What is a 1% fee really costing you?

AUM fees grow with your portfolio. Every dollar paid off the top is a dollar that never grows again. Our pricing is based on complexity, not assets. Enter your numbers and see the difference.

Illustrative comparison at your selected tier, with the flat fee assumed to increase 3% annually. A fee comparison only; not a projection of investment returns or tax savings. AUM fees reflect industry-average effective rates by account size, averaged from the Kitces Research study and Fidelity RIA Benchmarking Study; rates between published data points are interpolated. Assumes a constant annual return you select, with no contributions or withdrawals; actual returns vary and may be negative. Valence tier pricing is based on planning complexity, not portfolio size. See our Fee Comparison Methodology for full assumptions and sources.

Your portfolio size is not our invoice.

AUM fees scale with your portfolio

As your portfolio grows, an AUM fee grows with it. But the work doesn't. Same number of meetings. Same advice. Same investments - you're just buying more shares.

Every fee dollar stops compounding

Money paid off the top never grows again. Over decades, the gap between the two lines above is mostly lost compounding, not just fees.
