Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
General Fee Information
Fees paid to Financial Guidance Group are exclusive of all custodial and transaction costs paid to your
custodian, brokers or other third party consultants. Please see Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for additional
information. Fees paid to us are also separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual
funds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) or other investment pools to their shareholders (generally including
a management fee and fund expenses, as described in each fund’s prospectus or offering materials). Fees
paid to sub-advisor to whom we delegate certain responsibilities are paid by us. Information about sub-
advisors used is available in the sub-advisors Form ADV Part 2 Disclosure Brochure which is available upon
request. You should review all fees charged by funds, brokers, Financial Guidance Group and others to fully
understand the total amount of fees you pay for investment and financial-related services.
Ongoing Wealth Planning and Investment Management Fees
Financial Guidance Group offers a disciplined, risk-managed and tax-efficient portfolio management
solution to its clients. As noted above, ongoing wealth planning services are also provided in conjunction
with management of your portfolio for one all-inclusive fee. Fees applicable to these services are based
on a percentage of your assets under management (AUM), as follows:
Annual AUM Fee Quarterly AUM Fee
1.00% $0 - $1,000,000 0.25%
0.80% from $1,000,001 - $3,000,000 0.20%
0.60% from $3,000,001 - $5,000,000 0.15%
Fees are negotiable above $5,000,000
General Initial Client Minimum Portfolio Size
Client Age Range Minimum Portfolio Amount Required
40 years+ $500,000.00
Younger than 40 years $250,000.00
** All clients are subject to a $625.00 minimum quarterly fee. **
We believe a graduated portfolio minimum allows younger clients with simpler financial lives to engage us
at a reasonable fee, while recognizing that clients closer to retirement have more complex financial needs.
Financial Guidance Group may, at its discretion, make exceptions to the foregoing or negotiate special fee
arrangements where we deem it appropriate under the circumstances.
AUM fees are billed quarterly in advance, at one-fourth of the annual fee multiplied by the aggregate
market value of your accounts on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter. If the first period
of investment management for your portfolio is less than one full quarter, the fee is pro-rated for that
partial quarter.
Included in your account paperwork is a written authorization to your custodian to automatically deduct
the fees from your account and send the fees to Financial Guidance Group.1 If your account does not have
a sufficient cash or money market balance to cover the fees or is restricted from automatic debiting of fees,
securities in your account may be sold in an amount sufficient to cover the fees unless other payment
arrangements are made. Your account’s custodian will reflect the amount of the deduction on your
account statement.
Deposit and Withdrawals
You may make additions to your account at any time. Additional assets received in your account after it
is opened will be charged a pro-rata fee based upon the number of days remaining in the billing period.
For assets withdrawn by you, we have the option to refund management fees on a pro-rata basis.
Withdrawals made by you may require modifications and adjustments to be made to your portfolio to
correct your asset allocation.
Termination
You have five (5) business days after entering into an agreement with us to cancel investment management
services and not incur any fees charged by us. Thereafter, should you want to terminate investment
services on a day other than the last day of a calendar quarter, you will be refunded a prorated share of
the fees, if any, that have been prepaid for that quarter.
To terminate our investment management services, send a written notice to us at least 10 days prior to
the actual termination date. Include in the notice clear instructions on what you want done with your
account (i.e., liquidate the account, finalize all transactions and/or cease all investment activity). Once
we have received your termination notice and have implemented your instructions, we are no longer
responsible for the management of your portfolio.
1 Any alternative payment method must be agreed upon in writing in the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Standalone Wealth Planning Fees
Our standalone wealth planning fees are based on the following: size, complexity, and nature of your
personal and financial situation. The amount of time taken to analyze and summarize the plan as well as
perform the services desired by you will also be considered.
Comprehensive
All comprehensive planning services are offered on a fixed fee basis and will range from $3,000 to
$10,000 for the initial engagement. 2 The fee will be fully disclosed before you sign the Wealth Planning
Contract (“Planning Agreement”). The Planning Agreement will include the cost 3 to review your financial
information and prepare the comprehensive plan. One-half the fee will be due at the time the Planning
Agreement is signed with the remaining half due upon completion.
