Fair and transparent charges

We want to make it easier for everyone to take the path to financial security, and the key to this is fair and transparent costs.

With this in mind, we’ve set out exactly what our charges are here, and if you have any questions please do get in touch.

Three ways forward.

We offer three overall approaches – Wealth Builder, Wealth Management and Wealth Advisory.

Wealth Builder

is for those who don’t require complex advice, like tax planning or financial forecasting.

Wealth Management

is for those who require help across a wider and more complex range of eventualities.

Wealth Advisory

is a service for those who want even more freedom over their investment choices, but who also require ongoing advice.

Fees & charges explained.

Initial fee

As the name suggests, this covers the initial advice and setting up of your plan – including the analysis, transfer and reallocation of existing assets. What we charge depends on the amount of those assets.

Value of assets	Initial fee
Up to £250,000	2%
£250,000 to £1,000,000	1%
More than £1,000,000	0.5%

Example:

You invest £1.25m with us.  The initial fee would be £250,000 at 2% (£5,000), £750,000 at 1% (£7,500), and £250,000 at 0.5% (£1,250). £5,000 + £7,500 + £1,250 equals a total of £13,750.

We will not charge you more than £20,000 for any piece of individual advice. The cap applies for each piece of initial advice.

Ongoing fees

These cover the continuing advice and adjustments as we move forward with the plan – and what we charge is below the UK average.

They’re made up of a Financial Planning Fee (FPF) for your adviser, an Ongoing Charges Fee (OCF) for managing your investment, and a Platform Fee for the platform you use to monitor your plan.

Please note: if you transfer in further funds after your plan is first set up, this will incur a fee at the same rate as your Initial Fee.

** Based on a typical multi-asset portfolio. The actual cost will vary based upon your personal recommendations and could be higher or lower than this.

Calculated as a % of the assets you invest through Shackleton.

For Wealth Builder, our experience to date is the majority of clients invest into the VT Esprit fund range, so we’ve used this to show the indicative costs.

Financial Planning Fee (FPF):

Covers ongoing advice from your adviser – like agreeing and managing financial objectives, assessing investments, financial projections and your full annual review.

Investment Charges (OCF):

For our investment team’s management costs and charges related to the underlying investments.

The above OCF is indicative and can change depending on the underlying investment charges at any given time.

Investment Platform Fee:

This is where your funds are held and administered and where you can keep track of valuations.

Platform fees shown are based on Shackleton Hub (Hubwise) for an ISA. For those with larger portfolios it could be as low as 0.03%.

We never charge exit fees or advice fees to enter drawdown
