Item 5 – Fees and Compensation

The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for services provided by the
Advisor. Each Client engaging the Advisor for services described herein shall be required to enter into a written
agreement with the Advisor.

A. Fees for Advisory Services
Wealth Management Services
For Clients engaged for comprehensive wealth management services, the Client will be charged a single
combined fee for investment management and financial planning services based on the market value of assets
under management as reflected below.

Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, at the end of each calendar quarter, pursuant to the terms of the
investment advisory agreement. Investment advisory fees are based on the market value of assets under
management at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Investment advisory fees are based on the following
blended fee schedule:

                              Assets Under Management                  Annual Rate (%)
                              $500,000 to $1,000,000                       0.75%
                              $1,000,0001 to $2,000,000                    0.65%
                              Over $2,000,000                              0.55%

Investment advisory fees range from 0.55% to 0.75% annually. Fee’s may be adjusted at the discretion of the
Advisor based on several factors, including: the complexity of the services to be provided, the level of assets to be
managed, and the overall relationship with the Advisor. Relationships with multiple objectives, specific reporting
requirements, portfolio restrictions and other complexities may be charged a higher fee.

The investment advisory fee in the first quarter of service is prorated from the inception date of the account[s] to
the end of the first quarter. Fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The Client’s fees will take
into consideration the aggregate assets under management with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts
managed by AWM will be independently valued by the Custodian. AWM will conduct periodic reviews of the
Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.

The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to, brokerage fees, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses, which may be incurred by the Client. However, the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these
commissions, fees, and costs.

Financial Planning Services
AWM offers financial planning services, without availing wealth management services, for a fixed fee ranging from
$500 to $5,000. Fees may be negotiable based on the on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided
and the overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total costs will be determined prior to engaging for
these services.

Use of Independent Managers
As noted in Item 4, the Advisor may implement all or a portion of a Client’s investment portfolio utilizing one or
more Independent Managers. To eliminate any conflict of interest, the Advisor does not earn any compensation
from an Independent Manager. The Advisor will only earn its investment advisory fee as described above.
Independent Managers will not typically offer any fee discounts, but may have a breakpoint schedule which will
reduce the fee with an increased level of assets placed under management with an Independent Manager. The
terms of such fee arrangements are included in the Independent Manager’s disclosure brochure and applicable
contract[s] with the Independent Manager. The total blended fee, including the Advisor’s fee and the Independent
Manager’s fee will not exceed 2.00% annually.

B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees are calculated by the Advisor or its delegate and deducted from the Client’s account[s] at
the Custodian. The Advisor or its delegate shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees
to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the respective quarter end date. The amount due is calculated by
applying the daily average balance (sum of the daily AUM balance of the billing period divided by days in the billing
period) multiplied by the product of the annual rate and the billing period factor (number of days in the billing quarter
by divided by the total number of days in a year (365)) at the end of each quarter. Clients will be provided with a
statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting deduction of the investment advisory fee. In addition, the
Advisor will provide the Client a report itemizing the fee, including the calculation period covered by the fee, the
account value and the methodology used to calculate the fee. Clients are urged to also review and compare the
statement provided by the Advisor to the brokerage statement from the Custodian, as the Custodian does not
perform a verification of fees. Clients provide written authorization permitting advisory fees to be deducted by AWM
directly from their account[s] held by the Custodian as part of the investment advisory agreement and separate
account forms provided by the Custodian.

Financial Planning Services
Financial planning fees are invoiced and due upon completion of the agreed upon deliverable[s].

Use of Independent Managers
For Client accounts implemented through an Independent Manager, the Client’s overall fees may include AWM’s
investment advisory fee (as noted above) plus investment management fees and/or platform fees charged by the
Independent Manager[s], as applicable. In certain instances, the Independent Manager or the Advisor may

Item 7 – Types of Clients

AWM offers investment advisory services to individuals and high net worth individuals. The amount of each type
of Client is available on the Advisor's Form ADV Part 1A. These amounts may change over time and are updated
at least annually by the Advisor. AWM generally requires a minimum relationship size of $500,000, which may be
reduced at the sole discretion of the Advisor.
