HL share dealing account "no charge"

[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Halifax also have no admin fee. They normally charge £12.50 a deal but have a cheap dealing day each month at £3.95. There is one next Wednesday.

Is that correct? I am being charged the standard 0.45% for the ISA and SIPP.

That's because you are using funds not company shares, investment trusts or EFTs

That's only true for shares though isn't it? I thought funds were uncapped?

Absolutely, funds are uncapped. However the thread relates to the 'HL share dealing account'

It's actually the Fund & Share account but you're right it doesn't apply to shares

It was of my understanding (and perhaps of others) that the op used the term 'share dealing account' with reference to the non-ISA account aka Vantage Fund & Share account that HL offer. As the actual name suggests, it can accomodate both shares and funds.

For sure, but without wanting to descend to levels of pedantry (or Wiki links) seen in other threads, that would be why I mentioned it

Indeed, it can hold both but the OP refers to the £11.95 transaction fee which doesn't apply to funds, only shares

Thanks.

I was wondering if I invest 10k in just one ETF, I'm thinking of HSBC ETFs Plc MSCI World ETF GBP (HMWO) which has an annual fee of .15%, will I incur any foreign exchange charges from HL. Or will I just pay the £11.95 deal charge then no further charges from HL just the .15% fund charge?

HMWO is a London listed ETF priced in Pounds and paying dividends in Pounds. Therefore there will be no foreign exchange charges. Any foreign conversion costs are born by the fund and aren't visible to you, no different to say Vanguard which will be buyinga s selling shares globally but you just see the U.K. Prices.

I don't think there's much of a 'catch' for the punter. But I can't help thinking, 'What's in it for the broker'?
