    You would still be charged @0.35% on everything, but if the IT/Shares/ETF portion was over £12,850 in total then that would hit the £45 cap so that anything in those type of investments over and above that amount wouldn't incur any further charge. 

    Obviously the OEICs would still get charged @0.35% regardless of amount held.

    I hadn't planned to still be with  Fidelity  as Im  going to be well over  the amount where I should be looking at  a set platform  fee, ( yet no-where near enough to command  a lower %age) -----but  Ive just moved 2 funds of  OH's  from one platform to another , and it took months ,  and the experience has put me right off for time being . Thought I may as well just  sort out my p'folio   and add both this years and next years  isa money /funds  with a steady platform I so far trust , and worry about moving,  further down the line .
    If the longer term plan is to move to a fixed fee platform then why not put this year's / next year's contributions on the new platform and so reduce the amount that would need to be transferred at some point anyway?

    PS - Suggestion re using ITs / ETFs may reduce the need to move platforms anyway.

    incidentally, I know it wasn’t part of the question but do you understand why the one fund has underperformed?  Previous performance may not be the best of reasons for swapping out of a fund.  As an example the two better performing funds may have more technology and or less UK - but will tech continue to outperform and or the UK continue to underperform?   Why did you originally have three funds has the requirement changed?

    p.s physical etfs are recommended😉

    Because the new platform was going to be iweb  same as my OH's but my experience with them over OH 's funds was so frustrating  I cant bring myself to commit  to them atm  . I need time to rethink platforms but dont want to  not go ahead with new investment .   I take your point on  IT's  and will probably be using at least one thanks.

    Shedman - thanks for the clarification . 

    pip895      No I dont know why  the  one has not been up to scratch .  My knowledge on investing is limited and only slowly building . I originally took these three out on the Fidelity platform many many years ago  and they were picked at random probably because they were doing well at the time -  Now Im  collecting my various scattered funds together and  looking to re balance  ,none of those  three are low risk  ! Ive only come back to look at investments very very infrequently and just left these  alone as two were quite reasonable , just the one underperforming  and not knowledgeable enough to know how long to  leave such a fund before kicking it out. 
    I would put the name of the fund here , but  this morning  for whatever reason,  I cant open my  Fidelity   ISA . It lets me see the summary , but when I click on the isa account  to see the breakdown ,  it just shows me a sheet of  different general information about  Fidelity ??? Never had that problem before  so will have to contact them  if its still the same in an hour or so. 
    ETF's I havent looked at closely so no understanding -always thought they were for experienced investors so havent used.

    I'm having the same issue with the app too.  It shows the total, but I can't get to the "view all holdings" page.

    It was OK on the main website though.     Hopefully just a temporary issue.
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)
  • Oh thanks for letting me know Sea Shell,   saves me a call   for now.  Annoying isnt it.   Im on a laptop ,not using a phone .
