Personal financial management involves comprehensive, ongoing financial planning and guidance, which includes managing your investment portfolios. It's on a tiered schedule as a percentage on the value of the assets we manage. It starts at 1.25% per year for the first $500,000 and goes down to 0.50% for value above $10 million. If the initial value of your investment account is below $250,000, we generally bill an initial planning fee of $3,000.
