Last chance to trade free at Alliance Trust’s summer sale

Alliance Trust Savings, the share dealing expert, is urging investors to act now and take advantage of its summer sale investment dealing offer. The offer, available until 28 September 2007 across Alliance Trust’s dealing, ISA, PEP and Self Select SIPP accounts, enables existing and new customers to purchase UK listed shares online commission free and pay just £5 commission for their online share sales.

Since the introduction of the offer on 9 July, Alliance Trust’s online sharedealing platform has seen a 48% increase in daily trades, all of which have benefited from the summer sale charging structure. After the 28 September the service will go back to a competitive flat rate of £12.50 for any purchase or sale regardless of size, and no up-front or annual account administration charges.

Alliance Trust’s online share dealing service offers real-time trading and intelligent features like single page trading, income management, and access to a range of dynamic research tools that investors can personalise to suit their individual needs.

Claudia Philips, Managing Director of Investment Dealing at Alliance Trust Savings, says, “This summer may have proved a wash out in terms of the weather, but online share dealers have certainly enjoyed favourable conditions. It was interesting that the majority of traders saw recent market volatility as a buying opportunity, and our summer sale offer has made this a financially rewarding period for investors to review their portfolios. People who sign up today could be up and trading by tomorrow, leaving them several days of commission free purchases and heavily discounted sales.”
