x = A sin â¡ ( Ï [ t â K ] ) + b , {\displaystyle x=A\sin(\omega [t-K])+b\ ,}. 1  A is the amplitude (or peak amplitude), 2  x is the oscillating variable, 3  Ï is angular frequency, 4  t is time, 5  K and b are arbitrary constants representing time and displacement offsets respectively.
Modeling agency. A modeling agency is a company that represents fashion models, to work for the fashion industry. These agencies earn their income via commission, usually from the deal they make with the model and or the head agency. The top agencies work with big-budget advertising agencies and fashion designers.
The financial industry hates this fee-model structure because it shakes the current system and forces financial advisors to perform, but it is one of the best ways to keep your financial planner honest and transparent. Look for a pay-for-performance financial planner and yes, they do exist. This is how my firm, Sag Harbor Advisors, gets paid. Under this financial model, your advisor only gets paid if he makes you money. If your portfolio loses money, he doesn't get paid. Under this structure, there is no way to hide the fees, commission or kickbacks that an advisor receives from the financial industry.
