ITEM 5 FEES AND COMPENSATION
A. The client can determine to engage the Registrant to provide discretionary and/or non- discretionary
investment advisory services on a fee basis.
INVESTMENT ADVISORY SERVICES
If a client determines to engage the Registrant to provide discretionary and/or non- discretionary
investment advisory services on a negotiable fee basis, the Registrant’s annual investment advisory
fee shall be based upon a percentage (%) of the market value and type of assets placed under the
Registrant’s management (between negotiable and 1.00%) as follows:
Market Value of Portfolio Annual Fee
Less than $2,000,000 0.50%
$2,000,001 to $10,000,000 0.375% - 0.50%
$10,000,001 to $20,000,000 0.30% - 0.375%
Over $20,000,000 Negotiable
RETIREMENT PLAN CONSULTING SERVICES
The fee for the services may be charged either at a pre-determined hourly rate, a fixed fee or based
upon a percentage of the plan assets. The exact fee will be negotiated in advance of services
rendered and shall be clearly set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Fixed Fee: Based on scope of services agreed upon in engagement, reasonable in light of
geographical location, complexity of engagement, size of plan, and other relevant factors.
RANGE: $5,000-$100,000
Hourly Fee: Based on estimate of hours needed as provided in engagement (client must approve in
writing hours above original engagement); reasonable in light of geographical location, complexity of
engagement, size of plan, and other relevant factors.
RANGE: $50-$300 per hour
Basis Points: Based on specific asset levels in plan at dates provided in the engagement.
RANGE: $0 to $20,000,000 0.10 to 1.00% of Assets Under Management
$20,000,001 to $40,000,000 0.05 to 0.50% of Assets Under Management
$40,000,001 and above 0.03 to 0.25% of Assets Under Management
At the inception of the relationship, the Company is required to pay Registrant an initial fixed retainer
prior to services rendered. Thereafter, all such fees are payable quarterly in advance as invoiced. As
noted below, in special circumstances other fee paying arrangements may be negotiated. Moreover,
at the Company’s consent, Registrant may bill out-of-pocket expenses (such as overnight mailings,
messenger, translation fees, etc.) at cost to the Company.
Fee Dispersion:
The Registrant’s investment advisory fee is negotiable at Registrant’s discretion, depending upon
objective and subjective factors, including but not limited to: the amount of assets to be managed;
portfolio composition; the scope and complexity of the engagement; the anticipated number of
meetings and servicing needs; related accounts; future earning capacity; anticipated future additional
assets; the professional(s) rendering the service(s); prior relationships with the Registrant and/or its
representatives, and negotiations with the client. As a result of these factors, similarly situated clients
could pay different fees, the services to be provided by the Registrant to any particular client could
be available from other advisers at lower fees, and certain clients may have fees different than those
specifically set forth above. The Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, B.J. Webster, Jr,
remains available to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have
regarding the above fee determination.
FINANCIAL PLANNING AND CONSULTING SERVICES (STAND-ALONE)
To the extent specifically requested by a client, the Registrant may determine to provide financial
planning and/or consulting services (including investment and non-investment related matters,
including estate planning, insurance planning, etc.) on a stand-alone fee basis. Registrant’s planning
and consulting fees are negotiable, but generally range from $750 to $8,500 on a fixed fee basis,
and from $175 to $325 on an hourly rate basis, depending upon the level and scope of the service(s)
required and the professional(s) rendering the service(s).
B. Clients may elect to have the Registrant’s advisory fees deducted from their custodial account. Both
Registrant's Investment Advisory Agreement and the custodial/ clearing agreement may authorize
the custodian to debit the account for the amount of the Registrant's investment advisory fee and to
directly remit that management fee to the Registrant in compliance with regulatory procedures. In the
limited event that the Registrant bills the client directly, payment is due upon receipt of the
Registrant’s invoice. The Registrant shall deduct fees and/or bill clients quarterly in advance, based
upon the market value of the assets on the last business day of the previous quarter.
C. As discussed below, unless the client directs otherwise or an individual client’s circumstances
require, the Registrant shall generally recommend that Charles Schwab and Co., Inc. (“Schwab”)
serve as the broker-dealer/custodian for client investment
management assets. Broker-dealers such as Schwab charge brokerage commissions and/or
transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions (i.e. transaction fees are charged for
certain no-load mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual equity and fixed income
securities transactions). In addition to Registrant’s investment management fee, brokerage
commissions and/or transaction fees, clients will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange

ITEM 7 TYPES OF CLIENTS
The Registrant’s clients shall generally include individuals, high net worth individuals, pension and
profit sharing plans, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. The Registrant does not generally
require an annual minimum fee or asset level for investment advisory services. The Registrant, in its
sole discretion, may charge a lesser investment management fee based upon certain criteria (i.e.
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of assets to
be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with client, etc.). Please Note:
Similar advisory services may be available from other investment advisers for similar or lower fees.
ANY QUESTIONS: Registrant’s Chief Compliance Officer, B.J. Webster, Jr., remains available to
address any questions that a client may have regarding its advisory fee schedule. |
