OUR FEE STRUCTURE

We will only take you on as a new client when we feel confident that the value of the services we provide will exceed the financial commitment you make to us.
 
Integrated Life Planning

Integrated Life Planning services are available for clients who have at least $500,000 of financial assets they wish to have managed. The Integrated Life Planning fee is comprised of two components which are combined to calculate the total annual fee. In the first year, there is an up-front fee of $3,000 to develop the initial financial plan plus an annual financial planning retainer of $1,000 ($250/quarter) to provide ongoing financial planning support. In subsequent years, the annual financial planning retainer covers ongoing financial planning.
 
The investment management component starts at 1% of Assets Under Management (AUM) with a minimum annual charge of $4,250 (calculated quarterly). The investment management component is on a declining scale per the following schedule and is not negotiable:
 
            Assets                                              Base + Percent Formula
 
$250,001 - $500,000        Annual Fee $2,500 + 0.70% of portfolio value over $250,000
 
$500,001 - $750,000        Annual Fee $4,250 + 0.55% of portfolio value over $500,000
 
$750,001 - $5,000,000     Annual Fee $5,625 + 0.40% of portfolio value over $750,000
 
Over $5,000,001                Annual Fee $22,625 + 0.25% of portfolio value over $5,000,000
 
Integrated Life Planning fees are billed quarterly in advance. The investment management (AUM) component is based on the portfolio balance at the start of the quarter; initial fees for partial quarters are prorated.
 
Retirement Scenario Planning

This service is ideal for people looking to retire within the next 1-10 years, or who are already in retirement. It is geared toward individuals and couples who want to explore various retirement planning scenarios. By the end of this engagement, you will have a clearer picture of your retirement readiness, or, if already retired, your retirement security.
 
The Retirement Scenario Planning service costs $3,000, due upon signing the contract.
 
Hourly Financial Planning Project Fees
trueNorth offers restricted-scope hourly financial planning on a limited basis, and only to clients who reasonably expect to engage the firm for Integrated Life Planning services within the next few years.
 
Our hourly rate is currently $150/hour. You are billed for any meeting time, plan preparation/presentation time, and any hard costs.
