Part 2B of Form ADV: Brochure Supplement for Shannon Pitcher 1 | P a g e Item 4 Advisory Business Terry McDaniel & Company is an investment counseling firm. We are organized as a Sub-S Corporation. Our primary business is the management of stock and bond portfolios for a wide variety of clients. These clients include individuals, individual retirement accounts, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. We structure each portfolio separately depending on the investment return, risk and other requirements of each client. The overall context of the client’s situation, including income, total assets, insurance coverage, tax and family matters, is important to us in the structuring of each portfolio. We invest in the stocks of individual companies and bonds of individual issuers, including the U.S. Government. We sometimes invest in mutual funds for smaller portfolios where individual securities are impractical. Our assets under management as of 12/31/24 are: Discretionary $1,653,707,448.00 Non-discretionary $123,376,547.00 Item 5 Fees and Compensation The firm offers investment advisory services for a percentage of assets under management. The current fee schedule is as follows: First $ 2 million....…………………………………….…….…1.0% per year Next $ 23 million………………………………………………0.75% per year Next $ 75 million………………………………………………0.50% per year Above $100 million……………………………...………….….0.25% per year Under the terms of the firm’s standard form investment advisory agreement, the compensation of the firm is payable quarterly in advance. Clients may elect to be billed directly or give authorization to have fees deducted from accounts electronically. In the event of termination during a quarter, any compensation paid in advance shall be refunded to the client in the amount equal to the quarterly fee prorated from the date of termination. The client may terminate the investment advisory agreement, without penalty, any time within 5 days of signing the agreement. Thereafter, the agreement may be terminated upon 30 days written notice by either party. Fees are negotiable in certain instances. In addition to fees paid directly to the firm for investment supervisory services, clients may also be assessed fees by custodians or other parties to their assets. This may result in multiple fees being assessed on the same assets. As one but not the only example, money market funds or closed-end investment companies may constitute a portion of portfolios. In those cases, clients may incur management fees or other charges by managers of those assets while at the same time being charged fees by the firm on those same assets. 2 | P a g e Item 6 Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management - (Does not apply) Item 7 Types of Clients The firm generally provides investment advisory services to a wide variety of clients. These clients include individuals, retirement plans, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The minimum dollar amount of assets required for the establishment and maintenance of an investment advisory account is $1,000,000. There are circumstances under which this minimum may be waived. Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss The firm maintains a staff of investment securities analysts who conduct research into the stocks and bonds used in portfolios. The firm requires that each of these analysts holds a Chartered Financial Analyst credential issued by the CFA Institute, or that the analyst be enrolled in the CFA program working toward that credential. The CFA program, requiring a series of three examinations on analytical matters generally taken over three years, is recognized world-wide as a high standard in the investment industry. We employ two investment strategies, Equity and Fixed Income. We tailor these strategies based on each client’s objectives, return requirements and tolerance for risk. In most cases, this results in a balance between the two strategies for each client. Equity Strategy Investment Objective: Our equity strategy seeks to achieve long-term income and capital appreciation while attempting to manage portfolio risk. Principal Investment Strategy: Our analysis of stock investments is a “bottom-up” approach relying heavily on the fundamental analysis of individual companies. This analysis identifies high quality companies based on various criteria, such as profitability, balance sheet quality, competition, market share positions, management considerations and essential products and services, among other items. The strategy typically holds equity securities of approximately 25 companies. The strategy does not have any market capitalization considerations. Changes to portfolio positions are infrequent and portfolio turnover is low. Material Risks: Equity Securities are subject to many forms of risk. General market volatility, sometimes significant, cannot be predicted. Therefore, wide swings in equity portfolio values cannot be avoided. Individual companies can also experience unexpected events such as disappointing revenue and earnings revisions which can negatively affect their prices. Finally, although we take care in our analyses and subsequent expectations about the prospects of companies we recommend, we could very well be wrong, resulting in possible loss of capital. 3 | P a g e Fixed Income Strategy Investment Objective: Our fixed income strategy seeks to provide stable income while attempting to manage interest rate and credit risk. Principal Investment Strategy: Our analysis of bond investments emphasizes high credit quality and liquidity. Our fixed income strategy typically invests in investment-grade fixed income securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and/or municipal fixed income securities. Investments are typically in fixed income securities with short-to-intermediate maturities from one to ten years. The strategy takes into consideration the tax status of each individual client. Material Risks: Fixed Income Securities are subject to many forms of risk. Like equity markets, fixed income markets are subject to unpredictable volatility caused by such factors as changes in general interest rate levels, inflation expectations and changes in tax rates. Individual bonds can decline in value because of a decline in credit quality. We could at any time also be wrong in our assessments, resulting in a loss of capital. Like the risks to equity investments, fixed income investments are subject to a myriad of risks too numerous to fully detail and should not be considered to offer complete safety. This discussion of methods of analysis, strategies and risk is necessarily limited and is not intended to be complete and all-encompassing. We especially intend to convey that regardless of the care taken in investment research and selection, investing comes with risk of loss, regardless of how conservative the strategy may be. The client should be prepared to bear this risk. Item 9 Disciplinary Information - (Does not apply.) Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations - (Does not apply.) Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading Members of the firm must comply with applicable federal securities laws. Client interests are always placed and prioritized above our own interests. Members of the firm are obligated to avoid any action that would conflict with or be detrimental to our clients’ interests. Members of the firm must avoid any opportunity to personally profit, through investment activity of their own, from price movements related to the management of client funds. 4 | P a g e Personal investment activity is that of any of these parties in an account in which they have a direct or beneficial interest. From time to time employees of the firm may engage in securities transactions for their own personal accounts. These trades are enacted by them personally. In order to avoid any actions that would be in conflict with clients’ interests, employees of the firm are required to obtain prior written approval for securities transactions. Employees are prohibited from executing a securities transaction on any day during which a client has a pending trade order in that same security until that order is executed or withdrawn. Employees are prohibited from engaging in short-term trading activities. As a safeguard in avoiding conflicts of interest, employees are required to submit to the firm’s compliance officer a quarterly report of all personal securities transactions for all immediate family members living in an employee’s household. They are also required to disclose all personal securities holdings on an annual basis. Item 12 Brokerage Practices From time to time, the firm purchases bonds for clients from sources other than those having custody of client assets, requiring delivery of such bonds into the client’s account for which the custodian may charge a fee, termed a “trade away” fee. For example, Charles Schwab & Co., which acts as custodian for accounts, charges a $20.00 “trade away” fee, per transaction, for receipt of bonds purchased from other sources. This fee, charged by Charles Schwab and Co., and any other fee by any other custodian, is taken into account by the firm and is, with regard to any specific trade done through a source other than the custodian of the clients’ accounts, considered consistent with the responsibility of the firm to supply the best execution at the lowest cost consistent with financial integrity and acceptable service. Clients may, if they wish, choose their own broker. If the client has no broker preference, the firm directs brokerage to those firms supplying the best execution at the lowest cost consistent with financial integrity and acceptable service. The firm does not believe such discretionary brokerage results in clients paying commissions higher than those obtainable from other brokers. If the client designates the broker or brokers to be used, the firm’s ability to achieve best execution and/or lower cost may be diminished and the client may incur higher transaction costs. The firm does not ordinarily combine or “bunch” orders from different accounts when placing trades with brokers. This may result in a client paying higher commission costs than if trades were combined. This trading method, a result of the firm’s policy, where feasible and consistent with best price and best execution considerations, of consulting with each client before trading in the account, also will ordinarily result in clients receiving different prices for transactions in the same security due to the random timing of trade placement. 5 | P a g e Item 13 Review of Accounts A formal review by a portfolio manager is performed quarterly of each client account. Interim reviews are performed upon the advisory client’s request or upon the occurrence of any event considered by the firm to have materially affected a holding or an advisory client’s financial or personal circumstances. Each account is reviewed in light of the firm’s investment policy as well as the objectives and circumstances of the client. At the end of each calendar quarter, the firm conducts an appraisal of each client’s portfolio(s) and mails to the client. Trade confirmations and monthly statements are furnished by the account custodian. Any member of the firm involved in determining or giving investment advice to clients possesses an undergraduate degree and two years business experience. The firm has adopted a Code of Ethics to ensure the priority of the interests of our clients. A copy of the firm’s Code of Ethics is available upon request. The member also holds the designation of Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) issued by the CFA Institute or is enrolled and pursuing that Charter. Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation - (Does not apply.) Item 15 Custody Terry McDaniel & Company does not hold, physically or otherwise, securities or other assets of clients. These are held by broker/dealers, banks or other qualified custodians. These custodians furnish regular account statements to clients. Terry McDaniel & Company also sends regular reports to clients identifying their investment holdings. Clients are urged to compare the account statements they receive from the qualified custodian with those they receive from Terry McDaniel & Company. Even though a firm may not have physical custody of client assets, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) considers a firm to have custody if it can direct client assets to be transferred to other accounts. Terry McDaniel does have this form of custody in certain instances. In those cases, safeguards are in place to prevent the abuse of such arrangements. Item 16 Investment Discretion Prior to June 30, 2008 the firm offered clients a non-discretionary option. This option required the firm to consult with the client prior to effecting changes in the portfolio. After June 30, 2008 the non-discretionary option is no longer available, the firm now offers only the discretionary option. 6 | P a g e Item 17 Voting Client Securities Terry McDaniel & Company does not vote proxies for clients. Proxies will be delivered to clients through their custodians. Clients bear responsibility for voting proxies.
