Investment Management Fee Schedule

Straightforward, tiered pricing.

Checkpoint Planning directs and supervises the investment management of your assets, maintaining an appropriate portfolio allocation year after year. The rate is determined by your total portfolio value. Whichever tier your portfolio falls into, that single rate applies to the entire account balance. No cost for the purchase and sale of securities within the managed account.
