Hi
Thanks for your email. Thanks for your endorsement. We continuously get good feedback from investors.
In our performance figures we have included dividend in our ETF and unit trust comparison. This comparison we use is strictly between the satrix 40 and general equity unit trusts.
We do not receive any discount or rebate from the unit trust companies. This ensures we remain 100% independent which is essential in the independent advice we offer.
We only charge a 0.5% annual admin fee and no upfront fee. All investment charges are 100% transparent.
Regards, Nick
