FEES AND COMPENSATION
Depending upon the type and extent of advisory service to be provided by CIAS, our fees may take
the form of a percentage of assets under management, a fixed fee arrangement, hourly fees, or a
combination thereof. Our fees are generally subject to negotiation. However, some scenarios may
involve the implementation of a minimum fee/charge.
CIAS agrees, in writing, to serve as a fiduciary as defined under ERISA solely with respect to the
investment services provided to a plan which is subject to ERISA. In such cases, the client’s
advisory fee provided under the Investment Advisory Agreement will be specified in dollars or as
a percentage of plan assets at the commencement of the client engagement.
Asset-based Fees: for retirement plan consulting, fees are generally as follows, depending on the
complexity and depth of the assignment:
Plan assets up to $10 million Maximum of 1.00% annually
Plan assets above $10 million to $20 million Maximum of 0.75% annually
Plan assets above $20 million to $50 million Maximum of 0.50% annually
Plan assets above $50 million to $100 million Maximum of 0.30% annually
Plan assets above $100 million Maximum of 0.20% annually
Unless we mutually agree to bill on a different basis, fees are billed on a quarterly basis in arrears.
Fees are negotiable. Depending on the Investment Advisory agreement, CIAS may combine certain
accounts for billing and breakpoint purposes and may permit clients to specify one or more
accounts to use for billing purposes. Fees are calculated on a pro-rata basis over each quarter. We
do not pro-rate minimum quarterly fees. Fees are generally deducted from the clients’ assets in the
managed accounts or clients may elect to have CIAS bill the client separately for the fees depending
on the agreed upon terms outlined in the Investment Advisory Agreement. Participant directed
retirement plan accounts may have fees automatically deducted by a Third-Party Administrator.
Fixed and Hourly Fees:
One-time retirement plan consulting project fees generally range from $2,000 to $100,000 per plan,
depending on the size of the plan and the complexity or scope of the project. A minimum annual
fee of $5,000 applies to both discretionary and non-discretionary investment management services.
CIAS may charge an additional fee of up to 10 basis points (0.10%), depending on the scope and
complexity of services provided.
Additional Fees:
In addition to our fees, plan participants pay expenses relating to their Investment Company
securities (e.g., shares of mutual funds) that are embedded within each mutual fund’s net asset
value, which generally include investment advisory or management fees that are separate from our
own and paid to the mutual fund’s investment adviser. Plan Clients and plan participants should
review the respective fund prospectus for disclosure regarding such fees.

In addition, corporate retirement plans may be subject to other expenses related to the
administration and custody of their accounts. Possible third-party expenses include Third Party
Administrator fees, custodial fees, distribution expenses, trustee fees, audit and legal expenses.
Corporate retirement plans may also incur additional expenses related to the preparation of
participant materials and other services considered to be beneficial to the plan participant.
PERFORMANCE BASED FEES AND SIDE-BY-SIDE MANAGEMENT
We do not charge performance-based fees or engage in side-by-side management. |

TYPES OF CLIENTS
We provide investment advice primarily to corporate, non-profit, higher education, and public sector
qualified retirement plans. We do not impose a minimum account balance on retirement plan clients due to
the nature of such plans. However, we may impose a minimum fee, as we believe that providing the
necessary services to certain retirement plan accounts requires a significant commitment of time,
experience, and expertise, a commitment that is not always tied to the size of the plan. The minimum fee
will be disclosed in our Investment Advisory Agreement and is subject to adjustment based on the specific
services provided.
METHODS OF ANALYSIS, INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RISK OF LOSS
Assessment of economic and market environment
The Firm assesses the economic and market environment by evaluating a number of indicators
including: (1) economic growth; (2) consumer spending and confidence; (3) unemployment; (4)
thehousing market; (5) corporate earnings; (6) inflation; (7) interest rates; and (8) international
markets (including currencies and geopolitical risks).
Assessment of factors that determine a suitable investment strategy
Plan Client specific factors that determine a suitable investment strategy are defined in the
Investment Policy Statement as the client’s objectives (Return and Risk) and constraints (Liquidity,
Legal/Regulatory, Time Horizon, Tax, and Unique Circumstances). CIAS does not directly manage
securities in-house, but conducts due diligence and selects and monitors third-party investment
managers and investment options, including under its discretionary 3(38) fiduciary services.
Investment Strategies
Chadler Investment Advisory Solutions, LLC
In addition, the Firm has expanded its services to include discretionary investment management as a
3(38) fiduciary under ERISA. Under this arrangement, the Firm assumes full discretion over the
selection, monitoring, and replacement of investment options within a retirement plan, which
represents a change from prior non-discretionary advisory services.
Due to the varying nature of clients' objectives and constraints, CIAS utilizes various investment
strategies. The implementation of these investment strategies is achieved through utilization of
outside asset managers, primarily, by recommending the use of mutual funds and, under appropriate
circumstances, managed accounts, subaccounts of variable products, guaranteed insurance con-
tracts (GICS), collective trust and other cash type alternatives.
Methods of Security Analysis / Investment Monitoring and Reporting
We will evaluate and choose the desired investment options for the Plan Client’s investment menu.
If an investment manager (responsible for the management of the underlying investment vehicle,
such as a mutual fund, commingled account or separate account) is chosen as the investment option,
the following minimum criteria will be considered:
The investment manager must be a bank, insurance company, investment management,
mutual fund company or an investment advisor under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;
The investment manager should operate in good standing with regulators and clients, with
no material pending or concluded legal actions against it; and
All relevant quantitative and qualitative information on the fund manager and fund should
be made available by the manager and/or vendor.
The fi360 Fiduciary Score uses a set of quantitative criteria to gauge whether a particular investment
option meets fi360’s standards of investment prudence. Fi360 leverages Morningstar data to evaluate
thousands of mutual funds, ETFs, and insurance group separate accounts using nine different
fiduciary considerations, including regulatory oversight, minimum track record, stability of the
organization, assets in the investment, composition consistency with asset class, style consistency,
expense ratio/fees relative to peers, risk-adjusted performance relative to peers, and performance
relative to peers. All investments under consideration should meet the following standards for
selection:
Regulatory oversight: the investment should be managed by: (a) a bank, (b) an insurance
company, (c) a registered investment company (mutual fund), or (d) a registered
investment adviser.
Minimum track record: the investment should have at least three years of history so that
performance statistics can be properly calculated.
Stability of the organization: the same portfolio management team should be in place for
the last two years. In a management team setting, the most senior manager’s tenure should
be at least two years.
Assets in the investment: the investment should have at least $75 million under
management.
Chadler Investment Advisory Solutions, LLC
Composition consistent with asset class: at least 80% of the investment’s underlying
securities should be consistent with the broad asset class.
Style consistency: the product must be highly correlated to the asset class of the investment
option. This means the Morningstar Style Box for the current quarter must match the peer
group of the investment.
Expense ratios/fees relative to peers: the product’s fees should not be in the bottom quartile
(most expensive) of their peer group. The Prospectus Net Expense Ratio is used for the
