Gouws Capital LLC

Item 5 Fees and Compensation
General Fee Information
Fees paid to Gouws Capital are exclusive of all custodial and transaction costs paid to the client's
custodian, brokers or other third party consultants. Please see Item 12 - Brokerage Practices for
additional information. Fees paid to Gouws Capital are also separate and distinct from the fees and
expenses charged by mutual funds, ETFs (exchange traded funds) or other investment pools to their
shareholders (generally including a management fee and fund expenses, as described in each fund's
prospectus or offering materials). The client should review all fees charged by funds, brokers, Gouws
Capital and others to fully understand the total amount of fees paid by the client for investment and
financial-related services.

Portfolio Management Fees
The annual fee schedule, based on a percentage of assets under management, is 1.00%.

The minimum portfolio value is generally set at $250,000.. Gouws Capital may, at its discretion, make
exceptions to the foregoing or negotiate special fee arrangements where Gouws Capital deems it
appropriate under the circumstances.

Portfolio management fees are generally payable quarterly, in advance. If management begins after
the start of a quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. With client authorization and unless other
arrangements are made, fees are normally debited directly from client account(s).

Either Gouws Capital or the client may terminate their Investment Advisory Agreement at any time,
subject to any written notice requirements in the agreement. In the event of termination, any paid but
unearned fees will be promptly refunded to the client based on the number of days that the account
was managed and any fees due to Gouws Capital from the client will be invoiced or deducted from the
client's account prior to termination.

General Consulting Fees
When Gouws Capital provides general consulting services to individual clients or to other investment
advisers, these services are generally separate from Gouws Capital's portfolio management services.
Fees for general consulting are negotiated at the time of the engagement for such services, and are
normally based on a fixed fee basis.

Additional Fees and Expenses
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in
exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory services are separate
and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by exchange traded funds (described in each fund's
prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally include a management fee and other fund
expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage fees when purchasing or selling
securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian through
whom your account transactions are executed. We do not share in any portion of the brokerage

fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian. To fully understand the total cost
you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by exchange traded funds, our firm, and others.
For information on our brokerage practices, refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure.
