Fee Structure

Financial Planning:Investment management only

VRA earns revenue from platform fees (Edelman Financial Engines program only) and Professional Management (PM) program asset-based fees. The platform fee can range from zero to $6.00 annually. The PM fee does not exceed 0.60% for the lowest asset level breakpoint annually. Fees are deducted from your retirement plan account on a monthly or quarterly basis. If a participant enrolls in multiple PM program accounts with the same plan sponsor, the value of the accounts will be combined for the purpose of assessing total advisory fees.
