Brochure, our Associated Persons are our firm's officers, employees, and all individuals providing

Investment Management
We offer discretionary and non-discretionary continuous investment management services where the
investment advice provided is tailored to meet your financial needs and investment objectives. We
offer an initial consultation in which pertinent information about your personal and financial
circumstances and objectives is collected, and the scope of the engagement is determined.
Where we enter into a discretionary arrangement with you, you will grant us discretion and authority to
manage your account subject to any written guidelines or restrictions that you may provide.
Accordingly, we are authorized to perform various investment functions, at your expense, without
further approval from you. Such functions may include the determination of securities and/or funds and
the amount of securities to be purchased or sold. Once the portfolio is constructed, we will provide
ongoing supervision and rebalancing of the portfolio as changes in market conditions and your
individual circumstances may require.
For non-discretionary investment management services, we will monitor your assets and will provide
recommendations as to your asset allocation. You are free at all times to accept or reject any of our
investment recommendation. Where we provide you with non-discretionary investment management
services, we will implement recommendations only upon obtaining your prior approval.
Our annual fee for investment management services is billed quarterly in advance based on the asset
value of your portfolio on the last trading day of the previous quarter. In certain circumstances, in our
sole discretion, other payment arrangements may be negotiated upon your request. Our fee will be
assessed pro rata in the event the investment management agreement is executed at any time other
than the first day of a calendar quarter. Our annualized fees for investment management services are
based on the following blended tiered fee schedule:
Assets Under Management Maximum Annual Advisory Rate **
Up to $2,000,000 1.25%
$2,000,001 - $5,000,000 0.80%
$5,000,001 - $10,000,000 0.75%
$10,000,001 - $25,000,000 0.70%
$25,000,001 - $50,000,000 0.50%
$50,000,001 - $100,000,000 0.40%
Above $100,000,000 Negotiable
*We generally require a minimum account size of $5,000,000. In our sole discretion, we may waive or
lower this fee.
**Some clients may be subject to a different fee schedule that was effective at the time they became a
client.
We may negotiate investment management fees for managed accounts depending on factors such as
the amount of assets under management, range of investments, and complexity of your financial
circumstances, among others. In our discretion, we may negotiate fixed fees for our investment
management services rather than charging a percentage of assets under management. If a fixed fee is
negotiated, payment arrangements and all other terms will be evidenced in the investment
management agreement that you sign with our firm. Also in our discretion, we may allow accounts of
members of the same household to be aggregated for purposes of determining our fee. This
consolidation practice is designed to allow you the benefit of an increased asset total, which could
potentially result in a reduced advisory fee based on our above referenced fee schedule.
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.
We typically require the payment of management fees be made by the custodian holding your funds
and securities. We will deduct our advisory fee only when you have given our firm written authorization
permitting the fees to be paid directly from your account. Further, the qualified custodian will deliver an
account statement to you at least quarterly. These account statements will show all disbursements
from your account. You should review all statements for accuracy. In limited circumstances, and upon
your request, we may agree to directly invoice you for investment management fees. In such cases,
fees will be payable as invoiced instead of directly debited.
Either party may terminate the investment management agreement ("Agreement") within five days of
signature without penalty or fees to you. Thereafter, we reserve the right to terminate the Agreement at
any time. You may terminate the Agreement upon 15-day written notice to our firm. We are
generally informed of a client termination by: (1) receiving ACAT notice from a broker; (2) receiving a
letter directly from you with termination instructions (particularly on any position liquidations); or iii)
verbal instructions from you. If you communicate this information verbally to us, a letter (written or
electronic) will be sent to you acknowledging your desire to terminate, the date of termination, and fee
payment/rebate instructions. The management fee will be prorated to the date of termination. Upon the
termination, we will have no obligation to recommend or take any action with regard to the securities,
cash or other investments in your account. If you have instructed us to liquidate certain positions in the
account prior to closing, we will complete the trades to the best of our ability, taking into account the
effects on the price at which the securities will be liquidated.

or plan fiduciary must make the ultimate decision as to retaining the services of such investment
advisers as we may recommend. The plan sponsor or plan fiduciary is free to seek independent advice

The fees charged by our firm are calculated as described above, and are not charged on the basis of a

our firm can or will predict future results, successfully identify market tops or bottoms, or insulate
clients from losses due to market corrections.

our Associated Persons or any of our employees, which could be reasonably expected to impair the
rendering of unbiased and objective advice.
While we endeavor at all times to offer our clients our services at reasonable costs, the fees charged
by other advisers for comparable services may be lower than the fees charged by our firm.
General - Advisory Services to Retirement Plans and Plan Participants
As disclosed above, we offer various levels of advisory and consulting services to employee benefit
plans ("Plan") and to the participants of such plans (“Participants”). The services are designed to assist
plan sponsors in meeting their management and fiduciary obligations to Participants under the
Employee Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”). Pursuant to adopted regulations of the U.S.
Department of Labor, we are required to provide the Plan's responsible plan fiduciary (the person
who has the authority to engage us as an investment adviser to the Plan) with a written statement of
the services we provide to the Plan, the compensation we receive for providing those services, and our
status (which is described below).
The services we provide to your Plan and our compensation for these services are described
above, and also in the service agreement. We do not reasonably expect to receive any other
compensation, direct or indirect, for the services we provide to the Plan or Participants, unless the plan
sponsor directs us to deduct our fee from the plan or directs the plan record-keeper to issue payment
for our fee out of the plan. If we receive any other compensation for such services, we will (i) offset the
compensation against our stated fees, and (ii) we will promptly disclose the amount of such
compensation, the services rendered for such compensation and the payer of such compensation to
you.
Status
We are a registered investment adviser under the laws of California, and represent that we are not
subject to any disqualification as set forth in Section 411 of ERISA.
To the extent we are performing Fiduciary Services, we are acting as a fiduciary of the Plan as defined
in Section 3(21) under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”).
Selection of Other Advisers for Managed Accounts
As part of our investment advisory services, we may recommend that you use the services of a third-
party money manager ("MM") 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 MM or investment program. Factors that we take into consideration when making
our recommendation(s) include, but are not limited to, the following: the MM's performance, methods of
analysis, fees, your financial needs, investment goals, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. We
will periodically monitor the MM(s)' performance to ensure its management and investment style
remains aligned with your investment goals and objectives.
Advisory fees charged by MMs are separate and apart from our advisory fees. Assets managed by
MMs will be included in calculating our advisory fee. Advisory fees that you pay to the MM are
established and payable in accordance with the brochure provided by each MM to whom you are
referred. These fees may or may not be negotiable. You should review the recommended MM's
brochure and take into consideration the MM's fees along with our fees to determine the total amount
of fees associated with this program.
In most instances, you will be required to sign an agreement directly with the recommended MM(s).
You may terminate your advisory relationship with the MM according to the terms of your agreement
with the MM. You should review each MM's brochure for specific information on how you may
terminate your advisory relationship with the MM and how you may receive a refund, if applicable. You
should contact the MM directly for questions regarding your advisory agreement with the MM.
Consulting Program
We offer consulting services (the "Consulting Program") that typically involve providing a variety of
services, principally advisory in nature, regarding the investment of client's assets into certain pooled
investment vehicles ("Pooled Investment Vehicles").
Clients participating in our Consulting Program are charged a management fee that may range up to
1% of committed capital or up to 1% of assets under management. Our management fee is billed
either semi-annually in advance or quarterly in advance.

profits that is billed annually in arrears. The performance fee will not be assessed on a return of the
client's original capital contributions.

under management with our firm or that have certified to our firm that they have a net worth of at least
$2,100,000 at the time of entering into any performance-based fee arrangement for advisory services.
