Investment Discretion. Upon receiving written authorization from the client in our standard client agreement, Creative Planning provides discretionary investment advisory services for client accounts. When discretionary authority is granted, we will have the authority to determine the type of securities and the amount of securities that can be bought or sold for the client portfolio without obtaining the client’s consent for each transaction. We may elect to purchase bonds through bond brokers in order to obtain a better price for the client and then have the bonds delivered into the client's brokerage account. This practice is called "trading away". This is the only case in which we select a broker to be used without specific client consent. The client’s primary broker/dealer-custodian typically charges the client a transaction fee for "trading away" through other brokers. For clients for whom a Sub-Advisor has been engaged, the Sub-Advisor will have discretionary authority to buy, sell, exchange, and otherwise trade securities within the client account. The investment strategies of the Sub- Advisor will be disclosed in their Disclosure Brochure (ADV Part 2A). In limited situations, a client will be allowed to grant trading authorization on a non-discretionary basis. In these cases, we will be required to contact you prior to implementing changes in your account. Therefore, you will be contacted and required to accept or reject our investment recommendations including: • The security being recommended • The number of shares or units • Whether to buy or sell Once the above factors are agreed upon, we will be responsible for making decisions regarding the timing of buying or selling an investment and the price at which the investment is bought or sold. If your accounts are managed on a non-discretionary basis, you need to know that if you are not able to be reached or are slow to respond to our request, it can have an adverse impact on the timing of trade implementations and we may not achieve an optimal trading price. With respect to our Retirement Plan Services, described above, Creative Planning, at the request of a plan sponsor (or plan participant in the case of managed asset allocation models), may be granted limited discretionary authority to select and replace investment alternatives for the plan (or to allocate, reallocate and rebalance model portfolios for plan participants). When such plans are covered by Title I of ERISA, Creative Planning has agreed to provide such...

In all cases, discretion is exercised in a manner consistent with the stated investment objectives, guidelines, or limitations previously provided by the Client and agreed to by EFI. It is the Client’s responsibility to advise EFI of any changes in the Client’s inves...
