Unconditional Commitment
Unlike other financial planning firms, we do not receive commissions. Our fee-only philosophy ensures that only the most appropriate financial products and strategies will be selected to suit your unique situation and profile. We represent you, not the financial services industry.
The SK Way
Fee-Only
Investing with SKWealth
SKWealth is compensated by fees only. We do not receive any compensation from commissions or other transaction charges. For the management of investment portfolios, our fees are based on the assets under management.
SKWealth focuses on tailored strategies for portfolios with a suggested minimum of $1,000,000 in assets under management among all accounts.
Fee Schedule
Fees are rarely negotiable and are invoiced quarterly (in arrears) and deducted from clients’ accounts (clients may elect to be billed quarterly in arrears) per the following schedule:
Annual Account Balances
0 – $100,000
$100,001 – $250,000
$250,001 – $700,000
$700,001 – $1,250,000
$1,250,001 – $2,500,00
$2,500,001 and above
Percentage
1.50%
1.25%
1.00%
0.60%
0.50%
0.40%
The above is a tiered fee schedule. This means that, depending on a client’s asset level, the client may be subject to multiple fee tiers. For example, a client with assets in the amount of $1,500,000 would be subject to an annual fee rate of 1.5% on the first $100,000, 1.25% on the next $150,000, 1% on the next $450,000, 0.6% on the next $550,000 and 0.5% on the remaining $250,000.

Our Approach
Towards Sustained Prosperity
Our approach comprises of a combination of both active and passive management. This is the most beneficial approach for portfolios — especially when considering the growth of advanced indexes. Additionally, both management techniques can complement each other within asset classes and allow investors to tilt portfolios to the best opportunities within and across markets.
As a result, SKWealth clients can expect that we strive to build the most cost-effective, resilient, and robust portfolios possible.

We offer a wide range of investment options for our clients. This includes sustainable and impact investing that incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. We identify well-managed companies with the strongest demonstrated performance in areas of environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance.
