Savant Investment Advisers Inc

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
In certain circumstances, advisory fees and account minimums may be negotiable based upon prior
relationships as well as related account holdings. The fees charged are calculated as described below and
are not charged based on a share of capital gains or capital appreciation of the funds or any portion of the
funds of an advisory client.
All fees paid to Savant for investment advisory services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses
charged by mutual funds to their shareholders. These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s
prospectus. Such fees will generally include a management fee, other fund expenses and a possible
distribution fee.
Clients could invest in a mutual fund directly, without the services of Savant. In that case, the clients would
not receive the services provided by Savant which are designed, among other things, to assist the clients in
determining which mutual fund or funds are most appropriate to the client’s financial condition and
objectives. Accordingly, the clients should review both the fees charged by the funds and the fees charged
by Savant to fully understand the total amount of fees to be paid by the clients and to thereby evaluate the
advisory services being provided.
All Advisory fees are charged, in advance, on the sixth business day of each calendar quarter, based upon
the fair market value of the assets in the portfolio as of the last business day of the prior quarter. The initial
fee will be payable when the account is established, prorated for the first partial quarter, if applicable.
Thereafter, the fee will be payable on the sixth business day of each calendar quarter based on the asset
value of the account as of the last business day of the prior quarter, additional deposits to the account are
subject to the same fee procedures. Additions and/or withdrawals that are more than $10,000 during any

given quarter will create a fee adjustment on a pro-rata basis. No fee adjustments will be made for account
depreciation.
Upon client’s written authorization, fees will be automatically deducted from the account. Clients will be
provided with an invoice, generally included in their statement, setting forth the fee calculation and a
quarterly statement reflecting deduction of the advisory fee. If clients have more than one account in their
household, accounts are generally aggregated in a billing group for the purpose of achieving a breakpoint
advantage on fees.

Financial Planning
Fixed fee: Typically ranging from $500 - $4,500, depending on the nature and complexity of each client’s
circumstances.
Hourly: Ranges from $75 - $175 per-hour, depending on the nature and complexity of each client’s
circumstances. An estimate for total hours will be determined at the start of the advisory relationship.
50% of the estimated fee will be due upon signing the advisory agreement, with the balance due upon
presentation of the written plan to the clients. Typically, the financial plan will be presented to the clients
within 90 days of the contract date, provided that the clients have promptly provided all information needed
to prepare the financial plan.
SELECTION OF BROKERAGE PLATFORM FOR TRADE/ CLEARANCE/ CUSTODY OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY
TRANSACTIONS
 Pershing
In their separate capacity as Registered Representatives of Osaic, the IARs and Osaic are subject to certain
FINRA supervisory obligations which have caused Osaic to select the Pershing division of BNY Mellon as an
approved third-party clearing broker/dealer, which will execute trades, settle securities transactions and
custody clients’ assets on behalf of Savant and its Advisory Representatives.
Factors considered in selecting Pershing include its existing broker/dealer clearing relationship with Osaic,
its extensive financial strength, reputation, reporting, and execution pricing and research. Osaic and
Pershing charge commission rates which are generally considered discounted from customary retail
commission rates. However, the commissions and/or transaction fees charged by Osaic and Pershing may
be higher or lower than those charged by other broker-dealer/custodians. Further, the fees charged by
Osaic and Pershing, or any other designated broker-dealer/custodian, are exclusive of, and in addition to,
Savant’s investment management fees. In addition, the clients shall also incur charges imposed at the mutual
fund level (e.g., management fees and other fund expenses).
