Core Planning charges a maximum annual asset management fee of 1.10%, negotiable based on factors like the money manager selected and asset value. For example, the effective annual rate for a client with $1,500,000 AUM would be 0.98%. They also offer ongoing financial planning for a fixed fee not to exceed $1,200 per month, and hourly project financial planning at a maximum of $250 per hour, both negotiable based on complexity. There is no stated minimum to open an account, but some third-party money managers may have minimums.
