A disciplined approach crafted specifically for you.
We focus on the aspects that can be controlled, like taxes and fees. This allows us to maximize results in most situations.
Vilga operates on a fixed-fee model.
Fees are transparent, predictable, and aligned with the scope and complexity of each relationship – initially informed by portfolio size.
Fees are negotiable.
Fees are debited quarterly from Charles Schwab accounts.
Because Vilga charges a flat fee rather than a percentage of assets, the fee will not automatically decrease if a client's portfolio value declines.
Our Fees
Vilga's fees are based primarily on the complexity of client's financial situation and the scope of services provided. Assets Under Advisement* are used as a general guideline to help prospective clients understand typical fee ranges.
A $3,000 one-time onboarding fee is charged at engagement. Fees are debited quarterly from Charles Schwab accounts.
* Assets Under Advisement (AUA) = assets managed at Charles Schwab plus outside investments such as retirement plans, private investments, brokerage accounts, and bank accounts. Assets typically excluded from the AUA: business assets and non-publicly traded real estate.
Because Vilga charges a flat fee rather than a percentage of assets, the fee will not automatically decrease if a client's portfolio value declines. Flat fees may represent a higher percentage of assets for smaller portfolios. Fees are negotiable.
