Terms and conditions for re-imbursement of exit fees

This offer does not apply to any investments linked to an Adviser / Intermediary or third party.

Fidelity will reimburse the exit/redemption fees charged to a customer by their former provider/s when they move their investments (minimum of £1,000) to Fidelity, up to a maximum amount of £500 per customer.

An exit fee is an administration charge which is imposed by the former provider and arises directly as a result of processing the transfer or re-registration of the customer’s investments to Fidelity. Fidelity will not reimburse the customer for any loss of investment returns, loss of interest, dealing charges, penalties for transferring investments before their maturity dates or any other charges associated with your transfer or re-registration.

Where a re-registration or transfer is not possible and the customer chooses to sell their investments held through another provider and subsequently make new investment/s (minimum £10,000) through Fidelity, Fidelity will cover any account closure fees charged by the customer’s former provider (excluding any dealing charges) of up to £500 per customer. Fidelity will not cover any bid-offer spreads or any capital gains tax liability arising as a result of these transactions.

Exit and account closure fees reimbursement must be claimed within a 6 month period from date of transfer of the customer’s investments to Fidelity. Exit fees will be reimbursed for transfers and re-registrations and account closure fees will be reimbursed provided the conditions above are met. Products included: ISAs, PEPs, Unit Trusts, OEICs, SICAVs, Fidelity Personal Pension, EBS SIPP and the Fidelity SIPP. Products excluded: ShareNetwork.

To qualify for the reimbursement, the fees from the customer’s former provider must have been triggered as a direct result of the transfer or re-registration to Fidelity, or the closure of an account where the customer has subsequently (within 6 months) invested at least £10,000 through Fidelity. If the customer is transferring investments to more than one provider from their former provider at the same time, Fidelity will only reimburse the fees which are incurred as a result of direct transfer or re-registration to Fidelity. Other fees or charges unconnected with the transfer will not be reimbursed.

The completed Exit Fee Reimbursement Form and documentary evidence of the charge will need to be provided in order for the exit fees to be reimbursed to the customer. To claim the reimbursement of any account closure fees, documentary evidence of the closure fee levied will need to be provided to Fidelity, along with confirmation that a minimum of £10,000 has been invested with Fidelity within 6 months of incurring such closure fee.

The documentary evidence referred to above, must be either a copy of the charge confirmation letter from the former provider or a statement showing the charge being deducted.

Payment will be made to the customer by BACS when a bank mandate is held on the account. Alternatively, payment will be made by cheque.

Thank you. Your offer registration has been received.

Important notice about the proposed protected age for pension benefits
 
The minimum age that most customers can access their pension benefits is currently age 55, however, the Government is proposing to increase this to 57 from 6th April 2028. The Government has outlined its proposals in a consultation document which can be found here.
 
In the consultation the Government proposes that existing pension members, as at 11th February 2021, can have their retirement age of 55 protected for pension benefits in that particular scheme.  
 
When a customer transfers their pension to or from another scheme the current proposals state that the protected retirement age would be lost. 
 
In addition to this, customers who will be 55 after 6th April 2028, and open a pension after the 11th February 2021, could have to wait until they are at least 57 before accessing their pension savings without incurring additional tax charges (unless they are taking their pension due to ill-health).
 
As this is a consultation, it is not yet certain that the Government will go ahead with its proposals as outlined.

Important notice: The Government is consulting on potential changes to the age you can access your pension.

The minimum age that most customers can access their pension benefits is currently age 55, however, the Government is proposing to increase this to 57 from 6th April 2028. The Government’s consultation document and consultation responses can be found here. Some customers may retain the right to draw benefits before age 57, however, this is dependent on the rules of their scheme as at 11th February 2021. Additionally, when a customer transfers their pension to or from another scheme, individual transfers may not be protected from the increase in the normal minimum pension age.

On the 11 February 2021 the Fidelity SIPP scheme rules stated that scheme members can access their benefits from age 55. Therefore, based on the information provided to date it is our current understanding that our pension would offer a right to access pension benefits at 55. This understanding will be formally reviewed once the full legislation and Government guidance is available.

We will publish further information on our website and in our scheme literature once the Government has published final legislation and guidance.
