Facts and figures
Platform charges
The Aviva Platform charge depends on the value of your client’s ISA Portfolio.
We include any investments your client holds in the Investment or Pension Portfolios when we calculate the charge for the ISA Portfolio. Because of this, your client may receive a discount on the charges for their ISA Portfolio.
For more information on the Aviva Platform charges and examples of how the charging works, please see the Aviva Platform due diligence toolkit.
| Portfolio value | Aviva charge |
|---|---|
| £0 to £400,000 | 0.25% |
| £400,000.01 and above | 0.15% |
OCF/TER fund manager charges
Most investment fund managers make an initial charge for investing in their funds.
Fund managers will also take charges that depend on the investments chosen. These charges will be expressed as the ongoing charge figure (OCF) or total expense ratio (TER). These cover the charge made by the fund manager for managing the investment as well as expenses incurred by the fund. Please note the OCF and TER are variable and may change over time.

We’ve appointed Winterflood Business Services as our nominated stockbroker to carry out equity dealing on behalf of your clients when they invest through the ISA Portfolio. The equity trading costs table shows the charges for equity dealing.
