Have checked the biggest UK online brokers? Your papers should be dematerialized and than you could sell them through an online platform. Online brokers are generally cheaper than proper phone dealers...

Wrong thread perhaps...??

My mother holds some European  shares in a Charles Stanley exec only account (not online). She would like to transfer some into an online account held in my name but is finding it difficult to get a clear answer of the costs involved. The broker has stated costs to sell including Euroclear costs and commission. However I understood a transfer is not a sale? Does anyone have knowledge of what costs are likely to be involved?
Many thanks

I have checked Hargreaves Lansdown's FUNDSMITH EQUITY CLASS I - ACCUMULATION (GBP) fund and found that they're doing quite well.
Checked it a day later again and seen that even the past performance (annual return) is changing on a daily basis - which I assume, shouldn't. Can anyone explain it?

The past performance is reported over different periods each day, so of course it'll change!  Why would you expect the performance for the year to 9 April 2020 to be identical to the year to 6 April 2020?  And the same principle applies to all other dates....

sorry, but I'm talking about past performance - year 15/16 - 16/17 and so on... 

You obviously didn't understand my point about the same principle applying to the other dates: why would you expect the performance for the year to 9 April 2016 to be identical to the year to 6 April 2016?  They're different periods, obviously with a substantial overlap, but clearly not identical, so performance will inevitably be different....

I think richter was thinking in terms of physical years or possibly tax years, hence the 15/16 etc reference.

that's correct - that would make more sense to me.
