Updated September 18, 2026. Quick answer: Brighton Jones discloses a maximum, individually negotiated rate of 1.25% in its Brighton Jones, LLC Form ADV Part 2A, Firm Brochure (March 31, 2026). Converted to dollars, that runs $10,000 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 Brighton Jones, LLC Form ADV Part 2A, Firm Brochure (March 31, 2026): “Brighton Jones’ annual fee for PCFO services generally ranges between 0.35% and 1.25% of total assets benefiting from Brighton Jones’ financial planning and consulting and/or discretionary investment management services. This generally will apply to a client’s entire investable net worth, except those assets that have been specifically designated as Excluded Assets. Brighton Jones generally imposes a minimum annual fee of $10,000.”
The published maximum: 1.25% per year.
What you would pay
| Account balance | Annual fee (dollars) | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $10,000 | 4.00% |
| $500,000 | $10,000 | 2.00% |
| $1,000,000 | $12,500 | 1.25% |
| $2,000,000 | $25,000 | 1.25% |
Brighton Jones discloses a negotiated range (0.35%-1.25%) rather than a single rate, so 1.25% is used as the defensible ceiling. dollar_at = max(balance x 0.0125, 10000): at $250,000 (0.0125 x 250,000 = $3,125) and $500,000 (0.0125 x 500,000 = $6,250) the $10,000 disclosed minimum annual fee controls; at $1,000,000 (0.0125 x 1,000,000 = $12,500) and $2,000,000 (0.0125 x 2,000,000 = $25,000) the percentage exceeds the minimum and applies directly.
