Adviser Remuneration

Advisers are able to receive fees on the investments made by their clients into the structures outlined in this presentation

Flexibility to:

  • Include tax advantaged investments within the overall advice & FP piece
  • Charge a separate implementation fee/adviser charge via the product

The Adviser Charge that can be charged via the product and product provider is usually capped at a maximum of 4.5% of the subscription amount but the typical adviser range is between 2-3%.

VCT

Can facilitate an adviser charge whereby income tax relief is available on the total amount subscribed by an investor. By using a pricing formula the provider can determine the share price to allow for the adviser charge. An investor will receive less shares but 100% of investment will receive tax relief.

(S)EIS

Adviser Charges can either be paid directly by the investor to the adviser or it can be facilitated by the provider out of the investor’s subscription (this will be deducted directly from subscriptions which will, therefore, reduce the amount of tax reliefs an Investor can claim on their investment).

Product fees:

Specific product fees will apply (dependent on the product) which would be in addition to any adviser fees charged. These could reduce effective investment amounts and the overall tax reliefs available.

Our Unified Goal: Client Success

Our ultimate goal is simple: to positively contribute to the service, success and satisfaction of the underlying client.
By working closely with financial advisers and leveraging our expertise in alternative investments, we contribute to a comprehensive approach to wealth management. This collaboration ensures that clients receive exceptional service and achieve the desired outcomes by accessing the guidance of experts in their respective fields. Through this integrated approach, Titan Alternatives stands as a partner in building resilient, well-diversified portfolios that align with the broader goals of wealth management.
