Uptick Partners LLC

ITEM 5 - FEES AND COMPENSATION
In addition to the information provided in Item 4 – Advisory Business, this section details Our Firm’s services
and each service’s fees and compensation arrangement. The Client and Uptick Partners, LLC’s Investment
Advisory Agreement will outline and agree upon the exact costs and other terms related to the Client’s
Accounts.
Your total cost includes Our advisory fee and, when applicable, program or strategy fees charged by third-party
managers or platforms, plus custodian charges and product expenses. We bill Our advisory fee monthly in
arrears as described below. Program and strategy fees are in addition to Our advisory fee and are described in
the relevant manager’s brochure. Product-level expenses, such as the expense ratios of mutual funds, ETFs, or
annuities, and custodian or transaction charges are paid to those parties and are not billed by Us. We provide
each client with a fee summary before account opening that lists the fees that will apply and, where feasible,
estimates third-party costs based on the client’s selections.

                                                                                                  ADV PART 2A.V12 | 2026

A. INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
  Our Firm offers investment management services for an annual fee based on the amount of assets
  under management. Our maximum annual fee is 1.50%, based on a blended tier fee schedule, and We
  do not impose a minimum account size. Our annual fee is reasonable in relation to (1) the services
  provided and (2) the fees charged by other investment advisers offering similar services/programs.
  Our annual fee is prorated and charged monthly, in arrears, based on the average daily balance of the
  Client’s assets under management as of the close of business market value on the last business day of
  the previous month. Cash and cash equivalents, including money market funds, are subject to the
  agreed-upon advisory fee. Clients should understand that the advisory fees charged on these balances
  may exceed the returns provided by cash, cash equivalents, or money market funds, especially in low-
  interest rate environments.
  Managed legacy positions are included within Our Firm’s standard investment management fee and
  are outlined in the executed investment management agreement.
  Our Firm retains complete discretion to negotiate fees and may waive or impose different fees on any
  Client. The investment advisory fees will be deducted from Your account and paid directly to Our Firm
  by the qualified Custodian(s) of Your account. The Client will authorize the account's qualified
  Custodian(s) to deduct fees from the account and pay such fees directly to Our Firm. All account assets,
  transactions, and advisory fees will be shown on the monthly or quarterly statements provided by the
  Custodian. You should review Your account statements received from the qualified Custodian(s) and
  verify that appropriate investment advisory fees are being deducted. The qualified Custodian(s) will not
  verify the accuracy of the investment advisory fees deducted. We may aggregate related Client
  accounts to calculate the advisory fee applicable to the Client. The investment management agreement
  will outline the fee charged to a Client and any breakpoints based on the level of assets managed. The
  fees are subject to change with prior written notice to the Client.
  Some client households may be enrolled in Altruist One, an optional program subscription offered by
  Our custodian’s affiliate. If We deem its appropriate and you elect to participate in Altruist One, We
  will pass through the program fee of 0.12% per year of eligible household assets. Altruist One is
  provided by Altruist Corp; program features and terms are set by Altruist and may change. Program
  participation is at Our discretion and may vary by client need. Wealth Management Fee and the billed
  program or strategy fees shall not exceed 2.00% per year, exclusive of internal product expenses,
  custodian charges, transaction costs, and taxes.
  Our annual investment advisory fee may be higher than that of other investment advisers that offer
  similar services and programs. In addition to Our compensation, you may incur charges imposed at the
  mutual fund level (e.g., advisory fees and other fund expenses).
  Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar month will generally be charged a prorated fee
  based on the days the Client account was open during that month.

B. FINANCIAL PLANNING & ADVICE
  Our investment management services typically include financial planning; however, Clients have the
  option to engage Us separately for financial planning services. These services are offered on a fixed-
  fee or hourly basis, with fees mutually agreed upon in advance, typically $300 to $500 per hour.
  For Clients who choose standalone financial planning services without investment management
  services, fees range from $1,000 to $50,000. These fees are negotiable and determined based on
  various factors, including the scope of services requested, the complexity of the Client’s financial
  situation, the investment adviser representative involved, the composition of the Client’s account, other
  advisory services provided, and the overall Client relationship.
                                                                                             UPTICK PARTNERS, LLC
                                                                                           ADV PART 2A.V12 | 2026

        Additionally, Clients may engage Uptick for consulting on insurance as part of their financial planning
        services.
        The amount of the fee for Your engagement is specified in Your financial planning agreement with Us.

MINIMUM ACCOUNT REQUIREMENTS
Uptick does not impose a minimum annual fee for investment management services. Fees are determined
based on a variety of factors, including the scope of services provided, the complexity of the Client’s financial
situation, the dollar amount of assets managed, related accounts, account composition, and the overall Client
relationship. In certain cases, fees may be adjusted based on factors such as anticipated future earning capacity,
potential additional assets, pre-existing Client relationships, account retention considerations, or pro bono
activities.
