Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
A. TFA is compensated solely by fees for services rendered. Clients may choose to pay for
services in one of three ways, and all fees are negotiable:
1. At hourly rates for time spent plus out-of-pocket expenses. Hourly rates may range
from $295 to $775, depending on the Adviser representative’s level of experience.
Hourly rates are subject to change at Adviser’s discretion without prior notice.
2. For a fixed quarterly or annual retainer. Retainer arrangements apply to general
financial planning and tax compliance services when investment management is
incidental to the Adviser’s primary role. With very limited exception, annual retainers
are offered only in the context of TFA’s participation in an employer-sponsored
executive financial counseling program. Billing arrangements are dictated by the
employer.
3. As a percentage of assets under management. The annual rate is determined by the
aggregate value of accounts in a client’s “household” at the end of each calendar quarter.
Assets Under Proactive Management Annual % of Portfolio Value*
Under $500,000 1.0%
$500,000 to $999,999 0.75%
$1,000,000 to $4,999,999 0.50%
$5,000,000 and over 0.30%
* The percentage applicable to implementation of a CFI ladder will not, generally,
exceed 0.30% - as long as total assets under management within a household are valued
at $1 million or more.
Fees may be negotiated depending on the nature of the assets, planning relationships,
frequency of review, reporting and rebalancing activities. Clients may choose to exclude
specific securities, accounts and/or cash balances from value of assets under
management when they are held in accounts under Adviser’s supervision for
administrative convenience. Adviser will execute transactions involving these assets as
instructed by clients but Adviser will not provide pro-active, day-to-day supervision of
excluded portfolio components. Custody, maintenance, transaction and other fees may
be charged by other third parties.
B. Compensation based on hourly rates is payable after services are rendered. Time is
generally billed monthly. Retainers are generally billed in accordance with procedures
defined by the terms of employer-sponsored financial counseling programs. Fees based on
a percentage of assets under management are billed quarterly in arrears. As a convenience,
fees will be transferred from client accounts to the Adviser’s account after quarterly
performance reports and a detailed invoice have been sent to the client. Clients may also
choose to remit fees from other resources.
Investment advisory services may be terminated by written notification. Fees based on the
value of assets on the effective date of the termination are prorated for the number of days
under supervision during the quarter. Since investment advisory fees are never billed in
advance, TFA has not established formal refund procedures. In the rare instances of a
billing error or negotiated reduction in fees, refunds are either issued in cash or credited
against fees for future services, at the client's discretion. All bills are reviewed for accuracy
by a manager or the managing member prior to release.
C. Fees and expenses charged by mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (“ETF”) and other
pooled investment products that Adviser recommends are paid to managers and sponsors
from capital invested and income earned. These costs are disclosed in tables located near the
front of the fund’s prospectus. IPS documents and other communications with clients about
recommended funds include Morningstar or similar reports that generally describe and
estimate fees. TFA never receives any portion of the fees or expenses paid to mutual funds
or other product sponsors.
Additional fees charged by the Custodian include: wire transfer fees; transaction fees on
selected mutual funds, publicly traded stocks/exchange traded funds (“ETFs”)1 and
options; and account termination fees. Details can be found on our website at
www.trufinancial.com and in Item 12 – Brokerage Practices. |
