As you explore different options for your financial future, you may hear the terms “fee-only” and “fee-based” mentioned by different wealth management firms. With fee-only management, there are no commissions, no kickbacks, and no proprietary products. Your exact fee is determined by the size and complexity of your situation and generally ranges from 0.50% to 1.50% of assets under management. A fee-based firm may earn commission, fees, and/or kickbacks on products they recommend and sell in addition to the assets under management fee. Here at GDS Wealth Management, we are a fee-only firm, meaning we are paid an annual percentage for the assets you have under our management. We aim to make our fee structure fully transparent.
