A discretionary wealth manager, or discretionary fund manager (DFM), makes investment decisions on your behalf within an agreed mandate. They handle portfolio construction, rebalancing, and tax planning - ideal for investors who want professional management without daily involvement.
FEES

Wealth management charges typically include an annual management charge (often 0.5% to 1.5% of assets under management), underlying fund costs, and custody or platform fees. We help you understand and compare these fee structures clearly.
