Our investment fees and charges

How much does it cost to invest with us?

We keep costs low and transparent so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and when.

The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may not get back the full amount you invest. Eligibility criteria, fees and charges apply.

Your fees will be 0.55% of your investment or less

  • We do not charge an initial fee, also known as an 'upfront fee', when you invest with us.
  • We charge fees for managing your investments totalling 0.55%. These consist of a platform fee of 0.15% and a fund management fee of 0.40%.
  • There are also costs for buying and selling within your investment - these are called transaction costs. Based on actual past costs, the highest costs for any of the available funds will be 0.07% of the value of the fund each year. These costs will be taken directly from the fund.

What is a platform fee?

The maximum you’ll pay is 0.15%. That’s 15p for every £100 of your investments.

This covers the cost of admin and online access to your Royal Bank Invest account. 

We take this payment at the end of every quarter (that’s March, June, September and December).

What is a fund fee?

The maximum you’ll pay is 0.40%. That’s 40p for every £100 of your investments.

This covers the cost of managing your investment. 

The fund fee is taken directly from the fund by the fund manager. It's made up of an annual management charge averaged out over the year and taken on a daily basis..

More about the platform fee

You choose how to pay the platform fee

You can pay your platform fee directly from your investment or you can pay from your Royal Bank of Scotland bank account.

If you pay directly from your investment, this will impact the value of your investment.
