I have an investor who wants to turn his life story into a feature film. He has no official biography or documentary about his life. He’s willing to put me on a retainer and pay expenses to get to the point where we can attach a writer. What should I charge and how should I structure my retainer?

I’m no lawyer or business affairs professional but does this investor have deep pockets? Is the writer you’re going to find in the WGA? I assume you will need to hire a writer and researcher early on since there isn’t much material to work off of. Look up how much scale is at the WGA + your fee + how much time you think it will take to get a treatment or first draft. IMO it would be fair to structure your retainer on a milestone basis.
