Commission and charging options
With our bespoke commission and charging structure, we start with a base annual management charge (AMC) that assumes no commission is paid. This means you can offer the product to your clients on a fee basis. If you prefer, you can build a bespoke charging structure around the agreed commission levels using:
- a five-year establishment charge (EC)
- a one-year financial adviser charge (FAC)
- an additional AMC
- a combination of a FAC and additional AMC
The table below gives you an 'at a glance' guide to some of the commission options available for regular and single contributions.
