This agreement contains a predispute arbitration clause. By signing an arbitration agreement the parties agree as follows:• All parties to this agreement are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by

the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed.• Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.• The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court

proceedings.• The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible case, a joint request for an explained decision has

been submitted by all parties to the panel at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled hearing date.• The panel of arbitrators will typically include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry.• The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration in some cases, a claim that is ineligible for

arbitration may be brought in court.• The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this agreement.The Client agrees that any controversy arising out of or relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement, or any investment by the Client hereunder, or with respect to transactions of any kind executed by or with RBC Capital Markets, LLC (“RBC CM”), Member NYSE/FINRA/SIPC, any introducing broker for the Account (if applicable), or each of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, or affiliate, or with respect to this Agreement or any other agreements entered in to with RBC CM or the introducing broker (if applicable) relating to the Accounts with RBC CM or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with the rules, then in effect, of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Notice preliminary to, in conjunction with or incident to arbitration, may be sent to the Client by mail and personal service is hereby waived. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any predispute arbitration against any person who has initiated in court a putative class action; or who is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (i) the request for class certification is denied; (ii) the class is decertified; or (iii) the customer is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Agreement except to the extent stated herein.

Investment Objectives Definitions: Capital Preservation: The objective of Capital Preservation is to protect your initial investment by choosing investments that minimize the potential of any loss of principal. The long-term risk of capital preservation is that the returns may not be adequate to offset inflation. Income: The

primary objective of an income strategy is to provide current income rather than long-term growth of principal. Balanced/Conservative Growth: The primary

objective of Balanced/Conservative Growth is to provide reasonable growth with less volatile performance by looking at fixed income and blue chip type equity investments, the more risk averse, the more that is allocated toward fixed income with a moderate duration. Growth: The objective of a growth strategy is to

increase the value of your investment over time while recognizing a high likelihood of volatility. Aggressive Growth: The objective of an aggressive growth

strategy is above average capital appreciation by investing in issues that may generally be more volatile than the overall market. Risk of capital loss is high in this category. Speculation: A speculator’s objective is to assume a higher risk of loss in anticipation of potentially higher-than-average gain by taking advantage of

expected price changes.

Mutual Fund Share Class Fee, Expense, and Risk Disclosure

What is a Mutual Fund? A mutual fund is a collective investment vehicle managed by a professional investment company that pools money from many people and invests it in stocks, bonds, or other

securities. Each investor owns shares, which represent a part of these holdings. All mutual funds will redeem (buy back) your shares on any business day. When you buy shares,

you pay the current net asset value (NAV) (the value of one share in a fund) per share, plus any sales charge (also known as a load). When you sell your shares, the fund will

pay you NAV less any other sales load. As with individual stocks, the share price of mutual funds fluctuates and the value of an investment may be more or less than its original

cost.

Mutual funds can be a great way to invest because:

- They are a collection of many stocks and/or bonds, so your investment risk is spread out

- They are managed by professional fund managers who invest the pooled money into individual securities

- Costs associated with the underlying security are often lower than what you would pay on your own because the fund buys and sells large amounts of securities at a

time

Mutual Funds and Taxes Taxes can significantly reduce the net returns on your mutual fund investment, so you should pay close attention to them.

- Some funds pay dividends on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis. Dividends are distributed to shareholders on a pro rata basis. They must be reported on your tax

return (whether reinvested or paid in cash) in the year of distribution.

- Short-term and Long-term capital gain distributions (representing the fund's net gains from securities sales) must be reported on shareholders tax returns.

- When you redeem shares of a fund, you generally must pay tax on any capital gain realized. The amount of tax to be paid on a gain depends on the rate at which

the gain is taxed (short-term or long-term), which in turn depends on how long you owned the fund shares prior to selling them.

The Costs Associated with Mutual Funds When investing in a mutual fund, you may have the opportunity to choose among several share classes, most commonly class A, class B, and class C. The differences among these

share classes typically revolve around how much you will be charged for buying the fund, when you will pay any sales charges that apply, and the amount you will pay in annual

fees and expenses. This multi-class structure offers you the opportunity to select a share class that is best suited to your investment goals and your expected investment holding

period.

Mutual funds have costs that are passed on to investors. It's important for you to understand what the different costs are, s ince these are usually deducted from the money you've

invested and can affect the return of your investment over time.

Typically, mutual fund costs consist of sales charges and annual expenses. The sales charge or load, is deducted from your investment when you buy the fund, or when you sell it.

The annual expenses cover the fund's operating costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees (commonly known as 12b-1 fees), and general administrative

expenses. They are generally computed as a percentage of your assets and then deducted from the fund before the fund's returns are calculated. (To better understand what these

charges are, you should review the Fees and Expenses section of the fund's prospectus.)

So which share class should you choose? That answer depends on multiple factors, including how much you want to invest and your investment time horizon.

Class A shares Class A shares may appeal to you if you're considering a long-term investment. When you purchase class A shares, a sales charge, called a front-end load, is typically deducted

upfront, thus reducing the actual amount of your initial investment. For example, suppose if you decide to invest $35,000 in class A shares with a hypothetical front-end sales load

of 5.0 percent. You will be charged $1,750 on your purchase, and the remaining $33,250 will be invested. However, class A shares offer you discounts called breakpoints, on the

front-end load if you buy shares in excess of a certain dollar amount. Typically, a fund will offer several breakpoints, so the more you invest the greater the reduction in the sales

load. For example, let's say that a mutual fund charges a load of 5.0 percent if you invest less than $50,000, but reduces that load to 4.50 percent if you invest at least

$50,000 but less than $100,000. This means that if you invest $49,000, you'll pay $2,450 in sales charges, but if you invest $50,000 (i.e., you reach the first breakpoint), you'll

pay only $2,250 in sales charges. You may also qualify for breakpoint discounts by signing a letter of intent and agreeing to purchase additional shares within a certain period of

time (generally 13 months), or by combining your current purchase with other investment holdings that you or your spouse and children have within the same fund or family of

funds (called a right of accumulation). Since rules vary, read your fund's prospectus to find out how you may qualify for available breakpoint discounts, or contact your financial

consultant for more information. Class A shares tend to have lower total annual expenses due to lower 12b-1 fees than either C share or even B share mutual funds, thus reducing

your overall costs over time. This may make class A shares more attractive to you if you wish to hold on to the fund for a longer period of time.

L.M. KOHN & COMPANY BROKERAGE AND INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

Class B Shares When you purchase class B shares you are putting 100% of your investment to work immediately since there is no front-end sales charge as in the A shares, however there might

be significantly higher costs associated with this share class. The first cost to note is the higher annual ongoing 12b-1 expenses. The second concern with this share class is the

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC). Most B share mutual funds have a 7 year holding period before the expiration of any CDSC which can be as high as 6.0 percent. If you

were to redeem shares prior to the end of the stated CDSC period, you would be subject to a fee imposed by the fund. In many cases B share mutual funds convert to the lower

annual expense class A shares after the expiration of the CDSC. In essence B shares lock your money up for a 7 year period (some mutual funds have different CDSC periods. )

This share class may be more suitable for investors who typically hold their investment positions for 7 or more years and do not qualify for a breakpoint.

Class C shares When you purchase class C shares, a front-end load is normally not imposed. There is a CDSC charge, typically 1.0 percent, that is reduced to zero if you hold the shares beyond

the CDSC period, which for class C shares is typically 12 months. For those reasons class C shares may be appropriate if you intend to keep the fund for less than 5 years. The

12b-1 fees are greater for class C shares than for class A shares. The expenses will not decrease during the life of the investment, because some C class shares don't convert to

class A shares. In addition, there are no breakpoints available for large purchases.

Risk & Past Performance Because each fund pursues its own unique investment objectives, each fund has its own set of risks. While equity funds invest principally in common stocks and other equity

securities and the fixed income funds invest principally in bonds and other fixed income securities, in order to achieve their investment objectives, the funds may at times use

certain types of investment derivatives, such as options, futures, forwards and swaps. These instruments involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than, the risks

presented by more traditional investments. For funds that can invest in foreign securities, which may include emerging market s securities, risks may be magnified due to changes in

foreign exchange rates and the possibility of substantial volatility due to political and economic uncertainties in foreign countries. Funds that invest substantially all of their assets

in foreign securities include risks not associated with funds that invest primarily in U.S. issues. Because those funds will invest in foreign currency denominated securities,

fluctuations may be magnified by changes in foreign exchange rates. These risks are fully discussed in each fund's prospectus .

- Each mutual fund has a prospectus and other literature that describe the fund's objective, how it plans to achieve that objective, and the fund's style of investing. The

prospectus also discloses important specific details about the fund that you should be aware of, including allowable investments, fund costs, past performance, risks, and

financial statements. Always read a fund's prospectus before investing.

- For further information on mutual fund classes, log on to the website of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) at www.finra.org. You can also find

information on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at www.sec.gov.

- As you consider how best to invest in mutual funds, keep in mind that there is no guarantee any mutual fund will achieve its investment objective. You should discuss

all of your investment goals with your financial consultant. Mutual funds are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other government agency. You can lose

money investing in mutual funds.

- Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than past performance. The investment return and principal value of

an investment in the fund will fluctuate as the prices of the individual securities in which it invests fluctuate, so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or

less than their original cost. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing

Business Continuity Planning Statement

L. M. Kohn & Company maintains important disaster recovery and business continuity plans that may be activated in the

event of a significant business disruption. The firm realizes the critical nature of being able to continue material operations

if an incident occurs that could affect mission-critical business units and systems. These plans are key components in

maintaining emergency procedures, and are required by securities industry regulations.

of disruptions by resuming mission-critical operation, usually within the same business day as the disruption. To assist this

business continuity, the firm maintains back-up technology processing capabilities in alternate locations. In cases of an

extreme disruption, where the continuation of business may not be practical or in the best interest of the firm or its clients,

L.M. Kohn & Company has implemented steps necessary to allow clients prompt access to their funds and securities.

However, clients should be aware that because the firm’s plans contain details of a confidential and proprietary nature, they

cannot be distributed to the public. Clients should also note that L.M. Kohn & Company’s business continuity plan is

Fees and Costs. Fees and costs affect the value of your account over time. Please ask your financial professional to

give you personalized information on the fees and costs that you will pay.

• Transaction‐based fees. You will pay us a fee every time you buy or sell an investment. This fee, commonly referred to as a

commission, is based on the specific transaction and not the value of your account.

• With stocks, options, preferred shares, or exchange‐traded funds, this fee is typically considered a separate agency commission.

With other investments, such as Municipal, Corporate, Brokered Certificates of Deposit, US Government Treasury or Agency

bonds, this fee might be part of the price you pay for the investment (called a “mark-up” ) or the amount on a sale of such

investments (a “mark-down”). With Unit investment Trusts the purchase price includes a sales charge included in the offering

price. Mutual funds offer selling brokers a commission. This commission can be in the form of a front-end sales charge or a

level load commission. A front-end sales charge is added to the fund’s net asset value or public offering price. A level load

commission is paid out of higher annual expenses of the mutual fund invested in and is included in the net asset value.

• Class A shares may appeal to you if you're considering a long-term investment. When you purchase class A shares, a sales

charge, called a front-end load, is typically deducted upfront, thus reducing the actual amount of your initial investment. For

example, suppose if you decide to invest $35,000 in class A shares with a hypothetical front-end sales load of 5.0 percent. You

will be charged $1,750 on your purchase, and the remaining $33,250 will be invested. However, class A shares offer you

discounts called breakpoints, on the front-end load if you buy shares in excess of a certain dollar amount. Typically, a fund will

offer several breakpoints, so the more you invest the greater the reduction in the sales load. For example, let's say that a mutual

fund charges a load of 5.0 percent if you invest less than $50,000, but reduces that load to 4.50 percent if you invest at least

$50,000 but less than $100,000. This means that if you invest $49,000, you'll pay $2,450 in sales charges, but if you invest

$50,000 (i.e., you reach the first breakpoint), you'll pay only $2,250 in sales charges. You may also qualify for breakpoint

discounts by signing a letter of intent and agreeing to purchase additional shares within a certain period of time (generally 13

months), or by combining your current purchase with other investment holdings that you or your spouse and children have within

the life of the investment, because C class shares generally don't convert to class A shares ( there are a few fund families that

automatically convert C shares into A shares after an extended holding period). In addition, there are no breakpoints available

for large purchases. Because of the higher annual expenses C shares may be suitable if you are planning on holding the

investment for less than 7 years or if you do not want to pay an upfront sales charge on your investment as you would with an A

share. In most instances a C share is more suitable than B shares. A shares maybe more suitable than C shares if you know you

are going to have a long term holding period of your mutual purchase.

holding periods of different shares classes of the same mutual fund. You may also go directly to FINRA’s website,

www.finra.org and select Tools & Calculators or go to https://tools.finra.org/fund_analyzer/ where you can do the same

comparisons.

• Some investments (such as mutual funds and variable annuities) impose additional fees that will reduce the value of your

investment over time. Also, with certain investments such as variable annuities, you may have to pay fees such as “surrender

charges” to sell the investment.

• Our fees may vary. The amount you pay will depend, for example, on how much you buy or sell, what type of investment you

buy or sell, and what kind of account you have with us.

• Our clearing firm RBC Correspondent Services LLC may charge you additional fees, such as custodian fees, account

maintenance fees, and account inactivity fees.

• The more transactions in your account, the more fees we charge you. We therefore have an incentive to encourage you to engage

in transactions.

• From a cost perspective, you may prefer a transaction‐based fee if you do not trade often or if you plan to buy and hold

investments for longer periods of time.

For Fixed Income Transactions (CDs, US Government Agency, Corporate or Municipal bonds)

The minimum charge is $25 per transaction. For new issue securities (primary market), in syndicate, the markup is predetermined

by the underwriter and the issuer. These commission mark ups are stated in the prospectus or official statement. For principal

transactions in the secondary market where the commission is “marked up” or “marked down” from the base price, in no instance

will the mark up or mark down exceed 4% of the principal transaction.

For agency transactions in fixed income securities commission charges will be no higher than $30.00 per bond.

For pricing history and volume information for taxable fixed income securities investors may look up the FINRA website:

www.finra-markets.morningstar.com/MarketData/Default.jsp?sdkVersion=2.52.0

For pricing and volume history for municipal bonds investors can go to the MSRB website: www.emma.msrb.org

For Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) Transactions

These investment products are sold by prospectus and have a sales charge that investors pay which is included in the public

offering price. UITs are intended to be bought and held to maturity, they are not well suited as a trading vehicle. The UIT sponsor

determines the sales charge paid by investors at the public offering price. Reduced sales charges are breakpoint eligible, meaning

the more money that is invested at predetermined investment levels the sales charge may be lowered by the sponsor (not our firm

nor our registered representative)are available on the reinvestment of a UIT in a new UIT by the same sponsor. For more

information on UITs you may go to the website: https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/glossary/unit-

investment-trusts-uits

Additional Note

For any investment not sold by prospectus, the firm has authorized your registered representative to offer discounts on

commissions charged. Such discounts could be determined based on the frequency of investment activity, the size of the

transactions, the overall relationship with the customer, potential new business from the customer as well as competitive pricing

based on the competition in the full service brokerage segment. Your registered representative also has the ability to charge a

fixed dollar commission on trades, which may or may not depend on the size of the transaction.

Conflicts of Interest. We benefit from the services we provide to you.

• We can make money from transaction fees being charged; therefore, the firm may have an incentive to encourage you to trade

more frequently.

• We may have an incentive, when charging commissions, to offer products that may have commissions or front-end sales charges

or higher ongoing trail commissions (12b-1 fees) that cost more and therefore result in you being charged more.

• We may receive trailing or ongoing commissions (12-b1 fees) by selling certain products such as mutual funds and variable

annuities; therefore, we may have an incentive to sell these products over other potentially more suitable products.

• We may have a conflict of interest in recommending a sale of a mutual fund share class prior to it converting to a lower expense

share class in the same mutual fund family.

• We may have a conflict of interest recommending that you sell out of an investment before it matures to make a new investment

with those same funds.

• We may have a conflict of interest in recommending 1035 exchanges on an annuity product once it has gone out of its surrender

period.

• We may have a conflict of interest in recommending multiple mutual funds from different mutual fund families; therefore, not

taking full advantage of reduced sales charges through breakpoints.

• We may have a conflict of interest in recommending that you sell securities for “tax loss” harvesting before there are any capital

gains to offset

Additional Disclosure Document – In addition to disclosures made at the time of recommendation, we have our additional disclosure document available on our website at www.lmkohnandco.com.

Business Continuity Plan – L.M. Kohn & Company (the “Firm”) is committed to protecting our employees, clients and their assets at all times, including in times of emergency. As part of this commitment, and in compliance with internal management policy and industry regulations (FINRA, NFA, et al), the Firm maintains a business continuity plan (the Plan). The Plan provides for sustainable operating environments during any crisis/incident or major business interruption that adversely impacts the Firm’s ability to conduct business. The Plan addresses various scenarios including but not limited to a departmental disruption, building, city-wide or regional disruption, or a pandemic incident. Because the Plan contains details of a confidential and proprietary nature, it is not distributed to the public.

Client account information sent by email

We will send client account information securely through a system called ShareFile, a Citrix based system that requires the

recipient to enter information to verify that they are the correct recipient of the information.

Client personal information stored in third party cloud or web-based systems

L.M. Kohn & Company (the “Firm”) does not use a centralized network outside of the home office. Each branch office or associated person may hire third party

vendors to manage client data which may include personal identifying information and account information. In the event that a branch office or associated person

terminates or is terminated from the Firm, then the Firm will make an immediate effort to remove access privileges from networks and systems containing access to

sensitive client data. The Firm requires that associated persons disclose the use of third party vendors including Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

systems that might house some of this data. Although these systems are purchased independently from the Firm, the Firm maintains administrator access with CRM

systems utilized by associated persons. This allows the ability to shut off access to these systems in the event an associated person is terminated. However, it is

possible for a gap in timing to occur which allows an associated person to have access to these systems after they have been terminated. This means that a

terminated associated person(s) could download or export sensitive client data either shortly before they terminate from the Firm, or shortly after they have been

terminated from the Firm. The Firm makes every effort to remove access in a timely manner, and the removal of data belonging to the Firm is strictly prohibited.

The Firm will take all necessary precautions to try and prevent sensitive information and client account information from being extracted outside of networks

controlled by the Firm.
