TRANSPARENCY IN FEES

You have the right to know what you are paying for and why. 

Of course, a large portion of the time dedicated to preparing for our meetings and monitoring your portfolio strategies is completed behind the scenes. For example, a 60-minute meeting oftentimes requires research, illustration or paperwork, and strategy reviews - all before we get to connect with you. If you ever have questions about a fee structure, simply ask and we are happy to discuss further to ensure you are comfortable and understand the process.

Your Future

As an independent firm, we are proud to offer flexibility in the style of relationship and money management strategies we work with our clients on.
For clients who desire a comprehensive financial advisory relationship, which includes a retirement income analysis each year, we charge a flat annual fee ranging from $1,000-2,500 based on complexity of their situation. For clients who have specific investment-related concerns, but do not desire a comprehensive plan, we charge a fee based on the assets we manage for them ranging from 0.85-1.5%.

It is our sincere goal to present reasonable fees without sacrificing quality service and care.

It is fairly common for households to have a portfolio comprised of fee-based and commission-based accounts. With that said, we offer complimentary initial consultations to all prospective clients. This allows us to decide together if Sunrise is the best fit and which fee structure would be best for you. 

For additional questions regarding fees or compensation, please contact us directly by emailing . You may also send a text message during regular business hours (M-F, 9 AM - 5 PM Eastern Time) to (407) 759-7991, our live SMS general support line. Standard carrier rates apply.


Additional compensation may apply in the form of commissions for purchase of individual stocks, bonds and through service fees (12b-1) for mutual fund transactions. Fees, charges and expenses are detailed in the Cetera Advisors LLC's ADV Part 2A.
