Item 4 – Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Hunter Keith Industries, Inc. (“HKI” or the “Advisor”) is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (“LLC”) under the laws of
the State of Minnesota. HKI is owned by Andrew McDonald Hunter III (Co-Chairman and President) and Robert
Johnstone Keith, Jr. (Chairman). The Principal Officer of HKI is Todd M. Thorsen, CFA® (Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Compliance Officer). This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications,
business practices, and the advisory services provided by HKI.
B. Advisory Services Offered
HKI offers investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, and businesses
(each referred to as a “Client”). HKI provides a range of family office services to our client families. We can provide
your family with, advice, recommendations, and/or management in the following areas: financial planning;
investment management (asset allocation, portfolio construction, investment vehicle selection, portfolio monitoring
and discretionary management); family governance, succession planning; service provider selection; and
consolidated reporting. We work closely with you to identify your investment goals and objectives, as well as risk
tolerance and financial situation in order to develop an investment approach.
HKI serves as a fiduciary to Clients, as defined under the applicable laws and regulations. As a fiduciary, the
Advisor upholds a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client and seeks to mitigate potential
conflicts of interest. HKI’s fiduciary commitment is further described in the Advisor’s Code of Ethics. For more
information regarding the Code of Ethics, please see Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client
Transactions and Personal Trading.
Investment Management Services
HKI provides customized investment advisory solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through continuous personal
Client contact and interaction while providing primarily discretionary investment management and related advisory
services. HKI works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals and objectives as well as risk
tolerance and financial situation in order to create a portfolio strategy. HKI will then construct an investment
portfolio, consisting primarily of individual stocks, individual bonds, and/or exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) to
achieve the Client’s investment goals. The Advisor may also utilize mutual funds, third party money managers
(herein “Independent Managers”) and/or other investment approaches to meet the needs of the Client. The Advisor
may retain other types of investments from the Client’s legacy portfolio due to fit with the overall portfolio strategy,
tax-related reasons, or other reasons as identified between the Advisor and the Client.
HKI’s investment strategies are primarily long-term focused, but the Advisor may buy, sell or re-allocate positions
that have been held for less than one year to meet the objectives of the Client or due to market conditions. HKI will
construct, implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk
tolerance agreed to by the Client. Each Client will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types
of investments to be held in their respective portfolio, subject to acceptance by the Advisor.
HKI evaluates and selects investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying its internal due diligence
process. HKI may recommend, on occasion, redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. HKI may
recommend specific positions to increase sector or asset class weightings. The Advisor may recommend
employing cash positions as a possible hedge against market movement.
HKI may recommend selling positions for reasons that include, but are not limited to, harvesting capital gains or
losses, business or sector risk exposure to a specific security or class of securities, overvaluation or overweighting
of the position[s] in the portfolio, change in risk tolerance of the Client, generating cash to meet Client needs, or any
risk deemed unacceptable for the Client’s risk tolerance.
Retirement Accounts – When the Advisor provides investment advice to Clients regarding ERISA retirement
accounts or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”), the Advisor is a fiduciary within the meaning of Title I of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) and/or the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as applicable,
Hunter Keith Industries, Inc.
681 Lake Street East, Suite 262, Wayzata, MN 55391
Phone: (612) 204-0405
Page 4
which are laws governing retirement accounts. When deemed to be in the Client’s best interest, the Advisor will
provide investment advice to a Client regarding a distribution from an ERISA retirement account or to roll over the
assets to an IRA, or recommend a similar transaction including rollovers from one ERISA sponsored Plan to
another, one IRA to another IRA, or from one type of account to another account (e.g. commission-based account
to fee-based account). Such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if the Advisor will earn a new (or
increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the transaction. No client is under any obligation to roll over a
retirement account to an account managed by the Advisor.
Use of Independent Managers – HKI will recommend that Clients utilize one or more unaffiliated investment
managers or investment platforms (collectively “Independent Managers”) for all or a portion of a Client’s investment
portfolio, based on the Client’s needs and objectives. In such instances, the Client will be required to authorize and
enter into an investment management agreement with an Independent Manager that defines the terms in which the
Independent Manager will provide its services. The Advisor will perform initial and ongoing oversight and due
diligence over each Independent Manager to ensure the strategy remains aligned with Clients investment
objectives and overall best interests. The Advisor will also assist the Client in the development of the initial policy
recommendations and managing the ongoing Client relationship. The Client, prior to entering into an agreement
with an Independent Manager, will be provided with the Independent Manager's Form ADV Part 2A - Disclosure
Brochure (or a brochure that makes the appropriate disclosures).
Financial Planning Services
HKI will typically provide a variety of financial planning and consulting services to Clients, pursuant to a written
financial planning agreement. Services are offered in several areas of a Client’s financial situation, depending on
their goals and objectives. Generally, such financial planning services involve preparing a formal financial plan or
rendering a specific financial consultation based on the Client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or
consulting may encompass one or more areas of need, including but not limited to, investment planning, retirement
planning, personal savings, education savings, insurance needs, and/or other areas of a Client’s financial situation.
A financial plan developed for, or financial consultation rendered to the Client will usually include general
recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the Client. For example,
recommendations may be made that the Client start or revise their investment programs, commence or alter
retirement savings, establish education savings and/or charitable giving programs.
HKI may also refer Clients to an accountant, attorney or other specialists, as appropriate for their unique situation.
For certain financial planning engagements, the Advisor will provide a written summary of the Client’s financial
situation, observations, and recommendations. For consulting or ad-hoc engagements, the Advisor may not provide
a written summary. Plans or consultations are typically completed within six (6) quarters of contract date, assuming
all information and documents requested are provided promptly.
Financial planning and consulting recommendations pose a conflict between the interests of the Advisor and the
interests of the Client. For example, the Advisor has an incentive to recommend that Clients engage the Advisor for
investment management services or to increase the level of investment assets with the Advisor, as it would
increase the amount of advisory fees paid to the Advisor. Clients are not obligated to implement any
recommendations made by the Advisor or maintain an ongoing relationship with the Advisor. If the Client elects to
act on any of the recommendations made by the Advisor, the Client is under no obligation to implement the
transaction through the Advisor.
C. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging HKI to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into one or more
written agreements with the Advisor that define the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor
and the Client. These services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy – HKI, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that seeks
to achieve the Client’s goals and objectives.
Hunter Keith Industries, Inc.
681 Lake Street East, Suite 262, Wayzata, MN 55391
Phone: (612) 204-0405
Page 5
• Asset Allocation – HKI will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the investment
objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk for each Client.
• Portfolio Construction – HKI will develop a portfolio for the Client that is intended to meet the stated goals
and objectives of the Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision – HKI will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client’s investment portfolio.
D. Wrap Fee Programs
HKI does not offer a wrap fee program.
E. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024, HKI manages $379,341,058 in Client assets, $359,129,520 of which are managed on a
discretionary basis and $20,211,538 of which are managed on a non-discretionary basis. Clients may request more
current information at any time by contacting the Advisor.
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into one or more
written agreements with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior quarter. Investment advisory fees range from 0.50% to 1.50% annually based on
several factors, including: the scope and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed;
and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting requirements,
portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.
The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to the
end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take into
consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. Certain clients may be offered a tiered fee
schedule within the range above. All securities held in accounts managed by HKI will be independently valued by the
Custodian. The Advisor will conduct periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuation to ensure accurate billing.
The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and other
related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C below, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor
shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor will implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or more
Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation from an
Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above. Independent
Managers typically do not offer any fee discounts but may have a breakpoint schedule which will reduce the fee
with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The terms of such fee
arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable contract[s] with the
Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent Manager’s fee, will
not exceed 2.00% annually.

Phone: (612) 204-0405

Financial Planning Services
HKI offers financial planning for a fixed engagement fee of $2,500. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and
complexity of the services to be provided and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total costs will
be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
Consulting Services
The Advisor provides non-advisory consulting services for a negotiated fee, based on the nature of the consulting
services to be provided. Services are provided at an hourly rate ranging from $150 to $450 per hour or a fixed
engagement fee. An estimate for total costs will be provided to the Client prior to engaging for these services.
B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the
Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from
the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter. The amount due is calculated by applying the quarterly rate (annual
rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with HKI at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be
provided with a statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee.
Clients are urged to also review the statement provided by the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a
verification of the Advisor’s fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by HKI
to be paid directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and
separate account forms provided by the Custodian.
Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include HKI’s
investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees charged by the
Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Manager or the Advisor may assume
responsibility for calculating the Client’s fees and deduct all fees from the Client’s account[s].
Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the
financial planning agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].
Longer duration planning engagements (greater than six (6) months for completion) may be billed in advance of each
calendar quarter. Services will a duration of six months or more will be billed quarterly.
Consulting Services
Consulting fees may be invoiced up to fifty percent (50%) of the expected total fee upon execution of the consulting
services agreement. The balance shall be invoiced upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s]. Ongoing
consulting services are billed quarterly in advance.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients may incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than HKI, in connection with investments
made on behalf of the Client’s account[s]. The Client is responsible for all custody and securities execution fees
charged by the Custodian, as applicable. The Advisor's recommended Custodian does not charge securities
transaction fees for ETF and equity trades in a Client's account, provided that the account meets the terms and
conditions of the Custodian's brokerage requirements. However, the Custodian typically charges for mutual funds
and other types of investments. The fees charged by HKI are separate and distinct from these custody and
execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to HKI for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the expenses
charged by mutual funds and ETFs to their shareholders, if applicable. These fees and expenses are described in
each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be used to pay management fees for the funds,
other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody, brokerage and account reporting), and a possible
distribution fee. A Client may be able to invest in these products directly, without the services of HKI, but would not
receive the services provided by HKI which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining
Hunter Keith Industries, Inc.
681 Lake Street East, Suite 262, Wayzata, MN 55391
Phone: (612) 204-0405
Page 7
which products or services are most appropriate for each Client’s financial situation and objectives. Accordingly, the
Client should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by HKI to fully understand the total
fees to be paid. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional information.
D. Advance Payment of Fees and Termination
Investment Management Services
HKI may be compensated for its investment management services in advance of the quarter in which services are
rendered. Either party may terminate the investment advisory agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the investment advisory agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges
for bona fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the
Client. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid investment advisory fees from the effective
date of termination to the end of the quarter. The Client’s investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-
transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Use of Independent Managers
In the event that a Client should wish to terminate their relationship with the Independent Manager, the terms for
the termination will be set forth in the respective agreements between the Client and that Independent Manager.
HKI will assist the Client with the termination and transition as appropriate.
Financial Planning Services
HKI may be partially-compensated for its financial planning services upon the execution of the planning agreement.
Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement, at any time, by providing advance written notice to the
other party. The Client may also terminate the financial planning agreement within five (5) business days of signing
the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges for bona fide
advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon
termination, the Client shall be billed based on the percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor.
Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any unearned, prepaid planning fees. The Client’s financial planning
agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable without the Client’s prior consent.
Consulting Services
HKI may be partially-compensated for its consulting services upon the execution of the consulting services
agreement. Either party may terminate the consulting services agreement, at any time, by providing advance written
notice to the other party. The Client may also terminate the consulting services agreement within five (5) business
days of signing the Advisor’s agreement at no cost to the Client. After the five-day period, the Client will incur charges
for bona fide services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Client. Upon
termination, the Client shall be billed based on the number of hours worked at the negotiated hourly rate or the
percentage of the engagement scope completed by the Advisor. Upon termination, the Advisor will refund any
unearned, prepaid consulting fees. The Client’s consulting services agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client’s prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
HKI does not buy or sell securities to earn commissions and does not receive any compensation for securities
transactions in any Client account, other than the investment advisory fees noted above.
Certain Advisory Persons are also licensed as independent insurance professionals. As an independent insurance
professional, an Advisory Person may earn commission-based compensation for selling insurance products,
including insurance products they sell to Clients. Insurance commissions earned by Advisory Persons are separate
and in addition to our advisory fees. This practice presents a conflict of interest as the Advisory Person may have
an incentive to recommend insurance products to Clients for the purpose of generating commissions rather than
solely based on the Client’s needs. Clients are under no obligation, contractually or otherwise, to purchase
insurance products through any Advisory Person affiliated with the Advisor. Please see Item 10 below.

Phone: (612) 204-0405
Page 8
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
HKI does not charge performance-based fees for its investment advisory services. The fees charged by HKI are as
described in Item 5 above and are not based upon the capital appreciation of the funds or securities held by any
Client.
HKI does not manage any proprietary investment funds or limited partnerships (for example, a mutual fund or a
hedge fund) and has no financial incentive to recommend any particular investment options to its Clients.
Item 7 – Types of Clients
HKI offers investment advisory services to high net worth individuals, families, trusts, estates, and businesses. HKI
generally does not impose a minimum relationship size. However, its services are tailored to high net worth
families.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
HKI primarily employs fundamental and technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies for its
Clients. Research and analysis from HKI are derived from numerous sources, including financial media companies,
third-party research materials, Internet sources, and review of company activities, including annual reports,
prospectuses, press releases and research prepared by others.
Fundamental analysis utilizes economic and business indicators as investment selection criteria. This criteria
consists generally of ratios and trends that may indicate the overall strength and financial viability of the entity being
analyzed. Assets are deemed suitable if they meet certain criteria to indicate that they are a strong investment with
a value discounted by the market. While this type of analysis helps the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment,
it does not guarantee that the investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in
the fundamental analysis may lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors
these economic indicators to determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the
Advisor’s review process are included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Technical analysis involves the analysis of past market data rather than specific company data in determining the
recommendations made to clients. Technical analysis may involve the use of charts to identify market patterns and
trends, which may be based on investor sentiment rather than the fundamentals of the company. The primary risk
in using technical analysis is that spotting historical trends may not help to predict such trends in the future. Even if
the trend will eventually reoccur, there is no guarantee that HKI will be able to accurately predict such a
reoccurrence.
As noted above, HKI generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their
financial goals. HKI will typically hold all or a portion of a security for more than a year, but may hold for shorter
periods for the purpose of rebalancing a portfolio or meeting the cash needs of Clients. At times, HKI may also buy
and sell positions that are more short-term in nature, depending on the goals of the Client and/or the fundamentals
of the security, sector or asset class.
B. Risk of Loss
Investing in securities involves certain investment risks. Securities may fluctuate in value or lose value. Clients
should be prepared to bear the potential risk of loss. HKI will assist Clients in determining an appropriate strategy
based on their tolerance for risk and other factors noted above. However, there is no guarantee that a Client will
meet their investment goals.
While the methods of analysis help the Advisor in evaluating a potential investment, it does not guarantee that the
investment will increase in value. Assets meeting the investment criteria utilized in these methods of analysis may
lose value and may have negative investment performance. The Advisor monitors these economic indicators to
Hunter Keith Industries, Inc.
681 Lake Street East, Suite 262, Wayzata, MN 55391
Phone: (612) 204-0405
Page 9
determine if adjustments to strategic allocations are appropriate. More details on the Advisor’s review process are
included below in Item 13 – Review of Accounts.
Each Client engagement will entail a review of the Client's investment goals, financial situation, time horizon,
tolerance for risk and other factors to develop an appropriate strategy for managing a Client's account. Client
participation in this process, including full and accurate disclosure of requested information, is essential for the
analysis of a Client's account[s]. The Advisor shall rely on the financial and other information provided by the Client
or their designees without the duty or obligation to validate the accuracy and completeness of the provided
information. It is the responsibility of the Client to inform the Advisor of any changes in financial condition, goals or
other factors that may affect this analysis.
The risks associated with a particular strategy are provided to each Client in advance of investing Client accounts.
The Advisor will work with each Client to determine their tolerance for risk as part of the portfolio construction
process. Following are some of the risks associated with the Advisor’s investment strategies:
Market Risks
The value of a Client’s holdings may fluctuate in response to events specific to companies or markets, as well as
economic, political, or social events in the U.S. and abroad. This risk is linked to the performance of the overall
financial markets.
ETF Risks
The performance of ETFs is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the ETFs
will fluctuate with the price of the underlying securities that make up the funds. In addition, ETFs have a trading risk
based on the loss of cost efficiency if the ETFs are traded actively and a liquidity risk if the ETFs have a large bid-
ask spread and low trading volume. The price of an ETF fluctuates based upon the market movements and may
dissociate from the index being tracked by the ETF or the price of the underlying investments. An ETF purchased
or sold at one point in the day may have a different price than the same ETF purchased or sold a short time later.
There is also a risk that Authorized Participants are unable to fulfill their responsibilities. Authorized Participants are
one of the major parties involved with ETF creation/redemption mechanism in the markets. The Authorized
Participants play a critical role in the liquidity of ETFs and essentially have the exclusive right to change the supply
of ETF shares in the market. If the Authorized Participants does not fulfill this expected role, there could be an
adverse impact on liquidity and the valuation of an ETF.
Bond Risks
Bonds are subject to specific risks, including the following: (1) interest rate risks, i.e. the risk that bond prices will fall
if interest rates rise, and vice versa, the risk depends on two things, the bond's time to maturity, and the coupon
rate of the bond. (2) reinvestment risk, i.e. the risk that any profit gained must be reinvested at a lower rate than
was previously being earned, (3) inflation risk, i.e. the risk that the cost of living and inflation increase at a rate that
exceeds the income investment thereby decreasing the investor’s rate of return, (4) credit default risk, i.e. the risk
associated with purchasing a debt instrument which includes the possibility of the company defaulting on its
repayment obligation, (5) rating downgrades, i.e. the risk associated with a rating agency’s downgrade of the
company’s rating which impacts the investor’s confidence in the company’s ability to repay its debt and (6) Liquidity
Risks, i.e. the risk that a bond may not be sold as quickly as there is no readily available market for the bond.
Mutual Fund Risks
The performance of mutual funds is subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. The price of the
mutual funds will fluctuate with the value of the underlying securities that make up the funds. The price of a mutual
fund is typically set daily therefore a mutual fund purchased at one point in the day will typically have the same
price as a mutual fund purchased later that same day.
Margin Borrowings
The use of short-term margin borrowings may result in certain additional risks to a Client. For example, if securities
pledged to brokers to secure a Client's margin accounts decline in value, the Client could be subject to a "margin
call", pursuant to which it must either deposit additional funds with the broker or be the subject of mandatory
liquidation of the pledged securities to compensate for the decline in value.

Alternative Investments (Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (limited partnerships) can be volatile and may have limited liquidity. An
investor could lose all or a portion of their investment. Such investments often have concentrated positions and
investments that may carry higher risks. Client should only have a portion of their assets in these investments.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns. Investing in securities and other investments involve
a risk of loss that each Client should understand and be willing to bear. Clients are reminded to discuss
these risks with the Advisor.
Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Securities laws require an advisor to disclose any instances where the Advisor or its Advisory Persons have been
found liable in a legal, regulatory, civil or arbitration matter that alleges violation of securities and other statutes;
fraud; false statements or omissions; theft, embezzlement or wrongful taking of property; bribery, forgery,
counterfeiting, or extortion; and/or dishonest, unfair or unethical practices. HKI does not have any matters which
require disclosure HKI values the trust Clients place in the Advisor. The Advisor encourages Clients to perform the
requisite due diligence on any advisor or service provider that the Client engages. The backgrounds of the Advisor
or Advisory Persons are available on the Investment Adviser Public Disclosure website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov
by searching with the Advisor’s firm name or CRD# 332688.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Insurance Agency Affiliations
As noted in Item 5, certain Advisory Persons are also licensed insurance professionals. Implementations of
insurance recommendations are separate and apart from an Advisory Person’s role with HKI. As an insurance
professional, an Advisory Person may receive customary commissions and other related revenues from the various
insurance companies whose products are sold. Advisory Persons are not required to offer the products of any
particular insurance company. Commissions generated by insurance sales do not offset regular advisory fees. This
may cause a conflict of interest in recommending certain products of the insurance companies. Clients are under
no obligation to implement any recommendations made by Advisory Persons or the Advisor.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
HKI has implemented a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that defines the Advisor’s fiduciary commitment to each Client.
This Code applies to all persons associated with HKI (“Supervised Persons”). The Code was developed to provide
general ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor’s duties to each Client. HKI and its
Supervised Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of HKI’s
Supervised Persons to adhere not only to the specific provisions of the Code, but also to the general principles that
guide the Code. The Code covers a range of topics that address employee ethics and conflicts of interest. To
request a copy of the Code, please contact the Advisor at (612) 204-0405.
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
HKI allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. HKI does not act as principal in any transactions. In addition, the Advisor does not
act as the general partner of a fund, or advise an investment company. HKI does not have a material interest in any
securities traded in Client accounts.
C. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
HKI allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients. Owning the same securities that are recommended (purchase or sell) to Clients
presents a conflict of interest that, as fiduciaries, must be disclosed to Clients and mitigated through policies and
procedures. As noted above, the Advisor has adopted the Code to address insider trading (material non-public
information controls); gifts and entertainment; outside business activities and personal securities reporting. When
Hunter Keith Industries, Inc.
681 Lake Street East, Suite 262, Wayzata, MN 55391
Phone: (612) 204-0405
Page 11
trading for personal accounts, Supervised Persons have a conflict of interest if trading in the same securities. The
fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its Clients can be violated if personal trades are made with more
advantageous terms than Client trades, or by trading based on material non-public information. This risk is
mitigated by HKI requiring reporting of personal securities trades by its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief
Compliance Officer (“CCO”) or delegate. The Advisor has also adopted written policies and procedures to detect
the misuse of material, non-public information.
D. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While HKI allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and
purchased on behalf of Clients, such trades are typically aggregated with Client orders or traded afterwards. At no
time will HKI, or any Supervised Person of HKI, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.
Item 12 – Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodian[s]
HKI typically does not have discretionary authority to select the broker-dealer/custodian for custody and execution
services. The Client will engage the broker-dealer/custodian (herein the "Custodian") to safeguard Client assets
and authorize HKI to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further,
HKI does not have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade
basis.
Where HKI does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it does recommend the Custodian to
Clients for custody and execution services. Clients are not obligated to use the Custodian recommended by the
Advisor and will not incur any extra fee or cost from the Advisor associated with using a custodian not
recommended by HKI. However, the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended
Custodian is not engaged. HKI may recommend the Custodian based on criteria such as, but not limited to,
reasonableness of commissions charged to the Client, services made available to the Client, and its reputation
and/or the location of the Custodian’s offices. HKI Partners will generally recommend that Clients establish their
account[s] at Fidelity Clearing and Custody Solutions and related divisions and entities of Fidelity Investments, Inc.,
including National Financial Services LLC, and Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC (collectively “Fidelity”), a FINRA-
registered broker-dealer and member SIPC. Fidelity will serve as the Client’s “qualified custodian.” HKI Partners
maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity, whereby the Advisor receives economic benefits from Fidelity.
HKI Partners has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in managing Client
account[s]. Access to the Fidelity platform is provided at no charge to the Advisor. The Fidelity platform includes
brokerage, custody, administrative support, record keeping, technology and related services designed to support
registered investment advisors like HKI Partners in serving Clients. These services are intended to serve the best
interests of the Advisor’s Clients.
Fidelity may charge brokerage commissions (securities transaction fees) for effecting certain securities transactions.
Fidelity enables the Advisor to obtain certain no-load mutual funds without securities transaction fees and other no-
load funds at nominal transaction charges. Fidelity’s commission rates are generally considered discounted from
customary retail commission rates. However, the commissions and transaction fees charged by Fidelity may be higher
or lower than those charged by other custodians and broker-dealers. Please see Item 14 below for additional
information.
As described above, Fidelity provides to HKI Partners, without cost, research and trade execution services. Fidelity
makes these services available to similarly situated investment advisers whose clients custody their assets with
Fidelity. Access to research and trade execution services is not predicated on the execution of Client securities
transactions (e.g., not “soft dollars”). HKI Partners has not entered into any formal “soft dollar” arrangements with
broker-dealers. HKI Partners’ Clients may utilize qualified custodians other than Fidelity for certain accounts and
assets, particularly where clients have a previous relationship with such qualified custodians. HKI Partners may
charge a fee to manage such assets held away from Fidelity.

Phone: (612) 204-0405
Page 12
Following are additional details regarding the brokerage practices of the Advisor:
1. Soft Dollars - Soft dollars are revenue programs offered by broker-dealers/custodians whereby an advisor
enters into an agreement to place security trades with a broker-dealer/custodian in exchange for research and
other services. HKI does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker-
dealer/custodian. However, the Advisor receives certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14
below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - HKI does not receive any compensation from any third party in connection with the
recommendation for establishing an account.
3. Directed Brokerage - All Clients are serviced on a “directed brokerage basis”, where HKI will place trades within
the established account[s] at the Custodian designated by the Client. Further, all Client accounts are traded within
their respective account[s]. The Advisor will not engage in any principal transactions (i.e., trade of any security from
or to the Advisor’s own account) or cross transactions with other Client accounts (i.e., purchase of a security into
one Client account from another Client’s account[s]). HKI will not be obligated to select competitive bids on
securities transactions and does not have an obligation to seek the lowest available transaction costs. These costs
are determined by the Custodian.
B. Aggregating and Allocating Trades
The primary objective in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities for Client accounts is to obtain the
most favorable net results taking into account such factors as 1) price, 2) size of the order, 3) difficulty of execution,
4) confidentiality and 5) skill required of the Custodian. HKI will execute its transactions through the Custodian as
authorized by the Client. HKI may aggregate orders in a block trade or trades when securities are purchased or
sold through the Custodian for multiple (discretionary) accounts in the same trading day. If a block trade cannot be
executed in full at the same price or time, the securities actually purchased or sold by the close of each business
day must be allocated in a manner that is consistent with the initial pre-allocation or other written statement. This
must be done in a way that does not consistently advantage or disadvantage any particular Clients’ accounts.
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
A. Frequency of Reviews
Securities in Client accounts are monitored on a regular and continuous basis by Advisor Persons of the Advisor
and periodically by the CCO. Formal reviews are generally conducted at least annually or more frequently
depending on the needs of the Client.
B. Causes for Reviews
In addition to the investment monitoring noted in Item 13.A., each Client account shall be reviewed at least
annually. Reviews may be conducted more frequently at the Client’s request. Accounts may be reviewed as a result
of major changes in economic conditions, known changes in the Client’s financial situation, and/or large deposits or
withdrawals in the Client’s account[s]. The Client is encouraged to notify HKI if changes occur in the Client’s
personal financial situation that might adversely affect the Client’s investment plan. Additional reviews may be
triggered by material market, economic or political events.
C. Review Reports
The Client will receive brokerage statements no less than quarterly from the Custodian. These brokerage
statements are sent directly from the Custodian to the Client. The Client may also establish electronic access to the
Custodian’s website so that the Client may view these reports and their account activity. Client brokerage
statements will include all positions, transactions and fees relating to the Client’s account[s]. The Advisor may also
provide Clients with periodic reports regarding their holdings, allocations, and performance.

Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
A. Compensation Received by HKI
HKI may refer Clients to various unaffiliated, non-advisory professionals (e.g. attorneys, accountants, estate planners)
to provide certain financial services necessary to meet the goals of its Clients. Likewise, HKI may receive non-
compensated referrals of new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
As noted in Item 12, HKI Partners has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in
managing Client account[s]. As part of the arrangement, Fidelity also makes available to the Advisor, at no additional
charge to the Advisor, certain research and brokerage services, including research services obtained by Fidelity
directly from independent research companies. The Advisor may also receive additional services and support from
Fidelity. As a result of receiving such services for no additional cost, the Advisor may have an incentive to continue to
use or expand the use of Fidelity's services. The Advisor examined this potential conflict of interest when it chose to
enter into the relationship with Fidelity and has determined that the relationship is in the best interests of the Advisor’s
Clients and satisfies its Client obligations, including its duty to seek best execution. Please see Item 12 above. The
Advisor receives access to software and related support without cost because the Advisor renders wealth
management services to Clients that maintain assets at Fidelity The software and related systems support may
benefit the Advisor, but not its Clients directly. In fulfilling its duties to its Clients, the Advisor endeavors at all times to
put the interests of its Clients first. Clients should be aware, however, that the receipt of economic benefits from a
Custodian creates a conflict of interest since these benefits may influence the Advisor's recommendation of this
Custodian over one that does not furnish similar software, systems support, or services. In addition, Fidelity has
provided the Advisor with financial support in the launch of the Advisor and reimbursements for various third-party
service providers.
B. Compensation for Client Referrals
The Advisor does not compensate, either directly or indirectly, any persons who are not supervised persons, for
Client referrals.
Item 15 – Custody
HKI does not accept or maintain custody of Client accounts, except for the limited circumstances outlined below:
Deduction of Advisory Fees - To ensure compliance with regulatory requirements associated with the deduction of
advisory fees, all Clients for whom HKI exercises discretionary authority must hold their assets with a "qualified
custodian." Clients are responsible for engaging a “qualified custodian” to safeguard their funds and securities and
must instruct HKI to utilize that Custodian for securities transactions on their behalf. Clients are encouraged to
review statements provided by the Custodian and compare to any reports provided by HKI to ensure accuracy, as
the Custodian does not perform this review.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
HKI generally has discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client accounts
without obtaining prior consent or approval from the Client. However, these purchases or sales may be subject to
specified investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously set forth by the Client and agreed to by HKI.
Discretionary authority will only be authorized upon full disclosure to the Client. The granting of such authority will
be evidenced by the Client's execution of an investment advisory agreement containing all applicable limitations to
such authority. All discretionary trades made by HKI will be in accordance with each Client's investment objectives
and goals. For certain accounts, HKI does not have discretion over the selection and amount of securities to be
bought or sold in Client accounts without obtaining prior approval from the Client. The Advisor will contact the Client
and obtain approval prior to executing trades or allocating investment assets.

Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
HKI does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for any Client. Clients will receive proxy statements directly from the
Custodian. The Advisor will assist in answering questions relating to proxies, however, the Client retains the sole
responsibility for proxy decisions and voting.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Neither HKI, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of
HKI to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither HKI, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a
bankruptcy or financial compromise. HKI is not required to deliver a balance sheet along with this Disclosure
Brochure as the Advisor does not collect advance fees of $1,200 or more for services to be performed six quarters
or more in the future.
