Fees and services may be negotiated based on client type, asset class, and other factors. AAM usually requires a minimum account size of $250,000 for fixed income strategies and $100,000 for equity strategies, but this is also negotiable. AAM also provides investment management services as a sub-adviser to certain accounts, typically ranging from 0.25% to 0.70% of the assets managed by AAM.
