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.

annual Full Service Financial Planning Fee.
B. Payment of Fees
Payment of Full Service Financial Planning Fees
Our Full Service Financial Planning fees are calculated and charged on a fixed fee basis and are
typically collected quarterly. The annual fee will be billed in four equal installments. One fourth
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

sale of investment products, including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of
mutual funds.

When the Adviser performs “3(21) Fiduciary Services,” the Adviser will act as a co-fiduciary
“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

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
