Charges FAQs
How are charges paid?
There's no need to remember to make any payments – we'll automatically take our charges each month. You'll need to keep cash in your account to pay any charges – there is a suggested minimum cash balance based on the size of your child's Junior SIPP, but you can hold as much cash as you like.
What happens if there's not enough cash to pay charges?
If you have fully contributed to your child's Junior SIPP and there is not enough cash to cover the outstanding charges, you can make a debit card payment directly into the Loyalty Bonus Account by calling our helpdesk on 0117 980 9897.
After that, and as a final resort, we’d sell holdings in your child's Junior SIPP to cover any charges and restore the suggested minimum cash balance. There is no additional charge for this. We will normally sell units of your largest fund holding first.
Important information
The charges above don’t include the cost of any advice you might need. If you need financial advice, our adviser would agree this cost with you separately.
