We’ve designed InvestEngine, to give you a simply‑affordable way to invest.

There are three potential costs to consider. The first is your account fee, the second is your portfolio fee, and the third is the cost of the ETFs to put inside your portfolio.

You can start investing with InvestEngine from as little as 0.03% or just 30p a year per £1,000 invested!

Our accounts

We offer a range of flexible accounts, each with their own benefits, for you to hold your investments in. You can find out more about each account type here.

InvestEngine is able to provide a commission and fee‑free service by generating interest on uninvested cash on the platform. For a full breakdown of how we’re able to provide a free service, you can read more here.

Any uninvested cash you hold with InvestEngine doesn’t generate returns. Consider transferring this cash to an interest‑bearing account, or better yet, activate AutoInvest to keep your money working for you.

For example, £1,000 in a savings account with a 4.5% interest rate earns about £3.75 monthly. In contrast, if invested over the past decade in a balanced portfolio comprising 60% global stocks and 40% global bonds, this amount could have doubled to over £2,000 by 31/12/2023.

Further information about our fees collection process and consequences can be found in our SIPP Account Fees Policy.

Our portfolios

Exchange traded fund (ETF) costs

The exchange traded funds (ETFs) in your InvestEngine portfolio have their own costs.

As with other investment funds, ETFs have annual charges. For DIY Portfolios, annual charges depend on the ETFs you choose and start from 0.03% a year (see the full list).

With our Managed Portfolios service, the average ETF charge in the Growth portfolios is 0.14% a year. These charges are built into the performance of the ETFs, and we are always looking at opportunities to reduce these costs even further.

There is also a small difference — the market spread — between the buying and selling prices of the ETFs. With our Managed Portfolios these spread costs average 0.07% a year.

InvestEngine charges NO dealing fees and makes nothing from the ETF costs.
