This is an issue because some will have been clients for more than 25 years.
But Hartley explained that several Fairstone advisers were servicing too many clients.
“Our ActivePlan proposition focuses on simplicity and consistency. We believe this will ensure that we can service all our clients in a consistent way that is right for them and their financial needs,” he said.
Hartley added that Fairstone as a whole had “very few clients” who were paying 0.5 per cent and the new proposition would ensure “consistency across our entire offer”.
