  • Patent number: 7356497
    Abstract: A method including establishing a commission-free fee-based brokerage account for a client and maintaining a balance between the account's fee, its investment activity and services received, and compensation to a financial advisor of the client. Customized flat fee pricing can be calculated based on investment objectives, risk tolerances, asset mix, asset size, expected trading patterns, utilization of other firm services and the client account relationship (the existence of other accounts of that client with the firm). Systems calculate and recommend a fee to the financial advisor, who then negotiates with the client and determines a final fee. This dynamic pricing process includes a compensation adjustment to the financial advisor under certain pricing and trading scenarios.
