Overall positive except for the annual fee.
Overall, my experience with KTS Pooled Trust has been positive. While I cannot speak to other service providers, I have had very few issues with how KTS handles my assets. Whenever a concern does arise, their team is incredibly prompt, providing clear explanations and effective solutions. Their customer service has been first-rate throughout my time with them. My only critique is the fee structure; they charge an annual fee on top of the standard monthly service fee, which I find unusual compared to industry norms. If you are already satisfied with a pooled trust that does not charge these additional fees, I would suggest staying where you are. However, if you are struggling with poor customer service elsewhere, KTS has a proven track record of being responsive and reliable.

Thomas, thank you for the thoughtful review. We especially appreciate your point that anyone struggling with poor customer service at another pooled trust should consider KTS Pooled Trust. That proven track record of being responsive and reliable is exactly what we've built our reputation on, and it's why so many families switch to us from other New York pooled trust organizations. Prompt answers, clear explanations, and effective solutions are the standard here. We do want to correct the point about our fee structure, because it's important for anyone researching pooled income trusts in New York. Charging an annual fee in addition to a monthly administrative fee is not unusual. It is the standard fee structure across the pooled trust industry in New York. Most New York pooled trust organizations charge three fees: a one time enrollment fee, a monthly administrative fee, and an annual accounting or renewal fee. KTS Pooled Trust follows this same standard structure, and our fees are on the lower end of the industry range. For clarity, here is how KTS Pooled Trust pricing compares to other New York pooled income trusts: our annual renewal fee is $100, while annual fees at other trusts range up to $200 or more. Our monthly administrative fee caps at a $200 maximum, while other New York pooled trusts charge higher percentages with monthly maximums that run as high as $350. Our full fee structure is published openly on our website, ktstrust.org, along with a fee calculator, so anyone comparing pooled trust costs in New York can see exactly what they would pay with no hidden fees. We appreciate you being a member and are always happy to review your specific fees with you directly. Thank you for trusting KTS Pooled Trust.
