Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Advisory Fees
Management fees are based on the market value of portfolio assets as determined by Ulland Investment
Advisors.
For new accounts, Ulland Investment Advisors’ Intelligent Fixed Income, Intelligent Fixed Income IG,
Defensive Growth and Intelligent Blend strategies are charged the following tiered rate: for amounts up
to $2 million the fee is 1.00 percent annually; for additional amounts greater than $2 million but less
than $5 million the fee is reduced to 0.75 percent on those funds, annually; for additional amounts
greater than $5 million the fee is further reduced to 0.50 percent on those funds, annually. Ulland
Investment Advisors’ Intelligent Fixed Income GOV strategy is billed at a flat rate 0.25 percent, annually.
Ulland Investment Advisors has in the past and can in the future negotiate the amount and payment of
fees in large accounts or in any account for other reasons such as competition. Fees are subject to
change on written notice.
B. Payment of Fees
Fees can be deducted directly from the client’s account or can be paid outside of the account by the
client. The method of fee payment is based on client preference. Fees are paid quarterly in advance.
Fees do not include brokerage fees or custodian charges.
C. Other Fees or Expenses
Within the scope of Ulland Investment Advisors’ management services, clients will incur brokerage fees
(commissions) and other transaction costs, such as mutual fund expenses and custodian fees (money
transfer fees, account transfer fees, etc.), the extent of which will depend upon the investments held,
trading activity and chosen custodian.
D. Advance Payment of Fees
Management fees are based on the market value of portfolio assets as of the last day of the quarter.
Fees are billed forward based on a 90‐day quarter.
Refunds are made in the case of termination of the account. The calculation of the refund is on a 90‐day
quarter with the refund computed on days of prepaid services not performed, less a $95 account closing
fee. De minimis fluctuations in assets deposited for management throughout a quarter will not be
subject to fee proration on a daily or monthly basis.
E. Additional Fee Compensation

of assets under management. Ulland Investment Advisors does not earn fee income from hourly work

with companies.
Ulland Investment Advisors does not use timing services.
B. Investment Strategies and Risks
The investment strategies Ulland Investment Advisors uses to implement any investment advice given to
clients include: (1) long‐term purchases (securities held at least a year), (2) short‐term purchases
(securities sold within a year), (3) trading (securities sold within 30 days), and (4) other strategies
explained directly below. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to
bear.
Ulland Investment Advisors currently offers five investment strategies to current and new clients:
1. The Intelligent Blend strategy seeks to provide long‐term capital appreciation. Intelligent Blend
invests predominately in equity securities, primarily in U.S.‐based companies. The strategy has
the flexibility to invest across all sectors and market capitalizations, in addition to holding cash,
cash equivalents, ETFs, preferred stock and other fixed income securities.

Form ADV Part 2
Ulland Investment Advisors, LLC
3/28/2025
2. The Defensive Growth strategy seeks to provide a combination of long‐term capital appreciation
and current income. Defensive Growth invests predominately in large‐cap, dividend‐paying
equity securities, preferred stock and other fixed income securities, primarily in U.S.‐based
companies. The strategy has the flexibility to invest across all sectors and market capitalizations,
in addition to holding cash, cash equivalents and ETFs.
3. The Intelligent Fixed Income strategy seeks to provide long‐term total return and current
income. The strategy invests solely in fixed income securities, primarily in preferred stock. The
strategy has the flexibility to invest in corporate bonds and other subordinated debt securities in
addition to holding cash or cash equivalents. The strategy has the flexibility to invest in
investment grade, below investment grade or non‐rated securities.
4. The Intelligent Fixed Income IG strategy seeks to provide long‐term total return and current
income. The strategy invests solely in fixed income securities, primarily in preferred stock. The
strategy has the flexibility to invest in corporate bonds and other subordinated debt securities in
addition to holding cash or cash equivalents. The strategy invests solely in investment grade
securities, which UIA defines as holding at least one investment grade rating from S&P, Moody’s
or Fitch. The strategy has 90 days to exit a security if it loses its investment grade rating.
5. The Intelligent Fixed Income GOV strategy seeks to provide current income while maintaining
principal value. The strategy invests solely in U.S. Treasuries with maturities no longer than 36
months. The strategy may hold cash or cash equivalents. Securities may be sold prior to
maturity.
Ulland Investment Advisors currently manages one investment strategy that is closed to new clients:
1. The Intelligent Growth strategy seeks to provide long‐term capital appreciation. Intelligent
Growth invests predominately in small‐cap equity securities, primarily in U.S.‐based companies.
The strategy has the flexibility to invest across all sectors and market capitalizations, in addition
to holding cash, cash equivalents, ETFs, preferred stock and other fixed income securities.
The prices of equity securities are sensitive to a wide range of factors, from economic to company‐
specific news, and can fluctuate repeatedly and unexpectedly, causing an investment to decrease in
value. Stocks in portfolios often are in the same or similar industries; therefore, portfolios may show
industry or sector concentration. Small‐cap stocks often tend to trade more thinly and may have a more
limited float than larger companies. Shares of small companies historically have shown more volatility in
share price. Share price volatility is often not correlated with business performance of the company.
Therefore, performance in the portfolios may be vulnerable to a less efficient market, share illiquidity,
and share price volatility. A majority of the common stocks in the portfolios are available on the
NASDAQ Composite and on the New York Stock Exchange. Investors are sought who can tolerate
quarter‐to‐quarter volatility in performance and who have at least a three‐ to five‐year investment
horizon.
The principal risks of investing in fixed income include interest rate risk: the value of fixed income
securities is impacted by changes in interest rates. Bonds with longer durations tend to be more
sensitive and more volatile than securities with shorter durations; bond prices generally fall as interest
rates rise. Other risks include call risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk.

Ulland Investment Advisors, LLC

In general, the risks of investing in preferred securities are similar to those of investing in bonds,
including credit risk and interest rate risk. As nearly all preferred securities have issuer call options, call
risk, income risk and reinvestment risk are also important considerations. In addition, investors face
equity‐like risks, such as deferral or omission of distributions, subordination to bonds and other more
senior debt, and higher corporate governance risks with limited voting rights. Preferred securities are
primarily from the financial services sector and may result in concentration in that sector. Some of
these securities have less liquidity than the average common stocks. The banking sector also is subject
to regulatory, economic cycle and geopolitical risk.
Ulland Investment Advisors at times invests cash balances in money market funds or mutual funds.
Clients whose assets are invested in mutual funds pay both a management fee to Ulland Investment
Advisors related to the investment and an indirect management fee as well as other costs to the third
parties, the extent of which depends upon mutual fund class share selection.
Ulland Investment Advisors does not offer a margin trading strategy, though upon request will
implement and maintain margin on a client’s account. Interest on margin loans is paid to the client’s
custodian. Ulland Investment Advisors does not receive compensation for implementing or maintaining
margin.
Ulland Investment Advisors does not implement the following strategies: (1) short sales or (2) option
writing, including covered options, uncovered options, or spreading strategies.
Ulland Investment Advisors offers advice on the following investments: (1) preferred securities, (2)
equities, including exchanged‐listed securities, securities traded over‐the‐counter and foreign issuers,
(3) warrants, (4) corporate debt securities, (5) certificates of deposit, (6) municipal securities, (7)
investment company securities, including mutual fund shares, (8) United States government securities,
(9) interests in partnerships investing in real estate, oil and gas or other, and (10) other securities,
including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), units of, or rights to purchase or sell, securities; obligations of
the United States, states, counties, cities, or other political subdivisions or agencies thereof; various
money market instruments, such as bankers acceptances, corporate demand notes and repurchase
obligations; and debt obligations of corporations and foreign governments.
Ulland Investment Advisors does not offer advice on the following investments: (1) variable life
insurance, (2) options contracts on securities or commodities, and (3) futures contracts on tangibles and
intangibles.
Investing in any market exposes investors to risks; principal loss is possible. Investors should consider
the investment objectives, risk, charges, and expenses of any strategy carefully before investing.
Item 9: Disciplinary Information
Ulland Investment Advisors is obligated to report any legal or disciplinary event that might be
considered material to clients or prospective clients evaluating our firm. Ulland Investment Advisors (or
any of the firm’s employees) has not been involved in any legal or disciplinary event.

Ulland Investment Advisors is not registered (or has an application pending) as a securities broker‐
dealer, nor is Ulland Investment Advisors registered (or has an application pending) as a futures
commission merchant, commodity pool operator, commodity trading advisor or an associated person of
the foregoing entities.
Ulland Investment Advisors does not have arrangements that are material to its advisory business or its
clients with a related person who is a(n) broker‐dealer, municipal securities dealer, government
securities dealer or broker, investment company or other pooled investment vehicle, other investment
advisor or financial planner, futures commission merchant, commodity pool operator or commodity
trading advisor, banking or thrift institution, accountant or accounting firm, lawyer or law firm,
insurance company or agency, pension consultant, real estate broker or dealer, or sponsor or
syndicator of limited partnerships.
Ulland Investment Advisors or its principal executive is not a general partner in any partnership in which
clients are solicited to invest. Ulland Investment Advisors does not recommend or select other
investment advisers for clients and/or receive compensation directly or indirectly from other investment
advisors.
Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and
Personal Trading
Pursuant to SEC Rule 204A‐1 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Ulland Investment Advisors has
developed a Code of Ethics, which outlines firm procedures and policies related to Investment Adviser
best practices, standards of professional conduct, and ethics. It is designed to be a permanent record of
the requirements and standards applied by Ulland Investment Advisors and ensure that we meet our
fiduciary obligation to clients, enhance our culture of compliance within the firm and detect and prevent
any violations of securities laws. Ulland Investment Advisors will provide a copy of this Code of Ethics to
any current client or prospective client upon request.
Each new employee of Ulland Investment Advisors receives a copy of the Code of Ethics for review, and
current employees must annually review and confirm understanding of the Code of Ethics per the firm’s
compliance policy.
As outlined in the Code of Ethics, Ulland Investment Advisors’ employees and its principal executive
officers have the option to buy or sell securities that the firm also recommends to clients. Ulland
Investment Advisors at times invests corporate and retirement funds, as well as employee and family
accounts, in the same securities that are purchased for clients. The firm will make reasonable efforts to
trade securities in client accounts prior to trading securities in corporate, family or employee accounts.
It is the policy of the firm to place client interests first.
Ulland Investment Advisors and its employees and their families have discretion to invest in securities
unsuitable or too speculative for some or all client accounts. Such investments will appear to pose a
conflict of interest between the advisor's fiduciary obligation and its own investment portfolio. The
firm, its employees, and families also have the discretion to invest in securities whose directors, officers

Form ADV Part 2
Ulland Investment Advisors, LLC
3/28/2025
and controlling persons are clients of Ulland Investment Advisors. Such relationships will be monitored
to ensure a conflict of interest does not arise between Ulland Investment Advisors' fiduciary obligation
and its desire to attract and retain clients.
All securities transactions implemented by employees of Ulland Investment Advisors are pre‐cleared by
the firm President and/or Chief Compliance Officer (in the event neither are available, transactions are
pre‐cleared by the acting senior trader). Ulland Investment Advisors monitors all employee securities
transactions and remains alert for unusual or unethical patterns and stresses an open culture for the
immediate reporting of any violations to the firm’s Chief Compliance Officer.
Ulland Investment Advisors does not (1) as principal, buy securities for itself from, or sell securities it
owns, to any client, (2) as a broker or agent effect securities transactions for compensation for any
client, (3) as a broker or agent for any person other than a client effect transactions in which client
securities are sold to or bought from a brokerage customer, or (4) recommend to clients that they buy
or sell securities or investment products in which the applicant or a related person has some financial
interest.
Item 12: Brokerage Practices
Selection of Broker‐Dealers and Research and Soft Dollar Benefits
Ulland Investment Advisors, or related persons, has/have authority to determine, without obtaining
specific client consent, (1) securities bought or sold, (2) the amount of the securities bought or sold, (3)
the broker or dealer to be used, and (4) the commission rates paid. Ulland Investment Advisors, or
related persons, has/have the authority to suggest brokers and custodians to clients.
Clients sign a limited power of attorney for Ulland Investment Advisors. The power of attorney relates
primarily to trading activity in the account and gives full investment discretion to Ulland Investment
Advisors including which securities to buy or sell, the timing, amount, and price within the guidelines set
forth in the “Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss” section on page 6.
The client has the right to place other investment limitations in the investment advisory agreement.
In the absence of specific client direction, Ulland Investment Advisors will exercise discretion in the
selection of broker/dealers for the execution of trades. When placing accounts with brokerages, Ulland
Investment Advisors' overriding objective is to obtain the best combination of price and execution. The
best net price is an important factor, but the advisor also considers the full range and quality of a
broker's services including the value of research provided, execution, clearance, and settlement
capability, and overall responsiveness to the advisor. Recognizing the value of these factors, it is possible
a client will not pay the lowest commission or spread available on any particular transaction.
Certain broker/dealers who provide best execution services in securities transactions furnish investment
research including analyst reports for use by Ulland Investment Advisors in managing client accounts,
otherwise known as “soft dollar” benefits. Ulland Investment Advisors will use these brokers to execute
transactions in part in return for investment research. The research is normally used in connection with
many accounts though not necessarily used in connection with the accounts that paid commissions to
the broker providing such research. Ulland Investment Advisors receives a benefit from the investment
10
This part of Form ADV gives information about the investment adviser and its business for the use of clients.

Form ADV Part 2
Ulland Investment Advisors, LLC
3/28/2025
research in that Ulland Investment Advisors does not have to produce or pay for the investment
research. Ulland Investment Advisors has the authority to select or recommend a broker/dealer based
on Ulland Investment Advisors’ interest in receiving the investment research.
In the past fiscal year, Ulland Investment Advisors has received investment research from select
broker/dealers through client brokerage commissions. In instances where a broker/dealer is deemed to
provide valuable investment research, trades will be directed to the broker/dealer in exchange for the
aforementioned investment research should the opportunity present itself and be deemed in the
clients’ overall best interest.
Ulland Investment Advisors considers the designation of a broker by the client as an implicit direction of
commissions generated by the trading of securities held in the client account. Designation of a broker
could cause the client to pay higher transaction fees than otherwise might be available and will serve as
a consideration if referring business to Ulland Investment Advisors. In addition, Ulland Investment
Advisors may not be authorized under those circumstances to negotiate commissions and may not be
able to obtain volume discounts or best execution. Under these circumstances, a disparity in
commissions charged may exist between the commissions charged to clients who direct Ulland
Investment Advisors to use a particular broker/dealer and those clients who do not. Clients should
consider the implications of any fiduciary laws applicable to such clients prior to designation of a broker
for the execution of trades.
Should clients ask Ulland Investment Advisors to recommend a broker/dealer for custody of assets and
execution of trades, Ulland Investment Advisors will use its experience to recommend a reputable
broker/dealer which provides for responsive, timely, value‐added and high‐quality transactions at
competitive prices.
Purchase and Sale Aggregation
When Ulland Investment Advisors determines that a particular security is an appropriate investment for
more than one client, a single order will be placed on behalf of more than one client. Each client that
participates in an aggregate order will participate at the average share price for all transactions in that
security on a given business day, with transaction costs shared pro rata, subject to direction of
brokerage. (Clients who have directed brokerage to a specific broker dealer will share average price and
pro rata execution costs obtained through their preferred broker dealer.) Before entering an aggregate
order, Ulland Investment Advisors will prepare a written allocation statement specifying the
participation of client accounts and how Ulland Investment Advisors intends to allocate the order
amount to those clients. If the aggregated order is filled in its entirety, it will be allocated among clients
in accordance with the allocation statement. If an aggregated order is partially filled, the allocation will
be fulfilled in accordance with the allocation statement. The remainder of the allocation statement will
be filled on subsequent trading days, subject to best execution.
It is possible an aggregated order is allocated on a basis different from that specified in the allocation
statement if all client accounts receive fair and equitable treatment. If an aggregated order is partially
executed and allocated on a basis different from that specified in the allocation statement, no client that
benefits from the different allocation may affect any purchase or sale, for a reasonable period following
the execution of the aggregated order, that would result in the client receiving or selling more shares
than the number of shares it would have received or sold had the aggregated order been fully executed.

Form ADV Part 2
Ulland Investment Advisors, LLC
3/28/2025
Ulland Investment Advisors may at times allocate trades based on the amount of cash in client accounts
as securities are bought and sold within a trading day based on portfolio strategy and liquidity levels.
Ulland Investment Advisors will receive no additional compensation of any kind as a result of order
aggregation. Client advice and treatment will remain individual even in the situation of aggregated
orders.
Trade Errors
Ulland Investment Advisors has a legal and fiduciary obligation to ensure that clients are not
disadvantaged by trade errors in any way. A trade error is an error in the placement, execution or
settlement of a client’s trade. When a trade error occurs, we work with all relevant parties in the trading
process to promptly correct the error while ensuring it does not disadvantage the client. Our policy is to
restore the client account to the same net position it would have been in had the trading error not
occurred. The correction of a trade error may generate a gain or a loss, which is ultimately isolated from
the client’s account. A trade error gain is not paid to Ulland Investment Advisors. Trading partners (i.e.
counterparties) may place the gain in an error account and donate the gain to charity. In such cases,
Ulland Investment Advisors does not benefit from the gains in the error account.
Item 13: Review of Accounts
Ulland Investment Advisors will review accounts on an ongoing basis. Factors triggering a review include
buy and sell disciplines such as weighting of a security in a portfolio, change in asset allocation, change
in sector or security fundamentals, change in investment guidelines from the client, and other internal
policy limitations. The President, Nathaniel J. Beebe, assisted by appropriate staff members, performs
account reviews and securities selection.
Clients of the firm will receive quarterly account reports including a list of all securities held in the
custodian account, the market value of the securities at the date of the report, the approximate yield of
the securities, and a message including market comments from Nathaniel J. Beebe. Performance
reviews are given including percentage gain or loss in the account value using a time‐weighted
calculation. Gain and loss status is provided between normal reporting periods when requested.
Additional communication on client accounts is provided through periodic e‐mails, newsletters, personal
meetings, and telephone calls.
Item 14: Client Referrals and Other Compensation
Ulland Investment Advisors does not establish arrangements, oral or in writing, where it is paid cash by
or receives some economic benefit (including commissions, equipment or non‐research services) from a
non‐client in connection with giving advice to clients. Ulland Investment Advisors does not directly or
indirectly compensate persons for client referrals.

Item 15: Custody
Ulland Investment Advisors maintains custody of funds or securities in select client accounts which grant
Ulland Investment Advisors the authority to disburse funds to third parties (according to the SEC’s
Custody Rule). For all client accounts, the client’s qualified custodian will send monthly statements that
the client should carefully review. As previously mentioned, Ulland Investment Advisors sends quarterly
appraisals to each client at the end of each quarter. Clients are urged to compare the two statements.
Item 16: Investment Discretion
Ulland Investment Advisors accepts discretionary authority to manage securities accounts on behalf of
clients and provides investment supervisory services and management of investment advisory accounts.
Ulland Investment Advisors also accepts non‐discretionary authority to provide investment supervisory
services on behalf of clients. Ulland Investment Advisors imposes a minimum dollar value of assets or
other conditions for starting or maintaining an account. Ulland Investment Advisors generally requires a
minimum account size of $500,000 but has the option to waive the required minimum in special
circumstances.
To obtain discretionary authority, Ulland Investment Advisors must first gain approval from clients
through the completion of Ulland
Investment Advisory Agreement and
Investment Advisors’
broker/dealer client account forms, which give Ulland Investment Advisors limited powers of attorney to
effect trades and draw management fees.
To provide investment supervisory services for non‐discretionary accounts, Ulland Investment Advisors
must first gain approval from clients through the completion of Ulland Investment Advisors’ Non‐
Discretionary Investment Advisor Agreement, which gives Ulland Investment Advisors the ability to
provide investment supervisory services to the client and receive management fees but not the ability to
effect trades nor draw management fees.
Item 17: Voting Client Securities
Ulland Investment Advisors currently does not review proxy statements or vote proxies for securities
held in client accounts. However, this service can be provided through individual negotiations. Clients
also have the option to choose to receive proxies and other solicitations directly from their custodian.
Clients can contact Ulland Investment Advisors with questions about particular solicitations.
Item 18: Financial Information
Ulland Investment Advisors is not required to provide a balance sheet for the most recent fiscal year
because the firm (1) does not maintain custody of client funds or securities, and (2) does not require
prepayment of more than $1,200 in fees per client six or more months in advance.
