Shearwater
Capital is a fee-only investment advisory
firm, which means that our compensation
is based solely
on the amount of funds under management. There are two main advantages
to a fee-only approach:
- Unlike many financial firms, we receive no
compensation from the fund companies or investment vehicles we select for our
clients. As a result, we are free to select the best investments for our clients
in a completely independent manner.
- The fee-only approach aligns your
advisor's interests with your own. Since our compensation is directly linked to
the size of your account, we have a financial incentive for the account to grow
as large as possible. We also have an incentive to minimize your transaction costs,
tax liabilities and anything else that might hinder the growth of your account.

| Account
Size | Annual Fee | | Less than $100,000 | 0.85% |
| $100,000 - $250,000 | 0.75% | | $250,000
- $500,000 | 0.65% | | $500,000 -
$1,000,000 | 0.55% | | $1,000,000
- $2,500,000 | 0.45% | | $2,500,000
- $5,000,000 | 0.35% | | $5,000,000
- $10,000,000 | 0.25% | | More than
$10,000,000 | 0.15% | The annual fees
quoted above apply to the total value of all accounts that a client has with Shearwater
Capital. In other words, if a client has an IRA worth $300,000 and a taxable account
worth $225,000, the annual fee is 0.55% based on the total value of $525,000. Please
note that this is more favorable for the client than a tiered or blended fee structure
in which the 0.85% fee is applied to the first $100,000, 0.75% to the next $150,000,
etc. Open an account
