Fee
- $500 one-time fee to get started.
- $10,960 annual fee, includes first $3M of assets we manage
The flat fee includes investment management on $600,000 to $3,000,000, annual retirement income and tax planning, and filing your individual federal tax return. The fee will be higher for complicating factors, like a family business, complex real estate holdings, etc. and for assets above $3M. The fee is billed quarterly from assets and 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 $10,960 with approximately $2,740 billed every quarter directly debited from their investment account (equivalent to about a 0.47% fee on assets managed).
