Sterling is compensated for investment management services by charging a fee based on an annual rate on total AUM or AUA for Model Programs. Fixed fees may be set when the amount of work involved is not directly related to AUM or AUA. Fees and minimum account sizes may vary or be negotiable depending on various factors. Fees are generally billed quarterly, in advance or arrears. Performance-based fees may be available where applicable by law. Please refer to Appendix A for Sterling’s standard fee schedules.
