Why it costs money to invest
Just like all other businesses, any firm that manages peoples’ money has expenses and overheads. And as strange as it sounds, looking after money, costs money! So, the person whose money it is, has to pay (in the form of fees and charges) for the services he or she receives. Usually, the charges are deducted directly from the money the firm is managing or holding on the client’s behalf, but not always.
What you get for your money
Our systems watch over your investment for as long as you invest with us. So, if it ever looks like your investment is not on track to meet your goal, we’ll let you know by sending you an email notification. But we don’t stop there. We’ll advise you what your options are to help get your pot back on track. That might involve changing your investment time frame, making a one-off payment, increasing your monthly contributions, or a combination of all three. If you accept our advice, we’ll make the changes for you without delay. And then we’ll pick up where we left off and continue checking your investment’s progress, day in, day out. In other words, by keeping on top of your investment, we help keep it on track for you. As far as we can tell, no other comparable investment provider will do that for you.
