    The only other people I know of who charge a percentage are the estate agents. It's done to disguise the true cost. IFAs won't touch small portfolios. On a £100K portfolio that would be £1000. Investments are long term so shouldn't need messing with on a regular basis. So it will be £1000 for 10 minutes work. All to give the IFA ongoing work so he doesn't have to find more clients. That's the problem. The service is all what the IFA wants not what the client needs. £100 would be more realistic.

    I am sure some may charge that. Doesnt mean all are.

    You may want to tell the FCA and FOS that as they disagree.

    Just not possible in 10 minutes or anything near that.
