Item 5 - Fees and Compensation
Description
Three Bearings bases its fees on a percentage of assets under management,
fixed fees, or hourly charges. We describe fee details for each of the
agreement types in their respective sections above.
We may waive the minimum fee and/or charge a lesser investment advisory
fee based on various criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets,
anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed,
related accounts, account composition, familial relationships, and other
factors).
Fee Billing
Fees for ongoing engagements (Comprehensive Financial Agreements,
Retainer Agreements, Non-Profit Investment Management Agreements, and
Municipal Investment Management Agreements) are billed quarterly, in
arrears in the months of March, June, September, and December. Fees for
the initial billing period are prorated based on the number of days from your
contract date, or the date assets are transferred to our management, if later,
to the end of the quarterly billing cycle. Fees based on the value of assets
under management are computed based upon the average daily balance in
your portfolio accounts during the billing period. Payment in full is due upon
invoice presentation. For convenience, you may direct that fees be deducted
from a designated managed account or accounts. You must consent in
advance to direct debiting of your accounts.
Fees for financial plans may be billed 50% in advance, with the balance due
upon delivery of the financial plan.
Held Away Account Services
We may provide an additional service for accounts not directly held in our
custody for which clients have granted discretion to enter order instructions
on their behalf. To implement this service, we may leverage an Order
Management System to implement asset allocation or rebalancing strategies
on behalf of the client. These held away accounts are primarily 401(k)
accounts, 529 plans, variable annuities, and other assets held at a custodian
with whom Three Bearings Fiduciary Advisors does not have a direct
relationship to facilitate delivery of investment instructions to the custodian.
We regularly review the current holdings and available investment options in
these accounts, monitor the accounts, rebalance and implement our
strategies as necessary.
Held Away Account Services - Billing
We charge an annual fee for services provided to these held away accounts
which is determined according the client's existing fee schedule. The client
may elect to pay these fees from an account under our management or via
invoicing. Fees are based on the value of assets at the close of the billing
quarter as valued by the account custodian. This differs from the valuation
approach used for accounts for which Three Bearings Fiduciary Advisors
receives a daily data feed (accounts held at Fidelity Brokerage Services,
Charles Schwab & Company and National Advisors Trust Company).
Accounts for which TBFA receives daily valuations, quarterly fees are
computed based on the portfolio's average daily balance during the billing
quarter as described above. For held-away accounts, quarter-end values are
used because we cannot ensure that accurate daily values are available.
Other Fees
Custodians 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. Additional
information regarding custodians is included in this brochure under Brokerage
Practices.
Expense Ratios
Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds charge a management fee for their
services as investment managers. The management fee is included in what
is called an expense ratio. For example, an expense ratio of 0.30 means that
the mutual fund company charges 0.3% for its services. Clients incur these
fees indirectly in addition to the fees they pay directly to Three Bearings
Fiduciary Advisors.
Mutual fund companies deduct their fees before calculating and quoting
performance figures in various publications.
Past Due Accounts
We reserve the right to stop work on any account that is more than 30 days
overdue.
Fee Refund Calculations
If you terminate an ongoing money management agreement, such as a
Comprehensive Financial Agreement, Retainer Agreement, Non-Profit
Investment Management Agreement or Municipal Investment Management
Agreement, we will prorate fees for the portion of the billing quarter
completed. For fees computed based on the value of assets under
management, the average daily balance of your accounts from the end of the
last complete billing cycle to the date of termination will be used to compute
the final invoice.
To the extent that we have not expended time against the fee paid in
advance, we will refund fees associated with other agreements (Financial
Planning Agreement, Tax Preparation Agreement, and Hourly Planning
Agreement) if you choose to terminate the agreement. Refunds will be
provided within ten days of termination. |

Item 7 - Types of Clients
Description
Primary emphasis is on individuals, high net worth individuals, trusts,
municipalities, and small businesses. Clients may also include pension and
profit sharing plans, estates, charitable organizations, corporations or other
business entities.
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
Personal Account Minimum
The minimum total portfolio size (comprising all of the client’s accounts) for a
personal investment management relationship is $200,000 of assets under
management, which equates to an annual fee of $3,500.
If the total portfolio falls below $200,000 in value, we charge the minimum
annual fee of $3,500. Depending on circumstances, Three Bearings may
sign an Hourly Financial Planning Agreement or Retainer Agreement with a
client if assets diminish significantly below $200,000.
We may waive the total portfolio minimum size requirement and minimum fee
at our discretion. If you and your advisor anticipate you will add funds to the
total portfolio bringing the total to $200,000 within a reasonable time, we may
accept total portfolios of less than $200,000. Other exceptions will apply to
employees of Three Bearings Fiduciary Advisors and their relatives, or
relatives of existing clients.
Asset management services have a tiered fee structure, which means that
clients with lesser assets will pay a higher percentage rate on their annual
fees than clients with greater assets under management will pay.
Non-Profit Account Minimum
The minimum account size and fee for a non-profit entity may be reduced or
waived at our discretion. |
