Fees and Compensation - Item 5
Financial Planning Services Fees
The fees for Financial Planning and Consulting will be charged in one of two ways:
1. As a fixed fee, typically ranging from $500 - $250,000, depending on the nature and complexity of each
client’s circumstances. Up to 50% of this fee may be due upon signing the financial planning agreement,
with the balance due upon presentation of the plan to the client, or as invoiced.
2. On an hourly basis, ranging from $125 - $450 per hour, depending on the nature and complexity of each
client’s circumstances, as well as the experience and qualifications of the individual conducting the work.
An estimate for total hours will be determined at the start of the advisory relationship. Up to 50% of the
estimated fee may be due upon signing the advisory agreement, with the balance (based on actual hours)
due upon presentation of the plan to the client, or as invoiced.
The exact fee payable by the client along with the payment terms will be listed in the finical planning agreement
signed by the firm and the client. Either party may terminate the financial planning agreement by written notice
to the other. Any collected but unearned fees for those services will be promptly refunded to the client upon
termination of the financial planning agreement. SFA does not require the prepayment of over $500 per client,
six or more months in advance.
Third Party Investment Adviser Fees
SFA refers clients to other various independent registered investment advisers. In such situations, SFA will share
in the fee paid by you, as the client, to the TPIA. The key compensation terms are disclosed in the TPIA's disclosure
documents as well as in disclosures provided by SFA (of which you will be required to acknowledge receipt). These
Schwan Financial Advisors, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
fees may or may not be negotiable. Our compensation may differ depending upon our firm’s individual agreement
with each TPIA. SFA or its Associated Persons may have an incentive to recommend one TPIA over another TPIA
with whom it has less favorable compensation arrangements or other advisory programs offered by TPIAs with
which it has no compensation arrangements. In order to address this conflict, our firm has adopted a code of
ethics that obliges all Associated Persons to deal fairly with all clients, to uphold their fiduciary duty, and to put
the client's interest first. Clients are not required to use the services of any TPIA we recommend. The total fees
charged by the TPIA, including the portion shared with our firm, will not exceed 3% of assets under management
per year.
SFA does not deduct advisory fees from client accounts. All fees are deducted by the TPIA managing the account
and a portion of that fee is paid to our firm.
Pension Consulting Services Fees
The fees for Pension Consulting Services will be charged in one or more of the following three ways:
1. As a percentage of assets under consultation and monitoring, ranging from 0.25% to 1.0%. SFA will quote
an exact percentage to each client based on the nature, size and complexity of the account. For this fee
arrangement, clients will be charged in advance at the beginning of each calendar quarter based upon
the values of the last month (market value or fair market value in the absence of market value, plus any
credit balance or minus any debit balance) of the client’s account during the previous quarter.
2. As a fixed fee, typically ranging from $500 - $250,000, depending on the nature and complexity of each
client’s circumstances. Up to 50% of this fee may be due upon signing the agreement, with the balance
due upon completion of the work.
3. On an hourly basis, ranging from $125 - $450 per hour, depending on the nature and complexity of each
client’s circumstances, as well as the experience and qualifications of the individual conducting the work.
An estimate for total hours and the hourly rate will be provided at the start of the advisory relationship.
Up to 50% of the estimated fee may be due upon signing the advisory agreement, with the balance
(based on actual hours) due upon completion of the work.
Any collected but unearned fees for these services will be promptly refunded to the client upon termination of
the financial planning agreement. SFA does not require the prepayment of over $500 per client, six or more
months in advance.
Additional Fees and Expenses
As part of the advisory services provided through TPIAs, you may be invested in, or solicited to invest in, mutual
funds and exchange traded funds. The management fees that you pay to the TPIA (including the portion paid to
our firm) are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange traded funds
(as described in each fund’s prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally include a management
fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or brokerage fees when purchasing or
selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian through which
your account transactions are executed. We do not share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges
imposed by the broker-dealer or custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all
the fees charged by mutual funds, exchange traded funds, TPIAs, and others.

Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss - Item 8
Our firm refers clients to TPIAs that provide advice to clients in accordance with the relevant programs provided
by the TPIA. We will assist you in selecting TPIAs whose investment programs and strategies we have reviewed
and determined to be appropriate for you based on your individual circumstances and investment goals. We will
not recommend particular securities or directly manage your assets. Clients should refer to the disclosure
documents provided by the TPA for more information about these firm's methods of analysis, investment
strategies, and risks associated with investments.
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. Clients should fully
understand the nature of the contractual relationship(s) into which they are entering and the extent of their
exposure to risk. Certain investing strategies may not be suitable for many Managing Members of the public. You
should carefully consider whether the strategies employed would be appropriate for you in light of your
experience, objectives, financial resources, and other relevant circumstances.
General Investment Risk: All investments come with the risk of loss. Investing may involve substantial risks,
including complete possible loss of principal plus other losses and may not be suitable for many Managing
Members of the public. Investments, unlike savings and checking accounts at a bank, are not insured by the
government to protect against market losses. Different market instruments carry different types and degrees of
risk and you should familiarize yourself with the risks involved in the particular market instruments in which you
intend to invest.
Loss of Value: There can be no assurance that a specific investment will achieve its investment objectives and
past performance should not be seen as a guide to future returns. The value of investments and the income
derived may fall as well as rise and investors may not recoup the original amount invested. Investments may also
be affected by any changes in exchange control regulation, tax laws, withholding taxes, international, political,
and economic developments, and government, economic or monetary policies.
Interest Rate Risk: Fixed income securities and funds that invest in bonds and other fixed income securities may
fall in value if interest rates change. Generally, the prices of debt securities rise when interest rates fall, and their
prices fall when interest rates rise. Longer-term debt securities are usually more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Credit Risk: Investments in bonds and other fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the issuer(s) may
not make required interest payments. An issuer suffering an adverse change in its financial condition could lower
the credit quality of a security, leading to greater price volatility of the security. A lowering of the credit rating of
a security may also offset the security's liquidity, making it more difficult to sell. Funds investing in lower quality
debt securities are more susceptible to these problems and their value may be more volatile.
Foreign Exchange Risk: Foreign investments may be affected favorably or unfavorably by exchange control
regulations or changes in the exchange rates. Changes in currency exchange rates may influence the share value,
the dividends or interest earned and the gains and losses realized. Exchange rates between currencies are
determined by supply and demand in the currency exchange markets, the international balance of payments,
governmental intervention, speculation, and other economic and political conditions. If the currency in which a
Schwan Financial Advisors, LLC
Form ADV Part 2A Brochure
security is denominated appreciates against the US Dollar, the value of the security will increase. Conversely, a
decline in the exchange rate of the currency would adversely affect the value of the security.
Risks Associated with Investing in Equities: Investments in equities generally refers to buying shares of stocks by
an individual or firms in return for receiving a future payment of dividends and capital gains if the value of the
stock increases. There is an innate risk involved when purchasing a stock that it may decrease in value and the
investment may incur a loss.
Risks Associated with Investing in Mutual Funds: Mutual funds are professionally managed collective investment
systems that pool money from many investors and invest in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments,
other mutual funds, other securities, or any combination thereof. The fund will have a manager that trades the
fund's investments in accordance with the fund's investment objective. While mutual funds generally provide
diversification, risks can be significantly increased if the fund is concentrated in a particular sector of the market,
primarily invests in small cap or speculative companies, uses leverage (i.e., borrows money) to a significant
degree, or concentrates in a particular type of security (i.e., equities) rather than balancing the fund with different
