Consultancy Advice
There may be times when you require additional advice or services outside of the normal administrative procedures. For example, you may wish to review your future retirement and the method of drawing your pension or discuss your investment strategy, property purchases etc. You may also require further services such as registering your Scheme for VAT or amending the standard scheme documentation to suit your circumstances. Where not provided by your financial adviser, we will be pleased to carry out this work and to advise on all other aspects of your Scheme. Advice on your Scheme outside of the normal administrative work will be calculated on a time recorded basis.
Method of Payment
The establishment fee should be settled from your Scheme bank account as soon as the first contribution or transfer payment has been received. Thereafter, fees will be billed to your Scheme half yearly in arrears, and deducted from your Scheme bank account.
