Item 5 Fees and Compensation

The fees for the advisory services, as outlined below, are payable on a monthly basis, in arrears, based
on the daily average balance of the subject assets during the billing month. All applicable fees, fee payment
arrangements and the terms of engagement are clearly set forth in the investment advisory agreement
prior to services being rendered.

(A) Portfolio Management and Selection of Other Advisers

SWP provides investment advisory and portfolio management services for an asset-based fee calculated
as a percentage of the market value of the Client’s assets under management.

SWP’s Total Annual Fee for portfolio management and advisory services consists of an Advisory Fee (the
portion of the Total Annual Fee retained by SWP and the Client’s financial professional) and a Portfolio
Management Fee of 0.55% (the portion of the Total Annual Fee allocated to third-party managers, sub-
advisers, or platform costs, to the extent applicable). These fees are calculated using the following annual
fee schedule, applied to a client’s (or household’s) total billable assets under management:

Assets up to $500,000: Advisory Fee of 1.20% plus Portfolio Management Fee of 0.55%, for a Total Annual
Fee of 1.75%.

Assets over $500,000: Advisory Fee of 1.00% plus Portfolio Management Fee of 0.55%, for a Total Annual
Fee of 1.55%, applied only to the portion of assets exceeding $500,000.

The Advisory Fee is blended (graduated): only the portion of a client’s billable assets exceeding $500,000
is charged at the lower 1.00% rate, rather than the entire balance being charged at a single rate based on
which tier it falls into. The Portfolio Management Fee of 0.55% applies uniformly to all billable assets,
regardless of tier.

Fees are incremental and progressive. This Total Annual Fee includes the costs of services rendered by
the Client’s financial professional and the Adviser. Any remaining amount will be used to pay the fees
associated with the use of third-party managers and/or sub-advisers for the Client Account(s), to the extent
applicable.

If, after deduction of the amounts attributable to the Client’s financial professional and the Adviser, the
remaining Total Annual Fee is not sufficient to cover the costs of the engaged third-party manager(s) and/or
sub-adviser(s), the Client will be responsible for payment of any such remaining amounts, up to an annual
maximum of 2.50%. The Adviser will remain responsible for payment of any third-party manager and/or
sub-adviser fees which would cause the Total Annual Fee to exceed 2.50%.

A minimum annual household fee of 1.00% applies to all advisory relationships. This minimum applies
solely to the portfolio management and advisory services described herein and represents the lowest total
annual fee that will be charged for such services.

Fees are calculated and billed monthly, in arrears, based on the market value of assets as determined by
the Custodian on the last day of each month. The Client authorizes the Adviser to deduct the applicable
advisory fee directly from the Client’s account(s). No increase in the annual fee shall take effect without
the Client’s written consent.

The portion of the Total Annual Fee attributable to any engaged third-party manager(s) and/or sub-
adviser(s), if applicable, is determined on a client-by-client basis depending on relationship size,
complexity, and the scope of services provided. The specific schedule, including the Advisory Fee tiers
described above, is documented in the Client’s Advisory Agreement.

(B) Retirement Plan Asset Management Services

SWP’s fees for Retirement Plan Asset Management Services are individually negotiated on a case -by-
case basis and will generally range from 0.50% to 1.75% of plan assets.

These fees are negotiable based upon a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the scope of services
to be rendered, the representative servicing the account, the amount of plan assets, the expected amount
of time needed to render the requested services, and other factors. Due to the negotiability of fees,
similarly-situated clients could pay differing fees and the services to be provided by SWP may be available
from other sources for the same or lesser fees.

(C) Financial Planning and Consulting Fees

To the extent specifically requested by a client, SWP may determine to provide financial planning and/or
consulting services (including investment and non-investment related matters, including estate planning,
insurance planning, etc.) on a stand-alone fee basis. The Firm’s planning and consulting fees are
negotiable, but generally range from $0 to $25,000 on a fixed fee basis, depending upon the level and
scope of the service(s) required and the professional(s) rendering the service(s).

Fees agreed upon in advance prior to commencement of any work and may be invoiced separately from
advisory fees.

(D) Fee Payments

Unless otherwise agreed, asset-based fees are billed monthly, in arrears, based upon the daily average
balance of the managed assets during the billing period. Initial fees will be prorated if the investment
advisory relationship commences other than at the beginning of a billing period. Asset-based fees will
generally begin accruing as of the date the account placed under management is funded, unless otherwise
agreed.

In most engagements, the third-party investment manager and/or sub-adviser will deduct advisory fees
directly from the client’s account provided that (i) the client provides written authorization to the qualified

custodian, and (ii) the qualified custodian sends the client a statement, at least quarterly, indicating all
amounts disbursed from the account. The cost of the third-party investment manager’s and/or sub-
adviser’s services is paid from SWP’s advisory fee, resulting in no additional charge to the client. The client
is encouraged to review the custodian statement to verify the accuracy of the fee calculation, as the client’s
...

Item 7 Types of Clients
We offer investment advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals and pension and profit-
sharing plans (other than plan participants). Plan participants may enter into an advisory agreement with
the Firm separate and apart from their relationship with a pension or profit-sharing plans.

In general, we require a minimum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) to open and maintain an
advisory account. At our discretion, we may waive this minimum account size. For example, we may waive
the minimum if you appear to have significant potential for increasing your assets under our management.
We may also combine account values for you and your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and
other types of related accounts to meet the stated minimum.

Certain third-party investment managers and/or sub-advisers may impose minimum asset level
requirements upon clients, to which SWP clients may be subject. SWP generally will not recommend the
services of any such third-party if the client does not meet the minimum account size criteria, unless a
waiver to such requirement is granted.
