Selling without losing isa status

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.1

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?ANGLICANPAT said: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 .
PS - Suggestion re using ITs / ETFs may reduce the need to move platforms anyway.1 -
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😉1 -
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.AlanP_2 said:

Shedman - thanks for the clarification .pip895 said:incidentally, I know it wasn’t part of the question but do you understand why the one fund has underperformed?

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 = 3.24% of current retirement "pot" (as at end December 2025)0 -
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 .0
