Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Asset Management Fees
As compensation for its investment advisory services, the Firm is normally entitled to an annualized portfolio
management fee, which is usually calculated and paid as a percentage of assets under management. In some
instances, the Firm earns additional fees based on investment performance results (also referred to as an
incentive fee). For additional information, please refer to the “Performance-Based Fees” section (Item 6).

Advisory fees may vary. Asset management fees are negotiated on a client-by-client basis. Client requirements,
and other facts and circumstances are considered in determining the fee schedule. These include, but are not
limited to, the inception date of the account, the complexity of the client mandate, amount of assets to be placed
under management, anticipated future additional assets, related clients, portfolio style and composition, types of
securities held, portfolio customization and the nature of reporting requested, among other factors.
The asset-based fees that the Firm receives from model portfolio providers, sponsors or third parties to whom
the Firm licenses its strategies are separately negotiated with each party.
The terms and conditions, including fees for services, are mutually agreed to with clients prior to entering into
the IMA and are generally paid quarterly in arrears. The Firm’s customary practice is to provide quarterly invoices
to the client, or other party, as directed by the client. Such fees are typically paid to the Firm through the custodian
or other client designee. Upon termination of any IMA, any unearned fees will be promptly refunded and any
earned but unbilled fees will be invoiced.

advisers for lower fees.
General Information
Additional Fees and Expenses. In addition to the Firm’s advisory fees, clients are also responsible for the fees
and expenses charged by custodians and imposed by broker dealers and/or local exchanges, including, but not
limited to, any transaction charges imposed by a broker dealer with which an independent investment manager
effects transactions for clients’ portfolios. These charges, fees and brokerage commissions are exclusive of, and
in addition to, the Firm’s advisory fees. The Firm shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, or
charges, with the exception of research or brokerage products and services as permitted under the safe harbor
of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. For more information about brokerage
commissions and commission sharing, please refer to the “Brokerage Practices” section (Item 12) of this Form
ADV for additional information.
ERISA Accounts. The Firm is deemed to be a fiduciary to advisory clients that are employee benefit plans
pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income and Securities Act (“ERISA”) and regulations under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Internal Revenue Code”), respectively. As such, the Firm is subject to specific
duties and obligations under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code that include, among other things, restrictions
concerning certain forms of compensation. To avoid engaging in prohibited transactions, the Firm only charges
fees for investment advice regarding products for which the Firm and/or its “related persons” do not receive any
commissions or 12b-1 fees, or conversely, investment advice regarding products for which the Firm and/or its
“related persons” receive commissions or 12b-1 fees, however, only when such fees are used to offset the Firm’s
advisory fees.
