Fees

Everyone’s preference

We would all benefit from understanding that the cost is “X”
But that is just not realistic . . . nor is it helpful

Need for discussion

The price that we mutually agree upon will result from a serious conversation
As it properly should
After all, it is about meeting your needs as an advisory practice. and each practice is different
So “price” can only result from a meaningful conversation

Why such a wide range

Complexity . . . number of investment models designed and managed
