Private Wealth Fee Schedule

The fee for ongoing wealth management is based on a percentage of assets under management (AUM). The baseline annual fee is $1,000. If this layout model is unreasonable based on your initial investible assets, I will recommend a Financial Foundations engagement to get you started cleanly.

Although fees are non-negotiable, I offer structured discounts and pro-bono advisory paths for specific community dynamics.

Advisory Asset Tier Annual Rate
First $500k 1.00%
Next $500k 0.85%
Next $1M 0.70%
Next $3M 0.55%
Next $5M 0.40%
Above $10M 0.25%
