ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION LIMITED NEGOTIABILITY OF ADVISORY FEES Although Disciplined Growth Investors Inc. has established the aforementioned fee schedules; we retain the discretion to negotiate alternative fees based on client circumstances and needs. These include the complexity of the client’s financial situation, assets under management, anticipated future additional assets, related accounts, portfolio style, account composition and reports, among other factors. The specific annual fee schedule will be identified in the contract between Disciplined Growth Investors, Inc. and each client. Clauses governing future contracts with other clients will not be accepted. Discounts not generally available to our advisory clients are offered to family members and friends of associated persons of our firm. GENERAL FEE INFORMATION TERMINATION OF ADVISORY RELATIONSHIP A client agreement can be canceled at any time, by either party, for any reason upon receipt of 30 days written notice or as guided by contract terms. As disclosed above, certain fees are paid in advance of services provided. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded. In calculating a client’s reimbursement of fees, we will pro rate the reimbursement according to the number of days remaining in the billing period. MUTUAL FUND FEES All fees paid to Disciplined Growth Investors Inc. for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds and/or ETFs held in our clients’ portfolios. These fees and expenses are described in each fund's prospectus; they will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses and where applicable a distribution fee. If the fund also imposes sales charges, a client will pay an initial or deferred sales charge. A client could invest in a mutual fund directly, without our services. In that case the client would not receive the services provided by our firm which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to each client's financial goals and objectives. Accordingly, the client should review both the fees charged by the funds to properly evaluate the advisory services being provided. ADDITIONAL FEES AND EXPENSES In addition to our advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the fees and expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers, including, but not limited to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker dealer when we effect transactions for the client's account(s). Please refer to the "Brokerage Practices" section (Item 12) of this Firm Brochure for additional information. GRANDFATHERING OF MINIMUM ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS Pre-existing advisory clients are subject to Disciplined Growth Investors Inc.'s minimum account requirements and advisory fees in effect at the time the client entered into the advisory relationship. Therefore, our firm's minimum account requirements will differ among clients. ADVISORY FEES IN GENERAL Clients should note that similar advisory services might be available from other registered or unregistered investment advisers for similar or lower fees. LIMITED PREPAYMENT OF FEES Under no circumstances do we require or solicit payment of fees in excess of $1,200 more than six months in advance of services rendered.
