Item 5 Fees and Compensation
A. The client can engage C.L. Sheldon to provide non-discretionary investment advisory
services on a fee-only basis.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES
The client can engage C.L. Sheldon to provide bundled services that include financial
planning and non-discretionary investment advisory services on a negotiable fee- only basis.
For its Financial Planning service tier, C.L. Sheldon generally imposes a minimum
annual fee of $6,000, of which $1,000 is attributable to investment management.
The Wealth Management tier imposes a minimum annual fee of $12,000, of which
$2,000 is attributable to investment management.
Thus, the firm will generally not allow account sizes below a minimum of $60,000 and
$120,000, respectively, in these programs. The exact amount of a client’s fee shall vary
depending upon various objective and subjective factors, including but not limited to: the
amount of assets to be managed; account composition; the scope and complexity of the
engagement; the anticipated number of meetings and servicing needs; related accounts;
future earning capacity; anticipated future additional assets; the professional(s) rendering
the service(s); and negotiations with the client. As a result of these factors, similarly situated
clients could pay different fees, and the services to be provided by C.L. Sheldon to any
particular client could be available from other advisers at lower fees. All clients and
prospective clients should be guided accordingly.
Flat fees for bundled services may exceed 2.00% of the assets under C.L. Sheldon’s
management. From this total bundled fee, no client’s fee attributable to investment
management services, regardless of account size, will exceed 2.00%. Clients are advised that
annual investment advisory fees in excess of 2.00% are higher than those charged by other
investment advisors who may provide similar services.
In the event that the client requires extraordinary financial planning and/or consultation
services (to be determined in the sole discretion of C.L. Sheldon), C.L. Sheldon may
determine to charge for such additional services pursuant to a stand-alone Financial Planning
and Consulting Agreement (see below).
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES (STAND-ALONE)
C.L. Sheldon may provide financial planning and/or consulting services (including
investment and non-investment related matters, including estate planning, insurance
planning, etc.) on a stand-alone separate fee basis. C.L. Sheldon’s planning and consulting
fees are negotiable but are generally $250 on an hourly basis for Curt Sheldon, and $150 per
hour for other staff.
FINANCIAL COACHING
Monthly fees for financial coaching start at $250 and are paid in arrears.
B. C.L. Sheldon bills clients directly, quarterly in arrears, and payment is due upon receipt of
C.L. Sheldon’s invoice.
C. As discussed below at Item 12, unless the client directs otherwise or an individual client’s
circumstances require, C.L. Sheldon shall generally recommend that Altruist serve as the
broker-dealer/custodian for client investment management assets. Broker-dealers such as
Altruist charge brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees for effecting certain securities
transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain no-load mutual funds, commissions
are charged for individual equity and fixed-income securities transactions). In addition to
C.L. Sheldon’s investment management fee, brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees,
clients will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded fund purchases,
charges imposed at the fund level (e.g., management fees and other fund expenses). C.L.
Sheldon’s annual investment advisory fee shall be prorated and paid quarterly, in arrears.
A Financial Planning and/or Consulting Services Agreement shall terminate upon the
delivery of the plan and payment of the fee. The Wealth Management Agreement and/or
Financial Planning Agreement between C.L. Sheldon and the client will continue in effect
until terminated by either party by written notice in accordance with the terms of the
respective agreement. Upon termination, C.L. Sheldon shall charge the client for the pro-
rated portion of the earned, but unpaid, advisory fee based upon the number of days that
services were provided during the billing quarter.
In addition, a client has the right to terminate their Agreement with C.L. Sheldon, without
penalty or fee, within five (5) business days after entering into the agreement.
D. Neither C.L. Sheldon, nor its representatives accept compensation from the sale of
securities or other investment products. |

Item 7 Types of Clients
C.L. Sheldon’s clients generally include individuals and high net worth individuals. C.L.
Sheldon generally requires a minimum annual fee of $6,000 for Financial Planning services
and $10,000 for Wealth Management services. Please see Item 5 regarding minimum
account size information.
C.L. Sheldon, in its sole discretion, may waive or reduce this minimum annual fee
requirement based upon various objective and subjective factors, including but not limited
to: the amount of assets to be managed; account composition; the scope and complexity of
the engagement; the anticipated number of meetings and servicing needs; related accounts;
future earning capacity; anticipated future additional assets; the professional(s) rendering
the service(s); and negotiations with the client. As a result of these factors, similarly situated
clients could pay different fees, and the services to be provided by C.L. Sheldon to any
particular client could be available from other advisers at lower fees. All clients and
prospective clients should be guided accordingly. |
