Trading 212 (T212)

Kept outside of tax wrappers (ISA is elsewhere) - my tax return is currently a manageable headache and I’d rather not make it too much worse if I can help it

I think it’s still pretty straightforward for tax reporting purposes with T212, I hold ETFs and the documents I get are sufficient for my tax return

T212 will give you an annual report in April which shows capital growth and dividends received, even if they were within an accumulating ETF.

Perfect - I might add to the challenge and throw some fx calcs into the mix just for fun (I don’t get out much)

I got access to the T212 SIPP today!

Have added my beneficiaries and initiated a partial in specie transfer from my AJ Bell SIPP. The transfer process so far was very straightforward, just selecting the investment and the quantity of which I want transferred over, as well as an option to enter the cost price for gains tracking.

Will be interesting to see how long it takes, I assume in specie takes longer than cash, but no rush with everything remaining invested. T212 have quoted around 12 weeks.

I look forward to T212 rolling out employer contributions then I can move fully across provided all goes smoothly.

I need them to add withdrawals first, though tempted to move a chunk over from the work pension.

Can the SIPP have OEIC funds, or is it limited to the same ETFs/shares etc as available on the platform for GIA / ISA?

I believe just the same investment options as in the ISAs; stocks and ETFs.

It’s the same as the Invest and ISA accounts.

So the question becomes: how to make a “recurring subscription” from scratch at low cost ? Assuming I don’t want to move my existing recurring subscription (if any) around.

As in avoiding this fee? It bugs me probably more than it should that I’ve used up the limited auto-deposit allowance and that it’s not possible to just have a direct debit.

You can deposit by standing order.

There’s a page on money saving expert with places taking low DD, SO, and card deposits.

@Arnie7 Yes I know about this thread A regularly updated list of accounts that allow direct debit and/or debit card deposits — MoneySavingExpert Forum
but
-SO wouldn’t work as the top up needs to be pulled from the T212 debit card (into the receiving bank/savings account), and not sent by SO periodically from a sending bank account (in this case the T212 emoney account) into the receiving one
-The thread doesn’t seem to list any bank/savings account which would support a recurring top up via a CPA-style pull from the T212 debit card.

Oh well I will see if I have a CPA pull on one of my cards somewhere and switch it to the T212 dc. Or give up on the 1.5% cashback.

Amazing, that worked a treat ~15mins deposit time as a test and should fire off every 1st of the month for all eternity now

Fidelity SIPP : Can deposit into either Cash Management Account or SIPP. Minimum £1

Should do the business. The cash management account is basically a savings account.

Got my SIPP invite this morning.

Now let’s see if my workplace Aviva pension will let me do a partial transfer out once a year…

Don’t know about Aviva, but Legal & General support partial transfers, Standard Life only full transfers.

Yeah can imagine aviva will be full only.

It’s my workplace one and the fees and investment options are not really competitive.
