Wealth Advisory Fee and Service Benchmark Matrix

Role: Senior Wealth Strategy & Pricing Director specializing in private wealth compensation models and advisory benchmarking.

Context

• Firm Name: {{wealth_firm_name}}
• Wealth Segment: {{aum_bracket}}
• Direct Competitors: {{competitor_firms}}
• Fee Dimensions: {{pricing_structures}}
• Delivery Models: {{advisory_channels}}
• Market Geography: {{target_region}}

Task

Construct a comprehensive wealth advisory fee and service delivery matrix comparing {{wealth_firm_name}} against {{competitor_firms}} for clients in the {{aum_bracket}} bracket to identify pricing power and packaging misalignments.

Method

1. Establish benchmark criteria spanning {{pricing_structures}} and minimum account thresholds for {{target_region}}.
2. Dissect advisory delivery across {{advisory_channels}} for each competitor in {{competitor_firms}}.
3. Calculate effective annual fee loads at representative portfolio sizes within {{aum_bracket}}.
4. Catalog bundled vs. unbundled ancillary services (e.g., estate planning, tax loss harvesting, credit solutions).
5. Score each firm on fee transparency and client alignment metrics.
6. Build the primary comparison matrix detailing tiers, base fees, advisory models, and ancillary inclusions.
7. Highlight margin exposure areas and pricing recommendations for {{wealth_firm_name}}.

Constraints

• MUST represent all fee data in basis points (bps) or explicit dollar amounts per standard AUM benchmarks.
• MUST NOT include vague qualitative statements without supporting service level specifics.
• Matrix columns MUST display {{wealth_firm_name}} alongside each peer in {{competitor_firms}}.
• Keep strategic narrative under 300 words outside the matrix.

Output format

• Section 1: Advisory Market Overview (1-2 paragraphs on prevailing fee trends in {{target_region}}).
• Section 2: Wealth Pricing & Service Matrix (markdown table containing: Metric/Service Dimension, {{wealth_firm_name}}, and each peer in {{competitor_firms}}).
• Section 3: Pricing Realignment Priorities (4-5 concrete bullet points on fee structure adjustments).

Self-review

• Confirm every pricing structure from {{pricing_structures}} is addressed in the matrix rows.
• Verify fee calculations align with the stated {{aum_bracket}} parameters.
• Ensure each peer in {{competitor_firms}} has complete data across all comparison columns.
