The Bison Investment Advisors, LLC adviser fee does not include trading fees, custodian fees, or
performance reporting, which will be charged separately, directly to the client account, and will
vary based upon the selected custodian and reporting firms. Please refer to Item 12 for details
regarding brokerage. The Bison Investment Advisors, LLC advisor fee for separately managed
accounts will not exceed 2.0% and is negotiable. Bison Investment Advisors, LLC currently uses a
third-party reporting service to calculate its quarterly advisor fee. The reporting service uses a
tiered but weighted rate. It should be noted that fees may be more than the industry norm, and that
similar advisory services may be obtained for less through a different advisor. The minimum
investment is $250,000. Bison Investment Advisors, LLC may, in its sole discretion, agree to accept
a client’s account with a lesser value.
Bison Investment Advisors, LLC adviser fees are charged to the client account in advance, initially
upon inception of the account and then quarterly thereafter based upon the market value of the
account, including securities, cash, and money market balances, less any margin or other debit
balances, on the last day of the preceding quarter. Fees are calculated on a quarterly basis, using a
365-day year and the actual days in the quarter. There may be investments in the portfolios which
are not assessed a fee. If there are insufficient funds to cover quarterly management fees, fees will
be pulled from a like-titled client account or other account as directed by the client.
Example of how fees are calculated are as follows:
