By making an investment, your capital is at risk. The value of your Moneyfarm investment depends on market fluctuations outside of our control and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no indicator of future performance. The tax treatment of a Moneyfarm Stocks and Shares ISA and a Moneyfarm Pension depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. You should seek financial advice if you are unsure about investing.

Withholding Tax is levied on investment income from many non-UK markets, such as dividends received, and is withheld at the source of income and paid to the tax authorities where the company is incorporated. The amount of tax payable depends on the source country and the type of income received. If you are entitled to a lower tax rate under a tax treaty, you may attempt to recover part of the withholding tax by contacting the tax authorities in the source country.
As with all your investing with Moneyfarm, we take care of how much tax you owe at year end so you always know what’s due.
There’s no cost to open a Moneyfarm Share Investing account. Just choose a Stocks and Shares ISA and/or a General Investment account and take it from there. There are order fees and, for an ISA, custody fees.
Your buy or sell order automatically expires if it’s not completed by 5.00pm the same day, when the market closes.
This is when your buy or sell order remains in place until either it’s completed or you cancel it.
Market order. This is a request to buy or sell as soon as possible at a price very close to the current market price.
Limit order. This lets you set a minimum (selling) or maximum (buying) price for your order. Your order will never be executed at a higher price (when buying) or price lower (when selling) than your limit price.
PTM (Panel of Takeovers and Mergers) is a £1 government levy that is automatically charged to investors when they buy or sell shares for over £10,000.
Our fee structure is straightforward: £3.95 for each trade and 0.35% custody fee (ISAs only).
