Order Execution Policy

We're required by the FCA to establish and implement an Order Execution Policy and to provide appropriate information to customers as to how we will take all sufficient steps to obtain the best possible outcome on the execution of your orders.

The following policy applies to all orders received from, and executed on behalf of customers. It should be read in conjunction with the relevant terms and conditions.

Comparing Platform Charges

Jargon in financial services can be confusing which makes it hard to compare services or to understand what you will pay. This document identifies the main components of platform charges and explains what these different charges might look like.

Interest Rates

Each Fundzone customer automatically has access to a Fundzone Supermarket Cash account. In addition, the Fundzone platform also operates cash accounts at a product level.

The annual gross interest rate we pay to customers on cash accounts is calculated with reference to the Bank of England base rate. This means that you can always work out what the interest rate paid will be, using the table below and deducting 0.35% from the total (with a minimum paid rate of 0.00%; paid rates are rounded up to the nearest 0.01%):
Base rate (per tier) % of interest paid to customers (before reduction by 0.35%)
0.00% - 0.50% 0%
0.50% - 1.00% 30%
1.00% - 2.00% 50%
2.00% - 5.00% 70%
5.00% + 100%

For example, under the base rate announced on 3rd August 2023 of 5.25%, the rate we pay to customers on product level cash accounts is 2.65% per annum. This is calculated as 0% of the first 0.50%, plus 30% of the next 0.50%, plus 50% of the next 1.00%, plus 70% of the next 3.00%, plus 100% of the next 0.25%, minus 0.35%; i.e., 0.00% + 0.15% + 0.50% + 2.10% + 0.25% - 0.35% = 2.65%

Interest is calculated daily. If the base rate is negative this table will not apply and paid rates may become negative. When the Bank of England base rate changes, the rate paid to customers will be updated within five working days. The interest rate on the Supermarket Cash account is 0.00% per annum.

Cash Management Administration Charge

The rate we earn from our banking partner(s) may be higher or lower than base rate and may vary daily. We retain any additional interest earned as a margin to cover costs in managing cash. We call this margin the Cash Management Administration Charge (CMAC). The CMAC is taken directly from the interest received from the bank(s), so will not appear as a separate charge.
