The most common fee structures for investment management services are:   Fixed fee: a set payment amount that doesn’t take the individual account details into consideration. Hourly fee: a payment based on the billed hours of the individual financial advisor. Asset-based fee: a percentage-based fee derived from the total monetary value of the investment portfolio. Performance-based fee: a percentage-based fee that is calculated post-growth, the size of which depends upon the performance of the portfolio. Commission fee: a fee that is derived from commissions of sales and purchases of portfolio assets.   Insight Wealth utilizes an asset-based fee-only structure, meaning we have a natural incentive to bolster your portfolio rather than push individual products or transactions like other financial advisors. Investment management firms generally charge a fee for the assets under the firm’s management. This fee is usually a percentage of the total value of the portfolio under management. Many firms charge a management fee of around 1 percent, and offer a sliding fee scale depending on the amount of assets held.
