Investment Management Accounts
All Investment Management Account clients complete the Saturna Capital Investment Management Agreement, which details the terms of our relationship.
The annual advisory fee for private Investment Management Accounts is $2,500, plus 0.5% of the first $5 million and 0.4% on amounts over $5 million; with a minimum quarterly fee of $1,250 (minimum $5,000 annually). Accounts with less than $1 million are limited to holding only equities and mutual funds. We believe this fee structure is most competitive, and is not negotiable. Extra fees or other arrangements may be mutually agreed depending upon the complexity of the services rendered. The following table illustrates the effective rate for accounts of varying value.
| Account Value | Annual Rate | |
| $ 500,000 | 1.00% | |
| $ 1,000,000 | 0.75% | |
| $ 2,500,000 | 0.60% | |
| $10,000,000 | 0.475% |
There are no brokerage commissions when securities are traded through
Saturna Brokerage Services. The single asset-based fee is for investment
management, trading, and custody (“wrap fee”). Further, the investment
management fee is reduced for (1) multiple accounts, and (2) exclusion of
assets on which Saturna is paid a fee; for example, by a fund, distributor,
or broker. The Advisory Agreement authorizes your custodian to pay fees
for Saturna's services from the custodian account(s) when such fees are
invoiced by Saturna.
Fees are computed after the end of each quarter, based on the account’s
value at the end of the quarter. There is no fee for the initial (partial)
quarter. Contracts may be canceled by either party at any time without
penalty.
Fees may be changed by Saturna Capital only after 60 days written notice.
Saturna does not compensate for client referrals nor does it receive cash or other economic benefit from a non-client in connection with giving advice to clients. Investment Management Accounts may involve certain
conflicts of interest, described further here.
