The standard advisory fee is based on the market value of the account and is calculated as follows:

Account Value Annual Advisory Fee

($0 - $1,000,000) - 1.00%

($1,000,001 - $2,000,000) - 0.85%

(Above $2,000,000) - 0.65%

The annual fees are negotiable, prorated and paid in arrears on a quarterly basis. The advisory fee is a blended fee and is calculated by assessing the percentage rates using the predefined levels of assets as shown in the above chart and applying the fee to the account value as of the last day of the previous quarter, resulting in a combined weighted fee. For example, an account valued at $2,500,000 would pay an effective fee of 0.87% with the annual fee of $21,750.00. The monthly fee is determined by the following calculation: (($1,000,000 x 1.00%) + ($1,000,000 x 0.85%) + ($500,000 x 0.65)) ÷ 12 = $1,812.50.

When an Outside Manager is used, the Outside Manager will debit the Client’s account for both the Outside Manager’s fee, and BFP’s advisory fee, and will remit BFP’s fee to BFP. Please note, the above fee schedule does not include the Outside Manager’s fee. No increase in the annual fee shall be effective without agreement from the Client by signing a new agreement or amendment to their current advisory agreement.

Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee based on the amount of time remaining in the billing period. An account may be terminated with written notice at least 30 calendar days in advance. Since fees are paid in arrears, no refund will be needed upon termination of the account.
