Fee Schedule

Good Rhino Low Management Fee

The Good Rhino management fee ranges between .10% and .40% per year, typically averaging about .25%.  As assets grow, less is charged. Clients are subject to a $1,000 per quarter minimum fee per household. This management fee is the only source of advisory revenue for our firm.  In comparison, our competitors typically charge 1%-2%.

There are no start-up fees, no annual administration fees, and no hidden costs. And, unlike many advisors, Good Rhino does not participate in any mutual fund fee sharing arrangements, brokerage firm commission splitting programs, or pay-to-play client referral programs.

The Low Fee Advantage

A typical financial advisor collect fees of 1% per year on average for their clients. That’s much too high given the technological advances in investment management industry over the past 20 years. High advisor fees persist because the public doesn’t know that a low cost advisor service exists and has been available for more than a decade.

Good Rhino has an investment management fee that is a fraction of the national average. This fee covers all services and expert advice. A substantial fee savings keeps more money in your pocket and compounds into greater wealth.

Mutual Fund Expenses

Client accounts hold mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) which have expenses which are not related to the Good Rhino management fee. All funds have operating costs that are expressed as an Expense Ratio in each fund’s prospectus. In general, the funds we select for Clients’ accounts have very low expense ratios – among the lowest in the industry. The weighted average expense ratio is about 0.15 percent per year.

Trading Costs

The total commission costs will depend on the type of securities traded and the frequency. Clients should expect to pay a couple of hundred dollars per year in commissions to the account custodian. Good Rhino reserves the right to negotiate trading costs with the account custodian in an effort to achieve the best execution for all Clients. Good Rhino is not compensated from commissions, and we have no incentive to trade in an account other than to keep a portfolio in line with its investment strategy.
