How to calculate the total cost of wealth management?

The total cost of wealth management can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Cost (C) is given by:

§§ C = \left( A \times \frac{F}{100} + A_f \right) \times D §§

where:

  • § C § — total cost of wealth management
  • § A § — total assets under management
  • § F § — annual management fee percentage
  • § A_f § — additional fees
  • § D § — investment duration in years

This formula allows you to estimate how much you will spend on wealth management services over a specified period, taking into account both the management fees and any additional costs.

Example:

  • Total Assets Under Management (§ A §): $100,000
  • Annual Management Fee (§ F §): 1.5%
  • Additional Fees (§ A_f §): $500
  • Investment Duration (§ D §): 5 years

Total Cost:

§§ C = \left( 100000 \times \frac{1.5}{100} + 500 \right) \times 5 = 8,000 §$
