Item 5: Fees and Compensation

Please note, the Advisory Contract may be terminated by the Client within five (5) business days of signing
the Advisory Contract without fee or penalty.

How we are paid depends on the type of advisory services we perform. Below is a brief description of our
fees, however, you should review your executed Advisory Contract for more detailed information regarding
the exact fees you will be paying. No increase to the agreed-upon advisory fees outlined in the Advisory
Contract shall occur without prior written Client consent.

Investment Management Services

The fee is based on a percentage of assets under management and is negotiable. The annualized fees for
investment management services are based on the following fee schedule:

                     Assets Under Management                    Annual Advisory Fee
                         First $0 - $5,000,000                          0.95%
                    Next $5,000,001 - $10,000,000                       0.85%
                    Next $10,000,001 and Above                          0.75%

The annual advisory fee is paid quarterly in arrears based on the average daily balance of the Client’s
account(s). The advisory fee is a blended tier. For example, for assets under management of $10,000,000, a
Client would pay 0.95% on the first $5,000,000 and 0.85% on the remaining balance. The quarterly fee is
determined by the following calculation: (($5,000,000 x .95%) + ($5,000,000 x 0.85%)) ÷ 4 = $22,500.

If QFS utilizes a TPIA, the above fee schedule does not include the TPIA fee. The TPIA fee, billing schedule,
and payment procedures are set forth in their separate written disclosure documents, advisory agreements,
and/or the account opening documents of your account Custodian.

In determining the advisory fee, we may allow accounts of members of the same household to be
aggregated. QFS relies on the valuation as provided by Client’s custodian in determining assets under
management. Our advisory fee is prorated for any partial billing periods occurring during the engagement,
including the initial and terminating billing periods.

We deduct our advisory fee from one or more account(s) held at an unaffiliated third-party custodian, as
directed by the Client. Please refer to Item 15 of this Brochure regarding our policy on direct fee deduction.
Clients may also pay by electronic funds transfer (EFT). We use an independent third party payment
processor in which the Client can securely input their payment information to pay their fee. We do not have
access to the Client’s banking or credit information at any time. The Client will be provided with their own
secure portal in order to make payments.

The Advisory Contract may be terminated with written notice at least 30 calendar days in advance. Upon
termination of the Advisory Contract, a prorated refund will be provided to the Client. Since fees are paid in
arrears, no refund will be needed upon termination of the Advisory Contract. Clients will be responsible for
payment of fees up to the date of termination.

Project-Based Financial Planning Services

QFS charges either a fixed or hourly fee for project-based financial planning. Fixed fee rates range between
$2,000 to $20,000. Our hourly rate is $250.

The fee range is dependent upon variables including the specific needs of the Client, complexity, estimated
time, research, and resources required to provide services to you, among other factors we deem relevant.
Fees are negotiable and the final agreed upon fee will be outlined in your Advisory Contract. The payment
arrangement will be indicated within the Advisory Contract. QFS may request a portion of the total fee to be
paid in advance or upon completion of the project.

Wealth Management Services

The fee is based on a percentage of assets under management and is negotiable. The annualized fees for
investment management services are based on the following fee schedule:

                     Assets Under Management                    Annual Advisory Fee
                         First $0 - $5,000,000                          1.20%
                    Next $5,000,001 - $10,000,000                       1.00%
                    Next $10,000,001 and Above                          0.80%

The annual advisory fee is paid quarterly in arrears based on the average daily balance of the Client’s

Client would pay 0.95% on the first $5,000,000 and 0.85% on the remaining balance. The quarterly fee is
determined by the following calculation: (($5,000,000 x .95%) + ($5,000,000 x 0.85%)) ÷ 4 = $22,500. For fees
calculated by Interactive Brokers, the formula used is: (Last Business Day of Month/Quarter Net Liquidation
Value x Annual Advisory Fee %) / (252 / Number of Fee Days In Billing Cycle).
