Hi There,
I have a reasonable level of investor knowledge and am close to retirement.
I am stunned at some of the charges for creating/maintaining an ARF and the buy/sell spreads on the fund options once you are in there.
For example, on my eToro trading account, I am charged 0.32% (not a typo) on the buy / sell spreads for most ETFs whereas I see up to 5% on the buy/sell spreads on the fund options within ARFs which are essentially tracking index funds.
What I am looking for here is an ARF with minimal setup and annual charges and the ability to trade ETFs within the ARF with reasonable buy/sell spreads.
Does anyone know of such a thing or even something close to it?
Many thanks
Regards Joe
