Fees and Compensation
Description
We are compensated only by fees. We do not charge nor accept commissions for any product.
For portfolio management, we charge an annual fee ranging from 1.2% to 0.5% based on the
size of the portfolio and the complexity of the investments. Fees are generally not negotiable,
except at the discretion of the advisor. For financial planning done on an hourly basis, our basic
hourly rate is $250 an hour.

Fee Billing
We collect fees once a quarter. These may be deducted from the client’s portfolio or billed
directly to the client to be paid by check.

Other Fees
In addition to our fees for investment management, clients may pay brokerage fees for the
purchase of securities or mutual funds. Please refer to the section of this disclosure brochure
that discusses our selection of brokers. The mutual funds or Exchange Traded Funds (ETF’s)
that we invest in for clients will also have underlying fees. These may range from 0.1% to 2%.

Fees Paid in Advance
Our fees are billed for one quarter in advance, based on the portfolio value at the end of the
preceding quarter. If a client terminates their investment advisory relationship, we provide a
pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the quarter.

Additional Compensation
There are no additional sources of compensation that we accept.

Performance-Based Fees & Side-by-Side Management

Sharing of Capital Gains or Capital Appreciation
We do not accept performance based fees. Our only investment management compensation is
from our quarterly management fees.

Types of Clients

Description
Our clients are primarily individuals and families. Some of these clients have IRA’s, charitable
trusts, and other forms of trust that we manage on their behalf. We also accept foundations,
pension plans, family offices and other institutions as clients.

Account Minimums
Our account minimum is $1,000,000 in investable assets, with a $12,000 minimum annual fee.
This can be waived at our discretion.
