In the past you had to deal with each fund manager or
insurance company individually, using different application
forms, making separate payments, and receiving separate
statements and valuations. Fund supermarkets provide a
platform to enable you to buy a fund or a selection of funds
from one or many different fund managers with just one form
within one wrapper.

Our fund supermarket service
Our service is free and we deal with all of the leading fund supermarkets and
have online links with Fidelity funds network and Cofunds. You can purchase
ISA's, investment trusts, OEIC'’s and unit trusts through our fund supermarket
links and choose from nearly 1000 funds from over 60 investment management
groups. Apply online
now or request a
quote and application pack.
Charges & discounts
Fund supermarkets use their purchasing power to negotiate discounts with the
investment management groups. If a discount is negotiated this is passed
onto you. This means it will never be more expensive to deal through a fund
supermarket than dealing directly with the investment management group. In
addition and wherever possible we discount up to 100% of our initial commission to
allow you to purchase funds with no initial charge. We negotiate individual
discounts for investments greater than £100,000. Please
contact us
with your requirements.
Consolidated administration
Using a fund supermarket it is possible to hold all of your collective
investments; ISA's, investment trusts, OEICS's, PEP's, and unit trusts in one
place. This allows you to easily monitor your investments, complete just one
form for any changes or fund switches and receive one simple annual
consolidated statement.
Re registration
This service allows you to move your existing investments on to a fund
supermarket platform without the need to sell and buy back your holdings, and
at no cost. This means you remain fully invested during this consolidation
process, do not incur usual transfer costs and as there are no chargeable
events you have no liability to capital gains taxation.
Online fund switching
Switching from one investment manager to another within a fund supermarket
takes between 24 and 48 hours. Instructions can be placed online and deals
are normally completed on discounted prices, typically at a cost of just
0.25% to 0.5%. This compares to the traditional method of switching your
investments from one investment manager to another at costs up to 5% and
with postal dealing often taking three weeks or more. Detailed fund fact
sheets for all qualifying UK investment funds can be obtained from our
fund performance
pages.
Portfolio Tools
A fund supermarkets wrapper also provides you with the opportunity to
utilise a range of portfolio planning tools. These tools are designed to
help you maximise your investment returns. Traditionally this will include
a range of analytical, charting and automatic rebalancing tools. Fund
prices are update daily providing real-time valuations.
