Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
The specific way fees are charged by Nestlerode & Loy, Inc. is established in a client’s written
agreement with Nestlerode & Loy, Inc. The advisor will generally bill its management fees on a
quarterly basis (three-month intervals, not necessarily at the end of calendar quarters) based on
the market value of each account on the third Friday of the appropriate month.
Individuals may have multiple accounts. Each account will be charged according to its individual
investment objective (IO). Fees may be discounted at the discretion of the Advisor.
An account will consist of equities and/or a combination of equities, fixed income and publicly
traded REITs to achieve the total return expectation and risk tolerance of the client by investing
in multiple asset classes (i.e. large, mid, small cap stocks, investment grade, high yield and
foreign stocks) and various investment styles (including but not limited to aggressive growth,
growth, growth & income, aggressive income and asset allocation.)
Annual fee schedule (post 8/2011):

conditions/events will occur), Nestlerode & Loy, Inc. maintains cash positions for defensive
purposes. All cash positions (money markets, etc.) shall be included as part of assets under
management for purposes of calculating the advisory fee. Nestlerode & Loy, Inc.’s Chief
Compliance Officer, Jody Sharer, remains available to address any questions that a client or
prospective may have regarding the above fee billing practice.
Nestlerode & Loy, Inc. has limited custody solely as a result of receiving fees directly deducted
from client’s funds or securities because Nestlerode & Loy, Inc. possesses written authorization
from the client to deduct advisory fees from an account held by a qualified custodian; sends the
qualified custodian written notice of the amount of the fee to be deducted from the client’s
account and; sends the client a written invoice itemizing the fee, including any formulae used to
calculate the fee, the time period covered by the fee and the amount of assets under management
on which the fee is based.
Management fees shall not be prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal made
during the applicable calendar quarter.
Nestlerode & Loy, Inc.’s fees are exclusive of transaction fees, and other related costs and
expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by
custodians, brokers, and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees,
deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund
fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds
and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a funds’
prospectus. Any 12b-1 paid to the firm in a managed account is refunded to the client by RBC.
First run fixed income offerings may also pay an additional markup which is disclosed on the
trade confirmation. No advisor is paid on markup or ticket charges. Such charges, fees and

No fees are payable in advance. New clients may cancel the advisory account within five business
days without charge. Fees are negotiable in certain instances as determined by the advisor and
agreed to in writing by the advisory client. Clients may terminate their agreement with
Nestlerode & Loy, Inc. with written notice at any time. A pro-rated, closing management fee does
