Transfer investments to Fidelity

Important information - investment values can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you invest. SIPP/ISA eligibility and tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules may change. Before transferring a pension, compare all the benefits, charges and features and always seek financial advice if you’re unsure. Before making your decision, please read our transfer guide, which explains the options available and gives you the information you need to know.

Let’s make life simpler

Transfer ISAs, pensions, investment accounts, or junior accounts to manage them quickly and easily all in one place.

We do the hard work

Give us details of the account you want to transfer and we’ll do the rest.

Exit fee cover

We cover any exit fees your current provider may charge, up to £500 per person. *T&Cs apply.

Keep your tax benefits

Your allowance isn’t affected when you transfer a pension or ISA.

Transfer an account to Fidelity

Read more about what you can transfer and how it will work.

Transfer ISAs

Having multiple ISAs can be complicated and costly. We make it easy to start your transfer and bring your ISAs together.

Transfer junior ISAs

Transfer your junior ISAs over to us and start building up tax-free savings for your child’s future in a simple and cost-effective way.

Transfer pensions

Bringing your pensions together into a SIPP could make them easier to manage.

Transfer junior SIPPs

If you’re building a nest egg for a child’s future, as well as planning your own retirement, bringing all accounts under one roof could help you plan your family’s collective future more effectively.

Transfer investment accounts

Having investments spread across multiple companies can be time consuming and costly. Bringing them together means less stress and less paperwork.

Transfer your US Stock Plan Account held with Fidelity SPS

Bring over your Stock Plan Account shares held in the US with Fidelity Stock Plan Services (SPS) and keep them as they are or diversify and choose from a wide range of investment products and services.

Important information

You cannot normally access money in a pension until age 55 (57 from 2028). Withdrawals from a Junior ISA are not possible until the child reaches age 18. Before making your decision, please read our pension transfer factsheet. This explains the things you need to consider before you transfer, including fully comparing the benefits, charges and features offered. Pension rules apply. Seek advice from Fidelity's advisers or another authorised financial adviser if you're unsure.

If you are looking to transfer a pension to us that you have already taken money from (and so are in income drawdown), you can't do this online. Please contact Fidelity’s retirement service to get an application form.

If you hold cash in the account that you are transferring to us, this will be moved across and held as cash in your Fidelity account.

If you’re planning on moving shares to us, please keep in mind that you can only transfer shares that we offer. You can check this at the start of the transfer process. 

Here’s what will happen if you request a transfer to us and you have shares that we don’t offer:

Shares held in an ISA 

We will sell them and bring them across as cash. 

Shares held in an investment account 

You will need to sell them before you request your transfer. The proceeds can then be sent to us as cash. This may trigger a Capital Gains tax liability, so please speak to a tax adviser before you sell.

Shares held overseas  

If you have US stocks, you'll need to complete a new W-8BEN form within two weeks of the date you submitted the transfer instruction. Fidelity is required by the US to have a new W-8BEN form even if you submitted a form with your previous provider. 

Depending on how your existing provider administers your overseas shares, we may not be able to transfer these investments to Fidelity as they are. If this is the case, we may sell these shares and deposit the proceeds as cash in your account to exclude them from the transfer. 

We can only transfer cash in sterling (GBP) to your Fidelity account. If there is any other currency held in your account with your current provider, you'll need to ensure this is converted into sterling before transferring the cash to your Fidelity account. 

Going paperless could simplify how you manage your investments. If you hold paper certificates, you may want to consider transferring them into an Investment Account.

If you hold electronic share certificates with Equiniti, Computershare or Link Asset Services, you can transfer them into an Investment Account. Simply complete the corporate nominee transfer instruction form and send it to Fidelity International, PO Box 391, Tadworth, KT20 9FU. 

You will also need to open an Investment Account with us if you don't already have one. Please keep in mind that you’ll need to make a one-off payment or start a regular savings plan to open an account.

Please contact your registrar (Equiniti, Computershare or Link Asset Services) to find out if you need anything else to complete the transfer (such as additional exit fees).
