Fund focus
More than 60 providers, and all with £nil purchase commission..
Our Funds platform gives you ready access to a wide range of active and passive funds, all with no purchase commission (sales are charged at our normal dealing commission rate). What's more. Selftrade passes on, in full, any discount we are able to negotiate on the Fund Manager's standard initial charge. We do receive a small percentage of trail commission which covers the costs associated with setting the funds up on our platform and which also allows us to waive the normal dealing fee on purchases.
Depending on the fund provider, you'll find growth, income, regional, sector-focused, ethical and multi-manager funds, whilst benefiting from discounts on initial charges.
Unit trusts, like shares, are subject to a spread between the bid and offer prices, whereas OEICs are single-priced. Funds are dealt on a forward pricing basis, so the prices at which orders will be executed cannot be known in advance. They are also subject to initial and annual management charges and in certain circumstances may be subject to a dilution levy.
Please bear in mind that:- The value of investments can fall as well as rise and any income from them is not guaranteed. You should be prepared to lose your investment. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.
- You should always read the Prospectus and understand the nature of the investment you plan to make. Be aware that some may use derivatives which carry a high risk to your capital. We will ask you to confirm that you have received the Simplified Prospectus or Key Investor Information Document, as appropriate, and will be unable to accept your purchase instruction without this confirmation.

Search for Fund Providers & Funds
Our Funds platform gives you access to more than 60 different Fund Managers - from household names such as Fidelity, INVESCO Perpetual, M&G and BlackRock to specialist providers offering niche funds for a different approach. All funds are available to buy free of our usual dealing fee - and all funds have specially negotiated discounts to bring you savings on the Fund Manager's initial charge.
To find the funds available from any of these Fund Managers, simply click on the name below.
When purchasing a fund we will ask you to confirm that you have seen the relevant Simplified Prospectus or Key Investor Information Document, as appropriate, and send you an email with the document for your records. Without this confirmation, or where the relevant document is not available, we will not be able to accept your order.
Fund orders must be received by 11am to be dealt on the same business day with the following exceptions:
- BlackRock Absolute Alpha - Dealing in this fund takes place twice a month: the 15th of the month (or the previous business day if the 15th falls on a weekend or a public holiday) and the last business day of the month. The cut off point is therefore 11am the previous business day.
- Scottish Widows Investment Partnership - Valuation points of 8am, 12pm and 2pm are applied and are specific to each fund. Fund orders must be received by 11am. Funds with 12pm and 2pm valuation points will be dealt on the same business day if the order is received by the 11am cut off point. However, to deal in a fund with an 8am valuation point, you must always place your order by 3pm on the previous business day; if your order is placed after 3pm then it will be dealt two business days later.
Please remember: The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary: you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
