Fee Structure

Minimum Investment:$2K

IFG offers wrap fee programs where you pay a single fee for advisory services and transactions. The total fee includes a program fee, an advisor fee (negotiated, up to 3.00%), and potentially a manager fee (for FSP, SMA, and UMA programs). Fees are billed quarterly in advance. "Householding" multiple accounts may qualify you for lower fees. The minimum account size varies from $2,000 to $150,000 depending on the program. An additional charge of up to 0.10% may apply for certain tax management services, ESG or socially responsible screening, or other portfolio customization.
