What are ancillary costs?


Recommended Posts

Under my ISA annual charges statement, there is a significant "ancillary costs" figure for the past year. Could someone help me understand what comes under this? 

I have been mainly trading UK and US individual stocks.

 

Thanks

Hi @BigDeal @crystak

The ancillary costs consist of Custody fee and currency conversion. 

Currency conversion: When your trade requires conversion of one currency to another, we charge a currency conversion fee, added on to the conversion itself.

Custody fee: A fee charged if you hold investments on a share dealing account or ISA at the end of a quarter, and have traded fewer than three times in that quarter. The fee does not apply if you only hold cash on your account, and any commission you pay reduces the fee by the relevant amount.

    • I've developed an initial version of a market sentiment checker, which utilizes the concept of weighted log returns to gauge the mood of the financial markets. This tool is designed to simplify the complex task of assessing market sentiment by analyzing fluctuations in price data. By applying weights to log returns, it emphasizes the significance of certain data points over others, offering a more nuanced view of market dynamics. This approach allows for a fundamental analysis of market sentiment and provides insights into the current state of the market at any given moment. It serves as a valuable tool for investors and traders looking to make informed decisions based on the underlying sentiment driving market movements. sentiment-sleuth - Github Link
    • Demo account: Please note that conditions on demo accounts may differ from real accounts. Some brokers may only provide overnight loans on real accounts and not on demo accounts.
    • Swap Rate: Check the swap rates for your open positions. Overnight loans are calculated based on the difference between the interest rates of a currency pair, and if the difference is small or negative, you will not receive a loan.
