Advisory Fees
Investment Advisory Fees range from an annual rate of 1.00% to 0.30% based on the following blended fee schedule:
Assets Under Management | Annual |
First $1,000,000 | 1.00% |
Next $1,000,000 ($1,000,001 - $2,000,000) | 0.75% |
Next $3,000,000 ($2,000,001 - $5,000,000) | 0.50% |
Over $5,000,000 | 0.30% |
For example, a household with $2,000,000 under management would pay 1.00% on the first $1,000,000 and 0.75% on the next $1,000,000 for a total effective rate of 0.875% annually.
