Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Illuminate's fee structure and compensation methodology is set forth below for each type of
engagement. A client's fee is set forth in each client's written agreement with Illuminate. Fees may be
reduced or waived in certain circumstances and are negotiable in Illuminate's sole discretion based on
such factors as the complexity of the client's situation, the composition of the client's account, and the
relationship of the client with Illuminate. Some clients may be under a different fee schedule because
their relationships were established under a prior fee schedule.
Virtual Family Office Services Fee
Illuminate Charges a fixed fee for Virtual Family Office Services engagements based upon the client's
stated needs and scope and complexity of services required. The fees begin at $75,000 annually. Any
fee amounts and changes to the fixed fee will be agreed upon within an Advisory Agreement.
Comprehensive Wealth Management Engagement Fee
For its Wealth Management Engagement fee, Illuminate charges an annual, fixed fee based upon a
percentage of a client's net worth. Illuminate charges the following fee structure:
Net Worth Fee
up to $4,000,000 $32,000 per year
$4,000,000 to $32,000 plus 0.60% above $4,000,000 of Net Worth per
$10,000,000 year
greater than $10,000,000 negotiable, starts at $68,000 per year
*Minimum total annual fee of $32,000.
A client's Net Worth includes: all cash and securities, cash value of life insurance policies, the value of
a second home, rental or business property, value in accounts held in employer deferred
compensation plans, subaccounts in insurance products such as variable annuities and equity indexed
annuities, home equity based upon fair market value less mortgage remainder. Net worth does not
include such things as: tangible assets like cars, boats, jewelry, art, etc., pensions or other income that
is paid out over a person's lifetime, or Social Security benefits, 529 college savings plans or children's
UTMA accounts, and donor-advised funds are also excluded.
For securities where ready valuation information is not available (e.g., hedge funds, private
placements, illiquid securities, derivatives, or other such situations), they are to be reviewed and priced
by Illuminate in good faith to reflect the security's fair and most recently available market value.
Illuminate recalculates the client's net worth annually for purposes of calculating its annual fee.
There is no minimum account size; however, clients receiving comprehensive financial planning
services and investment management services will be assessed a minimum annual fees as noted.
Because Illuminate has a minimum fee, there may be times when Illuminate's fees in this instance may
be higher than normally charged in the industry and that similar services may be offered by another
adviser at a lower fee. Illuminate in its sole discretion may waive or reduce the minimum fee, and at
times agree to a different fee structure for such reason as a prior relationship with a client.

custodian as part of the agreement and separate account forms provided by the Custodian. Fees will
be deducted from the Client's account by the Custodian. Illuminate will send a notice to the account's
custodian indicating the amount of the fees to be deducted from the account at each billing period.
