Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Fee Schedule
Investment Supervisory Services Fees
Total AUM < $250,000 Annual Fee
$0-250,000 1.50%
Total Assets Under Management Annual Fee
First $1,000,000 1.00%
$1,000,001 - $3,000,000 0.50%
Above $3,000,001 0.25%
Ark Advisors charges an asset-based fee for investment advisory services, which ranges
from 0.25% to 1.50% annually, depending on the total assets under management and
the complexity of the client’s financial situation. Fees are negotiable based on specific
client needs, the scope of services provided, and the account size.
Form ADV 2A
Version: January 2026
The final fee schedule is attached as Exhibit I of the Investment Advisory Contract. Fees
are paid monthly or quarterly in arrears depending on the custodian, and clients may
terminate their contracts with written notice. Because fees are charged in arrears, no
refund policy is necessary. Clients may terminate their accounts without penalty within 5
business days of signing the advisory contract. Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from
the client’s accounts with client written authorization.
EXAMPLE: For example, a client with $500,000 in assets under management would pay
an annual fee of $5,000 (1.0% of AUM) for investment supervisory services.
Financial Planning Fees
Financial planning services are offered on a fixed-fee basis, with fees ranging from $500
to $20,000. The final fee is determined by the complexity of the client’s financial situation,
the breadth of the planning requested, and the time required to prepare the plan. Clients
will receive a customized quote prior to engaging these services.
Fees are paid in advance, but never more than six months in advance. Fees that are
charged in advance will be refunded based on the prorated amount of work completed at
the point of termination. The fees are negotiable, and the final fee schedule will be
attached as Exhibit I of the Financial Planning Agreement. Clients may terminate their
contracts without penalty within five business days of signing the advisory contract.
Retirement Plan (401k) Fees
Total Assets Under Management Annual Fee
First $1,500,000 0.75%
$1,500,001 - $3,000,000 0.50%
$3,000,001 - $10,000,000 0.25%
$10,000,001+ 0.10%
Ark Advisors charges an asset-based fee for retirement plan services, which ranges from
0.10% to 0.75% annually, depending on the total assets under management in plan as of
June 30th of the previous year. Fees are negotiable based on specific client needs, the
scope of services provided, and the account size.
The final fee schedule is attached as Exhibit I of the Retirement Plan Services Agreement.
Fees are paid monthly or quarterly in arrears depending on the custodian, and clients
Form ADV 2A
Version: January 2026
may terminate their contracts with written notice. Because fees are charged in arrears, no
refund policy is necessary. Clients may terminate their accounts without penalty within 5
business days of signing the advisory contract. Advisory fees are withdrawn directly from
the participant accounts or can be paid directly by plan trustee. Plan trustees are also
responsible for all custodian fees, TPA expenses, and applicable 401k audit charges.
EXAMPLE: For example, a retirement plan with $1,000,000 in assets under management
would pay an annual fee of $7,500 (0.75% of AUM) for fiduciary and non-fiduciary
services outlined in Item 4B of Form ADV 2A.
Services Termination
Either party may terminate services by providing written notice of termination to the
other party. If services are terminated within five business days of signing the client
agreement, services are terminated without penalty.
No Other Compensation
Ark does not reasonably expect to receive any other compensation, direct or indirect, for
its services. If Ark receives any other compensation for such services, Ark will (i) offset
that compensation against our stated fees, and (ii) will disclose the amount of such
compensation, the services rendered for such compensation and the payer of such
compensation to client.
B. Payment of Fees
It is important to understand how third-party fees, combined with advisory fees, can
impact the overall performance of your portfolio. Ark Advisors works to minimize
these costs where possible, but they are ultimately determined by the providers.
