West Branch Capital LLC

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The following paragraphs detail the fee structure and compensation methodology for our Investment
Advisory services. Each Client shall sign an Investment Advisory Agreement that details the responsibilities
of West Branch Capital and the Client.

A. Fees for Advisory Services

Portfolio Management
For services provided by West Branch Capital, Investment Advisory Fees are paid quarterly in arrears or in
advance pursuant to the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement we have in writing with each client.

For services provided by West Branch Capital, the fees fall within the range of the schedules below. Fees are
based on the value of the account on the last business day of the preceding quarter. The following is our
standard fee schedule. Because our fees are negotiable, fee rates can vary from client to client.

                                  Annual Rate       Assets Under Management
                                  1.50%             First $500,000
                                  1.10%             Next $500,000
                                  .75%              Next $1,000,000-$3,000,000
                                  .65%              Next $3,000,000-$5,000,000
                                  .50%              Next $5,000,000-$10,000,000
                                  .40%              Next $10,000,000-$15,000,000
                                  .30%              Next $15,000,000-$20,000,000
                                  .25%              Above $20,000,000

This is a blended fee schedule. This means that the assets in a client’s account will be billed at different
levels according to the fee schedule above. For example, if a client had an account value of $9,000,000 then
the first $500,000 is billed at 1.50%, the next $500,000 is billed at 1.10%, the portion from $1,000,000 to
$3,000,000 is billed at .75%, the portion from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 is billed at .65% and the final portion
from $5,000,000 to $9,000,000 is billed at 0.50% for an effective blended (or average) fee rate of 0.68%.

Fees are prorated when deposits and withdrawals are made.

Investment Advisory Fees in the first quarter of service are prorated from the inception date of the account
to the end of the first quarter.

Financial Planning Services
West Branch Capital‘s financial planning services are provided in connection with or as part of our
Portfolio Management services. For clients receiving Portfolio Management services, all financial
planning services are covered by the Porfolio Management fees described above. We do not charge a
separate or stand-alone hourly or fixed fee to our Portfolio Management clients for financial planning
services.

B. Fee Billing

Portfolio Management
Investment Advisory Fees can be paid by check or automatically deducted from the Client Account by the
Custodian. The Adviser shall send a billing statement to the Custodian indicating the amount of the fees
deducted from the Client Account for the respective quarter-end date. The amount due is calculated by
applying the quarterly rate (annual rate divided by 4) to the total assets under management with West
Branch Capital at the end of the prior quarter. Clients will be provided with a monthly statement from the
Custodian reflecting amount of deduction of the Investment Advisory Fee when deducted at the beginning
of each quarter. In addition, the Adviser will provide the Client a quarterly billing statement itemizing the
fee, including the calculation period covered by the fee, the account value, and the methodology used to
calculate the fee. It is the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of these fees deducted from
their accounts and as listed on the Custodian’s brokerage statement, as the Custodian does not assume
this responsibility. The Client should notify the Adviser immediately if there is any discrepancy in the

billing statement. Clients will provide written authorization permitting West Branch Capital to be paid
directly from their accounts held by the Custodian as part of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

C. Other Fees and Expenses
Clients can incur certain commissions or charges imposed by third parties, other than West Branch Capital,
in connection with investments made on behalf of the Client’s account(s). The Client is responsible for all
custodial and security commissions and other fees, if any, charged by the custodian or executing
broker/dealer. The Investment Advisory Fee charged by West Branch Capital is separate and distinct from
these custodial and execution fees.

In addition, all fees paid to West Branch Capital for Investment Advisory services are separate and distinct
from the expenses charged by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds to their shareholders, if applicable.
These fees and expenses are described in each fund’s prospectus. These fees and expenses will generally be
used to pay management fees for the funds, other fund expenses, account administration (e.g., custody,
brokerage and account reporting), and a possible distribution fee. A Client could invest in these products
directly, without the services of West Branch Capital, but would not receive the services provided by West
Branch Capital which are designed, among other things, to assist the Client in determining which products
or services are most appropriate to each Client’s financial condition and objectives. Accordingly, the Client
should review both the fees charged by the fund[s] and the fees charged by West Branch Capital to fully
understand the total fees to be paid.

At West Branch Capital’s discretion, for certain clients, West Branch Capital will assume the responsibility
of the payment of legal fees charged by an unaffiliated third-party law firm that provides estate planning
services to the client. In this situation, the client is not required to reimburse West Branch Capital for legal-
...

Item 7 – Types of Clients

West Branch Capital provides Investment Advisory services to individuals, high net worth individuals,
trusts, estates, corporations and other businesses. The relative percentage of each type of Client is
available on West Branch Capital’s Form ADV Part 1. These percentages will change over time.

West Branch Capital generally requires a minimum account size of $1,000,000 to implement its
Investment Advisory process. The minimum account value may be waived at the discretion of the
Adviser.
