Item 5: Fees and Compensation

A. Fee Schedule

      Full Service Financial Planning Fees
      John E. Sestina and Company's Full Service Financial Planning fee is determined based on a net
      worth schedule. Account values are based upon the values (market value or fair market value in the
      absence of market value) of the client's accounts at the beginning of the relationship or at the client's
      annual renewal. All fees are agreed upon prior to entering into a contract with any client.
      The minimum annual fee for the first tier ($0-$500,000) has increased from $3,000 to $4,000. This

change is effective on April 1, 2022 for all new clients. All existing clients prior to April 1, 2022
are grandfathered at the prior minimum fee of $3,000.

Individual Portfolio Management Fees
 All assets under management are typically charged a 1% annual fee. In some cases this could be
     as high as 2% based on amount of client assets under management. The advisory fee is
        calculated using the average daily balance of the account during the billing period.
The fees for all services are generally negotiable and the final fee schedule is presented to each
client. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full refund of John E. Sestina and
Company's fees within five business days of signing the Investment Advisory Contract or Financial
Planning Agreement. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Investment Advisory Contract
immediately upon written notice.

“Individual Portfolio Management” services are included at no additional cost to those engaging in
Full Service Financial Planning with John E. Sestina and Company and is included as part of the
annual Full Service Financial Planning Fee.

B. Payment of Fees

      of the annual fee is due and payable upon acceptance of the Financial Planning Services Agreement
      and the remaining balance will be equally billed and payable quarterly. In certain circumstances,
      we may permit clients to pay their advisory fees on a monthly basis but in no event will the fees be

C. Client Responsibility For Third Party Fees

      Clients are responsible for the payment of all third party fees (i.e. custodian fees, brokerage fees,
      mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.). Those fees are separate and distinct from the fees charged
      by John E. Sestina and Company. Please see Item 12 of this brochure regarding broker-
      dealer/custodian.

D. Prepayment of Fees

      “investment adviser” that provides “investment advice” as defined under Section 3(21) of ERISA.
      Under this arrangement the Adviser is appointed by the plan sponsor or trustee to determine a
      recommended lineup of investments to be included in the Plan. These recommendations are

presented to the Plan Sponsor, who has the ultimate responsibility to accept or reject the
recommendation. The Adviser will not have any further responsibility to communicate
instructions to any third‐party, including the custodian, and/or third‐party administrator. The
Adviser will not communicate directly with the recordkeeper regarding administrative and
recordkeeping matters arising under the Adviser’s investment advisory agreement with the Plan
