Based on my review of Shaw and Partners as an experienced trader, I have not found any direct or clear mention of inactivity fees in the available information on this broker. Shaw and Partners positions itself primarily as a provider of wealth management, financial planning, and advisory services, rather than operating as a typical retail forex broker. Their account structures, such as Separately Managed Accounts and Model Portfolio Accounts, are tailored for investment goals rather than high-frequency trading. Because of this investment-focused model, the issue of inactivity fees—which are common among retail forex brokers—may not be as relevant or may be handled differently here. However, what makes me cautious is the general lack of detailed disclosures about fee structures. This, coupled with their "Exceeded" regulatory status, increases the need for extra diligence. As a trader who values transparency and clarity, I always advise directly contacting the broker’s customer support for up-to-date, written confirmation about any inactivity fee policy before opening or maintaining an account. It’s essential to fully understand not only trading costs but also any potential charges that could accrue through periods of account inactivity, especially with firms whose fee schedules may differ from standard retail brokerage norms. When regulatory clarity is not ideal, I believe asking direct, documented questions is the safest approach.
