Novelist continues as Amdax: here's what this means for you

We're sorry to share that we're discontinuing Novelist. On this page, you'll find out why, what this means for you, and the steps you can take next.

Why are we discontinuing Novelist? 

Novelist is continuing under Amdax. In practice, we've found that we can serve our clients better by bringing all our services together in one place. For you, this means lower fees and a single, streamlined environment with direct access to Amdax's full range of services. 

What are your options? 

Option 1: Continue as an Amdax client 

You move over to Amdax and continue within the Balancer 15 strategy. This works a little differently than what you're used to. Where Novelist was active wealth management, Amdax uses a passive long-term strategy. This requires less day-to-day management, which is why the fees are lower: 1.2% per year and 0.2% per transaction. There's no charge for switching over. 

Here's how to make the switch: 

1. Sign up via the Amdax app or my.amdax.com/register and complete the onboarding.
   
2. Once your onboarding is complete, Amdax will take over your Wealth Management Agreement, including your suitability assessment, and we'll transfer your positions as they are. There's nothing else you need to do.

You can read more about the Balancer 15 strategy here.

Option 2: Withdraw your funds 

Prefer not to switch? In that case, we'll sell your positions and transfer the balance back to your linked bank account. Just let us know by sending us an email.

Sign up via the Amdax app or my.amdax.com/register, or let us know that you'd like to withdraw your funds. Don't hear from you? We'll sell your positions and transfer the balance back to your linked bank account. 

Frequently asked questions 

Will anything change in my portfolio if I switch?

Your positions will be transferred one-to-one to Amdax. 

How will my positions be transferred?

Once your onboarding is complete, Amdax will take over your Wealth Management Agreement, including your suitability assessment, and transfer your positions as they are. There's nothing else you need to do.

I already have an Amdax account. What should I do? 

Get in touch with us. We'll make sure your positions are transferred from Novelist into your existing Amdax account. 

What happens if I don't respond?

If we don't hear from you before 5 June 2026, we'll sell your positions and transfer the balance back to your linked bank account. 

What's the difference between Novelist and Amdax? 

Novelist offered active wealth management. At Amdax, we work with a passive long-term strategy. A passive approach requires less management, which is why the fees are lower: 1.2% per year within the Balancer 15 strategy.
