    What it does not

    Nothing this firm offers is held back at this tier. The third-party costs below still apply.

    Discuss Private

None of these is recommended over the others here. Which one fits depends on your horizon and how much loss you could absorb without changing your plans, and that is a conversation rather than a page.

The rest of the cost

A management fee is not the whole of what you pay. These are the questions worth asking any firm, including this one.

What else do you charge?
Management fees are the only fee PortfolioHub charges directly. Brokerage, exchange transaction charges, STT, GST, stamp duty, custody and, for gold, making charges are third-party costs passed through at actual and itemised on your statement. (to be confirmed)
How is the performance fee calculated?
(to be confirmed)
Can I leave?
(to be confirmed)
What happens in a bad year?
Management fees are charged on assets under management, so they fall when your portfolio falls, but they are still charged. You pay for the mandate being run, not for it producing a gain.
