Also called as Sippdeal, Youinvest currently has a fund charge of 0.2%, capped at £50 per quarter for consumers.

The new pricing structure will compare to its current rate of £12.50 per quarter, according to Investment Week.

However, AJ Bell has no plans to introduce any annual charge cap on its adviser platform SIPP Centre, which now has an uncapped 0.2% annual custody charge.

Investment Week quoted Billy Mackay, marketing director AJ Bell, saying, "The products are very different, the underlying investor ranges are very different, and the tools are very different between the two platforms. We are providing a service for a different market via Youinvest."
