Generally,BuckheadCapitalselectsbroker‐dealersthroughwhichtoeffecttransactionsonthebasisofbestexecution. “Bestexecution”doesnotmeaneffecting transactionsat thelowest possible commission rate, transaction costs, and price, but includes a number offactorsmentionedherein.

In selecting broker‐dealers (including electronic communications networks) to effectclients’ transactions, Buckhead Capital seeks to obtain best execution under thecircumstances,takingintoconsideration,amongothers,thebroker‐dealers’:

ResearchandBrokerageServices

WrapFeePrograms

BuckheadCapitalManagement isamanager in“wrap fee”programsaswellasprovidinginvestmentadvice toseparatelymanagedaccounts. Asamanager inwrap feeprograms,the Company usually effects client transactions through the clients’ sponsoring firm.Accordinglysuchwrap feeprogram industrypracticesmaycreate tradeexecution issuesfor clients in wrap fee programs because these transactions are effected through theclients’sponsor.

As customary in the industry, transactions in wrap fee accounts are generally effectedwithout commission, because the wrap fee covers the wrap fee sponsor, advisers andbrokerage services. BecauseBuckheadCapitalManagementmaybe required to executetransactionsonlywiththebroker‐dealerselectedbytheclientorbythewrapsponsor,theFirmmaynotbeabletoplacetransactionswithotherbroker‐dealersthatmaybeabletoexecute transactions atmore favorable prices andmay not be able to obtain discountedcommissionsfortheclientbycombininghisorhertransactionswiththoseofotherclientstradingasablock;therefore,theseclientsmaynotnecessarilyobtaincommissionratesasfavorable as those obtained by other Buckhead Capital Management clients. Therefore,performance of accounts in wrap programs may differ from that of the non‐wrapsponsoredaccounts.

Clientsshouldconducttheirownduediligencetoassurethemselvesthatthebroker‐dealerofferingthewrapprogramisabletoprovidecompetitiveexecutionandcommissionrateson transactions compared to thatwhichBuckheadCapitalmayhaveobtainedotherwise.Clientsshouldalsoconsiderthat,dependinguponthelevelofthefeechargedbythewrapsponsoror thebroker‐dealer, theamountofportfolio activity in the clients’ account, thevalueofcustodialandotherserviceswhichareprovidedunderthearrangement,andotherfactors, thewrapfeethattheypaymayexceedtheaggregatecostofsuchservicesif theyweretobeprovidedseparately.

DirectedBrokerage

BuckheadCapitalManagement,atitsdiscretion,mayacceptaclient’sdirectiontoutilizeaspecific broker or dealer to execute transactions in the client’s account in recognition ofcustodial or other services provided to the client by the broker or dealer. A clientwhochooses to designate use of a particular broker or dealer should considerwhether suchdesignationmay result in certain costs or disadvantages to the client, because the clientmaypayhighercommissionsonsometransactionsthanmightotherwisebeattainablebytheCompany.

BuckheadCapitalgenerallywillutilize“step‐outs”forclientsthatdirectbrokerageinorderforthemtoreceivethesameexecutionasclientsthatdonotdirectbrokerage.Inastep‐outtrade, an investment advisor directs trades to a broker‐dealer that executes thetransaction,whileasecondbroker‐dealer(i.e., thedirectedbroker)clearsandsettlesthetransactionattheclient’snegotiatedcommissionstructure.

BydirectingBuckheadCapitalManagementtouseaspecificbrokerordealer,clientswhoaresubjecttoERISAconfirmandagreeintheircontractswiththeCompanythattheyhavethe authority tomake such direction; that there are no provisions in any client or plandocumentwhichare inconsistentwith thedirection; that thebrokerageandothergoodsand services provided by the broker or dealer through the brokerage transactions areprovided solely to and for the benefit of the client’s plan, plan participants, and theirbeneficiaries; that the amount paid for the brokerage and other services have beendetermined by the client and the plan to be reasonable; that any expenses paid by thebrokeronbehalfof theplanareexpenses that theplanwouldotherwisebeobligated topay;andthatthespecificbrokerordealerisnotapartyininterestoftheclientortheplanasdefinedunderapplicableERISAregulations.

RotationMethodology

The participation of Buckhead Capital Management in wrap fee programs and thewillingness to accept brokerage direction from a clientmean that it is possible that thefirm’sorderstobuyandsellaparticularsecuritycouldbecompetinginthemarketasthesametradeisexecutedacrossundirected,directedandwrapaccounts.Inordertoaddressthese trade execution issues, Buckhead Capital generally uses a rotational approach toavoidclientaccountscompetinginthemarketplace.Transactionsaregenerallyeffectedasfollows:

The opportunity to trade first will generally rotate between separately managedaccountsasagroupandwrapfeeaccountsasagroup.

Within the separately managed accounts, non‐directed separately managedaccountsanddirectedseparatelymanagedaccountswillrotateasagroup.

Within the wrap fee accounts, each sponsoring wrap fee sponsor with the sameinvestmentstrategywillrotate.

BuckheadCapitalbelievesthatsuchrotationmethodologyisfairandequitabletoclients.

TradeErrors

Fromtime‐to‐time,BuckheadCapitalmaycauseatradeerrortooccur.Forexample,tradeerrorsmayhappenasaresultofeffectingtheincorrectamountofsecurities(e.g.,10,000shares were purchasedwhen the intentionwas to purchase 1,000 shares), transactionswere effected in thewrong client account, the orderwas to buy shares but sharesweresold,andforotherreasons.Whentradeerrorsoccur,theCompany’spolicyistocorrecttheerrorpromptly. IntheeventthattheCompanycausedtheerror,theCompanywillmakethe client whole for the loss unless the equities of the situation may cause an unjustenrichment for the client. If the client caused the error (e.g., the client advised theCompanythatacertainamountoffundswouldbewiredtotheaccountonacertaindaybutasubstantiallysmalleramountwaswiredor the fundswerenotwiredandtheCompanyactedupon the client’s advice), the clientwillbear theerror. If a third‐partycaused theerror (e.g., the Company properly gave trade instructions to a broker‐dealer but thebroker‐dealerexecuted theorder incorrectly),BuckheadCapitalwill takesteps tocollectfrom the third‐party the amount of the error; however, there is no guarantee that theCompanywillbesuccessfulrecuperatingsuchfundsinwhichcasetheclientwillbeartheloss.

PrincipalandAgencyCross‐Transactions

“Principal transactions”aregenerallydefinedas transactionswhereanadviser, actingasprincipal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker‐dealer, buys from orsells any security to any advisory client.
