The Math: Flat Fee vs. Percentage of Assets

The typical financial advisor charges 0.90% of assets under management (AUM) annually. On a $1.5 million portfolio, that fee is $13,500 every year, regardless of the work performed, and that number grows as your portfolio appreciates.

Foxholm Financial charges a flat $900 for a comprehensive Strategic Portfolio Review. You receive the same deliverables: a written Investment Policy Statement, portfolio analysis, expense ratio audit, and contribution strategy. The difference is structural: our fee reflects the actual work performed, not a perpetual percentage of your wealth. An advice-only model does not include ongoing portfolio management, trade execution, or custodial services, so the comparison depends on the level of service required.

Fee Model Year 1 Year 5
0.90% AUM ($1.5M portfolio) $13,500 $67,500
Foxholm Financial (flat fee) $900 $4,500

AUM estimate assumes a static $1.5M portfolio with no growth. Actual AUM fees increase as portfolio value appreciates. Foxholm Financial estimate assumes one Strategic Portfolio Review per year. An advice-only model does not include ongoing portfolio management, trade execution, or custodial services. Clients who need continuous management may benefit from an AUM relationship. The right model depends on the level of service required.

Property Tax Calculation: Georgia assesses property at 40% of fair market value. Estimated annual tax = Median Home Value × 40% × (Millage Rate ÷ 1,000). For Stone Mountain: $252,000 × 0.40 × (35.50 ÷ 1,000) = ~$3,570/year.
