ITEM 5: FEES AND COMPENSATION
A. Retirement Plan Fees
Prior to engaging LRA to provide advisory services, the client will be required to enter into
a written Investment Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”) with LRA setting forth terms and
conditions, including those fees under which LRA shall render its services. Such fees are
subject to negotiation under certain circumstances and at the sole discretion of the firm.
For 3(38) Services, LRA fees will typically range from 10-100 basis points, but can vary
based on advisory services provided.
LRA fees are subject to negotiation. For LRA affiliates, our advisory fee may be less than
what is assessed to other LRA clients.
LRA fees can vary based on advisory services to the plan and its participants, plan
demographics and characteristics. The frequency and assessment of LRA fees is outlined
within each client agreement. LRA may be compensated by ACH, check, on a monthly,
quarterly, or bi-annual basis and is based on AUM or a fixed fee. LRA fees are reviewed and
discussed with clients on an annual basis.
1. Fees Based on a Percentage of Assets Under Management (“AUM”)
Typically, LRA charges its management fee based on a percentage of the reported
market value of client’s retirement plan, as calculated by the client’s custodian, as of the
close of business on the last business day of the billing period. Pursuant to the signed
Agreement, LRA may bill the client in arrears or in advance, with such fees being
assessed on a periodic basis, which may occur monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually

Form ADV Part 2A
(the majority of LRA clients pay in arrears, and the billing terms and period are set forth
in each client’s Agreement). The actual percentage charged for these fees is based upon
various plan demographics and characteristics and will be indicated on the client’s
Agreement after being agreed to by both LRA and the client.
Generally, a minimum fee of $5,000 per year applies. The minimum fee level may be
waived at the sole discretion of LRA. Lower fees for comparable services may be
available from other sources. These fees may be negotiated by LRA under certain
circumstances, and at the sole discretion of LRA.
Should a client engage LRA for retirement plan consulting services in the middle of a
billing period, the Firm’s fees will be prorated based on the number of days that LRA
rendered its services during the billing period. In the event that LRA’s services are
terminated during a billing period, the annual fee shall be prorated through the date of
termination and any balance will be refunded to the client.
2. Fees Based on a Fixed Fee
LRA may, at its sole discretion, enter into Agreements with clients whereby its
management fees are paid pursuant to a fixed flat-fee basis rather than a percentage of
the client’s AUM. In these instances, our fixed fees typically range from $5,000 up to
$50,000. We do have a minimum fixed fee of $5,000 annually; however, this fee
level may be waived at the sole discretion of LRA.
B. Individual Health Savings Account Fees
LRA will charge an advisory fee based on assets under management for individuals with
Health Savings Accounts. LRA fees are disclosed to each individual investor.
C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients should understand that the fees described above are exclusive to LRA and do not
include certain charges imposed by third parties such as custodial fees, execution costs,
mutual fund fees and expenses, and fees charged by third party advisers. Client assets also
may be subject to transaction fees, brokerage fees and commissions, retirement plan
administration fees, 12b-1 fees, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees on
brokerage accounts and securities transactions. For mutual funds and ETFs, you may be
charged internal management fees, distribution fee and other expenses, which will be further
described in the funds’ respective prospectuses.
Notably, LRA will not receive any portion of these other fees and expenses.
Clients should understand that all custodial fees and any other charges, fees incurred in
connection with transactions for a client’s plan may be paid out of the assets in the account
and are in addition to the advisory fees charged by LRA. Furthermore, LRA will not
receive any portion of the fees or expenses charged by the client’s custodian. Please refer
to Item 12 of this Brochure for additional important information about the brokerage and
transactional practices of LRA.

D. Important Considerations
We are affiliated with Lawley, LLC through common control and ownership. Lawley, LLC
wholly owns two other financial planning and wealth management firms known as (1) Sgroi
Lawley Group, LLC (“Sgroi”) and (2) Georgetown Lawley Group, LLC (“Georgetown”).
Persons providing investment advice on behalf of LRA may also be IARs with our affiliate
Georgetown. In their capacity as IARs, these persons will receive asset-based fees that are
separate and apart from the fees that we charge at LRA. Because revenue is derived from
asset-based fees, this creates a conflict of interest. This conflict exists because IARs from
Georgetown are incentivized to grow your account rather than solely based on your needs.
Please refer to Item 4 (Advisory Business) for more detailed information regarding Sgroi
and Georgetown.
Certain representatives of LRA, in their individual capacities, are also registered
