SpaceX Employee Group Secures Sub-0.5% Wealth Deal for $1 Billion-$5 Billion With Choreo
3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jun 9
Summary
More than 100 current and former SpaceX employees have set up a Choreo advisory option they can join after the company’s Nasdaq debut on Friday, pooling expected IPO wealth estimated at $1 billion to $5 billion.
Under the long-term arrangement, annual fees will be below 0.5% of assets under management, according to people familiar with the deal, undercutting the typical 0.5% to 1% charged in wealth management.
A small team from the group vetted firms and negotiated the offering after an informal philanthropy chat forum expanded into a broader push for cheaper, more efficient financial advice.
Choreo says it oversees more than $28 billion in assets and advisement across 40-plus offices, while the SpaceX deal could test whether newly wealthy employee groups can use collective scale to win better terms.
The effort also reflects how SpaceX’s IPO is creating a large new class of employee millionaires—many engineers paid partly in stock—who say lower fees could free up more money for scholarships and STEM programs.
