Investment fees are one of the few parts of investing that can be examined, compared, and, in some cases, negotiated. Yet many affluent investors spend more time monitoring market performance than reviewing the costs quietly deducted from their portfolios every year.

That can become expensive over time.

On a $2.5 million portfolio, a 1% advisory fee equals $25,000 annually before accounting for internal fund expenses, platform charges, custodial fees, and other investment-related costs. The fee may be entirely appropriate for the value received—but it should be evaluated rather than assumed.
