Annual marginal rates are 1.10% on the first $500,000, 1.00% on the next $500,000, 0.85% on the next $1 million and 0.75% above $2 million. Each rate applies only within its tier; fees may be negotiated.

Sources: ADV.

V27. Are advisory fees the only costs to consider?

No. Custody, transactions, investments and other applicable charges can add costs. Ask for the total expected cost of the proposed relationship, not just the advisory rate.

Sources: CRS.

No. An account minimum and a service fee are different. Resolute discloses paid planning and investment-management services even though it does not impose a new-client account minimum.

Sources: CRS.

Resolute offers discretionary and non-discretionary arrangements. The agreement determines its authority; discuss the approval process and any permitted investment restrictions before engaging.
