Fee structure

Fee-only means exactly that. Here is every number.

We are compensated in one way: a transparent, tiered percentage of the assets we manage, billed directly to you. No commissions, no product revenue, no surprises buried in a prospectus.

How our fees work

  • Fees are tiered and blended: each portion of your assets is billed at the rate for its tier, so your effective rate declines as your relationship grows.
  • Advisory fees are billed quarterly in arrears and calculated on the average daily balance of managed assets.
  • A relationship minimum of $500,000 applies, subject to a $5,000 annual minimum fee.
  • Comprehensive financial planning is included for ongoing advisory clients at no additional charge.

The fees shown are standard schedules and may be negotiated in limited circumstances. Underlying funds and ETFs carry their own internal expense ratios, which are separate from and additional to Calderwood’s advisory fee. Full details are available in our Form ADV Part 2A.
