How % AUM fees scale
A fixed percentage of AUM means larger balances pay more in absolute dollars each year for ongoing management. That model can make sense when someone is managing capital on your behalf and taking fiduciary responsibility for implementation.
If you already self-direct trades, paying an escalating management fee for research access alone can feel misaligned with keeping control of your capital.
How Kairos prices access
Each strategy subscription is a flat monthly fee (see Pricing). The fee covers access to that strategy’s member reports, updates, and implementation guidance—not custody or trade execution.
Your broker may still charge commissions or account fees. Kairos does not take a cut of portfolio gains.
When a flat fee fits
Flat membership fits investors who want systematic research and transparent reporting, can implement in their own brokerage, and prefer fees that do not rise automatically with account size.
It is not personalized investment advice and is not a discretionary management service. Compare options based on whether you want someone else to trade for you or tools and process you can run yourself.
