the Investment Advisory Contract. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty
for a full refund of LSI's fees within five business days of signing the Investment Advisory
Contract. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Investment Advisory Contract with timely
notice to allow for refund of unearned fees to client’s account prior to transfer/withdrawal.

B. Payment of Fees
Payment of Portfolio Management Fees
Asset-based portfolio management fees are withdrawn directly from the client's accounts
with client's written authorization on a quarterly basis. Fees are paid in advance.
Payment of Financial Planning Fees
Financial planning fees are paid via check.
Hourly financial planning fees are paid in arrears upon completion.
C. Client Responsibility for Third Party Fees
Clients are responsible for the payment of all third-party fees such as custodian fees,
brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, and transactions fees. Those fees are separate from the
fees and expenses charged by LSI. Please see Item 12 for information about the
custodian/broker-dealer.
D. Prepayment of Fees
LSI collects fees in advance. Refunds for fees paid in advance will be returned within
thirty days to the client via check or return deposit back into the client’s account.
For all asset-based fees paid in advance, the fee refunded will be equal to the balance of the fees collected
in advance minus the daily rate* times the number of days elapsed in the billing period up to and
including the day of termination. (*The daily rate is calculated by dividing the annual asset-based fee
rate by 365.)
Supervised persons of LSI are also registered broker-dealer representatives of LSI. In
addition, supervised persons of LSI are licensed insurance agents. In these roles, they
accept compensation for the sale of investment products to LSI clients.
This is a Conflict of Interest
Supervised persons may accept compensation for the sale of investment products,
including asset-based sales charges or service fees from the sale of mutual funds to
LSI's clients. This presents a conflict of interest and gives the supervised person an
incentive to recommend products based on the compensation received rather than on
the client’s needs. When recommending the sale of investment products for which the
supervised persons receive compensation, LSI will document the conflict of interest in
the client file and inform the client of the conflict of interest.
Clients Have the Option to Purchase Recommended Products from Other Brokers
Clients always have the option to purchase LSI recommended products through
other brokers or agents that are not affiliated with LSI.
Commissions are not LSI's primary source of compensation for advisory services
Commissions are not LSI’s primary source of compensation for advisory services.
Advisory Fees in Addition to Commissions or Markups
Advisory fees that are charged to clients are not reduced to offset the commissions or
markups on investment products recommended to clients. |
