Let's look at the costs and charges for expert financial advice.
When you work with our FCA-regulated financial advisers, you’re tapping into real expertise which has the potential to improve your life for the better. Reframing how you think about charges can help justify the value of advice – for example, it could save you money in tax, or make your savings and investments work harder.
Band | Initial advice charge rate |
|---|---|
£0 – £50,000 | 3% |
£50,000.01 – £100,000 | 2.5% |
£100,000.01 – £250,000 | 2% |
£250,000.01 – £500,000 | 1.5% |
£500,000.01 + | 1% |
A) For the first £50,000 – a 3% advice rate, which is £1,500.
B) For the next £50,000 – a 2.5% advice rate, which is £1,250.
C) For the next £150,000 – a 2% advice rate, which is £3,000.
D) For the remaining £50,000 – a 1.5% advice rate, which is £750.
The rate would be deducted from the amount you’re already comfortable choosing to invest.
