Item 5: Fees and Compensation
A. Fee Schedule and Method
a. Consulting, Tax Preparation and/or Financial Planning
Fees for services such as consulting, tax preparation and/or financial planning may be
determined as follows:
i. Hourly Rates – these rates vary depending on the staff member(s) rendering the
service the service and the service provided. Hourly rates normally range from
$250-$500.
ii. Flat Fee – A flat or project fee may be quoted.
iii. Retainer Fees – A retainer fee may be charged for services of an ongoing nature.
b. Investment Management
Investment management services are normally billed based on a percentage of the
value of the assets being managed. Annual Investment management fees typically range
from 0.30% to 1.10% and this percentage may decrease as the value of the assets being
managed increases. Our annual fees for investment management or wealth
management services are prorated in the initial quarter to the account funding date.
Clients are generally charged quarterly, in advance, based upon a percentage (%) of the
market value of the assets under management as of the last business day of the
previous quarter, as valued by the Custodian, and generally in accordance with the fee
schedule below.

The Fee schedule above is tiered so that Assets at each level are charged the
corresponding fee.
c. Wealth Management
Fees for wealth management services are individually quoted for each client and are
influenced by the value of the assets being managed, a client’s overall assets and net
worth, and the complexity of their financial situation.
d. Fee Variances
Townsend strives for our fees to be fair, reasonable and to fit a client’s situation,
circumstances, and needs. Therefore, fees may be negotiated, depending on the nature
of the services being provided, types of investments being used, style and frequency of
trading, or other factors. Your specific fee is described in the Engagement Letter that is
signed by both Townsend and the client.
Townsend considers cash to be an asset class, and include cash balances in our fee
calculation. There are some cases, where Townsend may not bill on a client’s cash
reserves, for example, where a client has designated significant percentage / amount of
cash to be held aside purposefully.
B. Fee Billing
Fees for hourly services are billed upon the completion of the service.
Flat fees that are charged for one-time engagements are also customarily billed at the
completion of the service, although an up-front payment of part of the fee may be required.
Normally our fees are deducted from the client’s investment account quarterly, although
clients can choose to be billed directly instead.
C. Other Fees or Expenses
In addition to fees charged by the firm, clients can also incur other additional fees or expenses.
The custodian or brokerage firm holding client accounts can charge custodial fees. Brokerage
fees or other transaction costs can be incurred when buying or selling securities. Townsend
generally uses mutual funds without sales charges; however, all mutual funds have internal
expense costs, and some charge redemption fees if a fund is sold too soon after purchase. The
firm makes every effort to minimize these other fees or expenses. Refer to Item 12 in our
brochure for further information on our brokerage practices.

D. Refunds of Fees
Upon termination of any account, unearned fees will be promptly refunded. In calculating a
client’s reimbursement of fees, we will pro rate the reimbursement according to the number of
days remaining in the billing period.
