HI Guys I have read FAQ’s and Support sent me a link but i find it a little confusing. I am transferring these funds from Vanguard VHVG & VFEG directly into IE no cash direct transfer. My understanding was the fund fee is taken by Vanguard out of each fund. I am doing a DIY for now so my fees i believed would be zero. But from the links it mentions see [HERE](https://help.investengine.com/hc/en-gb/articles/4911215488285-When-are-the-fees-deducted-from-my-InvestEngine-account-) is this ust for Mangaed Accounts ? ---

HI @noname Cheers for help i think the support just throw in all links even when i asked about DIY only! I guess they try to cover everything but in general they are very helpful. Do you need to autobalance these funds i thought VG did this yearly inside the fund! ---

Hey there, the FAQ you’ve linked is for managed portfolios. We’ll review this information, to make it clearer to avoid further confusion. If you’ve opened and invested in a DIY portfolio, you will not be charged any management fees by InvestEngine. ---

As you say Vanguard will charge a fund fee. It is built into the fund cost so you won’t see it listed as a fee. Invest Engine do not charge any fees for their DIY offering. ---

Hi, for clarification, my understanding: even for DIY’ers, the Annual Costs & Charges Report will list fund costs - but they have already been paid for from within the funds, rather than as a separate charge. It appears as a weighted average against the account, not a per-fund charge. (It is a requirement under Mifid2 regulations, so will be included) See these helps :- [What is the Report](https://help.investengine.com/hc/en-gb/articles/12004815120797-What-is-the-InvestEngine-Annual-Costs-and-Charges-Report-) [Individual ETF charges?](https://help.investengine.com/hc/en-gb/articles/12004719095709-Can-I-find-information-about-individual-ETF-costs-in-the-report-) If you want to check whether InvestEngine charges you directly, check in MORE \> TRANSACTIONS - DIYers won’t see any listed here. ---

IE DIY charge no platform fee… Every ETF has a OCF % charge which is built into the price you pay for the share… There is also a bid-offer spread fee each time you buy a share of an ETF… average is about 0.07% If you stick to liquid ETFs, like VUAG, VUSA then the transactions are slick.
