What does a fiduciary financial advisor charge?

Fiduciary advisors typically charge either a percentage of assets under management (AUM), a flat fee, or an hourly rate. At Rubiq Financial Partners, we use a tiered AUM-based fee structure that decreases as your portfolio grows — ensuring our interests are aligned with yours. We do not earn commissions on investment products.

What is the difference between fee-only and fee-based financial advisors?

Fee-only advisors receive compensation exclusively from client fees and accept no commissions or third-party payments. Fee-based advisors primarily charge fees but may also receive commissions on certain products. Rubiq operates on a fee-based model through Wealthcare Advisory Partners, with full transparency on all compensation.

Are there hidden fees in wealth management?

Reputable fiduciary advisors disclose all fees upfront. Beyond advisory fees, investors should be aware of fund expense ratios, transaction costs, and custodial fees. At Rubiq, we provide a complete fee breakdown so clients understand the total cost of their investment program.

What is a typical minimum investment for a UHNW wealth advisor?

Minimums vary widely among wealth advisors serving ultra-high-net-worth clients. Some require $1M or more, while others assess fit based on complexity and planning needs rather than a strict asset threshold. Contact us to discuss whether our services align with your situation.
