The SPDR® Portfolio S&P 600™ Small Cap ETF (SPSM) has been selected as the benchmark for the ASWTI Small Cap Equity Portfolio. However, the portfolio’s data inception date of 9/30/2009, including back-tested performance, precedes the inception date and availability of performance data for SPSM, which began on 7/8/2013. As a result, for the period from 9/30/2009 through 7/31/2013, benchmark performance is represented by the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR), which provides a comparable small-cap equity market proxy with sufficient historical data coverage. Beginning on 8/1/2013, benchmark performance presented herein reflects the SPDR® Portfolio S&P 600™ Small Cap ETF (SPSM).

Performance and Risk Metrics are based on hypothetical model monthly return data and reflect the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Performance is presented using the U.S. Dollar currency. Results exclude any impact of cash flows such as contributions or withdrawals, as well cash balances or reserves except those specifically held by the model portfolio. Returns are presented net of a hypothetical 1.00% asset management fee as well as a hypothetical 3% maximum wrap advisory fee that is inclusive of a A Smarter Way to Invest's asset management fees. Potential custodial, trading and administrative expenses are not included, and these hypothetical fees may not reflect actual deducted fees applicable to a client's account. Investment returns will be reduced by advisory fees and other expenses charged in the management of a client's account. Clients should carefully review applicable fees and understand how advisory fees, compounded over a number of years, reduce the value of an investment portfolio, as investment balances and potential gains on the investment balances are reduced by fees. Additional information is provided in the SEC Investors Bulletin "How Fees and Expenses Affect Your Investment Portfolio."

Performance results are considered hypothetical as the results were not actually achieved by any specific investor or client portfolio and do not reflect trading in actual accounts. Hypothetical performance is not an indicator of future or actual results and is not a guarantee or implied guarantee of future performance, returns, profit, or growth. Actual performance may differ significantly from hypothetical performance as a result of client specific circumstances, including but not limited to: deposits and withdrawals, legacy positions and excluded holdings, account size, or cash reserves. General assumptions of hypothetical returns include: dividends and other income are reinvested; trades are executed based on end-of-day security pricing; A Smarter Way to Invest would have been able to purchase the securities recommended by the models and the markets were sufficiently liquid to permit all trading. Changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the returns presented herein. Certain assumptions have been made for modeling purposes and are likely to differ from actual circumstances. No representations or warranties are made as to the reasonableness of the assumptions.

Monthly performance shown in this fact sheet is includes back-tested returns from the period of 09/30/2009 through 10/17/2025. Live model returns began on 10/18/2025 and thereafter, and are calculated using model trades that occurred in actual accounts. Back-tested and hypothetical performance is not an indicator of future actual results and is not a guarantee or implied guarantee of future performance, returns, profit, or growth. No representation is being made that any account or strategy will or is likely to achieve a performance record similar to the returns presented herein. Actual performance may differ significantly from hypothetical and back-tested performance. The risk of back-tested performance is that the strategy was retroactively applied to historical data with the benefit of hindsight and can be adjusted in order to obtain and show more favorable performance results during the relevant historical time periods. Back-tested results inherently include biases in the results, including but not limited to: hindsight bias, survivorship bias, and look-ahead bias. There is no assurance that the back-tested methodology and assumptions applied by A Smarter Way to Invest have adequately mitigated these biases, and there is no assurance that back-tested results could, or would, have simulated actual client performance during the relevant time periods.
