Life as a fund firm is never easy, but it recently got harder.

MFWire has confirmed with a number of fund industry sources that Wells Fargo now requires fund firms to pay a minimum of $250,000 in fees for access to the company's fund platform.

The minimum, sort of like a fund firm co-pay for being on the platform, would be the very least a fund firm would pay to do business on the platform.

This isn't the first time a platform has made life hard for fund firms. Morgan Stanley apparently unveiled the same $250,000 minimum a year ago and TD Ameritrade raised its fees recently as well.
