Our advice fees
At an initial complimentary consultation, we listen to your needs and explain how our advice service could help you. Your adviser will discuss any fees with you before we give any advice or financial planning.
As no two clients' requirements are the same, our fees vary depending on the scope of work and the type of relationship you are looking for. We will normally charge between 1-2% of the amount to be invested for our initial review, professional advice and any associated implementation work. For clients who seek peace of mind through an ongoing relationship with us, our annual professional advice and service fee is typically 0.5-1%.
Our investment fees vary depending on the type of investment you require and our platform fee for custody and administration starts at 0.25% and reduces in tiers to 0% depending on the amount you and your family invest.
We provide an holistic financial advice service to individuals. Our investment process is unbiased, multi-asset, actively managed and diversified across regions and sectors. Because we primarily promote our own investment products, we are classed as providing restricted advice.
