Share dealing charges
Online share dealing charges
| Share trades | Charge per trade |
|---|---|
| Monthly regular investing (Direct Debit) | No charge |
| 0 - 19 trades last month | £6.95 |
| 20+ trades last month | £3.95 |
The online dealing charges above apply to all HL accounts, except the Junior SIPP (always £3.95 per trade) and the Junior ISA (no charge).
The online share dealing charge is determined by the number of deals you placed in the previous calendar month. We count deals placed across all the HL accounts held under the same client number. The above covers shares, investment trusts, exchange-traded funds, gilts and bonds. Index-linked gilt deals made via telephone are charged at online dealing rates.
Extra charges apply for buying overseas shares and some equities may be affected by government taxes or levies.
Annual management charges
Your annual charge depends on whether you hold funds or shares. There are no charges for opening an account, holding cash or inactivity.

Other charges may apply in specific circumstances - see the terms and conditions for details.
How to pay charges
There’s no need to remember to make any payments. Each month we’ll automatically take charges from cash in your account.
If there’s not enough cash in your account, we’ll sell some of your investments to cover charges. There is no additional charge for this.
How much cash you need to keep available in your account depends on your investments. We’ll suggest a minimum cash amount for you, which you’ll be able to see in your account when you log in.
Fee collection
Charges will be calculated based on the value of your chargeable holdings on the last day of the month, and then collected in the following month.
We make it as easy as possible by collecting fees automatically from your account. If we cannot collect fees from cash held on your account we write to you explaining your options. If you fail to respond we may sell investments to cover your outstanding fees.
