Item 4 - Advisory Services
A. Firm Information
Longwall Investment Partners, LLC ("LIP" or the "Advisor") is a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission. The Advisor is organized as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) under the laws of the
State of Delaware. LIP was founded in December 2022 and is owned by Longwall Holdings,LLC. LIP is operated by
its managing member, Longwall Holdings, LLC, pursuant to the terms of the LIP limited liability company agreement.
This Disclosure Brochure provides information regarding the qualifications, business practices, and the advisory
services provided by LIP.
B. Advisory Services Offered
LIP offers investment advisory solutions to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, retirement plans,
and private funds (each referred to as a "Client").
The Advisor 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 and to create alignment of incentives.. LIP'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.
Private Fund Management
LIP is the investment adviser to Longwall Partners Fund, LTD (the “Fund”), a Cayman Islands exempted company.
As further described in the Fund offering documents, the Fund is engaged in investing in a diversified range of
alternative investment strategies designed to generate absolute returns comparable to illiquid strategies like private
equity.
Investment Advisory Services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts and other clients.
LIP provides continuous and ongoing investment advisory solutions and asset management services pursuant to an
investment advisory agreement. LIP offers customized solutions for its Clients. This is achieved through personal
Client contact and interaction while providing non-discretionary and/or discretionary asset management and related
advisory services. LIP works closely with each Client to identify their investment goals, objectives, risk tolerance and
financial situation in order to create either limited and specific or comprehensive portfolio strategies. LIP will often
recommend an investment portfolio consisting of alternative investments, individual stocks, bonds, options, mutual
funds and exchange traded funds ("ETFs"). LIP will also recommend investment in pooled investment vehicles (each
a "Private Fund"), including the Fund where the Advisor acts as the investment manager of the Fund.
LIP'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. LIP will construct,
implement and monitor the portfolio to ensure it meets the broad goals, objectives, circumstances, and risk tolerance
appropriate to 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. LIP evaluates and selects
investments for inclusion in Client portfolios only after applying due diligence and analysis; the levels of
which will differ according to LIP resources and team member competencies. LIP may recommend, on occasion,
redistributing investment allocations to diversify the portfolio. LIP 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.
LIP 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.
At no time will LIP accept or maintain custody of a Client's funds or securities, except for the limited authority as outlined
in Item 15 - Custody. All Client assets will be managed within the designated account[s] at the Custodian, pursuant to
the terms of the advisory agreement. Please see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.

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, 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.
A. Client Account Management
Prior to engaging LIP to provide investment advisory services, each Client is required to enter into an agreement with
the Advisor that defines the terms, conditions, authority and responsibilities of the Advisor and the Client. These
services may include:
• Establishing an Investment Strategy- where LIP, in connection with the Client, will develop a strategy that
seeks to achieve the Client's goals and objectives.
• Asset Allocation - where LIP will develop a strategic asset allocation that is targeted to meet the
investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and risk tolerance for each Client.
•
Investment Management and Supervision - where LIP will provide investment management and ongoing
oversight of the Client's investment portfolio.
B. Wrap Fee Programs
LIP does not manage or place Client assets into a wrap fee program. Investment management services are provided
directly by LIP.
C. Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2024 LIP managed $ $326,098,591 of regulatory assets under management. $113,239,483 is
managed on a discretionary basis and $ $212,859,108 is managed on a non-discretionary basis.
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 a written agreement with the Advisor.
A. Fees for Advisory Services
Private Fund Management
As disclosed in the Fund offering documents, investors will pay a management fee equal to one percent (1%) per annum
of the Fund’s NAV attributable to the Class A Shares, and seventy-five (75) basis points of the Fund’s NAV attributable to the
Founders Class Shares, in each case payable quarterly in advance. Certain investors have negotiated lower management
fees. LIP has the discretion to waive or reduce the management fee for one or more investors without notifying the other
investors. The Firm has, and may from time to time in the future, enter into side letter agreements or similar
arrangements (Collectively “Side Letters”) with certain investors which provide terms and conditions that are more
advantageous to such investors than others including, without limitation, with respect to management fees and
performance based compensation.
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees range up to 1.50% annually. Fees are paid in arrears or in advance of each month or quarter
("Billing Period") 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 or beginning of the Billing Period . Fees are based on the scope
Longwall Investment Partners, LLC
8 Wright Street, Suite 107, Westport, CT 06880
Phone: (203) 209-2785
www.longwallfamilyoffice.com
Page 5
and complexity of the services to be provided; the level of assets to be managed; and the overall relationship with
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 Billing Period of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first Billing Period. 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. Securities held in accounts managed by
LIP will be independently valued by the Custodian. For private investments which do not have readily available prices from
pricing services, the Advisor will report the most recently received information from third party sources other than the
Custodian of the account[s].
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.
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 Billing Period end date. The amount due is calculated by applying the annual rate to the
total assets under management multiplied by the percentage of time in the Billing Period over the calendar year. 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 and compare the statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement
from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting
advisory fees to be deducted by LIP 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. Clients may elect other methods of payment.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
The Fund will pay such costs and expenses as described in its offering documents which shall include, but not limited
to the following expenses: offering, transaction, trading, accounting, legal, administrative, insurance.
Clients incur certain fees or charges imposed by third parties, other than LIP, 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 LIP are separate and distinct from these custody and execution fees.
In addition, all fees paid to LIP 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 LIP, but would not receive the services provided by LIP which are designed, among
other things, to assist the Client in determining 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
LIP 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
LIP is compensated for its investment management services in advance at the commencement of the Billing Period.
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

Page 6
fide advisory services rendered to the point of termination and such fees will be due and payable by the Clientas
disclosed in the advisory agreement. The Client's investment advisory agreement with the Advisor is non-transferable
without the Client's prior consent.
E. Compensation for Sales of Securities
LIP 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.
Item 6 - Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
LIP, or its affiliate, as manager of the Fund is entitled to an annual performance fee (the “Performance Fee”) of ten percent
(10%) of the net profits attributable to the Class A Shares of the Fund, and seven and a half percent (7.5%) of the net
profits attributable to the Founders Class Shares of the Fund, subject to a loss carryforward provision. The Advisor and
the Fund may agree to restructure the Performance Fee as a performance allocation or other form of compensation —
to be paid in cash and/ or in kind—without the consent of the shareholders; provided that the Advisor and the Fund do
not believe such restructuring will have a material impact on the amount of compensation received by the Advisor.
Certain investors have negotiated lower Performance Fees. LIP has the discretion to waive or reduce the
Performance Fee for one or more investors without notifying the other investors.
LIP recognizes that these types of arrangements create an incentive to recommend investments which may be riskier
or more speculative than those which would be recommended under a different fee arrangement. LIP also recognizes
that such fee arrangements create an incentive to favor higher fee paying accounts over other accounts in the
allocation of investment opportunities. In order to address these potential conflicts, LIP has developed policies and
procedures for allocating investments to clients in a fair and equitable manner.
Item 7-Types of Clients
LIP offers investment advisory services to private funds, individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
retirement plans. LIP generally does not impose a minimum relationship size. The Fund requires an initial minimum
investment of $500,000, which may be waived by the Fund.
Item 8- Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
A. Methods of Analysis
LIP primarily employs fundamental and sometimes also technical analysis methods in developing investment strategies
for its Clients. Research and analysis from LIP 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. LIP reviews and recommends securities and
investment managers for investment by our clients.
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
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 LIP will be able to accurately predict such a reoccurrence.
process are included below in Item 13 - Review of Accounts.

www.longwallfamilyoffice.com
Page 7
As noted above, LIP generally employs a long-term investment strategy for its Clients, as consistent with their financial
goals. LIP 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, LIP 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. LIP 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
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 typically 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 risk 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. The
following is a non-exhaustive list 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.
Interest Rate Risk
There is a risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of an increase in interest rates; a bond or a
fixed income fund with a longer duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a bond or bond fund
with a shorter duration.
Credit Risk
There is a risk that an investor could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or
unwilling to meet its financial obligations.
Specific Risk
‐
Issuer
There is a risk that the value of an individual security or particular type of security can be more volatile than the market
as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.
Inflation Risk
Inflation is a decline in the purchasing power of money over time. Inflation risk is the risk that the future real value of
an investment, asset, or income stream will be reduced by inflation.
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 has a large bid-ask spread
Longwall Investment Partners, LLC
8 Wright Street, Suite 107, Westport, CT 06880
Phone: (203) 209-2785
www.longwallfamilyoffice.com
Page 8
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.
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.
Private or Direct Company Investments
Direct investments in private companies are subject to individual company, industrial sector, managerial, and capital adequacy
risks, in addition to illiquidity risk.
Options Contracts
Investments in options contracts have the risk of losing value in a relatively short period of time. Option contracts are
leveraged instruments that allow the holder of a single contract to control many shares of an underlying stock. This leverage
can compound gains or losses.
Alternative Investments (i.e. Limited Partnerships)
The performance of alternative investments (i.e. 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.
Private Funds investment vehicles involve various risk factors including, but not limited to, potential for complete
loss of principal, liquidity constraints, and lack of transparency. Private investment vehicles do not provide daily
liquidity or pricing, and often restrict the ability to redeem all or part of an investment in a Private Fund. In addition,
these funds typically charge higher fees and expenses than some other investment products.
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
There are no legal, regulatory or disciplinary events involving LIP or its management persons. LIP 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# 324336.

Item 10 - Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Neither LIP nor any of its management persons are registered, or has an application pending to register, as a broker- dealer,
registered representative of a broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator or commodity
trading advisor.
LIP is the investment adviser to the Fund. LIP may charge under certain circumstances and in accordance with the
governing documents a separate fee for the management of the fund. This presents a conflict of interest as the Advisor
has an incentive to recommend investment into the Fund. LIP has policies and procedures in place to mitigate this potential
conflict. For instance, LIP will not charge existing advisory clients a separate or additional advisory fee for the management
of Client assets placed in the Fund. Prior to recommending that a Client invest in the Fund, the Advisor ensures any
recommendation to a Client to invest aligns with the Client's investment needs and objectives. There is no requirement for
the Adviser to recommend the Fund to Clients, nor are Clients obligated to invest in the Fund.
Management persons and employees of LIP are permitted to invest in various private entities and securities that are also
recommended to Clients. LIP will provide disclosure to Clients when a management person or employee has an interest in
a recommended security and will offer such investment interest to the Clients first if deemed appropriate according to their
investment objectives.
Item 11 - Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
A. Code of Ethics
LIP 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 LIP ("Supervised Persons"). The Code was developed to provide general
ethical guidelines and specific instructions regarding the Advisor's duties to each Client. LIP and its Supervised
Persons owe a duty of loyalty, fairness and good faith towards each Client. It is the obligation of LIP'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 (203) 209-2785 .
B. Personal Trading with Material Interest
LIP allows Supervised Persons to purchase or sell the same securities that may be recommended to and purchased
on behalf of Clients. LIP does not act as principal in any transactions. LIP is the investment adviser to the Fund. LIP
recommends some Clients invest in the Fund. Supervised persons can and do invest in the Fund.
A. Personal Trading in Same Securities as Clients
LIP 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 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 LIP requiring reporting of personal securities trades by
its Supervised Persons for review by the Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). The Advisor has also adopted written policies
and procedures to detect the misuse of material, non-public information.
B. Personal Trading at Same Time as Client
While LIP 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
LIP, or any Supervised Person of LIP, transact in any security to the detriment of any Client.

Item 12 - Brokerage Practices
A. Recommendation of Custodians
LIP 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
LIP to direct trades to the Custodian as agreed upon in the investment advisory agreement. Further, LIP does not
have the discretionary authority to negotiate commissions on behalf of Clients on a trade-by-trade basis.
Where LIP does not exercise discretion over the selection of the Custodian, it may 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 associated with using a custodian not recommended by LIP. However,
the Advisor may be limited in the services it can provide if the recommended Custodian is not engaged. LIP 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.
The Advisor 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." The Advisor maintains an institutional relationship with Fidelity, whereby the
Advisor can receive economic benefits from Fidelity.
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.
LIP does not participate in soft dollar programs sponsored or offered by any broker- dealer/custodian.
However, the Advisor can receive certain economic benefits from the Custodian. Please see Item 14 below.
2. Brokerage Referrals - LIP 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 LIP 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]. LIP 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. A
Client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified custodian might charge to affect the same
transaction. The Advisor has determined in good faith that the commissions charged by Fidelity are reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services received. In seeking best execution, the determinative
factor is not necessarily the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative execution.
The Advisor has taken into consideration the full range of the Custodian's services, including the value of research
provided, execution capability, commission rates, and responsiveness. The Advisor will seek competitive rates to the
benefit of all Clients; however it may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for specific Client
account transactions. The investment research products and services that may be obtained by the Advisor will
generally be used to service all of the Advisor's Clients, however they may not equally benefit all Clients. Please see
Item 14 below for additional information.
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) client-directed timing or urgency, 2)price, 3) size of
the order, 4) difficulty of execution, 5) confidentiality and 6) skill required of the Custodian. LIP will execute its
transactions through the Custodian as authorized by the Client. LIP 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 Advisory Persons and periodic
reviews conducted by Douglas Hedley, Chief Compliance Officer of LIP. 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 LIP 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 LIP
LIP is a fee-based advisory firm, that is compensated solely by its Clients – whether advisory clients or Fund clients -
and not only from any investment product. LIP does not receive commissions or other compensation from product
sponsors, broker-dealers or any unrelated third party, except as noted under Item 12A above. LIP 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, LIP may receive non- compensated referrals of
new Clients from various third-parties.
Participation in Institutional Advisor Platform
As noted in Item 12, the Advisor has established an institutional relationship with Fidelity to assist the Advisor in
managing Client accounts. 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 investment
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. Client Referrals from Promoters
LIP does not engage paid promoters for Client referrals.
Item 15-Custody
LIP does not accept or maintain physical custody of any Client accounts. However, since certain of the Firm’s Supervised
Persons act as the Directors to the Fund, and the Firm serves as the Advisor of the Fund, the Firm is deemed to have
authority to access Fund assets, and therefore is deemed to have custody of the Fund assets. The Fund provides investors
with audited financial statements prepared by an independent accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board. LIP is also deemed to have custody of Client assets when authorized to deduct the Advisor's
fees from Client accounts. All Clients must place their assets with a "qualified custodian". Clients are required to engage the
Custodian to retain their funds and securities and direct LIP to utilize that Custodian for the Client's security transactions.
Clients should review statements provided by the Custodian and compare those statements to any reports provided by
LIP to ensure accuracy, as the Custodian does not perform this review. For more information about custodians and
brokerage practices, see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices.
Additionally, if the Client gives the Advisor authority to move money from one account to another account, the Advisor may
have custody of those assets. In order to avoid additional regulatory requirements, the Custodian and the Advisor have
adopted safeguards to ensure that the money movements are completed in accordance with the Client's instructions.
Item 16 - Investment Discretion
LIP provides both discretionary and non-discretionary investment management.
Clients grant LIP discretionary
trading authority when they execute a discretionary management agreement. When LIP is granted trading discretion
by a Client, it has authority to select the timing of trades and amount of securities to be bought or sold in Client
accounts without obtaining prior approval from the Client. Clients have the opportunity to place reasonable restrictions
on this trading authority.
Item 17 - Voting Client Securities
LIP does not accept proxy-voting responsibility for Clients, except for the Fund. 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.
Regarding the Fund, LIP has the authority to vote client securities in accordance with the Advisor’s proxy voting
policies and procedures. These procedures are reasonably designed for voting proxies in the best interests of clients
consistent with the investment philosophy described in the Fund offering materials.
Item 18 - Financial Information
Neither LIP, nor its management, have any adverse financial situations that would reasonably impair the ability of LIP
to meet all obligations to its Clients. Neither LIP, nor any of its Advisory Persons, have been subject to a bankruptcy
or financial compromise. LIP 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 months or more in the future.
