Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Scout’s investment advisory fees vary depending on the type of client and the investment strategy
provided. In general, fees are based upon a percentage of your assets that are managed by Scout.
Fees are billed quarterly unless otherwise stated in the investment advisory agreement. The specific
method of payment is described in your agreement with Scout, or with your financial intermediary.
If your investment advisory fee is billed in advance and Scout stops providing advisory services prior
to the end of the billing period, you will be reimbursed for any unearned fees proportionate to the
number of days remaining from the time your investment advisory agreement terminates to the end
of the billing period. Your account will also incur additional expenses, such as brokerage and
transactional costs that are not included in Scout’s investment advisory fee. For more information
about these types of expenses, please see Item 12 entitled Brokerage Practices. For purposes of
fee invoicing, Scout will directly bill you or your agent. You may also choose for Scout to deduct our
investment advisory fee directly from your custodial account. If you are a separately managed
account client, the choice to be directly billed or have your fee automatically deducted from your
custodial account will depend upon your separately managed account platform. Please contact your
financial representative for more information. All fees stated below are negotiable. Scout may
charge clients fees that are higher or lower than your fee or the fees listed below. This may occur
under a variety of circumstances including, but not limited to, the type of client, the total client assets
managed by Scout or a client’s specific investment objectives and guidelines.

Other Investment Advice
Scout provides investment models, including purchase and sale information, to third-party financial
intermediaries for use in UMAs. We provide these investment models to the financial intermediary on a non-
discretionary basis and the financial intermediary makes the decision to buy or sell securities included in
the investment model. We typically receive a fee from the financial intermediary based upon a percentage
of the total assets using our investment model. The percentage fee varies between different financial
intermediaries. |
