Comparing platform charges

Jargon in financial services can be confusing, which makes it hard for your clients to compare services or understand what they’ll pay. This document identifies the main components of platform charges and explains what these different charges might look like.

Wrap’s innovative price lock for clients in drawdown

For clients in drawdown, Wrap makes it possible to lock in the most competitive platform charge when their assets are at their highest. With Wrap’s innovative Drawdown Price Lock, as clients take money out of their pension, their SIPP percentage platform charge won't increase. Clients have the option to achieve their best drawdown lock-in price if they choose to consolidate all other assets first. You also have the flexibility to review the price lock, remove it or reinstate it depending on your clients’ needs.

Wrap offers even more value for your wealth clients and families

More value for your £1m clients: 15bps equivalent flat fee

Clients with £1m or more in platform eligible assets in a single account can benefit from a competitive 15bps equivalent flat fee. As your clients may be on varying adviser terms, you have full control to decide which clients could benefit.

Read our guide below for more information on how this alternative pricing structure works. You'll also find instructions for how to request these terms for eligible clients.

More value for families

When accounts are linked for family terms, all family members can benefit from the associated discount. We can link up to 10 close family members as long as one family member has at least £500,000 in platform eligible assets in their individual account. Couples can benefit from family terms too, by linking two individual accounts and a joint account if the combined total is at least £500,000 in platform eligible assets.

For more information on family terms, including terms and conditions, please see our Understanding family/couples discount guide.

Please note:

  • Linking family accounts isn't done automatically by the platform.
  • The 15bps equivalent flat fee only applies to individual assets of £1m or more and won't apply to family-linked assets over £1m.
  • Trusts don't qualify under Wrap’s family terms.

Making it easy for you and your clients

Pre-fund your clients' investments

As time out of the market can have a big impact on your clients' investments, Wrap can pre-fund new investments, fund switches and pension tax relief for them at no extra cost, even if their funds have yet to clear.

Pre-funding can help you:

  • Prevent undue delays when investing your clients’ money
  • Remove the guesswork by reducing the time out of the market
  • Maintain complete control of your clients’ investments

Interest rates

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

The annual gross interest rate we pay to customers on product level 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 (paid rates are rounded up to the nearest 0.01%):

Base rate (per tier) % of interest paid to customers
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 3.00% 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%; i.e. 0.00% + 0.15% + 0.50% + 2.10% + 0.25% = 3.00%

The exception is the Wrap International Portfolio Bond cash account, where the current interest rate is 3.50% per annum and may vary from time to time.

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 Platform 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.
