Cost vs Value

Is Financial Advice Worth the Cost?

It depends on your needs and the support you receive. Understand the three types of charges that could apply.

Initial Advice

A fee for reviewing your finances and making recommendations. Ask what’s included and whether putting the advice into action costs extra.

Ongoing Advice

A fee may apply for regular reviews and support. Ask whether it’s optional, what you receive and how to stop the service.

Product & Platform Fees

Pensions, investments and platforms may charge separately. Ask for a breakdown of the total cost, including advice fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anything and everything you need to know

Is the guide really free?

If you are debt-free, would like to save towards a long-term or mid-term financial goal, and are already using your personal allowance, then a stocks and shares ISA is definitely a good idea.

Do I have to book a call?

No. Everything on this page is free to read and use. Booking a call is optional and only worth doing if you would like to talk your situation through with an adviser.

What happens during the discovery call?

You share your situation and the questions you have, and the adviser explains how they could help, what the service includes and what it would cost.

Will I receive financial advice during the call?

The first call is an introduction rather than advice. If you decide to go ahead, the adviser will agree the scope and fees with you before giving any recommendations.
