Engagement & Pricing

What it costs, in plain English.

Exponential Advisors is fee-only. That means the only money this firm earns is the fee you pay directly. No commissions, no product sales, no third-party payments. It also operates as a fiduciary, which means it is legally required to act in your best interest. Here is how pricing works.

Client-facing · Consistent with Form ADV Part 2A

Fee Negotiation

Additional Disclosures

Clients may incur costs in addition to advisory fees, including custodial fees, transaction costs, and fund operating expenses. These costs are not assessed by Exponential Advisors and are described in the custodian’s and fund’s respective disclosures.

A higher advisory fee does not necessarily result in better investment performance. Fees reduce the overall return on your investments.
