Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure]
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The fees for participation in MAP are based on an annual percentage of your Program assets. The Program
Fee is comprised of three components: (a) the Advisor Fee, (b) the Platform Fee, and (c) the Manager(s) Fee.

The Program Fee is billed and collected quarterly in advance as noted on the SIS. For accounts billed quarterly,
the Program Fee is calculated at the beginning of each calendar quarter based on the fair market value of
your Program assets, including money market funds, interest, and reinvested dividends in the account, on
the last business day of the prior calendar quarter. The Custodian determines fair market value for fee
calculation purposes.

Fees are automatically deducted from your account, or from another billable account as directed by you. The
first payment is prorated based on the number of calendar days in the billing period. If you invest or withdraw
$10,000 or more in the account after the first day of a billing period, a prorated fee or rebate is calculated on
each eligible deposit or withdrawal with adjustments applied the subsequent month. If the account is
terminated prior to the end of the billing period, a pro rata portion of the Program Fee will be credited
(refunded) to you. The fees deducted, including the dates and amounts, are reflected on the statements sent
by Custodian. You should review those statements and the fees deducted. Any questions on the fees
deducted from your account should be directed to your IAR, or you may contact us at the number on the
cover page of this Brochure.

If you have more than one Program account, your accounts can be “householded” aggregating your accounts
for fee calculation purposes, which can help you qualify for a lower fee. A “household” is generally a group of
accounts having the same address of record or same Social Security number. Individual Retirement Accounts
(“IRAs”), SIMPLE IRAs and other personal retirement accounts generally can be combined for householding
purposes; however, other retirement plan accounts subject to ERISA and charitable remainder trusts cannot
be aggregated. Households are established through the IAR and must be requested by the client. Neither FSA
nor our IARs are responsible for identifying eligible accounts. A client is responsible for determining if they
have eligible accounts and ensuring those accounts remain eligible. FSA and our IARs earn higher fees if clients
elect not to household eligible accounts where available. Clients should discuss the Advisor fee and any
potential fee reduction available through householding with their IAR.

The Advisor portion of the Program Fee compensates your IAR for assisting in the design, implementation,
and ongoing monitoring of your investment plan. The Advisor Fee is negotiated between you and your IAR
but will not exceed 1.50% in FSP, SMA and UMA. The Advisor Fee charged depends upon a number of factors
including the amount of the assets under management, the nature and extent of other account relationships
between you and your IAR, the nature and complexity of the model portfolios, and other factors that the IAR
deems relevant. The Advisor Fee you negotiate will be different than the fees your IAR negotiates with other
clients or the fees other IARs negotiate with other clients for similar services. Your IAR may have a financial
incentive to recommend MAP to you. Your IAR may earn more compensation as a result of your participation
in this program than they might if you participated in other programs offered by FSA or paid separately for
investment advice, brokerage transactions and other services. The Platform Fee is assessed in each of the
program options and is non- negotiable.

Manager Fees apply in the FSP, SMA, and UMA. The Manager Fee in the SMA and UMA varies by the selected
SMA Manager, Sub-Manager or Model Provider and ranges between 0.02% and 0.65% of your Program
Assets. In the UMA, if your account has more than one Model Provider or Sub-Manager, the effective
Manager Fee will be a blend of all Model Providers’ and/or Sub- Managers’ fees weighted by the dollar
amount invested in each Model Portfolio. SMA Managers or Model Providers who charge no, or a nominal
fee are typically compensated by advisory fees from the propriety funds the SMA Managers or Model
Providers include in their models.

Account Minimums and Types of Clients — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure]
Item 7 – Types of Clients
FSA, through its IARs, offers investment advisory services to individuals, pension and profit sharing plans,
trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities other than those listed
here. Our clients can have both fee-based advisory accounts and commission-based brokerage accounts. Our
IARs can offer you advisory services, brokerage services, or both, depending on an IAR’s registrations and
qualifications, and on your preferences and needs.

The initial minimum account size for MAP options is listed below.

                                      Program                          Minimum
                              Fund Strategist Portfolios                 $5,000
                           Separately Managed Accounts                 $100,000
                             Unified Managed Accounts                  $100,000

The initial account minimum can, however, be waived at FSA’s discretion, considering various factors. Such
factors include, but are not limited to, length of client relationship, or combined values of other
household/family member accounts.

In the SMA program, should the SMA Manager require a higher minimum, the higher minimum will apply. In
the UMA program, the minimum account size for each model style is determined by the Model Provider or
Sub-Manager. For additional information regarding any restrictions imposed by a SMA Manager, Model
Provider, or Sub-Manager, please ask your IAR for their Form ADV Part 2A Brochure.
