Is investing right for you? Every investment decision is based on your risk and return appetite and the way you’d like to invest. Why an investment account? Investment accounts allow you to invest in professionally-managed funds that trade in investments on your behalf. There’s risk attached to it, as the value of your investment could go down, but it has the potential to give you bigger returns than a savings account. How do you choose? If you're not sure where to start, we have 4 ready made growth funds you can choose from, based on the level of risk you're happy to take. If you'd like a little more choice, our Aviva Investors experts have put together a shortlist of funds, or you can build your portfolio from our full range of funds. Alternatively, you can transfer existing funds from current investments if we are able to accept them.

Fair charges up-front So you know exactly what you’re paying Our charges start at just 0.40% a year for investments under £50,000. Each fund also has a Fund Management Charge clearly set out in its Key Investor Information Document or Key Information Document. Transfer existing investments Move your existing funds across to an Aviva Investment Account so you are not out of the market . This means your investments will continue to be subject to market conditions and may go up or down in value whilst the unit transfer takes place. Whilst the unit transfer is in progress you will be unable to trade on the funds until the process is complete. Switch investment funds Change your funds without charge Our online investment service enables you to change your funds and contributions by type and amount and we don’t charge you for switching funds or making withdrawals. In exceptional circumstances there may be a delay in switching funds. Fair and transparent charges Our Investment Account charge is made up of two simple costs. There's our Aviva Charge, which is up to 0.40% of the value of your investments, calculated daily and charged monthly. And your Fund Manager Charge, which depends on the funds you pick. This charge is incorporated into the price of the fund rather than being taken out of your account. Here's an example of how much you'd pay in your first month for £1,000 invested in a ready-made fund with a fund charge of 0.35%. Our competitive Aviva charge Our charge is a percentage of your total investment, up to a maximum of 0.40% a year, and is based on how much you’ve invested with us. The more you invest, the lower the percentage you'll pay, as shown in the table. Invested value Annual Aviva charge First £50,000 0.40% Next £200,000 0.35% Next £250,000 0.25% Amount above £500,000 0% You can log into your account at any time to check your exact platform charge.

Explore the full range Tax you'll pay You may need to pay Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax on any returns or income you make from an investment account. So you might want to think about investing using a stocks & shares ISA as a first step. How much? The amount of Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax you pay depends on your personal circumstances. We'll pay interest to you gross, which means no income tax is deducted. You will have to settle any tax liability on interest income to HMRC. Dividends Any dividends we pay you from your investment will have no tax credit or Income Tax deducted. You're usually entitled to the Dividend Allowance, meaning you'll receive the first £2,000 of dividends reach year tax-free. But any dividend amount above that will be taxable. Gains We won’t make any deduction for Capital Gains Tax, but you may have Capital Gains Tax to pay (through self-assessment to HMRC) if your total gains in a tax year are higher than your annual allowance.
