what we charge

Transparency is our watchword. Whatever level of service you need, you’ll know what the cost is up front.

01

Financial Planning

The cost to create and maintain your financial plan depends on the level of complexity you need and the scope of ongoing advice as your circumstances and goals evolve. In every case, however, the fee is flat, transparent, and agreed upon at the onset. You’ll pay an annual flat fee for a 12-month agreement that you are able to renew yearly or cancel. This includes your initial analysis, automated meetings to keep you on track, access to our entire team and their diverse backgrounds, skill sets and specialties, maintaining your plan, and any advice you need. The minimum annual fee for Financial Planning starts at $5,000 for new clients.

02

Investments

5280 Associates offers a number of options available to you depending on your individual situation. To manage your investments, 5280 Associates charges a percentage of the assets under its care. As your account balance grows, the percentage you pay decreases. Your fee covers advice on account selection based on your risk tolerance, establishing the account, ongoing management, and review meetings. For new clients not enrolled in our Financial Planning Program, the minimum investment amount is $1 million per household. There is not an assets under management minimum for Financial Planning clients.

*In a wrap account, you pay a single fee that covers both investment management advice provided and the execution of transactions by our custodian.  In a non-wrap account, you will pay for our investment advice separately from the cost of individual transactions paid to our custodian.

03

insurance

Insurance premiums are based on a variety of factors, including age and health indicators. The insurer compensates advisors for each contract, so clients do not pay any additional fees directly to their advisor. During Financial Planning, we may recommend you implement protection products. We can help you establish these products.
