FAQs

Who is this service not for?
This service is not for investors who want a managed portfolio, or want to use funds and solutions that are promoted by their chosen DIY platform.

What are the benchmarks for each model portfolios?
The benchmark for each model portfolios is the respective index from the MSCI PIMFA Private Investor Indices

  • For investors with more than £12,000 to invest, the £9.99 per month fee to help you to track a benchmark works out cheaper than paying a manager a 1% management fee for the hope (or disappointment) of trying to beat the very same benchmark.
  • For investors with £120,000 to invest, our model portfolio service costs the equivalent of 0.10%
  • For investors with £1.2m to invest, the our model portfolio service costs the equivalent of 0.01%

Other costs to consider
As with any portfolio you manage, your chosen DIY platform will charge for dealing and custody charges, whilst the realised performance of your portfolio is net of underlying product costs of the ETFs you select.  Your chosen DIY platform is responsible for informing you of these costs.

​
​Will your portfolio's performance be identical to the model portfolio's performance?
No.  Reasons for difference in performance will be a function of 1) whether or not you select the same ETFs that are in the model portfolio; 2) whether or ?not your rebalance your portfolio in line with the model on a timely basis; 3) the dealing and custody costs of your chosen DIY platform.  The closer you track the model, the more similar the performance.
