Item 11 Disclosure Information
In this Item, we ask for information about your disciplinary history and the disciplinary history of all your advisory
affiliates. We use this information to determine whether to grant your application for registration, to decide whether
to revoke your registration or to place limitations on your activities as an investment adviser, and to identify
potential problem areas to focus on during our on-site examinations. One event may result in “yes” answers to more
than one of the questions below.
Your advisory affiliates are: (1) all of your current employees (other than employees performing only clerical,
administrative, support or similar functions); (2) all of your officers, partners, or directors (or any person performing
similar functions); and (3) all persons directly or indirectly controlling you or controlled by you. If you are a
“separately identifiable department or division” (SID) of a bank, see the Glossary of Terms to determine who your
advisory affiliates are.
If you are registered or registering with the SEC or if you are an exempt reporting adviser, you may limit your
disclosure of any event listed in Item 11 to ten years following the date of the event. If you are registered or
registering with a state, you must respond to the questions as posed; you may, therefore, limit your disclosure to ten
years following the date of an event only in responding to Items 11.A.(1), 11.A.(2), 11.B.(1), 11.B.(2), 11.D.(4), and
11.H(1)(a). For purposes of calculating this ten-year period, the date of an event is the date the final order,
judgment, or decree was entered, or the date any rights of appeal from preliminary orders, judgments, or decrees
lapsed.
You must complete the appropriate Disclosure Reporting Page (“DRP”) for “yes” answers to the questions in this
Item 11.

Item 12 Small Businesses
The SEC is required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act to consider the effect of its regulations on small entities. In
order to do this, we need to determine whether you meet the definition of “small business” or “small organization”
under rule 0-7.
Answer this Item 12 only if you are registered or registering with the SEC and you indicated in response to Item
5.F.(2)(c) that you have regulatory assets under management of less than $25 million. You are not required to
answer this Item 12 if you are filing for initial registration as a state adviser, amending a current state registration, or
switching from SEC to state registration.
For purposes of this Item 12 only:
Total Assets refers to the total assets of a firm, rather than the assets managed on behalf of clients. In
determining your or another person’s total assets, you may use the total assets shown on a current balance sheet
(but use total assets reported on a consolidated balance sheet with subsidiaries included, if that amount is
larger).
Control means the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of a person,
whether through ownership of securities, by contract, or otherwise. Any person that directly or indirectly has
the right to vote 25 percent or more of the voting securities, or is entitled to 25 percent or more of the profits, of
another person is presumed to control the other person.
Yes
A. Did you have total assets of $5 million or more on the last day of your most recent
fiscal year?
If “yes,” you do not need to answer Items 12.B. and 12.C.
B. Do you:
(1) control another investment adviser that had regulatory assets under management
(calculated in response to Item 5.F.(2)(c) of Form ADV) $25 million or more on
the last day of its most recent fiscal year?
(2) control another person (other than a natural person) that had total assets of
$5 million or more on the last day of its most recent fiscal year?
C. Are you:
(1) controlled by or under common control with another investment adviser
that had regulatory assets under management (calculated in response to
Item 5.F.(2)(c) of Form ADV) of $25 million or more on the last day of
its most recent fiscal year?
