Updated September 28, 2026. Quick answer: Wealth Strategies Group is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser (CRD #326407, listed as ACTIVE in the SEC’s IAPD firm summary, checked October 25, 2026). Per its own current fee brochure, a $500,000 account would run up to $7,500 a year (the published maximum, which the firm says is negotiable) under its published fee schedule. Already a client and thinking about leaving? Budget $50 if Schwab custodies your account. This review covers what its own fee brochure and current SEC registration confirm today; it does not assess fiduciary status, and the account minimum shown is as its brochure states it.

What Wealth Strategies Group’s own fee schedule charges
The registrant on file is Travis Allen Inc., doing business as Wealth Strategies Group, based in Newport Beach, California, and it is the active registration listed in the IAPD firm summary. The priced figure is the stated fee limit for portfolio management accounts, which serve individuals and high net worth individuals among other clients.
“Client fees are negotiated on a per client basis; however, the maximum annualized client fee will not exceed 1.5%.”
Each balance is priced at the stated 1.5% annual maximum applied to the whole account value. The brochure publishes no schedule of breakpoints, says fees are negotiated client by client, and collects them monthly in arrears. It says the firm generally does not require a minimum initial investment and discloses no minimum annual fee, so no floor applies. These are ceiling figures, not typical charges, and the actual rate is set in each client’s advisory agreement.
The table below applies the firm’s stated 1.5% maximum to each balance. Fund expenses, custodian charges and any third-party manager or platform fees are generally separate from an advisory fee like this one; Item 5 of the brochure lists what applies to a given account.
| Account balance | Annual fee |
|---|---|
| $250,000 | $3,750 |
| $500,000 | $7,500 |
| $1,000,000 | $15,000 |
| $2,000,000 | $30,000 |

Registration
Travis Allen Inc. dba Wealth Strategies Group is registered with the SEC as an investment adviser (CRD #326407, listed as ACTIVE in the SEC’s IAPD firm summary, checked October 25, 2026).
This is a registration confirmation only, not a fiduciary-standard verdict (a registered investment adviser can still be a dual registrant with a broker-dealer, which changes which standard applies in each capacity).
What it costs to leave
Travis Allen Inc. dba Wealth Strategies Group’s Form ADV Part 2A states “We will return any unearned advisory fees within 30 days of our receipt of a termination notice.” Travis Allen Inc. dba Wealth Strategies Group names two possible custodians in its brochure, with no single default. Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.’s own published fee schedule states “Full transfer (out) of assets $50 per account”. Interactive Brokers discloses no comparable line item (an honest gap).
The general mechanics of switching financial advisors and a dated termination letter apply regardless of firm.

Methodology. This page was built September 28, 2026, drawing directly on Wealth Strategies Group’s own current fee brochure, cited in Sources below, and a fresh SEC IAPD registration check run the same day. Where exit-fee facts are cited, they trace to the named custodian’s own published schedule. Any fact we could not independently confirm is named as an honest gap rather than presented as verified. Nothing here is personalized financial, tax, legal, or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for reading Wealth Strategies Group’s own Form ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. We have not used Wealth Strategies Group as a client. Wealth Strategies Group did not pay for, review, or influence this content.
