sources. Please note that unless a client has received the firm’s disclosure brochure at least 48 hours
prior to signing the investment advisory contract, the investment advisory contract may be
terminated by the client within five (5) business days of signing the contract without incurring any
advisory fees.
How We Are Compensated for Our Advisory Services
Assets Under Management is defined as the accumulated total of all accounts held within a client
household. Other non-advisory assets may be included by the advisor at their discretion.

Assets Charge
$0 to $250,000 1.50%

$500,000 to $999,999 1.10%
$1,000,000 to $1,999,999 1.00%

When establishing the asset charge for a specific account, the advisor will consider various factors
which include the size of the account, trading frequency and transactions cost imposed. There are
instances when the advisor will assess a lower asset charge to offset the cost of transaction charges
or the selection of higher share classes which do not assess a transaction charge. The goal being to
establish a total cost that is equivalent or lower than the asset management schedule above.

automatically deducted from your managed account. In rare cases, we will agree to direct bill clients.
