Who is a typical Avea Financial Planning client?
With 16 years of experience in professional wealth management, I have developed expertise in helping a specific type of client.
- You or your partner is retired or within a couple of years of retiring.
- You, your partner (or both!) work at and plan to retire from PNNL. We work with non-PNNL employees as well.
- You want a high touch, personalized wealth management experience.
- Be eager to refer us to anyone you know who fits my profile.
- You are a financial delegator so you can spend time doing more meaningful things in your life and appreciate having one advisor coordinate all financial things.
- You also want to be a “big fish” within our select client community limited to 25 households.
- You have a minimum $600,000 in investable assets and you want to engage in an ongoing relationship with a trusted fiduciary advisor.

Fee
- $500 one-time fee to get started.
- $9,840 annual fee, billed quarterly from assets.
The flat fee includes investment management on $500,000 to $3,000,000 as well as annual tax planning and filing your individual federal tax return. Fee will be higher for complicating factors, like a family business, complex real estate holdings, etc. and for assets above $3M. The flat fee will be re-evaluated every one to two years.
Many other firms charge between 1% - 2% of assets managed. As your assets grow, so does your fee. Forever.
Here are a few examples to help illustrate the costs:
Rowan and Kyle have a portfolio of about $2,345,000. Their flat annual fee is $9,840 with approximately $2,460 billed every quarter directly debited from their investment account (equivalent to about a .42% fee on assets managed).
Julianna has a total portfolio of about $745,000. Her flat annual fee is $9,840 with approximately $2,460 billed every quarter directly debited from her investment account (equivalent to about a 1.32% fee on assets managed.)
