Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Reaves’ advisory fees are negotiable. Compensation arrangements can vary depending upon the nature
of the client and the investment strategy selected.
In general, advisory fees are charged quarterly, in arrears, at the end of each calendar quarter, unless
otherwise specified in the client's advisory contract. Fees are normally based on the total market value
of the account, including accrued income, as of the close of business on the last business day of each
calendar quarter, payable upon receipt of an invoice, which is usually mailed to clients within three
weeks following the quarter end. Clients may elect to be billed directly for fees or, in some cases,
authorize Reaves to directly debit fees from their accounts. The billing method may depend on the
policies of the client’s custodian.
For periods of less than a full calendar quarter, the advisory fee will be adjusted to reflect only the
number of days during the quarter for which the account was under management. The advisory fee will
also be adjusted to reflect any material additions to, or withdrawals from, the account. The adjustment
is based on the number of days during the quarter the amount of the addition or withdrawal was under
management, using the lowest applicable marginal rate(s).
Reaves’ fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses which may be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians,
brokers and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges,
odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on
brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange-traded funds also charge
internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and
commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Reaves’ fee.
Item 12 further describes the factors that Reaves considers in selecting or recommending broker-dealers
for our clients’ transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g.,
commissions).

If a client has established, or at a future date establishes, additional segregated account(s) with Reaves,
creating a group (“family”) of accounts, the advisory fee rate for the original account, as well as the
additional account(s), will be based on the aggregate value of the group in accordance with the
provisions stated above. This computation will afford all accounts in the group the benefit of the lowest
applicable marginal fee rate. The advisory fee invoices will be itemized to reflect each account's
individual advisory fee based on its respective proportionate weight in the group.
Reaves as Executing Broker:
Reaves withdrew its broker-dealer license effective on April 22, 2019.
Termination of Contract:
A client can terminate an investment advisory contract at any time by giving Reaves written notice of
such termination, subject to the terms of the contract then in effect.
In the case of a client that pays investment advisory fees in advance and terminates the investment
advisory contract prior to the completion of a calendar quarter, a refund will be sent to the client within
30 business days of the quarter-end following the date of termination. The refund, based on the prorated
fee, will reflect the number of calendar days from the effective date of termination up to and including
the last day of the quarterly period. Refunds are also subject to each investment advisory agreement
then in effect. |
