After researching Shaw and Partners thoroughly and reviewing the publicly available information, I’ve found that assessing their fee structure as a forex trader presents some real challenges. Unlike typical retail forex brokers who usually publish detailed information about their spreads and commission rates up front, Shaw and Partners operates more on a wealth management and advisory model. Their focus is on professionally managed accounts, goal-based portfolios, and tailored investment solutions. In my experience, such setups often involve a fee arrangement based on a percentage of assets under management, flat advisory fees, or performance-based fees, rather than transparent, standardized spreads or per-trade commissions one would expect from mainstream forex brokerages. Adding to my concerns, Shaw and Partners does not provide clear, easily accessible documentation on their trading fees, commission schedules, or the exact spread costs that clients might incur. This lack of straightforward fee disclosure makes it difficult for active traders like me to accurately estimate total trading costs in advance. It’s also important to note that their ASIC regulatory license is currently in an “Exceeded” state, which would make me extra cautious, especially when fee transparency is lacking. In summary, while some users note positive experiences with the broader suite of services and client support, the absence of public information about concrete forex fees or spreads means I cannot definitively outline what a trader should expect in terms of cost. For anyone considering Shaw and Partners, I’d recommend having a direct and very specific conversation with their advisors before committing funds or trading activity, so there are no unwelcome surprises regarding the actual fees involved.
