    The counterbalance factor is that HL charge transaction fees (£11.95?) to buy and sell ETFs but not OEICs.

    So monthly contributions could go into an OEIC (in fact I think you can set up regular investing via Direct Debit, unless that's just for ISA and not SIPP). Then annually empty the OEIC into the chosen ETF.

    If it's a regular monthly payment into an ETF, HL do not charge anything.
