Both Halberstadt Financial's Agreement and the custodial/clearing agreement authorize the custodian to debit the account for the amount of the investment advisory fee and to remit payment directly to Halberstadt Financial.

In addition to the investment management fee, the client may incur brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees for effecting certain securities transactions (i.e., transaction fees are charged for certain mutual funds, commissions are charged for individual securities transactions). In addition, the client will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange-traded fund purchases, charges imposed at the fund level (e.g. management fees and other fund expenses).

There is no corresponding commitment made by Halberstadt Financial to any particular broker-dealer/custodian or to any other entity to invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds, securities or other investment products as a result of the above arrangement. 2. Client Referrals: Halberstadt Financial does not receive client referrals from any broker-dealer custodian. 3. Directed Brokerage: Factors which Halberstadt Financial considers in recommending broker-dealer/custodians to clients include their respective financial strength, reputation, execution, pricing, research, and service.

In seeking best execution, the determinative factor is the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best qualitative not execution, Institution’s services, range of a Financial the value of research provided, execution capability, commission including among others, rates, and responsiveness. Halberstadt Financial seeks competitive rates but may not necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client transactions. Halberstadt Financial periodically and systematically reviews its policies and procedures regarding its recommendation of Financial Institutions in light of its duty to obtain best execution. Halberstadt Financial seeks to execute orders for its clients fairly and equitably. Halberstadt Financial follows written procedures pursuant to which it may, and to the extent consistent with Best Execution, combine purchase or sale orders for the same security for multiple clients (sometimes called “bunching”) so that they can be executed at the same time. The procedures for bunching trades may differ depending on the particular strategy or type of investment. Halberstadt Financial is not required to bunch or aggregate orders if it determines that bunching or aggregating is not practical. When client orders are bunched by Halberstadt Financial, the order will be placed with the broker- dealer custodian for execution. When a bunched order is completely filled, Halberstadt Financial generally will allocate the securities purchased or proceeds of sale among participating accounts based on the purchase or sale order. Adjustments or changes may be made by Halberstadt Financial under certain circumstances, such as to avoid odd lots or excessively small allocations. If the bunched order is filled at different prices, through multiple trades, generally all such participating accounts will receive the average price. When a bunched order is partially filled, Halberstadt Financial’s procedures provide that the securities are to be allocated in a manner deemed fair and equitable to clients.

Reports: In addition to the monthly statements and confirmation of transactions that Investment Management Services clients receive from their broker-dealer, Halberstadt Financial will provide annual or quarterly portfolio reports summarizing account performance, balances and holdings.

When Halberstadt Financial exercises this limited brokerage discretion in order to purchase or sell such instruments, Halberstadt Financial will select those broker-dealers that will provide quality services at competitive transaction costs.
