Ask your financial professional - • Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Should I choose a brokerage service? Should I choose both types of services? Why or why not? • How will you choose investments to recommend to me? • What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education and other qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?

What fees will I pay? The fees and costs you pay depend on whether you choose brokerage or advisory services or both. A comparison of the principal fees and costs of both services is provided below. Advisory Services Fees and Costs Brokerage Services Fees and Costs The principal cost of our advisory services is an advisory The principal costs of our brokerage services are the fees fee. The advisory fee varies and depends upon the you pay when we buy or sell investments for you advisory service you select. (“transaction-based fees”). For certain investments, you will also indirectly pay us ongoing commissions or fees For advisory programs, you will typically pay an ongoing (“trail fees”). Those fees vary and depend on the program fee based on a percentage of the value of investment, the size of the trade, and whether we act as assets in your program account (an “asset-based fee”). “agent” or “principal” when placing your trade. When We provide most advisory programs on a “wrap” fee we act as agent, we buy and sell investments for you basis. This means that, in addition to advisory services, using third-party broker-dealers or an exchange or other we also provide you with non-advisory services, such as marketplace. When we act as principal, we buy trade execution, custody of your investments and other investments from you and sell investments to you for account services for a single program or “wrap” fee. our own account. When we act as your agent, you will Because our “wrap” fee includes our costs for the full pay us commissions or sales charges. For certain types of bundle of services we provide, it is generally higher than investments, such as equity securities and ETFs, the what an advisory fee would be that only covers advisory transaction-based fees are typically up-front services. If your advisory program involves the use of a commissions that are determined by our commission manager (other than your Baird Financial Advisor or our schedule. For certain other investments, such as mutual Private Home Office), you will pay funds, UITs and annuities, we will receive commissions an additional asset-based fee for the services of that and sales charges disclosed in the prospectus or offering manager. For our advisory programs, we typically document for the investment. Depending upon the require clients to pay the advisory fee each quarter in investment, commissions and sales charges may be paid advance. at the time you invest, periodically over a certain period With an asset-based fee, the more assets you invest in of time, or upon the occurrence of some later event, your advisory program account, the more you will pay us such as your sale of the investment. We will also receive in fees. Asset-based fee arrangements create an trail fees on certain investments, such as mutual funds, incentive for us to encourage you to increase the assets UITs and annuities, which are disclosed in the prospectus in your advisory program account and to recommend or offering document for the investment. Trail fees are that we or our affiliates manage your account because it generally required to be paid periodically, typically is more profitable to us. However, asset-based fees do quarterly, for as long as you hold the investment and are not involve the same conflicts of interest associated based on the value of your investment.

Although our rate of compensation generally decreases as the trade size increases, we still earn more compensation as the trade size increases. We therefore have an incentive for you to trade more often and in larger amounts.

Incorporated Form CRS Page 2 Rev. 06/30/2020 Brokerage Services Fees and Costs (continued) Whether you choose an advisory or brokerage Certain investments provide us more compensation. For account, you will incur other fees and costs in instance, transaction-based fees on your purchases of addition to the advisory fees, transaction-based fees mutual funds, UITs and variable annuities tend to be and trail fees. Common examples of such fees and higher than transaction-based fees on your purchases of costs include: ongoing operating fees and expenses stocks and ETFs, which in turn are higher than the fees paid out of the assets of certain investment products on your purchases of bonds and other fixed income you own, such as mutual funds, ETFs, UITs and securities. In addition to such varying compensation annuities; certain account, administrative, wire across different types of investments, the compensation transfer, securities transfer, investment conversion, we receive may vary within the same investment interest and other similar fees and costs charged by product type, such as mutual funds.

You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. Please consult our Advisory Services Brochure, Client Relationship Details document, commission schedules and schedule of service fees and charges, which contain more specific information about the advisory fees, transaction- based fees, trail fees and other fees and costs that apply to advisory and brokerage accounts. Those documents are available on our website at bairdwealth.com/retailinvestor. Conversation Starter. Ask your financial professional - • Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?

What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations as my broker-dealer or when acting as my investment adviser? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have? When we provide you with a recommendation as your broker­dealer or act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations and investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means. Examples of Ways We and Our Affiliates Make Money and Conflicts of Interest: Proprietary Products: We and our affiliates earn Revenue Sharing: Certain third-party sponsors and additional fees, compensation and other benefits if you managers (or their affiliates) share with us the revenue invest in proprietary products that we or our affiliates they earn when you invest in certain of their investment issue, sponsor, or manage, such as mutual funds, ETFs, products (primarily mutual funds). Therefore, we have UITs, closed-end funds and private funds, than if you an incentive to recommend or to invest your assets in invested in products unrelated to us. Therefore, we have third-party products that provide us the greatest levels an incentive to recommend or to invest your assets in of such revenue sharing. our proprietary products over products unrelated to us. Third-Party Payments: We receive compensation, Principal Trading: We may buy or sell securities to you payments and other benefits from certain third-party for or from our own account. Because we earn sponsors and managers (or their affiliates) if you invest compensation (such as markups, markdowns, in their products. Therefore, we have an incentive to underwriting discounts, dealer concessions and spreads) recommend or to invest your assets in those third-party and receive other benefits in principal transactions, we products that provide us the greatest levels of such have an incentive to trade with you on a principal basis compensation, payments and other benefits. and to recommend securities that we hold in inventory.

Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated Form CRS Page 3 Rev. 06/30/2020 Conversation Starter. Ask your financial professional - • How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them? You are encouraged to consult our Advisory Services Brochure and Client Relationship Details document, which contain more specific information about the ways we make money and related conflicts of interest. Those documents are available on our website at bairdwealth.com/retailinvestor. How do your financial professionals make money? Your Baird Financial Advisor is primarily compensated on a monthly basis based upon a percentage of the Financial Advisor’s total production each month, which primarily consists of the total advisory fees and transaction-based fees paid to us by the Financial Advisor’s clients and any other fees we earn on advisory and brokerage accounts held by those clients, including trail fees paid by third parties. The percentage of the Financial Advisor’s total production actually paid to the Financial Advisor will increase as the total amount of the Financial Advisor’s production increases, meaning that, as the total amount of the Financial Advisor’s production increases, the rate and amount of compensation that we pay to the Financial Advisor also increase. Baird Financial Advisors generally also receive deferred compensation or bonuses based on various criteria, including net new assets they gather, performing certain wealth management activities, such as financial planning, and their total production levels. Baird Financial Advisors who achieve certain production thresholds are eligible for professional development conferences, business development coaching, reimbursements, awards and recognition trips to attractive destinations. Baird Financial Advisors are also eligible for bonuses for achievement of professional designations depending on a Financial Advisor’s total production level. Thus, Baird Financial Advisors have a general incentive to recommend transactions involving securities with comparatively higher commission rates, sales charges, markups/markdowns, selling concessions, sales credits, trail fees and other similar fees; recommend more frequent (and larger) trades for brokerage accounts; generate financial and other plans; and charge higher fees for advisory accounts and recommend larger investments in advisory accounts. Given the structure of Baird Financial Advisors’ compensation, they also have an incentive to recommend that you transfer your accounts to us, establish new accounts with us (including IRA rollovers) and add more money into your accounts. Baird Financial Advisors generally receive compensation for referrals to certain affiliated managers and products and for referrals to a limited number of other firms. They also generally receive non- cash compensation and other benefits from sponsors of investment products with which we do business. Such non- cash compensation and other benefits can include invitations to attend conferences or educational seminars, payment of related travel, lodging and meal expenses, reimbursement for branch and client events, and receipt of gifts and entertainment. Receipt of such compensation and benefits provides Baird Financial Advisors an incentive to favor investment products and their sponsors that provide the greatest levels of compensation and benefits. Baird Financial Advisors generally receive recruitment bonuses and/or special compensation from us when they join us from another firm that are generally based on amounts of asset gathered or transferred to us. This compensation provides Baird Financial Advisors who have left another firm additional incentive to recommend that clients of the prior firm become our clients.

Vermont: In accordance with Vermont law, we will not share information we collect about Vermont residents with companies outside of our corporate family, except as permitted by law, such as with your consent, to service your accounts or to other financial institutions with which we have joint marketing agreements. We will not share information about your creditworthiness within our corporate family except with your authorization or consent, but we may share information about our transactions or experiences with you within our corporate family without your consent.

California: In accordance with California law, we will not share information we collect about you with companies outside of Baird, unless the law allows. For example, we may share information, to service your accounts, or to provide rewards or benefits you are entitled to. We will limit sharing among our companies to the extent required by California law. We collect personally identifiable information from online customers when those customers choose to enter their personal information while using Baird’s web sites and/or online services (including mobile applications). This information includes, but is not limited to, customer names, e-mail and mailing addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers. Baird does not collect personally identifiable information from general online site visitors unless those consumers unilaterally opt to provide personally identifiable information to Baird. Baird also does not share personally identifiable information with third-party persons or entities unless authorized by the customer. If Baird’s online customers wish to change the contents of the personally identifiable information previously supplied to Baird, those customers may do so by contacting their local Baird entity branch office and requesting the change. Alternatively, some web sites and online services offered by Baird permit customers to change the contents of their personally identifiable information online. As stated above, Baird does not collect personally identifiable information about individual consumers unless those consumers choose to provide such information. We are aware that some internet browsers have incorporated Do Not Track (“DNT”) features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the web sites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because Baird does not collect personally identifiable information unless the online customer voluntarily submits it, and because of a lack of industry standard, Baird does not currently respond to DNT signals, whether on its web sites or other online services. Baird does not allow other parties to collect personally identifiable information about its online customers’ individual online activities over time or across different web sites. Baird cannot, however, guarantee protection from web-based criminal conduct that could result in the collection of an online customer’s personally identifiable information by an outside party.
