Item 5 – Fees and Compensation

The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for investment management.
Each Client shall sign one or more advisory agreements that detail the responsibilities of Avant Capital and the
Client.

A. Fees for Advisory Services
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees range from of 0.95% to 2.00% annually, depending on the composition of assets,
services provided, and overall client relationship. For Clients that hold any of the below Security Types, the fee
for investment advisory services is blended with the annual rate as outlined:

                           Schedule A: Security Type                     Annual Rate (%)

                      Cash and Cash Equivalents                                0.10%

                      CDs                                                      0.25%

                      Individual Bonds                                         0.35%

Certain clients may be subject to legacy fee schedules that differ from the above tiered schedules.

Investment advisory fees are paid quarterly, in advance 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. For purposes of calculating advisory fees, assets under
management generally include cash positions (including cash held in cash management programs), as well as
accrued interest and dividends, unless otherwise determined by the Advisor in its discretion.

The Advisor imposes a minimum fee of $5 per month ($15 per quarter). Clients will be charged the greater of (i)
the applicable minimum fee or (ii) the advisory fee calculated based on the fee schedules set forth above and in
the client’s investment advisory agreement. In certain circumstances, the Advisor may waive the minimum fee at
its discretion or apply a different minimum fee arrangement for accounts that are subject to legacy or
grandfathered fee schedules, as disclosed in the client’s applicable advisory agreement.

In the event of additional deposits to a Client’s account during a billing period, the advisory fee attributable to
such assets will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the quarter and typically assessed in
                                                     Avant Capital, LLC
                                          500 Richland Avenue, Lafayette, LA 70508
                                         Phone: (337) 504-2221 * Fax: (866) 936-7964

arrears, with any such adjustment reflected in the subsequent billing cycle. The Advisor does not automatically
adjust advisory fees for withdrawals made during a billing period. However, fee adjustments for withdrawals may
be made on a case-by-case basis at the sole discretion of the Advisor.

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. Investment advisory fees may be negotiable at the sole discretion of the Advisor. The
Client’s fees will take into consideration the aggregate assets under management and types of securities held
with the Advisor. All securities held in accounts managed by Avant Capital will be independently valued by the
Custodian. Avant Capital conducts periodic reviews of the Custodian’s valuations to ensure accurate billing.

The Advisor’s fee is exclusive of, and in addition to any applicable securities transaction and custody fees, and
other related costs and expenses described in Item 5.C. below, which may be incurred by the Client. However,
the Advisor shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.

Retirement Plan Advisory Services
Fees for retirement plan advisory services are charged an annual asset-based fee of up to 1.5% and are billed
quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter pursuant to the terms of the retirement plan advisory agreement.
Retirement plan advisory fees are based on the market value of assets in the Plan at the end of the prior
quarter. The Advisor may also offer a fixed annual fee instead of an asset-based fee. Fees may be negotiable at
the sole discretion of the Advisor and are typically based on the size and complexity of the services provided to
the Plan.

Financial Planning Services
Avant Capital offers financial planning services either on an hourly basis or a fixed engagement fee. Hourly fees
are $200 per hour. Fixed fees generally start at $1,500 and are negotiable based on the complexity of the
services to be provided and the overall client relationship. Typically, 50% of the estimated fee is due upon
execution of the Financial Planning Agreement, with the remaining balance due upon completion of the
services. Fees may be negotiable based on the nature and complexity of the services to be provided and the
overall relationship with the Advisor. An estimate for total hours and/or total costs will be provided to the Client prior
to engaging for these services.

B. Fee Billing
Investment Management Services
Investment advisory fees will be calculated by the Advisor based on the above Schedules and deducted from
the Client’s account[s] at the Custodian. The Advisor shall send an invoice to the Custodian indicating the
amount of the fees to be deducted from the Client’s account[s] at the beginning of the respective quarter. The
amount due is calculated by reviewing the asset breakdown of the clients account and applying the applicable
quarterly rate (annual rate divided by actual days in the upcoming calendar quarter per tier) to the total assets
under management with Avant Capital at the end of the prior calendar quarter. Clients will be provided with a
statement, at least quarterly, from the Custodian reflecting the deduction of the investment advisory fee. It is the

Item 7 – Types of Clients

Avant Capital offers investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts, estates, and
retirement plans. The relative percentage of each type of Client is available on Avant Capital’s Form ADV Part 1.
These amounts may change over time and are updated at least annually by the Advisor.

Avant Capital generally requires a minimum account size of $3,000. The Advisor may waive or reduce this
minimum at its sole discretion based on the circumstances of the client relationship.
