Opening an investment account with NuWealth is quick and easy. You’ll need to download the NuWealth app, available on the Play Store or the App Store. Once you’ve installed the app, enter your details to register for NuWealth, and select the account you’d like to open to start the ID verification process.

‍

You can make as many trades as you like, but the trades will only complete when the stock market is open. 

The majority of shares available for our Standard accounts are traded on the UK market, however, a selection of US stocks are available too. We trade once a day (enabling us to keep account fees low) shortly after 15:00 each business day. Trades on this account complete shortly after 15:00 (if placed before the market opens, any trades placed after this will complete on the next working day).

Please note, trades placed on ‘The Adventurer’, ‘Fly the Flag,’ ‘Bond, Global Bond’, ‘Slow and Steady’ or ‘The Balanced’ need to be placed before 11am on a working day in order to be processed the same day. If trades are placed after 11am, the trade will typically be processed on the next working day. However, please be aware that all trades placed on ‘The Adventurer’, ‘Fly the Flag,’ ‘Bond, Global Bond’, ‘Slow and Steady’ or ‘The Balanced’ can take up to four working days to complete.

There is a £1 per month fixed subscription fee covering all transaction and investing costs, and grants you access to the Learning Hub, Round Ups and Auto Invest.

There is also a platform fee of 0.10% of your portfolio value, e.g. £10 per £10,000 per year which is charged monthly. At any time, you can view the fees you will pay per month for your Standard accounts by opening the NuWealth app > 'Account' > 'Fees & Charges'. These low fees make NuWealth one of the cheapest providers out there!

‍

On some occasions, a 0.75% FX fee will be applied to trades on foreign shares only. 

Plus, where applicable, an ETF provider fee (0.07% and 0.75% variable based on the fund) will be charged annually, and billed monthly, depending on which themed fund you select. This isn’t deducted from your account but rather is reflected in the value of your fund.

GIA stands for General Investment Account, and it’s a standard investing account which is not tax-free. This means that you are liable to pay taxes on any realised capital gains. However, there is no limit to how much you can invest, or how many GIAs you can have. 

Standard GIA: Execute daily orders in ETFs and fractional shares, and utilise Round Ups and Auto Invest.

Themed Funds (or Exchange-Traded Funds)
‍
With NuWealth, you can invest in themed funds (ETFs) in a range of sectors, such as gold, technology and ethical investing from just £10. We work with a number of ETF providers such as BlackRock, Vanguard, Amundi and Rize. Explore our ETFs to see the full range of options. Please note, ETFs are only available with a NuWealth Standard account.

Fractional Shares
‍
‍You can also choose to purchase shares in global companies with fractional shares. Sometimes the value of a whole share can be high, which is why we provide fractional shares; fractional shares allow you to purchase part of a whole share for as little as £10. No matter your budget, you can own a piece of brands like Tesla, Apple or Amazon. Fractional shares are only available in General Investment Accounts, though whole shares are also available in ISAs and Junior ISAs.
