Great Hill Advisory Ltd

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
​
 Please note, unless a client has received the firm’s disclosure brochure at least 48 hours prior to
signing the investment advisory contract, the investment advisory contract may be terminated by the
client within five (5) business days of signing the contract without incurring any advisory fees. How we
are paid depends on the level of advisory service we are performing. Please review the fee and
compensation information below. We define liquid assets as they are represented on the net worth
statements we maintain and include retirement and non-retirement assets.

Comprehensive Financial Planning - Retainer Fee
Great Hill Advisory, Ltd., also dba Bayside Tax and Wealth, has a quarterly retainer fee starting at an
annualized 0.7% of investable assets, with a minimum annual fee of $3,000 per year. The fee is
computed and billed in advance each quarter based on the total liquid assets as reported on the
clients net worth statement.​
​

After the first full year of service, if a client wishes to end our relationship during the year we will
refund the unearned prorated fee for the remainder of the quarter. If a client wishes to end the
relationship before the first full year is complete we have the right to bill the remaining amount of the
first full year fee.​
​

The initial fee covers a prorated current quarter and the following quarter.

Third Party Investment Advisors

Great Hill Advisory may coordinate with third-party investment advisers, private fund managers, or
outside investment managers to implement portions of a client’s investment strategy where we
determine those services may benefit the client.

In certain situations, Great Hill Advisory also provides separate non-investment advisory services,
including tax preparation, tax compliance, tax planning, bookkeeping, and related consulting services
to investment managers, private funds, or affiliated operating entities.

Compensation received for those non-investment advisory services is separate from advisory fees
paid by advisory clients. This arrangement creates a conflict of interest because Great Hill Advisory
has a financial incentive to maintain business relationships with entities whose investment products
or services may also be recommended to advisory clients.

Great Hill Advisory does not receive commissions, referral fees, placement fees, revenue sharing
payments, or compensation based upon client investment decisions unless otherwise specifically
disclosed. Recommendations involving outside investment managers are made based on Great Hill
Advisory’s assessment of client suitability, objectives, and overall financial circumstances.

Clients are under no obligation to utilize any investment manager or investment opportunity
recommended by Great Hill Advisory.

Other Types of Fees and Expenses
When implementing an investment recommendation, the client may incur additional fees such as
brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses. Clients may incur
certain charges imposed by broker-dealers, and other third parties such as custodial fees, deferred
sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other
fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual fund and exchange traded
funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges,
fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to our fee, and we shall not receive any portion
of these commissions, fees, and costs.​
​

We do not accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products including
asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds.
