Fee example: A Comprehensive Financial Planning client with $800,000 of Assets Under Management and a Financial Planning fee of $6,000 would have the following annual (quarterly) fee:

  • Financial Planning Fee - $6,000 ($1,500 per quarter, credited against any Investment Management fee for the quarter)
  • Investment Management Fee - $8,000 ($2,000 per quarter)

Total Fee due for the quarter - $1,500 (Financial Planning) + $500 (Investment Management with credit) = $2,000

Fee example: An Investment Management client with an account valued at $1,500,000 would pay an effective fee of 0.87% with an annual fee of $13,000. The quarterly fee is determined by the following calculation: (($1,000,000 x 1.00%) + ($500,000 x 0.60%)) ÷ 4 = $3,250 ($13,000 annual).
