Fees for Third-Party Investment Management Services
The advisory services provided by third-party investment managers and the fees they charge for those
services are detailed in their respective disclosure brochures. Your IAR will provide you with a copy of
the brochure for each investment manager recommended to you.

The custodian employed by each third-party investment manager will send a statement to you at least
quarterly that includes the value of your investments, the advisory fee you have been charged, and how
