Advice Services & Fees.
Our fee structure is designed to offer loyal clients a reward for growing their wealth through us.
We think it is important to offer clients simple, fair and transparent fees. We aim to ensure value from a well-resourced advice service that aligns our mutual interests.
Our initial client meeting is offered at no cost or obligation. We will meet those costs as we are yet to understand and agree how best we can work together. We are only remunerated if we act on your instruction and behalf.
Advice & Establishment Fees
Our advice and establishment fee is an initial one-off fee based on the capital sum invested or the monthly contribution made into a plan we have recommended and set up. This fee starts at 2% but reduces to 0.25% depending upon the size of this and of past investment. The tiers of funds invested are listed below.
