engagement with the client. The maximum hourly fee to be charged will not exceed $350. Flat fees
range from $1,500 to $10,000. Our Firm requires a retainer of 50% of the ultimate financial planning
or consulting fee at the time of signing. The remainder of the fee will be directly billed to the client
and due within 30 days of a financial plan being delivered or consultation rendered. Our Firm will not
require a retainer exceeding $1,200 when services cannot be rendered within 6 months.
Other Types of Fees & Expenses
Clients will incur transaction charges for trades executed in their accounts. These transaction fees
are separate from our Firm’s advisory fees and will be disclosed by the chosen custodian. Clients can
also pay charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund, which shall
be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees, initial or deferred sales charges,
mutual fund sales loads, 12b-1 fees, surrender charges, variable annuity fees, IRA and qualified
retirement plan fees, and other fund expenses). Clients invested in private funds are subject to certain
fees, including a management fee, performance or incentive fee and other fees and expenses, which
are outlined in the fund’s offering documents. Our Firm does not receive a portion of these fees.

Either party has the authority to terminate the advisory agreement signed with our Firm for Asset
Management and Comprehensive Portfolio Management services in writing at any time. Upon notice
of termination or mutually agreed upon date, pro-rata advisory fees for services rendered to the point
of termination will be charged. If advisory fees cannot be deducted, our Firm will send an invoice for
due advisory fees to the client.
