Fees and Compensation
Description
Westco Advisory Services, bases its fees on a percentage of assets under
management, hourly charges, and fixed fees.
Financial plans are priced, in advance, according to the degree of complexity
associated with the client’s situation.
Fee Billing
Investment management fees for individually managed accounts are billed
quarterly, in advance, meaning that we invoice you before the three-month
billing period has begun. Fees are usually deducted from a designated client
account to facilitate billing. The client must consent in advance in writing to
direct debiting of their investment account. Accounts that are custodied at
Schwab are billed at this method.
Participant Account Management (Discretionary) fees will be assigned to the
client’s taxable accounts on a pro-rata basis. If the client does not have a
taxable account, those fees will be billed directly to the client. Accounts
initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a pro-rated
fee based on the amount of time remaining in the billing period. An account
may be terminated immediately upon written notice. Since fees are billed in
advance, if an account is terminated, the client will receive pro-rated return of
fees. It will be based on total held away asset from each company. For
instance if we obtain assets from a particular company, their combined
amount can trigger a breakpoint.
Outside money managers may use a different billing cycle or a different
calculation method. Each will be disclosed later in this brochure on pages 9
and 10 in the section dealing with outside money managers.
Fees for financial plans are billed 50% in advance, with the balance due upon
delivery of the financial plan.
After delivery of the financial plan the client has up to 20 days to return it for a
full refund if they are not satisfied for any reason whatsoever.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of securities.
These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase or
Westco Advisory Services, Inc.
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.
Westco Advisory Services, 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 earn capacity,
anticipated future additional assets, dollar amounts of assets to be managed,
related accounts, account composition, negotiations with clients, etc.).
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 0.50 means that the mutual fund company
charges 0.5% for their services. These fees are in addition to the fees paid
by you to Westco Advisory Services, Inc.
The expense ratio for an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) will usually range
from .05 to .6 and will be disclosed in the proposal for the account.
Performance figures quoted by mutual fund companies in various publications
are after their fees have been deducted.
Past Due Accounts and Termination of Agreement
Westco Advisory Services, Inc. reserves the right to stop work on any account
that is more than 30 days overdue. In addition, Westco Advisory Services,
Inc. reserves the right to terminate any financial planning engagement where
a client has willfully concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information
about financial situations when necessary and appropriate, in Westco
Advisory Services, Inc.’s judgment, to providing proper financial advice. Any
unused portion of fees collected in advance will be refunded within 15
business days. |

organizations, corporations or business entities.
Client relationships vary in scope and length of service.
Account Minimums

$1500.00 is charged.
Westco Advisory Services, Inc. has the discretion to waive the account

$1500 minimum annual fee. Clients with assets below the minimum account
size may pay a higher percentage rate on their annual fees than the fees paid
by clients with greater assets under management.
