| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure] |

FEES AND COMPENSATION Investment management fees are payable quarterly and in advance of services at a rate equal to one-fourth of the agreed annual percentage rate multiplied by the “billable balance” on the last day of the preceding calendar quarter. For this purpose, “billable balance” is the value of the Client’s portfolio as of the last market day of the applicable quarter, adjusted to prorate additions and withdrawals during the previous quarter. William Madison Advisors Form ADV Part 2A The standard fee charged for investment management services is 0.95% annually of the value of the portfolio managed by the Adviser. Investment management fees may be modified from the foregoing based upon individual circumstances, aggregation of accounts, the complexity of services, the portfolio allocation, additional resources required, or at the discretion of the Adviser. Investment management fees are determined upon the initiation of the engagement and are outlined and agreed upon in writing by the Adviser and the Client in the Advisory Services Agreement. Advisory fees are not collected for services to be performed more than six months in advance. William Madison Advisors does not charge setup fees to new clients, nor does the Firm charge an established minimum annual fee. Payment of investment management fees is made through a debit directly to the Client’s investment account, as specifically authorized by the client in the initial account application with the brokerage firm, or via an alternative method that is agreed upon by the Adviser and Client. The aforementioned advisory fees represent fees for advisory and management services only. Clients may pay transaction fees to broker/dealers, custodians, and to other third-party service providers who may be engaged by Clients (such as trust companies, etc.). All fees paid to the Adviser for investment advisory services are separate from the fees and expenses charged to shareholders of mutual fund shares. A complete explanation of the expenses charged by the mutual funds is contained in each fund’s prospectus. Clients are encouraged to read each fund prospectus. Presently, client accounts managed by William Madison Advisors are primarily held at Charles Schwab Advisor Services, a subsidiary of Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., (“Schwab”). Accordingly, Schwab maintains custody of all client accounts due to the economies and efficiencies achieved. From time to time, William Madison Advisors may coordinate with other brokerage firms for the purchase of certain securities not available from Schwab, but such transactions will ultimately transact with the Client’s account at Schwab. Traditionally, this has been limited to fixed-income investments (e.g. corporate and municipal bonds). As a fee-only Investment Adviser, the Firm does not charge or participate in any form of wrap fees, which include a management fee and commission expenses wrapped into a single charge. Additionally, William Madison Advisors does not charge performance-based fees, as defined by the SEC’s Investment Adviser’s Act of 1940, as amended. If Clients require additional services outside the scope of Investment Management Services, as detailed above, such as consultation or research services, the Firm’s hourly rate will apply. The hourly rate will vary depending upon the particular circumstances, complexity or nature of desired services, and at the discretion of the Adviser. The hourly rate will be agreed upon prior to the initiation of services. For more time-intensive projects, the Adviser may request a retainer equal to an amount up to one-half of the total estimated fee, with the balance due upon delivery of services. Otherwise, payments for Consultation Service are due upon the delivery of the agreed upon services. Personal Financial Planning services are offered at the Firm’s current hourly rate, based, in part, upon the complexity of services and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Firm. The approximate total cost will be determined and agreed upon at the time of engagement. If Client circumstances or objectives change such that a new investment plan is required, it is understandable that there may be additional fees. The Client would be notified prior to the William Madison Advisors Form ADV Part 2A initiation of any additional efforts. Financial Planning fees are generally due and payable upon delivery of the plan. However, for more time-intensive projects, the Adviser may request a retainer at the time of engagement and will invoice the Client for the balance upon the delivery of services. We offer Estate Planning services to assist with general information as it applies to reviews of existing plans, gathering information needed by outside firms in the creation of documents, and updating existing plans for clients. Depending upon the needs of the client and desires for estate planning document review, preparation, or updates, we may engage EncorEstate Plans or EstateGuru, which are third-party scrivener services, or provide a referral to an estate planning attorney. If a referral is made to an estate planning attorney, the Client will pay those service providers directly. Generally, if EncorEstate Plans or EstateGuru is utilized, William Madison Advisors will charge an agreed upon fee, which will be billed to the Client in accordance with the fee for Personal Financial Planning services as described in the Advisory Services Agreement. Clients are not required to utilize any third-party products or services that we may recommend, and they may be able to receive similar services from other professionals at a similar or lower cost. PERFORMANCE-BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT William Madison Advisors does not charge performance-based fees (i.e. fees based on a share of capital gains on or capital appreciation of the assets of a client). |

TYPES OF CLIENTS William Madison Advisors provides Investment Supervisory and Management Services to individuals, high net worth individuals, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, foundations, family limited partnerships, corporations, and other business entities. William Madison Advisors does not state publicly the minimum dollar amount required for a client to initiate an investment advisory relationship. The Firm may, in its own judgment, determine to accept a portfolio upon the commencement of the investment advisory relationship, based upon certain factors including, but not limited to, family relationships, intention of the new client to bring additional assets, or clients who demonstrate a particular accumulation mindset. The Firm’s Consultation and Financial Planning Services, which are billed at hourly rates, do not require a minimum relationship size. The goal of the Firm is to work with Clients of all ages and sizes with the appropriate attitude that will enable the Firm to assist them with the stewardship of their wealth. William Madison Advisors consults with certain non-profit organizations to assist with financial matters relating to foundations, charitable trusts, endowments, and charitable gift annuities, among other items. In certain situations, WMA is engaged by the Board of Directors or Executive Director of the non-profit organization, President of a foundation, or the Trustee of certain charitable trusts to manage the assets of the organization or trust. Neither William Madison Advisors nor any of the Firm’s Registered Investment Adviser Representatives acts as custodian of any account or trustee for any charitable trust. William Madison Advisors Form ADV Part 2A METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, AND RISK OF LOSS William Madison Advisors seeks to match investment management services to personal financial planning objectives and considers the success of an investment management program to be dependent upon a clear financial plan. Personal financial planning services are an integral part of services offered by the firm. Once personal financial goals are quantified, the investor’s risk tolerance, investment time horizon, net worth, tax situation, and stage in life are defined for preparation of an initial, formal, written Investment Policy Statement, which is to provide guidance to the Adviser in the management of funds. Investment strategies include a focus on long-term portfolio construction. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Historically and statistically, risks of loss are greatly reduced when investors utilize a minimum of a five-to- seven year time horizon as their investment timeline. Meeting individual risk tolerances and investment time horizons contribute to portfolio allocation between fixed-income and equity securities. Asset allocation, which seeks to achieve the most efficient diversification of assets for the accomplishment of specific goals, is customized for each client. The Investment Policy Statement, which provides guidance for the investment effort, is reviewed periodically with the client for revision to meet changing needs over time. When revisions are determined appropriate, a written modification memorandum to the Investment Policy Statement is made and acknowledged by the client. The Firm’s premise for Personal Financial Planning is that this effort is a comprehensive, iterative, and ongoing process that seeks to maximize the utilization of a client’s financial resources, while taking into consideration the client’s individual uniquenesses and stage in life. The Personal Financial Planning process is a learned and professional discipline for which the firm has considerable training, credentials, and experience. Personal Financial Planning is comprehensive in that it encompasses cash/debt management, risk management (insurance), investments, taxes, retirement preparation planning, and estate planning. The Personal Financial Planning process (1) assesses and summarizes the current financial condition of the client, (2) identifies and quantifies the financial goals desired for achievement, (3) makes recommendations and implements certain actions to accomplish the identified goals, and (4) sets in place an approach for reviewing and monitoring the progress of achieving the stated goals. Retirement preparation planning is one of the most significant areas of financial planning that requires investment advisory services. William Madison Advisors takes a well-developed and unique approach to this area of financial planning, including (1) defining and quantifying how much will need to be accumulated for retirement, (2) identifying the amount that will need to be placed regularly into a defined accumulation program to meet that goal and where those funds need to be invested, and (3) providing a measurement tool for monitoring the progress of the accumulation effort on an ongoing basis. The concept of allocating assets in an investment portfolio between equity investments, fixed-income investments, and cash, is generally at the forefront of the Firm’s strategies. Upon determining the proper allocation of these broad asset classes, a Client’s investment portfolio is allocated further among a number of sub-asset classes (e.g. domestic equities, foreign equities, large, mid, and small cap equities, corporate bonds, and government William Madison Advisors Form ADV Part 2A securities). At its core, asset allocation seeks to achieve the most efficient diversification of assets, so as to help lessen risk over time while not sacrificing the effectiveness of the portfolio in an effort to achieve the Client’s objectives.
