    I always get confused with the annual fees platforms charge for ETFs

    Question by anonymous

    I always get confused with the annual fees platforms charge for ETFs, please could you explain a little more about it?

    Answered by Boring Money

    ETFs are charged like shares. You pay a transaction fee to buy and sell – usually between £5 and £10 depending on the platforms. And then the ongoing admin fee is charged again like shares. So some platforms charge their standard % fee on ETF holding, but will cap this fee at an annual amount.

    Risk warningAs is always the case with investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
