We offer wrap fee programs as described in this Wrap Fee Program Brochure. Our wrap fee accounts
are managed on an individualized basis according to the client’s investment objectives, financial
goals, risk tolerance, etc.
Our firm sponsors and offers a wrap fee program, which allows clients to pay a single fee for
investment advisory services and associated custodial transaction costs. Transaction fees will be paid
by our firm based on either a percentage of the dollar amount of assets in the account(s) or via
individual transaction charges. Because our firm absorbs client transaction fees, an incentive exists
to limit trading activities in client accounts. Custodial transaction costs, however, are not included in
the advisory fee charged by our firm for non-wrap services and are to be paid by the client to their
chosen custodian. Depending on the client’s account or portfolio trading activity, clients may pay
more for using our wrap fee services than they would for using our non-wrap services.

WrapComprehensivePortfolioManagement:
Our comprehensive portfolio management service encompasses asset management as well as
providing financial planning/financial consulting to clients. It is designed to assist clients in meeting
their financial goals through the use of financial investments. We conduct at least one, but sometimes
more than one meeting (in person, if possible, otherwise via telephone conference) with clients in
order to understand their current financial situation, existing resources, financial goals, and
tolerance for risk. Based on what we learn, we propose an investment approach to the client. We may
propose an investment portfolio, consisting of exchange traded funds, mutual funds, individual
stocks or bonds, or other securities. Upon the client’s agreement to the proposed investment plan,
we work with the client to establish or transfer investment accounts so that we can manage the
client’s portfolio. Once the relevant accounts are under our management, we review such accounts
on a regular basis and at least quarterly. We may periodically rebalance or adjust client accounts
under our management. If the client experiences any significant changes to his/her financial or
personal circumstances, the client must notify us so that we can consider such information in
managing the client’s investments.
We may utilize Independent Money Managers, where we may design an investment portfolio and
provide ongoing corresponding comprehensive portfolio management services on a fee-only basis
for a percentage of assets in conjunction with another investment advisory firm. Before selecting
other advisers, we make sure that the other advisers are properly licensed or registered. Client may
grant our firm full discretionary authority and authorization to select and appoint one or more Money
Manager to provide investment advisory services without prior consultation with or the prior
consent. Such advisory services will be as determined by our firm. These Money Managers shall have
all of the same authority relating to the management of Client’s investment accounts as is granted to
our firm. In addition, at our firm’s discretion, our firm may grant such Advisors full authority to
further delegate such discretionary investment
authority to additional Money Managers.

Annualized fees are billed on a pro-rata basis quarterly in advance based on the value of the
account on the last day of the previous quarter. Fees will be deducted from your managed
account. As part of this process, the client is made aware of the following:
a) The client’s independent custodian sends statements at least quarterly showing the
market values for each security included in the Assets and all account disbursements,
including the amount of the advisory fees paid to our firm;
b) Clients will provide authorization permitting our firm to be directly paid by these terms.
Our firm will send an invoice directly to the custodian; and
c) If our firm sends a copy of our invoice to the client, legend urging the comparison of
information provided in our statement with those from the qualified custodian will be
included.
OtherTypesofFees&Expenses:
In addition to our advisory fees above, clients may also pay holdings charges imposed by the chosen
custodian for certain investments, charges imposed directly by a mutual fund, index fund, or
exchange traded fund, which shall be disclosed in the fund’s prospectus (i.e., fund management fees,
initial or deferred sales charges, mutual fund sales loads, 12b-1 fees, surrender charges, variable
annuity fees, IRA and qualified retirement plan fees, and other fund expenses), mark-ups and mark-
downs, spreads paid to market makers, fees for trades executed away from custodian, wire transfer
fees and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Our firm does not
receive a portion of these fees.
Legacy Clients may be held to a different fee structure, but will not exceed what is disclosed above.
Clients may receive comparable services from other broker-dealers or investment advisers and pay
fees that are higher or lower than those charged under the wrap fee program. Fees may be more or
less than the client would have paid if the services (account management, custody, and brokerage
transactions) were purchased separately outside of the wrap program.
WrapFeeProgramRecommendations:
Our investment advisory representatives receive a portion of the advisory fee that you pay us, either
directly as a percentage of your overall fee or as their salary from our firm. In cases where our
investment advisory representatives are paid a percentage of your overall advisory fee, this may
create an incentive to recommend that you participate in a wrap fee program rather than a non-wrap
fee program (where you would pay for trade execution costs) or brokerage account where

commissions are charged. This is because, in some cases, we may stand to earn more compensation
from advisory fees paid to us through a wrap fee program arrangement if your account is not actively
traded.
