Item 5: Fees & Compensation
How We Are Compensated for Our Advisory Services
Asset Management:
Assets Under Management Annual Percentage of Assets Charge
Up to $1,000,000 1.25%
Over $1,000,000 0.75%
Our firm’s annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata basis quarterly in advance typically based on the
value of your account(s) on the last day of the previous quarter. Adjustments will be made for
deposits and withdrawals. Our firm bills on cash and cash equivalents unless indicated otherwise in
writing. Fees are negotiable and will be deducted from your account(s). As part of this process, the
client is made aware of the following:
a) Your independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly to you showing the market
values for each security included in the assets and all disbursements in your account
including the amount of the advisory fees paid to us.
b) You provide authorization permitting us to be directly paid by these terms. We send our
invoice directly to the custodian.
c) It is the client’s responsibility to verify the calculation of advisory fees deducted from the
account.
d) If we send a copy of our invoice to you, it will include a disclosure urging you to compare
information provided in our statement with those from the qualified custodian.
For certain clients with margin accounts, the advisory fee calculation is based on the total asset long
value of the account as calculated by the custodian and reported in the custodial statement rather
than the total account value. Using the total asset long value instead of the total account value results
in a higher client account valuation because it does not net out margin loan balances. Clients charged
an advisory fee based on the total long value of their margin account pay a higher advisory fee
because the calculation is based on the greater client account valuation.
Comprehensive Portfolio Management:
Assets Under Management Annual Percentage of Assets Charge
Up to $1,000,000 1.35%
Over $1,000,000 0.85%
Our firm’s annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata basis quarterly in advance typically based on the
value of your account(s) on the last day of the previous quarter. Adjustments will be made for
deposits and withdrawals. Our firm bills on cash and cash equivalents unless indicated otherwise in
writing. Fees are negotiable and will be deducted from your account(s). As part of this process, the

values for each security included in the assets and all disbursements in your account

Retirement Plan Consulting:
Our firm charges a fee based on percentage of plan assets for our Retirement Plan Consulting service.
The maximum fee will not exceed 1.00%. The fee-paying arrangements will be determined on a case-
by-case basis and will be detailed in the signed consulting agreement.
Other Types of Fees & Expenses
Our firm recommends Pershing Advisor Solutions, LLC (“Pershing”) and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.
(“Schwab”) as custodians for client accounts. Clients will incur transaction fees for trades executed
by their chosen custodian, either based on a percentage of the amount of assets in the account(s) or
via individual transaction charges. These transaction fees are separate from our fees and will be
disclosed by the custodian.
Clients with accounts custodied at Pershing will be subject to an annual asset-based fee of 0.03% per
account as of the last day of the previous quarter. Pershing’s annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata
basis quarterly in advance based on the value of the client’s account(s) on the last day of the previous
quarter. This asset-based pricing arrangement shall only apply to Pershing accounts funded at least
$200. The maximum quarterly Pershing fee shall not exceed $1,250 per account. Pershing’s
chargeable assets shall include domestic equities and ETFs, fixed income, options, and mutual funds.
FundVest, Alternatives, and Cash/Cash Equivalents shall be excluded from Pershing’s chargeable
assets. 529 assets shall be excluded from billing by Pershing.
