Financial advice fees

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.

What could this look like for me?

Say you invested that £300,000 lump sum following advice. You’d be investing in:
Confidence that your money will be invested to meet your financial goals. 
Reassurance that you’ve worked to plan with an expert. 

Our initial advice rate to give you this confidence and reassurance would be £6,500. That’s:

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.


The remaining £293,500 would be invested.
