There is no set up fee but there is an annual administration charge of £135 + VAT charged every 1 February. However if you only invest in Alliance Trust PLC shares your annual charge will be discounted. No discount applies on your first annual charge.

The charge for transferring in from another provider is £50 + VAT and the charge for transferring out to another provider is £125 + VAT.

You can find full details of our charging structure in our Schedule of Fees.

Please remember the value of your investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount you originally invested. The value of your fund may be less than you paid in. All investments carry an element of risk, which may differ significantly. If you are unsure as to the suitability of any particular investment or product, you should seek professional financial advice. Tax rules may change in the future and taxation will depend on your personal circumstances. Charges may be subject to change in the future.
