The total fee includes a program fee, advisor fee (negotiable, up to 3.00%), and potentially a manager fee (FSP, SMA, UMA programs). Fees are billed quarterly in advance, based on the account's market value. Clients can household multiple accounts to qualify for lower fees. An additional charge of up to 0.10% may apply for tax management or ESG screening. Lower fees may be available elsewhere. Pershing charges a $10 mutual fund surcharge on certain funds.
