Can I please ask what the '1.7' refers to? Is it % of the amount you invest initially? Or an ongoing basis? If you can help us better understand we will be happy to help you.

Question by Melanie

How much should I be paying for financial advice on my investments? 1.7 seems very high.

Hi Melanie

Can I please ask what the '1.7' refers to?

Is it % of the amount you invest initially? Or an ongoing basis? Or is not a percentage at all?

If you can help us better understand what you're trying to work out, I or someone else who picks up your question will be happy to help you with whether it's good value or not.

All the best

Jamie

Holly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs. Boring Money Ltd is a limited company registered in England and Wales under registration number 09459832 and we have our registered office at 10 Lower Thames Street, London, England, EC3R 6AF.
