Item 5. Fees and Compensation
Investment Management Services Agreement
Fees for investment management services are based upon a net percentage
of assets under management at the beginning of the quarter. For other
assignments a fee is negotiated.
Due to the differing nature of each client’s needs, different fee amounts may
be charged to different clients for the same or similar services. No
performance fees are charged
The following fee schedule is provided:
Assets under management Fee
On the first $1,000,000 0.25% Quarterly
From $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 0.20% Quarterly
On assets over $2,000,000 0.125% Quarterly
For clients that maintain investment account balances over $500,000, any
fees due M. Lee West, CPA, P.A. for financial planning or income tax services
are paid by West Financial Strategies, Inc. on behalf of the client.
Fee Billing
Investment management fees are billed quarterly, in advance, meaning that
we invoice you before the three-month billing period has begun. Fees are
usually deducted from designated client accounts to facilitate billing. The
client must consent in advance to direct debiting of their investment account.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain
mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. These transaction charges are
usually small and incidental to the purchase or sale of a security. The
selection of the security is more important than the nominal fee that the
custodian charges to buy or sell the security.
WEST FINANCIAL STRATEGIES, INC., in its sole discretion, may waive its
minimum fee and/or charge a lesser investment advisory fee based upon
certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets, anticipated future
earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations
with clients, etc.).
West Financial Strategies, Inc.
Expense Ratios
Mutual funds generally charge a management fee for their services as
investment managers. The management fee is called an expense ratio. For
example, an expense ratio of 0.25 means that the mutual fund company
charges 0.25% for their services. These fees are in addition to the fees paid
by you to WEST FINANCIAL STRATEGIES, INC.
Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various publications
are after their fees have been deducted.
Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement
WEST FINANCIAL STRATEGIES, INC. reserves the right to stop work on
any account that is more than 15 days overdue. In addition, WEST
FINANCIAL STRATEGIES, INC. reserves the right to terminate any
engagement where a client has willfully concealed or has refused to provide
pertinent information about financial situations when necessary and
appropriate, in WEST FINANCIAL STRATEGIES, INC.’s judgment, to
providing proper financial advice. Any unearned portion of fees collected in
advance will be refunded within 15 days. |
