platforms typically have minimum investment requirements that vary by program.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF LOSS
Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
Our firm generally utilizes fundamental analysis methods to analyze investments. Our primary sources of
information include, but are not limited to, research materials prepared by others, the inspection of corporate
activities, financial newspapers and magazines, annual reports, prospectuses, and corporate press releases.
The investment strategies recommended by our firm focus on strategic asset allocation. Our general
recommendations consist of exchange-traded funds and mutual funds for long-term growth and income. Four
key features highlight our investment strategies:
Asset Allocation
Asset allocation is the attempt to identify classes of securities that have distinct characteristics of risk and return.
Examples of “asset classes” are U.S. large-company stocks, U.S. small-company stocks, value stocks, foreign
stocks, and high-quality bonds. Plum Street Advisors’ goal is to combine these asset classes (and others) into a
diversified portfolio that most efficiently maximizes return per unit of risk for clients. We generally utilize
investments that accurately represent specific asset classes, such as low-cost index mutual funds, asset class
mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds.
Active Rebalancing
We set target ratios for each position we hold in a client’s account. When positions deviate significantly from
their target ratios, we will buy or sell investments to reallocate a portfolio to its target ratios. A client’s target
ratios may also change over time as securities markets change or a client’s circumstances change. However, we
do not engage in short-term market timing. If a client adds a significant amount of cash to a portfolio, we may
invest the cash, if appropriate, over a period of months, using a strategy called “dollar-cost averaging.”
Limiting Costs
We believe that costs significantly impact investment returns, and we attempt to reduce the total costs of
investing as much as possible. We generally utilize low-cost index mutual funds, asset class mutual funds, and
exchange-traded funds with low internal expense ratios and low internal turnover rates. We do not use funds
with internal sales charges, commissions, or “loads” such as 12b-1 fees or contingent deferred sales charges.
Moreover, we do not engage in short-term trading.
Active Tax Management
We utilize several strategies to minimize taxes on investments. These strategies, among others, may include
allocating investments for investors with high taxable incomes to tax-deferred accounts, using tax-exempt
investments, realizing taxable losses, and utilizing funds with low turnover rates and small capital gains
distributions. We also attempt to limit the turnover of investments in client portfolios to minimize the realization
of taxable capital gains.
A strategic asset allocation strategy involves the periodic and less frequent rebalancing of a somewhat set
allocation of various asset classes to maintain a long-term goal for the asset allocation based on an investor’s
risk tolerance, goals, and investment time frame. On the other hand, a tactical asset allocation strategy is an
active management portfolio strategy that adjusts the percentage of various asset classes. The adjustment
includes strategies to protect cash or cash equivalents in periods of heightened volatility to take advantage of
market pricing anomalies or strong market sectors.
While our investment strategies focus primarily on strategic asset allocation, we recommend and employ the
methods and techniques that best meet our clients’ investment goals and objectives. It is important to note that
because market conditions can vary greatly, asset allocation guidelines are not necessarily strict rules. Instead,
we review accounts individually and may deviate from the guidelines as necessary or appropriate. The specific
strategy or portfolios that we recommend will depend on market conditions and our research at the time of the
recommendation.

Material Risks of Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies
We utilize conventional analysis methods and investment strategies, and even so, some material risk remains.
Performance and capital preservation are not guaranteed; continually changing market conditions create the
necessity of periodically re-evaluating each position in the account portfolio. Mutual funds will be assessed
regularly against other comparable funds. A pattern of poor performance by a mutual fund over time will result
in the mutual fund being eliminated from our strategy. We anticipate investing primarily in low-cost index
mutual funds, asset class mutual funds, passively and actively managed exchange-traded funds, and occasionally
options.
INVESTING IN SECURITIES INVOLVES A RISK OF LOSS THAT CLIENTS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO BEAR.
Clients should know that all securities and investment strategies have various risks. While it is impossible to
name all potential risks associated with our specific methods of analysis and investment strategies, some risks
are as follows:
• General Market Risk. Markets fluctuate, moving up or down based on news releases or, at times, for no
