T212 already dominates the likes of FT, itās been multiple times the size of FT for a while now and most of its feature offerings are better too.
Thatās exactly what I was thinking. Why not free?
I guess it will depend on whether shares in a SIPP can be lent out or not. Shares in an ISA cannot, but I donāt know about SIPPs.
I have heard about SIPP loans, but canāt find any single article that talks about securities lending in regards to SIPPās
Totally agree mate
More markets/investment choices, pies(automation), faster execution, desktop app, etcā¦
I guess there is a fee maybe because of admin expenses but still 9.99 will not be an issue from my point of view
I donāt know how else they would āmonetiseā it.
Maybe offering future retirement products such as annuities?
Huh? T212 themselves said that Invest & ISA are profit making now so why would anyone want to pay for a platform that is able to run at a profit while being zero fees/no commission?
I swear some people just want to give money away
Introducing more features and SIPP/JISA just means they will have even more users signing up which means even more profit while still offering a fee free service, win win for everyone!
SIPPs arenāt ISAs, last I heard 212 never said theyād be free
Exactly.
If I remember correctly (not 100% sure), they said theyād be āthe least expensive on the marketā, but not free.
AlexK weāre waiting for your response
Waiting for response from T212.
There was this previous post. Of course much has changed since April '20, particularly the onboarding of so many new clients, meaning that attention may have been diverted towards making the existing services work better. (Apologies, - I now see this post appeared near the top and this thread and was quoted several times after.)
Fast foward to March 2021, Trading 212 will have a 0.15% FX fee, and about the SIPP?
Are you willing to pay for a SIPP on Trading 212?
EDIT: I saw your new post about paying a SIPP fee. But pay for both?
Not 100% free any more.
0.15% FX fee on foreign currency.
Trading 212 is imitating other brokers in the market.
0.15% is not of a big deal.
But the question is still here: Is there going to be a SIPP option?
As things are going, perhaps:
- a 2.50 GBP/month fee for the SIPP
- a 2.50 GBP/month fee for the ISA
Or an āUK Tax Friendly Accountsā plan of 4.00 GBP/month for both SIPP + ISA.
PS: And afterwards adding new features, like other tax-wrappers, JISA and LISA, at 2.50 GBP/month fee each or upgrading the āUK Tax Friendly Accountsā plan with new features and new price.
You can get an ISA for free, but I wouldnāt mind a service fee for ETFs and OEICs.
I made a few posts advocating for a fixed fee structure. Either for features like a āpremium accountā or new account types like āsippā or āpay for in-specie transfersā. Even in those posts I warned about possible percentage fees creeping up in time.
I got 10s of replies telling me to shut up, āwhy would you want to pay for something that is freeā etc. People imagining itāll be free forever. And not realising percentage fees will creep up to be bigger than most fixed fee structures.
Still no sipp news. Would be great to see what they are working on (with comments disabled)
This is a much better fee structure:
- a 0.00 GBP/month fee for the SIPP
- a 0.00 GBP/month fee for the ISA
