For assets we manage, we are usually paid as a percentage of assets, which varies by the type of portfolio. For an Allocation Portfolio, our base rate is 0.4% per year, and may even be lower depending on the size of the account and other services provided. The other portfolio strategies that we offer have higher fees.
Under certain circumstances, in lieu of a fee based upon assets under management, we charge a flat yearly fee for asset management services, which by contract may or may not include other types of advisory services as a part of the fee.
Fees for portfolio analysis, due diligence, and second opinion services are charged on a flat fee or hourly basis that varies depending on the breadth and complexity of the assignment.
We operate independent of any other investment firm and do not receive commissions on any financial instrument that is purchased on your behalf as part of an asset management relationship or for which we provide advice to you for a fee.
We neither pay nor receive referral fees. We expect to act in your best interest in referring you to other advisors without compensation of any kind, and we will not pay others to establish a relationship with you.
