Item 5 – Fees and Compensation Fees for Money Management Services As a reminder to the reader, this section speaks to the methodology used in calculating a NEW CLIENT/PROSPECT’s fee; there is no intention to modify existing client fee schedules. The firm provides Money Management Services for a percentage of assets under management. As a reminder to the reader, the firm is a FEE-ONLY firm. That means 100% of the firm’s revenue is derived only from the fee the client pays. The firm does NOT collect any type of commission of any sort. As stated in Item 4, fees charged for Money Management services also cover any financial planning services I provide to clients. The standard fee schedule is 1.00% annually on the first $1,000,000 + 0.75% on the next $1,000,000 and 0.50% on the excess over $2,000,000. Unless an exception is granted, all clients will be charged a minimum annual fee of at least $10,000. The actual fee charged to each client can vary based upon the relative complexity of a client's specific circumstance. Factors that affect the fee include but are not limited to the following: the number of accounts, the amount of time involved in any transfers of accounts or assets, the organizational structure of the raw material with which the firm will produce an asset allocation schedule and investment policy statement, and the level of sophistication of the client which will impact the amount of time necessary to manage the account. The exact fee for services will be agreed upon and disclosed in the agreement for services prior to services being provided. Thus, to the extent the specific client's circumstance differs from the "normal" circumstance, suggesting a higher level of involvement and time commitment, a higher fee will result compared to other clients. Fees are billed quarterly in advance and are due on the first day of each quarter beginning with the contract date. Fees are calculated using the fair market value of the assets under management as of the last trading day of the prior quarter. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Deduction of Fees from Client Accounts Fees are generally deducted directly from the client’s account. Clients must provide the custodian with written authorization to have fees deducted from the account and paid to Mark Bell Advisory Services. See Item 15 of this Disclosure Brochure for information regarding custody. Other Fees and Expenses Clients do not pay front end or back end loads. Brokerage commissions and/or transaction ticket fees charged by the custodian will be billed directly to the client. Mark Bell Advisory Services is a FEE ONLY advisor and thus, has never and will never receive any portion of such commissions or fees from the custodian or client. Please refer to Item 12 – Brokerage Practices for more information. In addition, clients incur (in very rare instances) certain charges imposed by third parties other than Mark Bell Advisory Services in connection with investments made through the account, including but not limited to, 12b-1 fees and IRA or qualified retirement plan fees. These types of third-party fees can be incurred if client has a 401k plan which is NOT custodied at Charles Schwab and that has limited offerings available to the client, which incorporate these types of charges. Management fees charged by Mark Bell Advisory Services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by investment company Mark Bell Advisory Services, Inc. Disclosure Brochure securities recommended to clients. A description of these fees and expenses are available in each investment company security’s prospectus. Termination of Services Either party can terminate the Money Management Services by providing five days’ written notice to the other party. Upon termination, at the written request of the client, any unearned portion of fees paid in advance to shall be refunded (determined by proration on a daily basis), less reasonable start-up expenses of up to $1,000 (applies to a new client only). If a client terminates services within five days of the date of executing an agreement, there will be no penalty (less reasonable start-up expenses of up to $1,000). In this event the client must be aware that any investment recommendation implemented by Mark Bell Advisory Services during the initial five-day period and prior to receipt of the notice from the Client terminating this Agreement shall be at Client's sole risk. |
