Press Release Body =
SIT is one of the few providers with a capped ISA pricing structure for the benefit of investors. The SIT ISA boasts no initial charge (there is no initial plan charge or dealing charge; external expenses, government stamp duty of 0.5% and dealing spread which has averaged 0.9% over the last 3 years, apply) and the annual charge is only 0.6% which is capped at £30 + VAT, no matter how much the investment grows or how many years' ISA allowances are invested with SIT. The 0.6% charge benefits small investors who, for example, would only pay £6 for an investment valued at £1,000 while the £30 + VAT cap favours those with an investment valued at £7,000. Investors often overlook the effect of high charges on returns but those with large ISA investments can make sizeable savings by choosing their ISA provider carefully.
