ISA Transfer to IG and Custody Fees


Recommended Posts

Hi there!

I'm currently waiting to transfer my stock&shares ISA to IG. 

Transfer

Do I have to wait for it to complete to invest here? I opened other ISA in June 2020. Haven't fully used the £20,000 limit. So can I invest the remainder while I wait or do I have to wait for transfer to complete? As maybe it'll count as opening two ISAs in a tax year??

IG Fees

When do they start? Currently have 0 balance and waiting for transfer. Would I be charged?

When does each quarter start? is it Jan-Marc, Apr-June, etc? or varies depending on when i start/transfer complete.

I understand that if I do 3 trades per quarter there is no custody fee. Is there a minimum value to these trades to meet this?

Also noticed I have a share dealing and an isa account on my dashboard. is that normal? Only want the share isa. I won't be paying two custody fees right?

 

Thank you for the help!

Hey @sus123,

Transfer:

General rule is, no splitting current isa allowance between 2 brokers of same isa type unless transfer is in flight.
If you wants to split inflight, it is your duty to ensure you don't over subscribe. 

IG Fees: 

We don't charge for transfers but you should check your currently provider incase they have an exit fee. 

Quarters are: Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun ... 

There's no minimum value of commission for the quarterly fee. Three trades = no custody fee. Say you make 2 trades though and the commission totals to £20, you will only be charged (£24- £20) = £4

Your accounts collate meaning if you have a share dealing and ISA account you will only be charged £24 custody fee for the two. You can trade on either account to count towards the custody fee. 

All the best

Hi Charlotte,

Thank you for the help!

By 'in flight' do you mean in process of transfering.

So I have requested to transfer my ISA to ig last week? So I can use the remaining balance now, right?

Thanks!

    • It is a best practice to buy dip and sell high but this strategy mostly doesn’t go as planned because you can’t predict the final bottom. Some traders BTD anticipating a potential pullback which mostly doesn’t happen and this force some into panic selling. DYOR is mostly advisable but some people fail to know which analysis they should focus more on. When deciding to hold a token for a long-term FA is very important and its cardinal point should be thoroughly scrutinized before making such a decision. These points include; Whitepaper, Road map, and Usecase. These points have a huge impact on deciding how long to hold a project and also booast your confidence in the project's bullish potential.  The first principle in this industry is “invest what you can afford to lose" though many neglect this principle as such when a project is going through a price correction they panic sell and sell at a huge lost. Most normal regret their decision later when they see the project back on track. Once you adhere to the first principle you hardly fall victim to panic sales. Note that it is mostly not advisable to hold meme tokens una less you are convinced because meme goes with the hype and finds it hard to retest its ATH once the hype is over.  Anyway what are your trading strategy and principles you adhere to most?
