Fees and Compensation
Description
Camden bases its fees on a percentage of assets under management, the applicable
minimum annual fee, or a negotiated flat fee with periodic adjustments for inflation.
Financial Plans are priced according to the degree of complexity associated with the
Client’s situation.
Fees are not negotiable.
Fee Billing
Investment management fees are billed quarterly, in arrears, meaning that we invoice
the Client after the three-month billing period has ended. Camden provides a copy of
the Client’s invoice along with their quarterly investment statements. Camden utilizes
the quarter end balance to determine the Client’s fee. It is clearly noted on the invoice
that the Client must verify the fee calculation in that the custodian will not verify these
figures. The Client authorizes Camden to directly debit this fee from the Client’s
investment accounts, via the custodian account application. Fees are pulled from
Camden Financial Management, Inc.
multiple Client accounts each quarter. The fee deduction is rotated between the
Client’s accounts if the Client has multiple accounts.
Other Fees
Custodians charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds,
exchange-traded funds or separate issue securities. These transaction charges are
usually small and incidental to the underlying annual expense of the fund. The
selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee the custodian charges
to buy or sell the security. The current fees at Charles Schwab are $10 to $45 for a
mutual fund and zero for stocks and ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds).
Camden also utilizes third party bond brokers that transact bond and CD purchases
and sales under the direction of the Advisor. These bond brokers are compensated
by commissions and it is Camden’s responsibility to reduce these commissions
wherever possible. These commissions for the purchase or sale of municipal bonds
are significantly higher than the transactions to buy separate issue stocks or mutual
funds. There is no ongoing mutual fund expense on these separate issue bonds or
CDs, thus the benefit in paying a higher commission to purchase these securities.
It is imperative to understand that Camden does not receive any of the above
commissions nor does Camden receive any enticement to direct trades to these third-
party brokers.
Investments may also include: equities (stocks), preferred stock, corporate debt
securities, certificates of deposit, municipal bonds, investment company securities
(mutual funds and exchange traded funds) and U. S. government securities.
Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are not available through Camden.
There are instances where extraordinary financial planning or non-investment-oriented
services could arise under the Investment Advisory Agreement. It should be noted that
these instances are rare, but have been becoming more frequent with the estate
settlement work that we have been doing for heirs. Camden will discuss any additional
fees with client before any fees accrue. The most common reason for these fees has
been death or divorce of a Client. An hourly fee of $350 will be billed for these services.
Expense Ratios
Mutual funds and ETFs charge a management fee for their services as investment
managers. These fees vary on the complexity of the management of the specific
funds. As an example, a fund that has an expense of .2% would have an annual
expense of $200 on a $100,000 investment. These fees are in addition to the fees
paid by the Client to Camden.
Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various publications are
after their fees have been deducted. Camden’s performance reports are net of all
fees (Camden’s Fee, Mutual Fund Expenses and Custodian Transaction Fee).
Equity Assets are invested primarily in no-load mutual funds and exchange-traded
funds (ETFs) and Fixed Income Assets are mostly invested within separate issue
bonds and CDs. Most of the mutual funds are deemed to be “Institutional Class”
Camden Financial Management, Inc.
funds due to their reduced annual expenses provided to Investment Advisors that
have substantial holdings with the fund company. The underlying expense in a
recommended fund is very important and a determining factor for the advisor in
recommending the funds to the Client. Camden favors these lower expense
investments where applicable for its Clients. These expenses are disclosed in the
fund prospectus or can be viewed on the mutual fund’s website. Camden can also
provide details on these fund fees on the initial “Recommendation Letter.”
Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement
Camden deducts fees from Investment Advisory accounts approximately three weeks
following the end of the quarter. The Client authorizes the Advisor to deduct these
fees at the onset of the relationship. The Client has approximately two weeks to
review their bill before the deduction is implemented. With the above arrangement,
Past Due Accounts are not applicable. Also, as previously noted, the Client or
Advisor can terminate any agreement and a prorated portion of the fee will be
charged to the Client. |

Types of Clients
Description
Camden generally provides investment advice to individuals, families, pension and
profit-sharing plans, trusts and estates.
Client relationships vary in length of service.
Account Minimums
Camden believes Clients need to have a minimum portfolio of approximately
$3,000,000 to justify Camden’s $20,000 minimum annual fee.
Camden has the discretion to temporarily reduce the account minimum.
