The asset allocation also incorporates cash and cash-like instruments in its portfolios. Retail Wealth Management Program clients generally engage ZIM through a ZIM Investment Consultant (“IC”) or Regional Vice President (“RVP”) (collectively, “ZIM Investment Consultants”), or directly (e.g., Zacks Services Direct program). Please refer to Fees and Compensation, Review of Accounts, and Client Referrals and Other Compensation sections below for more information about Zacks Services Direct and ZIM’s Investment Consultants. For many Retail Wealth Management clients, ZIM sponsors programs where Schwab, Folio, and/or Fidelity provide trading and custody services to clients that direct brokerage and custody services, and ZIM provides advisory services to clients (individually a “ZIM Wrap Program” and collectively the “ZIM Wrap Programs”). Clients in these programs sponsored by ZIM receive Appendix 1 of Form ADV Part 2A and should refer to Appendix 1 for more information. Adviser also manages investment advisory accounts on a discretionary basis under “alternative investments” strategies. This program offers clients an alternative approach to investments and includes the following two strategies: “Zacks Strategies II, LP”, and the “Zacks Panther Fund”. The minimum account that will be accepted is $500,000. The typical management fee is 1% and where applicable a performance incentive fee of 20% of the total return above the high-water mark is charged quarterly. The Adviser may utilize the services of various unaffiliated firms for assistance in providing advice to clients that request financial planning assistance. Financial planning activities may result in the subsequent management of client assets by the Advisor for which it may receive advisory fees from the client. Adviser serves as a portfolio manager in a number of wrap fee and UMA programs sponsored by unaffiliated third-parties. With limited exceptions (i.e., Zacks Advantage), management of wrap and UMA accounts sponsored by unaffiliated third-parties are generally viewed by Adviser as part of its wholesale business. The list of programs includes, but is not necessarily limited to: (i) Wells Fargo & Company’s DMA, Master & Private Adviser Network; (ii) UBS Mac Platform Program; (iii) Charles Schwab Access & Managed Account Select; (iv) Morgan Stanley’s Vision & Select UMAs; (v) Merrill Lynch’s Merrill One (vi) LPL Manager Select Program; (vii) Janney Montgomery Partners Advisory Account/Advisors Account Program; (viii) Fidelity SAN Program; (ix) Envestnet UMA; (x) Lockwood UMA; (xi) Raymond James OMS; and (xii) Zacks Advantage - Schwab Wealth Investment Advisory, Inc. Institutional Intelligent Portfolios, (xiii) Wells Fargo Private Advisor Network, Masters & PUMA, (xiv) UBS Managed Account Consulting. Wrap fee programs are arrangements in which investment

advisory services, brokerage execution services and custody are provided by a sponsor for a single predetermined "wrap" fee (regardless of the number of trades completed by a client). Generally, clients participating in a wrap fee program (“Wrap Program Clients”) pay this single, all-inclusive fee quarterly in advance or arrears to the program sponsor, based on the net assets under management. Adviser receives from the program sponsor a portion of the wrap fee for the portfolio management services it provides. Each program sponsor is required to prepare and deliver a brochure which contains detailed information about its wrap fee program, including the wrap fee charged. Copies of each brochure are available from the program sponsor upon request. Each wrap program sponsor has retained Adviser through a separate investment advisory contract. In limited cases, a participant in a Wrap Program has dual agreements, one agreement with the Wrap Program sponsor and an agreement with Adviser. Wrap Program Clients should note that Adviser will execute transactions for their accounts through the Wrap Sponsor. Transactions executed through a Wrap Sponsor may be less favorable in some respects than Adviser’s clients whose trades are not executed through the Wrap Sponsor. This is because Adviser may have no ability to negotiate price or take advantage of combined orders or volume discounts. Adviser may be constrained in obtaining best execution for Wrap Program Clients by sending trades to the Wrap Sponsor. Adviser also offers an online investment advisory program (“Zacks Advantage”) in conjunction with Schwab Intelligent Portfolios® (“SIP”) and sponsored by Schwab Wealth Investment Advisory, Inc. (“SWIA”). The Zacks Advantage program uses automated investing to create a diversified portfolio composed of Charles Schwab sponsored exchange-traded funds (ETFs), as well as an FDIC-insured cash allocation (the “Cash Allocation”) that is based on the client’s stated investment objectives and risk tolerance. Zacks Advantage is designed to monitor a client’s portfolio daily and will also automatically rebalance as needed to keep a client’s portfolio consistent with their selected risk profile. Adviser has a number of wholesale arrangements where it provides model portfolio investment recommendations without brokerage execution or additional services. Adviser's fees for these services are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. This type of client account is not managed by Adviser; the client may be notified of changes to Adviser’s model portfolio after Adviser’s discretionary client accounts have traded. The client may or may not use the information received from Adviser in making investment decisions. Adviser is hired by clients to manage assets according to a specific investment strategy (or strategies) based on the client’s investment objectives and the philosophy, process, and investment performance of the strategy. Clients may impose reasonable mandates or restrictions, such as positions limits or avoiding certain securities or types of securities.
