Our firm belief is that any client needs to know the fees they are being charged by us and by others providing any part of the investment service. Seems like a simple concept. Not many organizations provide this kind of transparency. We do.
With our partners, we believe in the concept of tailoring one investment advisory fee for the individual client, based on the service mix he/she, their family or their organization desires. If fiduciary services are required in the form of Trust oversight, one fee for the fiduciary work to be provided will be charged for the ongoing service required. Underlying manager, custodial and any trading costs/ fees will be negotiated by Samoset and the benefit will be passed on to the client.
In general most fees will be charged quarterly as a percentage of average AUM/AUA or as a percentage of AUM/AUA at the beginning of each quarter. Institutional services will be charged by assignment.
Samoset will provide access to its own model portfolios and specific core portfolios where we can provide value to clients in terms of after tax performance and lesser fees. In these portfolios or access vehicles we will seek to provide a service for less expense than the market offers and to simply recover our costs incurred in providing the service to each client. Any such fee will be fully disclosed to the client prior to managing any client assets.
