    IFA has confirmed the breakdown of :-
    IFA fees 0.75 %
    Investment expenses 0.5 %
    Platform fees 0.25 %

    At least that confirms it is not the IFA getting 1.5% as you suggested in your first post.

    However, 0.75% on a £1m fund value is high. 0.5% is far more typical. I suggest you look to negotiate that down.
    At the moment I wouldn't be comfortable going DIY, but thats not to say in the future that I would gain knowledge and confidence to have a go at DIY Is there any reason to stop me transferring to DIY in the future ?

    No.

    Now that you understand the fees try to understand how the IFA has invested your money.
