preceding billing as calculated by your custodian.
The method of fee payment (advance, arrears, direct debit or invoice) is documented in the
investment management agreement we have with each Client.
Investments in mutual funds may incur management fees in addition to those charged by
McMahan (see below).
General Information on Advisory Services / Fees
1. All client accounts may be invested in mutual funds, exchange traded funds (or
similar securities). These securities carry additional fees and expenses (including
advisory fees) that are in addition to McMahan’s fees for our services. As a result,
you should evaluate the total of the fees to ensure the services received are
reasonable from a total cost perspective.
2. McMahan’s fees are not negotiable whether for advisory or financial planning
services. In no event will Client be charged more than the published fee schedule.
3. Accounts for employees and their family members (or friends of McMahan) may
be managed for reduced fees or no fee. Exceptions to our standard fees charged to
Clients who are not employees, their family members or friends of the firm may
result in a conflict of interest and possibly variation in the degree to which the
Page 4
McMahan Capital Management.
v.03122025
accounts are managed. However, our services are consistently provided to all
clients, including those described here.
4. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.
Item 6: Performance-based fees and Side-by-Side Management
McMahan does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital
gains or capital appreciation of the client’s assets).
Item 7: Types of Clients
McMahan provides investment advisory services to:
individuals,
trusts,
estates,
corporations;
pensions and/or profit-sharing plans; and
non-profit organizations
McMahan does not require a minimum to establish an investment advisory account.
Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies, and Risk of Loss
McMahan’s methods of analysis and investment strategies include:
fundamental,
technical and cyclical
Page 5
McMahan Capital Management.
v.03122025
The types of investments recommended are:
equity securities (including exchange-listed securities, securities traded over-the-
counter and foreign issuers through ADRs (American depository receipts traded
on US exchanges),
corporate debt securities,
warrants,
commercial paper,
certificates of deposit,
municipal securities,
investment company securities (including variable life insurance, variable
annuities and mutual fund shares),
U.S. Government securities and participation or interests in client transactions,
interests in partnerships investing in real estate and/or oil and gas interests.
options contracts on securities,
The main sources of research information used by McMahan include:
financial newspapers and magazines,
research materials prepared by others,
corporate rating services,
timing services,
annual reports,
prospectuses,
filings with the SEC and company press releases.
McMahan uses the following strategies in its investment advisory business: long-term
purchases (securities held longer than one year), short-term purchases (securities sold
within a year), and covered option writing.
Risk of Loss:
All investments are subject to the following principal risks:
The value of securities in the portfolio will go up and down. Consequently, the overall
valuation of the account may decline, and you could lose money. The stock market is
subject to significant fluctuations in value because of political, economic, and market
developments. If the stock market declines in value, the portfolio is likely to decline in
value. Because of changes in the financial condition or prospects of specific companies,
the individual stocks selected by McMahan may decline in value, causing the account to
decline in value.
Page 6
McMahan Capital Management.
v.03122025
Investing in securities involves a certain amount of risk of loss that clients should be
prepared to bear. Where short-term trading methods are used, the cost of more frequent
trades can often incur more expense than that of a more conservative or long-term purchase
approach. Questions regarding these risks and/or increased costs may be directed to the
firm and its representatives.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
McMahan will provide clients with disclosures as to any legal or disciplinary activities
deemed material to the client’s evaluation of the adviser.
Neither the firm nor its personnel have any disciplinary, regulatory, criminal, civil, or
otherwise reportable history to disclose at this time.
Item 10: Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Please note, neither the Firm nor its personnel have any other financial industry activities
and affiliations to disclose at this time.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions
and Personal Trading
Code of Ethics:
McMahan has adopted a Code of Ethics. The Firm has determined to set forth guidelines
for professional standards, under which all employees of the Firm are to conduct
themselves. The Firm has set high standards, the intention of which is to protect client
interests at all times and to demonstrate its commitment to its fiduciary duties of honesty,
good faith and fair dealing with clients.
All employees are expected to strictly adhere to these guidelines, as well as the procedures
for approval and reporting established in the Code of Ethics primarily related to personal
securities transactions and including a gifts and entertainment policy. This will serve to
educate employees regarding appropriate activities.
A copy of the Firm’s Code of Ethics will be provided to any client upon request by
contacting Mr. Jeff McMahan at (317) 573-2202.
Participation of Interest in Client Transactions:
We follow our own advice. Therefore, our employees and principals of McMahan from
time to time may have an interest in securities which are recommended to or owned by
Page 7
McMahan Capital Management.
v.03122025
McMahan clients. Employees may buy or sell securities identical to those recommended
to customers for their personal accounts. Even though McMahan employees are investors
who could not noticeable affect the market, the fact that we own, purchase or sell the same
securities (at the same time or different times) as we recommend or purchase or sell
securities for Clients poses a conflict of interest.
Accordingly, McMahan has adopted procedures relating to trading practices that are
intended to ensure that we satisfy our fiduciary responsibilities to you.
These restrictions apply to all McMahan employees with the authority to place trades.
Statement Policy and Procedure on Insider Trading:
McMahan has also established procedures to prevent the misuse of material, nonpublic
information by McMahan, its officers or employees. These procedures include a
prohibition on the use of any such information either personally or on behalf of any client,
no matter how innocently the information may have been acquired.
Reporting Requirements:
In addition, officers and employees must submit copies of monthly or quarterly reports of
their own equity holdings to the CCO for review, report personal securities transactions,
on a quarterly basis and complete a disclosure of personal securities accounts, members of
their households, outside business activity upon hire and annually.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
As described under Item 4, above, we may have investment discretion to select the
securities and amount of securities for your accounts that we manage (see Item 16, below).
Our recommendations and decisions that we implement are based on our determination of
suitability of the recommendation for your specific investment objectives and needs.
When we have investment discretion, we select the security, the amount of security and
timing of the transaction. We then place the transaction without obtaining your specific
consent on a transaction-by-transaction basis.
Discretionary Brokerage: Included in discretionary authority is the authority to select the
broker or dealer to be used in the purchase and sale of securities, in which case the
commission rates paid are based on institutional discounts or discount brokerage fee
schedules.
Directed Brokerage: Some clients may have a pre-established relationship with a broker
and will instruct McMahan to execute all transactions through that broker. In this case, it
Page 8
McMahan Capital Management.
v.03122025
is understood that McMahan may not have authority to negotiate commissions or obtain
volume discounts and best execution may not be achieved. When the client chooses the
broker, there may be a disparity between the commissions a client pays and those paid by
other clients who do not direct us to use a broker or those clients who direct us to use
different brokers.
Brokerage Accounts with Schwab:
McMahan recommends that clients establish brokerage accounts with the Schwab
Institutional division of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”) , registered broker dealer,
member Securities Investors Protection Corporation (SIPC). Schwab is an independent
and third party qualified custodian, to maintain custody of clients’ assets and to effect
trades for their accounts.
McMahan is independently owned and operated and is not affiliated with Schwab. Schwab
provides McMahan with access to its institutional trading and custody services, which are
typically not available to Schwab retail investors. These services generally are available
to independent investment advisors on an unsolicited basis, at no charge to them so long
as a total of at least $10 million of the advisor’s clients’ assets are maintained in accounts
at Schwab and are not otherwise contingent upon McMahan committing to Schwab any
specific amount of business (assets in custody or trading).
Schwab’s services include brokerage, custody, research and access to mutual funds and
other investments that are generally available only to institutional investors or would
require a significantly higher minimum initial investment.
For McMahan client accounts maintained in their custody, Schwab generally does not
charge separately for custody but are compensated by account holders through
commissions or other transaction-related fees for securities traded that are executed
through Schwab or that settle into Schwab accounts.
As a fiduciary, McMahan endeavors to act in its clients’ best interests, McMahan
recommends that clients maintain their assets in accounts at Schwab may be based in part
on the benefit to McMahan of some of the services and products provided by Schwab and
not solely on the nature, cost or quality of custody and brokerage services provided by
Schwab, which may create a potential conflict of interest.
Schwab may make available, arrange and/or pay for these types of services rendered to
McMahan by independent third parties. Schwab may discount or waive fees it would
otherwise charge for some of these services or pay all or a part of the fees of a third-party
providing these services to McMahan.
Clients may at times pay commissions to brokers not directly responsible for the particular
research or services which led to or facilitated the transaction generating the commission.
Page 9
McMahan Capital Management.
v.03122025
Conversely, they may benefit from research or service paid for by commissions paid by
others. McMahan balances its use of brokers to ensure that commissions do not exceed the
value of any research and service provided and also to ensure that clients receive fair
benefit from research and investment services provided to McMahan in exchange for the
commissions they pay.
Item 13: Reviews of Accounts
Investment Advisory Accounts:
On a quarterly basis, asset management clients will be monitored and updated. A written
report will generally be prepared and presented by McMahan on a quarterly basis and not
less than annually.
In addition, McMahan reports generally quarterly but not less than annually to each client
on the investment amounts, current values, cash flow for the period, and any changes made
during the previous quarter. At year-end, clients are provided with a full report, which
includes depending on the custodian, such matters as dividends, interest and the capital
gains/losses resulting from transactions throughout the year.
Individual portfolio managers update investment policies as needed and independently
review the client portfolios they manage. Account managers review, among other issues:
portfolio performance, withdrawals and additions, and portfolio segmentations and
allocation.
Reports on advisory accounts are normally provided monthly by Schwab, the independent
and third-party qualified custodians. Such reports include, among other items:
A list of individual securities
Market value of individual securities
Dividends and interest to date
Market value of the portfolio
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
McMahan does not receive other compensation.
Item 15: Custody
McMahan does not maintain or accept custody of client funds or securities.
Page 10
McMahan Capital Management.
v.03122025
Item 16: Investment Discretion
McMahan practices custom management of portfolios, on a discretionary basis, according
to the client’s objectives.
McMahan has discretionary authority to determine:
(1) the securities to be bought or sold for a client’s account;
(2) amount of securities to be bought or sold for a client’s account.
In all cases, however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the
stated investment objectives for the particular client account.
The client should report any change in their personal information, financial situation and/or
investment objective to the Firm promptly in writing.
Non-discretion means that we must obtain your specific consent (verbal or in writing) on
a transaction-by-transaction basis. As a result, clients must be available to McMahan
during market hours. If we cannot reach you to approve recommended transactions, we
cannot place those transactions on your behalf (and you may suffer economic loss due to
rapidly moving markets (up or down).
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
McMahan does not vote nor does McMahan have authority to vote proxies for clients.
Item 18: Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose certain financial information or
disclosures about McMahan Capital Management’s financial condition. The Firm has no
financial commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary
commitments to clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
Prepayment threshold: McMahan does not require prepayment of $500 or more in fees per
client, six months or more in advance.
Item 19: Requirements of State Registered Advisers
Please refer to Part 2B for further information with respect to firm personnel.

Miscellaneous: Additional Information
Privacy Policy:
Protecting client privacy is very important. McMahan views protecting its customers'
private information as a top priority and, pursuant to the requirements of the federal
Gramm- Leach- Bliley-Act, McMahan has instituted policies and procedures to ensure that
customer information is kept private and secure.
McMahan does not disclose any nonpublic personal information about its customers or
former customers to any nonaffiliated third parties, except as permitted by law. In the
course of servicing a client's account, McMahan may share some information with its
service providers, such as transfer agents, custodians, broker-dealers, accountants, and
lawyers, where and if applicable.
McMahan restricts internal access to nonpublic personal information about the client to
those associated persons of McMahan who need access to that information in order to
provide services to the client. As emphasized above, it has always been and will always be
McMahan policy never to sell information about current or former customers or their
accounts to anyone. It is also McMahan policy not to share information unless required to
process a transaction, at the request of a customer, or as required by law.
McMahan prohibits the disclosure of any client related non-public or personal information
to third parties unless authorized by the client or as otherwise provided by law. A copy of
the Firm’s Privacy Policy may be obtained from Mr. Jeff A. McMahan, CCO at (317) 573-

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, CFP® and federally registered CFP (with
flame design) marks (collectively, the “CFP® marks”) are professional certification
marks granted in the United States by Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards,
Inc. (“CFP Board”).
The CFP® certification is a voluntary certification; no federal or state law or regulation
requires financial planners to hold CFP® certification. It is recognized in the United
States and a number of other countries for its (1) high standard of professional education;
(2) stringent code of conduct and standards of practice; and (3) ethical requirements that
govern professional engagements with clients. Currently, more than 62,000 individuals
have obtained CFP® certification in the United States.
To attain the right to use the CFP® marks, an individual must satisfactorily fulfill the
following requirements:
Education – Complete an advanced college-level course of study addressing the
financial planning subject areas that CFP Board’s studies have determined as
necessary for the competent and professional delivery of financial planning
services, and attain a Bachelor’s Degree from a regionally accredited United
States college or university (or its equivalent from a foreign university). CFP
Board’s financial planning subject areas include insurance planning and risk
management, employee benefits planning, investment planning, income tax
planning, retirement planning, and estate planning;
Examination – Pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Examination. The
