You were given an 'additional allocation' of the 2.75% when you signed up. Whilst this sounds great, you will more than pay it back in additional establishment charges over the next 3-5 years.

the extra allocation up front is paid for by taking bigger annual charges out of your plan (usually for 5 years)

it also allows the adviser to take a commission and still give you more than 100% allocation.

It was pretty common practice but less regular these days

most advisors get 4% though and 10% on profits
