Fair Value
Vision Investment Portal (VIP) negotiates discounts from the standard fee payable with panel members for advice provided by Vision Independent Financial Planning Ltd (Vision) advisers.
The discount applies to the normal fee providers would apply to Vision clients without VIP involvement.
VIP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Vision IFPL.
Pricing
VIP pricing is tiered, so the percentage amount paid reduces with increases in investment amounts.
If VIP services are cancelled fees will cease from the date of termination. There are no cancellation fees, and the provider fee will revert to the standard Vision tariff for Vision clients not taking advantage of the VIP service.
Example (all figures plus VAT):
DFM standard Vision fee 1.00% (Annual Management Charge).
£250,000 investment - Annual Management Charge £2,500.
With VIP involvement:
DFM charge 0.7% (Annual Management Charge) = £1,750
VIP fee 0.3% = £750
Total fee paid £2,500.
