Fee Structure

Under the Investment Adviser arrangement, Principal Securities charges a separate advisory fee, which is negotiable but will not exceed the following:

SEI Investment Management Corporation (Managed Account Solutions):

  • Up to 1.75% annually on assets up to $500,000
  • Up to 1.20% annually on assets between $500,001 and $999,999
