Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule
FINANCIAL CONSULTING SERVICES
SoundPath’s annual financial consulting fee, which includes portfolio management, is
negotiable based on the service level requested by the client and the number of hours
required. The hourly rate for services is $400 per hour. These fees are based on the
selection of services as indicated within the Financial Consulting Agreement and a
thorough discussion with us. The rate is based on the unique selection made by the client
and what level of expertise is needed for that unique combination. All estimated annual
fees will be agreed on before entering into an agreement. If the fees are trending higher
than the estimate, we will reach out to the client for approval before charging any
additional fees. The Financial Consulting Services fee is paid quarterly in arrears.
The fee is negotiable based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets,
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with Clients,
etc.). SoundPath considers cash to be an asset class, and as such is included in fee
calculations. Also, to be noted, at times fees will exceed the money market yield.
Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources. Clients may
terminate their account within five (5) business days of signing the Investment Advisory
Agreement with no obligation and without penalty. After the initial five (5) business days,
the agreement may be terminated by SoundPath with thirty (30) days written notice to
Client and by the Client at any time with written notice to SoundPath. For accounts opened
or closed mid-billing period, fees will be prorated based on the days services are provided
during the given period. All unpaid earned fees will be due to SoundPath. Client shall be
given thirty (30) days prior written notice of any increase in fees. Any increase in fees will
be acknowledged in writing by both parties before any increase in said fees occurs.
FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
SoundPath charges a non-negotiable hourly fee of $400 per hour based on complexity and
unique Client needs for ongoing financial planning. Prior to the planning process the Client
will be provided an estimated plan fee.
Initial Consulting and Planning
The initial financial plan will be prepared for no additional cost to the Client. Services are
completed and delivered inside of sixty (60) days contingent upon timely delivery of all
required documentation.
Ongoing/Periodic Investment Advisory Consulting Service
If Client chooses to engage ongoing/periodic investment advisory consulting services the
estimated number of hours will be agreed upon in the Client Agreement signed by the
Client and SoundPath.
Fees for ongoing financial plans are due quarterly in arrears. Meaning SoundPath will bill
the Client at the end of each quarter.
Client may cancel within five (5) business days of signing Agreement with no obligation
and without penalty. If the Client cancels after five (5) business days, any unearned fees
will be refunded to the Client, or any unpaid earned fees will be due to SoundPath.
SoundPath reserves the right to waive the fee should the Client implement the plan through
SoundPath. If Client cancels before the financial plan is completed, the Client will receive all
completed portions of the plan along with the prorated refund/invoice.
SEMINARS AND WORKSHOPS
This service is offered at no additional cost to Clients.
