Our

Professional Fees

Better understand how we charge and what is involved at every stage of the financial planning process.

Our professional fees

You can’t overestimate the value of financial planning in helping you achieve your goals and ambitions. We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront, so we are happy to disclose our fees online.

Before commencing any aspect of our work, we need to agree with you on the services you would like us to deliver and how you will pay for them. You’ll never be faced with surprises, as everything will be explained in jargon-free English at the early stages of our journey together.

Initial consultation

Fee: At our expense

This initial meeting is where we will introduce ourselves and get to know each other better. At this stage, we will agree on your priorities and the appropriate fees before commencing any work.

Understanding and analysis

Fee: £1,250

Includes:

  • Identifying your goals and objectives
  • Gathering personal and financial information
  • Assessing your goals and objectives
  • Reviewing any existing plans
  • Researching suitable products or services.

Advice and implementation

Lump sum fee: 3% for the first £250,000 and 1% thereafter.

Regular premium fee: An amount equal to 25% of the first 12 months’ contributions

Includes:

  • Devising an investment strategy
  • Selecting an investment provider, if applicable
  • Completing any relevant documentation
  • Processing and monitoring your applications.

Example 1: Lump sum

If you invested £100,000 and the agreed charges were 3%, this means £3,000 excluding VAT would be immediately deducted from your investment or paid to us directly.

Example 2: Regular premium

If you invested £100 a month and the agreed charge was 25% of the first 12 months’ contributions, the total charge would be £300.

Ongoing service

We can provide you with optional ongoing support, where we continually review your arrangements to ensure they continue to match your goals and objectives. We charge you a percentage of your investments based on the level of service you’ve chosen.

Standard service

0.65% of the funds under management

This service is ideal if you are looking for high-quality specialist advice in a particular area, with no ongoing advice. 

Includes:

  • Financial planning report or summary
  • Access to your adviser to discuss further areas of your financial planning
  • Full access to staff
  • Regular client newsletter
  • Unlimited telephone support
  • Client record keeping and file maintenance.

For example: If you invest £100,000 and the agreed ongoing service charge is 0.65%, you will pay £650 per annum excluding VAT. This may increase as the fund grows.

Premier service

1% of the funds under management

This service is ideal if you are looking for a holistic approach to financial planning and require regular feedback and ongoing reviews. 

Includes:

  • Annual review to discuss goals, changes in circumstances, market updates, cashflow planning and any impacts on your plan
  • Financial planning report or summary
  • Access to your adviser to discuss further areas of your financial planning
  • Full access to staff

The importance
of planning

  • A financial plan keeps you focused on what matters most to you and encourages you to work towards a set of life goals
