Transparent Fee Structure

We're only compensated by fees paid by our clients. We receive no other payment from any other source. We charge separate fees for financial planning and investment advisory services.

Investment Advisory

The investment advisory fee is based on a fee schedule and is subject to a minimum annual investment advisory fee of $9,000. The minimum is waived, however, for the first six months of a financial planning engagement.

Financial Planning

The initial financial planning fee is based on the complexity of your situation and determined in advance of the engagement. Annual financial plan update fees are typically 40% of the initial financial planning fee.

Our annual investment advisory fee schedule for assets under management:

Portion of assets up to $1,000,000: .90%

Portion of assets between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000: .50%

Portion of assets in excess of $10,000,000: .25%

EXAMPLE

For $3,000,000 under management, the calculation would be:

First $1,000,000 x .009 = $9,000

Next $2,000,000 x .005 = $10,000

Annual Investment Advisory Fee = $19,000
