Switching

Date: 26 October 2022

Full control over your clients’ investments

Our switching and portfolio rebalancing options give you full control over your clients’ investments. 

Prefunding and net trading

Switch trades are prefunded, reducing time out of the market and in most circumstances we apply net trading to minimise the number of units that are bought and sold to achieve your desired outcome.

Net trading does not apply if you are using our switch by asset options. It is therefore important that you familiarise yourself with the switching options explained below.

Options for switching on a client by client basis

Discover smarter switching for your clients’ investments

Our platform helps you switch with fewer trades, potentially lower costs, and less time out of the market for your clients.

The summary table below gives you a quick overview of our switching options.
