Item 5: Fees and Compensation
The specific manner in which fees are charged by CAM is established in a client’s written
agreement with the Firm. CAM will generally bill its fees on a quarterly basis in arrears. Pursuant
to its agreement with Client, CAM will instruct the qualifying custodian to directly debited the fees
from the Client’s account. CAM will require its qualified custodian, pursuant to a written contract,
to provide periodic account statements directly to its clients on no less than a quarterly basis and
otherwise comply with the federal requirements for an investment adviser who has custody by virtue
of its ability to automatically debit its clients’ accounts for the advisory fee. Management fees shall
be prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal made during the applicable calendar
quarter (with the exception of de minimis contributions and withdrawals). Accounts initiated or
terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee.
CAM’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by
custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as fees charged by
managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer
and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities
transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees,
which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. This may include certain fees paid out of mutual fund
assets (sometimes referred to as “12b-1 fees”) to cover the costs of advertising, marketing,
Cardenas Asset Management, LLC – Form ADV 4
distribution and shareholder services fees. CAM and its advisers continue to strive to select the
mutual fund share class that is most appropriate for their clients, which may include mutual funds
that pay a 12b-1 fee to the broker-dealer utilized to execute the securities transaction. CAM does
not share in any of the revenue provided by the 12b-1 fee. On occasion, the selection of a specific
share class may be deemed to be inappropriate for the client because of the payment of the 12b-
1 fee to the broker-dealer. If that is the case, the clearing firm generally will have discretion to
transfer the mutual fund shares to a share class that is more appropriate for the clients. Such
charges, fees and commissions are generally established by the third-party service provider (and
not CAM) and are generally exclusive of. and in addition to. CAM’s fee. As stated previously, CAM
does not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
All securities in an account are coded as an equity security, fixed income security or cash. As of
the date of this brochure, the following list represents the annual fee assessed on accounts with
the following securities in their portfolio:
Equities, Stock Mutual Funds, Balanced Mutual Funds .65%
Fixed Income, Preferred Stock, Certificates of Deposit, Income Funds .30%
Cash, Money Market Funds .15%
Since CAM has determined that its fees are competitive in the marketplace, it has determined that
its management fees are non-negotiable in order to treat each client equitably.
CAM will not charge Clients for requested duplicate statements, tax reports or historical buy/sell
information for litigation claims or as needed for tax preparation that are a part of CAM’s records;
however, statements that are requested directly from the Custodian may be subject to the
custodian’s fees for duplicate statements.
Clients are assessed a minimum annual fee of $100 per client. This minimum fee may be waived
at CAM’s sole discretion.
Clients have the right to cancel the advisory contract after providing notice to CAM at least five (5)
days in advance of any cancellation notice. Since fees are paid in arrears, clients remain obligated
to pay for any services and expenses that may incurred prior to the official cancellation.
Please see Item 12 for further description of the factors that CAM considers in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their
compensation (e.g., commissions). |
