Fee Schedule

The management fee is based on two components: flat fee and performance-based fee. The flat fee is paid to Guiding Star Group through Scottrade by applying one-twelfth of the 1% annual fee based on account value at the end of each month. Performance-based fee is charged semi-annually as shown below. For instance, if we start managing your account on April 2nd, 2008, the ending value for performance calculation would be account value as of the close of market on the last trading day shown on October monthly statement in 2008. For example, if the account value on April 2nd is $100,000, you only pay us performance fee if we achieve more than 4% semi-annual return (or more than $104,000) by October 31.
