               Procedure
               CIS has adopted various procedures to implement the firm’s policy and reviews to monitor and ensure the firm’s
               disclosure document policy is observed, implemented properly and amended or updated, as appropriate, which
               include the following:

               1. Initial Delivery
                   •   A representative of CIS will provide a copy of the firm’s current Disclosure Document, which may include a
                       wrap fee brochure, to each prospective client either: at the time of entering into an advisory agreement
                       with a client; or, not less than 48 hours prior to entering into an advisory agreement with a client. The IAR
                       ADV 2B brochure will be delivered to the client prior to contracting with CIS.
                   •   CIS will maintain a document or acknowledgement evidencing delivery of the Disclosure Document to
                       each client.
                   •   The Compliance Officer will maintain dated copies of all CIS's complete Disclosure Documents so as to be
                       able to identify which Disclosure Document was in use at any time.

               2. Annual Offer/Delivery
               CIS will provide annually a copy of the ADV 2A to all current advisory clients.
               CIS will maintain an “Annual Offer File” for each calendar year which will include:
                       1. a sample copy of the Annual Offer,
                       2. a copy of the Disclosure Document offered to clients for the particular year,
                       3. a list of the names and addresses of the clients to whom CIS sent a
                       Form ADV 2A,
                       4. copies of CIS's letters to clients sending the Disclosure Document.

               3. Review and Amendment
                   •   The  designated  officer  will  review  the  firm’s  complete  Disclosure  Document  on  a  periodic  basis  to
                       maintain  the  Disclosure  Document  on  a  current  and  accurate  basis  and  to  properly  reflect  and  be
                       consistent with the firm’s current services, business practices, fees, investment professionals, affiliations
                       and conflicts of interest, among other things.
                   •   When  changes  or  updates  to  the  Disclosure  Document  are  necessary  or  appropriate,  the  designated
                       officer will make any and all disclosure document amendments timely and promptly and maintain records
                       of the filings and amendments.

               ADV PART 2B Firm Brochure Supplement
                   •   CIS must update brochure supplements promptly whenever any information in them becomes materially
                       inaccurate.
                   •   CIS may deliver supplements electronically. If CIS delivers a supplement electronically, CIS may disclose
                       in that supplement that the supervised person has a disciplinary event and provide a hyperlink to either
                       the BrokerCheck (www.finra.org/Investors/ToolsCalculators/BrokerCheck) or the IAPD
                       (www.adviserinfo.sec.gov) systems.

                   •   If CIS is registered or is registering with one or more state securities authorities, CIS must file through
                       IARD a copy of the brochure supplement for each supervised person doing business in that state.

               ADV Update Requirements
