Fees and Compensation
Description
CFSG’s advisory fee is set forth in its written advisory agreement with the client. In
addition to the advisory fee, certain CFSG advisers may receive insurance commissions
from the sale of insurance products. Additional information about these commissions
and fees is described below.
While our advisory fees are not negotiable, we may consider aggregating related
accounts or offer a professional courtesy discount.
Advisory Fees
Discretionary Accounts
Fees for discretionary portfolio management are typically assessed based on assets
under management at the following annual rates:
2.00% for a Portfolio with up to $499,999;
1.50% for a Portfolio with between $500,000 and $999,999;
1.00% for a Portfolio with between $1,000,000 and $4,999,999;
0.90% for a Portfolio with between $5,000,000 and $7,499,999;
0.75% for a Portfolio with between $7,500,000 and $9,999,999
0.60% for a Portfolio above $10,000,000
The above fee rate at each breakpoint applies to the entire account, not just the portion
of the account that is within a particular breakpoint. CFSG will aggregate a client’s
advisory accounts for purposes of determining the appropriate fee rate.
Fee Billing
Advisory fees are generally deducted directly from the client’s account(s), though
clients may request to pay these fees by check or some other form. Advisory fees for
new clients are deducted (or billed) quarterly in advance, based on the market value of
the client’s account(s) as of the date CFSG first begins advising the account(s), and
thereafter as of the first business day of each quarter. Certain existing clients of CFSG
are billed annually in advance.
Generally, a client may terminate his or her investment management agreement at any
time by mailing written notice to CFSG. Clients will receive a pro rata refund of any
advisory fees paid, but not yet earned, as of the date of termination.

Financial Planning Fees
Clients may also elect to pay for our financial planning services by paying (a) an hourly
fee at a rate of $250 to $500 an hour (depending on the experience of the CFSG team
member or members providing the service), (b) a negotiated flat fee, (c) a fee based on
the client’s net worth or income, or (d) some combination of (a) – (c). Financial
planning services are also available bundled with Advisory Fees.
A CFSG team member will discuss these financial planning fee options with each new
client to assist the client in determining which option would work best for them.
Insurance Commissions
Certain CFSG advisers are registered insurance agents, and will receive commissions
for the sale of insurance products, including those recommended to clients. This
presents certain conflicts of interest. Because these advisers receive commissions for
the sale of insurance products, they and CFSG have an incentive not to recommend the
purchase of investments and insurance products that do not pay such compensation (or
that pay a lower commission rate). CFSG addresses this conflict by fully disclosing to
the client, at the time of the sale of the insurance product, that the adviser will receive
a commission from the sale. Clients may purchase insurance products recommended
by CFSG through other agents that are not affiliated with CFSG. CFSG’s advisory fees
will not be reduced to offset the payment of insurance commissions.
Mutual Fund Fees and Expenses
Mutual funds charge their own management and other operating expenses, as described
in each fund’s prospectus. Mutual funds also typically offer multiple share classes with
different fee structures. CFSG will recommend and invest client assets in the mutual
fund share class that it determines offers the most favorable terms for the client, taking
into account factors including, but not limited to, trade costs, fund minimums, possible
short-term redemption fees, the length of time the account is expected to hold the
position, and annual share class expenses (which include any 12b-1 fees).
Clients should understand that, depending on the mutual fund share classes offered by
the fund and the amount to be invested, client assets invested in mutual funds could be
invested in load-waived Class A shares, which charge a 0.25% 12b-1 fee.
Other Fees
CFSG typically recommends that Clients execute transactions for managed accounts
through Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”). As of the date of this Brochure,
Schwab charges a transaction fee of $10 for transaction fee mutual fund trades and no
fee for non-transaction fee funds, which typically have a higher expense ratio.
For equity trades, Schwab typically does not charge for equity trades ($25 service
charge

for broker-assisted trades). Schwab’s fees may vary from those disclosed above due to
particular circumstances of a transaction, additional or differing levels of servicing
required, or as otherwise contractually agreed upon with clients. Schwab may change its
fee schedule and transaction and service fees without notice. CFSG and its personnel do
not receive any portion of these transaction or service fees paid to Schwab.
Mutual funds and exchange traded funds in which client assets may be invested charge
their own management fees and other operating expenses, as described in each fund’s
prospectus. These fees and expenses are exclusive of, and in addition to, the fees paid
