Common use of Execution of Investment Account Transactions Clause in Contracts

Execution of Investment Account Transactions. Advisor will arrange for the execution of securities transactions for the Account through the Custodian selected by the Client and Advisor. Consistent with obtaining best execution, transactions for Client’s Account may be directed to brokers in return for research services furnished by them to Adviser. Such research generally will be used to service all of Adviser’s clients, but brokerage commissions paid by Client may be used to pay for research that is not used in managing Client’s Account. My investment adviser representative has advised me of the options available to me for brokerage services at Advisor. We are currently using Xxxxxxx Xxxxx IAD for custodial and clearing services. Clients may request the brokerage transactions be directed to a particular broker‐dealer/custodian. However, if an investment advisor representative cannot use that broker‐dealer/custodian they will not be able to accept the account. My representative has provided me with a document (See Schedule C) explaining the charges associated with trading and their services under this arrangement. The client also understands that they are responsible for all cost associated with the custodian, such as custodial fees, like Trading Fees and Annual Account Maintenance Fees as well as Custodian Service Fees. All fees charged by the custodian can be changed at the sole discretion of the custodian. Transactions for each client account will be effected independently of transactions for other clients of the Advisor; provided that the Advisor may (but is not obligated to) combine or “batch” transactions for the Client and other clients in the same securities in order to obtain a better price or achieve other efficiencies. There is no obligation to include any account in a bunched order unless the Advisor representative believes it is in the client’s best interest. In making this determination, the representative may consider a number of factors, including, but not limited to: (a) the client’s investment objectives and policies; (b) investment guidelines; (c) liquidity requirements; (d) legal or regulatory restrictions; (e) tax considerations; and (f) the nature and size of the bunched order. If Adviser cannot obtain execution of all the combined orders at prices or for transactions costs that Adviser believes are desirable, Adviser will allocate the securities. Our custodian does not offer reduced transactions cost due to batch transactions. Such an arrangement represents a potential conflict of interest because it may serve as an incentive for the representative to recommend investments in no‐transaction‐fee (NTF) mutual funds. WMS representatives have relationships with clearing brokers that allows them access to the NTF funds. NTF Mutual Funds may carry higher maintenance charges than similar mutual funds. Client authorizes and directs Advisor to instruct all firms executing orders for Client to forward confirmations of those transactions to Custodian and Advisor. Advisor may give a copy of this Agreement to any broker, dealer or other party to a transaction for the Account, or the Custodian as evidence of Advisor’s authority to act for Client.
