Fee Structure

This firm offers both wrap-fee and non-wrap fee programs. In a wrap fee program, clients pay a single, bundled fee that covers investment advisory services and the execution of transactions. In a non-wrap fee program, the advisory fee does not include trade execution costs or other service charges, and these costs are incurred separately by the client. Variable annuities are excluded from wrap fee program billing.
