iAPW (USA), as a registered investment advisor under the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), offers clients two different types of advisory accounts on either a wrap or
non-wrap fee basis. In either instance we tailor our services to your individual needs. More
information about the types of accounts offered by iAPW (USA) follows below. Our advice and
recommendations are specific to assets we manage in your account(s) and we do not represent
that our services are based on, or meant to replace, a comprehensive evaluation of your full
financial situation that incorporates all of your financial circumstances, needs and objectives.
Additional information about Fees and Compensation can be found in Items 5 and 12 of our
Form ADV – Part 2A Brochure (“Brochure”). This document should be read in conjunction with
our Brochure.
Managed Accounts
These discretionary accounts provide your IAR with the authority to make investment decisions
on your behalf, based on well-defined guidelines established in your Investment Policy
Statement. You may choose to impose restrictions on the types of securities or types of
investing done in these accounts.
Separately Managed Accounts
(“SMA Program” or “SMA Account”): This is a discretionary investment platform that can be
customized by you and your IAR. The SMA Program provides access to investment managers
across a variety of mandates, regions, asset classes and investment styles. Each manager is
selected for their expertise in a specific investment product, strategy or geographic region, as
your mandate dictates. There is a limited ability to restrict managers in the SMA Program, but
there is an ability to restrict which managers are used and the types of assets that your account
may hold.
iAPW (USA) Wrap Program
iAPW (USA) is the sponsor and investment manager of its Wrap Program (“Program”). Under
our Program, iAPW (USA) offers you discretionary investment management services for a
single, specified annual Program fee, inclusive of trade execution, custody, reporting, and
investment management fees. The current annual Program fee ranges varies (between 0.5%
and 2.5%) depending upon the market value of the assets under iAPW (USA)’s
management/advisement, as well as the level and scope of the overall investment advisory
services provided, negotiations with us, and various other factors. The level and scope of
services provided is based on objective and subjective factors, which include the total value of
assets placed under our management and the complexity of the engagement, as well as your
desired level and scope of any financial planning and consulting services.
iAPW (USA) has an agreement with Lockwood Advisors, Inc. (“Lockwood”) to offer its full range
of Managed360 program offerings (“360Program”) to iAPW (USA)’s clients. The 360Program

Portfolio offerings, and a unified managed account option. Lockwood provides managed
account services as well as a full range of investment solutions and is a registered investment
adviser with the SEC. iA Private Wealth (USA) will help you determine the most suitable
360Program offering after considering, among other things, your personal investment
objectives, risk tolerance and unique circumstances.

Fee Calculation
Our annual Program fee charged is calculated as described above and is not charged based on
a share of capital gains upon, or capital appreciation of, your Program assets.
Fee Payment
You will be charged in arrears at the end of each month or calendar quarter based on your
monthly daily account balance of billable assets being managed by iAPW (USA). We will charge
a prorated fee to cover the period of time that we manage your Program account for partial
billing periods. Full or partial iAPW (USA) Program fees, as applicable, will be due and payable
should you choose to end your participation in the Program.
Lockwood’s Program Fees and Company Fees are billed in advance from the date you open the
account through the end of that calendar quarter. Thereafter, fees are billed in advance for the
next calendar quarter based on the value of the assets at the end of the prior calendar quarter.
Lockwood will automatically debit its fees from your account as they become due.
Please consult with your professional advisors to obtain legal or tax advice to understand how
liquidation may result in tax consequences and prior to entering into our client agreement, or the
Lockwood agreement.
You should know that selecting our Program may cost more or less when compared to
purchasing each service individually. The Program fee charged by iAPW (USA) for participating
in the Program may be higher or lower than those charged by other service providers of
comparable wrap fee programs. Please read this Wrap Brochure in full for more information.
The Program fee does not include certain charges, service and administrative fees, including
but not limited to, fees charged by SMA Account managers, transaction charges (including
mark-ups and mark-downs) resulting from trades effected through or with a broker-dealer other
than our Custodian, transfer taxes, odd lot differentials, exchange fees, interest charges,
American Depository Receipt agency processing fees, and any charges, taxes or other fees
mandated by a federal, state or other applicable law or otherwise agreed to with regard to client
accounts. Account service fees and other additional fees or costs applicable to specific activities
may apply, e.g., wiring funds or insufficient funds/returned items, foreign settlement fees, etc.
These additional fees and expenses are in addition to the Program’s fee. Our IARs may invest
your assets in mutual fund or other comingled investment vehicles that may charge fees in
addition to those charged by iAPW (USA).
Please also refer to items 5 (Fees and Compensation), 10 (Conflicts of Interest) and 14 (Client
Referrals) in our Brochure for additional information; Item 5 informs you of how fees will be
automatically debited from your account.
