How much do you charge for IG Smart Portfolios?
We're committed to being transparent about our charges, so we’ll show you your total cost of ownership (TCO) before you invest. This is our estimate of all the costs you’ll incur in owning an IG Smart Portfolio, and includes your IG management fee (including VAT) and the Total Expense Ratio (TER) of the exchange traded funds (ETFs) you’ll hold. There are no sign-up fees, exit fees or hidden charges.

Our fee structure applies to each IG Smart Portfolio account type (general investment, stocks and shares ISA or SIPP) and is based on the underlying value of all the portfolios you hold within it – so the more your investments are worth, the more you’ll save.
For example, if your general investment IG Smart Portfolios are worth £20,000, we’ll change you a management fee of £100 for the year. If you invest £75,000, we’ll charge you a management fee of 0.50% on the first £50,000 invested and nothing on amount above this. This caps the management fee you pay at £250 per year.
Fees are quoted annually for greater clarity, but are calculated daily and charged on a monthly basis.
