Annual Management charges for ARIA’s DFM service are 1% per annum, but ARIA state that this depends on “service line chosen”, so it could be higher.
Additional charges may apply where they are requested to pay your financial adviser for their work in reviewing the portfolio’s performance and providing an independent review of “how we are doing” for example.
The underlying funds within the portfolio will also levy fees, a portion of which will be paid to ARIA. These fees will be around 1.5%.
Dealing charges arise each time an investment is bought or sold. In minimising these, ARIA cap them at 1% or £50, whichever is lower.
All in, you can expect to be paying between 2.5% and 3.5% per annum, and possibly more.
