About This Firm
William Blair serves as sponsor and investment manager for its Comprehensive Fee Program (Wrap Fee Program). PWM Advisors manage accounts based on client objectives, allocating assets to proprietary models. Clients pay a single fee for investment management and trade execution. William Blair has conflicts of interest, including incentives to minimize trading and to recommend affiliated investments. The firm has implemented controls to manage these conflicts.
Fee Structure
William Blair charges a single comprehensive fee for investment advisory services and trade execution costs, up to 2.00% annually, subject to negotiation. Fees are billed quarterly, in advance, based on the market value of portfolio assets. Clients also pay other costs and charges, such as taxes, custodial fees, and fund expenses. The overall cost of the wrap arrangement may be higher than paying standard fees and negotiating transaction costs separately. Fees are negotiable.
