For Regular Premium Contracts An ‘adviser charge’ based on 42% of the first years regular premium amount subject to a minimum fee of £500. Example: If you contribute £200 a month into a personal pension plan, we would charge 42% of the premium payable for 12 months, which would mean a total initial ‘adviser charge’ of £1008 (£200 x 42% x 12 months = £1008). We will tell you how much the initial ‘adviser charge’ will be before you complete an investment, but you may ask for this information earlier. OR An ‘adviser charge’ based on the amount of time spent, as per the following hourly rates: Financial Adviser £125 Administration £50 Example: If the time take to advise on and/or arrange a suitable product is 5 hours of Financial Advice and 3 hours Administration, we would charge an initial ‘adviser charge’ of £775 (5 x £125 + 3 x £50 = £775) The initial charge can be either deducted from your investment or paid by cheque or BACs Payment for ongoing services There will be an additional charge for any ongoing work, such as periodic or ongoing reviews we carry out on your behalf.

Example: Type of service: Yearly reviews How much our ongoing charges might cost if based on a percentage of fund value: • Based on a fund value of £100,000, an ongoing charge of 0.5 % of this amount would mean that it would cost £500 per annum to provide an ongoing service (£100,000 x 0.5 % = £ 500). If the fund value increases over time, the ongoing charge then increases accordingly. How much our ongoing charges might cost if based on a percentage of regular contributions: • Based on a regular contributions of £250, an ongoing charge of 5% of this amount would mean that it would cost £12.50 per contribution to provide an ongoing service (£250 x 5% = £ 12.50). The frequency of the ongoing charge will depend on the service(s) you choose and can be either deducted from your investment or paid by standing order We will agree what will be charged before any service(s) provided and the amount will be confirmed within our ‘Service & Payment Agreement’.

For example, the total cost of advice is £1260. You have been recommended a regular premium product of which £250 will be paid each month. £105 will be taken from this amount to pay off your adviser charge over 12 months. The remaining £145 will be invested during this time. At the end of this period the adviser charge would have been settled in full. From month 13 the full £250 will be invested.

If the fund value increases over time, the ongoing charge then increases accordingly. How much our ongoing charges might cost if based on a percentage of regular contributions: • Based on a regular contributions of £250, an ongoing charge of 5% of this amount would mean that it would cost £12.50 per contribution to provide an ongoing service (£250 x 5% = £ 12.50).

If the fund value increases over time, the ongoing charge then increases accordingly. How much our ongoing charges might cost if based on a percentage of regular contributions: • Based on a regular contributions of £250, an ongoing charge of 5% of this amount would mean that it would cost £12.50 per contribution to provide an ongoing service (£250 x 5% = £ 12.50). The frequency of the ongoing charge will depend on the service(s) you choose and can be either deducted from your investment or paid by standing order We will agree what will be charged before any service(s) provided and the amount will be confirmed within our ‘Service & Payment Agreement’. Following on from our non-chargeable initial meeting, if you request additional services or accept any recommendations we have made then you will pay us an adviser charge which will become payable on completion of our work. You will be required to settle the payment of your adviser charge on completion of our work within 14 business days. We accept cheques or BACs payments. We do not accept payment by cash. You will be provided with a receipt upon payment. The option to pay by instalments is only available for the payment of the adviser charge on regular premium products. Payment by instalments does not relate to any ongoing charges payment, which we may charge for providing an ongoing service. If you buy a financial product, you can choose to have your adviser charge deducted from the product through instalments. Although you pay nothing to us up front, that does not mean that our service is free. You still pay us indirectly through deductions from the amount you pay into your product. These deductions will pay towards settling the adviser charge. These deductions could reduce the amount left for investment. How your payment plan works: Total monthly premium payable £250 Total cost of advice £1260 Monthly payment for advice £105 Length of repayment period 12 months Monthly payment: £105 per premium Period: 12 months 🡪 Advice £105 🡪 Invested: £145 If you choose to pay for the advice you receive through instalments, these instalments will be deducted from the premium you pay each month and allocated towards settling the adviser charge. For example, the total cost of advice is £1260. You have been recommended a regular premium product of which £250 will be paid each month. £105 will be taken from this amount to pay off your adviser charge over 12 months. The remaining £145 will be invested during this time. At the end of this period the adviser charge would have been settled in full. From month 13 the full £250 will be invested. If you choose to pay for the advice you receive via instalments, the full amount of the adviser charge will need to be paid irrespective of whether: • the recommended product(s) is /are cancelled before the full amount is paid; and/or • you subsequently decide to transfer your business to another firm / financial adviser. Any outstanding amounts, as at the date of cancelling the recommended product / transferring to another firm or adviser, will be due to be paid in full within 14 business days of the termination / transfer date. An invoice will be raised for the full outstanding amount. There may be other costs, including taxes, that are payable through other parties (such as the product provider) that we may not be party to. Such charges are normally disclosed in relevant third party documentation, for example a Key Features Document. We will confirm to you in writing the basis of our service and the reasons for recommending any transactions transmitted or executed on your behalf.

We will forward to you all documents showing ownership of your investments as soon as practicable after we receive them; where a number of documents relating to a series of transactions is involved, we will normally hold each document until the series is complete and then forward them to you. R & H Financial Planning LtFutures Assured Limited d does not safeguard or administer client assets but we may arrange business through platforms, which will provide custody services for your assets.

Money or transferred assets will be placed immediately with that third party for investment – we will never hold the assets for you.
