The RIA model typically provides far more flexibility with how you can charge your clients for your services.

AUM, flat, subscription, hourly are some of the options.

Even the most used “AUM fee” comes with additional flexibility.

• The frequency in which you charge the fee.
• What pricing tiers you use.
• Whether you charge in advance or arrears.
• Whether the fee is based on a single date in time (ex: quarter end), or an average of the period.
• The ability to pair an AUM with another fee type (ex: flat fee.)

In this episode (#126) of the Transition To RIA question and answer series I explain the different fee types most often used in the RIA model.

Come take a listen!
