Fees and Compensation — Form ADV Part 2A (12/8/2021)
[Brochure]
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Mid-Continent charges investment management fees based on clients’ assets under
management. As a general matter, our current fee schedule is not negotiable.
The fee schedule on new equity and balanced accounts is:
Annual % of Assets Managed:
First $ 1 million 1.00%
Next $ 49 million 0.80%
Next $ 50 million 0.60%
Assets > $ 100 million 0.40%
There is a minimum relationship size of $2,000,000.
Exceptions to the minimum relationship size can be made in cases where accounts are expected
to grow through additional contributions or in cases where the new relationship is associated with
existing clients.
Assets that are held for clients in the “unsupervised” category are not charged a fee. These
assets are reflected on our statements as a courtesy to the client; MCC’s services do not include
investment management, review or monitoring services, nor investment recommendations or
advice relative to any of those “unsupervised” assets.
Accounts that were opened prior to the institution of this fee schedule are billed based on the fee
schedule in effect at the time the account was opened or according to negotiated rates.
Clients direct MCC to deduct the management fees from their account or receive an invoice for
payment. Fees are paid quarterly, in advance, based on the value of the client’s assets on the
last business day of the calendar quarter.

In addition to investment management fees, clients will also incur custodial fees and
brokerage/transaction costs (described in Item 12). The client’s custodian may impose other
fees, such as wire transfer fees and check charges.
Occasionally we invest, or recommend that our clients invest, in mutual fund or exchange-traded-
fund (“ETF”) shares. Each mutual fund or ETF pays fees, borne by its shareholders, to the
manager of the mutual fund or ETF and to other service providers to the fund. We base our
management fees, including mutual fund and ETF investments, on a percentage of the market
value of the assets in the client’s account. As a result, a client whose account is invested in a
mutual fund or ETF will bear the client’s proportionate share of the mutual fund or ETF’s fees and
expenses and pay a management fee to us for the same investment. In many cases, the client
could invest in the same mutual fund or ETF without paying a fee to us but would then not have
the benefit of the advice, review and monitoring we provide.
We charge our investment management fees quarterly in advance. If clients terminate our
services prior to quarter-end, they can request a refund of fees. The refund will be determined
by pro-rating the unearned fees.
