Item 5 Fees and Compensation
A.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Registrant provides discretionary investment advisory services on a fee basis. The
Registrant’s annual investment advisory fee is calculated on a percentage of the market
value of the assets placed under the Registrant’s management. The Registrant’s annual
investment advisory fee shall vary from 0.25% up to 1.25% and shall be based upon various
factors including the investment objective, the amount of assets to be invested and the
complexity of the engagement.
B. Clients may elect to have the Registrant’s advisory fees deducted from their custodial
account. Both Registrant’s Investment Advisory Agreement and the custodial/clearing
agreement may authorize the custodian to debit the account for the amount of the
Registrant’s investment advisory fee and to directly remit that management fee to the
Registrant in compliance with regulatory procedures. In the limited event that the
Registrant bills the client directly, payment is due upon receipt of the Registrant’s invoice.
In most cases, the Registrant shall deduct fees and/or bill Clients quarterly in advance,
based upon the market value of the assets on the last business day of the previous quarter.
Registrant may charge a lesser investment advisory fee, charge a flat fee, or waive its fee
entirely based upon certain criteria (i.e. anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated
future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, account
composition, complexity of the engagement, grandfathered fee schedules, Registrant
employees and family members, courtesy accounts, competition, negotiations with client,
etc.). As a result, similarly situated clients could pay different fees. In addition, similar
advisory services may be available from other investment advisers for similar or lower
fees. ANY QUESTIONS: Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, Debora Covell,
remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding advisory fees.
C. As discussed above and below, unless the client directs otherwise or an individual client’s
circumstances require, the Registrant shall generally recommend that Charles Schwab &
Co., an SEC-registered and FINRA/SIPC member broker-dealer/custodian (“Schwab”)
serve as the broker-dealer/custodian for client investment management assets. Broker-
dealers such as Schwab charge brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees for effecting
certain securities transactions. In addition, client accounts may invest in open-end mutual
funds (including money market funds) and ETFs that have various internal fees and
expenses (i.e. management fees), which are paid by these funds but ultimately borne by
clients as a fund shareholder. These internal fees and expenses are in addition to the fees
charged by the Registrant.
The Fund. Clients whose assets are invested in the Connors Hedged Equity Fund (the
“Fund”) described in Item 4 above, thereby creating a conflict of interest, are subject to the
internal fees and expenses charged by the Fund. A portion of those fees includes a
management fee paid to the Registrant. The current (subject to change) annual management
fee paid to the Registrant is .80% (subject to any contractually agreed-upon expense
reimbursement outlined in the Fund’s prospectus). Client assets invested in the Fund are
excluded from the Registrant’s investment advisory fee discussed in Item 4 above. The
Registrant’s only compensation for assets invested in the Fund is the management fee
payable to the Registrant at the Fund level. However, the amount of fee payable to the
Registrant at the Fund level could provide an incentive to the Registrant to allocate assets
to the Fund, thereby creating a conflict of interest. . For example, if a client has negotiated
a 0.50% annual investment advisory fee with the Registrant, the Registrant has an incentive
to invest all or a portion of the client’s assets into the Fund if the client’s investment
advisory fee discussed above is less than the management fee payable to the Registrant at
the Fund level. Please Note: A client can advise the Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer,
Debora M. Covell, in writing, to limit the amount of assets to be invested in the Fund. ANY
QUESTIONS: The Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, Debora M. Covell,
remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding the above conflict of interest.
Margin Accounts: Risks. Registrant does not recommend the use of margin for
investment purposes. A margin account is a brokerage account that allows investors to
borrow money to buy securities and/or for other non-investment borrowing purposes. The
broker/custodian charges the investor interest for the right to borrow money and uses the
securities as collateral. By using borrowed funds, the customer is employing leverage that
will magnify both account gains and losses. Please Note: The use of margin can cause
significant adverse financial consequences in the event of a market correction. ANY
QUESTIONS: Our Chief Compliance Officer, Donna Savastani, remains available to
address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the use
of margin.
D. Tradeaway/Prime Broker Fees. Relative to its discretionary investment management
services, when beneficial to the client, individual equity and/or fixed income transactions
may be effected through broker-dealers other than the account custodian, in which event,

Item 7 Types of Clients
The Registrant’s clients generally include individuals, high net worth individuals, pooled
investment vehicles, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable
organizations, investment partnerships, a registered investment company, and business
entities. The Registrant generally requires a $500,000 minimum asset level for investment
management services. The Registrant, in its sole discretion, may waive its minimum asset
requirement based upon certain criteria (i.e. historical relationship, type of assets,
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with the client,
etc.). |
