Total Annual Fee in dollars $35,000
As a percentage of assets 0.70%
Some client relationships exist wherein the fees are affected by certain situations
such as un-feed assets in a managed account or consolidation of assets across a
household.
Fee Billing
Investment advisory fees are billed quarterly, in arrears, meaning that the client is
invoiced after the three-month billing period has ended. Fees are collected quarterly
based on the valuation of the account made on the last business day of the quarterly
cycle (last day of the third month), then billed on or around the 16 th day of the
following month.
Fees are typically deducted from the designated client account to facilitate
collection. Upon request, a client can have the fees for a group of accounts deducted
from one account. Alternatively, a client can choose to be billed directly rather than
have the fees deducted from an account. Payment in full is expected upon invoice
presentation. Errors in fee calculation are rare because of regular monitoring, but in
the event a management fee is overcharged to a client account, the client will be
reimbursed the overcharged amount plus interest.
Miscellaneous Fees
Fees for Other Services
HCM offers other services that are charged separately from the investment advisory
fee. These services are as follows:
Tax services, including tax preparation
Foundation services
Investment consulting
Trust and Estate Fees
HCM charges additional fees for estate and trust settlement when a member of
HCM is serving as Personal Representative or Executor of an Estate, as Trustee of a
Revocable Trust upon the grantor’s death, or as Trustee of an Irrevocable Trust upon
a beneficiary’s death. Certain trusts (Insurance Trusts, Charitable Remainder Trusts,
and Probate Accounting on Irrevocable Trusts) also carry an additional annual
administration fee.
Pooled Investment Vehicles Fees
HCM runs a number of pooled investment vehicles (PIVs), which are funds of funds.
There are three fees involved with HCM’s PIVs:
1. As with any asset under management, HCM charges an investment
advisory fee based on the market value of the assets in the account. The
value of the PIV is included in the market value of the assets in the
client’s account.
Howland Capital Management LLC
The other two fees are included as part of the client’s dollar commitment to a
particular PIV:
2. HCM charges an administration fee that covers organizational, legal,
regulatory, tax preparation, and administrative expenses. Details on the
calculation of this fee are provided in the PIV’s offering documents.
3. The underlying funds in a PIV charge a management fee, which is
outlined in the PIV’s offering document. HCM does not charge a
performance-based fee on any of its PIVs.
Custodian Fees
Some custodians charge fees for activities including the following: brokerage (i.e.,
purchases and sales of securities), wire transfers, principal and income accounting
for irrevocable trusts, overnight check delivery, and account closings. These fees are
charged in addition to HCM’s investment advisory fee.
Fund Fees
HCM uses mutual funds and exchange traded funds to some degree in most client
accounts. These funds charge a separate management fee, which is deducted from
the net asset value of the funds and is paid by clients in addition to HCM’s
management fee. |
