Gwynedd’s primary objective is to provide exceptional money management and advice in a cost effective, transparent manner. The following fee schedule includes Gwynedd’s advisory fee, the custodians’ fee and the investment vehicle expense ratio. Most firms charge an additional fee for financial planning services.

The following are Gwynedd’s advisory fee schedule and that of our primary custodian, Folio Investments. In addition, we have listed the investment vehicle fees of a typical model portfolio. Please note, Gwynedd may utilize Separate Account managers depending on the needs of the client and only with client approval. Separate Account manager fees vary and typically begin at .25%.
