AssetBuilder Fees
We bridge the gap with simplicity, discipline and execution when the investor doesn’t want to travel the do-it-yourself path. We have developed statistically efficient portfolios using Dimensional Advisor funds - risk calibrated portfolios. Our service is based on being employed by you to manage your investments with these statistically efficient portfolios.
Our pricing is more than competitive
The business model supporting our mission is “fee-only.” This frees us from the conflicts associated with commission-based transactions. Based on our use of innovative technology, we offer a very competitive fee-only structure. Between the low costs of the funds we use and our industry challenging fee structure, we deliver more of the return on your money from day one.
AssetBuilder will tailor a portfolio based on your financial goal, your investment horizon, and your risk tolerance. Using the four elements of investing; simple indexing, simple diversification, smart indexing and smart asset allocation, we can make investing for the long-term both easy and rewarding.
We’re in this together. We will succeed when you do. This means working with you to accomplish your financial objectives.

There are three costs associated with doing business with us:
Operating expense ratio of the funds.
The gross expense ratio is the compilation of expense ratios of the 11 funds we use in the construction of our portfolios and ranges from .25% to .47%. The lower gross expense ratio denotes more fixed income and the higher gross expense ratio denotes more equity. There are no loads (commissions) or 12b-1 fees associated with DFA. (www.dfaus.com)
Our asset management fee.
Our business model is “fee only”. This allows us to be free from the conflicts associated with “fee based” or commission based transactions inherent in the industry. Therefore, the fee table above is the only way we are paid.
Custodial cost for transactions.
There are no set-up fees. To make the equity trades to create the portfolio is based on a per trade cost of $20 min to $49.95 max, depending on the amount traded. Therefore, most of our portfolios require us to buy 11 mutual funds where the cost is between $220 to $550.
Our success is driven by helping you achieve your investment goals.
