What happens to my investments when I close my Hargreaves Lansdown account?

You must sell all investments or transfer them out via an in-specie transfer before closing. HL supports transfers to other providers (e.g., ISA transfers), which means you don't have to sell your holdings if you want to move to another platform.

Are there exit fees for closing a Hargreaves Lansdown account?

HL charges exit fees for transferring investments out: £25 per holding for shares/ETFs (capped at £25 per account type). There's no fee if you sell all investments and withdraw cash before closing.

How long does it take to close a Hargreaves Lansdown account?

Cash withdrawals are processed within 2–3 business days. In-specie transfers can take 15–30 business days depending on the receiving platform. Full account closure after all funds are withdrawn typically takes 5–10 business days.

Noturēšanas padomi

Before closing your Hargreaves Lansdown account, consider that HL doesn't charge a monthly subscription fee — you only pay fund management fees (0.45% for funds, capped at £45/year for shares). HL is one of the UK's most trusted investment platforms with 1.8 million clients. If you're concerned about costs, you could switch your portfolio to low-cost index funds or ETFs to reduce annual fees. Would you like to explore that option before closing?
