How we price
Protocol Wealth charges either an asset-based fee or a fixed fee. Our annual asset-based fee ranges from 0.25% to 2.00% of assets under management, depending on the services provided, the complexity of the relationship and the size of the account. Clients may instead pay a fixed fee: a monthly retainer for ongoing planning and advisory services, or a project fee agreed in advance. Hybrid arrangements combining a reduced asset-based fee with a fixed planning fee are available where they better reflect the work involved.
A monthly retainer is set by what you are looking for from us, the complexity of your situation and how involved you want us to be. We check it against what an asset-based fee would be for the same relationship, so that we arrive at an amount both of us agree to. We look at every pricing model, asset-based, retainer, project fee or a combination, for what makes the most sense for each client.
We do not impose a minimum account size. All fees are negotiable and are set out in writing in Exhibit A of your Client Advisory Agreement before the relationship begins. Fees are billed monthly in arrears and are separate from third-party costs such as custodian fees, brokerage and execution costs, fund expense ratios, and blockchain network (gas) fees.
Every fee is set along five dimensions
Time & intensity
Meeting cadence, responsiveness, and how often we monitor.
Capabilities engaged
Planning, discretionary management, digital-asset and onchain operations, and options strategy.
Services breadth
How many of our services and schedules the relationship uses.
Advice complexity
Multi-entity, trust and estate structures, restricted positions, tax coordination, and cross-border considerations.
Technology complexity
Custody architecture, onchain execution, and the tooling needed to manage and report on it.
Fees are set individually per engagement and documented in writing in Exhibit A of your Client Advisory Agreement before the relationship begins. No single client's terms are typical.
