Retirable Review: the 1% Fee Capped at $10,000 a Year

Updated September 15, 2026. Quick answer: Retirable, Inc. is an SEC-registered investment adviser (CRD 307472) built around retirement-income planning. Per its own consumer brochure: “Our capped-fee structure is 1% of Assets Under Management (AUM) with a maximum annual fee of $10,000. No matter how much you invest with Retirable, you’ll never pay more than $10,000 annually.” Do the arithmetic and the cap arrives at roughly a $1,000,000 portfolio (1% × $1M = $10,000); above that, your effective rate keeps falling. Retirable’s own site states no minimum account balance.

The fee and where the cap kicks in

1% AUM is a common headline rate, but most advisors charging it don’t cap the dollar amount as assets grow. Retirable’s does: past roughly $1,000,000, you stop paying a straight 1% and start paying a shrinking effective percentage, capped in absolute dollars at $10,000/year. Below $1,000,000, the fee is a flat 1% with no cap benefit yet. Confirm the current figure directly with Retirable before enrolling, since fee schedules on any platform can change.

Who actually advises you

Retirable’s own brochure describes “access to a licensed fiduciary advisor” and says “each advisor is a licensed fiduciary specializing across all areas of retirement, including income, healthcare, and housing.” It states Retirable does not take commissions on investment products. It does not specifically claim its advisors hold the CFP® designation, and its public materials do not state whether advisors are Retirable employees or independent contractors: both left here as honest gaps rather than assumed.
