The following
outlines the primary administrative details of our advisor-directed
managed account program, the Tangible Asset Program (T.A.P.):
- Wexford Capital
Management (W.C.M.) will be granted a very limited power of attorney through its INVESTMENT
ADVISORY AGREEMENT / Tangible Asset Program to act on behalf of the client, on
primarily a
discretionary basis, for the purchase and sale of numismatic coins up to the total dollar
amount previously authorized in writing by client.
- Clients will be
invoiced for individual coin purchases for payment (within 10 days of receipt of invoice) by return mail.
- The WCM selected
coins will be sent to the client's address by Insured Registered Mail, Return Receipt
Requested and fully insured, for placement in a safe deposit box or other appropriate
depository under the client's control; third-party depository arrangements can be made at
the client's expense, but it is assumed that most clients will want to enjoy viewing and
studying these truly rare coins.
The
program's commission schedule for purchases, which is applied based upon cumulative
purchases made under the program, is as follows:
First
$50,000 of Purchases
Next $75,000 of Purchases
Next $100,000 of Purchases
After $225,000 of Purchases |
7.00% of invoice
6.50% of invoice
6.00% of invoice
5.50% of invoice |
W.C.M.'s commission for
researching, selecting, and negotiating a rare coin investment purchase will appear on the
invoice as well as the advisor's per item cost.
It is anticipated
that most rare coin purchases will be made for the client at a total cost of 10% to 20%
over current dealer bid or competitive wholesale price. Normal mark-ups over dealer bid are usually in the
25% to 35% range or higher. Since WCM is also an authorized NGC dealer, the advisor is
able to obtain very high quality numismatic material just above dealer-to-dealer or
current wholesale prices.
The commission charged for presenting a
coin set or portfolio to an individual buyer, dealer, or auction company and negotiating a
final net sales price is as follows:
Portfolios
under $225,000
Portfolios at or over $225,000 |
3.00% of Net Sales Price*
2.00% of Net Sales Price* |
* Net sales price is defined as the
proceeds from the sale that are net from any third-party selling costs or commissions
incurred in order to effect a final sale. |
