ITEM 4: ADVISORY BUSINESS
Intrepid Capital Management, Inc. ("Intrepid Capital," the "Adviser," "we," "us" or "our") incorporated in
Florida in 1994 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Intrepid Capital Corporation, incorporated in Delaware
in 1998. Intrepid Capital is an investment management firm focused on finding value in equity and
fixed income markets for institutional, corporate, and high net worth investors. With over 30 years of
investment experience, the Adviser has a strong focus on partnering with clients to ensure their
investment goals are realized. We differentiate ourselves by managing concentrated portfolios with low
turnover, seeking absolute returns, and co-investing with our clients.
We believe that our investment style allows us to pursue the best value we can find in the markets with
the goal of achieving superior risk-adjusted returns. We also believe that sound strategies, executed
consistently, are the keys to long-term success.
WRITTEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF FIDUCIARY STATUS
When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we are fiduciaries within the meaning of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income
Act (ERISA) and the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable, which are laws governing retirement
accounts. The way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests, so we operate under a
special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put out interest ahead of yours. Under
this special rule’s provisions, we must:
- Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
- Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal advice);
- Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
- Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best interest;
- Charge no more than a level fee that is reasonable for our services; and
- Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT
As of December 31, 2024, we were actively managing $1,181,981,202 on a discretionary basis and
$6,411,567 on a non-discretionary basis.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We offer the following investment advisory and related services to our clients:
We offer a separately managed account (a "SMA") investment option, which is administered through the
client's custodian. The program includes the following:
a.
Investor Profile: We consult with the client to obtain detailed financial information and other
pertinent data on an Investor Profile Questionnaire to enable the client to determine the
appropriate investment guidelines, risk tolerance, net worth, net income and other factors that
will assist in ascertaining the suitability of a SMA.
1400 Marsh Landing Parkway, Suite106 I Jacksonville, Florida 32250 I 904.246.3433 I www.intrepidcapital.net
Page 4 of 31
b.
Investment Policy Statement: We prepare an investment policy statement ("IPS") for the
client and, subject to the client's approval, including investment objectives, policies, and
constraints consistent with the client's requirements and requirements under applicable law,
and provide a periodic review of the IPS.
c. Investment Recommendations: We recommend, for consideration and approval by the client,
(i) asset allocation target-date or risk-based model portfolios for the client, and (ii) funds from
the line-up of investment options chosen by the client to include in such model portfolios. We
manage the implementation of the model portfolios for the client's account, with full discretion
to make purchase and sale decisions for the account. We review the client's investments and
recommend investments in pooled investment vehicles that are not registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (a "Private Fund" and, collectively, "Private Funds"),
consistent with the requirements of the client's IPS as adopted by the client.
d. Portfolio Management: We manage the client's portfolio using, but not limited to stocks,
bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds, US Treasury bonds and money market
instruments. We manage the client's account on an individual basis. Further restrictions and
guidelines imposed by clients affect the composition and performance of portfolios. For these
reasons, performance of portfolios within the same investment objective may differ. Therefore,
clients should not expect that the performance of their portfolios will be identical with our
average client. We also offer different investment strategies for our clients, and, in
implementing these strategies, we employ model portfolios.
e. Performance Evaluation and Monitoring Services: We perform ongoing monitoring of
investment options in relation to the criteria provided by the client and make recommendations
accordingly. We furnish performance measurement services to our clients, provided by the
custodian and through internally generated reports, in the form of quarterly performance
evaluation reports. The internal reports are intended to inform clients as to how their
investments have performed for the selected period of time. We schedule regularly recurring
review meetings, with the number of meetings varying based on the account size.
f. Discretionary Authority: We generally have discretionary authority to buy and sell
securities. The client may also elect to have their accounts managed on a non-
discretionary basis. The client's custodian may charge a transaction fee or commission on
any transaction. We review the client's investments and recommend investment
manager(s) and investment(s) consistent with the requirements of the client's IPS as
adopted by the client. We have full discretion of the selection of investment managers and
investment replacements if an existing manager or investment is no longer suitable. We are
authorized to direct any firm designated in writing by the client to reallocate assets among
different investment strategies offered by the designated firm. We are authorized to direct any
designated firm to sell or purchase any particular security that is a permissible investment
for any investment strategy in which the client is invested.
g. Custodian Commissions: The custodian has the responsibility to disclose its commission
charges to the client. For accounts managed on a discretionary basis, the client grants us sole
discretion to purchase, sell, exchange, convert and otherwise trade securities and other
investments in the client's account. This trading authorization is continuing in nature and
remains in effect until terminated by the client or us.

MUTUAL FUNDS
a. We serve as the investment adviser to the Intrepid Capital Management Funds Trust ("ICFT"),
a series of open-end mutual funds. The ICFT currently consists of two no-load funds: (1) the
Intrepid Capital Fund - currently offering both Investor Class and Institutional Class shares;
(2) and the Intrepid Income Fund - currently offering only Institutional Class shares
(collectively, the "Funds"). As such, we furnish continuous investment advisory services to
the Funds and are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the investment
portfolio of the Funds.
b. Please review the Funds' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for further
information regarding the investment strategies, restrictions and risks related to the Funds.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We offer the following wealth management services, each as agreed to with the specific client (so,
wealth management clients receive all services listed under Investment Management Services and only
those services identified below that are contractually agreed to by them):
a. We perform ongoing monitoring of investment options in the client's 401(k) in relation to the
criteria provided by the client and make recommendations accordingly. We review the client's
investments and recommend investments in pooled investment vehicles that are not registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (a "Private Fund" and, collectively, "Private
Funds"), consistent with the requirements of the client's IPS as adopted by the client. We
perform due diligence regarding Private Funds and monitor the performance of Private Funds.
b. We provide financial planning services, which are defined as a comprehensive evaluation of the
client's current and future financial state. We make this evaluation after gathering all known
facts through personal interviews, analysis of financial statements and written investor profile.
See the discussion on "Financial Planning Services" below.
c. The client should refer to its wealth management agreement for a full understanding of our
wealth management services and obligations.
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
a. For clients who do not receive full wealth management services, we provide financial planning
on an "as needed" basis. We generally intend to provide these services to persons with an
investable net worth of $2,500,000 or more. However, we may, in our discretion, prepare a
financial plan for a client with a net worth less than $2,500,000. The nature of the services to
these clients is based on information provided by the client and documented in the client's
Financial Planning Agreement. The Financial Planning Agreement will terminate upon delivery
of the financial plan, except for the client's obligation to pay the agreed-upon fee per the
agreement, the limitation on liability and the arbitration provision described in the agreement.
However, some clients may contact us for a plan update, and such an update will be a new
engagement with a separate fee.
1400 Marsh Landing Parkway, Suite106 I Jacksonville, Florida 32250 I 904.246.3433 I www.intrepidcapital.net
Page 6 of 31
b. The written financial plan is based on documentation provided by the client as set forth in the
Financial Planning Agreement, including a Planning Questionnaire, and the client is made
aware that a failure to provide accurate and current information may adversely affect the quality
of the financial plan.
c. The client should refer to the Financial Planning Agreement for a full understanding of our
financial planning services and obligations.
PRIVATE FUND
The Intrepid Capital L.P. (the "Partnership") is an investment partnership designed to allow qualified
investors to participate in a professionally managed, diversified investment program, which primarily
invests in publicly traded equity securities by holding both long and short positions, and corporate debt.
The Partnership does not hold any securities short that are being held long in other strategies or client
accounts.
a. We act as the General Partner of the Partnership and have sole responsibility for the
management of the Partnership's business and investments. We also have discretionary
authority to select investments in trading activities on behalf of the partnership.
b. The minimum investment in the Partnership is $500,000 unless we allow a smaller investment;
provided, however, that each investor has a minimum $1,000,000 under management with us
or more than $2,100,000 net worth exclusive of the value of the investor's principal residence.
Please refer to the Private Offering Memorandum and Subscription Agreement for additional
details and instructions. Clients who invest in the Partnership should also refer to the Private
Offering Memorandum for, among other things, additional disclosure about the risks in
investing in the Partnership and our relations hip with the Partnership.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
a. We may from time to time determine that an investment in a product or service offered by us
or by a company affiliated with us is consistent with a client's financial situation or the
recommendations contained in the client financial plan. In addition, a client may decide, at the
client's own independent discretion, to purchase financial products offered by or through us or
an affiliated company. In such circumstances, we receive investment advisory fees as the
adviser to such products, like the ICFT.
b. We may recommend or take action in the performance of our duties for one client that differ
from the recommendations or advice given to another client. Differences include, but are not
limited to, the timing and nature of the recommendation or action taken. We are not required
to recommend for purchase or sale any securities or other investments to a client, even though
we may purchase or sell or recommend for purchase or sale such securities for our accounts
or for the account of any of other clients.
c. We and our employees may make personal investments in securities and other financial
products that we also recommend to our clients.

additional fees associated with their level of pricing. Each client household must meet a minimum
management fee dollar amount of $20,000 annually. Clients invested in the Intrepid Capital Funds
(the “Funds”) are not subject to the management fee described above due to the fees and other
expenses already embedded in the Funds. Cash Management, Non-Discretionary Employer-
Sponsored 401(k) and 529 Plan Management services are not included for purposes of determining
Service Tier pricing.
a. The client agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice
and the client is entitled to a pro-rata refund of any prepaid quarterly fees through the effective
date of cancellation (30 days from notice of termination). Clients who terminate the agreement
within five (5) days of signing the agreement will be provided a full refund.
b. Prior written authorization for the withdrawal of the quarterly fee is obtained from the client and
written notification of the quarterly fee is provided to the client prior to debiting the client's
account. If there is inadequate cash available to pay the quarterly fee, the client's prior
authorization under the client agreement will permit us to liquidate securities to pay for the fees.
1400 Marsh Landing Parkway, Suite106 I Jacksonville, Florida 32250 I 904.246.3433 I www.intrepidcapital.net

c. We may invest client cash balances in registered investment companies, including, without
limitation, money market funds, mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, and in
unregistered investment companies, including hedge funds, private equity funds and other
pooled investment vehicles. In addition to the fees we charge, each of the investment
companies, registered or unregistered, in which clients' funds may be invested charges its own
investment advisory fees and expenses. So, for example, to the extent that clients invest in
mutual funds, other than the Funds, such clients effectively will pay two levels of advisory
fees, one to us for the management of their assets and one indirectly through the management
fees and other expenses embedded in the mutual funds to their investment adviser. Clients
will not pay an investment advisory fee to us with respect to assets that are invested in the
Funds. However, clients as investors in the Funds will bear their individual proportional share
of fees and expenses paid by the Funds, including the investment advisory fees paid by the
Funds to us.
d. With regard to a cash (or cash equivalents) only Managed Account, a cash management
fee of 0.25% shall apply (in lieu of the wealth management/financial planning fees
described above) for the coordination of the cash needs of the client. For purposes of
clarification, cash and cash equivalents include money market funds, certificates of
deposit, U.S. Treasuries, investment grade short-term debt obligations, and repurchase
agreements, that are managed pursuant to the client's wealth management agreement.
MUTUAL FUNDS
a.
The ICFT's mutual funds; the Intrepid Capital Fund - offering Investor Class shares ("ICMBX")
and Institutional Class shares ("ICMVX"); and the Intrepid Income Fund - offering Institutional
Class shares ("ICMUX") all pay an investment management fee to the Adviser.
b. Each mutual fund's fee is calculated based on the amount of the individual mutual fund's
average daily net assets and is paid monthly. The annual investment management fee payable
to us from ICMBX, and ICMVX is 1.00%, while the annual fee from ICMUX is 0.75%. As the
investment adviser, we have contractually agreed, through January 31, 2021 , to reduce our
monthly fee and/or reimburse each fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the specific
fund's net annual operating expenses do not exceed 1.15% for ICMVX. or 0.90% for ICMUX.
If we reduce our fee or reimburse expenses in a particular month, we can request
reimbursement, from that particular mutual fund, for that waiver or reimbursement in the
subsequent three-year fiscal period assuming that reimbursement would not cause the net
operating expenses of that particular fund to exceed its contractually agreed upon annual cap.
Our investment advisory agreements must be renewed every year by a majority of the trustees
of the ICFT.

FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
a. For clients who desire financial planning, not including wealth management clients, we charge
$300 per hour for financial planning services, including, without limitation, outside holdings
analysis and consulting services. We will provide a written estimate of cost and hours needed
prior to engaging in a project for a client and will provide updates as needed. The client can
determine how much time we should spend on their partial or full plan, and a flat fee will be
charged based on the type of services provided to the client. Prior to the delivery of a financial
plan, either party may terminate the Financial Planning Agreement for any reason upon written
notice. In the event of a termination prior to delivery, we will be entitled to compensation at the
rate of $300 per hour for the time expended on the preparation of the financial plan. We may,
at our discretion, waive the right to this compensation if the client is unsatisfied with the
services provided. If the Financial Planning Agreement is terminated prior to the delivery of the
financial plan by us, we will be under no obligation to provide the client with a financial plan.
b. We will provide a written plan and the client can implement at their discretion. We will send a
written statement of the fee after the presentation, which is payable within 30 days of the date
of the invoice.
PRIVATE FUND
a. The Partnership pays us a quarterly management fee equal to ¼ of 1% of the net assets in the
Partnership as of the beginning of each calendar quarter for bearing the overhead expenses
and providing investment management services for the Partnership.
b. As the General Partner, we will receive a performance incentive allocation of 20% of any new
high balance in each limited partner's account for each allocation period. An allocation period
is generally a 12-month period and a new high is any amount by which the value of the limited
partner's account at the end of an allocation period exceeds the highest value at the beginning
of any allocation period, disregarding capital additions and withdrawals, and taking into
consideration any decrease in an account from a prior allocation period. The incentive fee will
only be charged on the capital account of the investors who are "qualified clients" (i.e., having a
net worth in excess of $2.1million exclusive of the value of the investor's principal residence) or
having assets under management with us in excess of $1 million.
c. The General Partner performance incentive fee for the Partnership is billed ann ually on the
last day of the allocation period, which is typically the calendar year end, and is automatically
deducted and paid out of each investor's capital account.
d. By charging a performance-based fee upon the capital accounts of limited partners of the
Partnership, we have an incentive to favor the Partnership account over the accounts of clients
who are not charged an incentive fee. For example, there is the incentive to place the best
trades for the Partnership over that of our other clients. We address this conflict by maintaining
trading policies designed to provide reasonable assurance that clients are treated fairly and by
performing periodic testing to reasonably ensure one account is not favored over another. We
also have an incentive to steer the assets of client s to the Partnership. We address this conflict
by disclosing this conflict to clients and prospective investors in the Partnership.

Page 10 of 31
FEES - OTHER
Clients may incur other fees or expenses in connection with their investments that are not paid to
us. Clients have the option to purchase investment products that we recommend through other
brokers or agents that are not affiliated with us.
a. For separately managed accounts, clients may incur brokerage or other transaction fees,
annual account fees, or other brokerage or custodian charges as det ermined by where their
account is held.
b. As a shareholder in one or more or the ICFT's two Funds, expenses associated directly with
the Funds, as well as, transaction or brokerage costs may be incurred. The ICFT is responsible
for paying fees associated with administering and maintaining the trust and its Funds. These
fees include, but are not limited to accounting, administration, custody services, legal, and
transfer services, and are charged ratably across the Funds. In addition, separate tr ansaction
fees and account maintenance fees may be charged directly by brokers and custodians.
c.
In addition to the fees paid by the limited partners of the Partnership described herein, the
limited partners also indirectly pay their pro rata share of the Partnership's expenses. These
fees include, but are not limited to, accounting fees, registration fees, software expense, and
tax fees
ITEM 6: PERFORMANCE BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE
MANAGEMENT
Please refer to Item 5: Fees and Compensation, for information on performance-based fees.
The side-by-side management of both the Funds and other accounts may raise potential conflicts of
interest due to the interest held by us or one of our affiliates in an account (for example, cross trades
between a Fund and another account and allocation of aggregated trades among the Funds and other
accounts). We have developed policies and procedures reasonably designed to mitigate these conflicts.
In particular, we have adopted policies limiting the ability of portfolio managers to effect cross trades and
policies to ensure the fair allocation of securities purchased on an aggregated basis.

ITEM 7: TYPES OF CLIENTS
We provide advisory services and non-advisory services to corporate, institutional, and high net worth
individuals. We also provide advisory services to mutual funds (registered investment companies) and
pooled investment vehicles that are not registered as investment companies.
a. SMA's are offered to business entities, institutions, and high net worth individuals. See "Item 4:
Advisory Business" and "Item 5: Fees and Compensation" above.
b. For the mutual funds in the ICFT, the type of investment and minimum investment varies based
on the type and class of the fund. Each fund is generally described as follows; ICMBX and
ICMVX - moderate allocation balanced, and ICMUX - income. The minimum initial amount of
investment is $2,500 for investor class shares of the Funds (ICMBX), $2,500 for institutional
class shares of ICMUX and $250,000 for institutional class shares of the Funds (ICMVX).
Subsequent investments in the investor class or institutional class shares of the Funds may be
made with a minimum investment of $100. Please also reference the Funds' Prospectus and
Statement of Additional Information for further information. See "Item 4: Advisory Business" and

general description of the Partnership account minimums is described in Item 4: Advisory
Business, IV - Private Fund. Please also reference the Partnership's Private Offering

ITEM 8: METHOD OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISK
OF LOSS
Method of Analysis - Overview
Our research is done internally following a bottom-up, value-based strategy. Analysts focus on company
filings, conference calls, discussions with management and other sources when generating company
reports. We emphasize the use of primary research over sell-side materials. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") filings are critical to understanding a business's history and stability, as well as the
primary drivers for the business. The core concept is to value a business in its entirety, as if we were buying
the stock in a private market transaction.
We discount free cash flows using normalized assumptions, as opposed to cash flows at the peak or
trough of the business cycle. For businesses in which discounting free cash flows could be problematic
(e.g., financials or commodity-related businesses), we attempt to value the business via an asset
valuation. We typically use discount rates between 10% and 15% depending upon a business's level of
overall risk and cyclicality. Finally, we use realistic growth rate assumptions, which tend to be between 3%
and 5%. Management contact (typically via phone) can be important to better clarify accounting
questions or to understand the challenges/opportunities facing the target business in question. Once
we have valued the entire business, we can determine whether the stock price is at a discount (below) or
premium (above) to our intrinsic valuation.
Ideas are shared across the firm and between portfolios. The research team is composed of portfolio
managers and research analysts who search for and evaluate ideas. The investment team meets on a
weekly basis to review ideas. Ultimately, the lead portfolio manager of the investment strategy has final
decision rights and responsibility for which securities are bought and sold in each strategy. However, all
analysts and portfolio managers work in close proximity to one another; ideas are shared throughout
the course of each business day.
Method of Analysis - Equity Securities
We start with our investable universe of securities, ranging from $200 million to roughly $9 billion in market
cap for the small cap portfolio, and $200 million and above for the other equity portfolios. These inc lude
domestic and foreign securities. We generally eliminate companies which do not meet our criteria. We prefer
companies that tend to be profitable, generate positive free cash flows, and have reasonable financial
leverage. Oftentimes when we are screening, we use firm valuation metrics (i.e. Enterprise Value) to
account for use of leverage. In addition to screening based on valuation (e.g. EV/EBIT or free cash flow
yield), we also screen for companies trading near their 52-week low price levels that may be out of favor or
otherwise mispriced by the market. Another important source of ideas comes from the body of knowledge
built by the research staff over the years. Some high-quality businesses have been followed continuously
but may not be owned at a particular time. When the prices of such stocks decline to a level that affords us
an adequate margin of safety, we stand prepared to invest. Ideas are also sourced from our credit team
as they evaluate modestly leveraged investment grade and high yield debt issuers. When we believe there
is a clear path to debt reduction, we may buy these securities for our equity portfolios.
1400 Marsh Landing Parkway, Suite106 I Jacksonville, Florida 32250 I 904.246.3433 I www.intrepidcapital.net
Page 13 of 31
Once a portfolio candidate is found, we thoroughly review the company's business strategy, financials,
competitors, and outlook. If the candidate passes our initial due diligence, we may ask questions to
management or others in the industry to firm our understanding of the business. The final step in our
process is to discount the candidate company's future free cash flows to determine our intrinsic value. This
value is then adjusted to reflect excess working capital, hidden assets, hidden liabilities, and debt. If the
market value is near 20% below our calculated intrinsic value, the candidate is placed on our potential buy
list. While the existence of a catalyst may be desirable, we do not require a catalyst before investing in a
security. Although discounting free cash flows is our primary valuation methodology, we also calculate
asset valuations when appropriate, and use a conservative multiple of normalized earnings in other
instances. Determining the potential takeover price for a business allows us to understand potential upside,
but it is not our main technique.
We are very valuation sensitive. We will not usually acquire a company unless we can buy it at a material
discount to intrepid value, which is generally 20%. Positions are generally sold or reduced in size when
they cross our intrinsic value estimate. Our sell discipline is typically driven by the occurrence of three
potential events:
• Valuation target achieved
• Degradation of fundamentals
• Misleading statements/information from management
Turnover is not a consideration in our sell discipline.
Method of Analysis - Fixed Income
We start with the two thousand plus issuers in the Bloomberg Barclays Gov/Credit 1-5 Year Index, smaller
issuers not included in the index, and other investment-grade, high yield, convertible bonds, and levered
loans. We utilize Bloomberg terminals to screen based on simple, broad criteria, specifically:
• Yield-to-Maturity & Yield-to-Worst
• Spread
• Maturity
• Leverage - Debt / TTM EBITDA
Interest Coverage - TTM EBIT / interest expense
•
• Free Cash Flow Yield
We apply similar metrics to the entire index to identify suitable candidates. Additionally, we use our equity
research to expand our potential buy list. After broad screening, we quickly scan each bond's financial
statements to further narrow down the field. We do not use sophisticated screening methods specifically
because we do not want to overlook potentially attractive investments.
The initial screen usually yields several hundred securities to be evaluated further. We use quantitative
and qualitative methods to eliminate companies that do not meet our criteria. For example, the companies
must generate free cash flows and have stable balance sheets. Oftentimes, we use firm valuation metrics
(i.e., Enterprise Value) when screening to account for use of leverage. Certain potential candidates may
arise from the use of screens. A second and equally important source of ideas comes from the body of
knowledge built by the research staff. In other words, some businesses have been followed for years but
may not be owned at a particular time. Depending upon price, these may be suitable candidates as well.

The portfolio managers carefully select securities that. after passing most or all primary criteria, have an
attractive yield relative to the risk taken. Risk is measured in both a quantitative and qualitative manner.
The portfolio managers tend to keep the duration short, with the average duration usually shorter than 3
years. The short duration helps reduce interest rate risk so that the focus can be on adding value via deep
credit research. The decision on the adequacy of the yield is also based on both quantitative and
qualitative properties of the bond in consideration. The option-adjusted spread of the bond over the
comparable Treasury is an important quantitative measure in the yield received. Lastly, the impact the
bond has on the overall portfolio is measured with careful consideration for the current market
environment.
Investment Strategies
Equity:
We are valuation-driven investors who focus on businesses that are selling below what we believe the
underlying businesses are worth. Our valuations are calculated by discounting projected free cash flows
and valuing assets. We focus on established companies that have strong balance sheets and that generate
consistent free cash flows.
We attempt to reduce risk through detailed fundamental analysis of a limited number of holdings and by
avoiding businesses that cannot be valued with a high degree of confidence.
We employ a long-term investment approach focused on absolute results rather than relative performance.
By doing so, we attempt to think independently and avoid investment fads. We typically sell stocks when
they exceed our calculated intrinsic value or when there is a decline in company fundamentals that is not
yet reflected in the price of the stock. As bottom-up investors, we focus on security selection, in which the
decision to buy or sell a particular security is made independently of the presence or absence of investable
opportunities among other securities. In certain market conditions when we are unable to find attractive
discounts, we may determine that it is appropriate for our portfolios to hold a significant cash position for an
extended period of time. We may maintain substantial cash positions when we determine that such cash
holdings, given the risks we believe to be present in the market, are more beneficial to shareholders than
investments in additional securities.
We do not invest directly in cryptocurrencies, initial coin offerings, distributed ledger technology,
blockchain and/or other related products (collectively, "Crypto Assets"). We may invest indirectly in
Crypto Assets by investing in registered investment companies, including exchange traded funds,
collective investment vehicles, and non investment company exchange-traded products that have
Crypto Assets as underlying assets.
Fixed Income:
We seek fixed income securities that offer attractive yields relative to U.S. Treasury securities, while limiting
interest rate risk and the possibility of permanent capital impairment. We perform deep fundamental credit
analysis to identify securities with high risk-adjusted potential returns. We invest in a wide range of fixed
income securities, including corporate bonds, convertibles, and preferred stock, but will typically target the
high-yield corporate market. We seek to limit interest rate risk when we are not being compensated to
assume it.

The investment team focuses on understandable businesses that generate predictable cash flows, in
addition to owning tangible assets such as land, buildings, marketable equipment, or mineral rese rves.
We aim to build a portfolio that will withstand credit crises and liquidity events, striving to own debt
securities in businesses that would have the ability to refinance in such an environment. We have historically
found the high yield corporate debt market to be fertile ground for our search. High yield securities typically
have paid high current interest, as well as offer the potential for capital appreciation when purchased at a
discount to par value or when favorable company specific events occur. We perform deep fun damental
credit analysis in selecting debt securities for our portfolios, and the holdings are not limited by credit
quality, sector, or geography.
Investments in debt instruments will not be limited in duration, but typically will be in securities having
duration of two to six years at the time of purchase. Duration is a measure of a debt security's price
sensitivity, considering a debt security's cash flows over time. In certain market conditions, we may
determine that it is appropriate for the portfolios to hold a significant cash position for an extended period.
We may maintain substantial cash positions when we determine that such cash holdings, given the risks
we believe to be present in the market, are more beneficial to shareholders than investment in additional
securities.
Risk
We try to control risk by ensuring that we understand a business's operating characteristics, cash flows,
and balance sheet, and then waiting to buy shares until we believe there is at least a 20% discount to our
fair value estimate. We assess the internal operating and financial risk of each holding, and this is reflected
in our valuations. We tend to own shares in businesses with more stable end markets than average and
without highly leveraged balance sheets. These can usually be valued with a higher degree of confidence.
This risk control process helps us participate in rising markets and protect capital in declining markets.
Portfolio risk is often measured by outsiders using standard deviation.
There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your money on your investment. This risk may increase
during times of significant market volatility. Our investment strategies are subject to the following risks
which could affect the value of your investment:
• American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") Risk: ADRs may be subject to some of the same risks
as direct investment in foreign companies, which includes international trade, currency, political,
regulatory and diplomatic risks. Because unsponsored ADR arrangements are organized
independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities, available
information concerning the foreign issuer may not be as current as for sponsored ADRs and
voting rights with respect to the deposited securities are not passed through.
• Cash Position Risk: The ability of the Adviser to meet its objective may be limited to the extent
it holds assets in cash (or cash equivalents) or is otherwise uninvested.
• Credit Risk: The issuers of bonds and other debt securities held in an Adviser-managed
account may be unable to make interest and principal payments. Even if these issuers are able
to make interest or principal payments, they may suffer adverse changes in financial conditions
that would lower the credit quality of the security and lead to greater volatility in the price of the
security.

Page 16 of 31
• Crypto Assets Risk: Investing in Crypto Assets, or in instruments the value of which are
derived from or based on Crypto Assets, is highly speculative and subject to numerous risks, as
discussed below. Crypto Assets come in different forms. A cryptocurrency, like bitcoin, is a peer-
to-peer, decentralized, crypto currency the implementation of which relies on the principles of
cryptography to validate the transactions and generation of the currency itself. A network (or
utility) token relies on a network protocol with similar principles to a cryptocurrency, but also
purports to serve functions other than the storage of value. The creation and use of Crypto
Assets is not currently subject to a fully developed set of legal or regulatory requirements, and
trading in Crypto Assets is subject to high levels of volatility and the potential for market abuse.
Crypto Assets exist entirely in electronic form, as entries in decentralized (or "distributed") crypto
ledgers. The ledgers themselves, as well as the private encryption keys used to access Crypto
Asset balances, are held on hardware (which can be physically controlled by the holder or by a
third party) or via software programs on third-party servers, and as such are susceptible to all
of the risks inherent in holding any electronic data, such as power failure, data corruption,
security breach, communication failure, and user error, among others. Accordingly, Crypto
Assets are subject to theft, destruction, or loss of value from hackers, corruption, or technology -
specific factors such as viruses that do not affect traditional currency, which is underwritten by
central banks and monetary authorities.
Transactions in Crypto Assets are recorded and authenticated not by a central repository, but
by a peer-to-peer network. While decentralization avoids certain common threats to computer
networks (e.g., denial of service attacks), the use of a peer-to-peer system relies on participants
in the network having greater numbers and computing power than coordinated attackers. This
authentication strategy necessitates investment in substantial amounts of computing power,
which in turn increases the burdens on participants in the network to stay ahead of attackers. If
and as the popularity of Crypto Assets increases, the burdens on participants in the network
(which are defrayed by transaction costs) can be expected to increase, which may reduce the
value of Crypto Assets.
Transactions in Crypto Assets also provide a high degree of anonymity, making them
susceptible to misuse for criminal activities, such as money laundering. This misuse, or the
perception of such misuse (even if untrue) could lead law enforcement agencies to close Crypto
Asset exchange platforms or other Crypto Asset-related infrastructure with little or no notice and
prevent users from accessing or retrieving Crypto Assets held via such platforms or
infrastructure.

• Debt/Fixed Income Securities Risk: The value of your investment may change in response to
changes in interest rates. An increase in interest rates typically causes a fall in the value of the
debt securities in which the Adviser invests. Interest rates in the U.S. are at, or near, historic lows,
which may increase the exposure to risks associated with rising interest rates. Moreover, rising
interest rates or lack of market participants may lead to decreased liquidity in the bond and loan
markets, making it more difficult for the Adviser to sell its holdings at a time when the Adviser
might wish to sell. The longer the duration of a debt security, the more its value typically falls in
response to an increase in interest rates. The value of your investment may change in response
to the credit ratings of debt securities held by the Adviser. The degree of risk for a particular
security may be reflected in its credit rating. Generally, investment risk and price volatility
increase as a security’s credit rating declines. The financial condition of an issuer of a debt
security may cause it to default or become unable to pay interest or principal due on the security.
The Adviser cannot collect interest and principal payments on a debt security if the issuer
defaults. Prepayment and extension risks may occur when interest rates decline and issuers of
debt securities experience acceleration in prepayments. The acceleration can shorten the
maturity of the debt security and force the Adviser to invest in securities with lower interest rates,
reducing the portfolio's return. Issuers may decrease prepayments of principal when interest
rates increase, extending the maturity of the debt security and causing the value of the security
to decline. Distressed debt securities ("junk bonds") involve
greater risk of default or downgrade and are more volatile than investment grade securities.
Distressed debt securities may also be less liquid than higher quality debt securities. Many debt
securities utilize LIBOR as the reference or benchmark rate for variable interest rate
calculations. However, the use of LIBOR has come under pressure following manipulation
allegations. If LIBOR in its current form does not survive or if an alternative index is chosen, the
market value and/or liquidity of securities with distributions or interest rates based on LIBOR
could be adversely affected.
• Equity Securities Risks: Equity securities may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value
or long periods of decline in value. This change may occur because of factors that affect
securities markets generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors or companies in
which the Adviser invests.
1400 Marsh Landing Parkway, Suite106 I Jacksonville, Florida 32250 I 904.246.3433 I www.intrepidcapital.net
Page 18 of 31
• Exchange-Traded Fund ("ETF") Risk: ETFs are investment companies that trade like stocks.
The price of an ETF is derived from and based upon the securities held by the ETF. However, like
stocks, shares of ETFs are not traded at net asset value but may trade at prices above or below
the value of their underlying portfolios. The level of risk involved in the purchase or sale of an
ETF is similar to the risk involved in the purchase or sale of a traditional common stock, except
that the pricing mechanism for an ETF is based on a basket of securities. Thus, the risks of owning
an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track,
although lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in it being more volatile than the underlying
portfolio of securities. Disruptions in the markets for the securities underlying ETFs purchased
or sold could result in losses on the Adviser's investment in ETFs. ETFs are subject to
management fees and other fees that may increase their costs versus the costs of own ing the
underlying securities directly.
The market prices of shares of ETFs fluctuate in response to changes in net asset value ("NAV")
and supply and demand for such shares and include a bid-ask spread charged by the exchange
specialists, market makers or other participants who trade the particular security. There may be
times when the market price and the NAV vary significantly. This means that shares of an ETF
may trade at a discount or premium to NAV. In particular, the following circumstances may
impact the market price of the shares of ETFs: (1) in times of market stress, market makers may
step away from their role of market making in the shares of ETFs and in executing trades, which
can lead to differences between the market value of the shares and an ETF's NAV; (2) to the
extent authorized participants ("APs") exit the business or are unable to process creations or
redemptions and no other AP can step in to do so, there may be a significantly reduced trading
market in the shares, which can lead to differences between the market price of the shares and
an ETF's NAV; (3) the market price for the shares may deviate from an ETF's NAV, particularly
during times of market stress, with the result that investors may pay significantly more or
significantly less for the shares than an ETF's NAV, which is reflected in the bid and ask price
for shares or in the closing price; (4) when all or a portion of an ETFs underlying securities trade
in a market that is closed when the market for the shares is open, there may be changes from
the last quote of the closed market and the quote from an ETF's domestic trading day, which
could lead to differences between the market value of the shares and an ETF's NAV; and (5) in
stressed market conditions, the market for the shares may become less liquid in response to
the deteriorating liquidity of an ETF's portfolio.
An active trading market for the shares of ETFs may not be developed or maintained. Trading
in shares of ETFs on the stock exchange where they are listed for trading (the "Exchange") may
be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that in the view of the Exchange, make trading
in shares inadvisable, such as extraordinary market volatility. There can be no assurance that
shares will continue to meet the listing requirements of the Exchange. If the shares are traded
outside a collateralized settlement system, the number of financial institutions that can act as
APs that can post collateral on an agency basis is limited, which may limit the market for the
shares.

Page 19 of 31
• Foreign Securities Risk: Stocks of non-U.S. companies (whether directly or in ADRs) as an
asset class may underperform stocks of U.S. companies, and such stocks may be less liquid
and more volatile than stocks of U.S. companies. The costs associated with securities
transactions are often higher in foreign countries than the U.S. The U.S. dollar value of foreign
securities traded in foreign currencies (and any dividends and interest earned) held by the Fund
may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Policy and
legislative changes in foreign countries and other events affecting global markets, such as the
institution of tariffs by the U.S. or the United Kingdom's expected exit from the European Union
(or Brexit), may contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets.
Additionally, investments in foreign securities, whether or not publicly traded in the U.S., may
involve risks which are in addition to those inherent in domestic investments, such as less
demanding regulatory requirements, less demanding financial reporting requirements, and less
stable economies. Foreign companies may be subject to significantly higher levels of taxation
than U.S. companies, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation, thereby reducing the
earnings potential of such foreign companies. Substantial withholding taxes may apply to
distributions from foreign companies.
• High Yield Risk: Investment in high yield securities can involve a substantial risk of loss. These
securities, commonly called "junk bonds," are rated below investment grade and considered to
be speculative with respect to the issuer's ability to pay interest and principal. They are more
likely to default than investment grade securities when adverse economic and business
conditions are present. High yield securities are generally much less liquid than investment
grade debt securities and their market values tend to be volatile. In addition, high yield securities
tend to have greater credit risk than investment grade securities.
•
Interest Rate Risk: In general, the value of bonds and other debt securities falls when interest
rates rise. Longer term obligations are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes than
shorter term obligations. There have been extended periods of increases in interest rates that
have caused significant declines in bond prices. Interest rates currently are at, or near, historic
lows, and may increase, with potentially sudden and unpredictable effects on the markets and
the Adviser's choice of investments.
• Liquidity Risk: The risk, due to certain investments trading in lower volumes or to market and
economic conditions, that the Adviser may be unable to find a buyer for its investments when it
seeks to sell them or to receive the price it expects based on the Adviser's valuation of the
investments.
• Market Risk: In the past decade financial markets throughout the world have experienced
increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. The
prices of the securities in which the Adviser invests may decline for a number of reasons. A rise
in protectionist trade policies, slowing global economic growth, risks associated with pandemic
and epidemic diseases, risks associated with the United Kingdom's departure from the European
Union, the risk of trade disputes, and the possibility of changes to some international trade
agreements, could affect the economies of many nations, including the United States, in ways
that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time, and may negatively impact the markets
in which we invest for clients.

Page 20 of 31
• Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk: Small and medium capitalization
companies often have narrower product lines and markets and more limited managerial and
financial resources, and as a result may be more sensitive to changing economic conditions.
Stocks of smaller companies are often more volatile and tend to have less trading volume than
those of larger companies. Less trading volume may make it more difficult to sell securities of
smaller companies at quoted market prices. Finally, there are periods when investing in small
capitalization company stocks falls out of favor with investors and the stocks of smaller
companies underperform.
• Value Investing Risk: The Adviser may be wrong in its assessment of a company's value, or
the market may not recognize improving fundamentals as quickly as the Adviser anticipated. In
such cases, the stock may not reach the price that reflects the intrinsic value of the company.
There are periods when the value investing style falls out of favor with investors and in such
periods a Fund may not perform as well as other mutual funds investing in common stocks.
ITEM 9: DISCIPLINARY INFORMATION
There have been no disciplinary actions against us or any of our principals or employees within the last
ten years by:
• Any domestic, foreign or military court,
• The SEC, any other federal regulatory agency, any state regulatory agency or any foreign
financial regulatory authority, or
• Any self-regulatory organization (SRO).

ITEM 10: OTHER FINANCIAL INDUSTRY ACTIVITIES AND
AFFILIATIONS
We are the investment adviser to ICFT, a series of open-end mutual funds. We typically offer these
investment options to clients and prospects whose account objective is aligned with a fund's investment
objective and whose investment activity would be better served in a mutual fund investment as opposed
to a managed account. Some officers also have roles with ICFT, and other staff members also perform
certain activities on behalf of ICFT, which could create conflicts of interest due to competing priorities. We
spend more than 50% of our time offering or managing this investment option.
We are also the General Partner of the Partnership, which is offered as an investment option for qualified
investors. We make all day-to-day investment decisions and will dedicate a portion of our time to the
management of the Partnership's investments. We typically purchase and sell equity securities and
corporate debt, though there is no material limitation on the particular securities or other investments which
the Partnership may acquire, with the goal of maintaining capital preservation and generating long -term
capital appreciation. We spend more than 20% of our time offering and managing this investment option.
We receive compensation from both ICFT, based upon assets under management and from the
Partnership, based upon assets under management and the performance of the investments. Because we
are compensated by both ICFT and Partnership, we have a conflict of interest in recommending an
investment in one over the other to our clients. However, we believe that we have mitigated this conflict of
interest by ensuring that our clients' assets that are invested, upon our recommendation in ICFT or the
Partnership are invested according to each of our client's needs, are suitable for their investment
objectives, and not based on the fees charged by us in either investment choice.
Mark Travis, general partner and Intrepid Capital Management, Inc are the general partner of Intrepid New
Leaf, LP. and Intrepid Capital, LP, a private fund. ICFT will recommend investments in this private fund
to those clients for which investment in the fund is suitable. This presents a conflict of interest in that ICFT
or its related persons may receive more compensation from investment in the fund than from other
investments. Nevertheless, ICFT acts in the best interest of the client consistent with its fiduciary duties
and clients are not required invest in the private fund if they do not wish to do so.
IPW Risk Solutions, LLC (IPW) is owned by Intrepid Capital Corporation. IPW offers insurance products
and may offer these products to advisory clients. Client should be aware that these services pay a
commission or other compensation and involve a conflict of interest, as commissionable products conflict
with the fiduciary duties of a registered investment adviser. We will always act in the best interest of the
client when utilizing the sale of commissionable product to advisory clients. Clients are in no way required
to utilize the services of IPW in connection with this outside business activity.
We also offer comprehensive financial analysis and planning services to our clients. We spend more than
5% of our time offering these services.

ITEM 11: CODE OF ETHICS, PARTICIPATION OR INTEREST IN
CLIENT TRANSACTIONS AND PERSONAL TRADING
We have adopted a Code of Ethics and Professional Standards ("Code of Ethics") designed to avoid
prohibited acts and mitigate potential conflicts of interest. The Code of Ethics works in conjunction with our
written Compliance and Supervisory Procedures Manual ("Compliance Manual") and is designed, among
other things, to detect and prevent insider trading and to govern personal securities trading. Such issues
addressed by either document include, among other things, forbidding any of our employees from trading,
either personally or on behalf of others (such as a hedge fund and private accounts managed by us), on
material non-public information and from communicating material non-public information to others in
violation of any governing law.
Securities are subject to the Code of Ethics ("Covered Securities"), provided that the following securities
are not subject to the Code of Ethics:
• Direct obligations of the Government of the United States;
• Bankers' acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high-quality
short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements;
• Shares issued by open-end registered investment companies other than the Intrepid
Mutual Funds (provided that shares of exchange traded funds purchased or sold in the
secondary market are Covered Securities for purposes of the Code); and
• Shares issued by the Intrepid Mutual Funds that are held within the 401(k) account of
persons subject to the Code of Ethics ("Access Persons"). So, purchases or sales of the
Intrepid Mutual Funds in the Intrepid Profit Sharing/401(k) Plan are exempt from
preclearance, as discussed below.
Access Persons may not purchase or sell, directly or indirectly, any Covered Security in which he has, or by reason of
such transaction acquires, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership unless such purchase or sale has been
"precleared" by the Adviser's Chief Compliance Officer. This preclearance requirement does not apply to any of the
following transactions:
• Purchases or sales effected in any account over which the Access Person has no direct or
indirect influence or control.
• Purchases or sales of Covered Securities which are not eligible for purchase or sale by any
Intrepid Mutual Fund, any private fund advised us, or any separately managed account
advised by us; provided, however, that the prohibition against participating in initial public
offerings applies.
• Purchases or sales which are non-volitional on the part of the Access Person.
• Purchases or sales pursuant to model portfolios managed by us.
• Purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan.
• Purchases effected upon the exercise of rights issued by an issuer pro rata to all holders
of a class of its securities, to the extent such rights were acquired from such issuer, and
sales of such rights so acquired.
1400 Marsh Landing Parkway, Suite106 I Jacksonville, Florida 32250 I 904.246.3433 I www.intrepidcapital.net
Page 23 of 31
• Purchases or sales which receive the prior approval of the Board of Trustees of the Intrepid
Mutual Funds; provided, however, that the prohibitions regarding initial public offerings and
limited offerings apply.
Records will be maintained of all securities bought or sold by us or our employees. We require all new
employees disclose all of their, their spouse's, and any beneficial ownership accounts that they have, as
well as, the holdings in these accounts. All employees are required to provide monthly or quarterly holdings
reports, depending on the type of account, to the CCO. These reports are reviewed for compliance
purposes.
Our Compliance Manual, in conjunction with our Code of Ethics, sets forth our policy that clients' interests
are always placed ahead of any corporate or personal interest. Our policies require our employees to do
their purchasing and selling after transactions have been completed for all client accounts and include the
procedures that require all employees to pre-clear their personal securities transactions except for those
limited transactions accepted (see above) from the pre-clearance requirement. We believe that the Code
of Ethics and Compliance Manual, are designed to detect and prevent insider trading, to govern personal
securities trading, and are appropriate to prevent or eliminate potential conflicts of interest situations
between the Adviser, our employees, and our clients. However, clients should be aware that no set of rules
can possibly anticipate or relieve all potential conflicts.
A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to our clients upon a written request.

ITEM 12: BROKERAGE PRACTICES
Our clients in an SMA are required to provide written discretionary authority to us to select and execute
transactions on their behalf. Clients may direct us to enter orders for their account with certain broker -
dealers. However, such a client is advised that their account may not receive as favorable a price on a
transaction as it would if we had discretion to choose the broker-dealer to affect the transaction. For those
clients' accounts where we have discretion to choose the broker-dealer to affect the transaction on the
account, the broker-dealers are chosen to achieve the best overall services for the clients' accounts.
Generally, transaction fees are negotiated. Consistent with our policy to obtain best execution,
transactions are placed with broker-dealers after giving consideration to the following:
• The past experience/proven ability of broker to perform;
• Difficulty of execution for stock or bond in question (liquidity, volatility, broker speed and
communication feedback);
• Ability to allocate block trades for multiple accounts at average pricing;
• Availability of soft dollar or other research incentives;
• Ability to handle/provide size execution;
• Ability to service special account needs (certification/transfers etc.); and
• Purely price of commission alone.
We use block trading and aggregation of orders for our clients. When decisions are made to purchase or
sell securities for a number of clients, simultaneously, the transactions are generally averaged as to price
and are allocated as to amount in accordance with the daily purchase or sell orders actually executed for
each client. The allocation of block trades to several accounts occurs by weighing the following factors:
• The liquidity of the issue in question and broker ability to execute without negatively
effecting price and speed of response;
• The availability or need for cash in a given account;
• The relative size or position of the issue in question relative to other accounts;
• The size of orders to be executed through the same broker; and
• After considering the above factors, trades will typically be executed broker by broker to
avoid the adverse effect on price of multiple interests.
All trades are allocated and transmitted to brokers by the end of the trading day. In the event of a partial fill,
shares will be allocated pro-rata based on original total order quantity, unless it proves cost-prohibitive for
some accounts to receive their pro-rata portion, in which case shares will be filled randomly. We use
Advent's Moxy to determine order quantities and calculate pro-rata and random allocations when
necessary.
Exact pro-rata allocations may not be achieved due to rounding of quantities to achieve round lot positions
in client accounts. In instances where accounts are required or deemed cost-effective to trade at
different brokers, accounts are likely to receive different execution prices. But, generally, all accounts
traded at a specific broker dealer will receive the same average price.

Page 25 of 31
Pursuant to Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we have soft dollar
arrangements whereby we have the discretionary authority to select broker-dealers who may charge
commissions in excess of the lowest available commissions, in recognition of the value of products or
services provided by the broker-dealer to us. The products or services arranged or provided by the broker-
dealer may be used in servicing all of our clients, but may or may not be used in connection with accounts
that have paid commissions to the broker-dealer providing the service. Research products and services
may include access to proprietary research systems, access to third party providers of pricing and
performance
information, discounts on software applications and other business-related
expenditures. These arrangements will only affect the clients we have brokerage discretion over, and
where we have determined in good faith that such commissions are reasonable in relation to the value of
the research and execution of products/services received from the broker-dealer. One of our principals
will periodically review to evaluate the research and execution products/services we receive under the
arrangements. Such research includes information in the form of written and oral reports, reports
accessed by computers and terminals, statistical collations, appraisals and analyses relating to markets,
companies, industries and economic factors. The execution products received are designed to assist us
in facilitating timely trade executions and support our ability y in trying to obtain best price execution for
the client trades.
When we use commissions to obtain research or other products or services, we receive a benefit because
we do not have to produce or pay for the research, products or services; thus, we may have an incentive
to select or recommend a broker-dealer based on our interest in receiving the research or other products
or services, rat her than on our clients' interest in receiving most favorable execution.

ITEM 13: REVIEW OF ACCOUNTS
Accounts for clients with a SMA, will be reviewed monthly, quarterly, and annually as well as daily in
periods of rapidly changing markets. Reviewers include technical analysts, corporate officers, and
administrative and trading personnel. We will review time weighted rates of return for various periods
as well as investment alternatives. Clients with a SMA will receive monthly statements from their
custodian. Most custodians also offer online access to the account. Clients will also receive quarterly
reports from the Adviser, and in addition, have the ability to request an ad-hoc report or retrieve reports
electronically.
Investments held in the ICFT are reviewed daily. Clients with investments in the mutual funds of the ICFT
will receive quarterly statements from the custodian unless they have chosen to receive electronic
communications. Online access to their accounts is also available.
Investments in the Partnership are reviewed daily, and the Partnership's performance is reviewed monthly.
Limited partners in the Partnership will receive a quarterly statement provided by the Adviser and a copy

ITEM 15: CUSTODY
We do not maintain physical custody of client assets. However, in some circumstances we may be deemed to have
constructive custody:
• As the general partner for the Private Investment Fund, we are considered by the SEC to
have constructive custody of the Private Investment Fund's assets. We do not have to
have surprise examinations conducted in connection with such custody, as investors in
the Private Investment Fund receive annual audited financial statements.
• With regard to "third party" money movement authority, the SEC has stated that standing
letters of authorization (SLOAs) that grant "third-party" money movement authority to an
investment adviser constitute custody. However, if we comply with certain conditions
prescribed by the SEC, we do not have to have surprise examinations conducted in
connection with such custody, and we comply with those conditions.
• With regard to "first party" money movement authority, we require that the client provide
the sending custodian a signed authorization form listing the receiving account number(s)
at other outside financial institutions. Under these circumstances, we are not deemed to
have custody of such assets.
Clients in an SMA will receive statements from us. They should carefully review and compare the
statements they receive from the custodian of their account with the statements they receive from us.
Clients in the mutual funds of the ICFT will receive statements from the transfer agent where the account
is being held. Clients should carefully review the statements they receive.
The Partnership is a private investment fund, and as the General Partner, the Adviser is deemed to have
custody of the assets even though the assets are held by an unaffiliated, third -party custodian. Limited
partners in the Partnership will receive a quarterly statement provided by the Adviser and a copy of the
Partnership's annual financial statements with an accompanying independent auditor's report. Clients
should carefully review their statements and the Partnership's annual financial statement s.

ITEM 16: INVESTMENT DISCRETION
Clients with a SMA shall be required to provide written discretionary authority to the Firm to select and
execute transactions on their behalf. SMA clients may set limits on investment discretion by specifying
certain securities they do not want held in their account, or by setting other limits, subject to agreement by
us. Clients may direct the Firm to enter orders for their account with certain broker-dealers. The Adviser
assumes discretionary authority after the following procedures have taken place.
• The Adviser's discretionary investment advisory agreement has been completed and
signed by the client.
• The custodian's account application is completed and signed by the client indicating that
we have investment authority and trading discretion on the account.
• A copy of the Adviser's most recent Form ADV is delivered to the client.
ITEM 17: VOTING CLIENT SECURITIES
The Adviser will vote proxies for client accounts under our management unless the client expressly
requests that we do not do so. The Adviser votes proxies in a manner that it believes is consistent with
the economic best interests of each company. In accordance with its duty of care, the Adviser monitors
proxy proposals just as it monitors other corporate events affecting the companies in which we invest.
• With respect to routine matters, the Adviser will tend to vote with management, although it
reserves the right to vote otherwise. Routine proposals are those that do not change the
structure, bylaws or operations of the company.
• The Adviser will generally tend to vote with management with respect to social, environmental, or
political proposals.
• The Adviser generally votes against poison pills, green mail, super-majority voting
provisions, golden parachute arrangements, staggered board arrangements and the
creation of classes of stock with superior voting rights.
• The Adviser will generally vote in favor of maintaining preemptive rights for shareholders and
cumulative voting rights.
• Whether or not the Adviser votes in favor of or against a proposal to a merger,
acquisition or spin off depends on its evaluation of the impact of the transaction on the
security.
• The Adviser generally votes in favor of transactions paying what it believes to be a fair
price in cash or liquid securities and against transactions which it believes do not.
In circumstances that the Adviser would vote against management's recommendations, an explanation as
to the reason for divergence from the recommendation would be documented and maintained by the
Adviser. There may be instances where the interests of the Adviser may conflict or appear to conflict with
the interests of its clients. In such situations, the Adviser will, consistent with its duty of care and duty of
loyalty, vote the securities in accordance with its pre-determined voting policy, but only after disclosing any
such conflict to clients and affording them the opportunity to direct the Adviser in the voting of such
securities.
Upon request, clients may obtain information from the Adviser about how it voted client securities by
contacting us (904) 246-3433. A copy of the Adviser's proxy voting policies and procedures is also
available upon request.

ITEM 18: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

disclose any financial condition that is reasonable likely to impair our ability to meet our contractual
obligations. There are no financial conditions to disclose which would impair the Advisor's ability to meet
contractual commitments to clients.
Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 per client more than
six months in advance of services rendered. Therefore, we are not required to include a financial
statement.
