Asset Management
Fee Structure
Total Wealth Management uses a tiered fee schedule in serving our clients in asset management strategies. Minimum investment is $250,000.
$250,000-$999,999 1.40% per annum*
$1,000,000-$1,999,999 1.25% per annum
$2,000,000+ 1.00% per annum
Fees are not laddered, but are aggregated upon the entire balance.
For example, if a client makes an initial investment of $900,000, the asset management fees would be 1.4% per year, as described above. Over time, assume the account has grown to $1,400,000. Many firms would charge 1.4% on the first $1,000,000 and 1.25% on the $400,000 above that threshold. With TWM, your fees would be 1.25% on the entire amount instead of having a laddered fee structure. We believe this is fair and equitable to our clients.
For many clients, a written financial plan will be necessary to best identify all the areas that can be enhanced and/or better managed in a client's complete financial picture. This written plan is called a Asset Optimization Strategy and will accomplish its namesake.
The cost for the plan's creation and development is usually $500.00. A more complex case may have a higher development fee of $1,000.00, but this is rare. These fees are credited toward the annual management fees (described above) if the client wishes to utilize Total Wealth Management to implement the strategies outlined within the Asset Optimization Strategy. However, the client is free to implement the strategies with whomever they are most comfortable.
* Fees are assessed quarterly, on the balance of the account at the end of each quarter.
This form of asset management is an active management portfolio strategy that contains an underlying objective, dictating a specific strategic asset mix among many asset classes and sectors. In order to create extra value, this method allows portfolio managers to rebalance at will to take advantage of short-term gains in the market, generally created through pricing anomalies and/or strong sector performance. The portfolio manager returns to the original asset mix after the desired short-term gains have been captured, making this method of management a moderately active strategy.
A more passive method of asset management than tactical asset allocation, this strategy involves periodically rebalancing a portfolio in order to maintain a long-term goal. Though other opportunities may arise, the portfolio manager employing this methodology will not deviate from the original asset mix, although the underlying investments may change as needed.

These investments might include private equity such as Tenants-in-Common (TICs), Oil & Gas, Real Estate Development projects and Arbitrage/Leveraging Strategies.
While significant returns may be achievable, there are several paramount considerations. One must be an accredited investor to consider most of these investments.
