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.
  • Selftrade does not provide investment advice. If you are in any doubt as to the risk or suitability of an investment or product you should seek advice from an independent financial adviser.

1The management fee is due as at 1 July annually and will be debited to accounts, following notification to you, in August. It covers the Fee for the coming 12 month period; no refund is given should the account be closed during this period. For accounts opened after 1 July each year, the fee will become payable as at 1 July in the following year. Where you hold a sole account and are also party to a separate Joint account (identified, therefore, by a different account number), you should note that the management fee is payable on both accounts.

2The indicated rates are payable on cash held in all account types except Child Trust Funds. We pay interest monthly, normally on the first working day of each month. We don't pay amounts of less than 30p and these will not accrue to the next period. Interest is calculated separately for each account type held at Selftrade. Interest on cash held in Child Trust Fund credit interest is paid at 1% below base rate. Except in the case of an ISA, credit interest is paid gross of UK income tax and you should, where applicable, account separately for any tax due. For an ISA, a tax deduction is made, currently at 20%, and shown separately to the credit interest payment.
