We keep costs low and transparent so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and when.
What is a Platform fee?
This covers the costs for providing your Royal Bank Invest account.
The maximum you’ll pay is 0.15%. That’s 15p for every £100 of your investments.
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.
The Fund fee covers the costs incurred in running the fund. It includes the investment manager fee in addition to, holding and safeguarding the assets (depositary and custodian), administration, legal and audit fees and the cost of investing in external funds.
It does not include the platform fees, fund transaction costs or any potential one-off charges (e.g. advice fees or dilution levy).
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.
We tier our Platform fee
The Platform fee varies depending on how much you invest.
- If you invest up to £1m, you’ll pay 0.15%.
- Anything above £1m up to £5m you pay 0.10%.
- Anything over £5m you pay our minimum platform fee of 0.05%.
