Fees and Compensation
Description
Arbor Investment Management bases its fees on a percentage of assets
under direct management. The firm does not charge additional fees for the
extensive financial forecasting or other advice we provide on financial matters
as advocates for our clients’ goals. The portfolio managers at Arbor
Investment Management believe these activities are an integral part of
building successful long-term relationships with our clients and provide them
as part of the entire service offering to our asset management clients.
The fee rate is dependent upon the total size of the relationship and the types
of assets managed for the client. We do not charge or receive any form of
commission based fees.
The firm’s standard management fee schedule is as follows:
Cumulative Fee Schedule
Equities Mutual Funds Fixed Income/Cash
Amount Annual Fee Amount Annual Fee Amount Annual Fee
First $500,000 1.50% All 1.00% All 0.50%
Next $1,500,000 1.25%
Remainder 1.00%
Arbor Investment Management, LLC
Arbor Investment Management, in its sole discretion, may waive a portion of
fees or charge a lesser investment advisory fee based upon certain criteria
(e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future additional
assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account
composition, negotiations with clients).
Fee Billing
Investment management fees are billed quarterly, in advance, meaning that
we invoice you at the beginning of each calendar quarter for services to be
provided during that period.
Calculation of the fee shall be based upon the combined fair market value of
Client’s accounts under management (including cash or its equivalents) as
determined by Advisor as of the date of this Agreement for the first quarterly
payment of fees, and thereafter as of the last business day of the calendar
quarter immediately preceding the calendar quarter for which the fee is
payable. The fee payable for any portion of a calendar quarter shall be
prorated. Valuations on listed securities shall be the last sale price or, if no
sale occurred, then the mean between the bid and asked price. Each Portfolio
is billed based on the asset class percentages in the Portfolio according to the
cumulative fee schedule for each asset class as detailed in the table above.
For Portfolios with multiple accounts the fee is divided pro rata across the
accounts constituting the Portfolio. Initial and subsequent cash deposits are
billed at an annual fee rate of 1%, prorated for the remainder of the calendar
quarter deposited; thereafter cash balances will be treated as a fixed income
investment subject to an annual fee rate of 1/2% as noted in the fee schedule.
The quarterly fee is deducted directly from the managed client account(s) by
the account custodian to facilitate billing. Prior to any direct billing, client
provides written authorization for direct debiting of their investment account
via signed directions to the account custodian and signing of the Arbor
Investment Management advisory agreement. When performing direct
electronic billing, in all instances, Advisor will concurrently send the qualified
custodian notice of the amount of the fee to be deducted from a client’s
account; and send the client an invoice itemizing the fee. The invoice will
detail the fee, the formula used to calculate the fee, the amount of assets
under management the fee is based on, and the period covered by the fee, in
accordance with applicable regulations. The invoice will also include the
name of the Custodian firm where the account(s) are held. Custodian will also
send client regular account statements, at least quarterly, that will display the
amount of the management fee deducted from client’s account and we
recommend and encourage Client to compare the Advisor invoice with the
fees listed in the Custodian account statements.
Arbor Investment Management, LLC
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. These transaction charges are
usually small and incidental relative to the purchase or sale of a security.
Stocks and bonds are purchased or sold through a brokerage account when
appropriate. The custodian or any broker-dealer executing trades for the
client’s account charges a commission for stock and bond trades. Mutual
Fund companies charge each fund shareholder an investment management
fee that is disclosed in the fund prospectus.
Arbor Investment Management does not receive any compensation, in any
form, from fees charged by account custodians, brokerage firms or mutual
fund companies. The firm’s interests are aligned with protecting and growing
clients’ assets; thus Arbor Investment Management portfolio managers are
motivated to efficiently minimize such fees. Please refer to the “Brokerage
Practices” section of this document for additional information.
Performance-Based Fees and Side-by-Side Management
Arbor Investment Management does not use performance-based fee
structure because of the heightened conflict of interest and therefore does not
engage in side-by-side management. |

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Methods of Analysis and Information Sources
Arbor Investment Management primarily employs fundamental analysis
techniques in the selection of investments, and when appropriate in certain
sectors or types of investments the firm may also utilize technical analysis
and/or cyclical analysis.
The main sources of information include financial newspapers and
magazines, inspections of corporate activities, research materials prepared
by others, corporate rating services, timing services, annual reports,
prospectuses, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and
company press releases.
Other sources of information that Arbor Investment Management may use
include Charles Schwab & Company's "SchwabLink" service and the Value
Line Investment Survey.
Investment Strategies
Arbor Investment Management employs a valuation-based approach to
investment selection in its efforts to strike the best balance of risk and reward
over longer time periods. The firm’s portfolio managers view an intensive
focus on valuation and fundamental analysis of each investment as critical to
avoiding short-term market fads and asset bubbles that can damage long-
term results. Using investments that meet the firm’s valuation and return
potential standards, Arbor Investment Management portfolio managers
structure a diversified portfolio of individual investments matched to the
specific financial goals and investment time horizons of the client. Portfolios
are diversified across major asset classes in line with client objectives and are
diversified globally in order to mitigate the risk exposure to any single market.
The investment strategy for a specific client is based upon the objectives
stated by the client during consultations and the financial information provided
by client on the firm’s Client Information Worksheet. The client may change
these objectives at any time.
As needed or desired for certain client accounts, the firm can employ option
writing, limited to covered options, hedging or spreading strategies.
Risk of Loss
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor.
Our investment approach constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors
face the following investment risks:
• Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuations in interest rates may cause investment
prices to fluctuate. For example, when interest rates rise, yields on
Arbor Investment Management, LLC
existing bonds become less attractive, causing their market values to
decline.
• Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in
reaction to tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of
risk is caused by external factors independent of a security’s particular
underlying circumstances. For example, political, economic and social
conditions may trigger market events.
• Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will
not buy as much as a dollar next year, because purchasing power is
eroding at the rate of inflation.
• Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the
value of the dollar against the currency of the investment’s originating
country. This is also referred to as exchange rate risk.
• Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from
investments may have to be reinvested at a potentially lower rate of
return (i.e., interest rate). This primarily relates to fixed income
securities.
• Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or
a particular company within an industry. For example, oil-drilling
companies depend on finding oil and then refining it, a lengthy
process, before they can generate a profit. They carry a higher risk of
profitability than an electric company, which generates its income from
a steady stream of customers who buy electricity no matter what the
economic environment is like.
• Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment
into cash. Generally, assets are more liquid if many traders are
interested in a standardized product. For example, Treasury Bills are
highly liquid, while real estate properties are not.
• Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations
