  • All online purchases of UK listed shares are commission free between 9 July and 28 September
  • And sell at a flat rate of £5 commission for all online share sales

 

Alliance Trust Savings, the share dealing expert, today announces its summer sale offer for both new and existing online customers. Under the new offer customers can purchase UK listed shares online commission free and pay just £5 commission for their online share sales. The offer will apply to all online UK equity trades between 9 July and the 28 September 2007 across Alliance Trust’s dealing, ISA, PEP and Self Select SIPP accounts.

 

Alliance Trust’s online share dealing service offers real-time trading with no ongoing account management or set-up charge.  It also offers intelligent features like single page trading, income management, and access to a range of dynamic research tools that investors can personalise to suit their individual needs.

 

Claudia Philips, Managing Director of Investment Dealing, says, “Our new summer offer is an exciting opportunity for existing customers and people new to online share dealing. During our summer sale, customers will be able to enjoy unlimited free online share purchases and a heavily discounted online sales charge. This offer makes Alliance Trust Savings one of the cheapest share dealing services currently on the market with no caveats hidden in the small print.

 

“Not only does this offer a superior, efficient share dealing service to our existing customers and we are confident that this will encourage new customers to try out our online service. Our system offers flexibility and ease of use enabling customers to manage their portfolios and those of their families in one place whenever they want.”
