Questions to ask your financial professional:
Given my financial situation, should I choose an investment advisory service? Why or why not? How will you choose investments to recommend to me? What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education and other qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?
FEES, COSTS, CONFLICTS AND STANDARD OF CONDUCT
What Fees Will I Pay?
Our annual management fees range from 0.50% to 1.25% of the amount of assets in your account. The more assets you have in your advisory account, the more you will pay us in US Dollar terms. Therefore, we have an incentive to increase those assets in order to increase our fees. Our fees are billed monthly or quarterly in arrears based on the market value of their portfolios as of the end of each calendar month and quarter-end. For additional information about how fees are determined and the conflicts that exist as a result of our fees please visit http://glovista.net/feesdescription/ .
Certain investors may also pay “performance based fees” based upon the profits earned in your account. For additional informing about how performance fees work, see http://glovista.net/feesdescription/
In addition, you may incur other fees and costs. To see a description of these other fees and costs, see http://glovista.net/otherfeesandcosts/
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 more information about your fees and costs, including information regarding how fees are paid from your account, frequency of payment, types of fees or expenses you may pay, brokerage and other transaction costs, refunds of fees and other fee related matters, see our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure, Item 4 at http://glovista.net/formadvpart2/ .
Questions to ask your financial professional:
Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
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. Some examples to help you understand what that means can be found at http://glovista.net/conflicts/
Questions to ask your financial professional:
How might your conflicts of interest affect me, and how will you address them?
Additional Information:
More detailed information about conflicts of interest may be found in our Form ADV Part 2A Brochure at http://glovista.net/formadvpart2/ .
