Our commitment to you is absolute transparency and simplicity, and our pricing is no different.

We don't believe in charging based on your invested amount (often called Assets Under Management or AUM). AUM-based fees appear small initially, but their impact grows with your investment, like a parasite. Worst of all, most AUM-based platform and advisor fees are deducted from your investments instead of being charged up front in a simple transparent manner.

fees you do pay

Subscription fees

Users on a paid plan pay a fixed monthly subscription fee. These plans are still only available for invited users but we hope to make them generally available soon.

Brokerage fees

Whenever you buy or sell financial instruments, like the ETFs that back your Fynbos tax-free investments, you pay a brokerage fee that includes statutory charges and fees.

We add no markup to the fees we pay for brokerage, so the fee you pay is the lowest in the market at 0.10%.

Fund management fees

The funds available through Fynbos all have their own fees charged by the fund management company. These are not charged directly but rather deducted from the fund itself so you won't see that fee in your Fynbos statement.
