• Investment Manager Fee — In the Consulting Solutions program or when utilizing specific investment managers, ranging from 0.00% to 0.50% annually.
• Overlay Manager Fee — When RBC Capital Markets acts as overlay manager, the fee is 0.05%. When Envestnet acts as overlay manager, the fee is 0.10% (which includes tax management and/or responsible investing screens).
• Model Provider Fee — Ranges from 0.00% to 0.65% annually depending on the model portfolio used.
