Investment Trusts

Please note that the value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up so the client may get back less than they invest.

• Get up-to-date valuations alongside your clients’ other investment portfolios.

• No dealing fees apply if you are trading on  behalf of your client (dealing fees may apply if your client trades with us directly)

• Performance fees may be applicable

Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) applies to purchases of some European exchange-traded instruments, including some domiciled in Europe and traded on the other exchanges, such as the London Stock Exchange (LSE). It is charged as a percentage of the transaction value and may vary between countries (e.g. Spanish FTT is charged at 0.2%).

There is a flat rate charge of £1.50 that will be made on a purchase or sale of UK shares with a transaction value of over £10,000 if your trade is the only one made at the time if the trade is aggregated (such as those made via your adviser or intermediary), or if the trade was placed by you online as a Market Order or Limit order. It is used to finance the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers.

There is also flat rate charge of €1.25 (in the Sterling equivalent) that will be made on a purchase or sale of Irish shares with a transaction value of over €12,500* if your trade is the only one made at the time if the trade is aggregated (such as those made via your adviser or intermediary), or if the trade was placed by you online as a Market Order or Limit order. It is used to finance the Irish Takeover Panel.
