Frequently Asked Questions

We've put together a list of the most common questions that we get asked - if you would like to know anything that isn't listed below, please get in touch.

How much do our services cost?

There is no fee for the initial meeting during which we discuss your financial needs and objectives, as well as the areas in which you require our advice. From that point, depending on what you require us to do for you, there are two charges for our advice: initial and ongoing fee.

​

This means that clients will be charged an initial fee, which is typically a percentage of the amount being invested. An ongoing fee is then charged annually, typically at a rate of 0.8% of the fund being invested and is paid monthly. Our ongoing fee is lower than our competitors who usually charge 1% annually.

​

During your initial meeting with an adviser, the fees will be explained in more detail. Usually the initial fee covers the work that has been completed by your adviser, such as factfinding and preparing initial reports outlining your options and summarising what you have. The ongoing fee covers the regular reviews and our ongoing advice, as well as the management of your investments.

​

Before we proceed with any recommendations that will require you to pay us a fee, we will detail the fee due, as accurately as we can. We can provide a more detailed fees guide, which includes examples of how much you are likely to be charged based on the size of your fund on request.

​

We don't believe that there is a 'one size fits all' scenario and therefore we offer three variations of client service propositions. They are Prime, Premier and Platinum. Depending on the size of the fund being invested, clients will be given a different version to suit their individual needs.
