Item #5: Fees and Compensation
A. Contravisory receives an investment management fee for managing client accounts. Each
account is valued at the end of each quarter. Invoices are generated using the quarter end
value and applying the following tiered fee schedule: 1.2% per annum for the first $1,000,000,
1.0% per annum for next $1,000,000 and 0.8% per annum for amounts over $2,000,000. These
fees are payable quarterly in advance. Contravisory, in its sole discretion, may elect to modify
this fee outline when discussing individual agreements with clients and prospective clients. The
fee structure is negotiable.
B. Contravisory deducts management fees directly from client accounts quarterly in advance. A
limited number of client accounts are invoiced for management fees.
C. Contravisory is not a custodian and is not affiliated with any custodian banks or brokers. Clients
may incur custodian bank fees as well as transaction charges for trades done in client accounts.
For example, mutual fund transactions can incur a custodian transaction fee.
D. As disclosed above, management fees are paid in advance. If a client account closes,
Contravisory calculates a prorated refund by determining the daily fee amount for the current
quarter and multiplies it by the number of days remaining in the quarter after the termination
to come up with the reimbursement amount. Reimbursements are typically refunded to the
client within 30 days after the termination date.
E. Neither Contravisory nor any of its supervised persons receive or accept any compensation for
the sale of securities or other investment products, including asset-based sales charges or
service fees from the sale of mutual funds.
