A simple way to start investing
ETFs are a quick way to get started on your investment journey as they can give you access to a wide range of investment types with just one fund.
An ETF simply tracks a set of investments (shares, bonds or commodities). They’re grouped together into themes such as countries or sectors.
- With just a few ETFs you can create a low-cost, diversified portfolio.
- ETFs are generally cheaper than funds and exempt from stamp duty, and are eligible for your ISA.
Our ETF Quicklist
With our ETF Quicklist you can:
- add new investment themes to your portfolio such as technology, healthcare or sustainability
- keep an eye on the investment opportunities with quarterly reports from iShares by BlackRock
- stay up to date with what’s trending in the world of ETFs.
We offer a competitive platform for ETFs:
- simple charges with no hidden fees
- no annual account charge
- £5 trading commission.

Please remember that the value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invest. If you’re not sure about investing, seek financial advice. There will normally be a charge for that advice. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

Important information
Not a recommendation or advice
The ETF Quicklist aims to provide customers of the Scottish Widows Share Dealing platform with a selection of ETFs that offer exposure to different themes and markets. These ETFs have been selected by BlackRock using the following criteria which has been provided by Scottish Widows Share Dealing.
Each ETF must align with the Scottish Widows Share Dealing target market for UK Retail customers on a non-advised and on an execution only basis and Scottish Widows Share Dealing asset policy – including the ETFs must be: (a) registered for marketing into the UK for retail investors, (b) be able to be traded on the London Stock Exchange and (c) have a physical replicating strategy only.
The ETF Quicklist may also contain Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs) which are subject to the same criteria.
How we work with BlackRock
BlackRock will review the ETF Quicklist at least each calendar quarter to ensure the selected ETFs continue to meet the criteria that has been provided by Scottish Widows Share Dealing.
The availability of the ETFs, via the Scottish Widows Share Dealing platform, is not deemed to be the provision of investment advice for Scottish Widows customers. The Scottish Widows Share Dealing platform is an execution only platform and, therefore, Scottish Widows does not give advice to its customers. Customers who are not sure about investing must seek independent advice which may be chargeable.
Customers of the Scottish Widows Share Dealing platform are clients of Scottish Widows, not clients of BlackRock. BlackRock is not providing any investment advice for Scottish Widows and/or its customers.
Market events can be unpredictable which may impact fund performance and therefore performance of the ETFs selected for the platform cannot be guaranteed.
