* Additional details for IAG:
Clients of an IAG member who elect to participate in the Callan UMA program pay
an asset-based fee to the overlay manager of the UMA program who, in turn, pays
an asset-based fee to Callan for program coordination and to the sub-advisers for
providing the investment strategy instructions to the overlay manager. Overlay
manager fees also include payment for implementation and overlay services
provided by the overlay manager. Fees payable by the IAG member are in most
instances reduced or waived based on the fees received by Callan from the overlay
manager.
Participants in the UMA program are also responsible for paying separate fees to
their respective fiduciary intermediary or investment adviser who is an IAG member
and oversees such participant’s UMA program investment, as well as paying for
portfolio execution and custody charges. Callan does not participate in any such
fees or charges.
Consulting fees for IAG Alternatives Consulting clients may be based, in part, on
program assets.
While the suite of services for each business line is individually priced, there is one set of services
that spans all client types—our educational services. Fees for these services are up to $3,500 per
person, per session for “Callan College” and up to $65,000 per organization per year for the
Callan Institute.
Generally, a client may cancel an agreement for services with Callan at any time upon written
notice to Callan. If Callan is in the process of performing services for a client that the client does
not want completed, then Callan will bill the client for the services performed to the date of
cancellation. Fees are typically billed monthly or quarterly in arrears.
Callan has no soft-dollar arrangements with any broker and only accepts checks from brokers as
payment for its hard-dollar client fees. |

Hospitals

FSC consultants may evaluate and recommend that a plan fiduciary consider Callan’s
discretionary services.
Generally, Callan does not maintain account minimums across all client types, though the firm’s
account size relationships for discretionary work are typically not less than $50 million.
Callan provides research and educational services to investment managers and receives
compensation from them for those services. Some of those investment managers are evaluated
or recommended by Callan to its other clients. Callan recognizes there is a potential conflict
between Callan's interest in receiving compensation from investment managers and Callan's
obligation to provide objective advice to our advisory clients who work or may work with those
managers. This includes investment manager searches Callan performs for FSC clients, our
selection of investment managers who participate in the UMA program offered to IAG clients, or
our manager selection activities conducted as part of our discretionary services.
Callan is committed to ensuring it does not consider an investment manager’s business
relationship with the firm, or lack thereof, in performing evaluations for or making
recommendations to its other clients. We inform our investment manager clients of this policy at
the start of the relationship and notify all clients of this policy and provide regular disclosure to our
discretionary and non-discretionary advisory clients, including FSC and IAG clients, of the
existence of our business relationships with investment managers. In all cases, employees are
required to carry out their duties solely in the best interests of our advisory clients and free from
all compromising influences and loyalties. |
