Our platform
Charges – competitive, transparent pricing
Our aim is to offer fair, sustainable and transparent pricing. At Nucleus there are no hidden surprises and no hidden charges. What you see is what you get. We offer a simple, tiered pricing structure, which means you can offer excellent value for money to clients whatever the size of their portfolio.
By consolidating products currently held across multiple providers, clients can enjoy lower overall costs. Family accounts can also be linked to further minimise fees paid between a husband and wife or civil partnerships.
We don’t charge fees for set up, drawdown, switching or administration. The only additional charges are for onshore and offshore bonds and equity dealing through our trusted partners. This transparent and simple approach means you can be clear about how your client could be charged over the lifetime of their portfolio.
Our approach to cash interest
Our active management of client cash means we can credit clients with a competitive rate of interest. We retain some of what’s earned so we can keep our charges low, as well as invest in our technology, propositions and in providing higher service levels. Our aim is to deliver excellent financial outcomes for your clients, and ultimately help make their retirement more rewarding.
It’s as fully transparent as you’d expect and you can find more detail in the table on the right.
Several alternatives are available to clients, so that they can obtain investment style returns on their spare cash, in some instances by locking into longer-term cash products. These include Bondsmith (offering a range of term deposits at several banks), money market funds, lower risk rate model portfolios, and/or gilts and bonds through a stockbroker.
We deposit platform cash with a carefully selected panel of banks. We’ll only use banks which are authorised by the Prudential Regulation Authority, regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and Prudential Regulation Authority, and are covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).
