| Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (3/31/2026) [Brochure] |
|---|
Item 5. Fees and Compensation
HTK and Advisers charge fees based on the type of advisory services provided to the client. Certain fees are
negotiable and may include hourly fees, fixed fees, or a percentage of assets under management.
Fee Determination
Fees that are charged will consider the following factors:
− The complexity and time involved in the work performed.
− The degree of responsibility HTK and the Adviser have over the account.
− The needs and characteristics of the client.
− The types of investments and the costs involved in providing the service(s) selected.
Billing and Refunds
Fees may be billed in advance or in arrears. Clients paying in advance may be entitled to a prorated refund of
any prepaid fees for services not received upon termination of the agreement.
Detailed information regarding fees and compensation for each of the HTK advisory services programs is provided
immediately below.
Fees for Advisory Services with TPAMs
For advisory services with TPAMs, HTK charges up to 1.5 percent (1.5%) of the client's account value. This does
not include manager fees and other charges associated with the TPAM program.
HTK Page 7 of 23
Co-Advisory Fee Structure
When HTK and its Adviser act as Co-Adviser, taking a more active role in advisory services provided to the client,
a portion of the advisory fee charged by the TPAM is paid to HTK and the Adviser. In some cases, the Adviser may
add a fee to the TPAM fee for performance of certain advisory services. Clients should review the investment
advisory agreement and the TPAM’s Disclosure Brochure for further information regarding the advisory fee
charged for the selected TPAM. For details related to specific TPAM fees, please see the applicable TPAM
Disclosure Brochure.
Promoter Fee Structure
When HTK and its Advisers act as a Promoter and introduce consumers to the TPAM, the TPAM pays HTK a
Promoter Fee. In some instances, HTK and the Adviser will share the Promoter fee; in other cases, HTK may
assess a separate fee in addition to the Promoter fee. The Promoter Disclosure Statement, provided to consumers
at the time of referral, will specify the fee paid to HTK.
Cost Comparisons and Discounts
The same or similar services to those described above may be available elsewhere to clients at a lower cost,
including through a wrap fee program. HTK offers some employees, its Advisers, and family members a discount
or waiver of some or all fees.
Financial Planning and/or Consulting Services Fees
For Financial Planning and/or Consulting Services, HTK fees are negotiable and may vary based on the complexity
of the consumer’s profile and the services requested. When an Adviser maintains their own fee schedule, the
cost of similar services provided by that Adviser may be higher or lower than the fees quoted by another Adviser,
with the specific fees and services applicable to financial planning or consulting engagements detailed in the
Financial Planning and/or Consulting Services Agreement. Consumers are invoiced for these services, with all
payments for Financial Planning or Consulting Services processed through AdvicePay, an unaffiliated service
provider. If a consumer terminates an agreement before the plan or consultation is completed, any unearned
prepaid fees will be refunded upon the provision of written notice to HTK.
Retirement Plan Consulting Services (RPCS)
For Retirement Plan Consulting Services (RPCS), HTK charges a fee based on a percentage of assets held in the
retirement plan up to 1%, an hourly basis up to $500 per hour, or a negotiated flat rate. These fees for advice
and services provided to ERISA retirement plans are negotiable between HTK and the client, and HTK shares a
percentage of the RPCS fee with the Adviser based on their specific agreement. If fees are paid prior to the
delivery of services, the retirement plan is entitled to a prorated refund of any prepaid fees for services not
received upon the termination of the agreement among the client, HTK, and the Adviser. Further details
regarding RPCS fees and mandatory regulatory disclosures are provided in HTK’s Section 408(b)(2) Disclosure
Statement, as required by the Department of Labor.
Other Fees and Expenses
TPAM Compensation and Revenue Sharing
HTK may receive certain fees from TPAMs for conferences, events, and marketing support services. This
compensation presents a conflict of interest, as there is an incentive for HTK and its Advisers to recommend
these TPAMs to clients.
Additionally, HTK may enter into revenue share arrangements for direct assets under management with certain
TPAMs. Under these arrangements, HTK may be paid a percentage of the assets invested. This compensation is
in addition to other payments or fees payable under separate agreements. These arrangements may create a
conflict of interest, as HTK and its Advisers are incented to choose a TPAM that provides revenue sharing.

Commissions and Product Sales
Advisers providing financial planning and/or consulting services may also receive compensation from HTK or its
affiliates in connection with the sale of recommended financial products.
− Securities Transactions: If a consumer implements a recommendation to purchase or sell securities
through an HTK Adviser, HTK and the Adviser will receive commissions or other compensation. This
creates a conflict of interest, as there is an incentive to recommend products based on compensation
rather than solely on client needs.
− Client Choice: Clients are under no obligation to execute transactions through the Adviser and may utilize
unaffiliated representatives.
− No Fee Offsets: HTK does not reduce its advisory fees to offset commissions or markups.
