[Brochure]
Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Generally, StoneCastle will charge a fee, based on assets under administration.
StoneCastle’s fees may be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
FICA and ICA Programs
Fees charged by StoneCastle represent a percentage of the amount of gross interest earned
on client deposits at each Network Institution and each ICA Bank (together, “Deposit
Institutions”). The amount of the gross interest earned at each Deposit Institution is
determined at the discretion of the Deposit Institutions based on prevailing economic and
business conditions and, as such, varies between Deposit Institutions. Each Deposit
Institution may also adjust the amount of gross interest it pays on deposits.
As it relates to FICA, the interest rate earned by each client may vary within a particular
FICA Program based on the size of the account balance and the introducing party. The
percentage of the gross interest that StoneCastle retains as its fee will also vary between
Network Institutions and over time. However, the FICA fees charged by StoneCastle will
never exceed the gross interest earned from each Network Institution. The FICA fees are
deducted from each Network Institution's omnibus account at the same time interest is
paid to client accounts.
