For over 25 years, Quantifacts has been helping the wealth management industry to model, analyze, and optimize their fee schedules.  We also run annual fee surveys to monitor the latest industry trends.  During the course of our work, we have seen all manner of pricing scenarios, including base fees, wrap fees, minimum fees, fee rebates, and much, much more.  And the latest trend is that pricing is getting more complex with the introduction of new products such as Separately Managed Accounts, Unified Managed Accounts, etc. In 2007 alone, we either have been involved directly with or heard about a surprising number of wealth managers who have made significant pricing changes.

The Quantifacts time-tested methodology for pricing studies involves unique and powerful processes.  First, we develop feeds from your trust systems to extract and load your actual data – down to the individual account and position level – into our relational database.  Quantifacts then balances this data to your general ledger to ensure complete accuracy of our results.  We can then run your fee schedules and your competitors’ fee schedules against your actual accounts for detailed comparison purposes.  We can also model other important “what if” scenarios, such as asset mix changes, market valuation changes, etc.  The results of these precision studies not only provide management with the information and insight required to understand their competitive positioning, but also provide tools for frontline staff to communicate more effectively your institution’s value proposition regarding pricing versus the competition.
