Allan Gray head of product, Deborah Barr, said the investment firm saw its platform as a commodity product which was priced as low as it could.

“We believe that over the long term, wealth is created through the financial advice people receive and the investments that they hold. The platform should be low cost, to minimise the impact of overall costs on wealth creation over the long term,” she said.

“Not only do advisers and individuals on the platform have a simpler fee structure, but clients will also pay no asset-based administration fees for any Allan Gray Australia managed funds that they hold.

“All our clients get the new arrangement, with an additional reduction in administration fees available for clients using the same financial adviser, through family pricing.

“Furthermore, the new structure is competitive at every price point. So, as someone’s balance grows over the long term, the administration fee remains competitive.

“With Allan Gray Solutions, whether you are an adviser or an individual, everyone gets the same control, transparency, and ability to only pay for what you invest in.”
