Delegated portfolio management, retirement planning, and financial planning for tech-savvy pre-retirees (gen X) and recent retirees (young boomers)
"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." --Benjamin Franklin
My services are most cost-effective for households with $2.0 million or more of investable assets (ie, IRAs, brokerage accounts, bank cash balances, and/or rollover-eligible employer retirement plans).
Initial (one-time) planning fee: $2,500 - $4,000
| Fee% | Tier | Managed Assets |
|---|---|---|
| 1.00% | First $1 million | $0 to $1,000,000 |
| 0.85% | Next $2 million | $1,000,001 to $3,000,000 |
| 0.70% | Next $3 million | $3,000,001 to $6,000,000 |
| 0.55% | Amounts > $6 million | $6,000,001+ |
This is a blended fee schedule. This means that the assets in a client’s account will be billed at different levels according to the fee schedule above.
For example, if a client had an account value of $6,500,000 then the following equation would be used to calculate their quarterly fee:
First $1,000,000 x 0.01 = $10,000, plus
Next $2,000,000 x 0.85 = $17,000, plus
Next $3,000,000 x 0.70 = $21,000, plus
Remaining $500,000 x 0.55 = $2,750
Total Annual Rate = $50,750
Charged quarterly = $12,687.50
The above fee is subject to a quarterly minimum of $2,575 (increases 3% annually on Jan. 1). This is a minimum, not an additional fee.
