Typically, fee based financial advisors charge a percentage of your investments or assets under management (AUM) as their fee. The average fee ranges from .5% for AUM over $1 million to 2% of AUM under $1 million per year.
Unlike traditional financial advisors who might have a fee structure that includes commissions or fees based on how much money you have, we've embraced a transparent fee-only pricing model that's as thoughtful and personalized as the financial advice we provide.
With Belle Eve Financial, you're not just getting a service; you're gaining an objective financial confidante who is as invested in your financial success as you are.
Finally, fixed pricing for financial planning.
