Portfolio Monitoring and Management
The type of revenue is broken down below:
• Fee based accounts, with portfolio management services offered by a third-party asset manager
• Managed accounts wherein WMS acts as portfolio manager
• Commission based
We offer three distinct levels of service known as our Service Offerings. Services provided are based on total assets under
management per client household. The three Service Offerings levels are defined below:
WMS generates revenue by several compensation methods. These options include:
1. Percentage of assets under management – Discretionary and Non-Discretionary
2. Hourly charges for financial planning engagements
3. Commissions – primarily for alternative investments, payable to Associated Persons
Percentage of assets under management: Discretionary
For clients on our Service Offerings platform, fees are deducted directly from the clients’ brokerage accounts. Fees are billed
quarterly in advance based on the value of the clients’ account balances as of the final day of the previous calendar quarter.
Fees cover all services listed in the Service Offerings model appropriate for each client. Billing typically occurs by the 15th
of the month following the end of the calendar quarter. Our fee schedule is detailed below and only on rare occasions is
this fee schedule negotiable.
