Why it matters where you buy your funds
Most people spend a lot of time picking the right fund, but did you know picking where you buy your fund can also make a difference? With our fund rebates the exact same funds you’re invested in now, could be working harder for you.
We rebate 100% of all income and commission we receive on your funds. This can have a significant impact on your returns, particularly over time.
Different providers offer you different levels of rebate, with some offering no rebate at all. As just one illustration of this, the following example shows the difference in what your tax-efficient SIPP portfolio would be worth if you invested though Interactive Investor rather than with a provider who pays you no rebate:
| Interactive Investor | Provider paying no rebate | Difference | ||||
| Year 1 | £ 105,987.16 | Year 1 | £ 105,500.00 | £ 487.16 | ||
| Year 5 | £ 133,844.64 | Year 5 | £ 130,696.00 | £ 3,148.64 | ||
| Year 10 | £ 179,436.28 | Year 10 | £ 170,814.45 | £ 8,621.83 | ||
| Year 15 | £ 240,852.16 | Year 15 | £ 223,247.65 | £ 17,604.51 | ||
| Year 20 | £ 323,584.65 | Year 20 | £ 291,775.75 | £ 31,808.90 | ||
| Figures are based on an initial investment of £100,000 into a SIPP with a gross yield of 7% and a net yield of 5.5% after deduction of 1.5% AMC. It assumes an average rebate of 0.64% for Interactive Investor versus a provider who pays no rebate. Pricing is subject to change. In the example above the fund and any income received is reinvested. The Interactive Investor return is net of the £120 + VAT annual Interactive Investor SIPP fee. |
