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 0.05% a year (see the full list).
With our Managed Portfolios service, the average ETF charge in the Growth portfolios is 0.15% a year. The average ETF charge in the Income portfolios is 0.25%. 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.
