Fell Capital Management offers two primary options for client account billing

Option 1: Percentage Fee. Investment advisory fees are billed quarterly, in arrears based on the market value of the client’s account(s). Minimum fees may apply. All fees are subject to negotiation. Our typical fee structure is as follows: First $ 500,000 1.50% per year Next $ 500,000 1.25% per year Next $1,000,000 1.00% per year Over $2,000,000 0.75% per year

Minimum Fee $3,000 per year

Option 2: Performance Based Fees. See Section 6. The specific manner in which fees are charged by Fell Capital Management is established in a client’s written agreement with Fell Capital Management. Clients may elect to be billed directly for fees or to authorize Fell Capital Management to directly debit fees from client accounts. Accounts initiated or terminated during a billing period will be charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of any account, any prepaid, unearned fees will be promptly refunded, and any earned, unpaid fees will be due and payable. Fell Capital Management’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs and expenses which may be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus. Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Fell Capital Management’s fee, and Fell Capital Management shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs. Item 12 further describes the factors that Fell Capital Management considers in selecting or recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of their compensation (e.g., commissions). please register to get more info

In some cases, Fell Capital Management has entered into performance fee arrangements with qualified clients: such fees are subject to individualized negotiation with each such client. Fell Capital Management will structure any performance or incentive fee arrangement subject to Section 205(a)(1) of the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 (The Advisors Act) in accordance with the available exemptions thereunder, including the exemption set forth in Rule 205-3. In measuring clients' assets for the calculation of performance-based fees, Fell Capital Management shall include realized and unrealized capital gains and losses. In the event of a loss for the billing period, there is no fee charged and any losses must be recouped before performance-based fees are charged in subsequent years. Performance based fee arrangements may create an incentive for Fell Capital Management to recommend investments which may be riskier or more speculative than those which would be recommended under a different fee arrangement. Such fee arrangements may also create an incentive to favor higher fee paying accounts over other accounts in the allocation of investment opportunities. Fell Capital Management has procedures designed and implemented to ensure that all clients are treated fairly and equally, and to prevent this conflict from influencing the allocation of investment opportunities among clients. please register to get more info

Fell Capital Management generally manages diversified and balanced portfolios for our clients using a combination of individual securities (stocks, bonds, etc.) as well as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and alternative investments. Portfolios are designed from a “top-down” perspective where asset allocation takes primary focus. Fundamental analysis is used in the selection of individual securities. Mutual funds are typically chosen based on database screening techniques using publicly available data. Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear. please register to get more info

Fell Capital Management has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm describing its high standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics includes provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider trading, a prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities trading procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at Fell Capital Management must acknowledge the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended. Fell Capital Management anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment objectives, it will cause accounts over which Fell Capital Management has management authority to effect, and will recommend to investment advisory clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of securities in which Fell Capital Management, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of interest. Fell Capital Management’s employees and persons associated with Fell Capital Management are required to follow Fell Capital Management’s Code of Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees of Fell Capital Management and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are recommended to and/or purchased for Fell Capital Management’s clients. The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities and interests of the employees of Fell Capital Management will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time, allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code certain classes of securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that these would materially not interfere with the best interest of Fell Capital Management’s clients. In addition, the Code requires pre-clearance of many transactions, and restricts trading in close proximity to client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee. Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably prevent conflicts of interest between Fell Capital Management and its clients.

Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an aggregated basis when consistent with Fell Capital Management's obligation of best execution. In such circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share commission costs equally and receive securities at a total average price. Fell Capital Management will retain records of the trade order (specifying each participating account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to the entry of the aggregated order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions will be explained on the Order.

Fell Capital Management’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by contacting Steven Park.

It is Fell Capital Management’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross securities transactions for client accounts. Fell Capital Management will also not cross trades between client accounts. Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells any security to any advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to have occurred if a security is crossed between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account. An agency cross transaction is defined as a transaction where a person acts as an investment adviser in relation to a transaction in which the investment adviser, or any person controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross transactions may arise where an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an affiliated broker-dealer. please register to get more info

Furthermore, those partnership assets will be subject to an annual surprise audit conducted by an independent accounting firm. Results of audits will be filed via form ADV-E.
