The Flat Fee Advantage
Clarity Capital Advisors provides an array of Fee-Only Wealth Management services such as Financial Planning and Investment Management for one flat fee. Flat fee pricing ensures Total Fee Transparency for investors and enables them to keep more of their wealth working for them instead of being paid out in high asset-based "AUM" percentage advisory fees. Many investors are unaware of the "dollar amount" of the fees they pay.
A 1% fee might see trivial, but on a $1 million portfolio it's $10,000 per year and this dollar amount will increase as the portfolio increases in size. At $2 million, it's $20,000 per year, and so on. Our clients enjoy the benefits of working with a team of flat-fee, fee-only credentialed financial professionals for a fraction of the cost of other financial firms. Clarity's team structure ensures a synergetic approach to meet the individual wealth management needs of each client.
