A CLEARER PICTURE OF COST

What do the fees add up to?

Compare costs in dollars, then discuss the services and relationship behind them. These inputs are illustrative, not quotes from listed advisors.

Your comparison

Advisor A
Advisor B

For a flat-fee arrangement, set the advisory percentage to zero. If fund expenses are already included in a quoted all-in fee, leave fund expenses at zero to avoid counting them twice.

MAKE THE NUMBERS COMPARABLE

$1,250

difference in estimated annual costs

Advisor A$5,750 / year
Advisor B$4,500 / year
Advisor A · 10 years$57,500
Advisor B · 10 years$45,000

Illustration assumes a constant portfolio value and unchanged fees. Excludes growth, contributions, withdrawals, taxes, tiered schedules, trading costs, and other charges. It is not a forecast or a recommendation.
