How much does it cost?
In our view, planning should come before money moves. We begin with a fee-only financial planning engagement so you can understand the plan and feel confident in the relationship before transferring assets. Only once the plan is complete do we support implementation through independent portfolio managers, ensuring decisions are intentional and aligned, not made in reverse.
As part of our Integrated Wealth Management model, ongoing planning fees are deducted from your assets once investment management is in place. For portfolios below $500,000, a blended structure may be used, with fees billed partly directly to you and partly through your portfolio.
The ongoing financial planning fee is as follows:
Household Size
Referral / Planning Fee
$350,000 or below
1%
$350,000 - $2,000,000
0.6%
$2,000,000+
