Fee Schedule
 Using
the money management world's manner of pricing - a
model based on the value of the money under management
- Portfolio Analysis' fees are a small percentage of
the money under review. The various portfolio
valuation "break points," and the percentage
rate applied to each dollar amount, are shown below. Without custody and discretionary
responsibilities, the cost of Portfolio Analysis tends
to be half the expense of the typical portfolio
manager using mutual funds or individual issues.
(In some cases, it is only a third of the cost).
In short, the client is receiving the analytical
abilities of an experienced investment
professional. However, because he or she is
willing to implement the recommendations - and
determine how frequently they want the review - the
cost is considerably lower. It is seasoned
investment counsel, without the commitment and higher
cost of on-going money management, that may or may not
add value.

Retainer fee:
$1,000 |
An engagement
agreement, quoting the
cost, will be signed prior to the review. At that
signing, the retainer fee is due and work will
commence only after this fee has been received.
(See Administrative
page). At the completion of the review, the
remaining invoice amount is expected to be paid upon
delivery of the recommendations. Note:
The above fee schedule is the preferable pricing for the
majority of clients. In a small number of unique
cases, pricing on a "per decision basis" - as
explained on the FAQ
page - has made sense. Additionally, hourly
billing may be appropriate for the work detailed under Other
Services.
