Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Financial Planning and Consulting-Hourly Fee
SFG may provide its clients with a broad range of financial analysis and consulting services and
will charge a fee (fixed and/or hourly) for these services. Fixed consulting services can range
from $1,200-$9,000 depending on the level and scope of the services provided. In some cases, a
monthly fee between $100-$750 can be assessed in lieu of paying the fixed fee and will be paid
in advance each month via auto debit. The first month’s fee will be paid upon engagement. Once
most of services have been provided, Client has the option to opt for a monthly “maintenance
fee” of $100 until termination of agreement. Hourly consulting services can range between
$150-$350/hour with a minimum of 3 hours depending on the level and scope of the service
provided. All planning and consulting fees can be negotiated based on the size, complexity and
scope of the work provided, and whether the financial plan is broad-based or restricted to a
specific area (modular planning). SFG will charge 50% of the minimum amount up front, not to
exceed $1500, with the balance due upon completion and does not accept payment six or more
months in advance. Payments are accepted via check or draft from a U.S Financial Institution as
well as through Client’s Custodian, which will require prior authorization.

Wealth Advisory Fees-Percentage of Assets
The Client will pay a wealth advisory fee based upon a percentage of the market value of the assets
being managed. The value of the account assets (securities, cash, and cash equivalents) under
management shall be valued as of the valuation date, set forth by an independent pricing service,
where available, or otherwise in good faith. SFG will send Client a description of all advisory fees
billed to Client’s account on a quarterly basis. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the fees
and immediately notify SFG of any billing errors. Billing information will be sent to the Custodian
for withdrawal and to the client. The Firm, at its sole discretion, may charge a lesser advisory fee
based upon certain criteria that is applied objectively (i.e., anticipated future earning capacity,
anticipated future assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed, related accounts, pre-existing
Client, account retention, pro bono activities, etc.) SFG does not charge higher fees to other clients
to offset the lower management fees that are charged in select cases.

The annualized advisory fees as a percentage of assets are as follows:

                    Asset under Management                       Annual Fee
                     $1,000,000 - $2,000,000                       .45%
                     $2,000,001 - $3,000,000                       .40%
                     $3,000,001 - $4,000,000                       .35%
                     $4,000,001 - $6,000,000                       .25%
                        Above $6,000,000                           .20%

                                                                         Disclosure Brochure

Investment Advisory Fees – Percentage of Assets
The Client will pay an advisory fee based upon a percentage of the market value of the assets being
managed. Fees may be negotiated depending on individual circumstances and may vary from client
to client. Advisory fees are based upon many factors including but not limited to the type of
account, the size, the projected nature of trading, and the range and number of supplemental
advisory and client-related services to be provided by Advisor. The Firm, at its sole discretion, may
charge a lesser management fee based upon certain criteria that is applied objectively (i.e.,
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future assets, dollar amount of assets to be managed,
related accounts, account composition, pre-existing Client, account retention, pro bono activities,
etc.) SFG does not charge higher fees to other clients to offset the lower management fees that are
charged in select cases.

Wealth Advisory Fees - Minimum
The Client will pay a minimum of $1,000 per quarterly billing cycle. Each quarter, the difference
between the percentage of assets fee and $1,000 will be deducted from a Client’s account. If the
percentage of assets fee exceeds $1,000 for the quarter, no additional fee will be deducted. If the
account balance does not have sufficient balance for the fee deduction, an invoice will be provided.
The purpose of a minimum fee policy is to account for planning and support services during the
asset accumulation phase of investing.
