There are two options:
| Fee payment option | Investment type / Service | Fee amount |
| 1. A percentage of the investment or transfer amount | Investing or transferring a sum of money |
|
|
2. An agreed fixed fee |
In some circumstances it will be appropriate to charge a fixed fee for our advice and the work involved to prepare a recommendation or review report |
|
For new clients, these fees are subject to the overall recommendation meeting the minimum advice fee of £750. There is no minimum for existing clients where the investment is set up on our wealth planning and review service.
* This fee depends on the complexity of the work involved, typically relating to activity which is not intended to result in the implementation of a product solution.
Any recommendations that involve the transfer of a defined benefit pension will be subject to a minimum charge of £4,000, the first £1,000 of which is payable upfront regardless of whether a transfer proceeds.
Our initial fees under fee payment option 1 are on a stepped basis where the investment is set up on our wealth planning and review service. The starting point of the stepped rate will take account of capital invested to date through Quilter Private Client Advisers, by you and all of your family members. A family member includes a person’s spouse, parents, children, grandparents and grandchildren, whether connected by birth, adoption, guardianship, marriage, civil partnership or cohabitation.
