Fees
• We believe investment management costs should take into account a client’s aims and
objectives and a transparent fee quote will therefore be discussed and agreed. The fee will be
all inclusive and transparent, with no hidden charges.
• If requested, we are confident enough to work on performance-related fees where appropriate.
• When investing in funds on behalf of clients we never take a front end charge and only ever
invest into the lowest cost institutional share classes where available.
