The TFP approach to fees...
What you get:
Transparent pricing in pounds and pence
Fixed initial project fee for WealthGPS
No separate implementation fee
Fixed ongoing fee based on your situation and service required
Low cost evidenced based investment portfolio and platform fees
We will never:
Charge hidden fees
Base our relationship and your fee on the amount of money you have
Charge a % of your assets to transfer your money and implement your plan
Charge a % of your assets every year based on the value of your investments
Charge unnecessary high fees based on speculation and crystal ball gazing
How fixed fees will benefit you, a case study...
