Dealing fees for buying and selling investments

You do not pay fees for buying and selling funds as these costs are covered in your ongoing service fee. For buying and selling UK non-fund investments online (e.g. stocks and ETFs) there is a £4.95 dealing fee per transaction which is one of the lowest of the major investment platforms – see more information below.

The value of your investments and the income from them may go down as well as up, and you could get back less than you invested.
