    Are you referring to the H/L £2 per month charge for trackers?
    Would you care to elaborate on any price changes?

    Charges for HL are not yet known. However, the objective of the rule changes is to remove product/fund bias from the platform/distributor. So, whether you choose an index tracker, managed fund or direct investment, the charges should be the same (other than where there are dealing costs). So, there should not be a £2 charge for trackers but no charge for managed. In all the other cases, trackers have become more expensive and managed funds cheaper. The difference now is much smaller than it used to be.
