  • Annual savings of up to 0.5% every year on funds
    You could save £1,000, over 10 years on a transfer of £40,000, with our annual loyalty bonuses of up to 0.5% on more than 1,000 funds.
  • Revive poorly performing investments
    If you hold poorly performing investments why not transfer to Vantage and select a new investment? You make your own investment decisions in Vantage and can choose from more than 2,000 funds with absolutely no initial charge, together with shares, investment trusts, corporate bonds, gilts and ETFs. Remember the value of investments can fall as well as rise so you could get back less than you invest.

Transfer free of charge

It's free to transfer ISAs and funds from over 40 providers. If your provider is not listed please contact our Helpdesk or your existing provider to check transfer terms. It's also free to lodge any share certificates into the Vantage Service.

If you're transferring a pension, please check you won't lose any valuable guarantees or incur excessive exit fees before submitting your transfer form. If you're transferring plans already in income drawdown, a word of caution: income drawdown in the Vantage SIPP doesn't include advice. So, if you currently receive advice, this will stop unless you arrange to receive it separately.

We make no charge to hold most funds within the Vantage Service, in fact as detailed above we could pay you through our loyalty bonus. A minority of funds (mostly tracker funds) incur a flat platform fee of £1 or £2 per holding per month to be held in the Vantage ISA, Junior ISA, Fund & Share Account and SIPP. You can check how much you will save or whether there is a charge to hold any of your funds using our loyalty bonus calculator.

Shares, investment trusts, ETFs, gilts and bonds incur an annual fee of 0.5% capped at £45 a year in the Vantage ISA and £200 a year in the Vantage SIPP. It is free to hold them in the Vantage Fund & Share Account.

Important information

Before you decide to transfer please ensure you understand how the transfer will be made and that you won't lose any valuable guarantees or other benefits, or incur excessive exit fees. Pensions will be transferred as cash. Most groups will allow you to transfer ISAs, funds and shares as stock but if you choose to transfer as cash remember that you will be out of the market while the transfer takes place. This may work in your favour if the market falls but if it rises you will not benefit from any growth until your money is reinvested.

In Vantage you make your own investment decisions. Investments go down in value as well as up so you could get back less than you invest. Pension rules we refer to are those that currently apply; they could change in the future but you cannot normally access the money until at least age 55. Tax reliefs depend on your circumstances. This website is not personal advice, if you are unsure of an investment's suitability you should seek advice.

" Having all my investments under a familiar and extremely user-friendly platform is so convenient. Not to mention the huge discounts and low annual cost of investing in a wide range of established funds – it is unbeatable!
 

Mr Katakkar, London

" The professional service given by your company has given me the confidence to place all my investments with yourselves under one roof without any worries.
