Speak to an adviserWe only charge when we make a recommendation and you agree to proceed. Our typical initial advice fee is 3.5% of your pension fund amount, capped at £3,495, whichever is lower. The fee is considered when we assess whether the recommendation is financially beneficial for you, and is normally taken from the pension rather than paid by bank transfer.
