Hi
I see you can open one of these with £25 a month but how long does that £25 a month need to last? I'm not sure I want to commit to that forever.. I was thinking more of putting a bit then then ad hoc additions and birthdays and christmases etc.
Anyone know?
Thanks

I don’t think any platforms (Fidelity being a platform). Kick you off if you stop regular payments. There’s no minimum balance for a regular ISA if you withdraw money.0

Thanks for that.
Also does anyone know how investing the £25 a month works? Can you invest it straight away or do you need to wait until it gets to a higher amount before you invest it?
Also I notice the fees bit from their website says;- £1.50 for deals as part of a regular savings or withdrawal plan, or for a reinvestment of income or a dividend.
- Simple charge of £10.00 for each deal placed online
And if you do put £25 in a month, £1.50 of that is a fee? Also for reinvestment of dividends. How that include if you choose an accumulation fund?
Sorry for all the questions!0 -
The charges only apply to buying investments directly from the stock market ( like shares ).
There is no charge for buying funds and if you pick an accumulating fund then there are no dividends to be reinvested . It all happens within the fund .
The only fee you will pay is the charge of the fund you pick and that is paid from the fund so you never see it .
I would try to stick to the £25 a month at least , if you want to build up a reasonable sum .1 -
Ahh right I did read that the fees were only for shares and not funds but that's not clear on their website and I started to think I had made it up!0

Just to be super clear you need to buy traditional OEIC type funds not ETFs to avoid paying any trade fees.
I cancelled the £20+£5 monthly contribution into our kids Fidelity SIPPs after 5 months and they didn't complain. I only opened the accounts as a punt to get them a protected access age of 55 which is no longer available to new customers
