Hourly Fees
FCA is not for hire on an hourly basis.
Collecting Fees
In general, accounts under management will have their fee deducted from the accounts that are being managed. Clients will receive a
notice of the quarterly fee amount in their quarterly report.
Other Fees
Clients may pay for transaction fees through a custodian. We use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. as a custodian for individual investment
accounts and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., or John Hancock for 401k accounts. We use CollegeInvest for Colorado 529 plans. These fees
are reasonable and customary for buying and selling securities. Some exchange traded funds and mutual funds at Charles Schwab &
Co., Inc. do not have a transaction fee. FCA, Inc. does not receive any compensation from Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., John Hancock, or
CollegeInvest. It is possible that lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.
Compensation from Investment Products
FCA, Inc. does not receive any compensation or commissions from the sale of investment products. FCA, Inc. specializes in no-load
and low transaction fee investments. We mitigate this risk by always putting our clients’ best interest first.
Brokers
We primarily use Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. as a broker due to their discounted fees, vast selection of investment choices, trading
efficiencies, as convenience to the client, added protection for the client, and as an efficiency for our own business. Clients do have
the option to purchase investment products that we recommend through other brokers or agents that are not affiliated with us. |
