Our fee is based on the complexity of our client's situation. To determine complexity we charge a percentage of investable assets on a yearly basis as follows:
- 1.2% of portfolios/accounts under $1 million.
- 0.70% of portfolios/accounts greater than $1 million.
To give an idea of what you might expect to pay, here are four blended rates based on our fee schedule:
$1mm = 1.20%
$2mm = .95%
$3mm = .86%
$4mm+ = .70%
Fees are calculated at the end of each calendar quarter and typically deducted from one or more investment accounts. There is a minimum quarterly fee of $1650.
As fiduciaries, we are required to put the interest of our clients before our own. We choose to conduct business this way because we believe it creates a more objective experience for our clients and serves them best.
