MAI negotiates and charges different fees for accounts based on the size, servicing needs and administrative circumstances of the services you receive. Negotiated fees include customized arrangements for clients seeking a package of services which includes investment advice, wealth management and other services. For stand-alone wealth management services, we typically charge a fixed annual retainer or in some cases, we may charge you an hourly rate. Our advisory fees are based on the market value of your account, so the higher the market value of your account, the more you will pay and thus we have an incentive for you to increase the assets in order to increase our fee. Generally, MAI computes and charges a 1% up to 1.50% annual investment management fee for discretionary or non-discretionary portfolios. We negotiate fees for both discretionary and non-discretionary accounts. We typically apply the same rate to the cash portion of each account as for all other assets in the account. In addition, we also receive management fees on the mutual fund we advise and private funds where we act as investment manager. These private funds charge a management fee of up to 1.50% as well as a performance-based fee. However, if we charge a management fee, we do not include those funds in the calculation of your account fees. In addition, we may charge an advisory fee on assets invested in a managed account program or mutual funds and ETFs in addition to those fees charged by the outside investment manager. When we use third-party investment managers (sub-advisers), the fees charged by the sub-adviser may be greater than those we charge. Our fees do not include custodian fees. Your custodian may charge you brokerage commissions, stock transfer fees, margin interest and fees, and/or other similar charges incurred in connection with transactions in accounts. These charges are in addition to the fees you pay us. These charges may include fees from the purchase of mutual fund shares such as deferred sales charges, 12b-1 fees, and other fund-related expenses. MAI does not receive any of the aforementioned fund-related expenses. Each fund’s prospectus fully describes the fees and expenses. Consequently, clients with mutual funds other than MAIPX/DIVPX in their portfolios are effectively paying both MAI and the mutual fund manager for the management of their assets.

Our management fees are billed directly to your account when you authorize us to receive payment directly from your custodian. We will send an invoice to you if you choose not to have advisory fees withdrawn directly from your custodian account. The invoice is payable upon receipt and will include the fee calculation and amount due. These fees may be payable quarterly in arrears or in advance at the beginning of each calendar quarter. If fees are paid in advance and the account is terminated, we will calculate the fees due and refund the balance due. We charge one fourth of the annual fee rate each quarter based on the market value of your portfolio as of the last day of the prior calendar quarter. You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. For additional information about our fees, please see MAI’s ADV Part 2A, Item 5 and Item 6, located online @ https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/109807.

When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the way we make money creates some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means.

We serve as investment manager to investment-related Limited Liability Companies and Limited Partnerships (the “Funds”). These Funds have a higher management fee and sometimes a performance-based fee. These higher fees create a conflict of interest. We are incentivized to recommend these investments above others. MAI may suggest or recommend that clients purchase or sell the Funds managed by MAI. In addition, MAI advisors may use MAI Insurance Solutions, LLC (“MAI Insurance”) or one of several insurance brokers that sit under Galway Holdings LP – Series 1 (“Galway”). You may also be referred to these insurance brokers to fulfill any insurance needs and MAI Insurance may also earn a referral fee. Galway is an MAI affiliate while MAI Insurance is a wholly-owned company of MAI. Both Galway and MAI Insurance earn commissions from insurance products sold which are separate from and in addition to the fees you pay to MAI. The ownership relationship between these companies presents a potential conflict of interest, however obtaining services from either Galway or MAI Insurance will not result, directly or indirectly, in the payment of any greater or lesser investment advisory fees or expenses assessed by MAI to its investment advisory clients. MAI is aware of this conflict and will always put your interests ahead of its own. You are never required to purchase any product made using the affiliated services. MAI and/or our personnel may have financial interests in securities or investment products we recommend. Client portfolios may include the securities of companies in which MAI, or our personnel have positions. For additional details with respect to the advisory services offered, our potential conflicts of interest with retail clients, and our adoption of a code addressing our fiduciary duty to our clients, please see our ADV Part 2A, Item 10 and Item 11, respectively, located online @ https://adviserinfo.sec.gov/firm/summary/109807.

MAI’s financial professionals are compensated with salary and discretionary bonuses. Some financial professionals receive a percentage of our management fees from sourcing new clients. There are also financial professionals that are equity owners who stand to receive a share of Firm profits.
