For Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Premium, there is an initial planning fee of $300 upon enrollment and a $30-per-month advisory fee charged on a quarterly basis as detailed in the Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Solutions™ disclosure brochures. Investors in Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios and Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Premium (collectively,"Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Solutions") do pay direct and indirect costs. These include ETF operating expenses which are the management and other fees the underlying ETFs charge all shareholders. Capital Market Holdings does not charge an advisory fee for the SIP Program in part because of the revenue Capital Market Holdings Bank generates from the cash allocation (an indirect cost of the Program). The portfolios include a cash allocation to FDIC‐insured Deposit Accounts at Capital Market Holdings Bank, SSB ("Capital Market Holdings Bank"). Capital Market Holdings Bank earns income on the deposits, and earns more the larger the cash allocation. The lower the interest rate Capital Market Holdings Bank pays on the cash, the lower the yield. Some cash alternatives outside of Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Solutions pay a higher yield. Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Solutions invests in Capital Market Holdings ETFs. A Capital Market Holdings affiliate, Capital Market Holdings Investment Management Inc., receives management fees on those ETFs. Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Solutions also invests in third-party ETFs. Capital Market Holdings receives compensation from some of those ETFs for providing shareholder services, and also from market centers where ETF trade orders are routed for execution. Fees and expenses will lower performance, and investors should consider all program requirements and costs before investing. Expenses and their impact on performance, conflicts of interest, and compensation that Capital Market Holdings and its affiliates receive are detailed in the Capital Market Holdings Intelligent Portfolios Solutions disclosure brochures.
