Item 5 – Fees and Compensation

This section provides details about the fees and compensation arrangements of each of our services.

Asset Management Fees

CGI provides investment management services for an annual fee based upon a percentage of the market
value of the aggregate client assets held under management or commonly termed as household
accounts. The annual investment advisory fee charged by CGI will range up to 1.00% and is negotiable
depending on the market value of the account, asset types, complexity of the client portfolio, level of
trading activity and other variables. It is important to note that it is possible that different advisory firms
may charge different fees for providing the same types and level of service to clients. The fees charged
by CGI do not include the fees charged by either the Introducing Advisor or the Referring Advisor. The
Introducing or Referring Advisors’ fees can range up to a maximum of 1.50% bringing the total advisory
fee charged under this program up to a maximum of 2.50% of the assets held in the account.

It is important to note that it is possible that different investment advisor representatives and different
firms may charge different fees for providing the same types and level of service to clients. The specific
level of services you will receive and the fees you will be charged will be specified in your advisory
services agreement. The annual fee is divided and paid quarterly in advance through a direct debit to
your account.

We strive to ensure that the combined fees charged by CGI and the affiliated or unaffiliated investment
advisers do not exceed industry standards.

CGI is responsible for the fee calculation and requesting the debiting all fees from your accounts held at
our approved custodians. You must provide the account custodian with written authorization to debit
advisory fees from your accounts and pay the fees to CGI. Fees are based on the account's asset value
as of the last business day of the prior calendar quarter. Fees for accounts opened at any time other than
the beginning of a quarter are prorated based on the number of days remaining in the initial quarter.

In Sub Advisor relationships all fees are paid to CGI which will pay a portion of those fees to the Referring
Advisor.

Billing Cycle

CGI bills the annual advisory fee on a quarterly basis and in advance, at the start of the calendar quarter.
Fees are based on the value of the account on the last business day of the previous quarter. If asset
management services are commenced in the middle of a billing period, the prorated fee for the initial
billing period is billed in arrears at the same time as the next full billing period’s fee is billed. If a deposit
more than $1,000 occurs during a billing period after the fee calculation, the fee for the billing period will
be recalculated at the end of the billing period and CGI will bill Client a second fee pro-rata, in arrears, on
the additional deposits. If a withdrawal more than $1,000 occurs during a billing period after the fee
calculation, the fee for that billing period will be recalculated at the end of the billing period and Client will

be refunded the pro-rate fee that was attributable to the amount of the withdrawal. You may elect to have
the quarterly fee charged to one account, or split between other accounts, or you may elect to pay us by
check. We prefer to charge your accounts directly. The Custodian will send client statements at least
quarterly, showing all payouts from the account including the advisory fee, if deducted from the account.

Fees are based on the account's asset value as of the last business day of the prior calendar quarter.
The fees for accounts opened at any time other than the beginning of a quarter are prorated based on the
number of days remaining in the initial quarter. The prorated fee for the initial billing period is billed in
arrears at the same time as the next full billing period’s fee is billed. The Custodian will send client
statements at least quarterly, showing all payouts from the account including the advisory fee deducted
from the account.

The specifics of the fee billing and distribution processes will be outlined in the agreement executed
between CGI and the Referring Adviser.

CGI’s fees may be higher or lower than fees charged by other financial professionals offering similar
services. CGI reserves the right to modify its fee schedule in the future by providing clients with 30 days
advance notice of any modification.

A Sub-Advisory Agreement must be completed to engage in advisory services. All Agreements shall
continue in effect until terminated by either party by giving to the other notice in writing at least seven (7)
days prior to the date of termination. We will provide a copy of this brochure (Form ADV, Part 2A) to you
before or with the execution of the Agreement. If you did not receive this disclosure at least forty-eight
(48) hours before executing the Agreement, then you will have five business days subsequent to
executing the Agreement to terminate the Agreement without penalty or fees. If services are cancelled
after the first five days, then the final fee will be pro-rated. The amount is based on the number of days of
service provided during the current quarter. Effective with the date of termination, we shall refrain,
without liability or obligation, from taking any further action in your Account(s). In addition, from the date
of termination, we will cease to be entitled to receive fees. If a contract is terminated after fees have been
collected for a given period, a prorated refund of such fees will promptly be credited to you for that period.
This cancellation will be subject to any changes related to the settlement of transactions in progress and
the final payment of advisory fees.
