We support ‘clean’ share class (unbundled) funds and there are no initial or switching charges (on non-ETI trades). However, some fund management companies have a buy or sell charge and some funds may have a bid-offer spread.

There are four different types of fees and charges that your clients might pay:

• Adviser fees, which are organised with your client and paid to you. More on this service.
• Our fees, which are made up of:
  • The Investor Fee – an annual fee of £45
    • The Investor Fee is collected as an ongoing monthly payment of £3.75.
    • This covers all holdings held in a client’s sole name irrespective of how much is held in their ISA, Pension and Investment Account.
    • Any investor who has a sole account pays the Investor Fee in their own right, and there is a separate Investor Fee for each unique set of names for joint accounts.
    • There is no Investor Fee for a child who has a Junior ISA or Junior Pension, or for any client who only has a SIPP and/or bond administered by Standard Life.
  • The Service Fee – an annual percentage fee of 0.25% on assets held, excluding cash
    • This is collected monthly from product cash (default option), with any shortfall made up by redeeming units from either a nominated fund or the largest fund held within the client’s account.
    • It is calculated on the 1st of each month and is deducted on or around the 1st of the following month, so it is paid in arrears.
• Ongoing management charges for each fund held by the client charged by the investment company/manager.
• Dealing charges for exchange traded investments (ETIs) – transaction charges vary depending upon the service provided. Stamp Duty Reserve Tax of 0.5% may also apply. Full details of the charges relating to ETIs.
