ITEM 5. FEES AND COMPENSATION
Generally, clients pay a management fee on a quarterly basis based on the client’s aggregated assets under management with
1919 at that point in time. The fee schedule set forth below is 1919’s standard fee schedule as of January 1, 2026. Fees vary
for a variety of circumstances that include, but are not limited to, (i) clients who opened accounts under prior fee schedules,
(ii) clients who transition their accounts to 1919 from a firm that is affiliated with, or acquired by, 1919, (iii) clients who obtain
1919 investment advisory services pursuant to agreements such clients have with other firms, such as wrap fee program
sponsors and 1919 affiliates, Stifel Trust Company, National Association (“Stifel Trust”) and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company,
Incorporated (“Stifel Nicolaus”), or (iv) clients who have greater servicing needs. Additionally, fees may vary if a client is
accessing 1919’s investment advisory services through select programs at unaffiliated firms. 1919 and clients will mutually
agree to a fee structure prior to entering into an agreement. Clients have the option to purchase investment products that 1919
recommends through brokers or agents that are not affiliated with us.

Clients may request to “household” accounts serviced by 1919 (that is, group accounts of different clients together when those
clients have a pre-existing relationship to one another for an aggregate value that qualifies for a lower fee tier). It is a client’s
responsibility to determine whether they have multiple accounts that could be placed in a billing household and potentially
result in lower overall fees. Special tax rules may apply to the inclusion of IRAs and Keogh plans in a household, and 1919
may decline requests to combine retirement accounts subject to ERISA with non-retirement accounts into a single fee
household. Requests for alternative fee arrangements are considered using several factors – such as longevity of relationship,
aggregate assets under management across asset types, and requested additional services (e.g., 1919’s family office or financial
planning services) - and approval is at 1919’s discretion.
Wrap Fees
In a wrap fee program, a client pays an asset-based fee to the program sponsor that typically covers the sponsor’s investment
advisory and custody services, and the cost of brokerage transactions executed by the sponsor or by a broker- dealer designated
by the sponsor. 1919’s fees are included in the wrap fee when 1919’s Wrap Fee Strategy manages the client’s wrap fee account.
If managed outside of 1919’s Wrap Fee Strategy, clients pay 1919 a fee for such investment management services that is
separate from the wrap fee paid to the sponsor. Clients with accounts in a wrap fee program should contact the program’s

sponsor for information regarding fees and expenses associated with program accounts.
