Item 5-Fees and Compensation

The specific manner in which our fees are charged is established in the Agreement. While certain
clients may be billed in arrears, we will generally bill our fees in advance on a quarterly basis
based upon the value of assets under management and/or advisement on the last day of the previous
quarter, as valued by the applicable custodian, or as otherwise dictated by the client’s Agreement.
The Agreement also addresses the application of fees with respect to accrued interest. The
Agreement and/or the separate agreement with any financial institution(s) authorizes us, or a third-
party service provider engaged by us, to invoice the custodian for the advisory fee. The Agreement
further authorizes the custodian to deduct the amount stated in the fee statement from one or more
of the client’s accounts in accordance with applicable custody rules. The custodian does not
validate or check our fee or its calculation on the assets on which the fee is based. The custodian
will deduct the fee from the account(s) or, if the client has more than one related account(s), from
the account designated by the Firm and/or the client to pay our fees, as applicable. The custodians
with which our clients maintain accounts have agreed to send a statement to the client, at least
quarterly, indicating all amounts disbursed from the account including the amount of advisory fees
paid directly to us. We urge clients to carefully review such account statements for accuracy.

A client may make additions to and withdrawals from the account at any time, subject to our right
to terminate an account. As provided for in the client’s Agreement, if assets are deposited into an
account after the inception of a quarter that exceed the threshold set forth in the specific client’s
Agreement, the fee payable with respect to such assets will be prorated based on the number of
days remaining in the quarter. The Firm typically reserves the right to adjust the threshold upon
advance notice to clients. No threshold may be applicable, as set forth in the applicable Agreement.
If the Agreement is executed at any time other than the first day of a calendar quarter, our fees will
apply on a pro rata basis, which means that the advisory fee is payable in proportion to the number
of days in the quarter for which you are a client. The Agreement between us and a client will
continue in effect until terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. In the
event the Agreement is terminated, the fee for the final billing period will be prorated through the
effective date of termination, and the outstanding or unearned portion of the fee will be charged or
refunded to you, as appropriate.

Our management fee is negotiable, depending on individual client circumstances. A client may
withdraw account assets, subject to the usual and customary securities settlement procedures.
Clients should note that we design our portfolios as long-term investments and asset withdrawals
can impair the achievement of a client’s investment objectives. The applicability of the proration
as set forth herein is governed by the specific Agreement with each client. Clients should refer to
their applicable Agreements to understand the specific billing practices applicable to their assets.
As set forth in a client’s Agreement, we may charge a client fixed fees and apply an annual
adjustment of an agreed-upon percentage.

Additions may be in cash or securities provided that we reserve the right to liquidate any
transferred securities or decline to accept particular securities into a client’s account. We may
consult with our clients about the options and ramifications of transferring securities. However,
clients are advised that when transferred securities are liquidated, they are subject to transaction

fees, fees assessed at the mutual fund level (i.e. contingent deferred sales charge) and/or tax
ramifications.

For a limited portion of client accounts, we utilize the Adhesion Wealth unified managed account
program to access third-party money managers for certain client accounts. Accounts in Adhesion
Wealth unified managed account program are charged an additional annual fee of 0.08% by
Adhesion Wealth and an annual third-party manager fee up to 0.50% depending on the manager(s)
selected, in addition to our annual advisory fee. We make available and, where appropriate and
permitted by applicable law, may select our own manager option within the Adhesion Wealth
unified managed account program to manage client accounts. Clients will receive statements from
the custodian that present the fees charged to accounts and may also ask us at any time for a
description and accounting of the annual advisory fees, additional annual advisory fees and
manager fees being charged.

Investment Advisory Fees

The structure and level of our advisory fee will vary by client based upon the services provided
and other considerations deemed relevant by the Firm and its IARs, but typically takes the form of
a percentage of assets under management and/or advisement, ranging up to 2.50% per annum. As
set forth in your Agreement, the Firm may apply a minimum fee. Unless otherwise agreed with a
client, advisory fees are applied to all assets under management and assets under advisement, if
applicable. Clients that receive financial planning and consulting services from the Firm in
addition to investment advisory services may be subject to an additional fee, which is added to the
advisory fee, in connection with such services. For consulting and reporting services, the structure
and level of fees will vary by client based upon the services provided and other considerations

Item 7-Types of Clients

IARs of the Firm generally provide investment advice to the following types of clients:
   • Individuals (including high net worth individuals)
   • Pension and profit-sharing plans
   • Trusts, estates, or charitable organizations
   • Corporations or business entities other than those listed above

As discussed elsewhere in this Brochure, we may impose minimum account size requirements
with respect to certain of our advisory services. In addition, certain third-party managers may
impose more restrictive account requirements and varying billing practices than us. In such
instances, we may alter our corresponding account requirements and/or billing practices to
accommodate those of the manager(s).
