Our approach to fees
We appreciate that you may have concerns about how much financial advice will cost. You may even wonder if paying for financial advice is worth it. So, when it comes to charging fees, this is what we promise to deliver:
No upfront cost to you
We will always bear the cost of the initial ‘discovery meeting’. This is where we can discover your ambitions and goals in life. Once we understand these, we can build a financial plan designed to help you achieve them. It’s also your opportunity to discover more about us before deciding whether we’re the right financial advisors for you.
Clear and transparent
Just like our approach to providing financial advice, our fees are explained in terms which are completely clear and easy to understand. We are happy to work on an hourly rate, or a flat fixed fee, or on a fee calculated as a percentage of the investment/pension plan on which we are giving advice – whichever is agreeable to you.
You’re in control
We won’t undertake any chargeable work until we’ve agreed the fee with you. There are no ‘surprise’ charges hidden in amongst lots of paperwork. This way, you can decide whether and when we give advice and/or when we implement any recommendations.
Value for money
We work hard to make sure that your investments perform so that you can achieve your financial goals. However, financial advice isn’t just about managing your investments. It’s also about giving you the peace of mind and security that comes with knowing that your wealth is in safe hands.

My experience with Globe Financial (and Tom Fawcett in particular) has been nothing short of excellent. I have known Tom for over 30 years and his advice, guidance and humour has made dealing with Globe a real pleasure. I would recommend the company - and Tom in particular - to anyone.
A client since 2003
We have been a client of Globe for many years and have always found the level of service and commitment exemplary.
A client since 2007
I was introduced to Tom when I first started out in my career. As my situation and needs have changed Tom has tailored his advice, always willing to take the time to explain and meet with me face to face to discuss my needs. I have 100% trust and confidence that my interests are put first and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom or his colleagues.

Globe IFA has advised us through several major financial decisions, including home-buying, remortgaging, self-employment and planning for our family's financial security. They have always offered us sound advice, and we know we can trust them to help us make the right decisions.
