Investment Advice
At Blue Square, we keep our fees simple, clear and fair. We want you to understand exactly what you’re paying for and to feel confident that our service offers real value.
We charge in two ways: an implementation fee when we set up new investments, and an ongoing service fee to look after your plan and investments over time.
Implementation Fee
When we set up new investments, we charge an implementation fee based on the amount you invest and the overall value we look after for you.
For putting your investments in place:
Up to £500,000: 1.00% (min £1,000)
£500,000–£1,000,000: 0.75%
Over £1,000,000: 0.50% (max £10,000)
If your portfolio size means a different fee applies, we’ll explain this clearly and agree it with you before any work begins.
Ongoing Advice Charges
A financial plan isn’t something you set and forget, it needs care, attention and regular monitoring so it continues to support what matters most to you.
For ongoing planning, monitoring and investment management:
Up to £500,000: 0.75% per year
£500,000–£1,000,000: 0.60% per year
Over £1,000,000: 0.50% per year
If your circumstances mean a different fee is more appropriate, we’ll discuss it openly and confirm everything in writing so you’re always fully informed.
