Costs and charges summary

As a firm, we understand the need for greater transparency of costs and charges to allow investors to undertake a value assessment, which will drive competitive pressure, leading to increased efficiency and improved competitiveness of the market.

We recognise that with various disclosure obligations on cost transparency (both under UK and European regulations), it is important for investors to have full visibility of costs and charges within the product that they have chosen to invest in.
