Paradigm Wealth Management LLC

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation

In addition to the information provided in Item 4 – Advisory Business, this section provides additional
details regarding our firm’s services along with descriptions of each service’s fees and compensation
arrangements. It should be noted that lower fees for comparable service may be available from other
sources. The exact fees and other terms will be outlined in the agreement between you and Paradigm
Wealth Management.

Asset Management Services

Fees charged for our asset management services are charged based on a percentage of assets under
management, billed in advance (at the start of the billing period) on a quarterly calendar basis and
calculated based on the fair market value of your account as of the last business day of the previous
billing period. Fees are prorated (based on the number of days service is provided during the initial billing
period) for your account opened at any time other than the beginning of the billing period. If asset
management services are commenced in the middle of a billing period, the prorated fee for the initial
billing period is billed in arrears at the same time as the next full billing period’s fee is billed.

In the event that a deposit in excess of $10,000 occurs during a billing period after the fee calculation, the
fee for the billing period will be recalculated at the end of the billing period and Paradigm Wealth
Management will bill a second fee pro-rata, in arrears, on the additional deposits. In the event that a
withdrawal in excess of $10,000 occurs during a billing period after the fee calculation, the fee for that
billing period will be recalculated at the end of the billing period and you will be refunded the pro-rate fee
that was attributable to the amount of the withdrawal.

The asset management services continue in effect until terminated by either party (i.e., Paradigm Wealth
Management or you) by providing written notice of termination to the other party. Any prepaid, unearned
fees will be promptly refunded by Paradigm Wealth Management to you. Fee refunds will be determined
on a pro rata basis using the number of days services are actually provided during the final period.

Fees charged for our asset management services are negotiable based on the type of client, the
complexity of the client's situation, the composition of the client's account (i.e., equities versus mutual
funds), the potential for additional account deposits, the relationship of the client with the investment
adviser representative, and the total amount of assets under management for the client.

The following is the standard fee schedule of Paradigm Wealth Management, and the exact annual fee
will be specified in the client’s written agreement with us.

                 Account’s Value                              Annual Fee
                 $0 - $1,000,000                              1.25%

Paradigm Wealth Management, LLC                     Page 13                   Form ADV Part 2A Disclosure Brochure

                 $1,000,001 and Above                        1.00%

For Example, if client has assets under management of $1.5 million, the annual fee would be $15,000:

Billable Assets =       $1,500 000
Fee                       X 1.00%
Total Annual Fee =         $15,000

Client will not pay the annual fee for each tier once the next threshold is met. There is no minimum
account size or minimum annual fee.

Paradigm Wealth Management believes that its annual fee is reasonable in relation to: (1) services
provided and (2) the fees charged by other investment advisers offering similar services/programs.
However, our annual investment advisory fee may be higher than that charged by other investment
advisers offering similar services/programs. In addition to our compensation, you may also incur charges
imposed at the mutual fund level (e.g., advisory fees and other fund expenses).

Paradigm Wealth Management allows each Investment Adviser Representative to set advisory fees
within ranges provided by Paradigm Wealth Management. As a result, your Investment Adviser
Representative may charge more or less for the same service than another Investment Adviser
Representative of Paradigm Wealth Management.

You can choose how to pay your investment advisory fees. The investment advisory fees can be
deducted from your account and paid directly to our firm by the qualified custodian(s) of your account or
you can pay our firm upon receipt of a billing notice sent directly to you.

If you choose to have the investment advisory fees deducted from your account, you must authorize the
qualified custodian(s) of your account to deduct fees from your account and pay such fees directly to
Paradigm Wealth Management.

You should review your account statements received from the qualified custodian(s) and verify that
appropriate investment advisory fees are being deducted. The qualified custodian(s) will not verify the
accuracy of the investment advisory fees deducted.

If you choose to pay the fees after receiving a statement, fees are due upon your receipt of a billing notice
sent directly to you. The billing notice will detail the formula used to calculate the fee, the assets under
management and the time period covered. Fees for the services of our firm will be due immediately after
your receipt of the billing notice.

Brokerage commissions and/or transaction ticket fees charged by the qualified custodian are billed
directly to you by the qualified custodian. Paradigm Wealth Management does not receive any portion of
such commissions or fees from you or the qualified custodian. In addition, you may incur certain charges
imposed by third parties other than Paradigm Wealth Management in connection with investments made
through your account including, but not limited to, mutual fund sales loads, 12(b)-1 fees and surrender
charges, variable annuity fees and surrender charges, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, and
...
