Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Gould’s fees are determined by many factors, including, but not limited to, a client’s investment
objectives, the size of the investment portfolio to be managed, any applicable portfolio
restrictions, and the scope of the overall engagement. A client’s risk tolerance and corresponding
investment objectives may be determined through discussions with Gould employees, the use of
risk tolerance questionnaires, and/or by a third-party financial adviser. All fees and account
minimums are negotiable, including accounts managed on a sub-advisory basis. Gould prices its
services based upon various objective and subjective factors. As a result, Gould clients could pay
different fees based upon the market value of their assets, the complexity of the engagement, and
the level and scope of the overall investment advisory and/or consulting services to be rendered.
As a result of these factors, the services provided by Gould to any particular client could be
available from other advisers at lower fees. The specific way fees are charged by Gould is
established in a client’s written agreement with Gould.
Asset-Based Fees
Client fees are generally billed quarterly, in advance, based on the prior quarter-end market value
of the client’s account.
Any initial or subsequent deposit of cash and/or securities made on a day other than the first day
of a calendar quarter will be subject to a management fee charge for the prorated remainder of
the calendar quarter, provided both of the following conditions are met: (1) the market value of
the amount deposited is at least $100,000; and (2) the calculated prorated management fee
charge is at least $250.00. If either condition is not met, no partial-quarter management fee will
be charged. Any partial-quarter management fee due may be waived at Gould’s sole discretion.
Any withdrawal of cash and/or securities, including withdrawals made upon termination of the
investment advisory relationship, made on a day other than the first day of a calendar quarter will
receive a refund of a previously charged management fee for the prorated remainder of the
calendar quarter, provided both of the following conditions are met: (1) the market value of the
amount withdrawn is at least $100,000; and (2) the calculated prorated management fee refund is
at least $250.00. If either condition is not met, no partial-quarter management fee refund will be
made.
Gould does not make partial quarter fee refunds with respect to any Client withdrawal of funds
arising solely as a result of margin borrowing against the assets in the Client’s account. Likewise,
Gould does not assess partial quarter fee charges on any Client addition of funds having the sole
effect of reducing the Client’s margin borrowing balance.
Gould reserves the right to include accrued interest in the market value of accounts for the
purpose of calculating fees.
Gould generally relies on securities valuations provided by the client’s custodian on the date as of
which the fees are calculated. With respect to certain PE Funds and RE LLC investments that report
client account valuations with a material lag, Gould reserves the right to bill clients quarterly, in
advance, based on the most current valuation of the investment provided by the PE Fund sponsor
or RE LLC sponsor.

given client may be higher or lower, depending on the particular circumstances. Fee discounts may
be granted at Gould’s discretion based on a client’s total assets with Gould and/or within an
individual Gould investment strategy. Fees may be lowered or waived at Gould’s discretion. The
maximum gross asset-based fee charged by Gould is 2.00% per year, plus up to an additional
0.25% per year for certain non-standard accounts. Gould may also assess a minimum portfolio
management fee of up to $750 per quarter. Performance-based fees (see Item 6 below), if any,
are in addition to any applicable asset-based fee.

Investment minimums are described in Item 7, Types of Clients.
Gould deducts asset-based fees directly from client accounts, where possible. When it does so,
Gould sends the client a statement showing the amount of the fees, the value of the assets on
which they are based, and the supporting calculation. When direct fee deduction is not possible,
