Advisory Business The Company Indiano Capital Management, Inc. (“Indiano Capital”) is a registered investment adviser with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Registration as an investment adviser does not imply a certain level of skill or training. We were founded in 1998 by Matthew Indiano, our principal owner. Mr. Indiano has over 32 years of investment advisory experience. We provide investment advisory services to individuals, their related trusts and estates, banking or thrift institutions, pension and profit sharing plans and corporations and other institutions. Assets Under Management As of December 31, 2024, we had $275,561,867 of assets under management on a discretionary basis, and $0 on a non-discretionary basis. Advisory Services We offer clients investment management services as covered in an investment management agreement between us and the client. Each client’s investment account and portfolio is typically managed on a regular and continuous basis. We assist clients in creating their own custom investment plan by assisting them in determining, among other things, suitability, investment objectives, goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances. In reviewing these with clients, clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Our investment strategies may include investments in domestic and foreign equity securities, exchange listed and over-the-counter traded funds, investment grade and non-investment grade corporate bonds, commercial paper, CDs, U.S. Government and agency securities, municipal bonds, option contracts on securities, and mutual funds owning one or more of these types of securities. Item 5. Fees and Compensation Generally We provide investment management services to clients in separately managed accounts. We generally bill our clients based upon a percentage of assets under management. The fee is not charged on the basis of a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the funds of an advisory client. Our fees are negotiable and may vary based on the particular circumstances of each client. Our management fees are billed quarterly, in advance, in an amount determined by applying the annual rate to the portfolio market value on the last business day prior to the quarterly billing period. The client has the choice to be billed directly or to have the fee deducted directly from his or her account by the custodian. {1222718:} Fee Schedule Equity / Balanced / 401(k) / Mutual Fund Management Our annual fees for portfolio management of accounts focused on equity investments, a balance of equity and other securities, mutual funds, or located in a 401(k) account, or do not contain over 80% fixed income investments are as follows: First $ 1,000,000 Next $ 4,000,000 Next $ 5,000,000 Over $10,000,000 1.00% .75% .50% .40% Fixed Income Management Our annual fee for portfolio management of accounts containing over 80% fixed income investments, are as follows: First $ 1,000,000 Next $ 4,000,000 Next $ 5,000,000 Over $10,000,000 .60% .50% .40% .30% Termination The client may terminate the agreement at any time by written notice to us. We may also choose to terminate a client agreement by advising the client in writing. A prorated fee would be refunded to the client. Refunds are determined pro rata based on the number of days remaining in the quarter in which the client agreement is terminated. Other Fees and Expenses All fees paid to us for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange traded and over-the-counter traded funds (collectively, the "Funds") to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each Fund's prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses, and a possible distribution fee. If the Fund also imposes sales charges, a client may pay an initial or deferred sales charge. You could invest in a Fund directly, without our services. In that case, you would not receive the services provided by us which are designed, among other things, to assist you in determining which Fund or Funds are most appropriate to your financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, you should review both the fees charged by the Funds and the fees charged by us to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by you and to thereby evaluate the advisory services being provided. In addition, you are responsible for the fees and expenses charged by custodians and broker dealers. See Item 12 – “Brokerage Practices,” and Item 15 – “Custody.” Such fees may include, but are not limited to, any transaction charges, fees for duplicate statements and transaction confirmations, and fees for electronic data feeds and reports. {1222718:}2 Item 6. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management We do not charge performance-based fees, that is, fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client. Item 7. Types of Clients We provide investment advisory services to individuals, their related trusts and estates, high net worth individuals, insurance companies, and corporations and other institutions. In the past, we have also provided investment advisory services to banking or thrift institutions and pension and profit sharing plans, and may do so in the future. We do not require a minimum account size although we reserve the right to accept accounts on an individual basis. We may from time to time establish, modify or waive account or investment minimums for different investment products or services. Item 8. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss In formulating investment advice and managing client assets we primarily utilize fundamental analysis and technical analysis and charting. With fundamental analysis we evaluate securities based upon their historical and projected financial performance. With technical analysis and charting, we attempt to forecast future financial price movements based on an examination of past price movements. In determining the investment strategy for a particular client, we look at a number of factors, including the suitability for your account and your investment objectives, goals, time horizons, and risk tolerances. We primarily use the following investment strategies: Equity Strategy- We have a multi-capitalization and multi-sector strategy where we purchase equities selling below what we feel is their intrinsic value. We also purchase equities that we feel have an attractive and sustainable dividend based upon our research. Fixed Income Strategy- We have both a taxable and non-taxable fixed income strategies. The non-taxable strategy is comprised of primarily investment grade municipal bonds. The taxable fixed income strategy uses a variety of fixed income securities that we feel offer either a yield more attractive than current market rates or capital appreciation opportunities. To improve returns, we may also use margin, only if directed by a client, and may also use options. You may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities. Our investment strategies may include long-term purchases, short-term purchases and margin transactions. These may include investments in domestic and foreign equity securities, both exchange listed and over- the-counter traded, investment grade and non-investment grade corporate bonds, commercial paper, CD’s, U.S. Government and agency securities, option contracts on securities and mutual funds owning one or more of these types of securities. {1222718:}3 Risks Investing in securities always involves the risk of loss of both income and principal that you should understand and be prepared to bear. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of risk, and it should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or investment strategy (including the investment or investment strategies that we recommend or undertake) will be profitable or meet specific performance levels. The material risks associated with our investment strategies are: Equity Market Risk – Overall stock market risks may affect the value of the investments in equity strategies. Factors such as U.S. economic growth and market conditions, interest rates, and political events affect the equity markets. Management Risk - Our judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular model portfolio may be incorrect and there is no guarantee that a portfolio will perform as anticipated. Accordingly, our activities could result in substantial losses under certain circumstances. Fundamental Analysis Risk- Fundamental analysis assumes that we and the market have access to accurate information regarding any particular investment. We have no control over the dissemination rate of market information; therefore, certain analyses may be compiled with outdated market information, which may limit the value of our analysis or lead to inaccurate analysis. Furthermore, an accurate fundamental analysis can only produce a forecast of the direction of market values. There can be no assurances that a forecasted change in market value will materialize into profitable investment opportunities. Technical Analysis Risk - Technical analysis generally consists of a systematic and analytical approach to the analysis of stock prices. Technical analysis is not concerned with the financial position of the company in whose securities we are considering an investment, but instead relies exclusively on the use of charts and computer programs in an effort to identify trends and draw conclusions based on those trends. If our technical analysis, or interpretation of it, proves to be incorrect, the value of your portfolio and investments could be adversely affected. Fixed Income Market Risk – To the extent a portfolio contains fixed income investments, their values are generally based on changes in interest rates. If rates increase, the value of fixed income securities generally declines. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. Margin Risk - Margin trading involves trading with borrowed funds. A decline in the value of the securities that are purchased on margin may require you to provide additional funds to the lender to avoid the forced sale of those securities or other securities in your account. This risk could be increased in times of market volatility. As a result, you could lose more than the funds you originally placed at risk. Losses resulting from trading on margin could adversely affect the value of your investments. Credit Risk – To the extent a portfolio contains fixed income investments, there is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on the securities they issue. In addition, the credit quality of securities may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security which may adversely affect the performance of the portfolio and your investments. Portfolio Turnover Risk - Our portfolios may have higher turnover than other investment funds and accounts. If that occurs, the brokerage commissions you incur may be higher than those incurred by an adviser with lower portfolio turnover. {1222718:}4 Item 9. Disciplinary Information Neither our firm nor its management has any reportable disciplinary events to disclose. Item 10. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations Not applicable. Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Item 11. Trading Our offices or employees may buy or sell securities identical to or different from those recommended to clients for their personal accounts. Further, our related persons may have an interest or position in certain securities which may also be recommended to a client. It is our expressed policy that no person employed by us may purchase or sell any security prior to a transaction being implemented for an advisory account, which therefore prevents such employees from benefiting from transactions placed on behalf of advisory accounts. As these situations represent a conflict of interest, we have established the following restrictions in order to ensure its fiduciary responsibilities: 1) Any of our officers or employees will not buy or sell securities for their personal portfolios where their decision is substantially derived, in whole or in part, by reason of his or her employment unless the information is also available to the investing public on reasonable inquiry. No person of ours shall prefer his or her own interest to that of the advisory client. 2) We maintain a list of all securities we hold, and held by our officers and employees with access to advisory recommendations. These holdings will be reviewed on a regular basis by our Chief Compliance Officer, or his designee. 3) We emphasize the unrestricted right of you to decline to implement any advice rendered, except in situations where we are granted discretionary authority of your account. 4) We emphasize the unrestricted right of you to select and choose any broker or dealer you wish. 5) Any individual not in observance of the above may be subject to termination. In addition, we have adopted a Code of Ethics which sets forth ethical standards of business conduct that we require of our employees, including compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Our Code of Ethics prohibits the use of material non-public information and contains policies and procedures for the review of quarterly securities transactions reports as well as initial and annual securities holdings reports of our access persons. This Code of Ethics is provided to each employee and is available to any client or prospective client upon request Item 12. Brokerage Practices Upon receiving written authorization from you, we may select specific brokers or dealers to be used or commission rates to be paid. We do not participate in "soft dollar" commission compensation agreements. While commission rates are an important factor in broker selection, we may direct trades to brokers that charge commissions higher than those obtainable from other brokers. Reasonableness of {1222718:}5 commissions is determined by comparing the commission rate with current market rates. In selecting a broker for any transaction or series of transactions, we may consider a number of factors in addition to commission rates, including, for example, net price, reputation, financial strength and stability, efficiency of execution and error resolution, block trading and block position capabilities, willingness to execute related or unrelated difficult transactions in the future, order of call, on-line access to computerized data regarding client accounts, the availability of stocks to borrow for short trades, custody, record keeping or other similar services, as well as other matters involved in the receipt of general brokerage services. You may direct that we use a particular broker for your account. In directing the use of a particular broker or dealer, it should be understood that we will not have authority to negotiate commissions among various brokers or obtain volume discounts, and best execution may not be achieved and may cost you more money. In addition, a disparity in commission charges may exist between the commissions charged to you and those charged to other clients. We may aggregate trades where possible and advantageous to clients. This blocking of trades permits the trading of aggregate blocks of securities composed of assets from multiple client accounts. Block trading may permit equity trades to be executed in a timelier and more equitable manner while allowing us to obtain an average share price for clients participating in the block. No personal trades will ever be included in any client blocks. We do not receive referrals from brokers or dealers. Item 13. Review of Accounts Your investment management account is reviewed and managed by us on a ongoing basis. In the review process we consider overall investment management, market prospects and the prospects of individual securities issues. Matthew and Carmen Indiano conduct the account reviews. You will generally receive reports on a monthly basis from your custodian and quarterly reports from our firm. These reports are in writing and summarize the investment performance of your account. Item 14. Client Referrals and Other Compensation We do not receive any additional compensation from third parties for providing investment advice to our clients. We do not compensate any third parties for referrals of clients to our firm. Item 15. Custody We do not provide custodial services to our clients. Client assets are held with banks or registered broker-dealers that are “qualified custodians.” Clients will receive statements directly from a qualified custodian at least monthly. We urge you to carefully review those statements and compare the custodial records to the reports that we provide. The information in our reports may vary from custodial statements based on accounting procedures, reporting dates or valuation methodologies of certain securities. Item 16. Investment Discretion {1222718:}6 We provide investment management services to clients. We generally manage these advisory accounts on a discretionary basis. This authority must be granted in writing. You, nevertheless, will have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments to be held in your account and account supervision will be guided by your stated objectives (i.e., maximum capital appreciation, growth, income, or growth and income). We observe investment limitations and restrictions that are outlined in each account’s investment management agreement. Item 17. Voting Client Securities In general, we determine how to vote proxies based on our reasonable judgment of that vote most likely to produce favorable financial results for our clients. Proxy votes generally will be cast in favor of proposals that maintain or strengthen the shared interests of shareholders and management, increase shareholder value, maintain or increase shareholder influence over the issuer's board of directors and management, increase disclosure of compensation policies, and maintain or increase the rights of shareholders; proxy votes generally will be cast against proposals having the opposite effect. However, we will consider both sides of each proxy issue. Consistent with our paramount commitment to the financial investment goals of our clients, social considerations will not be considered absent contrary instructions by a client. Clients may contact us to direct our vote in a particular proxy solicitation. A full copy of our proxy voting policy is available by contacting our Chief Compliance Officer, Carmen Indiano, at 585-248-9888. Conflicts of interest between us and a client in respect of a proxy issue conceivably may arise, for example, from personal or professional relationships with a company or with the directors, candidates for director, or senior executives of a company that is the issuer of client securities. If our Chief Compliance Officer determines that a material conflict of interest exists, we may: disclose the existence and nature of the conflict to the clients owning such securities, and seek directions on how to vote; abstain from voting, particularly if there are conflicting client interests (for example, where client accounts hold different client securities in a competitive merger situation); or, follow the recommendations of an independent third party, such as a proxy voting service, in voting the proxies. We keep records in connection with our proxy voting activities for a client’s securities and will provide proxy-voting information to clients upon their request. Item 18. Financial Information We have not attached a balance sheet for our most recent fiscal year because we do not have custody of client funds or securities or require prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client and six (6) or more months in advance. We have no financial condition that impairs our ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to clients and have never been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding. * * * {1222718:}7 Brochure Supplement Matthew Indiano INDIANO CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. 120 Linden Oaks, Suite 201 Rochester, New York 14625 (585) 248-9888 March 31, 2025 This brochure supplement provides information about Matthew Indiano that supplements the Indiano Capital Management, Inc.
