Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Compensation for Advisory Services
Investment Advisory Fees
WCM separates its business between wealth management clients and institutional clients. WCM typically
charges investment advisory fees in advance ranging from 0.035% to 1.00% per annum on the value of
the assets on the last day of the previous quarter based on the size and nature of the account and type
of management strategy employed. Advisory fees are negotiated with each client. The services that WCM
provides to its wealth management clients may differ from the services it provides to its institutional
clients. At WCM’s sole discretion, WCM may provide account management services at discounted rates
for special situations which might include related accounts of significant clients, household related
accounts, friends and family accounts, and employees. WCM may split servicing fees with sub-advisors.
Non-Discretionary Accounts
Fees for non-discretionary accounts are negotiable depending upon the size of the portfolio and scope
of services to be provided but will not exceed the fee schedules disclosed below. Minimum account size
is $1,000,000 which may be waived at the discretion of WCM.
Discretionary Accounts
WCM manages client portfolios directly and through Advisors in a discretionary manner in several
strategies. The fees for wealth management and institutional discretionary accounts are negotiable
depending upon the strategy, the size of the portfolio, and the scope of services to be provided, but will
not exceed the fee schedules disclosed below. The investment strategies listed below may include sub-
strategies that are consistent with the objective and parameters of the main investment strategy but may
differ in composition of the asset allocation from the listed strategy. The fees and minimum account size
will vary depending on whether the client is a direct relationship with WCM or whether WCM is providing
investment management services through an Advisor.
Wealth Management Client Fee Schedule. The minimum account size for a discretionary wealth
management account is generally $500,000 which can be waived at the sole discretion of WCM. The fee
