Our work starts
before your fees do

Our financial advisers complete a thorough process to ensure EIGHT is the right fit for you and that you receive maximum value in the advice and service we provide. The total cost of the fee you pay covers the advice you receive, the administration of your fund and the management of your investment.

Initial Investment Advice

If after your initial meeting you move forward with our financial planning, a one-off advice fee is charged based on the total money you invest. Remember, if our advice doesn’t lead to an investment, you won’t be charged.

As your investment increases, the percentage of the initial advice charge reduces, reflecting the greater efficiencies involved in managing larger investment portfolios.

Ongoing Investment Advice

If you’d like to receive ongoing advice during your financial planning journey, we charge an annual fee to manage and review your plan and investment portfolio. This is entirely optional and you are under no obligation to proceed. As an example, the total annual cost for one of our most popular funds (Polaris 3) is:

  • 1.59% (on ISA investments) 
  • 1.67% (on Pension investments)
