Our All-Inclusive Service Fee
Every dollar of expense is one less dollar you will have for your future use.
There are two ways to ask financial advisors about the cost of their services:
- What is the cost of your advice and services? The answer might be 1% of your assets
- What is the fully-loaded cost of your advice and services? The answer might be 2.5% of your assets or more
Why did the fees in the second response more than double? Because there can be layers and layers of third party fees, commissions, and transacation charges that are deducted from your assets.
Small differences in fees can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars over longer time periods.
Our Full Disclosure

Fee-Only
GlidePath’s only method of compensation is a single, all-inclusive, asset-based fee that is deducted from an account that is designated by you.
Fee Schedule
GlidePath has a sliding schedule of fees. The more assets you place with us, the lower the incremental fee.
Our fee schedule is expressed in basis points because our initial fee is less than 1% (100 basis points = 1%):
- 95 basis point on the first $500,000
- 85 basis points on the next $500,000
- 75 basis points on the next $1,000,000
- 50 basis points on amounts over $2,000,000
Our minimum asset requirement is $100,000, so we can diversify your investments.
Our minimum fee requirements are $1,500 (with a financial plan) or $1,000 (without a financial plan).
Our service fee is billed quarterly-in-arrears. We are a pay as you go service.
Add 30 basis points to the above fee schedule if you require a financial advisor who will meet with you face-to-face.
