Fees and Compensation
Fees for Services are described below and will vary based on the extent, nature and complexity of the advice
requested and your financial needs and are therefore subject to negotiation. As a result, fees may vary from Client
to Client and from different Financial Advisors based on these and other factors. In general, these fees ordinarily
can range from $0 up to $25,000 for the engagement. We may elect to waive fees, in whole or in part, in our sole
discretion, including but not limited to in connection with promotional efforts or participation in other advisory
programs. Not all clients may have access to the same promotions, so it is possible that similarly situated clients will
pay a different advisory fee. Additionally, in certain circumstances, the fee may be negotiated at a higher rate due to
additional complexity. The specific fee of any Client will be included in the Client Agreement for the contracted
Services.

You may elect to pay the full amount of the fee at the conclusion of this agreement or elect to pay 50% with the
signing of the Agreement and 50% upon completion of the Services. Our fee does not include any updates to the
advice that we provide under this Agreement.
Fees can be paid by debiting a non-retirement account or you can pay by check. A portion of the fees for the Services
described herein is paid to our FAs.
We and your FA will not provide legal or accounting advice, and the fees payable by you under the Agreement for
these Services cover only the services rendered by us and do not cover fees of your specialists. In this regard, we
and your FA are not responsible for drafting or providing any legal or other documentation or taking any other action
relating to or arising from implementation of our advice (subject to the considerations set forth in the following
paragraph).
The fees described above do not cover fees and expenses (such as advisory fees, and brokerage expenses) incurred
in connection with the implementation of a plan or for the implementation of our advice and recommendations under
the Services. You may elect to implement our advice and recommendations in whole or in part through us but are
under no obligation to do so. In the event you elect to implement, you will be provided with an appropriate disclosure
document describing the nature and extent of the services provided by us, the fees charged by us for those services
and other related matters. The fees charged by us in connection with the implementation of our consulting services
are in addition to the fees incurred by you under this agreement for fee-based personal planning and consulting
services. We share a portion of these fees—whether advisory fees or brokerage expenses and commissions—with
your FA. As a result, your FA has an incentive to recommend the implementation of the plan through us and has an
incentive to recommend certain products or services over others based on the compensation they receive. We intend,
however, to make all recommendations independent of such compensation considerations and based solely on our
obligations to consider your objectives and needs.

Compensation Related to Our Financial Advisors and Branch Management
Financial Advisors. Financial Advisors providing service to Clients from either a WFA branch or an office located in
a Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. branch receive a percentage of the revenue that the Firm collects from brokerage
transactions and from ongoing fees collected from investment advisory accounts. Typically, a Financial Advisor’s
product or service-based payout schedule (periodically adjusted by us at our discretion) increases with production
and asset levels. The same payout schedule is reduced when Financial Advisors discount certain client fees and

Types of Clients We provide the "Services" described in this brochure to individuals or trusts. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss The advice and recommendations associated with these Services are developed by your Financial Advisor using information, materials and/or tools provided by Wells Fargo. Certain planning tools may employ simulation techniques (e.g. Monte Carlo simulations, retirement income calculators) and complex statistical analyses to illustrate or present the likelihood of possible investment and financial outcomes. These tools are used as part of the planning process and inform the process; the outputs of these tools are not intended, in and of themselves, to be viewed as nor construed as, planning and advice. The outcomes rendered from these tools are hypothetical in nature and are no guarantee of future actual investment results or future income streams. The outputs of these tools can vary with each use and over time. You have the option whether to implement all or a part of our planning advice through us. If you choose to implement any portion of our planning advice through one of the advisory Programs that we offer, you will be provided with an additional disclosure document describing those services. Risk of Loss If you choose to implement any portion of your plan through us, please be aware that all investments shall be at your risk exclusively, and you must understand that we do not guarantee any return on the investments recommended or advised upon. |
