Updated September 28, 2026. Quick answer: Snowden Lane Partners discloses a maximum, individually negotiated rate of 3.0% in its Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1 (Wrap Fee Program Brochure) (August 18, 2026). Converted to dollars, that runs $15,000 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 Appendix 1 (Wrap Fee Program Brochure) (August 18, 2026): “For the services provided by SCA and as described in the Advisory Agreement, each account in the DWA Program will be charged an annual Wrap Fee at the rate set forth in the Discretionary Wealth Advisory Account Agreement… The maximum Wrap Fee, expressed as an annual rate, that may be charged to new clients is 3.00%. Fees at the higher end of this range are generally associated with smaller account sizes or highly customized advisory services and are subject to negotiation.”
Note: Legal entity Snowden Capital Advisors LLC; ‘Snowden Lane Partners’ is the registered DBA. Used the Wrap Fee Program Brochure (Appendix 1) rather than the softer bare-range language in the main Part 2A because it is SCA’s dedicated fee-schedule document and states an explicit, twice-repeated 3.00% ceiling for both DWA and PWA. Account minimum $100,000, below all four target balances.
The published maximum: 3.0% per year.
What you would pay
| Account balance | Annual fee (dollars) | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $7,500 | 3.00% |
| $500,000 | $15,000 | 3.00% |
| $1,000,000 | $30,000 | 3.00% |
| $2,000,000 | $60,000 | 3.00% |
Snowden Capital Advisors’ Part 2A main brochure describes its wrap and non-wrap programs only in bare ranges; its separate, dedicated Wrap Fee Program Brochure (Appendix 1) states an explicit, twice-repeated 3.00% ceiling for both of the firm’s primary account types (DWA and PWA), which is the figure priced here. No specific dollar minimum fee is stated, only that one may be set per client agreement.
