Item 5: Fees and Compensation

brochure). The trading costs are typically absorbed by the firm and/or the investment
representative. If a client’s account holds A-Shares within a wrap fee program, the firm and/or its
investment adviser representative avoids paying the transaction fees charged by other mutual
fund classes, which in effect decreases the firm’s costs and increases its revenues from the
account. Effectively, the cost is transferred to the client from the firm in the form of a lower rate
of return on the specific mutual fund. This creates an incentive for the firm or investment adviser
representative to utilize such funds as opposed to those funds that may be equally appropriate
for a client but do not carry the additional cost of 12b-1 fees. As a policy matter, the firm avoids
using funds that impose 12b-1 or revenue sharing fees on the client’s investment within a wrap
fee program. Clients should understand and discuss with their investment adviser representative
the types of mutual fund share classes available in the wrap fee program and the basis for using
one share class over another in accordance with their individual circumstances and priorities.
