Our approach to fees & charges
Everyone’s different, which is why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all approach to our service, fees and charges. We put together the right service for you at the right price, and promise that by being clear and transparent throughout there won’t be any surprises.
At Evelyn Partners we stand out with our ‘multi-expert’ approach
Most of our competitors either assign you to a financial planner or an investment manager, but we have the expertise to offer you both.
This means you’ll receive a comprehensive, co-ordinated approach across your wealth with advice on every aspect delivered by an expert in their field not a generalist.
Across every aspect of your finances you are advised by an expert in their field, not a generalist. We offer this service as we believe it delivers better client outcomes.
This is how we find the right service for you
We go through the same process with all our clients before they join Evelyn Partners:
1. We assign you your own investment manager or financial planner
This helps us get to know you so that we can properly assess what you need and how we can help.
2. We assess your options
Which services do you need? What meets your requirements? We sit down with you to understand your priorities, shortfalls and options to improve so we can create a plan that aims to achieve your goals.
3. We build the service that matches your ambitions
With the options we have built together, you decide whether it provides you with what you need and is the right price.
4. We review it regularly
We offer one-off, periodic or ongoing evaluations to make sure our services remain suitable for you and are priced accordingly. Sometimes this means prices can go up or down.
The benefits of our approach
Our wide range of services allow us to recommend something to meet your requirements. In some cases, our services may not be suitable for your needs and it might be more appropriate for you to work with our online service, Bestinvest.

How our tiered fee structures work
