Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
A. Method of Compensation and Fee Schedule
The specific manner in which fees are charged by Wise Planning Inc. is established in a client’s
written agreement with Wise Planning Inc. Although Wise Planning, Inc. believes its advisory
fees are very competitive, clients should be aware that lower fees for comparable services may
be available from other sources.
1. Comprehensive Personal Financial Planning
Flat Fees are based on assets and complexity of a client profile. Investment Assets are
defined as all assets owned other than personal residence, personal property and closely
held businesses without regard to asset manager, custodian or source. No fee is based
upon capital gains or capital appreciation of assets. The matrix below provides the fee
range for levels of investment assets. The minimum annual fee is $3,000 and client fees are
reviewed at the end of each calendar year.
Investment Assets Annual Fee Range
$0-$800,000 $3,000
$800,000-$1,200,000 $3,000 $4,800
$1,200,000-$1,600,000 $4,800 $6,400
$1,600,000-$2,000,000 $6,400 $8,000
$2,000,000-$3,500,000 $8,000 $10,000
$3,500,000-$5,000,000 $10,000 $12,000
$5,000,000-$7,500,000 $12,000 $15,000
$7,500,000 - $20,000,000 $15,000 $22,000
$20,000,000+ Negotiated
2. Hourly Financial Planning – Hourly rate is $250/hour
Examples of hourly projects include analysis and recommendations on a particular financial
issue such as helping a client with budgeting and cash flow management, insurance needs
or education funding analysis, a review of a client’s bond portfolio, or the review for a
business owner of a proposed retirement plan structure and investment options. These
services could take five minutes to twenty hours depending on the complexity.
B. Payment of Client Fees
Fees for Comprehensive Financial Planning are generally payable quarterly in advance.
Engagements initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be charged a prorated fee.
The advisory client shall enjoy a five (5) day penalty free right of rescission. In addition, the
advisory client may terminate the professional relationship at any time and receive a prorated
refund based upon the amount of work already provided. All unearned or unapplied fees shall
be refunded by applicant to the client. Clients may elect to be billed directly for fees or to
authorize Wise Planning Inc. to directly debit fees from client accounts.
Wise Planning clients who were clients of Retirement Benefits Specialists prior to 1/1/2007 will
be billed in arrears.
Hourly fees may be billed monthly or upon completion of a project.
Under no circumstances will Wise Planning require prepayment of a fee more than six months in
advance and in excess of $1,200.
C. Additional Client Fees Charged
Wise Planning Inc.’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other
related costs and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain
charges imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as
fees charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer
taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts
and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal
management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus.
Such charges, fees and commissions are exclusive of and in addition to Wise Planning Inc.’s fee,
and Wise Planning Inc. shall not receive any portion of these commissions, fees, and costs.
Item 12 further describes the factors that Wise Planning Inc. considers in selecting or
recommending broker-dealers for client transactions and determining the reasonableness of
their compensation (e.g., commissions).
D. External Compensation for the Sale of Securities to Clients
Wise Planning, Inc. is compensated only from client fees. We receive no external compensation
from the sale of securities to clients. |
