ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES Fees charged for ongoing investment advisory services vary from client to client and are agreed upon prior to engagement. Some investment advisory client fees are charged an annual flat fee when combined with additional planning services. Flat fees vary based upon the scope of the engagement. Other clients are charged a fee as a percentage of assets. Annual fees range from 0.20% to 0.70% per year based on the value of the managed portfolio and scope of services Comstock provides. For new clients, Comstock generally requires a minimum of $10,000,000 in assets under management. Exceptions to the minimum are made at the sole discretion of Comstock. Fees applying to new clients could be greater than to existing clients having the same portfolio complexity and value. The fixed annual flat fee is typically greater on a percentage of assets basis than its standard portfolio management fee rate, due to the additional services provided. Flat fees will increase by 3% annually to account for inflation. The increased fee is made effective with the Q1 billing and applies through the Q4 billing of that year. Fees are billed quarterly in advance. Comstock will provide written notice in advance of the annual fee increase. Typically, Comstock charges a fee for the initial review of portfolio allocation, financial and estate planning, succession issues and other factors that often impact a client’s financial goals. This review is called a Present Position Analysis (PPA) and fees will typically range between $25,000 and $150,000 and will be agreed upon prior to engagement. This analysis is available either as a standalone engagement or as part of an ongoing engagement. Comstock also advises individual donors of public nonprofit organizations on specific gift recommendations and provides assistance to the donor's advisors. Such services are provided on a pre-agreed upon fee prior to services being rendered. When appropriate, fees are charged based on a project fee or monthly retainer and are determined based on the specific needs of the client. GENERAL PROVISIONS The fee quoted under any of the above advisory services is based on the complexity of the circumstances presented by the client. All fees are agreed to in advance and are only subject to change if agreed upon by the client in writing. Comstock does not price any securities and relies instead on recognized and independent pricing services and/or qualified custodians for timely valuation information for advisory client securities and portfolios. For securities in which valuation information is not readily available from independent sources, e.g., hedge funds, private placements, illiquid securities, etc., Comstock relies on the issuer to provide valuation information to both the clients and the custodians that hold such securities. Page 8 of 17 March 2026 Comstock’s fees and the method of payment of the fees are clearly described in each client’s investment consulting agreement. Ongoing client fees are invoiced on a monthly or quarterly basis according to the client’s preference. Fees are billed in advance, and when charged on a percent of assets under management, Comstock uses the valuation provided by each account’s custodian. All invoices are due and payable within 30 days of receipt. In some cases, Comstock may allow fee arrangements in which fees are paid in arrears. The specific terms of all fee arrangements will be dictated by the terms outlined in the client’s investment consulting agreement. If fees are to be deducted from a client’s custodial account, the client must give permission in writing before a deduction occurs. Ordinarily the client grants this authority in the custody agreement and application provided by the delegated custodian. When such is the case, Comstock sends an invoice to the client, detailing the value of the account at the time the fee calculation was made, the exact basis on which the fees were calculated (i.e., the percentage applied to the assets under advisement), and the dollar amount of fees to be deducted. Otherwise, clients pay by check or wire. Fees under any of the advisory engagements may be canceled within the first 5 business days after the initial engagement without penalty. If a client terminates the engagement after 5 business days, but within 30 days, and prior to the work being completed, a 50% refund of the initial fee paid will be made. If work has been in progress for more than 30 days but less than a year, a refund of 25% of the prepaid fee will be made. Notice of termination must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt by Comstock. Fees charged by funds, custodians, banks and or managers are in addition to any fees paid to Comstock. Fees for all advisory services are likely to vary from client to client with similar sized portfolios and are determined upon the specific circumstances of each engagement. Therefore, some clients will be paying more than others. FEES FOR STAND ALONE PROJECTS Many of Comstock’s engagements are project specific, including the Present Position Analysis, and are charged on a one-time basis. When such is the case, ½ of the agreed upon fee is due upon engagement. The balance is due upon the client’s agreement that the work has been completed, which is usually within 6 months. Comstock serves as an expert witness in investment dispute circumstances under a pre- agreed upon project fee. Comstock also provides additional planning services on a stand-alone project basis, as needed. Fees for such services are mutually agreed upon prior to engagement. In some ... |
