American Investment Services
Low Cost Independent Investment Management and Advice

PAM Fee Schedule

Our management fee is among the lowest in the industry. Like many advisors, we have a tiered, cumulative fee structure based on assets under management (AUM) where AUM is the combined value of all accounts you have with us. Our only source of management revenue is the fee we charge to you directly, we do not earn any commissions or other compensation on trades nor are we reimbursed by any third party.

The actual fee is calculated and billed quarterly in arrears. For example, if you have $600,000 in AUM, at the end of each calendar quarter you will be billed one quarter of the sum of: 0.80% of the first $250,000 plus 0.55% of the next $250,000 plus 0.25% of the last $100,000. This is equivalent to 0.60% annually. The fee for various AUM (to the nearest dollar) is calculated below:
