Global Investment Advisory LLC

Item 5 Fees and Compensation

Investment Advisory Service and TAMP Fees
Pursuant to an investment advisory contract signed by each client, or a Money Management
Agreement in the case of TAMP services for other financial advisors, the client will be charged a
monthly or quarterly investment advisory fee, payable in arrears or in advance. Fees payable in
advance are based on the value of portfolio assets of the account managed by the Advisor as of
the opening of business on the first business day of the billing period; fees payable in arrears are
based on the value of portfolio assets of the account managed by the Advisor as of the close of
business on the last business day of the billing period. New account fees will be prorated from the
inception of the account to the end of the first billing period.

Assets Under Management:                Maximum Annual Fee:
First $250,000                               2.75 %
$250,001 – $500,000                          2.50 %
$500,001 – $1 million                        2.25 %
Over $1 million                              2.00 %

These fees may be negotiated at the sole discretion of the Advisor. Asset management fees will
be directly deducted from the client account on a monthly or quarterly basis by the qualified
custodian. The client will be given written authorization permitting the Advisor to be paid directly
from their account held by the custodian. If funds are not in the account at the time of billing, assets
will be liquidated at Global Investment Advisory’s discretion in order to pay the Advisor’s fee. The
custodian will send a statement at least quarterly to the client.

All fees paid to Global Investment Advisory for investment advisory services are separate and
distinct from the expenses charged by mutual funds to their shareholders and the product sponsor
in the case of variable insurance products. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s

Global Investment Advisory                   Page 5

or variable product’s prospectus. These fees will generally include a management fee and other
fund expenses.

At no time will Global Investment Advisory accept or maintain custody of a client’s funds or
securities except for authorized fee deduction. Client is responsible for all custodial and securities
execution fees charged by the custodian and executing broker-dealer. The Advisor’s fee is separate
and distinct from the custodian and execution fees.

Certain investment advisor representatives of the Firm are also registered representatives of a
broker-dealer and/or licensed insurance agents. In such separate capacities, they may receive
commissions or other compensation for the sale of securities or insurance products. Clients are
not obligated to purchase products through these individuals in their separate capacities. This
arrangement presents a conflict of interest, as such individuals may have an incentive to
recommend products that generate additional compensation. The Firm addresses this conflict
through disclosure, its fiduciary duty to clients, and policies and procedures designed to ensure
recommendations are made in the best interest of clients.

A client may be able to invest in products recommended by the firm directly, without the services
of Global Investment Advisory. In that case, the client would not receive the services provided
by Global Investment Advisory, which are designed, among other things, to assist the client in
determining which products or services are most appropriate to each client’s financial condition
and objectives.

Commissions do not represent a majority of revenue from advisory clients. Global Investment
Advisory does not charge advisory fees in addition to commissions or markups.

Under the Firm’s TAMP/sub-advisory platform, GIA generally collects the advisory fee from the
client and may compensate one or more sub-advisors for portfolio management services. Sub-
advisors are typically compensated as a percentage of the advisory fee, although compensation
arrangements may vary depending on the strategy or agreement.

This compensation structure presents a potential conflict of interest in that GIA may have an
incentive to consider the cost of sub-advisory arrangements or the portion of the advisory fee
retained by the Firm when selecting or retaining sub-advisors or strategies, including proprietary
strategies where applicable.

The Firm seeks to mitigate this conflict through its fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of
clients, as well as through established due diligence, selection, and ongoing monitoring processes
designed to evaluate sub-advisors based on qualitative and quantitative factors.
