Avalon offers various investment models with different fee structures. Here's a summary of how the fees work:

For most models, the fee is a percentage of your portfolio, and the rate decreases as your portfolio grows. For example, the Core 4 RS Model charges 1.90% on the first $500K, dropping to 0.60% for amounts over $10 million.

Some models, like the Dynamically Hedged Sector RS Model, Options Model, Commodity – Individual Stock Model, and Ultra Volatility-Resistant (UVRM) Model, also include a performance-based fee, which is a percentage of the profits earned above a certain benchmark.

There is also a flat fee option of 1.50% of assets managed that can be agreed upon by the client and Avalon.
