Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Creekside Partners offers its financial planning, investment management and financial consulting
services on a fee basis, which may include fixed fees, but typically involve fees based upon assets under
management or advisement. We are a fee-only firm. This means that we do not sell any brokerage,
investment or insurance products, and we do not take commissions from investment product providers.
We neither accept nor pay finder’s fees; our sole source of fees is our clients. Fees are based on the
following schedule:
PORTFOLIO VALUE BASE FEE
First $2,000,000 0.75%
On the next $3,000,000 0.60%

Over $5,000,000 0.50%
In general, investment management services are prorated and charged quarterly in advance, based on the
value of assets under management as of the last day of the previous quarter. Following each quarter, the
advance quarterly fee charged for the prior quarter will be reconciled to a client’s account for amounts
deposited to and withdrawn from the client’s account during the quarter. In the event that a deposit
occurs during the quarter, the fee for that quarter will be recalculated at the end of the billing period and
we will bill the client a second fee pro-rata, in arrears, on the additional deposits. In the event that a
withdrawal occurs during the quarter, the fee for that quarter will be recalculated at the end of the billing
period and the client will be credited or refunded the pro-rated fee that was attributable to the amount of
the withdrawal.
In certain circumstances, investment management services for certain clients are prorated and charged
quarterly in arrears. Arrears billing applies only to a number of former clients of Wiiken & Gorman that
became clients of Creekside Partners.
In limited instances, we may consider negotiating fees depending upon the circumstances involved. For
example, if a client's assets are particularly large, or if a client seeks limited services, and if we believe
that it would be in the interest of the client and the firm to do so, the firm may be willing to negotiate
fees or fee structure. In any event, we would evaluate fees and fee structure relative to the nature of the
client and the intensity of the services expected to be provided. Some former clients of Wiiken &
Gorman pay a different flat annual retainer or basis point fee for financial planning and portfolio advice.
Additional Fees and Expenses
In addition to the advisory fees paid to Creekside Partners clients also incur certain charges imposed by
other third parties, such as broker-dealers, custodians, trust companies, banks and other financial
institutions (collectively “Financial Institutions”). These additional charges typically include securities
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, custodial fees, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund or
ETF in a client’s account, as disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund management fees and other
fund expenses), deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic
fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. The Firm’s
brokerage practices are described at length in Item 12, below.
Direct Fee Debit
Clients generally provide Creekside Partners with the authority to directly debit their accounts for
payment of the investment advisory fees. The Financial Institutions that act as the qualified custodian
for client accounts, from which the Firm retains the authority to directly deduct fees, have agreed to send
statements to clients not less than quarterly detailing all account transactions, including any amounts
paid to Creekside Partners.

Account Additions and Withdrawals
Clients retain the authority to make additions to their account at any time. Additions may be in cash or
securities provided that the Firm reserves the right to liquidate any transferred securities or declines to
accept particular securities into a client’s account. Clients retain the authority to make withdrawals from
their account at any time, subject to Creekside Partners’ right to terminate the advisory relationship if
account balances are significantly reduced thereby. Clients may withdraw account assets with or without
notice to Creekside Partners, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures.
However, the Firm generally designs its portfolios as long-term investments and the withdrawal of assets
will impair the timely achievement of a client’s investment objectives.
Creekside Partners consults with its clients about the options and implications of transferring securities.
Clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they are be subject to costs such as
transaction fees, short-term redemption fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (e.g., contingent
deferred sales charges) and/or tax ramifications.

Item 7. Types of Clients
Creekside Partners offers services to individuals, families and their related trusts. Creekside Partners
also advises a limited number of nonprofit corporations (i.e., foundations) and/or other business entities,
and company retirement plans. These other entities are generally connected with a family to which we
also provide services.
Minimum Account Fee
As a condition for starting and maintaining an investment management relationship, Creekside Partners
generally imposes a minimum quarterly fee of $875. This minimum fee causes clients with smaller
portfolios to incur an effective fee rate that is higher than the Firm’s stated fee schedule. Creekside
Partners may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive its minimum fee based upon certain criteria, including
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to be
managed, related accounts, account composition, pre-existing client, account retention, and pro bono
activities. |
