The Fee Schedules noted above reflect the current structure and do not reflect the structure applied to Clients who
engaged BTS prior to March 31, 2020. For accounts opened prior to March 31, 2020, the maximum Representative
Referral fee for all portfolios was, and remains, 1.5%, whereas today the maximum is 1.25% for tactical portfolios, and
1.00% for all other portfolios.
Under certain circumstances, BTS agrees to charge Clients of certain sales representatives and/or broker-dealers
referring BTS to their Client less than its customary rate because of the volume of business referred to, or promised to
be referred to BTS, by such sales representatives or broker/dealers. Fees charged to pension plans, retirement plans,
and institutional Clients are negotiable. BTS reserves the right to negotiate fees where there are multiple accounts for
one person or within the same household which may, when consolidated, amount to over a breakpoint. Fees vary
depending on the Client’s financial representative and account type. Indirect fees and expenses, such as third-party fees,
custodian fees, and mutual fund expenses, also vary by Client and account. As a concession to their clients, some third-
party solicitors select a reduced representative fee. Because of the fee structure, fees will differ for each BTS client. As
an example, two BTS Clients with the same size account and using the same BTS Portfolio may have materially different
fees charged for the same or similar services received by BTS. Due to the different fee levels, Clients assessed higher
fees will have performance that will be lower than BTS Clients with lower fees. In addition, BTS may have agreements
with certain broker/dealers or registered investment advisors to manage Client accounts through the broker/dealers'
or registered investment advisors’ custodian at a reduced advisory fee. In addition, generally the Advisory Fee portion
