Don’t Let Inflation Raise Your
Pooled Trust Fees.
Inflation is everywhere and causing havoc to many household budgets. Everything is going up including gas, groceries, and utilities, which are just a few examples of the rising costs of living. Unfortunately, even some trust organizations have increased their pooled trust fees, seemingly in line with other types of increases.
Fortunately for our existing and new clients, KTS Pooled Trust will not be raising our fees at this time. If you are considering switching from your current pooled trust, we’ll even waive our enrollment fee when you switch to KTS. We will also help you through the transition by assisting you in filling out the KTS application, etc.
How KTS Pooled Trust is holding the line on inflation.
While others are increasing their pooled trust fees, KTS Pooled Trust is putting its members’ needs first during this time of rising costs. This has always been our goal and we will continue to provide the best in customer care at reasonable fees. Here’s what you can expect:
- Our fees are lower. KTS Pooled Trusts fees are already lower than many of our competitors. Our fee structure is less complicated and straightforward, while other trusts are higher and incorporate a more complex system and less transparent fee structure. These higher competitors’ fees typically include monthly fees, fees for the amount held in the trust, and annual fees based on certain percentages.
- Competitors are raising their fees. Many of our competitors are raising their fees, which have already been shown to be higher than KTS. For example, many of our competitors have increased their monthly fees 2% more than KTS fees and have raised their minimum administration fees and maximum fees. Some trusts are even increasing pooled trust fees for their current clients as well as new members. At this time, KTS has no intention of raising fees or changing the minimum and maximum fees for our members.

And in case you haven’t heard…Social Security is also counteracting the effects of inflation.
Social Security Benefits
There is some good news if you are receiving Social Security as 70+ million Social Security beneficiaries will begin to receive a historic increase in benefits for 2023 due to a Cost of Living Adjustment. This welcome bit of relief for those on a fixed income is a result of the Social Security Administration’s adjustment to counteract the effects of inflation on these monthly checks.
Social Security Allowable Income Limits
On another positive note, the Social Security allowable income limits are also going up for those who are still working while claiming retirement benefits. These income limits represent the amount of money Social Security recipients can earn over the determined limit without having any benefits withheld from Social Security payments. The formula for what is withheld is $1 for each $2 that is earned over the limit. The amount you can earn (before full retirement) and not have benefits withheld is now raised to $1,770 per month for 2023, up from $1,630 monthly (2022).
Going into full retirement in 2023 will increase your allowable income limit even further with $1 being withheld out of each $3 earned over this limit each month, which is $4,710 monthly in 2023 each month until you are at full retirement age. This is up from $4,330 per month in 2022. And once you reach your full retirement age in 2023, there are no limits on what you can earn.
