Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Fee schedule and payment of fees
Fees and Compensation: Financial Planning
Compensation for financial planning services is on a fee basis. The minimum initial fee for financial planning services is
$2,500. Prior to any financial planning work being commenced, we will provide a proposal that outlines the scope of work to
be included in the engagement, and our fee for the completion of that work. This turnkey fee quote is designed to eliminate the
uncertainty and confusion that is inherent in an hourly billing arrangement. Should the engagement expand or should there be
additional planning work required after the development of the initial plan, such work will be billed at the rate of $250 per
hour. While reviews are not required, they are encouraged. A financial plan is necessarily a dynamic document that should be
reviewed as time passes, or circumstances change. When reviews are conducted, they are billed at the rate of $250 per hour
with a four-hour minimum. A deposit of $500 is required at the time that the Planning Agreement is executed. This deposit is
applied, in full, to the planning fee. The engagement may be terminated at any time by either party. Work completed up until
the time of termination will be billed at $250 per hour.
Although it is our preference to develop comprehensive plans, we may from time to time agree to perform consultations on
more narrowly focused issues on a one-time basis. Charges for consultations of this type will be billed at the rate of $250 per
hour. Special Projects will be handled on a negotiated basis depending upon the nature and complexity of the task.
A prospective planning client should have an investable net worth of $500,000 and/or an annual income of at least $250,000.
We may, in our sole discretion, waive these minimum requirements.
Fees and Compensation : Investment Management, Quarterly Reviews
The minimum required size for new managed account relationships is $500,000. Family assets will be combined for purposes
of meeting this minimum (i.e., spousal accounts, custodial accounts, retirement plans, educational accounts, etc. are combined
to determine portfolio size). Schaefer Financial Management, Inc. may, in its sole discretion, waive this minimum account
size.
Fees for investment management services will be computed as a percentage of the assets under management. Assets under
management will be determined on the final business day of each quarter, using closing bid prices for all securities as reported
pg. 7
by custodians. In the event that a client portfolio contains non-marketable securities (i.e., limited partnerships, etc.), historical
cost will be used unless a more reasonable value estimate is available. Quarters will correspond to the client's anniversary date
rather than calendar quarters. In the case of fixed income securities, accrued interest may also be considered in computing
assets under management. The percentage scale is as follows:
Annual
Account Size Percentage Fee
First $1,000,000 1.0%
Next $1,000,000 .6%
Next $3,000,000 .4%
Next $5,000,000 .2%
Above $10,000,000 Negotiable
Schaefer Financial Management, Inc. reserves the right to negotiate alternative fee schedules in its sole discretion. Fees are
payable in arrears and are billed on a quarterly basis by applying the annual percentage fee to the total assets under
management on the last day of the quarter and dividing the result by four (4). Fees will be pro-rated for clients commencing or
terminating the service during a quarter.
All fees are due and payable in full within ten (10) days of our receipt of an invoice. If the client elects, they may have fees
deducted directly from their Schwab account, with a copy of the invoice sent to the client. We retain the right to terminate the
investment management agreement for any client whose account is fifteen (15) days past due.
Fees and Compensation: Investment Management, Annual Reviews
Effective January 1, 2021, the fee for annual reviews is payable upon billing at the end of the client’s annual review year, is not
negotiable, and will be .5% of the investment assets, with a minimum fee of $1,250 per year. The fee for annual reviews is
payable upon billing at the end of the client’s annual review year end.
Fees and Compensation: Other Services
Fees and Compensation for Insurance Implementation services are discussed at Item 4: Advisory Business.
Clients are responsible for Third-Party Fees
Our fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees and other related costs and expenses which might be
charged to the client by custodians, brokers and other third parties. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds charge
management fees in addition to standard brokerage commissions. Clients are responsible for the payment of these third-party fees.
We do not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, expenses and costs. See Item 12: Brokerage Practices below for
information concerning our relationship with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., a registered broker/dealer who acts as a broker for
our clients’ securities transactions.
