Investment Management Services
G. DeWayne McAnally, LLC (hereinafter “GDM” or “the firm”) offers a wrap fee program, Navigator Plus Wrap
Fee Program (“the Wrap Fee Program”), whereby GDM manages client accounts for a single, bundled fee
that includes portfolio management services, custodial services, and transaction/commission costs. Under the
Wrap Fee Program, GDM offers discretionary investment advice designed to assist clients in obtaining
professional portfolio management for an inclusive “wrap fee.”
As used in this Brochure, the term "Associated Person" refers to anyone from our firm who is an officer,
employee, and all individuals providing investment advice on behalf of our firm. Where required, such persons
are properly registered as investment adviser representatives.
GDM provides Investment Management Services by identifying your needs, goals, risk tolerance, and time
horizon and by performing a regular analysis and review of portfolios utilizing a quantitative and qualitative
approach. Our firm provides advice concerning the attainment, holdings, management, reinvestment and
disposition of cash, securities, and other assets of your portfolio in relationship to the suitability of your financial
needs and goals.
Analytical tools, research and software will be used to determine your investment goals and objectives. These
tools can address any level of risk from conservative to aggressive portfolios, tailored to fit your financial needs.
GDM provides investment management services through accounts maintained at Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc., (“Schwab”) or other designated custodians. The designated custodian will maintain custody of all funds
and securities. Our firm will not have direct access to client funds and securities.
The portfolio management services for the Wrap Fee Program are offered on a discretionary basis. Our
investment advice is tailored to meet our clients' needs and investment objectives. Subject to any written
guidelines that you may provide, we will be granted discretionary authority to manage your account. Once the
portfolio allocation has been agreed upon, the ongoing supervision and management of the portfolio will be our
responsibility. Discretionary authorization is granted to us by you in a written agreement. This allows our firm
to decide on specific securities, the quantity of the securities and placing buy or sell orders for your account
without obtaining your approval for each transaction. This type of authorization is granted using either the
investment advisory agreement the client signs with our firm, a limited power of attorney agreement, or trading
authorization forms. You may limit our discretionary authority (for example, limiting the types of securities that
can be purchased for your account) by providing our firm with restrictions and guidelines in writing.
Wrap accounts are managed to diversify clients’ investments and the firm will typically construct each client's
account using mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), bonds, equities and other investment tools, to build
diversified portfolios.. Additionally, will provide advice on existing investments you may hold at the inception of
the advisory relationship or on other types of investments for which you ask advice. Because some types of
investments involve certain additional degrees of risk, they will only be implemented/recommended when
consistent with the client's stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity, and suitability.
Asset allocation models diversified among investment styles and/or asset classes are developed and managed
by us based on research conducted by GDM. Once the client portfolio is constructed, GDM provides continuous
supervision of the portfolio as changes in the market conditions and client circumstances may require.
Investments and allocations are determined based upon the clients’ predefined objectives, risk tolerance, time
horizons, financial horizons, financial information, and other various suitability factors. Further restrictions and
guidelines imposed by clients may affect the composition and performance of a client’s portfolio. As such,
different clients of our firm may have significant differences in their asset allocation. For these reasons,
performance of one client’s portfolio might not be identical with another client’s even if both clients have similar
risk parameters. We review the clients’ financial circumstances and investment objectives on a regular basis
and make adjustments to clients’ portfolios or allocation models as may be necessary to achieve the desired
results. At all times, our firm requires each Associated Person to uphold their fiduciary duty by providing advice
that in our judgement is in the Client’s best interest.
Management Fees
GDM offers investment management services for a percentage of assets under management. The fee
schedule for this service is:
Assets under management Annual Fee
Under $250,000 1.35 %
$250,000 - $500,000 1.20 %
$500,001 - $750,000 1.05 %
Over $750,000 0.90 %
Fees are negotiable depending on the needs of the client and complexity of the situation. The exact fee for
services will be agreed upon and disclosed in the client agreement prior to services being provided.
Fees for our investment management services are normally billed quarterly in advance based on the value of
your account at the end of the previous quarter. Other billing arrangements may be offered. Fees are generally
deducted directly from your account. You must provide the custodian with written authorization to have fees
deducted from the account and paid to G. DeWayne McAnally, LLC. Upon our discretion, you may pay fees
directly to our firm. If you pay fees directly, payment is due upon receipt of the billing statement from our firm.
Fees will be prorated based on the number of days that services are provided when the account is established
or terminated at any time other than the beginning of a calendar quarter. Any hourly fees that are charged will
be billed directly to the client after the hourly services have been rendered.
The custodian will send you statements, at least quarterly, showing all disbursements for the account including
the amount of the advisory fee, if such fee is deducted directly from your account.
GDM receives a portion of the Wrap Fee for portfolio management services and Schwab will receive a portion
of the fee for trade execution and custodial services. The terms and conditions under which a client participates
in the Wrap Fee Program are set forth in the written agreement between the client and GDM. The overall cost
incurred from participation in the Wrap Fee Program may be higher or lower than if the services were purchased
separately.
In addition, you may incur certain charges imposed by third parties other than our firm in connection with
investments made through the account, including but not limited to, mutual fund sales loads, 12(b)-1 fees and
surrender charges, variable annuity fees and surrender charges, and IRA and qualified retirement plan fees.
Management fees charged by our firm are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by
investment company securities that may be recommended to you. A description of these fees and expenses
are available in each investment company security’s prospectus.
The minimum account balance required to open a Managed Account is $25,000; however, GDM may, at its
discretion, reduce the minimum managed account balance, and may negotiate fees with employees, or clients.
Fees will be charged against the managed assets, including cash balances, money market fund shares and
other Managed Account positions.
Although we believe our fees are reasonable in relation to the services provided, you should be aware
comparable services may be available from other sources. Fees for our services may be more or less than the
cost of purchasing the same services separately through other investment advisers.
IRA Rollover Considerations:
As a normal extension of financial advice, we provide education or recommendations related to the rollover
of an employer-sponsored retirement plan. A plan participant leaving employment has several options. Each
choice offers advantages and disadvantages, depending on desired investment options and services, fees
and expenses, withdrawal options, required minimum distributions, tax treatment, and the investor's unique
financial needs and retirement plans. The complexity of these choices may lead an investor to seek
assistance from us.
An Associated Person who recommends an investor roll over plan assets into an Individual Retirement
Account (“IRA”) may earn an asset-based fee as a result, but no compensation if assets are retained in the
plan. Thus, we have an economic incentive to encourage an investor to roll plan assets into an IRA. In most
cases, fees and expenses will increase to the investor as a result because the above-described fees will
apply to assets rolled over to an IRA and outlined ongoing services will be extended to these assets.
We are fiduciaries under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and when we provide investment advice to you
regarding your retirement plan account or individual retirement account, we are also fiduciaries within the
meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and/or the Internal Revenue Code, as
applicable, which are laws governing retirement accounts. We have to act in your best interests and not put
our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your
interests.
Billing on Cash Positions: The firm treats cash and cash equivalents as an asset class. Accordingly, unless
otherwise agreed in writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions (e.g., money market funds, etc.) are
included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating the firm’s advisory fee. At any
specific point in time, depending upon perceived or anticipated market conditions/events (there being no
guarantee that such anticipated market conditions/events will occur), the firm may maintain cash and/or cash
equivalent positions for defensive, liquidity, or other purposes. While assets are maintained in cash or cash
equivalents, such amounts could miss market advances and, depending upon current yields, at any point in
time, the firm’s advisory fee could exceed the interest paid by the client’s cash or cash equivalent positions.
Periods of Portfolio Inactivity: The firm has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s
best interest. As part of its investment advisory services, the firm will review client portfolios on an ongoing
basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to
investment performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, the client’s financial
circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment objectives. Based upon these and other factors, there
may be extended periods of time when the firm determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are neither
necessary nor prudent. Notwithstanding, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the firm’s annual investment
advisory fee will continue to apply during these periods, and there can be no assurance that investment
decisions made by the firm will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
Termination of Agreements
Your agreement may be cancelled at any time, by either party, for any reason, upon receipt of 30 days written
notice. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any
earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. You have the right to terminate an agreement without penalty
within five business days after entering the agreement.
