Fee questions

The details should not be hidden.

The questions that come up most, answered before you ask them.

Is there an asset minimum?

There is no separate asset minimum. There is a $6,000 annual minimum fee, which is the practical floor: below roughly $650,000 in managed assets, the minimum fee is higher than the percentage fee would be, and Harbor will tell you if that makes the relationship a poor value for you.

How is the investment fee calculated?

0.90% annually on the first $1 million managed, with lower tiers above that amount. The fee is calculated on the average daily balance and billed quarterly in arrears, and it is disclosed in Harbor's Form ADV Part 2A.

Can I work with Harbor without transferring assets?

Yes. A planning-only engagement starts at $4,800 per year and covers the same planning scope without investment management. It fits people who want the plan and intend to implement it themselves.

Do you receive commissions?

No. Harbor is fee-only: compensated solely by client fees, with no commissions, revenue sharing, referral payments, or product compensation of any kind.
