Fee Benchmarking Report 2026
NextWealth's annual fee benchmarking study is currently underway, which is a look across the industry at fees charged for financial advice, and includes the voice of the customer.
We carry out research on behalf of brands and organisations, in collaboration with partners, and to explore issues for ourselves.
Often this research is commercially confidential but, where insights are captured in a report format and we’re able to share the findings, we publish those reports here as part of of our Discovery series.
