and 3) prohibition on trading in securities where new and material research has been published. Other restrictions exist with respect to “new issue”/public offerings and trading of Citigroup shares. Covered persons are further prohibited from engaging in market timing strategies with respect to mutual fund transactions in covered accounts. Certain supervisory staff are responsible for reviewing all personal trading activity of their covered employees for indications of improper trading activity and insider trading. When CGMI personnel purchase or sell certain securities for their own accounts on the same day that transactions in these securities are effected for client accounts, the price paid or realized by advisory personnel generally may not be more advantageous than the price at which the client transactions are effected. Managed accounts in which CGMI personnel have an interest may be aggregated with orders for other accounts so long as their accounts are treated in the same manner as other accounts. The Code of Ethics describes the standards of business conduct for CGMI’s investment advisory business, including the fiduciary obligations owed to clients and the obligation to comply with applicable laws. The Code of Ethics incorporates and is supplemented by other Citi policies and procedures, including policies and procedures designed to protect the flow of material non- public information and the confidentiality of client information and those imposing personal trading and investment restrictions, maintenance of personal securities trading accounts at CGMI, and reporting of personal securities holdings and transactions. The purposes of the Code of Ethics and the related policies and procedures include minimizing conflicts of interest between employees and investment advisory clients and assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Each person covered under the Code of Ethics receives a copy of the Code of Ethics upon being designated as a covered person and annually thereafter. They must sign an attestation that indicates that they have read and understand such Code of Ethics. In conjunction with this attestation, all covered persons are required to report any violation or potential violation of which they might become aware. A copy of CGMI’s Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client who mails a written request to: Citigroup Global Markets Inc. 153 East 53rd Street, 24th Floor New York, NY 10022 Attention: Dana L. Platt, Chief Compliance Officer, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Investment Adviser Participation and Interest in Client Transactions CGMI or an affiliate could recommend securities in which CGMI or such affiliate directly or indirectly has a financial interest, and CGMI or an affiliate can also buy and sell securities that are recommended to clients for purchase and sale. Thus, a client can hold securities in which CGMI or an affiliate makes a market or in which CGMI or an affiliate, or officers or employees of CGMI or such affiliate also have positions. CGMI also provides advice and takes action in 81 performing its duties to certain Program clients which differs from advice given, or the timing and nature of action taken, for other clients’ accounts. Moreover, CGMI and its affiliates advise or take action for themselves differently than for CGMI clients. In addition, CGMI and its affiliates and employees, including CGMI financial advisers, invest with the investment managers that participate in the Programs. From time to time, CGMI imposes restrictions to address the potential for self-dealing by CGMI and conflicts of interest that arise in connection with CGMI’s broker-dealer and investment banking businesses. CGMI has adopted various procedures to guard against insider trading that include an “Information Barrier” procedure, pursuant to which information known within one area of CGMI (e.g., investment banking) is not permitted to be distributed to other areas (e.g., investment advisory), and use of a restricted list and various other monitoring lists. These investment banking or other activities will from time to time compel CGMI or its affiliates to forgo trading in the securities of companies with which these relationships exist. This has the potential to adversely impact the investment performance of a client’s account. Principal Transactions CGMI generally does not act as principal in executing trades in connection with the Programs (except for CES as described below), even if the terms and conditions of the Programs permit CGMI to act as principal under certain circumstances. If CGMI receives trade orders for securities traded in the dealer markets, it normally executes those orders as agent through a dealer unaffiliated with CGMI. Although CGMI receives no commissions or other compensation in connection with such trades, dealers executing such trades may include a commission, markup (on securities it sells) markdown (on securities it buys) or a spread (the difference between the price it will buy or “bid” for the security and the price at which it will sell or “ask” for the security) in the net price at which the trades are executed, and the client will bear any such transaction costs. Clients should be aware that in some cases it will be disadvantageous not to trade on a principal basis with CGMI to the extent that CGMI otherwise would provide a price more favorable than the price available from an unaffiliated dealer or have inventory for sale not available through an unaffiliated dealer. In CES, CGMI may execute trades as principal in orders received from unaffiliated investment managers that manage accounts through CES. This will result in CGMI realizing customary dealer profits or losses on the trades. Any profits or losses CGMI realizes on principal trades are separate from and additional to the asset-based fees that CGMI earns as the sponsor of CES. As a result, CGMI has an incentive to recommend investment managers who tend to execute trades through CGMI. CGMI addresses this conflict by providing appropriate disclosure to clients. Investment managers in CES also may direct principal trades to dealers unaffiliated with CGMI. In these circumstances, the dealer to which the trade is directed will realize a profit or loss on each trade and may also charge a mark-up or mark-down. Agency Cross Transactions Agency cross transactions (i.e., transactions in which CGMI or an affiliate acts as broker for the parties on both sides of the transaction) may be effected for client accounts to the extent permitted by law. CGMI may receive compensation from parties on both sides of such transactions (the amount of which vary) and in that case, CGMI will have a conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities. Any compensation CGMI receives in connection with agency cross transactions will be in addition to the asset-based fee that the clients pays CGMI for its participation in a Program. In the Program Agreements, clients generally consent to and authorize CGMI to engage in agency cross transactions for the client’s account, except where prohibited by law. Client consent to agency cross transactions may be revoked at any time by written notice to CGMI. 82 B.2. Review of Accounts Accounts are generally monitored on an on-going basis by the investment manager or CGMI (including by financial advisers subject to supervision, either by the branch or a supervisory principal), the FOG, review committees and other units which vary depending upon the Program. The investment manager’s review of discretionary accounts includes a review of each purchase or sale, as well as monthly position reports. Ongoing supervisory reviews of accounts typically include reviewing Program accounts representing certain risk levels or accounts with little or no trading activity. Certain accounts may also be reviewed by appropriate personnel on other than an ongoing or periodic basis. Among the factors that might trigger such a review are changes in market conditions, securities positions and/or the client’s investment objective or risk tolerance; a request by the client for a meeting or the occurrence of such meeting; client complaints; concerns expressed by an adviser’s manager(s) or Compliance; and/or the application of CGMI internal policies. Clients whose assets are held in custody with Clearing Firm also periodically receive a written Performance Review if requested by the client, which is a statistical review and analysis of the account. Clients whose assets are not held in custody with Clearing Firm also may obtain a Performance Review, if requested by the client. B.3. Client Referrals and Other Compensation CGMI, its Affiliates and its Employees Receive Additional Compensation from the Investment Managers They Recommend We receive marketing and training support payments, conference subsidies, and other types of financial and non-financial compensation and incentives from certain mutual fund companies, insurance and annuity companies and other investment product sponsors, distributors, investment advisers, broker-dealers and other vendors to support the sale of their products and services to our clients. These third parties pay vendors directly for these services on our behalf. These payments sometimes include reimbursement for our participation in sales meetings, seminars and conferences held in the normal course of business. These payments also include reimbursements for costs and expenses incurred by us in sponsoring conferences, meetings and similar activities. We receive these payments in connection with our overall relationship with the relevant third party, and the payments are not dependent on or related to the amount of assets invested in any individual account. The providers independently decide what they will spend on these types of activities and do not share this information with us, subject to regulatory guidelines and our policies. The amount of any expense reimbursement or payment to us is dependent on which activities we participate in or sponsor, the amount of that participation, prior sales and asset levels and other factors, and is determined by the provider. We coordinate with certain product sponsors in developing marketing, training and educational plans and programs, and this coordination might be greater with some sponsors than others, depending on relative size, quality and breadth of product offerings, client interest and other relevant factors. Representatives of approved sponsors—whether sponsors remit these payments or not—are typically provided access to our branch offices and financial advisers for educational, marketing and other promotional efforts subject to the discretion of our managers. Although all approved sponsors are provided with such access, some sponsors devote more staff or resources to these activities and therefore have enhanced opportunities to promote their products to financial advisers. These enhanced opportunities could, in turn, lead financial advisers to focus on those products when recommending investments to clients over products from sponsors that do not commit similar resources to educational, marketing and other promotional efforts. 83 CGMI and its affiliates have trading, investment banking, prime brokerage, fund administrator, trustee, custody, and other business relationships with many investment managers. In some cases, CGMI has more than one business relationship with an investment manager. In addition, some CGMI financial advisers receive financial benefits from investment managers in the form of compensation for trade executions for the accounts of investment managers or their clients, or through their referrals of brokerage or investment advisory accounts to CGMI financial advisers. In determining an investment manager’s eligibility for the Programs, CGMI does not consider the extent to which an investment manager directs or is expected to direct trades to CGMI for execution, including whether such investment manager is a prime brokerage client of CGMI or its affiliates. Absent a client’s direction to the contrary, each investment manager has discretion to direct trades to the broker-dealers of its choosing; however, in doing so, an investment manager is obligated at all times to seek best execution. CGMI and Citibank have entered into agreements under which CGMI shares revenue with Citibank for referring clients to CGMI, among other services. Under CGMI’s agreements with Citibank, the revenue that CGMI shares with Citibank is based on the revenue that CGMI earns from providing products or services to referred clients. Citibank also compensates certain of its representatives based on business such representatives refer to CGMI. Similarly, CGMI financial advisers refer clients to affiliates, including Citibank, for financial products and services that they provide. These arrangements present conflicts of interest because CGMI, Citibank, and their respective representatives, have a financial incentive to refer clients for product and services that provide CGMI, Citibank and their affiliates additional compensation. Gifts, Gratuities and Nonmonetary Compensation From time to time, certain third parties (such as investment product distributors and providers, mutual fund companies, investment advisers, insurance and annuity companies, broker-dealers, wholesalers, etc.) provide financial advisers or CGMI or its affiliates with non-monetary gifts and gratuities, such as promotional items (e.g., coffee mugs, calendars or gift baskets), meals, invitations to events, and access to certain industry-related conferences or other events. CGMI has implemented policies and procedures intended to ensure that we avoid actual or perceived conflicts when giving or receiving gifts and entertainment from relevant parties by limiting the maximum value that any individual is permitted to receive in any calendar year. Gifts and entertainment must be appropriate, customary and reasonable and clearly not meant to influence CGMI business or serve as a “quid pro quo” for it to be accepted. Compensation from Funds CGMI seeks to use the lowest cost available share class of mutual funds used in its advisory Programs. However, outside the Programs, certain mutual funds available through the Programs offer share classes used outside the Programs that provide, and such mutual funds’ affiliates provide, compensation to CGMI or its affiliates in the form of 12b-1 or distribution fees, administrative fees, transfer agency fees, revenue sharing compensation, record keeping fees, shareholder servicing fees or any other fund related fees. Except as described below regarding money market mutual funds, in each of these Programs, CGMI or its affiliates will not seek or retain any compensation from participating mutual funds and, if received, will credit the client’s account in the amount of any such compensation as soon as possible. . Any compensation credited to a client’s account, including retirement accounts, will be treated as additional income and reported as such. Where Citibank, as the custodian of a client’s mutual fund investments held outside of a Program, or CGMI, acting as broker, receives shareholder service fees, recordkeeping services 84 fees, sub-transfer agency or similar fees from participating mutual funds, Citibank/CGMI will retain such fees. Where Clearing Firm, as the custodian of a client’s mutual fund investments, receives shareholder service fees, recordkeeping services fees, sub-transfer agency or similar fees from participating mutual funds, Clearing Firm will retain such fees. Conflicts of Interest Pertaining to Cash Sweep Options Clients may elect to have cash balances in an account automatically invested or “swept” into an eligible money market mutual fund (each, a “Sweep Fund”). Clients who elect to have assets swept into a Sweep Fund authorize CGMI each business day to automatically invest all cash balances in the account in excess of $0.01 into the designated Sweep Fund. In Programs where CGMI has discretion, the client authorizes CGMI or the client’s CGMI financial adviser to select the Sweep Fund for the account in the event that the client itself has not selected a Sweep Fund. Clients who elect affirmatively not to use any of the available cash sweep options can be credited interest on cash by Clearing Firm at a rate determined by Clearing Firm. To the extent that Clearing Firm chooses to pay interest by setting this rate above zero, which it may do at any time, CGMI will earn a share (which can be up to 100%) of the revenue generated by client deposits, which could result in clients earning no interest. CGMI receives compensation from Sweep Funds and Citibank’s Bank Deposit Program (“BDP”) in connection with Program accounts in limited circumstances and for brief periods of time, relating to account conversions. When a client converts an existing CGMI brokerage account to a Program account, CGMI, its affiliates, or Clearing Firm, as applicable, will continue to collect compensation generated by the account’s existing cash sweep option until the account conversion process is completed. BDP is no longer offered as a cash sweep option to clients. However, clients who participate temporarily in BDP (in the circumstances described above) authorize CGMI each business day to automatically invest all cash balances in the account in excess of $0.01 into a deposit account at one or more FDIC insured depository institutions, including Citibank (“Program Banks”). Each Program Bank pays an interest rate equal to a percentage of the average daily deposit balance in your deposit account at the Program Bank. The interest rate is variable and will be higher or lower based upon prevailing economic and market conditions. The interest revenue is paid to Clearing Firm and IntraFi Network LLC, the firm responsible for administering the BDP program (“IntraFi”), by the Program Banks, and shared with CGMI after the deduction of service fees that compensate IntraFi and Clearing Firm for administering BDP and making the BDP program available to CGMI. The amount of fees and proceeds retained by IntraFi, Clearing Firm and CGMI will affect the interest rate available to clients on balances held in the BDP program and can result in no interest being paid to client accounts. CGMI determines the interest rate to be paid to clients. Interest paid to client deposit accounts by the Program Banks is tiered (“Interest Rate Tiers”) based on the value of eligible assets in your CGMI accounts. Generally, the deposit account balances of clients in higher Interest Rate Tiers receive higher interest than clients in lower Interest Rate Tiers. The amount of interest rate proceeds received by CGMI can exceed the amount paid to clients as interest on client deposit accounts held at that Program Bank. Citigroup, CGMI, Clearing Firm and their affiliates are not responsible for any insured or uninsured portion of the client’s deposits at any of the Program Banks. More detailed information about the BDP is provided to clients in the Bank Deposit Program Disclosure Statement and is available at https://www.citi.com/investorinfo. For Sweep Funds, prior to conversion, CGMI receives revenue sharing payments from Clearing Firm for distribution assistance at an annual rate of up to 0.72% of assets invested in a fund family. The amount of compensation payable by Sweep Funds and their affiliates changes from time to time. For BDP, in addition to the compensation described above, Citibank has the opportunity to earn income on BDP assets through lending activity, and that income usually is 85 significantly greater than the asset-based fees earned by CGMI on cash balances invested in Sweep Funds. The additional revenue received by CGMI from Sweep Funds and BDP during the account conversion process provides a financial benefit to CGMI and creates an incentive to continue to use Pershing as the clearing firm for the Programs. CGMI mitigates this conflict by only allowing Sweep Funds in Program accounts (following conversion) that do not pay distribution assistance. For Programs in which client assets are held in custody by Clearing Firm, the asset-based fee charged in connection with a Program will be applied to cash balances in a client’s account, including assets invested in a Sweep Fund or through BDP. Clients should understand that they will experience negative performance on the cash portion of their accounts if the applicable asset-based fee charged in respect of the cash is higher than the return the client receives from the cash sweep vehicle (i.e., the Sweep Fund or BDP). At times, investment managers or CGMI will believe that it is in a client’s interest to maintain assets in cash or cash equivalents (including money market mutual funds), particularly for defensive purposes in volatile markets. The BDP arrangements and compensation from money market mutual funds (and their affiliates) described above represent a conflict of interest and create an incentive for CGMI to recommend or select investment managers or investment strategies that favor cash balances. Clients consent to this conflict of interest in their Program Agreements. CGMI financial advisers do not receive any of the BDP related income or compensation from money market mutual funds (and their affiliates) described above. Payments for Order Flow CGMI has entered into certain arrangements with Clearing Firm to route most retail customer orders in equity securities, fixed income securities and exchange-traded options to Clearing Firm. CGMI does not receive payment for order flow for these orders. As discussed above, however, CGMI receives financial benefits from its relationship with Clearing Firm. CGMI and Affiliates Maintain Business Relationships with Companies that May Be Selected or Recommended for Client’s Portfolio Investment recommendations made through the Programs may be based in large measure on the fundamental research opinions of CGMI. CGMI does and seeks to do business with companies covered by its research and, as a result, CGMI has a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of its research reports. If such objectivity is affected, it might impact the underlying fundamental opinion upon which certain investment recommendations through the Program are made. In addition, CGMI usually provides bids and offers and may act as principal market maker in connection with transactions in the same securities that may appear in a client’s portfolio. Also, CGMI client portfolios may include securities in which CGMI, its officers or employees have positions. CGMI is a regular issuer of traded financial instruments linked to securities that may be purchased. CGMI may hold a trading position (long or short) in the shares of the securities in a client’s portfolio or in the shares of companies subject to its research. Furthermore, employees and officers of Citigroup and its affiliates have family and other relationships with individuals or entities that CGMI and its affiliates engage in transactions with, including relationships with individuals employed by the sponsors of funds we include on our platform. Such relationships present conflicts of interest for CGMI and its affiliates. CGMI mitigates these conflicts by requiring materially conflicted individuals to recuse themselves from the approval of such funds and transactions. As noted above, CGMI uses several methods to evaluate whether an unaffiliated investment manager or investment product should participate (or should continue to participate) in the Programs. See “Item 6– Research in Advisory Programs”. 86 CGMI and its affiliates provide a variety of services for various clients, including issuers of securities that CGMI recommends for purchase or sale by clients. CGMI performs a wide range of investment banking and other services for various clients, and it is likely that CGMI client holdings will include the securities of issuers for whom CGMI performs investment banking and other services. For example, CGMI client holdings include ETFs where CGMI’s affiliate provides services as administrator, trustee and custodian. CGMI and its affiliates receive compensation and fees in connection with the provision of the foregoing services. As part of an overall internal compliance Program, CGMI has adopted policies and procedures imposing certain conditions and restrictions on transactions for CGMI’s own account or the accounts of its employees. Such policies and procedures are designed to prevent, among other things, any improper or abusive conduct when conflicts of interest exist with a customer or client. CGMI can use client lists when soliciting new clients but such list will not include any existing clients who requested confidentiality. Ownership Interests in Trading Venues In connection with the services provided to our clients, CGMI or an affiliate may execute trades through certain electronic communication networks, alternative trading systems and similar execution or trading venues in which an affiliated business has an ownership interest. Our affiliate receives compensation and economic benefits due to its ownership interest for trades executed through such a trading venue. The compensation received is based on a number of factors, such as the number of total trades executed through the trading venue and the profitability of the trading venue, and is not directly related to individual trades made on behalf of a client. In certain instances, we may receive a reduction in the cost of executing a trade through a trading venue or a rebate of the cost. While financial advisers do not receive additional compensation as a result of these ownership interests, we have an incentive to encourage the use of the trading venues in which we hold an interest. Clearinghouse Revenue In connection with the services provided to our clients, CGMI or an affiliate may from time to time use a clearinghouse for certain types of transactions entered into on behalf of a client. For example, transactions in options may use a clearinghouse. CGMI or an affiliate may have an agreement with, or an ownership interest in, a clearinghouse. In certain circumstances, we receive compensation or an economic benefit for trades cleared through such a clearinghouse due to our ownership interest or agreement with the clearinghouse. The compensation received generally is based on formulas that take into account a number of factors, such as the number of total trades cleared by the clearinghouse and the clearinghouse’s profitability, and is not directly related to any fees paid by a client for clearing with the particular clearinghouse. In certain instances, CGMI may receive a reduction in the cost of clearing transactions through the clearinghouse or a rebate of the cost, the amount of which may be based, in part, on the number of transactions entered into by CGMI or its affiliate with that clearinghouse. While financial advisers do not receive additional compensation as a result of these ownership interests, we have an incentive to encourage the use of the trading venues in which we hold an interest or with which we have an agreement. Payment of Compensation to Third Parties for Client Referrals From time to time, CGMI makes cash payments for client referrals to persons other than CGMI’s employees and our affiliates pursuant to applicable laws, including Rule 206(4)-1 under the Advisers Act. These payments may differ and are negotiated based on a range of factors, including but not limited to, target markets, nature and size of potential client relationships, quality of service and industry reputation. In general, a referrer will be compensated based on a fixed periodic fee that is not contingent upon any person referred by such referrer becoming a client of CGMI. These arrangements present conflicts of interest. In particular, the arrangements incentivize a referrer to refer a client to CGMI even though another investment 87 adviser’s services may be equally or more appropriate for the client’s needs. CGMI addresses these conflicts through disclosure and not tying the compensation paid to a referrer to whether any person referred becomes a client of CGMI. B.4. Financial Information CGMI does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Therefore, CGMI has not included a balance sheet for its most recent fiscal year. CGMI is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability to meet its contractual commitments to clients, nor has CGMI been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. B.5. Other Information CGMI has adopted an error policy aimed at ensuring the prompt and proper detection, reporting and correction of errors involving the accounts of CGMI clients. A trade error is deemed to have occurred when CGMI has: (i) purchased or sold an incorrect financial instrument in a client account; (ii) purchased or sold an incorrect amount of a financial instrument in a client account; (iii) purchased or sold an unauthorized or client restricted security in a client account; (iv) not entered an order for a client account that should have been entered; (v) entered an order for a client account more than once when it should have been entered once (duplicate trade); (vi) misallocated a trade in one or multiple client accounts; or (vii) made an operational mistake that requires market action to correct. The requirements of the error policy apply to the extent that CGMI and/or its affiliates has control of resolving errors for client accounts. To correct a trading error, CGMI generally effects a trade with a client using an error account in order to place the client in the position the client would have been in if the error had not occurred. CGMI will receive no additional compensation and no other benefits from such trade. For all Programs, gains from trading errors corrected after settlement date are not retained by CGMI and are credited to the client’s account at no expense to the client. Losses arising from pre- or post-settlement error corrections are closed out at no expense to the client. Losses arising from post-settlement error corrections in retirement accounts are credited to the client’s account with interest at the federal tax penalty rate. If an investment manager erroneously purchases a particular security for a client account and the error is discovered prior to settlement of the transaction, then, the erroneously purchased security generally will be transferred to a separate CGMI error account at no cost to the client. For all Programs, gains from trading errors attributable to an investment manager that are corrected prior to settlement date are credited against investment manager losses resulting from errors on a quarterly basis. At the end of each quarter, net gains, if any, from trading errors attributable to an investment manager that are corrected prior to settlement are remitted as a donation to a charity. The error policy applies with equal force when CGMI acts as investment manager and overlay manager. 88

Introduction This brochure provides information about CGMI and the investment advisory services it provides to clients of Citi Personal Wealth Management (“CPWM”) that enroll in the Citi Wealth Builder Program (“CWB”) or the Citi Wealth Builder Plus Program (“CWB Plus” and together with CWB, the “Program”). CPWM is a business unit of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), and CGMI is a subsidiary of Citigroup. CGMI is registered as an investment adviser and a broker-dealer with the SEC. CGMI will serve as the client’s investment adviser in connection with the Program. CGMI may determine to delegate certain of the services described below to one or more of its affiliates and/or third parties. Clients should read and consider carefully the information contained in this brochure. While CGMI believes that its professional investment advice can benefit many clients, there is no assurance that the objectives of any client in the Program will be achieved. A.2. Description of the Citi Wealth Builder Program; CGMI’s Advisory Services The Program The Program provides automated, “robo”-advisory services. In the Program, a client’s assets will be invested according to defined asset allocation models (each, a “Model”) that are proposed based on the client’s investment objectives and investment risk profile. Pershing LLC (together with certain of its affiliates, “Pershing” or “Clearing Firm”) provides custody and clearing services for client accounts and also provides trade execution and related services to implement the investments proposed by the Models. In addition to the robo-advisory services provided in CWB, clients enrolled in CWB Plus also have access to a dedicated group of CGMI representatives available to offer advice and guidance as part of CWB Plus (“Program Advisors”) and a financial planning service (the “Planning Service”) to develop a limited purpose, goal-specific financial plan (a “Plan”). To enroll in the Program, clients must first enter into a Program agreement (a “Program Agreement”) with CGMI. In the Program Agreement, the client appoints CGMI to act as the client’s investment adviser and agent and to provide certain services related to the Program. Subject to meeting the minimum account requirement, a CWB client may change from CWB to CWB Plus by closing the client’s CWB account and opening a new CWB Plus account. Investments made through the Program are inherently speculative and involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that the Program or any investment will achieve its objectives or that losses will be avoided. The past performance of an investment made through the Program is not indicative of future performance. Neither CGMI nor any of its affiliates makes any representations or warranties in this brochure with respect to the present or future level of risk or volatility in the Program or any investment, or the Program’s or any investment’s future performance or activities. 4 Questionnaire In connection with entering into a Program Agreement, the client completes an application (the “Application”), which includes a questionnaire (the “Questionnaire”) designed to elicit information about the client’s investment risk profile, investment objectives, anticipated investment time horizon, and the client’s preference regarding investment style (e.g., track an index versus integrate sustainability criteria versus incorporate active management). The Application proposes a Model based on the client’s answers to the Questionnaire. Clients enrolling in CWB Plus must consult with a Program Advisor to complete the Application process. CWB Plus clients should be prepared to engage in an annual review of their respective CWB account, including its overall performance, progress toward investment goals, and information submitted through the Application, including, but not limited to, the client’s responses in the Application to risk tolerance questions and investment objectives. An annual review can be an opportunity for clients to ensure that such information is up to date, complete and accurate and that client’s selected Models and management styles reflect client’s current financial status and account objectives. In addition to the Program’s online access for such review and adjustment of client information, choices, and objectives, CWB Plus clients can schedule an appointment for a review with a Program Advisor. From time to time and at their discretion, Program Advisors also may invite CWB Plus clients to schedule an appointment to engage in a review. Client is solely responsible for providing accurate information and updating the Program through the Application or as otherwise directed by us for any changes or adjustments. Client’s Program Agreement may be subject to termination, at our sole discretion, if client is not engaged in an annual or other review, whether requested or not, in a manner deemed acceptable by us. Models The Models in the Program have different investment objectives and investment strategies. • The “Active Models” (also referred to as “Dynamic” Models (the “Active Models”)) consist of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and mutual funds that incorporate active portfolio management. • The “ESG Models” (also referred to as “Sustainable” Models (the “ESG Models”)) consist of ETFs that are designed, in part, with consideration of sustainable investing criteria, which is the umbrella term for the various approaches to investing that seek to align with environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) principles. • The “Index Models” (also referred to as “Essentials” Models (the “Index Models”)) consist of ETFs that are passively managed to track the investment results of securities indices. All Models include an allocation to cash and cash equivalents. . The Models are not designed to provide clients with a comprehensive financial plan. The type of Model proposed for the Program depends on the investment strategy preference expressed by client in the Application. Except as described below, a client’s investment objectives and investment profile, including investment preferences, risk tolerance and desired investment amount, may be updated in the Application at any time, which may result in a different Model being proposed. Client should consider potential adverse tax consequences before electing to switch Models. 5 Citi Investment Management (“CIM” or the “Model Provider”) is responsible for developing and maintaining the Models, including setting the asset allocation strategy of the Models offered in the Program, selecting the underlying investment holdings of the Models, and recommending adjustments to the Models from time to time. CIM does not serve as an investment adviser to the clients who participate in the Program. CIM is a business of Citigroup Inc. that operates through CGMI and other Citi affiliates. Pursuant to the Program Agreement, the client authorizes CGMI to direct the purchase and sale of securities for the client’s account in accordance with the Model proposed by the Application (which proposal, in turn, is based on the client’s responses to the Questionnaire). The Model Provider delivers the Model (and any updates to the Model) to CGMI, and CGMI in turn delivers the Model (and any updates to the Model) to Clearing Firm. Upon receipt of the Model, Clearing Firm executes transactions for the client’s account in the proposed securities, subject to any reasonable investment restrictions that the client imposes. The Site CGMI provides investment advice through the Program through an interactive online mobile application or digital platform (the “Site”) provided by CGMI, with additional support from Program Advisors for CWB Plus clients. The Application and Questionnaire are available exclusively on the Site. The method for providing investment advice to clients through the Site may be different from other investment advisory relationships with which they are familiar. Prospective CWB clients must be willing to receive investment advice exclusively through the Site to use the services provided under the Program and must complete the Questionnaire without the guidance of a Program Advisor. Prospective CWB Plus clients must be willing to receive investment advice through the Site platform and by telephone or other means from Program Advisors who are not individually assigned to them. The process used to make investment proposals through the Application may not elicit the same information as a face-to-face interview with a financial advisor. Program Advisors and the Service Team Current and prospective clients of CWB Plus may contact a Program Advisor for advice or guidance during the Application process and throughout the advisory relationship. Program Advisors are part of a dedicated pool of CGMI representatives for CWB Plus but are not individually assigned to clients. During the Application Process, Program Advisors are available to answer general questions about the Models or the Program, but do not provide personalized investment advice. Program Advisors are available by appointment at the telephone number or other means provided on the Site. Program Advisors are not available to CWB clients. All current and prospective clients may contact a customer service representative (also referred to as a “Coach” or “Digital Coach” (collectively, “customer service representative”)) with questions about Site operations and for assistance regarding online access and use of the Site. Customer service representatives may provide information about CGMI advisory programs and brokerage services potentially available to the client and how to connect with a CGMI registered representative. Customer 6 service representatives may provide technical support and certain limited educational and informational materials over the telephone and internet related to clients’ use of the Application, but such support is educational and informational in nature or related to the Program generally or to the technical use of the Application and is not, and should not be construed as, investment advice relating to the Program. Customer service representatives are not Program Advisors and do not provide investment advice. CWB Plus Financial Planning The Planning Service is an ancillary and complimentary financial planning service made available to clients of CWB Plus. A Plan created with the Planning Service is a limited purpose, goal-specific financial plan based exclusively on the information provided by the client when creating the Plan. CWB Plus clients are not eligible to use the Planning Service or create a Plan if they have another financial plan with CGMI that remains in effect or is being implemented through another account with CGMI. For the Planning Service, CGMI will gather certain basic identification and financial data from the client’s bank accounts and relationship(s) and other information at its affiliates including Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”). Clients also may submit account information from external financial institutions. Data, including personal, account, and relationship information, of CWB Plus clients will be shared by Citibank and its affiliates with CGMI notwithstanding any previous “opt-out” by the client restricting Citibank or its affiliates from accessing, sharing or using such information. CWB Plus clients may consult a Program Adviser to change or modify the financial data in the Plan or to submit new or additional information for purposes of developing the Plan. Certain information may be provided through the Site, but clients must consult a Program Advisor to complete a Plan. CGMI’s investment advisory services in respect of the Planning Service are limited solely to the preparation and delivery of a Plan to CWB Plus clients, and each CWB Plus client’s investment advisory relationship with CGMI in respect of the Planning Service ends when CGMI delivers the Plan. Implementation of a delivered Plan is the exclusive responsibility of the client and not of CGMI. Once a Plan is delivered, CGMI has no responsibility to update the Plan or contact the client to update the information used to create the Plan. A Plan developed through the Planning Service will not influence CGMI’s management of the account based on the chosen Model. Information submitted by the CWB Plus client as part of the Planning Service will be maintained separately from information submitted by client through the Questionnaire. Only the information submitted through the Questionnaire will be considered in managing the account. CGMI will not use or consider any information submitted or acquired in connection with the Planning Service in managing the account. Other financial plans or planning services might offer more information or services and some plans or services may be available without enrollment in programs or accounts that have costs or fees (like the Program). Other CGMI accounts or relationships offer financial planning services that are more comprehensive or more extensive than the Plan developed under the Planning Service. Re-balancing 7 The investments in the client’s account and the proportions in which they are held will generally be rebalanced at least once in each calendar year, and may be rebalanced more frequently. Rebalancing will occur periodically (i.e., at our discretion) to align with the information and preferences specified by the client in the Questionnaire and the investment allocations proposed by the Model that the client selects. Any rebalancing transactions will affect the market value of the account, and will also have tax consequences. Evaluation and Selection of Investment Strategies The Application proposes a Model based on the client’s answers to the Questionnaire. The Models offered in the Program are based on investment strategies designed by the Model Provider. Each investment strategy offered in the Program must meet the CitiAccess research standard, the CitiFocus research standard, or the standards set by the Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers (“C-RAM,” formerly known as the Forum for the Review and Approval of Managers). (See “Item 6.A– Research in Advisory Programs”). Models are subject to ongoing review by CGMI regarding their appropriateness as an investment option in the Program. CGMI and the Model Provider reserve the right to update, modify, add, remove or otherwise change the Models or the types of Models in the Program at any time in their sole discretion. If a Model ceases to be available through the Program, CGMI may exercise its discretion to select a replacement Model for affected client accounts based on Questionnaire responses and the previous Model for the account. Depending on the circumstances, clients may not be notified until after a replacement Model has been implemented. There are potential adverse tax consequences to switching Models. Account Information CGMI (either directly or indirectly) confirms all transactions executed for the account and provides account statements at least quarterly. CGMI, Clearing Firm or one of their respective designees also delivers to clients copies of the prospectuses for the ETFs and/or mutual funds in which they invest. Fees Clients participating in the Program pay CGMI an annual asset-based fee. The annual asset-based fee is calculated at the rate of 0.25% for CWB and 0.60% for CWB Plus based on the average daily balance of a client’s account during the billable quarter. The fee is paid quarterly in arrears and is due on the first business day following the end of each calendar quarter. The fee includes all fees or charges of CGMI and Clearing Firm, including investment advice, brokerage commissions for trades executed at Clearing Firm, Clearing Firm’s custodial charges and fees payable to the applicable Model Provider. The fee does not include the internal fees and expenses charged by the ETFs and/or mutual funds in which the client invests. Additionally, the fee does not include fees that are outside the scope of the client’s Program Agreement with CGMI (e.g., wire transfer fees, account transfer fees, lending fees and interest, retirement plan administration fees, trustee fees, etc.), any and all taxes and fees or their equivalent imposed by exchanges or regulatory bodies, and certain other fees and charges described herein. CGMI pays a portion of the asset-based fees it receives 8 from clients to Clearing Firm. For more information relating to fees, see “Item 4.C– Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” and “Item 9.B.3–Client Referrals and Other Compensation.” The fee applicable to a client’s account can be changed by CGMI at any time, upon written notice to the client. CGMI will promptly notify the client of any changes to the fee applicable to client’s account, which notice may be delivered after the effective date of any new fee. CGMI, in its sole discretion, may offer a lower fee than identified above (or a fee waiver) to other clients. Termination of Program Agreement Either party may terminate a client’s Program Agreement at any time upon written notice to the other, and termination will become effective upon delivery of such notice. A client may also terminate its Program Agreement by providing telephonic notice to CGMI. Upon termination of a client’s Program Agreement, the client may elect to have CGMI liquidate the client’s account or convert the client’s account to non-managed status. If a client’s account is converted to non-managed status, the client will have exclusive responsibility for all investment and other decisions affecting such account, and neither CGMI nor its affiliates will: (i) be under any obligation to recommend any action with regard to, liquidate, or monitor the investments in such account, (ii) take any action or notify the client, including with respect to any corporate actions or proxies applicable to investments held in such account, or (iii) be liable for any depreciation in the value of the investments held in such account or any failure to recommend any action or take any action with respect to such investments. A.3. Clearing, Custody and Execution Services Pershing acts as clearing firm and custodian of client assets in connection with the Program. Pershing is a “qualified custodian” within the meaning of Rule 206(4)-2 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), otherwise known as the “Custody Rule.” In its capacity as clearing firm, Pershing provides a variety of services for the Program. These services include, without limitation, holding client account assets in custody (for certain Programs), settling transactions, sending trade confirmations, account statements and tax reporting documentation, and other operational account-related services. Pershing will not provide (and should not be construed as providing) clients with any investment advice in connection with the Program. CGMI reserves the right at any time, and without notice to clients, to terminate the delegation of some or all of these custody and clearing services and to assume or further delegate responsibility for such services. Pershing executes transactions for the client’s account in accordance with the Model proposed by the Application (which proposal, in turn, is based on the client’s investment style preference and responses to the Questionnaire), subject to any reasonable investment restrictions that the client has imposed. CGMI compensates Pershing for the services it provides to us in relation to the Program. Among other fees, Pershing charges us a fixed annual fee for each client account. Under our arrangement with Pershing, Pershing reduces the fees it charges to us as follows: (i) for Citi Private Bank (“CPB”) and Citi Global Wealth at Work (“WaW”) accounts, CGMI receives a one-time credit from Pershing for 9 each new non-retirement Program account ($450 per account) and (ii) for CPWM and Citi Personal Investments International (“CPII”) accounts, for new non-retirement Program assets under management established with Pershing, CGMI receives 0.043% of new assets, capped at $860, per account. Pershing provides these credits to CGMI so long as the number of new accounts or amount of new assets under management, respectively, exceeds the applicable baseline which is agreed between us and Pershing on a quarterly basis. As a result, we benefit from adding new accounts in the form of paying lower fees and therefore have a conflict of interest. To address this conflict, we have policies and procedures regarding recommendations of account types. CGMI does not share these credits with registered representatives, though compensation of representatives generally will be greater if more new accounts are opened or new assets come under management. For wire transfer and outgoing account transfer services, CGMI charges fees to its clients as reflected in the standard fee schedule for account services. Note that these fees charged by CGMI to its clients include a mark-up of the amounts charged to CGMI by Pershing for these services, and CGMI’s portion of the fee frequently constitutes a majority (or all) of CGMI’s charge to the client for the service. Revenue from these services is not shared with registered representatives. See “Item 4.C. – Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges” for more information about these service fees. Our financial arrangement with Pershing gives us an incentive to continue to use Pershing and its services as the clearing firm for the Programs and thus creates a conflict of interest with our clients. The cost to terminate our arrangement with Pershing decreases over time, which gives us a financial incentive to continue our relationship with Pershing. Moreover, in addition to the revenue sharing opportunities described above, with respect to any cost savings or other advantages, which may differ by product line or distribution channel, CGMI is not obligated to pass along the savings, rebates or other benefits to clients. CGMI seeks to mitigate this conflict by evaluating and monitoring the services it receives from Pershing to ensure that retaining Pershing continues to serve clients’ interests, in accordance with its vendor management policies and procedures. In CGMI’s sole discretion, at any time and for any reason, CGMI may engage an alternative broker- dealer to execute transactions for a client’s account. If there is a disruption in the services provided by Clearing Firm for any reason, CGMI or an affiliate may execute transactions for the account during the period of the disruption. This may impact account performance. In executing transactions for the account, Clearing Firm may act on an agency or principal basis, to the extent permitted by law and subject to applicable restrictions, and will be entitled to compensation for its services. Because transactions for the account will generally be executed exclusively through Clearing Firm, the prices at which transactions are executed may be less favorable for the client than would be the case if another broker-dealer were used. CGMI does not receive payment for order flow for these orders. Some or all transactions effected by Clearing Firm for the client’s account may be aggregated with transactions for other clients of CGMI, Clearing Firm or one of their respective affiliates and may be subsequently allocated to the client’s account at an average price. Clearing Firm may also from time to time and at its discretion act as principal (to the extent permitted by law) with respect to aggregated orders that result in allocations to the client’s account at an average price. The client’s confirmations will identify when a transaction was effected at an average price, the average price at which it was 10 effected, and if so, whether CGMI acted as principal or agent for the transaction. When a transaction for the client’s account is aggregated with transactions effected for other accounts, the price at which the aggregated transaction is effected may be less favorable for the client’s account than would be the case if the relevant security or other financial product was transacted for the client’s account individually. Clearing Firm maintains policies and procedures designed to ensure that aggregated transactions are effected on a fair and equitable basis. A.4 Sweep Programs Cash balances in a Program account are invested or “swept” automatically into an eligible money market mutual fund (each, a “Sweep Fund”) selected by CGMI in its sole discretion. In entering into a Program Agreement, clients authorize CGMI, without any further direction, to sweep or invest each business day all cash balances in the account in excess of $0.01 be automatically invested or swept every business day into the Sweep Fund that CGMI selects. The prospectus for each Sweep Fund is provided to clients, as required under applicable law. In the event that a client makes an additional contribution to its account in an amount less than a minimum threshold established by CGMI from time to time (generally the lesser of $200 or 4% of the value of the account), such additional contribution will be invested or “swept” automatically into the Sweep Fund and will not be invested according to a Model until additional funds are contributed to the account or the account is otherwise rebalanced. The asset-based fee charged in connection with the Program will be applied to cash balances in a client’s account, including assets invested in a Sweep Fund. Clients should understand that they will experience negative performance on the cash portion of their accounts if the applicable asset-based fee charged in respect of the cash is higher than the return the client receives from the cash sweep vehicle (i.e., the Sweep Fund). A.5. Certain Risks Risks Related to Investments in ETFs An ETF is an investment company that allows investors to purchase an undivided interest in a portfolio of securities and other assets. An ETF’s portfolio may consist of stocks, commodities, and other financial assets to achieve the investment objectives stated in the ETF’s prospectus. ETFs, like other investments, are subject to certain risks. Returns are not guaranteed. ETF share prices may be volatile and an investor in an ETF could lose the entire amount of his or her investment. Unlike mutual funds, shares of ETFs are listed and traded on securities exchanges. The market price for ETF shares may be higher or lower than the ETF’s net asset value (i.e., the value of the ETF’s underlying investments). Shares of ETFs may at times be acquired by CGMI for a client’s account at a market price representing a premium or discount to their net asset values. If the market price is higher than the NAV, the ETF is said to be trading at a “premium”. If the price is lower, it is trading at a “discount”. Accordingly, ETFs may be purchased at prices that exceed the NAV of their underlying investments and may be sold at prices below such NAV. Under such circumstances, the trading price of ETF shares will not mirror the NAV of the underlying investments of those ETF shares. 11 Moreover, there are costs associated with purchasing and selling an ETF, called a “bid-ask” spread (the difference between what a buyer is willing to pay (bid) for an ETF and the seller’s offering (ask) price). All of these transaction costs (which do not apply to the purchase and sale of mutual funds) will adversely affect the performance of the Program Models that invest in ETFs. Investments in ETFs also involve the risk that the ETF’s performance may not track the performance of the index (if any) the ETF is designed to track. Unlike an index, an ETF incurs administrative expenses and transaction costs in trading securities. In addition, the timing and magnitude of cash inflows and outflows from and to investors buying and redeeming shares in the ETF could create cash balances that cause the ETF’s performance to deviate from the index (which remains “fully invested” at all times). Performance of an ETF and the index it is designed to track (if any) also may diverge because the composition of the index and the securities held by the ETF may occasionally differ. In addition, only “Authorized Participants” may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with an ETF, and an ETF will have a limited number of institutions that act as Authorized Participants. To the extent that these institutions exit the business, elect not to transact with the ETF, or are unable to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the ETF and no other Authorized Participant is able to step forward to create or redeem, the ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to their net asset value and possibly face trading halts and/or delisting. The Models available through the Program can include ETFs that have no prior, or limited, operating history and performance. Risks Related to Investments in Mutual Funds A mutual fund is an investment company that allows investors to purchase an undivided interest in a portfolio of securities and other assets. A mutual fund’s portfolio may consist of stocks, bonds, money market instruments, commodities, derivatives, and other financial assets to achieve the investment objectives stated in the mutual fund’s prospectus. Mutual funds, like other investments, are subject to certain risks. The internal costs and expenses charged by a mutual fund are borne proportionately by its shareholders, and those expenses adversely affect investment performance. Returns are not guaranteed, NAVs may be volatile and an investor in a mutual fund could lose the entire amount of his or her investment.. Mutual funds available in the Program are actively managed, meaning that they carry the risk that the fund will underperform compared to another fund that tracks an index. Certain mutual funds offer only one class of shares, while other mutual funds offer multiple share classes that are available for investment based upon certain eligibility and/or purchase requirements. CGMI selects the lowest cost share class for which the program is eligible – typically the institutional share class. Risks Related to ESG Investing An ESG investment strategy is limited in the types and number of investment opportunities available and, as a result, an ESG investment strategy may underperform other investment strategies that do not 12 have an ESG focus. An ESG investment strategy may invest in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. Frameworks for ESG investing vary among investment advisers and funds, as the definition of each factor is subjective. Therefore, the companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser as demonstrating ESG characteristics may not be the same companies selected by other index providers or investment advisers that use similar ESG screens. Further, an index provider or investment adviser may select companies based on a particular ESG factor or factors rather than a holistic assessment of a company’s ESG characteristics. In addition, companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser may not exhibit the ESG characteristics the index provider or investment adviser seeks to identify. Risks Related to Investments in Money Market Mutual Funds As described above, cash balances in a client’s account will be automatically swept into an eligible money market mutual fund. An investment in a money market mutual fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. A money market mutual fund seeks income by investing in short-term debt securities. Money market mutual funds may have a floating net asset value or may seek to maintain a constant net asset value of $1 per share. For all money market mutual funds, including those that seek to preserve the value of an investment therein at $1 per share, it is possible to lose money. Furthermore, certain money market mutual funds subject investors to restrictions on the ability to redeem an investment in times of market stress, by imposing liquidity fees and/or temporary bans on redemptions. If the liquidity fees or bans on redemptions are triggered, then clients could be prevented from withdrawing some or all of their cash for investment purposes or for other liquidity needs. In addition, if money market mutual funds are forced to cease operations and their holdings must be liquidated or distributed in kind to the fund’s shareholders, then clients could be prevented or delayed from accessing their cash. Access Interruptions CGMI makes no guarantee that access to the Application will be available at all times. CGMI reserves the right to suspend access to the Application without prior notice for scheduled or unscheduled system repairs or upgrades. Further, access to the Application and a client’s account, may be limited or unavailable due to, among other things: market volatility, peak demand, systems upgrades, maintenance, any kind of interruption of the services provided by CGMI, hardware or software malfunction or failure, internet service failure or unavailability, the actions of any governmental, judicial, or regulatory body, and force majeure. Investment Tools The investment tools on the Site are provided as an accommodation and are not a guarantee of performance and CGMI does not guarantee or make any warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the projections or proposals generated by the Site. CGMI is not liable for any losses (including lost opportunity or profits) arising out of or relating to discrepancies between projections and proposals and actual performance. The Site is not designed to provide clients with a comprehensive financial plan. 13 A.6. Reasonable Investment Restrictions Clients may request as directed on the Site and Application that a particular security or category of securities not be purchased or sold for an account. In addition, CWB Plus clients may request restrictions by contacting a Program Advisor. If CGMI determines that the client’s requested restrictions are reasonable, CGMI will use its best efforts to honor such restrictions and will delegate responsibility for implementing such restrictions to Clearing Firm. CGMI will reject any restriction it believes is unreasonable or cannot be effectively implemented or monitored. Clients should understand that restrictions can have an adverse effect on the account’s investment performance, asset diversification, and ability to achieve its investment goals and objectives, compared with an account that is fully invested in the securities proposed for the account by the relevant Model. In the event a category of securities is restricted, Clearing Firm will have sole discretion to determine the specific securities in the restricted category. In making this determination, Clearing Firm may rely on outside sources, such as standard industry codes and research furnished by independent service providers. Compliance with any restrictions will be as of the date of selection of the restricted investment only, based on the characteristics of such investment on that date, as determined by the Clearing Firm in its discretion. Restrictions will not be deemed to be violated due to changes in the characteristics of an investment following the purchase or selection of an investment. Restrictions imposed on the management of the account will not apply to or affect the internal management or underlying investments held by an ETF or mutual fund purchased for the account in accordance with the Model selected by the client. Each ETF or mutual fund is managed or invested in accordance with its investment objectives and the guidelines set forth in the fund’s prospectus. Consequently, clients will have limited ability to impose restrictions on the management of their account. If an investment restriction is deemed reasonable, Clearing Firm will allocate the assets that would have been invested in the security(ies) impacted by the investment restriction to cash or cash equivalents. B. Investment Advisory Services versus Brokerage Services; Cost of Program Relative to Non-Asset-Based Fee Alternatives; Relative Costs of Program Alternatives CGMI is registered as both a broker-dealer and as an investment adviser under federal and state securities laws, and provides services in both capacities in connection with the Program described in this brochure. Investment advisory and brokerage services are separate and distinct and are governed by different laws and separate contracts. Brokerage services are transactional and primarily involve assisting a customer with purchases and sales of securities. CGMI makes recommendations to customers about buying, selling, and holding securities in brokerage accounts, but the customer makes final investment decisions for the account. CGMI does not monitor any investments in brokerage accounts. For brokerage services, a customer pays a transaction-based fee, sometimes called a commission or a “load,” each time the customer buys or sells an investment. If a customer buys or sells an investment directly from CGMI, CGMI earns a profit on that transaction that sometimes is called a spread or mark-up or mark-down. 14 Investment advisory services are provided on an ongoing basis and typically involve providing investment advice designed to meet a client’s comprehensive long-term financial goals. In most investment advisory account programs, clients grant CGMI or a third-party discretion to buy and sell investments without asking the client in advance. Other investment advisory accounts are non- discretionary and the client makes the final investment decisions for the account. The investment adviser for an account typically provides ongoing monitoring services for the account unless the relationship is limited in scope, like financial planning. For investment advisory services, CGMI typically charges an ongoing fee based on the value of the assets in the account. Although the primary purpose of the Program is to provide clients with investment advice and guidance, the Program combines both brokerage and investment advisory services, and the single asset-based fee that clients pay for the Program generally covers CGMI’s brokerage and investment advisory services, along with clearing and custody services and certain other services described above. (Services that are not covered by the single asset-based fee are described below). Advisory Programs, which can be accessed Financial Planning Service, which can be accessed Clients should understand that they may be able to obtain some or all of the services described in this brochure from CGMI without participating in the Program. In that case, a client’s total cost may be lower or higher than the fees charged in connection with the Program. Clients may also be able to obtain the same or similar services or types of investments through other advisory programs offered by CGMI and/or its affiliates. Such other investment advisory programs may be offered at a lower or higher overall cost than the Program. For example, CGMI’s Model Allocations Portfolios Program and Multi- Asset Class Solutions Program provide services that are similar to those provided through the Program and also allow clients to seek advice from a CGMI financial advisor. Accordingly, clients who seek services that are similar to those provided through the Program and also desire to interact with a CGMI financial advisor should consider investing through the Model Allocation Portfolios Program or Multi- Asset Class Solutions Program and should also review the full suite of investment advisory programs offered by CGMI. Such investment advisory programs (including the Model Allocations Portfolios Program and Multi-Asset Class Solutions Program) are described in CGMI’s Form ADV Part 2A for Investment here: http://www.citi.com/investorinfo/advisoryprivacy/. Likewise, CWB Plus clients should be aware that CGMI offers a financial planning service at no charge to CPWM clients. The Citigroup Global Markets Inc. Financial Planning Service offered through CPWM is described in CGMI’s Form ADV Part2A for the here: http://www.citi.com/investorinfo/advisoryprivacy/. Moreover, unaffiliated financial services firms may offer to the public other investment products with similar investment styles and holdings as the Models offered through the Program. The fees and charges associated with these products may be higher or lower than the fees imposed by CGMI under the Program. In addition, because the fees can be lower or temporarily waived for other clients, a client participating in the Program could pay higher or lower fees than an otherwise similarly situated client participating in the Program. In comparing the Program with other programs or account types, and their relative costs, a client should consider various factors, including, but not limited to: • the client’s preference for an investment advisory or brokerage relationship, a discretionary or 15 a non-discretionary relationship, a fee-based or commission-based relationship, and access to a dedicated financial advisor; the types of investment vehicles and solutions that are available in the Program; • • whether the investment solution offered in the Program is available through another CGMI investment advisory program or by another financial services firm at a lower or higher cost; • how much trading activity the client expects to take place in its account; • whether the client wishes to invest in financial instruments other than ETFs and mutual funds, and which financial instruments are available in another investment advisory program; • how much of the client’s assets are expected to be allocated to cash; • • the frequency and type of client profiling reports, performance reporting and account reviews that are available in the Program; and the scope of ancillary services that may be available to the client through a brokerage account, but which are not available through the Program. C. Additional Information Regarding Fees and Charges In addition to the asset-based fees payable in connection with the Program, clients pay additional fees or charges in connection with their accounts or certain securities transactions. These may include (but are not limited to): exchange fees; transfer taxes; electronic fund and wire transfer fees; account transfer fees; certain fees in connection with custodial, trustee and other services rendered by a CGMI affiliate; termination fees with respect to IRAs; SEC fees on securities trades; other charges mandated by law; and certain fees in connection with the establishment, administration or termination of retirement or profit sharing plans or trust accounts. CGMI (either directly or through its affiliates) will from time to time negotiate with clearing firms, investment managers, or other service providers to achieve cost savings or other improved terms for services covered by a client’s asset-based fee or other fees and charges. Any cost savings or other advantages achieved may differ by product line or distribution channel, and CGMI and its affiliates are under no obligation to pass along the savings or other benefits to clients. In such cases, only CGMI and/or one of its affiliates will benefit. Clearing Firm does not charge CGMI for wire transfer services. CGMI charges clients of Citi Wealth $25 per wire transfer. In addition, Clearing Firm charges CGMI $25 for outgoing account transfer services, and CGMI marks up that amount by $70 and charges clients $95. CGMI’s portion of these fees is intended to compensate CGMI for its role in providing the processing, administrative and oversight services and frequently constitutes a majority (or all) of CGMI’s charge to the client for the service. Revenue from these services is not shared with registered representatives. The standard fee schedule for account services is posted at https://www.citi.com/investorinfo/. CGMI reserves the right to reduce or waive such fees in its sole discretion. When a client invests in an ETF and/or mutual fund through the Program account, the client will pay his or her pro rata share of the ETF’s and/or mutual fund’s investment advisory fees and other expenses. These fees and expenses are payable to the ETF’s and/or mutual fund’s manager and other service providers (which service providers may be affiliated with CGMI). Fees and expenses charged by ETFs and mutual funds are in addition to the asset-based fee charged in the Program. Clients may purchase shares of the ETFs and/or mutual funds used in the Program through one or more other broker-dealers 16 without enrolling in the Program. Clients who invest in ETFs and/or mutual funds other than through the Program will not pay the asset-based Program fee in respect of such investments. Furthermore, CGMI or one of its affiliates may effect portfolio transactions for certain of the ETFs and/or mutual funds and other financial instruments (including money market mutual funds) in which clients invest and compensation paid to CGMI or such affiliate in connection with such transactions will be in addition to the asset-based fee charged through the Program. With respect to mutual funds included in the Models, clients in the Program will hold “Institutional” class shares that generally do not include certain fees and expenses associated with “retail” share classes, such as 12b-1 distribution fees. In the event the Program Agreement is terminated by either party prior to the end of a billing period, a pro-rata fee will be charged. Generally, interest will be charged to a client’s account should the account have a debit balance as a result of the client’s activity. The “net equity” value of assets, calculated as total assets less debit balance, will be used for the purpose of calculating the asset-based fees payable in connection with the Program. When Clearing Firm has custody of the client’s assets, it credits interest and dividends to the account. Fee minimums and account minimums may vary as a result of the application of prior schedules depending upon the client account inception date. D. Compensation CGMI earns fees or other income for services other than investment advisory services, including, among other things, permitting qualifying clients to take out loans that are secured by the assets in the client’s account (for more information, see “Item 9.A.2. – Advisory Account Lending”). These arrangements present conflicts of interest because CGMI and CGMI financial advisers have a financial incentive to offer clients non-advisory products and services to increase the overall compensation received. Program Advisors earn a salary and are not compensated based on the creation of a Plan or other incentives. Based, among other things, on the potential for an increase in the use of CIM’s services as a Model Provider, CGMI has an incentive to recommend CIM Models to clients. E. Incentives From time to time, CGMI offers certain incentives for select clients or prospective clients to enroll in the Program. Such incentives include but are not limited to discounts, annual asset-based fee waiver(s) (limited, partial, or other), cash bonus payments, or other offers (“Incentive”). Incentives can be offered to limited groups of clients or prospective clients who CGMI determines, in its sole discretion, meet specific conditions of an offered Incentive. For example, Incentive conditions could include but not be limited to opening a new or specific account type with required funding, completing a financial plan with CGMI, responding to surveys, verified locations or residence, or continuous account maintenance for a specified time. Clients or prospective clients will not be offered or receive an Incentive to enroll in the Program unless CGMI expressly and directly offers the Incentive to the client or prospective client and CGMI determines, in its sole discretion, that the client or prospective client has met all the conditions of an offered Incentive. The specific terms of an Incentive will be described in the offer. 17 Item 5. Account Requirements and Types of Clients The minimum initial and ongoing account balance for CWB is $5,000 for the Index Models and $10,000 for the Active Models and ESG Models. The minimum initial and ongoing account balance for CWB Plus is $25,000 for all Models. These minimums may be reduced, increased or waived in CGMI’s sole discretion. CGMI is authorized to freeze accounts under certain circumstances, including in connection with regulatory requirements and other special circumstances. Under appropriate circumstances, fees may continue to be charged on the frozen accounts. CGMI reserves the right to terminate the client’s Program Agreement upon notice to the client. Item 6. Strategy Selection and Evaluation A. Research in Advisory Programs CGMI and the Model Provider use three primary methods – CitiFocus, CitiAccess and the C-RAM (see below for descriptions of each process) – to evaluate the investment strategies on which the Models offered in the Program are based. In general, CitiFocus and the C-RAM entail a more rigorous and thorough evaluation of a strategy than CitiAccess. The C-RAM is used with all Models. CitiFocus Under the CitiFocus standard, CGMI evaluates various qualitative and quantitative factors for each investment product offered through one of its advisory programs (each, a “Program Investment Product”), including, without limitation, biographies of key investment personnel, the investment philosophy, investment process, the Form ADV applicable to the Program Investment Product’s sponsor and/or investment manager, past performance information and marketing literature. CGMI personnel will also interview the sponsor and/or investment manager and its key personnel and examine its investment process. Program Investment Products that are approved under the CitiFocus standard are then included on the “CitiFocus List” for Programs. CGMI periodically reviews whether a Program Investment Product continues to meet the criteria for the CitiFocus standard. In conducting these reviews, CGMI considers a broad range of qualitative and quantitative factors including investment performance, staffing, operational issues and financial condition. Among other things, CGMI personnel interview each sponsor and/or investment manager periodically to discuss these matters. CGMI tends to emphasize quantitative analysis with respect to Program Investment Products with which CGMI has previously conducted personal interviews. In addition, in certain instances CGMI will review the collective performance of a composite of the CGMI accounts being sponsored or managed by a sponsor and/or investment manager, compare that information to the overall performance data provided by such sponsor and/or investment manager, and then investigate any material deviations. CitiAccess 18 Under the CitiAccess standard, CGMI reviews Program Investment Products based on various quantitative factors. The Program Investment Products are evaluated according to various performance metrics, including absolute return, volatility, and risk-adjusted return, although not all Program Investment Products evaluated under the CitiAccess standard will be evaluated based on this rules-based approach. For the strategies or models that are difficult to evaluate based on the rules-based approach, a qualitative review is conducted. When a Program Investment Product is evaluated under the rules-based approach, analysts review the completeness and consistency of the data and will, to the extent necessary, follow-up with the Program Investment Product’s manager or sponsor with additional information requests. However, information provided by managers or sponsors of Program Investment Products in connection with the review process are not independently verified by CGMI. Program Investment Products that are approved under the CitiAccess standard are included on the “CitiAccess List.” Program Investment Products that meet the CitiAccess standard are reviewed periodically by CGMI to evaluate whether they continue to meet CGMI’s standard. Committee for the Review and Approval of Managers (“C-RAM”) The C-RAM selects the investment managers and investment funds for the Models. The investment managers and funds selected for the Models are unaffiliated with CGMI. The C-RAM has developed various criteria that are used to screen unaffiliated portfolio managers and investment funds. These criteria are subject to change from time to time. Investment managers and funds that meet the C-RAM standards are reviewed periodically by the C-RAM to evaluate whether they continue to meet the C- RAM standards. Investment products that are on the CitiFocus List are automatically approved by the C-RAM for inclusion in its approved list for the Models. In addition, an investment product that meets the CitiFocus standard may be used in the Models even though the investment product is not on the CitiFocus List. As described below, CIM applies additional minimum criteria in the case of the Models that integrate ESG criteria. Evaluation of ETFs ETFs in all Models are evaluated in accordance with CGMI’s due diligence procedures, which key evaluation criteria for ETFs include assets of the ETF, presence of leverage, the ETF sponsor’s total assets under management, and the sponsor’s length of experience in managing ETFs. Certain ETFs that do not meet these criteria may be approved subject to alternative procedures. In general, ETFs that either meet CGMI’s due diligence criteria or that do not meet the criteria but have been individually approved according to the alternative procedures are permitted to be included in the Program described herein. ESG Models and ESG Screening ETFs used in the ESG Models must satisfy additional minimum criteria based on, among other things, the investment manager’s responses to a sustainability related survey or supplemental research 19 conducted by CGMI. The managers of the ETFs selected by CIM use varying ESG screening methodologies and the ESG factors considered are not standardized among managers. CIM may select an ETF for an ESG Model based on the ESG factor or factors described in the manager’s survey responses, including with regard to a particular investment or investments held by an ETF. Model Performance CGMI does not use any industry standards, such as global investment performance standards (commonly referred to as “GIPS”), to calculate performance of the Models. B. Additional Information Asset Allocation Risk Asset allocation portfolios are dependent upon CGMI’s ability to make allocations and investment decisions that achieve a portfolio’s investment objective. There is a risk that CGMI’s evaluations and assumptions used in making such allocations may not achieve the objective, and that a portfolio may underperform its benchmark or other portfolios with similar investment objectives. Risk of Loss Investing in shares of ETFs and mutual funds involve risks in addition to those described above under Item 4.A. – “Risks Related to Investments in ETFs” and “Risks Related to Investments in Mutual Funds” that may result in losses to clients, including the potential loss of the principal amount invested. Such risks include, among others, losses caused by adverse market conditions, market volatility, limited liquidity and other market action. Cybersecurity Risks CGMI, its affiliates, service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. They rely on computer programs to evaluate certain securities and other investments, to monitor their portfolios, to trade, clear and settle securities transactions, and to generate asset, risk management and other reports that are utilized in the oversight of their activities, among other things. In addition, certain of their operations interface with or depend on systems operated by third parties and they will not always be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third-party systems. These systems are susceptible to operational, informational security, and related risks that could adversely affect CGMI and the clients. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Like other financial services firms, CGMI experiences malicious cyber activity directed at its computer systems, software, networks and its users on a daily basis. This malicious activity includes attempts at unauthorized access, implantation of computer viruses or malware, and denial-of-service attacks. CGMI also experiences large volumes of phishing and other forms of social engineering attempted for the purpose of perpetrating fraud against CGMI, its associates, or its clients. Attacks also may be carried out by causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (making network 20 services unavailable to intended users). Cyber incidents could cause disruptions and affect business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business or trade (including failure of trade settlements, inaccurate recording or processing of trades, inaccurate client records, inability to monitor investments and risks), destruction to equipment and systems, loss or theft of investor data, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation or liability costs, or additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result from cyber incidents affecting the investments in which the Programs invest, including those affecting other investment managers, issuers of securities and other interests, brokers, dealers, exchanges, and other financial institutions and market operators. The increased use of mobile and cloud technologies, including as a result of the shift to work-from- home arrangements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened these and other operational risks, and any failure by CGMI’s mobile or cloud technology service providers to adequately safeguard the systems CGMI uses and prevent or quickly detect and remediate cyber attacks could disrupt CGMI’s operations and result in misappropriation, corruption or loss of confidential or propriety information. Global and Regional Events Risks Global and regional events such as war, terrorist attacks, political unrest, climate change, natural disasters, public health crises, and pandemics may cause substantial losses by, among other things: causing disruptions in global economic conditions; decreasing investor confidence; disrupting financial markets and the ability to conduct business activities; causing loss or displacement of employees; triggering large-scale technology failures or delays; and requiring substantial capital expenditures and operating expenses to remediate damage and restore operations. Inflation in the U.S. could continue or reaccelerate in the near-to medium-term. Further, heightened competition for workers, supply chain issues and rising energy and commodity prices have contributed to increasing wages and other inputs. Higher inflation and rising costs present material uncertainty with respect to investment performance. Current Russian military activities within Ukraine, resulting in international economic sanctions and other restrictive actions against Russia, and associated mounting tensions, are expected to result in material market volatility, have a materially negative impact on the economy and business activity globally, and therefore could materially adversely affect investment performance. Furthermore, the rapid and uncertain development of the current conflict between the two nations and the varying involvement of other countries, including the U.S. and other members of NATO, makes the ultimate adverse impact on global economic and market conditions difficult to predict. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions and impacts on the markets for certain commodities, such as oil and natural gas, present material uncertainty and risk and could have a material adverse effect on issuers of securities and their respective businesses, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations and may cause the market value of such issuers to decline materially. Financial Services Industry Risks 21 National and regional banks, financial institutions and other participants in the U.S. and global capital markets are closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, technology and other relationships. A significant adverse development (such as a bank run, insolvency, bankruptcy or default) with one or more national or regional banks, financial institutions or other participants in the financial or capital markets may spread to others and lead to significant concentrated or market- wide problems (such as defaults, liquidity problems, impairment charges, additional bank runs and/or losses) for other participants in these markets. Future developments, including actions taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, and systemic risk in the U.S. and global banking sectors and broader economies in general, are difficult to assess and quantify, and the form and magnitude of such developments or other actions of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board may remain unknown for significant periods of time and could have an adverse effect on investments. No Review of Fund Performance Information Neither CGMI, its affiliates nor any third-party reviews ETF or mutual fund performance information to determine or verify its accuracy or its compliance with industry standards. Voting Client Securities Each client shall retain exclusive responsibility for voting proxies related to investments held in its account. To the extent that CGMI receives any proxies and proxy soliciting and related materials, including interim reports, annual reports and other issuer mailings, CGMI will promptly send such materials to the client, and the client will have exclusive responsibility for taking any actions in relation thereto. Item 7. Client Information Provided to Portfolio Managers CGMI will utilize a client’s completed Questionnaire and other client information for the purpose of facilitating CGMI’s provision of investment advice through the Program. Through the Program’s online access, clients can review and adjust their information, choices and objectives. Item 8. Client Contact with Portfolio Managers Clients generally will not be provided an opportunity to discuss their accounts with CIM. CWB Plus clients may contact a Program Advisor to update the information in their Questionnaire and Application. Item 9. Additional Information A.1. Disciplinary Information Below are summaries of certain legal and disciplinary events that may be material to clients and prospective clients. Additional information about legal and disciplinary events is available in Item 11 of our Form ADV, Part 1A, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. 22 SEC Claims Related to ASTA/MAT and Falcon Funds On August 17, 2015, the SEC announced that Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC (“CAI”) and CGMI (collectively with CAI, the “Respondents”) agreed to a settlement of allegations that, in connection with the offer and sale of securities in two now-defunct hedge funds, (1) the Respondents willfully violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), (2) CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”), and (3) CAI willfully violated Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder (the “Order”). The SEC alleged that the Respondents violated the law in misrepresenting the hedge funds’ risks and performance. Without admitting or denying the findings contained in the Order, with the exception of the Commission’s jurisdiction over them and the subject matter of the proceedings, the Respondents agreed to the following sanctions: (a) Respondents to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (b) CGMI to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act, (c) CAI to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder, (d) Respondents to be censured, and (e) Respondents to pay disgorgement of $139,950,239 and prejudgment interest of $39,612,089. SEC Claims Related to Surveillance of Principal Trading On August 19, 2015, the SEC and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the SEC found, and CGMI neither admitted nor denied, that CGMI was in violation of Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder, in connection with CGMI’s surveillance of principal trading against certain restricted trading lists and principal trading by an affiliated market maker Automated Trading Desk Financial Services LLC (“ATD”) in managed accounts. The SEC found that CGMI failed to adopt and comply with adequate related policies and procedures. Pursuant to the settlement, CGMI agreed to (1) cease and desist from certain conduct, (2) a censure, (3) pay a civil penalty of $15 million and (4) comply with certain undertakings, including to continue to retain a consultant to conduct a comprehensive assessment of CGMI’s trade surveillance program and order handling in relation to transactions for which CGMI acts as an investment adviser. In determining to accept the settlement offer, the SEC considered the cooperation of, and certain remedial measures undertaken by CGMI, including (a) voluntarily retaining a consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of CGMI’s trade surveillance practices and to recommend improvements regarding CGMI’s policies and procedures and (b) voluntarily paying $2.5 million – representing ATD’s total profits from the principal transactions – to the affected advisory client accounts. SEC Claims Related to CitiFX Alpha Sold to MSSB Clients On January 24, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with the SEC related to a foreign exchange trading program known as “CitiFX Alpha,” which was sold to certain brokerage customers and advisory clients of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) during 2010 and 2011. At the time, CGMI held 23 a 49% ownership interest in MSSB. The SEC alleged that CGMI omitted material information from investor presentations, including failure to disclose that a substantially higher leverage could be used than was disclosed and that mark-ups on trades would be charged, that caused the investors to suffer significant losses. Without admitting or denying the findings, CGMI agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act and pay disgorgement of $624,458.27, prejudgment interest of $89,277.34, and a civil money penalty of $2,250,000.00. TRAK Fund Solution Settlements CGMI settled two matters relating to overcharges in certain advisory client accounts. The overcharges related primarily to the TRAK Fund Solution program, which CGMI offered between 1991 and 2011. the extent not already implemented. Copies of On January 26, 2017, the SEC issued an Order finding that CGMI violated various provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by overcharging or causing to be overcharged approximately 60,000 advisory client accounts in the amount of $18 million and by failing to keep proper books and records with respect to maintenance of client contracts. Those overcharges had, at the time of the Order, been reimbursed with interest, to the extent they could be identified. Pursuant to the Order, CGMI agreed to pay disgorgement and pre-judgment interest in the amount of $4,000,000, pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $14,300,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the SEC and remedial actions the Order can be obtained at to www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2017/34-79882.pdf or from your CGMI representative. On January 12, 2017, the New York Attorney General’s Office (“NYAG”) and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the NYAG found that CGMI had violated the Martin Act and Executive Law § 63(12) by overcharging certain advisory client accounts. CGMI agreed to pay a monetary penalty in the amount of $1,000,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the NYAG. FINRA Claims Related to Research Ratings On December 28, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with FINRA. As part of that settlement, FINRA alleged that for a period of time, CGMI displayed (both internally and externally) inaccurate research ratings for certain equity securities. FINRA alleged that this inaccuracy, which resulted from errors in the electronic feed of ratings data that the firm provided to its clearing firm, caused CGMI to display the wrong rating for some covered securities (e.g., “buy” instead of “sell”), display ratings for other securities that CGMI was not actively covering at the time, and not display ratings for securities that CGMI, in fact, rated. FINRA also alleged that CGMI failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system and written supervisory procedures designed to ensure the accurate and complete dissemination of research ratings. Without admitting or denying the allegations, CGMI consented to a censure, a fine of $5.5 million, and an undertaking to pay compensation of at least $6 million to customers who were solicited to purchase or sell securities affected by the ratings display issues.

For example, CGMI client holdings include ETFs where CGMI or its affiliates provide services as administrator, trustee and custodian. CGMI client holdings may also include securities in which CGMI makes a market or in which CGMI, its officers or employees have positions. CGMI and its affiliates receive compensation and fees in connection with the provision of the foregoing services. As part of an overall internal compliance program, CGMI has adopted policies and procedures imposing certain conditions and restrictions on transactions for CGMI’s own account or the accounts of its employees. Such policies and procedures are designed to prevent, among other things, any improper or abusive conduct when conflicts of interest may exist for a customer or client. CGMI affiliates act as an administrator for a wide range of open-end and closed-end investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. CGMI affiliates serve as administrator, trustee and custodian to ETFs and mutual funds. B.1. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions, and Personal Trading Employee Personal Trading and Fiduciary Code of Ethics Employees and certain other persons who perform services that support the investment advisory business of CGMI are bound by the Personal Trading and Investment Policy (“PTIP Policy”) and the Fiduciary Code of Ethics (“Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics is designed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements including Rule 204A-1. Both the PTIP Policy and the Code of Ethics govern the trading of employees who support the investment advisory business of CGMI and the family members’ or related persons’ accounts over which the employee has investment discretion. Certain representatives within CGMI are considered covered persons under the PTIP Policy. The PTIP Policy governs the manner in which covered persons’ trading account information is made available to the firm’s compliance department and defines instances where pre-clearance or supervisory pre- approval is required. Covered persons are subject to a number of restrictions including: 1) prohibition on conduct of personal trades in securities for which they are in possession of material, non-public information; 2) prohibition on securities noted on the firm’s restricted list; and 3) prohibition on trading in securities where new and material research has been published. Other restrictions exist with respect to “new issue”/public offerings and trading of Citigroup shares. Covered persons are further prohibited from engaging in market timing strategies with respect to mutual fund transactions in covered accounts. Certain supervisory staff are responsible for reviewing all personal trading activity of their covered employees for indications of improper trading activity and insider trading. 26 When CGMI personnel purchase or sell certain securities for their own accounts on the same day that transactions in these securities are effected for client accounts, the price paid or realized by advisory personnel generally may not be more advantageous than the price at which the client transactions are effected. If orders by CGMI personnel are part of a batched client order and the entire block of securities is then not executed on the same day, no part of the order executed is permitted to be allocated to any advisory personnel. The Code of Ethics describes the standards of business conduct for CGMI’s investment advisory business, including the fiduciary obligations owed to clients and the obligation to comply with applicable laws. The Code of Ethics incorporates and is supplemented by other Citi policies and procedures, including policies and procedures designed to protect the flow of material non-public information and the confidentiality of client information and those imposing personal trading and investment restrictions, maintenance of personal securities trading accounts at CGMI, and reporting of personal securities holdings and transactions. The purposes of the Code of Ethics and the related policies and procedures include minimizing conflicts of interest between employees and investment advisory clients and assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Each person covered under the Code of Ethics receives a copy of the Code of Ethics upon being designated as a covered person and annually thereafter. They must sign an attestation that indicates that they have read and understand such Code of Ethics. In conjunction with this attestation, all covered persons are required to report any violation or potential violation of which they might become aware. A copy of CGMI’s Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client who mails a written request to: Citigroup Global Markets Inc. 153 East 53rd Street 24th Floor New York, NY 10022 Attention: Dana L. Platt, Chief Compliance Officer, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Investment Adviser Participation and Interest in Client Transactions CGMI and its affiliates could recommend securities in which they directly or indirectly have a financial interest and can also buy and sell securities that are recommended to clients for purchase and sale. They also provide advice and take action in the performance of their duties to clients which differs from advice given, or the timing and nature of action taken, for other clients’ accounts. Moreover, CGMI or any of its affiliates advise or take action for itself or themselves differently than for clients. In addition, CGMI, its affiliates, and their employees, including CGMI financial advisers, invest in the Program. From time to time, CGMI imposes restrictions to address the potential for self-dealing by CGMI and conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with CGMI’s broker-dealer and investment banking businesses. CGMI has adopted various procedures to guard against insider trading that include an “Information Barrier” procedure, pursuant to which information known within one area of CGMI (e.g., investment banking) is not permitted to be distributed to other areas (e.g., investment advisory), and use of a restricted list and various other monitoring lists. These investment banking or other activities may from time to time compel CGMI or its affiliates to forgo trading in the securities of companies 27 with which these relationships exist. This can adversely impact the investment performance of a client’s account. Principal Transactions CGMI generally does not act as principal in executing trades in connection with the Program. Clients should be aware that in some cases it may be disadvantageous not to trade on a principal basis with CGMI to the extent that CGMI otherwise would provide a price more favorable than the price available from an unaffiliated dealer or have inventory for sale not available through an unaffiliated dealer. Agency Cross Transactions Agency cross transactions (i.e., transactions in which CGMI acts as broker for the parties on both sides of the transaction) may be effected for customer accounts to the extent permitted by law. CGMI may receive compensation from parties on both sides of such transactions (the amount of which may vary) and in that case, CGMI will have a conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities. Any compensation CGMI receives in connection with agency cross transactions will be in addition to the asset-based fee that the client pays CGMI for its participation in the Program. In the Program Agreement, clients consent to and authorize CGMI to engage in agency-cross transactions for the client’s account, except where prohibited by law. Client consent to agency cross transactions may be revoked at any time by written notice to CGMI. B.2. Review of Accounts Accounts are generally monitored on an on-going basis by CGMI and are subject to supervision (either by the branch or a supervisory principal). CGMI’s review of accounts includes a review of each purchase or sale, as well as monthly position reports. B.3. Client Referrals and Other Compensation Compensation from Funds Clients invested in mutual funds in the Program will acquire “Institutional” class shares of such funds that do not pay many of the fees and expenses typically associated with “retail” share classes. In the event an institutional share class is not available, CGMI or its affiliates may receive any payments made from shares held in a Program account in the form of 12b-1 distribution or shareholder servicing fees, administrative fees, or transfer agency fees. CGMI or its affiliates will credit the client’s account in the amount of any compensation CGMI or its affiliates receive from participating mutual funds as soon as possible after receipt. Any compensation credited to a client’s account, including retirement accounts, will be treated as additional income and reported as such. Where Citibank or Clearing Firm receive shareholder service fees, recordkeeping services fees, sub- transfer agency or similar fees from participating mutual funds, Citibank/Clearing Firm will retain such fees. 28 CGMI and Affiliates Maintain Business Relationships with Companies that May Be Selected or Recommended for Client’s Portfolio CGMI and its affiliates provide a variety of services for various clients, including issuers of securities that CGMI may recommend for purchase or sale by clients. CGMI performs a wide range of investment banking and other services for various clients, and it is likely that CGMI client holdings will include the securities of issuers (and funds managed by such issuers and their affiliates) for which CGMI performs investment banking and other services. For example, CGMI client holdings include ETFs for which CGMI’s affiliate provides services as administrator, trustee and custodian. CGMI and its affiliates receive compensation and fees in connection with the provision of the foregoing services. CGMI affiliates may also provide investment banking and other services to the managers of funds that it recommends in the Program. As part of an overall internal compliance program, CGMI has adopted policies and procedures imposing certain conditions and restrictions on transactions for CGMI’s own account or the accounts of its employees. CGMI also apply stringent due diligence procedures for the approval and retention of funds used in Program Models to ensure selection is made in the interest of our clients, and not influenced by CGMI’s relationships. Such policies and procedures are designed to prevent, among other things, any improper or abusive conduct when conflicts of interest may exist with a customer or client. CGMI can use client lists when soliciting new clients provided that the existing clients included on such lists have not expressly requested confidentiality, whether in a contract or by written or oral request. B.4. Financial Information CGMI does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client, six months or more in advance. Therefore, CGMI has not included a balance sheet for its most recent fiscal year. CGMI is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability meet its contractual commitments to clients, nor has CGMI been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. B.5. Other Information CGMI has adopted an error policy aimed at ensuring the prompt and proper detection, reporting and correction of errors involving the accounts of CGMI clients. A trade error is deemed to have occurred when CGMI has: (i) purchased or sold an incorrect financial instrument in a client account; (ii) purchased or sold an incorrect amount of a financial instrument in a client account; (iii) purchased or sold an unauthorized or client restricted security in a client account; (iv) not entered an order for a client account that should have been entered; (v) entered an order for a client account more than once when it should have been entered once (duplicate trade); (vi) misallocated a trade in one or multiple client accounts; or (vii) made an operational mistake that requires market action to correct. The requirements of the error policy apply to the extent that CGMI and/or its affiliates has control of resolving errors for client accounts. To correct a trading error, CGMI generally effects a trade with a client using an error account in order to place the client in the position the client would have been in if the error had not occurred. CGMI will 29 receive no additional compensation and no other benefits from such trade. Gains from trading errors corrected after settlement date are not retained by CGMI and are credited to the client’s account at no expense to the client. Losses arising from pre-or post-settlement error corrections are closed out at no expense to the client. Losses arising from post-settlement error corrections in retirement accounts are credited to the client’s account with interest at the federal tax penalty rate. If a particular security is erroneously purchased for a client account and the error is discovered prior to settlement of the transaction, then the erroneously purchased security may be transferred to a separate CGMI error account at no cost to the client. Gains from trading errors that are corrected prior to settlement date are credited against losses resulting from errors on a quarterly basis. At the end of each quarter, net gains, if any, from trading errors that are corrected prior to settlement are remitted as a donation to a charity. 30

(“CGMI”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup Inc. is a publicly held company. CGMI commenced operations in February 1964. CGMI’s principal activities include retail and institutional private client services, such as advice with respect to financial markets, securities and commodities, and executing securities and commodities transactions as broker or dealer; securities underwriting and investment banking; investment management (including fiduciary and administrative services); and trading and holding securities and commodities for its own account. CGMI is registered as an investment adviser, a securities broker-dealer, a security-based swap dealer, a futures commission merchant, and as a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) swap dealer. CGMI is a member of all principal securities and commodities exchanges in the United States and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). In addition, it is a member of several principal foreign securities and commodities exchanges. Services Provided: Financial Planning CGMI offers a wide range of investment advisory services and brokerage services. This Brochure primarily describes an investment advisory service, the Citigroup Global Markets Inc./Citi Private Bank/Citi Global Wealth at Work Financial Planning Service (hereinafter referred to as “Financial Planning” or the “Financial Planning Program”). The Financial Planning Program is offered to CGMI clients of Citi Private Bank (“CPB”) and Citi Global Wealth at Work (“WaW”), businesses of Citigroup Inc. (“Citigroup”), which provide their clients access to a broad array of products and services available through bank and non-bank affiliates of Citigroup. Clients should read and consider carefully the information contained in this Brochure. While CGMI believes that its professional investment advice can work to benefit many clients, there is no assurance that the objectives of any client in any of the programs described herein will be achieved. Financial Planning is a self-contained investment advisory service, not a brokerage service, and is designed to provide a client with a comprehensive written financial plan tailored to the client’s individual financial circumstances (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan” or “Financial Plan”). Financial Planning helps a client to identify his or her financial objectives, analyzes the client’s current financial situation, and creates a Plan that provides recommendations as to how to implement the client’s objectives. 6 This advisory service is limited solely to the preparation and delivery of a Financial Plan to the client, and terminates either when CGMI delivers a Financial Plan to the client or as otherwise described upon notice or information received from CGMI. Once the Financial Plan is delivered, there is no further obligation on the part of the client or CGMI to implement the Financial Plan. The Financial Planning Program consists of the following elements: • The Financial Profile. Working with the client, a financial planner will develop a financial profile (referred to as the “Financial Profile”). The Financial Profile is designed to provide the financial planner with comprehensive information about each client’s financial situation. Generally, the Financial Profile contains information about the client’s current assets, liabilities, income sources, and expenditures, current tax status and future tax objectives, educational, retirement and other long-term financial goals, insurance requirements, and estate planning. • The Plan. Based on the information disclosed in the Financial Profile, CGMI will prepare a Plan. Each Plan is tailored to the individual needs of each client, but generally the Plan includes an analysis of the client’s current financial position, a summary of the client’s financial objectives that were identified in the Financial Profile (e.g., education, retirement, estate planning, and other long-term financial goals), and recommendations and an analysis regarding each of these financial objectives. The Plan uses planning and analysis software, models and programs licensed or obtained for use by CGMI from vendors or other third parties. Once the Plan is delivered, while a financial planner is available to assist the client, the client has the ultimate authority and responsibility for determining whether, when and how to implement any part of the Plan. Neither CGMI, CPB, WaW or their affiliates have any authority or obligation to implement the recommendations contained in the Plan unless the client separately engages CGMI, CPB or WaW to do so, and the client has no obligation to implement the Plan through CGMI, CPB, or WaW. CGMI relies on the client’s care, completeness and clarity in responding to the Financial Profile questionnaire, as the client’s responses will form the factual basis for preparing the Plan. The Financial Profile questionnaire calls for the client to disclose assets managed or maintained with other financial services firms (if any). CGMI is a full-line financial services firm, and the client’s financial planner may recommend that the client switch to using comparable or competitive services available through CGMI, for which CGMI would be compensated. 7 If the client chooses to implement any portion of the Plan through CGMI, CPB, or WaW, the client may choose to effect the transactions in an advisory account, a brokerage account, or a combination of both types of accounts. Clients should consult their financial planner to discuss these different types of accounts because they may be material to the type of service or relationship the client seeks to obtain with CGMI, CPB or WaW. There are several fundamental differences between brokerage services and advisory services, which may vary depending upon the characteristics of a particular service. CGMI is registered as both a broker-dealer and as an investment adviser under federal and state securities laws, and provides services in both capacities. For more information on the difference between an advisory account and a brokerage account, please refer to Form CRS at www.privatebank.citibank.com/adv. Brokerage services are transactional and primarily involve assisting a customer with purchases and sales of securities. We make recommendations to customers about buying, selling, and holding securities in brokerage accounts, but the customer makes final investment decisions for the account. We are obligated to make recommendations in the customer’s best interest, as required by Regulation Best Interest under the federal securities laws. We do not monitor any investments in brokerage accounts. For brokerage services, a customer pays a transaction-based fee, sometimes called a commission or a “load,” each time the customer buys or sells an investment. If a customer buys or sells an investment directly from CGMI, CGMI earns a profit on that transaction that sometimes is called a spread or mark-up or mark-down. Investment advisory services are provided on an ongoing basis and typically involve providing investment advice to meet a client’s comprehensive long- term financial goals. In most investment advisory account programs, clients grant CGMI or a third-party discretion to buy and sell investments without asking the client in advance. Other investment advisory accounts are non- discretionary and the client makes the final investment decisions for the account. The investment adviser for an account typically provides ongoing monitoring services for the account unless the relationship is limited in scope. For investment advisory services, CGMI typically charges an ongoing fee based on the value of the assets in the account. Specific advisory programs and brokerage accounts may differ in other ways, so it is important that the client read carefully the agreements and disclosures CGMI provides with respect to each CGMI product or service the client may consider in implementing its Financial Plan. Although CGMI is acting as a fiduciary under the federal securities laws by providing a Financial Plan through this Financial Planning service, neither CGMI, CPB, WaW, nor your financial planner is acting as a fiduciary for purposes of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) 8 or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) with respect to any ERISA-covered employee benefit plan, any other type of retirement plan (such as a SEP or a SIMPLE), or any individual retirement account in either the planning, execution or provision of this Financial Planning service. You acknowledge that, by providing a Financial Plan through this Financial Planning service, CGMI, CPB, WaW, their affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives, including your financial planner: (a) do not have discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets in any ERISA-covered employee benefit plan, any other type of retirement plan, or any individual retirement account included in this Financial Plan, (b) will not be deemed an “investment manager” as defined under ERISA, or otherwise have the authority to act as a “fiduciary” (as defined under ERISA) with respect to such assets, and (c) will not provide “investment advice,” as defined by ERISA and/or the Code, as amended, with respect to such assets and does not have a responsibility to do so. For more information about the Financial Planning Program and other investment advisory programs or brokerage accounts offered by CGMI, as well as assistance in determining which service may best be suited to your needs and objectives, the differences between investment advisory accounts and brokerage accounts, including potential conflicts of interest and your rights and CGMI’s obligations to you, please contact your private banker. Upon request, your private banker will provide you with a copy of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.’s Advisory Services Brochure regarding products offered to clients of CGMI, CPB and WaW. CGMI, CPB, WaW, and/or the financial planner also may provide to the client other services that are unrelated to the Plan during and after the client’s involvement in the Financial Planning Program. Any additional services will be provided under a separate agreement between CGMI, CPB or WaW, and the client. CGMI’s Advisory Services Clients may choose to implement their Financial Plans by opening an advisory account with CGMI. CGMI recommends and employs various investment strategies in providing investment management services, depending upon the services to be rendered and the objectives and guidelines of the client. Not all of these strategies are appropriate for all clients, however, and only those strategies believed to be suitable will be recommended in any given client account or advisory program. CGMI’s and its affiliates’ advisory programs may be based on a different methodology, and as a result, asset allocation or recommendations can differ from program to program. 9 Investment management services are available in the wrap fee programs we sponsor. We receive a wrap fee for those services and share a portion of that fee with the Financial Advisors who participate in the wrap programs. Please consult CGMI’s Investment Advisory Programs Brochure for more information. Tailored Advisory Services and Particular Investment Restrictions CGMI provides Financial Planning services tailored to the specific needs of individual clients (for more information, see “Item 4. Advisory Business – Services Provided: Financial Planning”). Because the asset allocation in a Plan does not recommend specific securities or holdings, CGMI does not ask clients for security-specific investment restrictions. Assets Under Management While this information does not apply to the Financial Planning services described in this Brochure, as of December 31, 2024 client assets managed on a discretionary basis totaled $27,501,715,525 and client assets managed on a non-discretionary basis totaled $19,369,231,050. Item 5. Fees and Compensation Fees Charged & Method of Payment of Fees No fee is charged to the client for participation in the Financial Planning Program. CGMI, CPB and WaW do not accept compensation from any third party in connection with providing services under the Financial Planning Program. Financial Planner Compensation Financial planners earn a salary and are eligible for a bonus. These bonuses are made at the discretion of management and are based on a variety of factors, including the financial planner's performance, the performance of the business, and the performance of Citigroup. Financial planners do not themselves recommend product sales necessary to implement financial plans, and are not paid a commission or other fee for such product sales. Nonetheless, to evaluate financial planner performance, WaW developed various quantitative metrics including product sales recommended by bankers, investment counselors and product specialists when a client chooses to implement a Financial Plan through CGMI. Those metrics also include the number of new Financial Plans completed and updated in a given year. The way WaW compensates financial planners creates a conflict of interest because financial planner compensation is influenced by product sales generated from the Financial Planning Program. 10 CPB and WaW Financial Adviser Compensation CPB and WaW financial advisers, including the bankers, investment counselors and product specialists who make recommendations to clients in connection with the implementation of the Financial Plan, receive a fixed base salary plus a discretionary annual bonus, which evaluates the employee’s performance over the entire year. To determine the bonus, CPB and WaW have established a balanced assessment model through a scorecard that incorporates a qualitative assessment based on talent management, partnership, leadership, participation in corporate initiatives, and adherence to Citi’s risk management and compliance requirements; and a quantitative assessment based on various financial metrics described below. Quantitative financial performance assessment is focused primarily on revenue growth, new client acquisition, asset growth, investment advisory account (managed investments) assets under management growth and net product sales (which subtracts client redemptions from gross sales). The scorecard also considers internal referral activity. The way CPB and WaW compensates financial advisers creates a conflict of interest because financial advisers receive compensation that is influenced by the revenue, asset growth and product sales that he or she generates. This conflict incentivizes financial advisers to generally recommend the purchase of additional products and services, and that clients increase their existing investment advisory account assets. These metrics, as they are based in part on net sales, also disincentivize recommendations to redeem products. Moreover, the scorecard weighs more heavily certain types of investment products and services over others, which creates an incentive to sell such products or services. For example, the conflict of interest arises because financial advisers earn more for selling products and services that generate ongoing revenue, such as investment advisory accounts. This compensation arrangement also provides financial advisers with an incentive to recommend that you open an advisory account instead of a brokerage account because advisory programs generally generate higher ongoing fee revenue than a brokerage relationship. Finally, the consideration of internal referral activity incentivizes financial advisers to recommend that clients purchase products and services from CGMI affiliates. While these financial performance measures are taken into account, financial advisers do not receive any direct percentage of the brokerage commissions or advisory revenue they generate. Other core factors on the scorecard include a measure of overall performance against the financial adviser’s goals and relative performance against peers in similar roles to determine a final performance rating. The ultimate decision to grant the bonus, and the value and form it takes, are in the sole discretion of management, and depends on factors as Citi’s overall performance, CPB and WaW’s performance, the financial adviser’s business or functional group’s performance, as well as the individual’s final performance rating. 11 Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management CGMI does not charge any fees, including performance-based fees, in the Financial Planning Program. Item 7. Types of Clients Clients are individuals, high net worth individuals, and other individuals who are clients or prospective clients of Citi Private Bank or Citi Global Wealth at Work. Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis & Strategies Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Investors should give careful consideration to the following risk factors detailed in this Item 8 and other product-specific information provided by the product or CGMI in evaluating the merits and suitability of any investment advisory products. The financial planning process begins with a Financial Profile. The client's risk tolerance is determined through a formal questionnaire or through the Investment Objective Statement (IOS). The client chooses an asset allocation based on their level of risk tolerance. The methodology used is based on the client’s current asset allocation, risk tolerance and other financial information, combined with the current strategic (i.e., projected) return estimates for various asset classes provided by the CGMI Global Chief Investments office. Strategic return estimates are generated based on proprietary formulas which include studying historic return averages on the broad market indices and making strategic adjustments for the more recent market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the forecaster. Rates of return and portfolio allocation will vary by client, depending on how they are currently allocated and their tolerance for risk. This can range from traditional only (e.g., Cash, Fixed Income, Equities) to asset allocation models which include alternatives (e.g., Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Real Estate and Commodities). Material Risks Related to Investment Strategies The following does not purport to be a comprehensive summary of all the risks and conflicts of interest associated with products that a client may use in implementing a Financial Plan. Not all types of securities and strategies are suitable for every client. Investing in securities involves risk that the client should be prepared to bear including potential loss of the entire 12 investment, including the principal. The Financial Planning Program described in this brochure is not insured by any agency. Asset Allocation Risk Asset allocation portfolios are dependent upon CGMI’s ability to make allocations and investment decisions that achieve a portfolio’s investment objective. There is a risk that CGMI’s evaluations and assumptions used in making such allocations may not achieve the objective, and that a portfolio may underperform its benchmark or other portfolios with similar investment objectives. Equity Risks Large-Cap Stocks: Stocks of large capitalization companies are subject to the basic market risk that a particular security, or securities in general, may decrease in value over short or even extended time periods. Large capitalization companies also face the risk that they may not be able to adapt to changing market conditions whether caused by changes in the industry, technology, consumer tastes or the regulatory environment. Mid-Cap Stocks: Investing in mid-cap stocks may involve greater risks than investing in larger, more established companies, including the risk of more volatile trading than with large-cap stocks. Mid-cap stocks are subject to market risks as are all equities. Small-Cap Stocks: Stocks of small-cap companies carry greater risk than investments in larger, more established companies. Asset classes based on small capitalization companies may be influenced by the companies’ lack of financial resources, product diversification and competitive strength versus larger companies. The securities of small capitalization companies may not trade as readily as, and may be subject to higher volatility than, those of larger, more established companies. Fixed Income Risks Fixed income securities are affected by fluctuations in interest rates, credit risk and prepayment risk. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the price of fixed income securities falls. Fixed income securities face credit risk if a decline in an issuer's credit rating, or creditworthiness, causes a bond's price to decline. High yield bonds are subject to additional risks such as increased risk of default and greater volatility because of the lower credit quality of the issues. Finally, bonds can be subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates fall, an issuer may choose to borrow money at a lower interest rate, while paying off its previously 13 issued bonds. As a consequence, the client will be forced to reinvest in a market where prevailing interest rates are lower than when the initial investment was made. Bonds can be subject to default risk, the possibility that a bond issuer will fail to pay principal or interest when due. Defaults can also occur for failure to meet nonpayment obligations, such as reporting requirements, or when a material problem occurs for the issuer, such as bankruptcy. Mutual Funds Mutual Fund investors should carefully consider the fund(s) investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The internal costs and expenses charged by a mutual fund are borne proportionately by its shareholders, and those expenses adversely affect investment performance. The prospectus contains this and other information about the fund(s). Read the prospectus carefully before you invest. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. Alternative Mutual Funds Risk Alternative mutual funds are publicly offered mutual funds that have many of the same protections as other registered investment companies but accomplish investment objectives through non-traditional investments and trading strategies. Alternative mutual funds are speculative and involve significant risks including but not limited to those associated with the use of derivative instruments for hedging or leverage, liquidity and volatility risks associated with distressed investments, liquidity risks associated with restrictions on securities purchased in an initial public offering or from privately held issuers, currency risk due to investments in or exposure to foreign assets or instruments, and risks associated with short selling of securities. International Risks International Investing: There are additional risks associated with international investing, including foreign, economic, political, monetary and/or legal factors, changing currency exchange rates, foreign taxes, and differences in financial and accounting standards. Adverse political events, financial problems, or natural disasters in a country or region will cause investments in that country or region to lose value. Emerging Markets The risks of investing in emerging or developing markets can be 14 substantially greater than the risks of investing in developed markets. There are additional risks associated with international investing, including foreign, economic, political, monetary and/or legal factors, changing currency exchange rates, foreign taxes, and differences in financial and accounting standards. These risks may be magnified in emerging markets. Alternative Investments Hedge Funds and Private Equity. Alternative investments such as Hedge Funds and Private Equity can be highly illiquid, speculative and not suitable for all investors. Investing in alternative investments is for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high economic risks associated with such an investment. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing. Certain of these risks include loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative practices; lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the fund and none is expected to develop; volatility of returns; restrictions on transferring interests in the fund; potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority when a single advisor is utilized; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; complex tax structures and delays in tax reporting; and less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds Some examples of alternative investments are hedge funds, private equity, structured products, mortgage/asset backed securities and managed futures. Real Estate Investment Trusts. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive, and environmental conditions. REITs may not be suitable for every investor. A REIT is not a guaranteed investment. Its value can go either up or down based on such factors as: the quality and income-generating potential of the properties held by the trust, interest rates and management. Real estate is sensitive to interest rates, so the value of REITs can be affected by the interest rate outlook. Additionally, the properties held by a trust need to be managed effectively if they are to generate good income. Commodities. Commodities may be more volatile than traditional securities. Their value may be affected by changes in overall market movements and by factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Because the value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity (such as heating oil, livestock, or agricultural products), a commodity futures 15 contract or commodity index, or some other readily measurable economic variable, the value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the underlying index, changes in interest rates, or the factors listed above that may affect a particular industry or commodity. Digital Asset Investment Products Risks Digital asset-related investment products (“Digital Asset Investment Products”), which may be used in implementing our investment advice, are products in which the issuer invests in, or the underlying reference asset is linked to, a “digital asset,” such as cryptocurrency assets. Investments in Digital Asset Investment Products are highly speculative, and the investment strategies typically involve a substantial degree of risk. The prices of digital assets, including bitcoin, have experienced higher levels of volatility relative to equity, commodity, and fixed income markets and may continue to do so. Digital assets and Digital Asset Investment Products are an emerging class of investment products and subject to unique risks, including, but not limited to: Valuation Risk: Most digital assets have no broadly accepted or standardized valuation methodologies in place. Digital assets and derivatives based on digital assets are subject to rapid price swings, including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media. A significant portion of the demand for digital assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from short- or long-term holdings. The Digital Asset Exchanges are largely unregulated, and some exchanges have been closed due to fraud, business failure or security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of such Digital Asset Exchanges were not compensated or made whole for the partial or complete losses of their account balances. Legal, Tax, and Regulatory Risks: Digital assets are largely unregulated as the regulatory requirements associated with digital assets continues to evolve. Given the brevity of blockchain-based digital assets’ existence, global regulatory, legal and tax regimes differ by jurisdiction and may change rapidly. Digital Asset Exchanges may also be subject to heightened regulatory requirements, including registration requirements, which may adversely affect their ability to continue operating as trading venues for digital assets. Such regulatory actions may also impact CGMI’s ability to continue servicing and/or transacting in Digital Asset Investment Products. Digital assets may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments. 16 Concentrated Strategy and Sector Risks Strategies that invest in a concentrated number of securities, a specific sector, or geographic region can be more volatile and present a greater risk of loss than a more diversified strategy and the stock market more generally. For example, when a strategy invests in a concentrated number of securities, a decline in the value of these securities would cause your overall account value to decline a greater degree than that of a less concentrated portfolio. Similarly, when a strategy invests primarily in a specific industry sector, an account invested in the strategy will perform poorly during an economic downturn in that sector. A strategy with investments concentrated in a particular country or region are more exposed to the risk of loss associated with adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in that country or region than more diversified strategies. In each case, account performance may deviate significantly from broad market indexes. Cybersecurity Risks CGMI, its affiliates, service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. They rely on computer programs to evaluate certain securities and other investments, to monitor their portfolios, to trade, clear and settle securities transactions, and to generate asset, risk management and other reports that are utilized in the oversight of their activities, among other things. In addition, certain of their operations interface with or depend on systems operated by third parties and they will not always be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third-party systems. These systems are susceptible to operational, informational security, and related risks that could adversely affect CGMI and the clients. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Like other financial services firms, CGMI experiences malicious cyber activity directed at its computer systems, software, networks and its users on a daily basis. This malicious activity includes attempts at unauthorized access, implantation of computer viruses or malware, and denial-of- service attacks. CGMI also experiences large volumes of phishing and other forms of social engineering attempted for the purpose of perpetrating fraud against CGMI, its associates, or its clients. Attacks also may be carried out by causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (making network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber incidents could cause disruptions and affect business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business or trade (including failure of trade settlements, inaccurate recording or 17 processing of trades, inaccurate client records, inability to monitor investments and risks), destruction to equipment and systems, loss or theft of investor data, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation or liability costs, or additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result from cyber incidents affecting the investments in which the Programs invest, including those affecting other investment managers, issuers of securities and other interests, brokers, dealers, exchanges, and other financial institutions and market operators. The increased use of mobile and cloud technologies, including as a result of the shift to work-from-home arrangements has heightened these and other operational risks, and any failure by CGMI’s mobile or cloud technology service providers to adequately safeguard the systems CGMI uses and prevent or quickly detect and remediate cyber attacks could disrupt CGMI’s operations and result in misappropriation, corruption or loss of confidential or propriety information. Global and Regional Events Risks Global and regional events such as war, terrorist attacks, political unrest, climate change, natural disasters, public health crises, and pandemics may cause substantial losses by, among other things: causing disruptions in global economic conditions; decreasing investor confidence; disrupting financial markets and the ability to conduct business activities; causing loss or displacement of employees; triggering large-scale technology failures or delays; and requiring substantial capital expenditures and operating expenses to remediate damage and restore operations. Inflation in the U.S. could continue or reaccelerate in the near- to medium-term. Further, heightened competition for workers, supply chain issues and rising energy and commodity prices have contributed to increasing wages and other inputs. Higher inflation and rising costs present material uncertainty with respect to investment performance. Current Russian military activities within Ukraine, resulting in international economic sanctions and other restrictive actions against Russia, and associated mounting tensions, are expected to result in material market volatility, have a materially negative impact on the economy and business activity globally, and therefore could materially adversely affect investment performance. Furthermore, the rapid and uncertain development of the current conflict between the two nations and the varying involvement of other countries, including the U.S. and other members of NATO, makes the ultimate adverse impact on global 18 economic and market conditions difficult to predict. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions and impacts on the markets for certain commodities, such as oil and natural gas, present material uncertainty and risk and could have a material adverse effect on issuers of securities and their respective businesses, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations and may cause the market value of such issuers to decline materially. Business Continuity Risk CGMI has business continuity plans that provide for continuity of critical operations and other activities during a variety of disruptions. They include client support responses such as conducting operations from alternate sites in different locations, if necessary, operating across multiple power grids or operating with self-generating facilities while maintaining the firm’s presence in the marketplace and servicing client accounts. Although these plans are designed to limit the impact on clients from such business interruptions, unforeseen circumstances may create situations where CGMI is unable to fully recover from a significant business interruption. CGMI believes its planning and implementation process reduces the risk in this area. Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Investing Risks An ESG strategy is limited in the types and number of investment opportunities available and, as a result, an ESG investment strategy may underperform other investment strategies that do not have an ESG focus. An ESG investment strategy may invest in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. Frameworks for ESG investing vary among investment advisers and funds as the definition of each factor is subjective. Therefore, the companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser as demonstrating ESG characteristics may not be the same companies selected by other index providers or investment advisers that use similar ESG screens. Further, an index provider or investment adviser may select companies based on a particular ESG factor or factors rather than a holistic assessment of a company’s ESG characteristics. In addition, companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser may not exhibit the ESG characteristics the index provider or investment adviser seeks to identify. Financial Services Industry Risks National and regional banks, financial institutions and other participants in the U.S. and global capital markets are closely interrelated as a result of 19 credit, trading, clearing, technology and other relationships. A significant adverse development (such as a bank run, insolvency, bankruptcy or default) with one or more national or regional banks, financial institutions or other participants in the financial or capital markets may spread to others and lead to significant concentrated or market-wide problems (such as defaults, liquidity problems, impairment charges, additional bank runs and/or losses) for other participants in these markets. Future developments, including actions taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, and systemic risk in the U.S. and global banking sectors and broader economies in general, are difficult to assess and quantify, and the form and magnitude of such developments or other actions of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board may remain unknown for significant periods of time and could have an adverse effect on investments. Tax-Loss Harvesting Risks Certain of CGMI’s advisory programs offer tax-loss harvesting strategies. Tax-loss harvesting involves a variety of risks. During certain market conditions, such as lower volatility periods and periods of strong economic growth, the manager’s ability to generate capital losses to offset capital gains may be limited, which would limit the account’s ability to implement its tax-loss harvesting strategy. In addition, because tax-loss harvesting continuously decreases the cost-basis of the account’s portfolio, there is a risk that opportunities to realize losses may decrease over time. Tax-loss harvesting may result in significant deviation from the model portfolio and may increase the account’s portfolio turnover rate. You should confer with your personal tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of investing prior to engaging in any tax-loss harvesting strategy, based on your particular circumstances. Neither CGMI nor any third-party investment manager assumes any responsibility to you for the tax consequences of any transaction. No tax- loss harvesting strategy is intended as tax advice, and neither CGMI nor any third-party investment manager represents in any manner that the tax consequences described will be obtained or that a “tax aware” investment strategy will result in any particular tax consequence. The tax consequences of tax-loss harvesting strategies are complex and may be subject to challenge by the IRS. No tax-loss harvesting strategy available in the Programs was developed to be used by, and it cannot be used by, any investor to avoid penalties or interest. You and your personal tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions in your account are reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority. You should be aware that if you and/or your spouse have other taxable or non-taxable accounts, and you hold in those accounts any of the securities 20 (including options contracts) held in an investment advisory account, you cannot trade any of those securities 30 days before or after the investment advisory account trades those same securities as part of the tax-loss harvesting strategy to avoid possible wash sales and, as a result, a nullification of any tax benefits of the strategy. It is your responsibility to monitor transactions across all of your accounts. When CGMI or a third-party investment manager replaces investments with “similar” investments as part of the tax-loss harvesting strategy, such investments are not guaranteed to perform similarly to the initial investment or lower an investor’s tax liability. Expected returns and risk characteristics are no guarantee of actual performance. The foregoing list of risk factors is not a complete explanation of the risks involved in an investment in securities. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Investors should give careful consideration to the risk factors detailed in this Item 8 and other product-specific information. Item 9. Disciplinary Information Below are summaries of certain legal and disciplinary events that may be material to clients and prospective clients. Additional information about legal and disciplinary events is available in Item 11 of our Form ADV, Part 1A, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. SEC Claims Related to ASTA/MAT and Falcon Funds On August 17, 2015, the SEC announced that Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC (“CAI”) and CGMI (collectively with CAI, the “Respondents”) agreed to a settlement of allegations that, in connection with the offer and sale of securities in two now-defunct hedge funds, (1) the Respondents willfully violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), (2) CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”), and (3) CAI willfully violated Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder (the “Order”). The SEC alleged that the Respondents violated the law in misrepresenting the hedge funds’ risks and performance. Without admitting or denying the findings contained in the Order, with the exception of the Commission’s jurisdiction over them and the subject matter of the proceedings, the Respondents agreed to the following sanctions: (a) Respondents to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (b) CGMI to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act, (c) CAI to 21 cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder, (d) Respondents to be censured, and (e) Respondents to pay disgorgement of $139,950,239 and prejudgment interest of $39,612,089. SEC Claims Related to Surveillance of Principal Trading On August 19, 2015, the SEC and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the SEC found, and CGMI neither admitted nor denied, that CGMI was in violation of Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder, in connection with CGMI’s surveillance of principal trading against certain restricted trading lists and principal trading by an affiliated market maker Automated Trading Desk Financial Services LLC (“ATD”) in managed accounts. The SEC found that CGMI failed to adopt and comply with adequate related policies and procedures. Pursuant to the settlement, CGMI agreed to (1) cease and desist from certain conduct, (2) a censure, (3) pay a civil penalty of $15 million and (4) comply with certain undertakings, including to continue to retain a consultant to conduct a comprehensive assessment of CGMI’s trade surveillance program and order handling in relation to transactions for which CGMI acts as an investment adviser. In determining to accept the settlement offer, the SEC considered the cooperation of, and certain remedial measures undertaken by CGMI, including (a) voluntarily retaining a consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of CGMI’s trade surveillance practices and to recommend improvements regarding CGMI’s policies and procedures and (b) voluntarily paying $2.5 million – representing ATD’s total profits from the principal transactions – to the affected advisory client accounts. SEC Claims Related to CitiFX Alpha Sold to MSSB Clients On January 24, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with the SEC related to a foreign exchange trading program known as “CitiFX Alpha,” which was sold to certain brokerage customers and advisory clients of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) during 2010 and 2011. At the time, CGMI held a 49% ownership interest in MSSB. The SEC alleged that CGMI omitted material information from investor presentations, including failure to disclose that a substantially higher leverage could be used than was disclosed and that mark-ups on trades would be charged, that caused the investors to suffer significant losses. Without admitting or denying the findings, CGMI agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act and pay disgorgement of $624,458.27, prejudgment interest of $89,277.34, and a civil money penalty of $2,250,000.00. 22 TRAK Fund Solution Settlements CGMI settled two matters relating to overcharges in certain advisory client accounts. The overcharges related primarily to the TRAK Fund Solution program, which CGMI offered between 1991 and 2011. On January 26, 2017, the SEC issued an Order finding that CGMI violated various provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by overcharging or causing to be overcharged approximately 60,000 advisory client accounts in the amount of $18 million and by failing to keep proper books and records with respect to maintenance of client contracts. Those overcharges had, at the time of the Order, been reimbursed with interest, to the extent they could be identified. Pursuant to the Order, CGMI agreed to pay disgorgement and pre-judgment interest in the amount of $4,000,000, pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $14,300,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the SEC and remedial actions to the extent not already implemented. Copies of the Order can be obtained at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2017/34-79882.pdf or from your CGMI representative. On January 12, 2017, the New York Attorney General’s Office (“NYAG”) and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the NYAG found that CGMI had violated the Martin Act and Executive Law § 63(12) by overcharging certain advisory client accounts. CGMI agreed to pay a monetary penalty in the amount of $1,000,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the NYAG. FINRA Claims Related to Research Ratings On December 28, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with FINRA. As part of that settlement, FINRA alleged that for a period of time, CGMI displayed (both internally and externally) inaccurate research ratings for certain equity securities. FINRA alleged that this inaccuracy, which resulted from errors in the electronic feed of ratings data that the firm provided to its clearing firm, caused CGMI to display the wrong rating for some covered securities (e.g., “buy” instead of “sell”), display ratings for other securities that CGMI was not actively covering at the time, and not display ratings for securities that CGMI, in fact, rated. FINRA also alleged that CGMI failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system and written supervisory procedures designed to ensure the accurate and complete dissemination of research ratings. Without admitting or denying the allegations, CGMI consented to a censure, a fine of $5.5 million, and an undertaking to pay compensation of at least $6 million to customers who were solicited to purchase or sell securities affected by the ratings display issues. 23 Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Registrations CGMI is registered as an investment adviser, securities broker-dealer and security-based swap dealer with the SEC and as a futures commission merchant and a swap dealer with the CFTC. Affiliates of CGMI are registered as investment advisers and broker-dealers and security-based swap dealers with the SEC, as well as with the CFTC as commodity pool operators and/or commodity trading advisers. CGMI is a member of all principal securities and commodities exchanges in the United States and FINRA. In addition, CGMI holds memberships or associate memberships on several principal foreign securities and commodities exchanges. CGMI Brokerage and Research Services Clients may choose to implement their Financial Plans by opening a brokerage account with CGMI. As a registered broker-dealer, CGMI regularly advises clients about, and executes transactions in, a wide variety of securities and other investments. It and its affiliates also act in a partnership capacity in a number of limited partnerships in which its clients may invest. As a futures commission merchant, CGMI also provides advice on commodities and commodity-related products. CGMI provides a wide range of research services to its clients, including reports, analyses, charts and graphs relating to various facets of the investment spectrum in equity and fixed income products. Research services generally are provided to clients on the assumption that the services generate commission or other business for CGMI. However, certain research services may be provided on a hard-dollar, fixed-fee basis and/or, in the case of firms that may re-sell such services, on a hard-dollar, royalty- fee basis. The amount or rate of any hard-dollar fee generally is negotiable. Material Relationships or Arrangements with Certain Related Persons CGMI has arrangements that are material to its advisory business or its clients with related persons who are broker-dealers, investment companies, other investment advisers, and banking or thrift institutions. Below is a description of such relationships and some of the conflicts of interest that arise from them. CGMI has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to appropriately prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest that may arise between CGMI and its affiliates. See also “Item 11- Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading” for additional information on conflicts of interest and related policies and procedures of CGMI. 24 Through its divisions, CGMI offers a wide variety of investment advisory services and programs. CGMI’s investment advisory services are available to individuals; multi-family offices, corporations, trusts, endowments, foundations, charitable organizations; pension and profit sharing plans, other businesses and governmental entities. The investment advisor affiliates of CGMI include, among others: Citi Global Alternatives, LLC; Citibank (Switzerland) A.G.; Citibank Canada Investment Funds Limited; Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC; Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited, Cititrust (Bahamas) Ltd.; Cititrust (Cayman) Ltd.; Cititrust (Jersey) Ltd.; Citigroup First Investment Management Limited; and Citibank Europe PLC. Additional information about CGMI’s affiliates is disclosed in response to Item 7.A of our Form ADV, Part 1A, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. CGMI and its affiliates provide a variety of services for various clients, including issuers of securities that CGMI may recommend for purchase or sale by clients. In addition, CGMI performs a wide range of investment banking services for various clients, and CGMI client holdings will include the securities of issuers for whom CGMI performs investment banking and other services. CGMI client portfolios also include securities in which CGMI makes a market or in which CGMI, its officers or employees have positions. CGMI and its affiliates receive compensation and fees in connection with the provision of the foregoing services. As part of an overall internal compliance program, CGMI has adopted policies and procedures imposing certain conditions and restrictions on transactions for CGMI’s own account or the accounts of its employees. Such policies and procedures are designed to prevent, among other things, any improper or abusive conduct when potential conflicts of interest may exist with respect to a customer or client. In addition, Citibank, an affiliate of CGMI, serves as an investment manager and qualified custodian in certain programs. In serving as a qualified custodian, Citibank utilizes certain back office services of its affiliates. Compensation from Investment Managers CGMI and its affiliates have trading, investment banking, prime brokerage, trustee, custody, and other business relationships with third party investment managers. These investment managers include the investment advisers for investment advisory programs recommended to clients by CGMI, in its capacity as an investment adviser. However, CGMI does not recommend or select investment managers and does not receive any direct or indirect compensation from any investment managers in connection with Financial Planning services. Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Employee Personal Trading and Fiduciary Code of Ethics 25 Employees and certain other persons who perform services that support the investment advisory business of CGMI are bound by the Personal Trading and Investment Policy (“PTIP Policy”) and the Fiduciary Code of Ethics (“Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics is designed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements including Rule 204A-1. Both the PTIP Policy and the Code of Ethics govern the trading of employees who support the investment advisory business of CGMI and the family members’ or related persons’ accounts over which the employee has investment discretion. Certain representatives within CGMI are considered covered persons under the PTIP Policy. The PTIP Policy governs the manner in which covered persons’ trading account information is made available to the firm’s compliance department and defines instances where pre-clearance or supervisory pre-approval is required. . Covered persons are subject to a number of restrictions including: 1) prohibition on conduct of personal trades in securities for which they are in possession of material, non-public information; 2) prohibition on securities noted on the firm’s restricted list; and 3) prohibition on trading in securities where new and material research has been published. Other restrictions exist with respect to “new issue”/public offerings and trading of Citigroup shares. Covered persons are further prohibited from engaging in market timing strategies with respect to mutual fund transactions in covered accounts. Certain supervisory staff are responsible for reviewing all personal trading activity of their covered employees for indications of improper trading activity and insider trading. The Code of Ethics describes the standards of business conduct for CGMI’s investment advisory business, including the fiduciary obligations owed to the clients and the obligation to comply with applicable laws. The Code of Ethics incorporates and is supplemented by other Citi policies and procedures, including policies and procedures designed to protect the flow of material non- public information and the confidentiality of client information and those imposing personal trading and investment restrictions, maintenance of personal securities trading accounts at CGMI, and reporting of personal securities holdings and transactions. The purposes of the Codes of Ethics and the related policies and procedures include minimizing potential conflicts of interests between employees and investment advisory clients and assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Each person covered under the Code of Ethics receives a copy of the Code of Ethics upon being designated as a covered person and annually thereafter. They must sign an attestation that indicates that they have read and understand such Code of Ethics. In conjunction with this attestation, all covered persons are required to report any violation or potential violation of which they might become aware. 26 A copy of CGMI’s Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client who mails a written request to: Citigroup Global Markets Inc. 153 East 53rd Street 24th Floor New York, NY 10022 Attention: Dana L. Platt, Chief Compliance Officer, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Investment Adviser Participation and Interest in Client Transactions CGMI and its affiliates could recommend securities in which they directly or indirectly have a financial interest and can also buy and sell securities that are recommended to clients for purchase and sale, at the same time or at different times. They also provide advice and take action in the performance of their duties to CGMI or clients that differs from advice given, or the timing and nature of action taken, for other clients’ Financial Plans or CGMI’s and its affiliates’ own accounts. In addition, CGMI, its affiliates, employees, including financial planners, are permitted to invest with other investment management firms. From time to time, CGMI imposes restrictions to address the potential for self-dealing by CGMI and conflicts of interest that arise in connection with CGMI’s broker-dealer and investment banking businesses. CGMI has adopted various procedures to guard against insider trading that include an “Information Barrier” procedure, pursuant to which information known within one area of CGMI (e.g., investment banking) is not permitted to be distributed to other areas (e.g., investment advisory), and use of a restricted list and various other monitoring lists. These investment banking or other activities will from time to time compel CGMI, its affiliates, or an overlay manager that provides portfolio implementation and overlay services in connection with the management of client accounts to forgo trading in the securities of companies with which these relationships exist. This has the potential to adversely impact the investment performance of a client’s account. Item 12. Brokerage Practices As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not execute trades for client accounts. CGMI does not utilize a client’s agency commission dollars to purchase research and other services (i.e., soft dollars). 27 Item 13. Review of Accounts As part of the Financial Planning Program, the client receives and reviews an initial plan. This Plan is reviewed by the financial advisor with the client to assist in the development of strategies designed to assist the client in meeting their goals. Appropriate changes to the Plan may be implemented based upon client feedback, resulting in the issuance of a final Plan. This final Plan is not subsequently reviewed or updated unless requested by the client. Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not compensate any person for referring clients to a financial planner to prepare a Financial Plan. CGMI does not receive any compensation from third parties in connection with preparing Financial Plans. Item 15. Custody As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not have custody of client assets and will not send account statements of any kind. In the event that clients open accounts with CGMI or a third party to implement their Financial Plans, they will receive account statements from their broker- dealer, bank or other qualified custodian. Clients should carefully review those statements and if they open an account with CGMI, compare account statements received from CGMI to those received from the qualified custodian. Item 16. Investment Discretion As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not have investment discretion. Item 17. Voting Client Securities As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not have authority to vote client shares. Item 18. Financial Information CGMI does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six months or more in advance. Therefore, CGMI has not included a balance sheet of its most recent fiscal year. CGMI is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability meet its contractual commitments to clients, nor has CGMI been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. 28

Material Changes Since our annual update filed on March 27, 2024, the following material changes were made: Item 5. Fees and Compensation We enhanced the description of the compensation arrangements we have with CGMI Financial Advisors, including CGMI Financial Advisors who make recommendations to clients in connection with the implementation of the financial plan, by adding a new subsection titled Financial Advisor Compensation. We updated the subsection on the compensation of CPWM Financial Advisors to describe that CGMI has established a recruitment program that creates a conflict of interest because CGMI provides recruitment compensation to certain newly associated CGMI Financial Advisors to assist with transitioning their business to CGMI. This compensation includes loans which are generally based on the CGMI Financial Advisor’s business at their prior firm, as well as the amount of investment assets from new clients, and quarterly bonuses based on attracting or maintaining certain amounts of assets under management and other criteria. This type of arrangement creates an incentive to recommend investing through advisory programs, including to transfer your account and investments to CGMI, to qualify for quarterly bonuses that could be used to repay the loans. Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss We enhanced the disclosures regarding risk factors, including risks associated with investment in digital asset investment products, which are subject to unique risks, and including alternative mutual funds and asset allocation risks. Item 14. Other Compensation We updated descriptions of various incentives offered to client or prospective clients from time to time and deleted descriptions of a discontinued referral program. In addition, we have made other changes that we do not consider to be material. [REMAINDER OF PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK] 2 Item 3. Table of Contents Item 1.

Advisory Business General Description Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”) is a wholly- owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. Citigroup Inc. is a publicly held company. CGMI commenced operations in February 1964. CGMI’s principal activities include retail and institutional private client services, such as advice with respect to financial markets, securities and commodities, and executing securities and commodities transactions as broker or dealer; securities underwriting and investment banking; investment management (including fiduciary and administrative services); and trading and holding securities and commodities for its own account. CGMI is registered as an investment adviser, a securities broker-dealer, a security-based swap dealer, a futures commission merchant, and as a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) swap dealer. CGMI is a member of all principal securities and commodities exchanges in the United States and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). In addition, it is a member of several principal foreign securities and commodities exchanges. Citi Personal Wealth Management (“CPWM”) is a business of Citigroup Inc., which offers investment products and services through CGMI. Services Provided: Financial Planning CGMI offers a wide range of investment advisory services and brokerage services. This Brochure primarily describes an investment advisory service, the Citigroup Global Markets Inc. Financial Planning Service offered through CPWM (hereinafter referred to as “Financial Planning” or the “Financial Planning Program”). Clients should read and consider carefully the information contained in this Brochure. While CGMI believes that its professional investment advice can work to benefit many clients, there is no assurance that the objectives of any client in any of the programs described herein will be achieved. Financial Planning is a self-contained investment advisory service, not a brokerage service, and is designed to provide a client with a written financial plan that considers the client’s individual financial circumstances (hereinafter referred to as the “Plan” or “Financial Plan”). Financial Planning helps a client to identify his or her financial objectives, analyzes the client’s current financial situation, and creates a Plan that provides recommendations as to how to implement the client’s objectives. This advisory service is limited solely to the preparation and delivery of a Financial Plan to the client, and terminates either when CGMI delivers a Financial Plan to the client or as otherwise described upon notice or information received from CGMI. Once the Financial Plan is delivered, there is no further obligation on the part of the client or CGMI to implement the Financial Plan. The Financial Planning Program consists of the following elements: • The Financial Profile. With the assistance of a CGMI investment advisor representative (“Financial Advisor”), the client will complete a personal financial profile (referred to as the “Financial Profile” or “Profile”). The Financial Profile is designed to provide the Financial Advisor with comprehensive information about each client’s financial situation. Generally, the Financial Profile contains information about the client’s current assets, liabilities, income sources, and expenditures, current tax status and future tax objectives, educational, retirement and other long-term financial goals, insurance requirements, and estate planning. • The Plan. Based on the information disclosed in the Financial Profile, CGMI will prepare a Financial Plan. Each Plan is tailored to the individual needs of each client, but generally the Plan includes an analysis of the client’s current financial position, a summary of the client’s financial objectives that were identified in the Financial Profile (e.g., education, retirement, estate planning, and other long-term financial goals), and recommendations and an analysis regarding each of these financial objectives. The Plan uses planning and analysis software, models and programs licensed or obtained for use by CGMI from vendors or other third parties. 4 Once the Plan is delivered, while a Financial Advisor is available to assist the client, the client has the ultimate authority and responsibility for determining whether, when and how to implement any part of the Plan. Neither CGMI nor CPWM or its affiliates has any authority or obligation to implement the recommendations contained in the Plan unless the client separately engages CGMI through CPWM to do so, and the client has no obligation to implement the Plan through CGMI or CPWM. CGMI relies on the client’s care, completeness and clarity in responding to the Financial Profile questionnaire, as the client’s responses will form the factual basis for preparing the Plan. The Financial Profile questionnaire may call for the client to disclose assets managed or maintained with other financial services firms. CGMI is a full-line financial services firm, and the client’s Financial Advisor may recommend that the client switch to using comparable or competitive services available through CGMI, for which CGMI would be compensated. If the client chooses to engage CGMI for other services, a portion of the fees or commissions charged by CGMI for those other services are paid to the Financial Advisor for introducing accounts as well as providing supplemental and other client-related services. These payments are made for the duration of the client accounts. See “Item 5. Fees and Compensation.” • If the client chooses to implement any portion of the Plan through CGMI or CPWM, the client may choose to affect the transactions in an advisory account, a brokerage account, or a combination of both types of accounts. Clients should consult their Financial Advisor to discuss these differences because they may be material to the type of service or relationship the client seeks to obtain with CGMI or CPWM. There are several fundamental differences between brokerage services and advisory services, which may vary depending upon the characteristics of a particular service. CGMI is registered as both a broker-dealer and as an investment adviser under federal and state securities laws and provides services in both capacities. For more information on the difference between an advisory account and a brokerage account, please refer to Form CRS at www.citi.com/investorinfo/advisoryprivacy. Brokerage services are transactional and primarily involve assisting a customer with purchases and sales of securities. We make recommendations to customers about buying, selling, and holding securities in brokerage accounts, but the customer makes final investment decisions for the account. We are obligated to make recommendations in the customer’s best interest, as required by Regulation Best Interest under the federal securities laws. We do not monitor any investments in brokerage accounts. For brokerage services, a customer pays a transaction-based fee, sometimes called a commission or a “load,” each time the customer buys or sells an investment. If a customer buys or sells an investment directly from CGMI, CGMI earns a profit on that transaction that sometimes is called a spread or mark-up or mark-down. Investment advisory services are provided on an ongoing basis and typically involve providing investment advice to meet a client’s comprehensive long-term financial goals. In most investment advisory account programs, clients grant CGMI or a third-party discretion to buy and sell investments without asking the client in advance. Other investment advisory accounts are non- discretionary and the client makes the final investment decisions for the account. The investment adviser for an account typically provides ongoing monitoring services for the account unless the relationship is limited in scope. For investment advisory services, CGMI typically charges an ongoing fee based on the value of the assets in the account. Specific advisory programs and brokerage accounts may differ in other ways, so it is important that the client read carefully the agreements and disclosures CGMI provides with respect to each CGMI product or service the client may consider in implementing its Financial Plan. Although CGMI is acting as a fiduciary under the federal securities laws, by providing a Financial Plan through this Financial Planning service, neither CGMI, CPWM, nor your Financial Advisor is acting as a fiduciary for purposes of Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) with respect to any ERISA-covered employee benefit plan, any other type of retirement plan (such as a SEP or a SIMPLE), or any individual retirement account in either the planning, execution or provision of this Financial Planning service. You acknowledge that, by providing a Financial Plan through this Financial Planning service, CGMI, CPWM, its affiliates and their respective employees, agents and representatives, including your Financial Advisor: (a) do not have discretionary authority or control with respect to the assets in any ERISA-covered employee benefit plan, any other type of retirement plan, or any individual retirement account included in this Financial Plan, (b) will not be deemed an “investment manager” as defined under ERISA, or otherwise have the authority to 5 act as a “fiduciary” (as defined under ERISA) with respect to such assets, and (c) will not provide “investment advice,” as defined by ERISA and/or the Code, as amended, with respect to such assets and does not have a responsibility to do so. For more information about the Financial Planning Program and other investment advisory programs or brokerage accounts offered by CGMI, as well as assistance in determining which service may best be suited to your needs and objectives, the differences between investment advisory accounts and brokerage accounts, including potential conflicts of interest and your rights and CGMI’s obligations to you, please contact your Financial Advisor. Upon request, your Financial Advisor will provide you with a copy of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.’s Investment Advisory Programs Brochure regarding products offered to clients of CGMI and CPWM. CGMI, CPWM and/or the Financial Advisor also may provide to the client other services that are unrelated to the Plan during and after the client’s involvement in the Financial Planning Program. Any additional services will be provided under a separate agreement between CGMI or CPWM and the client. CGMI’s Advisory Services Clients may choose to implement their Financial Plans by opening an advisory account with CGMI. CGMI recommends and employs various investment strategies in providing investment management services, depending upon the services to be rendered and the objectives and guidelines of the client. Not all of these strategies are appropriate for all clients, however, and only those strategies believed to be suitable will be recommended in any given client account or advisory program. CGMI’s and its affiliates’ advisory programs may be based on a different methodology, and as a result, asset allocation or recommendations can differ from program to program. Investment management services are available in the wrap fee programs we sponsor. We receive a wrap fee for those services and share a portion of that fee with the Financial Advisors who participate in the wrap programs. Please consult CGMI’s Investment Advisory Programs Brochure for more information. Tailored Advisory Services and Particular Investment Restrictions CGMI provides Financial Planning services tailored to the specific needs of individual clients (for more information, see “Item 4. Advisory Business – Services Provided: Financial Planning”). Because the asset allocation in a Plan does not recommend specific securities or holdings, CGMI does not ask clients for security-specific investment restrictions. Wrap Fee Programs The Financial Planning Program is not offered as a wrap fee program. Assets Under Management While this information does not apply to the Financial Planning services described in this Brochure, as of December 31, 2024, client assets managed on a discretionary basis totaled $27,501,715,525 and client assets managed on a non-discretionary basis totaled $19,369,231,050. Item 5. Fees and Compensation Fees Charged & Method of Payment of Fees No fee is charged to the client for participation in the Financial Planning Program. CGMI and CPWM do not receive any compensation from third parties in connection with preparing Financial Plans or in connection with providing services under the Financial Planning Program. However, if a client chooses to engage CGMI for other advisory or brokerage services (or CGMI affiliates for insurance services), CGMI will pay a portion of the service fees or commissions it charges (or that it captures through its affiliates for insurance services) to the Financial Advisor for introducing accounts and providing client-related services. CGMI may make these payments for the duration of the client accounts. 6 Financial Advisor Compensation Financial Advisors receive monthly salary plus variable compensation credits. Credits are based largely upon brokerage and investment advisory revenue, as well as investment advisory assets under management. Other components are considered, including, but not limited to, credits related to mortgage referrals, securities-based lending including non-purpose loans and margin loans. Because Financial Advisors receive compensation that is tied, directly or indirectly, to the advisory revenue he or she generates, including the level of account assets under management, Financial Advisors have incentives to make recommendations and encourage clients to take actions that generate additional revenues and that conflict with a client’s interest to minimize the fees and expenses the client incurs. CGMI has established a recruitment compensation program under which newly associated Financial Advisors for CPWM accounts of CGMI (“CPWM Financial Advisor”) are eligible for loan and bonus compensation. The amount of compensation received by eligible CPWM Financial Advisors is substantial as an incentive to join CGMI. Under the program, we make loans to assist financial advisors in the transition of their business to CGMI. The size of the loans is generally based on the financial advisor’s business at their prior firm, as well as the amount of investment assets from new clients within the first two years of employment at CGMI. Those loans are for terms up to 9 years and are repaid on a monthly basis. In addition, we make variable compensation payments in the form of quarterly bonuses, which could be used to repay the loans. The bonuses are based on the financial advisor attracting or maintaining certain amounts of assets under management and other criteria, including meeting our risk management and compliance requirements. A financial advisor that fails to meet the eligibility criteria to receive quarterly bonuses or that terminates their relationship with CGMI is required to repay the loan out of their own assets. The CPWM Financial Advisor recruitment compensation program described above is in addition to the compensation that participating CPWM Financial Advisors are otherwise entitled to and creates a conflict with client interests because these Financial Advisors have an incentive to recommend investing through advisory programs, including to transfer your account to CGMI and switch investment products or services where a client’s current investment options are not available through CGMI, with respect to the type of account you open, the amount of assets you invest and the types of product or service they recommend, to qualify for the bonus compensation to repay their loans. CGMI and the CPWM Financial Advisors seek to mitigate these conflicts by disclosing them to you, and by following procedures that we believe are reasonably designed to ensure that our recommendations are in your best interest. CGMI, All Financial Advisors, and Employees of CGMI Affiliates Compensation The amount of the fees received by CGMI, CGMI Financial Advisors, and employees of CGMI affiliates are greater, depending upon (among other factors) (i) whether the client participates in an asset-based fee investment advisory program instead of paying separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services, (ii) whether the client’s portfolio is managed by an investment manager affiliated with CGMI rather than an unaffiliated investment manager and/or (iii) the advisory program, investment managers, and the investment styles selected by the client. Furthermore, based, among other things, on earning more fees and an increase in the amount of assets under management of CGMI and its affiliates, CGMI will have an incentive to treat affiliated investment managers more favorably than unaffiliated investment managers, which creates a conflict of interest with our clients and could result in CGMI recommending affiliated investment managers more frequently than unaffiliated investment managers. Because of these factors, CGMI, CGMI Financial Advisors and employees of CGMI affiliates have a financial incentive: (i) to recommend one advisory program (such as a CGMI Program using an affiliated investment manager or where the CGMI Financial Advisor serves as portfolio manager) over another advisory program (such as a CGMI Program where the client is charged a third- party investment manager fee); (ii) to recommend an unaffiliated investment manager that charges the client a lower fee than another unaffiliated investment manager that charges a higher fee for a similar strategy; and (iii) to recommend themselves or an affiliated investment manager over an unaffiliated investment manager. CGMI earns fees or other income for services other than investment advisory services, including, among other things, permitting qualifying clients to take out loans that are secured by the assets in the client’s account (for more information, consult CGMI’s 7 Investment Advisory Programs Brochure). CGMI Financial Advisors also offer products and services other than investment advisory services. The amount of compensation they receive for advisory services is either more or less than compensation received for non- advisory products and services. These arrangements present conflicts of interest because CGMI and CGMI Financial Advisors have a financial incentive to offer clients non-advisory products and services that increase the overall compensation received. Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management CGMI does not charge any fees, including performance-based fees, in the Financial Planning Program. Item 7. Types of Clients Clients generally are individuals with $200,000 or more in net worth and other individuals who are clients or prospective clients of CPWM. Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis & Strategies Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Investors should give careful consideration to the following risk factors detailed in this Item 8 and other product-specific information provided by the product or CGMI in evaluating the merits and suitability of any Investment Advisory products. The Financial Planning Program begins with a Financial Profile, which is completed by the client with the assistance of a Financial Advisor. The Profile contains information such as the client’s current assets, liabilities, income sources, and expenditures, current tax status and future tax objectives, educational, retirement and other long-term goals. The client’s risk tolerance is also determined through a Profile questionnaire in which the client answers questions such as the client’s time horizon, knowledge of investments, investment objectives, intended use of the funds, tolerance with respect to fluctuations in value, and alternative investments. Based upon a client’s answers, a model asset allocation portfolio is created for the client. The type of model portfolio can range from traditional asset allocation models (e.g., Cash, Fixed Income, Equities) to asset allocation models which include Alternatives (e.g., Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Real Estate Investments and Commodities). Upon completion of a client’s Profile including, as applicable, a risk tolerance questionnaire, the Plan is created. The Plan is tailored to the individual needs of each client, but generally includes a current financial position, a summary and analysis of financial objectives, a proposed asset allocation model and recommended solutions to help clients achieve their goals. All CPWM Financial Advisor calculations use asset class returns, not returns of actual investments. The projected return assumptions used in the Financial Plan are estimates based on average annual returns for each asset class. The portfolio returns are calculated by weighting individual return assumptions for each asset class according to your portfolio allocation. Additional detail regarding the methodology and assumptions underlying the Financial Plan will be provided in the Financial Plan document. Material Risks Related to Investment Strategies The following does not purport to be a comprehensive summary of all the risks and conflicts of interest associated with products that a client may use in implementing a Financial Plan. Not all types of securities and strategies are suitable for every client. Investing in securities involves risk that the client should be prepared to bear, including potential loss of the entire investment, including the principal. The Financial Planning Program described in this brochure is not insured by any agency. Asset Allocation Risk Asset allocation portfolios are dependent upon CGMI’s ability to make allocations and investment decisions that achieve a portfolio’s investment objective. There is a risk that CGMI’s evaluations and assumptions used in making such allocations may not achieve the objective, and that a portfolio may underperform its benchmark or other portfolios with similar investment objectives. 8 Equity Risks Large-Cap Stocks: Stocks of large capitalization companies are subject to the basic market risk that a particular security, or securities in general, may decrease in value over short or even extended time periods. Large capitalization companies also face the risk that they may not be able to adapt to changing market conditions whether caused by changes in the industry, technology, consumer tastes or the regulatory environment. Mid-Cap Stocks: Investing in mid-cap stocks may involve greater risks than investing in larger, more established companies, including the risk of more volatile trading than with large-cap stocks. Mid-cap stocks are subject to market risks as are all equities. Small-Cap Stocks: Stocks of small-cap companies carry greater risk than investments in larger, more established companies. Asset classes based on small capitalization companies may be influenced by the companies’ lack of financial resources, product diversification and competitive strength versus larger companies. The securities of small capitalization companies may not trade as readily as, and may be subject to higher volatility than, those of larger, more established companies. Fixed Income Risks Fixed income securities are affected by fluctuations in interest rates, credit risk and prepayment risk. Fixed income investments are subject to interest rate risk. As interest rates rise, the price of fixed income securities falls. Fixed income securities face credit risk if a decline in an issuer's credit rating, or creditworthiness, causes a bond's price to decline. High yield bonds are subject to additional risks such as increased risk of default and greater volatility because of the lower credit quality of the issues. Finally, bonds can be subject to prepayment risk. When interest rates fall, an issuer may choose to borrow money at a lower interest rate, while paying off its previously issued bonds. As a consequence, the client will be forced to reinvest in a market where prevailing interest rates are lower than when the initial investment was made. Bonds can be subject to default risk, the possibility that a bond issuer will fail to pay principal or interest when due. Defaults can also occur for failure to meet nonpayment obligations, such as reporting requirements, or when a material problem occurs for the issuer, such as bankruptcy. Mutual Funds Mutual Fund investors should carefully consider the fund(s) investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses carefully before investing. The internal costs and expenses charged by a mutual fund are borne proportionately by its shareholders, and those expenses adversely affect investment performance. The prospectus contains this and other information about the fund(s). Read the prospectus carefully before you invest. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Alternative Mutual Funds Risk Alternative mutual funds are publicly offered mutual funds that have many of the same protections as other registered investment companies but accomplish investment objectives through non-traditional investments and trading strategies. Alternative mutual funds are speculative and involve significant risks including but not limited to those associated with the use of derivative instruments for hedging or leverage, liquidity and volatility risks associated with distressed investments, liquidity risks associated with restrictions on securities purchased in an initial public offering or from privately held issuers, currency risk due to investments in or exposure to foreign assets or instruments, and risks associated with short selling of securities. International Risks International Investing: There are additional risks associated with international investing, including foreign, economic, political, monetary and/or legal factors, changing currency exchange rates, foreign taxes, and differences in financial and accounting standards. Adverse political events, financial problems, or natural disasters in a country or region will cause investments in that country or region to lose value. 9 Emerging Markets The risks of investing in emerging or developing markets can be substantially greater than the risks of investing in developed markets. There are additional risks associated with international investing, including foreign, economic, political, monetary and/or legal factors, changing currency exchange rates, foreign taxes, and differences in financial and accounting standards. These risks may be magnified in emerging markets. Alternative Investments Hedge Funds and Private Equity. Alternative investments such as Hedge Funds and Private Equity can be highly illiquid, speculative and not suitable for all investors. Investing in alternative investments is for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high economic risks associated with such an investment. Investors should carefully review and consider potential risks before investing. Certain of these risks include, loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment due to leveraging, short-selling, or other speculative practices; lack of liquidity in that there may be no secondary market for the fund and none is expected to develop; volatility of returns; restrictions on transferring interests in the fund; potential lack of diversification and resulting higher risk due to concentration of trading authority when a single advisor is utilized; absence of information regarding valuations and pricing; complex tax structures and delays in tax reporting; and less regulation and higher fees than mutual funds. Some examples of alternative investments are hedge funds, private equity, structured products, mortgage/asset backed securities and managed futures. Real Estate Investment Trusts. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) are subject to special risk considerations similar to those associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Real estate valuations may be subject to factors such as changing general and local economic, financial, competitive, and environmental conditions. REITs may not be suitable for every investor. A REIT is not a guaranteed investment. Its value can go either up or down based on such factors as: the quality and income- generating potential of the properties held by the trust, interest rates and management. Real estate is sensitive to interest rates so the value of REITs can be affected by the interest rate outlook. Additionally, the properties held by a trust need to be managed effectively if they are to generate good income. Commodities. Commodities may be more volatile than traditional securities. Their value may be affected by changes in overall market movements and by factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political and regulatory developments. Because the value of a commodity-linked derivative investment typically is based upon the price movements of a physical commodity (such as heating oil, livestock, or agricultural products), a commodity futures contract or commodity index, or some other readily measurable economic variable, the value of commodity-linked derivative instruments may be affected by changes in overall market movements, volatility of the underlying index, changes in interest rates, or the factors listed above that may affect a particular industry or commodity. Digital Asset Investment Products Risks Digital asset-related investment products (“Digital Asset Investment Products”), which may be used in implementing our investment advice, are products in which the issuer invests in, or the underlying reference asset is linked to, a “digital asset,” such as cryptocurrency assets. Investments in Digital Asset Investment Products are highly speculative, and the investment strategies typically involve a substantial degree of risk. The prices of digital assets, including bitcoin, have experienced higher levels of volatility relative to equity, commodity, and fixed income markets and may continue to do so. Digital assets and Digital Asset Investment Products are an emerging class of investment products and subject to unique risks, including, but not limited to: Valuation Risk: Most digital assets have no broadly accepted or standardized valuation methodologies in place. Digital assets and derivatives based on digital assets are subject to rapid price swings, including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media. A significant portion of the demand for digital assets is generated by speculators and investors seeking to profit from short- or long-term holdings. The Digital Asset Exchanges are largely unregulated, and some exchanges 10 have been closed due to fraud, business failure or security breaches. In many of these instances, the customers of such Digital Asset Exchanges were not compensated or made whole for the partial or complete losses of their account balances. Legal, Tax, and Regulatory Risks: Digital assets are largely unregulated as the regulatory requirements associated with digital assets continues to evolve. Given the brevity of blockchain-based digital assets’ existence, global regulatory, legal and tax regimes differ by jurisdiction and may change rapidly. Digital Asset Exchanges may also be subject to heightened regulatory requirements, including registration requirements, which may adversely affect their ability to continue operating as trading venues for digital assets. Such regulatory actions may also impact CGMI’s ability to continue servicing and/or transacting in Digital Asset Investment Products. Digital assets may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments. Concentrated Strategy and Sector Risks Strategies that invest in a concentrated number of securities, a specific sector, or geographic region can be more volatile and present a greater risk of loss than a more diversified strategy and the stock market more generally. For example, when a strategy invests in a concentrated number of securities, a decline in the value of these securities would cause your overall account value to decline a greater degree than that of a less concentrated portfolio. Similarly, when a strategy invests primarily in a specific industry sector, an account invested in the strategy will perform poorly during an economic downturn in that sector. A strategy with investments concentrated in a particular country or region are more exposed to the risk of loss associated with adverse securities markets, exchange rates and social, political, regulatory or economic events which may occur in that country or region than more diversified strategies. In each case, account performance may deviate significantly from broad market indexes. Cybersecurity Risks CGMI, its affiliates, service providers, and other market participants increasingly depend on complex information technology and communications systems to conduct business functions. They rely on computer programs to evaluate certain securities and other investments, to monitor their portfolios, to trade, clear and settle securities transactions, and to generate asset, risk management and other reports that are utilized in the oversight of their activities, among other things. In addition, certain of their operations interface with or depend on systems operated by third parties and they will not always be in a position to verify the risks or reliability of such third-party systems. These systems are susceptible to operational, informational security, and related risks that could adversely affect CGMI and the clients. Cyber incidents can result from deliberate or unintentional events and may arise from external or internal sources. Like other financial services firms, CGMI experiences malicious cyber activity directed at its computer systems, software, networks and its users on a daily basis. This malicious activity includes attempts at unauthorized access, implantation of computer viruses or malware, and denial-of-service attacks. CGMI also experiences large volumes of phishing and other forms of social engineering attempted for the purpose of perpetrating fraud against CGMI, its associates, or its clients. Attacks also may be carried out by causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (making network services unavailable to intended users). Cyber incidents could cause disruptions and affect business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, the inability to transact business or trade (including failure of trade settlements, inaccurate recording or processing of trades, inaccurate client records, inability to monitor investments and risks), destruction to equipment and systems, loss or theft of investor data, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation or liability costs, or additional compliance costs. Similar adverse consequences could result from cyber incidents affecting the investments in which the Programs invest, including those affecting other investment managers, issuers of securities and other interests, brokers, dealers, exchanges, and other financial institutions and market operators. The increased use of mobile and cloud technologies, including as a result of the shift to work-from-home arrangements as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened these and other operational risks, and any failure by CGMI’s mobile or cloud technology service providers to adequately safeguard the systems CGMI uses and prevent or quickly detect and remediate cyber attacks could disrupt CGMI’s operations and result in misappropriation, corruption or loss of confidential or propriety information. 11 Global and Regional Events Risks Global and regional events such as war, terrorist attacks, political unrest, climate change, natural disasters, public health crises, and pandemics may cause substantial losses by, among other things: causing disruptions in global economic conditions; decreasing investor confidence; disrupting financial markets and the ability to conduct business activities; causing loss or displacement of employees; triggering large-scale technology failures or delays; and requiring substantial capital expenditures and operating expenses to remediate damage and restore operations. Inflation in the U.S. could continue or reaccelerate in the near- to medium-term. Further, heightened competition for workers, supply chain issues and rising energy and commodity prices have contributed to increasing wages and other inputs. Higher inflation and rising costs present material uncertainty with respect to investment performance. Current Russian military activities within Ukraine, resulting in international economic sanctions and other restrictive actions against Russia, and associated mounting tensions, are expected to result in material market volatility, have a materially negative impact on the economy and business activity globally, and therefore could materially adversely affect investment performance. Furthermore, the rapid and uncertain development of the current conflict between the two nations and the varying involvement of other countries, including the U.S. and other members of NATO, makes the ultimate adverse impact on global economic and market conditions difficult to predict. Any of the above factors, including sanctions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars and other governmental actions and impacts on the markets for certain commodities, such as oil and natural gas, present material uncertainty and risk and could have a material adverse effect on issuers of securities and their respective businesses, financial conditions, cash flows and results of operations and may cause the market value of such issuers to decline materially. Business Continuity Risk CGMI has business continuity plans that provide for continuity of critical operations and other activities during a variety of disruptions. They include client support responses such as conducting operations from alternate sites in different locations, if necessary, operating across multiple power grids or operating with self-generating facilities while maintaining the firm’s presence in the marketplace and servicing client accounts. Although these plans are designed to limit the impact on clients from such business interruptions, unforeseen circumstances may create situations where CGMI is unable to fully recover from a significant business interruption. CGMI believes its planning and implementation process reduces the risk in this area. Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Investing Risks An ESG strategy is limited in the types and number of investment opportunities available and, as a result, an ESG investment strategy may underperform other investment strategies that do not have an ESG focus. An ESG investment strategy may invest in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or underperform other funds screened for ESG standards. Frameworks for ESG investing vary among investment advisers and funds as the definition of each factor is subjective. Therefore, the companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser as demonstrating ESG characteristics may not be the same companies selected by other index providers or investment advisers that use similar ESG screens. Further, an index provider or investment adviser may select companies based on a particular ESG factor or factors rather than a holistic assessment of a company’s ESG characteristics. In addition, companies selected by an index provider or investment adviser may not exhibit the ESG characteristics the index provider or investment adviser seeks to identify. Financial Services Industry Risks National and regional banks, financial institutions and other participants in the U.S. and global capital markets are closely interrelated as a result of credit, trading, clearing, technology and other relationships. A significant adverse development (such as a bank run, insolvency, bankruptcy or default) with one or more national or regional banks, financial institutions or 12 other participants in the financial or capital markets may spread to others and lead to significant concentrated or market- wide problems (such as defaults, liquidity problems, impairment charges, additional bank runs and/or losses) for other participants in these markets. Future developments, including actions taken by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, and systemic risk in the U.S. and global banking sectors and broader economies in general, are difficult to assess and quantify, and the form and magnitude of such developments or other actions of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, FDIC and Federal Reserve Board may remain unknown for significant periods of time and could have an adverse effect on investments. Tax-Loss Harvesting Risks We offer tax-loss harvesting through certain of our advisory programs. Tax-loss harvesting involves a variety or risks. During certain market conditions, such as lower volatility periods and periods of strong economic growth, the manager’s ability to generate capital losses to offset capital gains may be limited, which would limit the account’s ability to implement its tax-loss harvesting strategy. In addition, because tax-loss harvesting continuously decreases the cost-basis of the account’s portfolio, there is a risk that opportunities to realize losses may decrease over time. Tax-loss harvesting may result in significant deviation from the model portfolio and may increase the account’s portfolio turnover rate. You should confer with your personal tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of investing prior to engaging in any tax-loss harvesting strategy, based on your particular circumstances. Neither CGMI nor any third-party investment manager assumes any responsibility to you for the tax consequences of any transaction. No tax-loss harvesting strategy is intended as tax advice, and neither CGMI nor any third-party investment manager represents in any manner that the tax consequences described will be obtained or that a “tax aware” investment strategy will result in any particular tax consequence. The tax consequences of tax-loss harvesting strategies are complex and may be subject to challenge by the IRS. No tax-loss harvesting strategy available in CGMI investment advisory programs was developed to be used by, and it cannot be used by, any investor to avoid penalties or interest. You and your personal tax advisors are responsible for how the transactions in your account are reported to the IRS or any other taxing authority. You should be aware that if you and/or your spouse have other taxable or non-taxable accounts, and you hold in those accounts any of the securities (including options contracts) held in an investment advisory account, you cannot trade any of those securities 30 days before or after the investment advisory account trades those same securities as part of the tax-loss harvesting strategy to avoid possible wash sales and, as a result, a nullification of any tax benefits of the strategy. It is your responsibility to monitor transactions across all of your accounts. When CGMI or a third-party investment manager replaces investments with “similar” investments as part of the tax-loss harvesting strategy, such investments are not guaranteed to perform similarly to the initial investment or lower an investor’s tax liability. Expected returns and risk characteristics are no guarantee of actual performance. The foregoing list of risk factors is not a complete explanation of the risks involved in an investment in securities. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Investors should give careful consideration to the risk factors detailed in this Item 8 and other product-specific information. Item 9. Disciplinary Information Below are summaries of certain legal and disciplinary events that may be material to clients and prospective clients. Additional information about legal and disciplinary events is available in Item 11 of our Form ADV, Part 1A, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. SEC Claims Related to ASTA/MAT and Falcon Funds On August 17, 2015, the SEC announced that Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC (“CAI”) and CGMI (collectively with CAI, the “Respondents”) agreed to a settlement of allegations that, in connection with the offer and sale of securities in two now-defunct hedge funds, (1) the Respondents willfully violated Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”), (2) 13 CGMI willfully violated Section 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Advisers Act”), and (3) CAI willfully violated Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder (the “Order”). The SEC alleged that the Respondents violated the law in misrepresenting the hedge funds’ risks and performance. Without admitting or denying the findings contained in the Order, with the exception of the Commission’s jurisdiction over them and the subject matter of the proceedings, the Respondents agreed to the following sanctions: (a) Respondents to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act, (b) CGMI to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(2) of the Advisers Act, (c) CAI to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rules 206(4)-7 and 206(4)-8 promulgated thereunder, (d) Respondents to be censured, and (e) Respondents to pay disgorgement of $139,950,239 and prejudgment interest of $39,612,089. SEC Claims Related to Surveillance of Principal Trading On August 19, 2015, the SEC and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the SEC found, and CGMI neither admitted nor denied, that CGMI was in violation of Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder, in connection with CGMI’s surveillance of principal trading against certain restricted trading lists and principal trading by an affiliated market maker Automated Trading Desk Financial Services LLC (“ATD”) in managed accounts. The SEC found that CGMI failed to adopt and comply with adequate related policies and procedures. Pursuant to the settlement, CGMI agreed to (1) cease and desist from certain conduct, (2) a censure, (3) pay a civil penalty of $15 million and (4) comply with certain undertakings, including to continue to retain a consultant to conduct a comprehensive assessment of CGMI’s trade surveillance program and order handling in relation to transactions for which CGMI acts as an investment adviser. In determining to accept the settlement offer, the SEC considered the cooperation of, and certain remedial measures undertaken by CGMI, including (a) voluntarily retaining a consultant to conduct a comprehensive review of CGMI’s trade surveillance practices and to recommend improvements regarding CGMI’s policies and procedures and (b) voluntarily paying $2.5 million – representing ATD’s total profits from the principal transactions – to the affected advisory client accounts. SEC Claims Related to CitiFX Alpha Sold to MSSB Clients On January 24, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with the SEC related to a foreign exchange trading program known as “CitiFX Alpha,” which was sold to certain brokerage customers and advisory clients of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”) during 2010 and 2011. At the time, CGMI held a 49% ownership interest in MSSB. The SEC alleged that CGMI omitted material information from investor presentations, including failure to disclose that a substantially higher leverage could be used than was disclosed and that mark-ups on trades would be charged, that caused the investors to suffer significant losses. Without admitting or denying the findings, CGMI agreed to cease and desist from violating Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act and pay disgorgement of $624,458.27, prejudgment interest of $89,277.34, and a civil money penalty of $2,250,000.00. TRAK Fund Solution Settlements CGMI settled two matters relating to overcharges in certain advisory client accounts. The overcharges related primarily to the TRAK Fund Solution program, which CGMI offered between 1991 and 2011. On January 26, 2017, the SEC issued an Order finding that CGMI violated various provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 by overcharging or causing to be overcharged approximately 60,000 advisory client accounts in the amount of $18 million and by failing to keep proper books and records with respect to maintenance of client contracts. Those overcharges had, at the time of the Order, been reimbursed with interest, to the extent they could be identified. Pursuant to the Order, CGMI agreed to pay disgorgement and pre-judgment interest in the amount of $4,000,000, pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $14,300,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the SEC and remedial actions to the extent not already implemented. Copies of the Order can be obtained at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2017/34-79882.pdf or from your CGMI representative. 14 On January 12, 2017, the New York Attorney General’s Office (“NYAG”) and CGMI entered into a settlement in which the NYAG found that CGMI had violated the Martin Act and Executive Law § 63(12) by overcharging certain advisory client accounts. CGMI agreed to pay a monetary penalty in the amount of $1,000,000 and undertake certain reporting obligations to the NYAG. FINRA Claims Related to Research Ratings On December 28, 2017, CGMI entered into a settlement with FINRA. As part of that settlement, FINRA alleged that for a period of time, CGMI displayed (both internally and externally) inaccurate research ratings for certain equity securities. FINRA alleged that this inaccuracy, which resulted from errors in the electronic feed of ratings data that the firm provided to its clearing firm, caused CGMI to display the wrong rating for some covered securities (e.g., “buy” instead of “sell”), display ratings for other securities that CGMI was not actively covering at the time, and not display ratings for securities that CGMI, in fact, rated. FINRA also alleged that CGMI failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system and written supervisory procedures designed to ensure the accurate and complete dissemination of research ratings. Without admitting or denying the allegations, CGMI consented to a censure, a fine of $5.5 million, and an undertaking to pay compensation of at least $6 million to customers who were solicited to purchase or sell securities affected by the ratings display issues. Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Registrations CGMI is registered as an investment adviser, securities broker-dealer and security-based swap dealer with the SEC and as a futures commission merchant and a swap dealer with the CFTC. Affiliates of CGMI are registered as investment advisers and broker-dealers and security-based swap dealers with the SEC, as well as with the CFTC as commodity pool operators and/or commodity trading advisers. CGMI is a member of all principal securities and commodities exchanges in the United States and FINRA. In addition, CGMI holds memberships or associate memberships on several principal foreign securities and commodities exchanges. CGMI Brokerage and Research Services Clients may choose to implement their Financial Plans by opening a brokerage account with CGMI. As a registered broker-dealer, CGMI regularly advises clients about, and executes transactions in, a wide variety of securities and other investments. It and its affiliates also act in a partnership capacity in a number of limited partnerships in which its clients may invest. As a futures commission merchant, CGMI also provides advice on commodities and commodity related products. CGMI provides a wide range of research services to its clients, including reports, analyses, charts and graphs relating to various facets of the investment spectrum in equity and fixed income products. Research services generally are provided to clients on the assumption that the services generate commission or other business for CGMI. However, certain research services may be provided on a hard-dollar, fixed-fee basis and/or, in the case of firms that may re-sell such services, on a hard-dollar, royalty-fee basis. The amount or rate of any hard-dollar fee generally is negotiable. Material Relationships or Arrangements with Certain Related Persons CGMI has arrangements that are material to its advisory business or its clients with related persons who are broker-dealers, investment companies, other investment advisers and banking or thrift institutions. Below is a description of such relationships and some of the conflicts of interest that arise from them. CGMI has adopted policies and procedures reasonably designed to appropriately prevent, limit or mitigate conflicts of interest that may arise between CGMI and its affiliates. See also “Item 11- Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading” for additional information on conflicts of interest and related policies and procedures of CGMI. Through its divisions, CGMI offers a wide variety of investment advisory services and programs. CGMI’s investment advisory services are available to individuals, multi-family offices, corporations, trusts, endowments, foundations, charitable organizations; pension and profit sharing plans; other businesses and governmental entities. The investment advisor affiliates of CGMI include, among 15 others: Citi Global Alternatives, LLC; Citibank (Switzerland) A.G.; Citibank Canada Investment Funds Limited; Citigroup Alternative Investments LLC; Citigroup Global Markets Asia Limited, Cititrust (Bahamas) Ltd.; Cititrust (Cayman) Ltd.; Cititrust (Jersey) Ltd.; Citigroup First Investment Management Limited; and Citibank Europe PLC. Additional information about CGMI’s affiliates is disclosed in response to Item 7.A of our Form ADV, Part 1A, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov. Citigroup Life Agency LLC ("CLA") is an affiliate of CGMI, through which CGMI representatives can function as insurance representatives to sell various insurance products. In California, CLA does business as Citigroup Life Insurance Agency, LLC (License Number 0G56746). CGMI and its affiliates provide a variety of services for various clients, including issuers of securities that CGMI may recommend for purchase or sale by clients.

CGMI client portfolios also include securities in which CGMI makes a market or in which CGMI, its officers or employees have positions. CGMI and its affiliates receive compensation and fees in connection with the provision of the foregoing services. As part of an overall internal compliance program, CGMI has adopted policies and procedures imposing certain conditions and restrictions on transactions for CGMI’s own account or the accounts of its employees. Such policies and procedures are designed to prevent, among other things, any improper or abusive conduct when potential conflicts of interest may exist for a customer or client. In addition, Citibank, an affiliate of CGMI, serves as an investment manager and qualified custodian in certain programs. In serving as a qualified custodian, Citibank utilizes certain back office services of its affiliates. Compensation from Investment Managers CGMI and its affiliates have trading, investment banking, prime brokerage, trustee, custody, and other business relationships with third party investment managers. These investment managers may include the investment advisers for investment advisory programs recommended to clients by CGMI, in its capacity as an investment adviser. However, CGMI does not recommend or select investment managers and does not receive any direct or indirect compensation from any investment managers in connection with Financial Planning services. Item 11. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Employee Personal Trading and Fiduciary Code of Ethics Employees and certain other persons who perform services that support the investment advisory business of CGMI are bound by the Personal Trading and Investment Policy for Citi Brokerage and the Advisory Persons (“PTIP Policy”) and the Fiduciary Code of Ethics (“Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics is designed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements including Rule 204A-1. Both the PTIP Policy and the Code of Ethics govern the trading of employees who support the investment advisory business of CGMI and the family members’ or related persons’ accounts over which the employee has investment discretion. Certain representatives within CGMI are considered covered persons under the PTIP Policy. The PTIP Policy governs the manner in which covered persons’ trading account information is made available to the firm’s compliance department and defines instances where pre-clearance or supervisory pre-approval is required. Covered persons are subject to a number of restrictions including: 1) prohibition on conduct of personal trades in securities for which they are in possession of material, non-public information; 2) prohibition on securities noted on the firm’s restricted list; and 3) prohibition on trading in securities where new and material research has been published. Other restrictions exist with respect to “new issue”/public offerings and trading of Citigroup shares. Covered persons are further prohibited from engaging in market timing strategies with respect to mutual fund transactions in covered accounts. Certain supervisory staff are responsible for reviewing all personal trading activity of their covered employees for indications of improper trading activity and insider trading. 16 The Code of Ethics describes the standards of business conduct for CGMI’s investment advisory business, including the fiduciary obligations owed to the clients and the obligation to comply with applicable laws. The Code of Ethics incorporates and is supplemented by other Citi policies and procedures, including policies and procedures designed to protect the flow of material non- public information and the confidentiality of client information and those imposing personal trading and investment restrictions, maintenance of personal securities trading accounts at CGMI, and reporting of personal securities holdings and transactions. The purposes of the Codes of Ethics and the related policies and procedures include minimizing potential conflicts of interests between employees and investment advisory clients and assuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Each person covered under the Code of Ethics receives a copy of the Code of Ethics upon being designated as a covered person and annually thereafter. They must sign an attestation that indicates that they have read and understand such Code of Ethics. In conjunction with this attestation, all covered persons are required to report any violation or potential violation of which they might become aware. A copy of CGMI’s Code of Ethics will be provided to any client or prospective client who mails a written request to: Citigroup Global Markets Inc. 153 East 53rd Street 24th Floor New York, NY 10022 Attention: Dana L. Platt, Chief Compliance Officer, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Investment Adviser Participation and Interest in Client Transactions CGMI and its affiliates could recommend securities in which they directly or indirectly have a financial interest and can also buy and sell securities that are recommended to clients for purchase and sale, at the same time or at different times. They also provide advice and take action in the performance of their duties to CGMI or clients that differs from advice given, or the timing and nature of action taken, for other clients’ Financial Plans or CGMI’s and its affiliates’ own accounts. In addition, CGMI, its affiliates, employees, including Financial Advisors, are permitted to invest with other investment management firms. From time to time, CGMI imposes restrictions to address the potential for self-dealing by CGMI and conflicts of interest that arise in connection with CGMI’s broker-dealer and investment banking businesses. CGMI has adopted various procedures to guard against insider trading that include an “Information Barrier” procedure, pursuant to which information known within one area of CGMI (e.g., investment banking) is not permitted to be distributed to other areas (e.g., investment advisory), and use of a restricted list and various other monitoring lists. These investment banking or other activities will from time to time compel CGMI, its affiliates, or an overlay manager that provides portfolio implementation and overlay services in connection with the management of client accounts to forgo trading in the securities of companies with which these relationships exist. This has the potential to adversely impact the investment performance of a client’s account. Item 12. Brokerage Practices As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not execute trades for client accounts. CGMI does not utilize client agency commission dollars to purchase research and other services (i.e., soft dollars). Item 13. Review of Accounts The Financial Planning Program is limited solely to the preparation and delivery of a Financial Plan to the client, and terminates either when CGMI delivers a Financial Plan to the client or as otherwise described upon notice or information received from CGMI. Once the Financial Plan is delivered, there is no obligation on the part of either the client or CGMI to review, update or implement the Financial Plan. A delivered Financial Plan may be updated or reviewed at the client’s request only if CGMI and the client agree to perform such requested update or review within the Financial Planning Program. 17 Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation From time to time, CGMI offers certain incentives for select clients or prospective clients. Such incentives may include but not be limited to discounts, cash bonus payments, or other offers (“Incentive”). Incentives may be offered to limited groups of clients or prospective clients who CGMI determines, in its sole discretion, meet specific conditions of an offered Incentive. For example, Incentive conditions could include but not be limited to opening a new or specific account type with required funding, completing a Financial Plan with CGMI (a “Financial Plan”), responding to surveys, verified locations or residence, or continuous account maintenance for a specified time. The amount credited for the Incentive will vary according to the terms of the Incentive offered to different types of clients. Clients or prospective clients will not be offered or receive an Incentive to complete a Financial Plan unless CGMI expressly and directly offers the Incentive to the client or prospective client and CGMI determines, in its sole discretion, that the client or prospective client has met all the conditions of an offered Incentive. The specific terms of an Incentive will be described in the offer. Item 15. Custody As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not have custody of client assets and will not send account statements of any kind. In the event that clients open accounts with CGMI or a third party to implement their Financial Plans, they will receive account statements from their broker-dealer, bank or other qualified custodian. Clients should carefully review those statements and if they open an account with CGMI, compare account statements received from CGMI to those received from the qualified custodian. Item 16. Investment Discretion As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not have investment discretion. Item 17. Voting Client Securities As part of the Financial Planning Program, CGMI does not have authority to vote client shares. Item 18. Financial Information CGMI does not require or solicit prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six months or more in advance. Therefore, CGMI has not included a balance sheet of its most recent fiscal year. CGMI is not aware of any financial condition that is reasonably likely to impair its ability meet its contractual commitments to clients, nor has CGMI been the subject of a bankruptcy petition at any time during the past ten years. 18
