Fee Structure
Equitable Advisors offers investment management through LPL Financial programs and third-party asset managers (TAMPs). Fees vary depending on the program and assets invested.
For LPL programs like SAM, fees are based on a percentage of your portfolio. In some cases, you can choose whether to pay transaction charges directly or have the advisor pay them, which affects the overall advisory fee.
When using TAMPs, the fees are determined by the TAMP and a portion is paid to Equitable Advisors. The specific fees, minimums, and arrangements vary by TAMP, so it's important to review their brochures.
Equitable Advisors also offers ERISA fiduciary services to retirement plans, with fees determined by the specific services provided.
