Portfolio Management Services - Separate Account Services
If you engage us for this service, we will ask you to provide information concerning your personal and
financial situation, investment objectives, tolerance for risk, and your investment time horizon. We will
also request that you inform us of any reasonable restrictions you wish to impose on the management
of your account. We will provide continuous advice to you regarding the investment of your funds
based on your individual needs. Through personal discussions in which your goals, objectives and
particular circumstances are established, we will create and manage a portfolio. We will manage
advisory accounts on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis. Your account supervision is guided
by your stated objectives for example; income, growth and income or growth in conjunction with a risk
tolerance of conservative, moderate or aggressive.
We will create a portfolio consisting primarily of no-load and load-waived mutual funds and exchange-
traded funds ("ETFs"). However, portfolios may also include individual equities and/or other investment
products. We will allocate your assets among various investments taking into consideration the overall
management style selected by you. The mutual funds will be selected on the basis of any or all of the
following criteria: the fund's performance history; the industry sector in which the fund invests; the track
record of the fund's manager; the fund's investment objectives; the fund's management style and
philosophy; and the fund's management fee structure. Portfolio weighting between funds and market
4
sectors will be determined by your individual needs and circumstances. You will have the opportunity
to place reasonable restrictions on the types of investments which will be made on your behalf. You
will retain individual ownership of all securities.
Our annual fee for the Separate Account Services will be no more than 1.0% of your managed assets.
This fee may be negotiable under certain circumstances. Fees are negotiable depending on individual
client circumstances such as client's total assets managed, the scope of work required for an account
or household, and the relationship a client has with the adviser and/or our firm.
Our fee for the Separate Account Services will be calculated and paid quarterly in advance (in certain
circumstances we may negotiate other fee paying arrangements, such as quarterly in arrears). Except
for the initial calendar quarter the Advisory Agreement is in effect, our fee will be calculated as of the
first day of each calendar quarter in an amount equal to one-fourth of our annualized fee, based on the
value of your account as of the close of the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter;
provided, we may, in our discretion, calculate our fee based on the actual number of days in such
calendar quarter, or a weighted average value during such period, as long as the method of calculation
for your account is consistently applied.
For the first calendar quarter that the Advisory Agreement is in effect, and for all other quarters in
which an asset is transferred into your account after the last business day of the preceding quarter, our
fee will be calculated and billed with respect to each such asset beginning on the date such asset is
posted by Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. ("Schwab"), the acting custodian(s), to your custodial account
(including any additional account established with Schwab to receive the assets for the account), using
the value determined by Schwab as of such date; provided, in our discretion, we may bill our fee for
any partial calendar quarter with our fee for the following quarter. You may terminate the portfolio
management agreement by providing written notice to our firm. Our fee for the last calendar quarter
will be prorated based on the number of calendar days the Advisory Agreement is in effect, and any
unearned amount will be refunded to you promptly. Our unpaid fees are due and payable immediately
upon termination of the Advisory Agreement.
We assist some clients establish direct F-2 share class fund purchases with Capital Group / American
Funds for their small business retirement accounts with American Funds Service Company ("AFS")
serving as the transfer agent registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. AFS is
not a qualified custodian under the Custody Rule 206(4)-2 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
Please see below for additional information regarding fee debiting from AFS.
AFS shall deduct fees from client accounts unless otherwise instructed by KJWM or a client. Fees shall
be deducted by redeeming fund shares proportionately for each fund position within a client account
unless the client has specifically elected a single fund account. Such redemptions may result in a tax
reportable transaction. AFS will take account instructions directly from the clients and fees shall
continue until instructions are received by KJWM or a client to cancel the fee debiting. On an ongoing
basis KJWM will confirm the fee rate on the client account is accurate and in accordance with the
client's AFS Direct Agreement fee debiting schedule. AFS shall invoice KJWM for any losses to the
funds resulting from a fee adjustment or transaction correction requested by the KJWM. If the client's
assets in a fund account in the program are fully redeemed prior to the quarter-end, then the client's
average daily net asset value of the fund will be equal to the client's average daily net asset value
through the day prior to the total redemption. The fees taken throughout the quarter shall be paid within
thirty (30) days following the end of the quarter for which such fees are payable.

Financial Planning Services
We offer broad-based, modular, and consultative financial planning services for a fee. Financial
planning will typically involve providing a variety of advisory services to clients regarding the
management of their financial resources based upon an analysis of their individual needs. If you retain
our firm for financial planning services, we will meet with you to gather information about your financial
circumstances and objectives. Once we review and analyze the information you provide to our firm, we
may deliver a written plan to you, designed to help you achieve your stated financial goals and
objectives.
Financial plans are based on your financial situation at the time we present
the plan to you, and on the
financial information you provide to our firm. You must promptly notify our firm if your financial
situation, goals, objectives, or needs change.
You are under no obligation to act on our financial planning recommendations. Should you choose to
act on any of our recommendations, you are not obligated to implement the financial plan through any
of our other investment advisory services. Moreover, you may act on our recommendations by placing
securities transactions with any brokerage firm.
We charge an hourly fee of $350 for financial planning services, which is negotiable depending on the
scope and complexity of the plan, your situation, and your financial objectives. An estimate of the total
time/cost will be determined at the start of the advisory relationship. In limited circumstances, the
cost/time could potentially exceed the initial estimate. In such cases, we will notify you and request that
you approve the additional fee.
We may also offer financial planning services for a fixed fee, which generally ranges between $500
and $3,000. In limited circumstances, your financial circumstances might require financial planning
services exceeding our typical scope of services. In such cases, our fee may exceed our standard fee
range. Our financial planning fees are negotiable depending upon the complexity and scope of the
plan, your financial situation, and your objectives.
Fees are typically due upon completion of services rendered. In some instances, we may require that
you pay 50% of the fee in advance and the remaining portion upon the completion of the services
rendered. We do not require prepayment of a fee more than six months in advance and in excess of
$500.
You may terminate the financial planning agreement by providing written notice to our firm. You will
incur a pro-rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the agreement. If you have pre-
paid advisory fees that we have not yet earned, you will receive a prorated refund of those fees.
Selection of Other Advisers
As part of our investment advisory services, we may recommend that you use the services of a third
party asset manager ("TPAM") to manage your entire, or a portion of your, investment portfolio. After
gathering information about your financial situation and objectives, we may recommend that you
engage a specific TPAM or investment program. Factors that we take into consideration when making
our recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the following: the TPAM's performance, methods
of analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We
will periodically monitor the TPAM(s)' performance to ensure its management and investment style
remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
Our recommendations to use third party asset managers are included in our portfolio management fee.
We do not charge you a separate fee for the selection of other advisers nor will we share in the
advisory fee you pay directly to the TPAM. Advisory fees that you pay to the TPAM are established
6
and payable in accordance with the Form ADV Part 2 or other equivalent disclosure document
provided by each TPAM to whom you are referred. These fees may or may not be negotiable. You
should review the recommended TPAM's brochure for information on its fees and services.
You will be required to sign an agreement directly with the recommended TPAM(s). You may terminate
your advisory relationship with the TPAM according to the terms of your agreement with the TPAM.
You should review each TPAM's Brochure for specific information on how you may terminate your
advisory relationship with the TPAM and how you may receive a refund, if applicable. You should
contact the TPAM directly for questions regarding your advisory agreement with the TPAM.
Pension Consulting Services
We offer pension consulting services to employee benefit plans and their fiduciaries based upon the
needs of the plan and the services requested by the plan sponsor or named fiduciary. In general, these
services may include an existing plan review and analysis, plan-level advice regarding fund selection
and investment options, education services to plan participants, investment performance monitoring,
and/or ongoing consulting. These pension consulting services will generally be non-discretionary and
advisory in nature. The ultimate decision to act on behalf of the plan shall remain with the plan sponsor
or other named fiduciary.
We may also assist with participant enrollment meetings and provide investment-related educational
seminars to plan participants on such topics as: Diversification; Asset allocation; Risk tolerance; and,
Time horizon. Our educational seminars may include other investment-related topics specific to the
particular plan.
We may also provide additional types of pension consulting services to plans on an individually
negotiated basis. All services, whether discussed above or customized for the plan based upon
requirements from the plan fiduciaries (which may include additional plan-level or participant-level
services) shall be detailed in a written agreement and be consistent with the parameters set forth in the
plan documents.
Our advisory fees for these customized services will be negotiated with the plan sponsor or named
fiduciary on a case-by-case basis not to exceed 1.0% of assets under management. Either party to the
pension consulting agreement may terminate the agreement by providing written notice to the other
party. The pension consulting fees will be prorated for the quarter in which the termination notice is
given and any unearned fees will be refunded to the client.
Types of Investments
We primarily recommend Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds; however, we may advise you on
any type of investment that we deem appropriate based on your stated goals and objectives. We may
also provide advice on any type of investment held in your portfolio at the inception of our advisory
relationship.
You may request that we refrain from investing in particular securities or certain types of securities.
You must provide these restrictions to our firm in writing.
IRA Rollover Recommendations
Effective December 20, 2021 (or such later date as the US Department of Labor ("DOL") Field
Assistance Bulletin 2018-02 ceases to be in effect), for purposes of complying with the DOL's
Prohibited Transaction Exemption 2020-02 ("PTE 2020-02") where applicable, we are providing the
following acknowledgment to you.

When we provide investment advice to you regarding your retirement plan account or individual
retirement account, we 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 we make 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. Under
this special rule's provisions, we must:
•Meet a professional standard of care when making investment recommendations (give prudent
advice);
•Never put our financial interests ahead of yours when making recommendations (give loyal
advice);
•Avoid misleading statements about conflicts of interest, fees, and investments;
•Follow policies and procedures designed to ensure that we give advice that is in your best
interest;
•Charge no more than is reasonable for our services; and
•Give you basic information about conflicts of interest.
We benefit financially from the rollover of your assets from a retirement account to an account that we
manage or provide investment advice, because the assets increase our assets under management
and, in turn, our advisory fees. As a fiduciary, we only recommend a rollover when we believe it is in
your best interest.
Assets Under Management
As of December 31, 2022, we provide continuous management services for $1,093,368,027 in client
assets on a discretionary basis, and $182,676,587 in client assets on a non-discretionary basis.
