Our annual fee is reasonable in relation to (1) the services provided and (2) the fees charged by other investment
advisers offering similar services/programs.
Our annual fee is prorated and charged quarterly in arrears based on the average daily balance of the account.
Cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, are subject to your advisory fee. Clients should
understand that the advisory fees charged on these balances may exceed the returns provided by cash, cash
equivalents, or money market funds, especially in low-interest rate environments.
Our Firm retains complete discretion to negotiate fees and may waive or impose different fees on any Client.
The investment advisory fees will be deducted from your account and paid directly to our Firm by the qualified
Custodian(s) of your account. The Client will authorize your account's qualified Custodian(s) to deduct fees from
the account and pay such fees directly to our Firm. All account assets, transactions, and advisory fees will be
shown on the monthly or quarterly statements provided by the Custodian. You should review your account
statements received from the qualified Custodian(s) and verify that appropriate investment advisory fees are
being deducted. The qualified Custodian(s) will not verify the accuracy of the investment advisory fees deducted.
We may aggregate related Client accounts to calculate the advisory fee applicable to the Client. The investment
management agreement will outline the fee charged to a Client and any breakpoints based on the level of assets
managed. The fees are subject to change with prior written notice to the Client.
Our annual investment advisory fee may be higher than that of other investment advisers that offer similar
services and programs. In addition to our compensation, you may incur charges imposed at the mutual fund
level (e.g., advisory fees and other fund expenses).
Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarterly will generally be charged a prorated fee based on
the days the Client account was open during that quarter. Any prepaid, unearned fees will be refunded upon
termination of any account.

planning tiers:

Planning Agreement. Refunds for unearned fees are issued in the event of early termination, and any prorated
work will be billed at the applicable hourly rate.
