Evaluate the structural cost differences between traditional percentage-based Asset Under Management (AUM) fees and RockCrest Financial’s transparent flat-fee model.
Important Disclosures: This calculator is provided strictly for illustrative and educational purposes to demonstrate, using numbers you input, the difference between a fixed-fee structure and a fee structure based upon a percentage of assets under management. The hypothetical examples assume a fixed flat fee of $15,000 per year for RockCrest Financial; however, actual advisory fees may vary based on scope of services, complexity, and specific engagements. At lower asset levels (e.g., below $1,500,000 depending on the percentage benchmark), a flat-fee structure may yield a higher annual percentage cost than a traditional AUM model.
Other types of fee structures exist and will vary between firms. Calculations do not account for any other expenses or fees that investors may pay.
While advisory fees are a critical factor to evaluate when choosing an advisor, they should be considered in tandem with the scope, quality, and total value of the wealth management services provided.
