Overview
A. Description of the Advisory Firm
VCI Wealth Management LLC, d/b/a FEFA Financial LLC (hereinafter “FEFA
Financial”), provides portfolio management to clients under this wrap fee program as
sponsor and portfolio manager.
Total Assets Under Management Annual Fees
$0 - $250,000.00 1.25%
$250,000.01 - $1,250,000.00 1.00%
$1,250,000.01 - $2,250,000.00 0.75%
$2,250,000.01 AND UP 0.50%
Asset-based portfolio management fees are withdrawn directly from the client's accounts
with client's written authorization on a monthly basis.
Fees are paid in arrears. FEFA Financial uses an average of the daily balance in the client's
account throughout the billing period, after taking into account deposits and withdrawals,
for purposes of determining the market value of the assets upon which the advisory fee is
based.
These fees are generally negotiable and the final fee schedule will be memorialized in the
client’s advisory agreement. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a
full refund of FEFA Financial's fees within five business days of signing the Investment
Advisory Contract. Thereafter, clients may terminate the Investment Advisory Contract
immediately upon written notice.
B. Contribution Cost Factors
The program may cost the client more or less than purchasing such services separately.
There are several factors that bear upon the relative cost of the program, including the
trading activity in the client’s account, the adviser’s ability to aggregate trades, and the
cost of the services if provided separately (which in turn depends on the prices and
specific services offered
by different providers).
C. Additional Fees
FEFA Financial will wrap third party fees (i.e., custodian fees, brokerage fees, mutual fund
fees, transaction fees, etc.) for wrap fee portfolio management accounts. FEFA Financial
will charge clients one fee, and pay all transaction fees using the fee collected from the
client. Accounts participating in the wrap fee program are not charged higher advisory
fees based on trading activity, but clients should be aware that FEFA Financial has an
incentive to limit trading activities for those accounts since the firm absorbs those
transaction costs.
Certain other fees are not included in the wrap fee and are paid for separately by the client.
These include, but are not limited to, margin costs, charges imposed directly by a mutual
fund or exchange traded fund, fees associated with “step out” transactions if the account
uses different custodians or broker-dealers, 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.
D. Compensation of Client Participation
Neither FEFA Financial, nor any representatives of FEFA Financial receive any additional
compensation beyond advisory fees for the participation of client’s in the wrap fee
program. However, compensation received may be more than what would have been
received if client paid separately for investment advice, brokerage, and other services.
Therefore, FEFA Financial may have a financial incentive to recommend the wrap fee
program to clients.
