Fee Structure
Merkle Retirement Planning's fees for investment management are based on a percentage of the value of your portfolio. The exact fee is negotiable and can be up to 2.00% annually. The fee includes a portion for AE Wealth Management and the model portfolio manager, if applicable. Fees are deducted from your account monthly. This is a wrap fee program, so you generally won't pay separate commissions or custodial fees. However, you may incur charges from mutual funds or ETFs within your portfolio.
