Fund Supermarket
Top Managers, Top Funds, Best Value!
With the Alliance Trust Savings Fund Supermarket you and your clients can buy and sell funds from a wide range of fund management groups online, by telephone or by post
We offer some of the best terms of any Fund Supermarket and we are continuously increasing our fund range to bring you a wider selection of investments on our easy-to-use platform. You can access the full range of our funds in our List of Funds.
Discounted initial charges
We have negotiated fully discounted initial charges on most funds available through our Fund Supermarket making the total initial subscription price lower in many cases. This could give your clients a significant saving. For example, as illustrated in the table below, a 5% discount on a standard initial charge of 5% would save £360 if the full amount of the annual £7,200 ISA subscription was invested in funds.

Money Back
We also pay back to your clients all the commission we receive from the fund management groups whose funds they invest in and hold on our platform. No other fund supermarket in the UK currently does this.
Rebate amounts will vary from fund to fund, and over time can add up to a substantial amount. The amount of rebate payable on each fund can be found in the List of Funds. The table below shows some examples of the potential value of rebates based on a number of illustrative portfolio values and rebate rates.

*For illustration purposes only. The amount of any rebate received will vary with any fluctuations in the value of funds held, the rate of rebates applied to the funds held and the calculation methodology used by individual fund managers.
Payment of rebates
Rebate payments for funds your clients have invested in will be made into their Account after we receive them from the fund manager.
Rebate payments will always be made into an Account that your clients hold with us in their own name.
However, rebate payments may be made to different Account destinations, depending on the type of Account in which funds are invested.
Payments may be made to us at different intervals, depending on the fund manager involved – monthly, quarterly, six monthly, or annually. Details of the frequency of rebate payments made by each fund manager are included in the List of Funds, so you will generally know at what frequencies you should expect to receive your rebates.
