Advisory Solutions Wrap Fee Program. Park Place Capital Corporation (the “Firm” or "we")
offers the Advisory Solutions Wrap Fee Program (“Program”) whereby the Firm manages Client
accounts for a single fee that includes portfolio management services, custodial services and the
transaction/commission costs. Under this Program, customers have the option to obtain investment
advice either on a discretionary or non-discretionary basis in a manner designed to assist Clients
in obtaining professional asset management for a convenient single “Wrap Fee.”
As the portfolio manager, we are responsible for the research, security selection and
implementation of transaction orders in the Client’s account or for the selection of sub-advisor
“money managers” who conduct research, security selection and implementation of transaction
orders. The terms and conditions under which a Client participates in the Program will be set forth
in a written agreement between the Client and the Firm. The overall cost incurred from
participation in our Program may be higher or lower than if the services were purchased separately.
Once a Client has established their investment objectives, goals, risk tolerance, and an overall asset
allocation, we will assist the Client in selecting suitable allocations of assets among various
securities (each such allocation, a "Portfolio") from those available in the Program. Each Client
should carefully review each proposed Portfolio to understand the types of investments the
Portfolio will make as well as the risks related to each such Portfolio prior to investing in any
Portfolio. We have entered into one or more agreements with one or more third party advisers
(collectively, "Sub-Advisers") pursuant to which the Sub-Advisers make their Portfolios available
to our Clients in one of two ways: a Portfolio may be traded directly by the Sub-Adviser (in such
case, a “Manager-Traded Portfolio”), or we may retain trading responsibility over accounts in the
Portfolio (in such case, a “Model-Based Traded (“MBT”) Portfolio”).
Manager-Traded Portfolios. The Sub-Adviser for a Manager-Traded Portfolio assumes full
discretionary portfolio management responsibilities over each Client account invested in the
Portfolio (in that capacity, the third party adviser will be referred to as a “Portfolio Manager”),
including determining the securities to be bought or sold, implementing those decisions for the
invested accounts, and for all other aspects of portfolio management for the accounts. The Portfolio
Manager may implement trades through any broker-dealer, subject to the Portfolio Manager's
obligation to provide best execution in light of all applicable circumstances.
MBT Portfolios. Alternatively, if you select an MBT Portfolio, the Sub-Adviser will provide us
with its model Portfolio and ongoing updates, and we will be responsible for implementing those
transactions (in such capacity, the Sub-Adviser will be referred to as a “Model Adviser”).
Therefore, with respect to MBT Portfolios in the Program, we will retain discretionary trading
authority over Client accounts and will be considered the "Portfolio Manager".
Program Fee. Under the Program, our advisory services (including portfolio management or
advice regarding selecting sub-adviser money managers) and transaction services are provided for
one fee. The essential difference between transactional accounts and those under management in a
wrap-fee program is the way in which transaction services are paid.
The Program fee is a percentage of the assets under management, with the specific percentage to
be negotiated on an individual Client basis. The Program fee will not exceed an annual fee of
1.35% of assets under management. The Program fee is negotiable based on the type of client, the
complexity of the client’s situation, the composition of the client’s account, the potential for
additional account deposits, the relationship of the client with the investment adviser
representative, and the total amount of assets under management for the client. Our annual Program
fee may be higher than that charged by other investment advisers offering similar
services/programs. The exact Program fee to be charged is disclosed in the client agreement that
must be signed by both you and us before any services are provided.
The Program Fee is billed in advance on a quarterly basis. The effective date of the fee will be the
first day of the quarter during which the client agreement was signed. The initial Program Fee will
be prorated to cover the period from the date the Client account is opened and approved, through
the end of the then current full calendar quarter. For purposes of calculating the initial and
subsequent Program Fee, the account’s value includes the sum of the long market value of all
securities
(less margin debit balances), money market, and cash. No fee adjustment will be made
for partial withdrawals or for appreciation or depreciation of the account within a quarterly billing
period. In accordance with the terms of the individual Agreement, a pro-rata refund of fees charges
will be made to Client if the Account is closed within a quarterly billing period. We may modify
the Program fee upon prior written notice to the Client. If the Client does not agree to the modified
fee calculation, the Client may elect to terminate the advisory relationship.
Program fees are generally deducted from your account although you can also request that they be
billed directly to you. If fees are deducted from your account, you must authorize the qualified
custodian to deduct fees from your account and pay the fees directly to us. If you choose to have
fees billed directly to you, they are due upon receiving our billing notice. The billing notice details
the formula used to calculate the fee, the assets under management and the time period covered.
Fees for the services of our firm are due immediately after your receipt of the billing notice.
Other Fees and Charges. In addition to the Program fee, Clients may also incur certain charges
imposed by third parties. Such charges may include, but are not limited to: charges imposed
directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or exchange traded fund purchased for the account which
shall be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (e.g., fund advisory fees and other fund expenses),
deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees,
exchange and floor fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions
("Ancillary Fees"). The Firm may be entitled to a portion of these Ancillary Fees, which creates a
conflict of interest that gives Adviser an incentive to recommend such investments be made in the
Account.
Comparable Services; Potential Conflict of Interest. We believe our fees for advisory
services are reasonable with respect to the services provided and the fees charged by other
investment advisors offering similar services. However, lower fees for comparable services may
be available from other sources. The Program may cost the Client more or less than purchasing
such services separately. For example, if an account is not subject to a wrap fee and pays individual
brokerage costs (a "Non-Wrap Fee Account"), the Non-Wrap Fee Account may incur additional
expenses if numerous securities transactions are executed. Conversely, the Program Fee may be
higher than the overall fees in a Non-Wrap Fee Account if there are very few securities transactions
within an account. We will receive a portion of the Program fee as described above, and the amount
of our portion of the Program fee may be more than what we would receive if the Client
participated in a Non-Wrap Fee Account. Therefore, may have a financial incentive to recommend
the Program over other programs or services.
Fees for Referral Activities. The Firm receives fees based on the referral of clients to other
registered investment advisers. A referral generally occurs if a client desires or needs to pursue an
investment strategy that is not offered by the Firm. The referral fees are generally 25% of the
advisory fee received by the third party adviser, and are paid on a recurring basis over the life of
the relationship when the third party adviser receives its advisory fee for managing the referred
account.
Other Conflicts of Interest. In addition to the compensation for investment services described
above, we are also compensated for providing other financial services as described in Item 9. Our
charges for investment services and for other financial services will include a reasonable profit for
the Firm, our affiliates, and our representatives. This profit incentive creates a conflict of interest
that could influence us to recommend opening or maintaining accounts that may have higher costs
or less favorable services than other suitable alternatives which do not provide equivalent
compensation to the Firm, our affiliates, or our representatives. The Firm has established various
policies and processes to address these conflicts of interest, including the following:
• Disclosure to our clients of the fees described above and our affiliations described in
Item 9;
• Waiver of the Firm's Management Fees otherwise due with respect to the Monteagle
Fund when clients invest in such Fund, although not the Operating Fees or any
Management Fees where the portfolio is sub-advised by unaffiliated money managers;
• Suitability review process at the time each account is established; and
• Periodic account reviews after an account is established.
