    I thought that  cost-pound averaging would be more "effective" if consistently buying every month all the 7 funds rather than twice a year each fund....
    Transferring in cash will be quicker, but I will be out of the market for a little while, which is a position I do not want to be in right now.
    II should be cheaper as they have now free regular investing

    Cost averaging doesnt help your long term investment returns - its purpose is simply to help you accept the risks of investing at all, particularly with a lump sum. With an investment timescale of perhaps decades whether you invest in a particular asset once a month or twice a year is pretty irrelevent.
