Following each investment, you will receive contract notes for each of the tracker funds/ETFs/stocks confirming the trade. These can be found in Settings > Account documents > Contract notes.

Contract notes include a lot of information, so we've provided a summary of each heading below 👇 If you’re interested in finding out more about what’s included, please just get in touch with the team and they’ll provide some more information!

Client Name: you should see your own name here.

Fund/Stock Name: this will be the fund or stock to which the particular contract note relates. You will receive contract notes for each of the tracker funds and stocks you invest in.

Reference: this is just a unique reference to identify the specific contract note.

Sedol: this is the 'Stock Exchange Daily Official List' code, which is the 7-digit alphanumeric reference for the particular listed security.

Deal Type: This will either be 'purchased' or 'sold'. The purchases reflect investments into your ISA/GIA/LISA, and the sales reflect your investments that you have requested to sell.

Trade date: This is the date that the trade was actually made.

Trade time: This is the time on the trade date above, that the trade was made.

Settlement Date: This will be a date usually between 1 and 4 business days after the trade date and reflects the date that we receive the 'trade confirmation' from the particular fund for that trade.

Product: This is the product where your money is invested, so currently the options we provide are either an ISA (including a Junior ISA), a GIA, or a Lifetime ISA.

Order Type: This is the nature of your transaction order. In the case of all your transactions in the app, they will be 'market', which reflects an order to buy or sell at the market bid or offer price.

Venue ID: This reflects where the transaction was executed. If you are buying or selling a tracker fund/ETF then this will say ‘via Fund manager’ or if you are trading a stock this will say ‘Multiple’.

Unit/Share Quantity: This is how many units in that particular fund you have purchased (or sold).

Unit/Share Price: This is how much 1 x unit of that particular fund costs at the point of purchase (or sale).

If you invest in US stocks, you’ll also see the following:

Currency conversion rate: This shows you the exchange rate that was used to execute your trade.

Currency conversion fee (0.45%): This shows you in pounds and pence what was charged as a currency conversion fee for this transaction.
