Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Description of Fees
SAG bases its fees on a percentage of advisory assets under management or on a one-
time fee for each individual consultation (i.e. Financial Advice). The Advisory Service
Agreement fee will be a percentage of the closing market value of all assets in the
account on the last trading day of each calendar quarter. There are other applicable fees
such as annual IRA custodial fees, checking feature fees, inactivity fees, ticket charges,
confirmation fees, fees to receive paper copies of your monthly/quarterly statements,
account closing fees, etc. Our goal is to keep fees to a minimum and will inform you in
advance of any fee when at all possible.

Fee Billing
Client Advisory Fees are charged to the account at the beginning of each calendar
quarter. The client agrees to keep enough cash available in the account to pay each
quarterly fee.
ADVISORY ACCOUNT FEES
Advisory Account client fees are charged to the account at the beginning of each
calendar quarter.
If a client opens his/her account partially through a quarter, a partial fee will be billed
to the client's account on a pro rata basis at the beginning of the next quarter.
If a client closes his/her account prior to the end of a quarter in which an advisory fee
was charged, a partial fee will be refunded to the client's account on a pro rata basis.
The client agrees to keep enough cash available in the account to pay each quarterly
fee.
CONSULTATION FEES
Consultation fees are applicable when investment and/or financial planning services
are requested by a non-advisory account client. Consultations include, but not limited
to, responding to requests made by the client to prepare retirement planning
documentation or review: current investment portfolio holdings, estate planning
documents, employer sponsored retirement plan investment options, or pension plan
payout options. Consultation services are NOT to be considered as continual financial
planning services and updates will only be provided at the client’s request. These
services are provided as follows:
1. Each consultation is billed at an hourly rate of $250/hour. Any future update
requests will result in an additional charge.
2. Preparing a formal retirement plan report. This includes gathering pertinent
financial information such as: risk tolerance, tax bracket, monthly retirement
spending income need, social security and pension figures, and financial assets.
Once the report has been completed, the results will be presented to the client
and a printed or electronic copy will be provided. This cost for the initial
retirement plan is $1250 and future updates are billed at $375. Five hours of
consultation time is included to gather information, prepare the plan, and
present the results. If additional time is required, it is billed at $250/hour.
Consultation Fees are billed after the services have been performed and only provided
on an “as and when requested” basis.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds
and exchange-traded funds. These transaction charges are usually small and incidental

to the purchase or sale of a security. The selection of the security is more important
than the nominal fee that the custodian charges to buy or sell the security.
SAG, in its sole discretion, may waive its minimum fee and/or charge a lesser
investment advisory fee based upon certain criteria (i.e. historical relationship, type of
assets, anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar
amounts of assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, etc.).
New Advisory Service Agreement fees are calculated on a formula basis and are not
adjusted for complexity of individual situations.
Expense Ratios
Mutual funds, if used, generally charge a management fee for their services as
investment managers and is commonly referred to as the expense ratio. For example,
an expense ratio of 0.50 means that the mutual fund company charges 0.5% for their
services. Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various
publications are generally after the expense ratio has been deducted. These fees, if
present, would be in addition to the advisory fees paid by a client to an advisor.
Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement
SAG reserves the right to stop work on any account that is more than 90 days overdue.
In addition, SAG reserves the right to terminate any financial planning engagement
where a client has willfully concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information
about financial situations when necessary and appropriate, in SAG’s judgment, to
providing proper financial advice. |

an annual fee of $4,040.00. Clients receiving ongoing asset management services will
be assessed a $287.50 minimum annual fee. |
