Once account set-up is complete, users are provided with the account credentials and password change instructions, at which point users will have full control over their account.

3. Fees

3.1 Fee structure

Expert Finance Trade offers different plans: freemium, and performance fee. The freemium plan is totally free and offers limited functionality.

If you choose the performance fee plan, you pay a one-off set-up fee of Eur 59, after which we won’t charge you anything until you hit 10% profit. The moment that happens Expert Finance Trade will charge you a 15% performance fee over the realized gains, and the baseline is set to the portfolio value. For example: you invest Eur 5,000 and after a while your portfolio is worth Eur 5,500 (10% profit). You will receive an invoice for the amount of Eur 75 (500 profit * 15%), and the baseline is set to Eur 5,500. To hit 10% again, your portfolio needs to reach Eur 6,050 (5,500 + 10%).

Our customers especially like the no-profit-no-pay model as it means that Expert Finance Trade only gets paid if the customer wins. We like this also!
