Fees for investment advisory services are billed according to the Terms of Service. Fees are typically up to 0.50% annually, and include custody fees. Mutual fund annual operating expenses are established by each individual mutual fund and disclosed in the relevant prospectus, as well as through fee disclosures provided to Participants. Mutual fund fees are embedded in each mutual fund’s net asset value and are borne equally by each fund shareholder, including those plan participants who elect to purchase shares. The average fee for the mutual funds available through the Human Interest model is .07% per year, but is subject to change based upon the expenses set by each particular mutual fund.
