To put these figures in context, it's useful to compare them against an appropriate benchmark. To do this, we've used the ARC Cautious Index which illustrates the average performance of our peer group across a number of risk levels. Over 50 investment services in the UK contribute to the ARC, including Barclays, UBS, Charles Stanley & Rathbones, making it a great tool for analysing how similar offerings have performed.
The average underlying fund fees for our conventional portfolios is 0.17% per annum.
All quoted performance figures are net of Wealthsimple’s standard 0.70% annual charge and the underlying fund fees.
