Charges


We think it's fair that you only pay a fee when you make a transaction, so we don't make an annual plan charge and there are no account set-up fees.

The charges for OEICs and unit trusts are £15.00 for a purchase and £30.00 for a sale.

¹ Automatic dividend reinvestments are charged at the weekly purchase rate.

Stamp duty of 0.5% is payable on all security purchases except for OEICs, unit trusts, ETFs, gilts, debentures and loan stocks.

* The 0.2% commission is applied in respect of each individual purchase or sale of securities against the value of the investment.

Investment switches are classed as two individual transactions eg: where an investment is switched, the 0.2% commission would apply twice; on the sale of the original investment, and again on the purchase of the new investment.

Commission is not payable on OEIC and unit trust transactions. By concession, commission is not currently payable on transactions in Alliance Trust PLC. Alliance Trust Savings reserves the right to charge commission at any time in the future subject to the variation rights as specified in the Select Plans Terms and Conditions brochure.
