Transparent costs with no hidden fees
As a SEC Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firm, we operate on a fee-for-service structure. This fee is a percentage of assets that we manage for you starting at a competitive 0.90%. In addition to our advisory fee, clients will incur very modest expense ratios for the funds we use in the portfolio and nominal trading costs charged by TD Ameritrade. We are transparent with our fees and fee breakdowns are always available at your request.
