Updated September 28, 2026. Quick answer: Fiducient Advisors discloses a maximum, individually negotiated rate of 1.0% in its Form ADV Part 2A (March 27, 2026). Converted to dollars, that runs $5,000 a year on a $500,000 account; see the full table below for $250,000, $1 million and $2 million.
The published numbers
From the Form ADV Part 2A (March 27, 2026): “Discretionary Asset based fees for assets we advise typically range up to .30% for institutional clients and up to 1.0% for Wealth Management”
Note: CRD 106720 is ACTIVE and SEC registered per a live IAPD lookup performed this session (isSECRegistered: Y, iaScope: ACTIVE). Fiducient Advisors’ own brochure states it had approximately $52,462,188,996 of regulatory assets under management as of December 31, 2025, confirmed directly against the fetched brochure text. Fiducient discloses no standardized fee schedule and negotiates fees client by client; no minimum fee is disclosed for its Wealth Office private client line, and discretionary fees for that line are stated only as a ceiling, up to 1.0% of assets.
The published maximum: 1.0% per year.
What you would pay
| Account balance | Annual fee (dollars) | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $2,500 | 1.00% |
| $500,000 | $5,000 | 1.00% |
| $1,000,000 | $10,000 | 1.00% |
| $2,000,000 | $20,000 | 1.00% |
Fiducient’s brochure explicitly disclaims a standardized fee schedule and prices services individually, but it does disclose a firm wide ceiling for its Wealth Office discretionary asset based fees of up to one percent per year, the figure a Wealth Office individual client would be priced against at most. That one percent ceiling is applied uniformly to each balance shown, with no minimum fee available to apply as a floor.
How this compares
Our benchmark of published adviser fee schedules puts the weighted median annual cost near $2,000 to $2,500 on $250,000 (the benchmark). At $500,000, Fiducient Advisors’s own published maximum rate runs up to $5,000 a year.
