When will I get my free share?
We will award your free share within 30 days of funding your SIPP account or completing the transfer in of at least £5,000.
To qualify for this giveaway, pension transfers must be initiated by 28th February 2021. The free share is yours for as long as you want it unless you transfer out or close your Freetrade SIPP within a year of opening it, in which case the value of the share awarded will be required to be repaid. Terms apply.
Where will I get my free share?
Your free share will land in your General Investment Account (GIA).
Why does the free share have to go into my General Investment Account?
For tax reasons, we’re not able to place your free share into your SIPP.
What happens if I close my Freetrade SIPP within a year of opening?
You will forfeit your free share, or the amount equal to the value of the free share at the time of awarding. You will have to repay this amount to Freetrade.
I already have a pension account elsewhere, can I transfer it?
You’ll normally be able to transfer your pension from a different provider (subject to terms and conditions). There will be no fees from us for doing so, though your provider may charge you exit fees. It is up to you to ensure this is the right thing for you to do, with the help of a financial adviser, if required. Alternatively, you can choose to have a Freetrade SIPP as well as another pension plan.
1. This promotion of free shares is only offered on the understanding that you will only apply for a Freetrade SIPP, make contributions to it, and request any transfers to be made from other pension plans on the basis that you believe, with the help of a financial adviser if required, that these are the right actions for you to take. This requires you to read and understand the Freetrade SIPP Key Features Document, Terms and Conditions, Charges Schedule and Application Declarations.
2. A free share will only be gifted to you if you add your payment card details for the monthly SIPP subscription charge and contribute a minimum of £5,000 or initiate one or more pension transfers worth a minimum of £5,000 by 28th February 2022.
3. The exact reward free share will be awarded at Freetrade’s discretion, however not less in value than £100.
4. If you close your Freetrade SIPP or withdraw all of your funds within a year of opening a Freetrade SIPP account, you will forfeit your free share or the amount equal to the value of the free share at the time of awarding.
