How does Wealth Enhancement Group charge for its services?
Wealth Enhancement Group uses a fee-based relationship that encompasses both assets under management and comprehensive, long-term financial planning. We don’t charge separate investment and advice fees, which makes our fee structure highly competitive. Your exact fee is determined by the size and complexity of your situation and generally ranges from 1.0% to 1.5% of assets under management. As your advocate, we actively work with our custodians and product partners to minimize non-value-added charges like transaction fees to help protect your investment returns. The net result is that you’re only charged for services we believe deliver real value.
