Kraner, LLC primarily works with clients through a fee-based, assets under management approach. If you wish to engage us solely for financial planning, an analysis of your overall financial situation, or a consultation on a specific financial issue, then a set fee will be determined between you and the financial advisor based on the extent and intricacy of the analysis. Our advisory clients pay no commissions, trading costs, or brokerage fees. Instead, our advisory accounts feature a single annual fee. It is calculated quarterly and debited from your account in arrears, based on the beginning and ending values of all of the accounts in your household (adjusted for any money that you deposit or withdraw during the quarter). Your quarterly statement will show the management fee for the quarter, you will also receive a year-end summary. The fee is based on the value of your account. So, the more you invest, and the higher your account value grows, the lower your rate - potentially providing valuable savings to you.

An advisor holds himself to a fiduciary standard and is required to put the client’s interests ahead of the advisor’s interests in everything the advisor does. It is a legal standard to follow in any of the fee-based accounts Kraner, LLC utilizes for client assets.
