Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Description
Wealth Management
As discussed in the “Types of Advisory Services” section above, financial
planning services (e.g. retirement planning and projections, tax minimization
strategies, insurance needs analyses and reviews, advice on debt
management and education funding, etc.), as needed or requested by the
client, are included in Wealth Management fees.
The vast majority of Wealth Management client accounts are held by our
recommended/preferred independent custodian, Charles Schwab, and these
will be referred to below as “custodial” accounts. By necessity or choice,
however, some retirement plan accounts, annuities, and cash value life
insurance policies under our management may be custodied elsewhere, and
these will be referred to as “held-away” accounts or “client-directed” custodial
arrangements.
“Custodial” Accounts Under Our Management – Custodial accounts under
our management will be listed in the client’s initial Investment Policy
Statement. For clients with custodial accounts under our management, the
client will be required to provide a written authorization (included as part of
Charles Schwab’s account applications) permitting our fees to be paid directly
from the client’s account(s). Client fees will be billed in arrears, meaning that
Five Seasons will invoice the client after the three-month billing period has
ended, and fees will be based on the amount of client assets under our
management at the end of every quarter. At this time, Five Seasons will send
a statement to the client showing the amount of the fee, the amount of client
assets on which the fee was based and the method by which the fee was
calculated. It will be the client’s responsibility to check the accuracy of the fee
calculation; the custodian will not determine whether the fee is properly
calculated. The resulting amount disbursed from the client’s account(s) will
be included in the periodic account statements sent from the custodian to the
client.
Five Seasons Financial Planning
Five Seasons Financial Planning applies the following fee schedule for
Wealth Management custodial accounts. This is a “blended” fee schedule.
This means that the assets in a client’s account will be billed at different levels
according to the fee following fee:
Quarterly Equivalent
Assets Under Management Annual of Annual
At End of Quarter Advisory Fee* Advisory Fee
For the First $250,000 1.00% 0.25%
For the Next $250,000 0.90% 0.225%
For the Next $500,000 0.80% 0.20%
For the Next $1,000,000 0.70% 0.175%
For the Next $3,000,000 0.60% 0.15%
For Amounts Above $5,000,000 0.50% 0.125%
*Billed quarterly.
In addition to the fees illustrated in the schedule above, Five Seasons will
charge the client a 0.5% annual advisory fee (0.125% quarterly) for managing
any custodial account balances allocated to individual equity securities (as
differentiated from equity mutual funds).
This creates a conflict of interest in that there is an economic incentive for
Five Seasons to recommend individual equity security strategies because we
charge a higher fee. Five Seasons has taken steps to manage its conflict of
interest arising from its use of different fee rates/schedules whereby the
decision as to whether or not individual equity securities will be a part of a
given client’s account(s) under management will be made by mutual
agreement between Five Seasons and the client during the development of
the Investment Policy Statement (for more information on the IPS, please
refer to the description of Wealth Management services under the “Types of
Advisory Services” heading above). Only a small minority of Wealth
Management custodial accounts contain individual equity securities. Five
Seasons will only recommend the change of asset classes or investment
products when in the best interest of the client and without regard to the
financial interest of Five Seasons.
Any custodial client account balances that are allocated to cash and cash
equivalents (e.g. Money Market funds), solely to meet the client's short-term
financial obligations and/or the client's need for income (as described in the
Investment Policy Statement), will not be subject to fees. In addition, the first
Five Seasons Financial Planning
quarterly Wealth Management fee will be prorated according to the actual
number of days any client accounts are being managed by Five Seasons.
“Held-Away” Accounts Under Our Management – “Held-away” accounts
under our management will also be listed in the client’s initial Investment
Policy Statement. Some “held-away” custodians offer clients the ability to
allow their financial advisors to withdraw advisory fees directly from these
“held-away” accounts under our management. Clients without any Custodial
Accounts under our management may take advantage of this facility to pay
our fees if it is available. In this case, the client must consent in advance to
direct debiting of their investment account(s).
As with Custodial Accounts, client fees will be billed in arrears, meaning that
Five Seasons will invoice the client after the three-month billing period has
ended, and fees will be based on the amount of client assets under our
management at the end of every quarter. At this time, Five Seasons will send

Item 7 - Types of Clients
Description
Five Seasons Financial Planning generally provides investment advice to
individuals, families, and trusts. Advice may extend to entities related to the
client such as small businesses and charitable organizations, including
foundations and endowments. Client relationships vary in scope and length
of service.
Account Minimums
Wealth Management
In offering Wealth Management services, Five Seasons Financial Planning
generally requires a minimum initial dollar value of client investment assets
under management of $500,000. However, this condition may be waived if
the client's financial circumstances indicate that that level will be attained in
the near future. Other exceptions may apply to relatives of firm principals, or
to relatives of existing clients, or to referrals from existing clients.
Furthermore, if Five Seasons is being engaged to create and supervise a
portfolio of individual equity or fixed-income securities (as opposed to mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds, and closed-end funds), we may require a
higher minimum account size in order to generate an adequate degree of
diversification without incurring excessive transaction costs. In this case, the
minimum asset level will be dependent on the proposed types of investments
(e.g. individual stocks and fixed-income securities versus mutual and
exchange-traded funds) and on the diversity and quantity of client assets not
under our management. |
