Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule
ASSET MANAGEMENT
Black Diamond Financial offers discretionary and non-discretionary asset management
services to advisory Clients. The specific way our fees for Investment Advisory are
charged is established in each client agreement with Black Diamond Financial. The
structure and level of our fees vary by client based upon the services provided and other
relevant considerations. Customarily, fees are calculated as a percentage of billable
assets. When our investment advisory fees are calculated as a percentage of billable
assets, we generally apply a tiered schedule where fee rates decrease as billable assets
increase. The fee decrease applies to the portion of the billable assets in each applicable
tier. The annual rate does not exceed 0.85% per annum.
There will be a minimum annual fee of $3,000 or 3%, whichever is less. The annual fee
may be negotiable. Accounts within the same household may be combined for a reduced
fee. Fees are billed quarterly in advance based on the amount of assets managed as of
the last business day of the previous quarter. Lower fees for comparable services may be
available from other sources. Clients may terminate their account within five (5)
business days of signing the Investment Advisory Agreement for a full refund. Clients
may terminate advisory services with thirty (30) days verbal or written notice. Black
Diamond Financial will be entitled to a pro rata fee for the days service was provided in
the final quarter. Client shall be given thirty (30) days prior written notice of any
increase in fees, and Client will acknowledge, in writing, any agreement of increase in
said fees.
PRIVATE POOLED INVESTMENT VEHICLES
Black Diamond Financial, LLC, serves as the Investment Manager and Adviser to the
Fund. Typically, the Investment Manager or Investment Adviser is responsible for
management, operation, and control of the investment activities of the Fund, to the
extent provided in the Partnership Agreement and Management Agreement. The
investment manager’s primary function will be to identify, analyze and select potential
Portfolio investments.
Black Diamond Financial charges a management fee or administration fee in accordance
with the terms of each fund. You should refer to the offering documents for a complete
description of the fees and other relevant information associated with investing in the
Fund. Generally, the management fee and administration fee is 0.50% of the investors’
committed capital each year. We plan to deduct fees when capital is called which could
result in fees being deducted less frequently than every quarter or more than one
quarter in advance. Fees will not be deducted more than six months in advance.

and the remaining amount due upon delivery of the plan. All plans will be delivered to
the Client within sixty (60) days of initial engagement contingent upon all applicable
documentation being provided to Advisor. Clients may request to terminate their
planning agreement with Black Diamond Financial, in whole or in part, by giving written

terminates within five (5) days of initial engagement, then a full refund without penalty
will be granted to Client.
Black Diamond Financial also reserves the right to waive the financial planning fee if the
Client implements the plan through Black Diamond Financial.

the assets as calculated by the custodian or record keeper of the Included Assets
(without adjustments for anticipated withdrawals by Plan participants or other
anticipated or scheduled transfers or distribution of assets) on the last business day of
the previous quarter. If the services to be provided start any time other than the first day
of a quarter, the fee will be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the
quarter. If the agreement is terminated prior to the end of the fee period, Black Diamond
Financial shall be entitled to a prorated fee based on the number of days during the fee
period services were provided.
The fee schedule, which includes compensation of Black Diamond Financial for the
services is described in detail in the ERISA Plan Agreement. The Plan is obligated to pay
the fees, however the Plan Sponsor may elect to pay the fees. Each Client may elect to be
billed directly or have fees deducted from Plan Assets. Black Diamond Financial does not
reasonably expect to receive any additional compensation, directly or indirectly, for its
services. If additional compensation is received, Black Diamond Financial will disclose
