Fees and Compensation Service Fees Comprehensive Fee. PGA charges a comprehensive fee for the Wealth Management, Family Office, and Mission & Impact Services it provides to a client (the “Comprehensive Fee”). Generally, this Comprehensive Fee is equal to 1% per annum of the first $1 million of a client’s assets subject to Portfolio Management Services (“Assets Under Management”) and 0.50% per annum of that client’s remaining Assets Under Management. Under certain circumstances, a different Comprehensive Fee may be negotiated including a Comprehensive Fee based on a fixed dollar amount in lieu of an asset-based fee. The Comprehensive Fee is negotiable at the discretion of PGA based on one or a combination of the following factors: (1) the amount of assets to be managed; (2) the scope and complexity of the Family and Mission & Impact Services to be provided; (3) the provision of both Discretionary Management and Consulting Services; (4) a client has multiple Discretionary Accounts and each such account will be paying its own pro rata portion of an asset-based Comprehensive Fee; (5) a client is related to a pre-existing client; and/or (6) a client’s future earning capacity and future anticipated assets. As a result of these factors, certain clients that appear to be similarly situated pay different fees. The Comprehensive Fee is billed quarterly in arrears. A client’s asset-based Comprehensive Fee is based on the net asset value of the client’s Assets Under Management as of the last business day of each calendar quarter. The net asset value of a client’s Donor Advised Fund is not included in the client’s Assets Under Management for purposes of calculating the client’s Comprehensive Fee. Typically, the Comprehensive Fee is deducted from a client-designated Discretionary Account(s) held at a “qualified custodian” (e.g., a broker-dealer)(a “Custodian”) pursuant to an invoice prepared and presented to the Custodian by PGA and consistent with the terms of the client’s investment advisory/services agreement with PGA (an “Agreement”). A client may, however, request PGA to bill the Comprehensive Fee to the client in lieu of PGA deducting the fees from a client-designated Discretionary Account(s). If Consulting Services are rendered to a client, the client is responsible for all fees charged by a Third-Party Adviser for investment advisory services rendered to the client in addition to PGA’s Comprehensive Fee. DAF Fees. For Discretionary Management Services that PGA provides to a Donor Advised Fund, PGA typically receives a fee equal to 0.50% per annum of that fund’s Assets Under Management (a “DAF Fee”). The DAF Fee is billed quarterly in arrears. The DAF Fee is based on the net asset value of a Donor Advised Fund as of the last business day of each calendar quarter. The DAF Fee is deducted from a Donor Advised Fund pursuant to an invoice prepared and presented to the fund’s Custodian by PGA and consistent with the terms of the Agreement with the charitable organization sponsoring the Donor Advised Fund (a “Sponsor”). NOTE: Neither PGA nor its employees accept compensation for the sale of securities or other investment products. Other Fees Each client pays any custodial, brokerage and other transaction costs incurred in connection with PGA’s provision of Discretionary Management Services directly to the applicable Custodian. For further information regarding brokerage and other transaction costs associated with PGA’s Discretionary Management Services, see “Brokerage Practices.” Each Donor Advised Fund also pays an annual administration fee to the Sponsor. The administration fee compensates the Sponsor for reviewing and issuing client-recommended grants, maintaining an online account portal through which a client and PGA may view the client’s Donor Advised Fund account(s) and access to the Sponsor’s support team. To the extent that a client invests in a pooled investment vehicle such as a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), the client will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying pooled investment (e.g., investment advisory and other service agent fees, trading expenses). Neither the Comprehensive nor DAF Fee is reduced to offset these other fees. Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management PGA does not charge performance-based fees. |

Types of Clients Description of Clients Currently, PGA provides Wealth Management, Family Office, and Mission & Impact Services to principally high net-worth/other individuals and their trusts, self-directed retirement plans, IRAs, Donor Advised Funds and private businesses/foundations. Requirements for the Provision of Services Each client must enter into an Agreement with PGA prior to the performance of any services. The Agreement is a written contract between PGA and the client and sets forth the terms of the services to be rendered to the client. PGA does not maintain physical custody of securities or any other assets of its clients. The Agreement requires a client to hold each Discretionary Account with a Custodian. A client with a Discretionary Account (each a “Discretionary Client”) must also grant PGA investment discretion over that account in documentation between the client and the Custodian. The Agreement requires a separate investment advisory agreement between a client and a Third-Party Adviser outlining the terms and conditions of the services the Third-Party Adviser provides to the client. A client that subscribes to Consulting Services must provide, or arrange for each Third-Party Adviser to provide, portfolio data for their Sub-Advised Assets. A client that subsidizes a Donor Advised Fund is the fund’s “Donor” and must authorize PGA, in writing, to provide Discretionary Management Services to that fund. Under its Agreement with the applicable Sponsor of a Donor Advised Fund, PGA acknowledges that the Sponsor is the legal owner of the assets of the fund and that the Sponsor is PGA’s Discretionary Client for purposes of any Discretionary Management Services rendered to that fund. The Agreement also requires PGA to invest the assets of a Donor Advised Fund solely for the benefit of Sponsor’s philanthropic mission. A Donor must approve the DAF Fee to be assessed to their Donor Advised Fund prior to the commencement of any Discretionary Management Services. Currently, PGA only provides Discretionary Management Services to Donor Advised Funds for which Fidelity Charitable serves as Sponsor. Account Minimums PGA does not impose account minimums. PGA may only provide Discretionary Management Services to a Donor Advised Fund that satisfies the asset threshold established by the fund’s Sponsor. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss Methods of Analysis and Investment Strategies PGA stresses the importance of asset allocation and diversification in determining an appropriate investment strategy. During meetings with a client, PGA attempts to determine the client’s Investment Goals. Based on these criteria, PGA recommends a customized asset allocation target for the client’s investment portfolio. PGA utilizes the asset allocation target to create an investment portfolio consisting of equity securities and/or fixed income securities that complement a client’s specific Investment Goals. In the future, PGA may invest a client’s assets in other investment vehicles if consistent with PGA’s then-current economic and market outlook, the client’s Investment Goals and any investment restrictions acknowledged by both PGA and the client. Discretionary Management Services – Equity Investment Strategy . PGA considers broad economic and business trends as well as geo-political developments to diversify investments across business sectors (e.g., financials, technology and utilities) and markets (e.g., foreign/emerging markets, small/large capitalization companies) that are benefiting/will benefit from the identified trends/developments or anticipated changes to those trends/developments. PGA uses ETFs to establish broad market exposure and/or to access certain business sectors and/or markets that it believes are benefiting/will benefit from the identified trends/developments or anticipated changes to those trends/developments. While PGA does not typically invest a Discretionary Client’s assets in mutual funds, it may do so for the same reasons it purchases ETFs. Mutual funds transferred into a Discretionary Account may be retained if consistent with applicable Investment Goals. Smaller Discretionary Accounts may be limited to ETF holdings, and to a more limited extent, mutual funds, to achieve investment cost efficiencies. Larger Discretionary Accounts also typically include attractively priced equity securities of quality companies that PGA believes are benefiting/will benefit from the identified trends/developments or anticipated changes to those trends/developments and that have prospects for sustainable growth in the future. Subject to a Discretionary Client’s Investment Goals, potential equity securities of domestic and foreign companies of all sizes include, but are not limited to, U.S. exchange-traded common stocks and American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) (negotiable certificates traded on a U.S. exchange and issued by a U.S. bank representing a specified number of shares in a foreign stock). Generally, PGA uses in-house research to identify quality companies operating within the identified business sectors/markets that have the potential for sustainable growth in the future. Quality companies include businesses that PGA believes, among other things, have sustainable competitive advantages (e.g., they are leaders or potential leaders in their respective markets, have effective and innovative management teams and/or relatively strong balance sheets). PGA uses a variety of valuation techniques including analyses of various ratios (e.g., price/earnings and price/cash flows) to identify quality companies whose equity securities are attractively priced. Discretionary Management Services – Fixed Income Investment Strategy. PGA considers interest rate outlooks, the shape of the yield curve, other broad economic and business trends and geo-political developments along with a Discretionary Client’s Investment Goals to ... |
