B. Describe the types of advisory services the firm offers. If the firm holds itself out as
specializing in a particular type of advisory service, explain the nature of that service in
detail. If the firm provides investment advice only with respect to limited types of

Gilman Hill Asset Management, LLC ("GHAM, LLC") provides fee-based, separate account and model-
based investment advisory services, primarily within the Equity Income, International Income,
Disciplined Growth, Real Estate Equity and Balanced account disciplines. At no time will GHAM, LLC
accept or maintain custody of a client’s funds or securities, except as relates to GHAM, LLC’s contractual
ability to authorize the deduction of investment management fees from certain accounts or by virtue of
certain authorizations that allow GHAM, LLC to facilitate the movement of funds on behalf of clients.
When GHAM, LLC provides investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or
individual retirement account, GHAM, LLC are 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. The way GHAM, LLC makes money creates some conflicts with your
interests, so we operate under a special rule that requires us to act in your best interest and not put our
interest ahead of yours.
As a fiduciary, GHAM, LLC must provide advice in the “Best Interest” of the Retirement Investor;
charge “reasonable” compensation for the services provided to you; and, not make misleading statements
about investment transactions, compensation, and conflicts of interest.
Pursuant to an Investment Management Agreement contract signed by each client, the client pays GHAM,
LLC a monthly or quarterly Investment Management Fee, payable in advance or in arrears, as negotiated
with each client, based on the amount of the assets managed on behalf of the client by GHAM, LLC, and
computed based on the valuation of these assets as of the close of the most recent month or quarter. The
asset value upon which the Investment Management Fee is based is taken from GHAM, LLC’s
accounting system, other than in instances where the client requires it to be based on account value data
from its custodian. The following Management Fees are the maximum that can be charged by GHAM,
LLC, and are negotiable downward at the discretion of GHAM, LLC:
For all assets in a separate account, the maximum annual charge, payable quarterly, is 1% of all assets.
In most cases, and where allowed by contract, Investment Management Fees will be automatically
deducted from the client
account on a quarterly basis by the custodian. In addition, the client is
responsible for all custodial and securities execution fees charged by the custodian and executing broker-
dealer. The Investment Management Fee is separate and distinct from the custodian and execution fees.
Clients may request to terminate their advisory contract with GHAM, LLC, in whole or in part, by
providing written notice. Upon termination, any fees paid in advance will be prorated to the date of
termination and any excess will be refunded to client. Any fees due in arrears will be similarly prorated
to the date of termination, and will be billed to the client. The client’s Investment Management
Agreement with GHAM, LLC is non-transferable without the client’s written approval.
