Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Managed Discretionary Asset Fees
The Adviser bases its annual investment management fee for managed
discretionary assets upon a percentage (%) of the market value of the assets
and the specific types of investment management services provided. Encircle
Financial Strategies charges an annual fee of up to 1.6% of assets under
management. The Adviser may choose to charge a lower asset-based fee at
its sole discretion.
Financial Planning Fees
An initial meeting is scheduled with a prospective client, typically at no cost or
obligation. The prospective client may choose to provide financial documents
such as statements from investment accounts, employer provided retirement
plan accounts and tax returns for the Adviser’s review prior to the meeting.
During the first meeting, the Adviser and the prospective client will review the
client’s goals and objectives as well what the client desires from a financial
planning relationship. They will also review the services offered by Encircle
Financial Strategies. If the prospective client and Adviser agree that there is
value in working together another meeting will be scheduled. Adviser will
provide the prospective client with an estimate of the fee for the financial
planning services to be provided. Prior to that meeting, the client will provide to
Adviser financial documents necessary for the preparation of the plan. The
financial planning fee is quoted on a project basis and covers projected time
and expense associated in working with this client for a twelve-month period.
This includes gathering data, developing the written plan, reviewing the plan
with appropriate advisers, discussing the plan with the client, implementation,
and continuing to review, monitor and update the client’s affairs throughout the
ensuing twelve months. While hourly fees are $250 an hour, fees are negotiable
and will depend largely on the client relationship and complexity of the needs
of the client.
Generally, once the client verbally agrees to the personal financial planning
process, the process to develop the plan begins. Once the financial plan is
completed a meeting is scheduled to discuss the plan and the specific items to
be implemented with the client. Each financial plan and planning client is
different, as such, the number of meetings needed to progress to the final
financial plan stage will vary.
The financial planning fee is billed to the client within 180 days of the start of
the relationship and can be paid by the client in any manner suitable to the
client within 30 days of the invoice date. The financial planning fee shall be
Encircle Financial Strategies
mutually agreed upon in advance by and between the client and Encircle
Financial Strategies. Any such fee shall be separate from the asset-based
investment management fee. The Adviser reserves the right to waive some of
or the entire financial planning fee.
Educational Seminars/Workshops
Encircle Financial Strategies provides periodic educational seminars and
workshops to clients free of charge.
Billing of Fees
Encircle Financial Strategies investment management fees shall be assessed
quarterly, in advance, based on the asset values as of the day prior to the period
being billed. New accounts will be assessed a prorated fee dependent upon the
number of days remaining in the quarter. Encircle Financial Strategies’ clients
must provide their consent in advance to direct debiting of investment
management fees from their custodial account. The Investment Advisory
Agreement and the custodial/ clearing agreement authorize the custodian to
debit the client account for the amount of the Adviser’s investment management
fee, and to directly remit that investment management fee to EFS in compliance
with regulatory procedures. In the limited event that the Adviser bills the client
directly, payment in full is expected upon presentation of the invoice.
In the event an agreement is terminated, the client will receive a prorated refund
for fees paid in advance.
Other Fees
Unless clients direct otherwise or an individual client’s circumstances require,
the Adviser generally recommends Raymond James serve as the custodian
and broker dealer for client investment accounts. Raymond James may charge
transaction fees and/or commissions for effecting certain securities
transactions. Raymond James may charge transactions fees and/or
commissions for individual equity and fixed income securities transactions or
fees may be charged for certain no-load mutual fund transactions. In addition
to the Adviser’s investment management fee, custodian brokerage
commissions, and transaction fees, clients will also incur, relative to all mutual
fund and exchange traded fund purchases, charges imposed at the fund level
(e.g., management fees and other fund expenses).
For all services offered by the Adviser, the same or different services may be
offered by other firms at the same, higher, or lower fees.
Encircle Financial Strategies
Commission Transactions
The Adviser primarily recommends the purchase of no-load institutional class
mutual fund securities and/or exchange traded funds for implementing
investment recommendations. Encircle Financial Strategies does not actively
direct clients to traditional, full service /commission brokers. Most of the
