We will quote in advance a specific annual management fee for our services having established:-

• The probable size of the portfolio in question
• The valuation schedule (quarterly, six monthly, annual)
• The level of fee-sharing with professional intermediaries
• The likely number of annual face-to-face meetings with clients and advisers
• Unusual existing investments requiring specific, in-depth research

Unlike many other investment managers, we are flexible in considering the possibility of combining accounts for charging purposes, where appropriate.

Dealing commission is generally levied at a rate of 1% on amounts of up to £10,000 with 0.6% levied on additional amounts above this. Commissions on Gilt deals are generally notably less than this. If you would like more detailed information on our charging regime please speak to us directly.

Adam & Co presently levy an administrative fee of 0.15% per annum on top of our own charges. This is capped at £2000 pa for larger portfolios.
 
We are committed to the principle of transparency and all commissions and fees paid to Border are itemised clearly in our regular portfolio reports.

Border is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). Whilst the FSA's rules do not apply overseas, Border adheres to the high standard of service levels, compliance and security enshrined within their regulations for all portfolios, whether based in the UK or elsewhere. We do not provide tax advice.

All fees are subject to VAT for UK clients
