Valuations and account detailsWe can provide you with access to the platform so that you can see the details of your clients’ Wrap assets. This access level will not allow you to carry out transactions online but it will allow you to see the full details, including current valuations, for the clients’ assets any time that you log in. We will also give this view only access to your clients if they ask. Any time that you, or they, require valuation information or details of their holdings, transactions etc, these can be obtained online.

Getting view only access to WrapOnce we have verified your appointment by a Wrap client (see section 5), you can get access to Wrap by sending an email to [email protected] with details of your name, your firm’s name and address, agency code, email address and the client’s Wrap account number(s) that you want to view. You must also sign our Adviser Terms and Conditions (Wrap65nwe) and agree to our Intermediary Terms of Business. You will be given a user name and password and provided with a URL to view the platform (www.standardlifewrap.com). When logging into Wrap, you can use either the user ID and password we send you or your Unipass if that is a service that you use.

What you see when you log inWhen you first log into the platform you will be taken to the To Do tab if there is outstanding activity, such as an unpaid adviser charge, that requires your attention. If there are no current alerts, you will be taken to either the client search screen (if you have more than one Wrap client) or directly into your Wrap client’s account.

Client portfolio summaryThis is the main valuation screen:

The dates and views are alterable. The values that we show are based on the most recent fund prices available at the time you log in. Generally these will be from the prior business day valuation point.

1. Account informationWe can provide you with view only access to Wrap by following a couple of steps detailed below.

This is a nine digit reference number that starts with WP

Individual, Joint or Trust account


Client portfolio detailThis screen shows you the fund by fund valuations for the date you select:

The fund value (MV) displayed here is the most recent we have at the time you log in. The cost is the average price paid for the specific units held – this is not necessarily the true cost for CGT purposes: if the fund holding has been converted or was transferred to Wrap, the true CGT cost could be very different.

The Quantity field shows the current position – this is hyperlinked, clicking on this value will display the underlying transaction in this fund:


Performance summary

Performance detailThis screen shows the fund by fund performance over the date range specified.

2. Performance screensTo understand easily performance reports for your clients’ holdings, the following sections show you the depth of information available.

Performance functionalityThe key performance screens are the Performance Summary and Performance Detail screens which show how the client’s investments have performed over any date range. The screens allow you to select individual products, any date range and a ‘from inception’ option to see performance over the lifetime of the account:

(GBP) £525,946.27 This is the value of the portfolio on the start date you selected

Portfolio Values as at 23-Jan-2014 (GBP) £538,500.29 Value of the portfolio at the end date selected

This is a simple, easy to understand, money in money out table with a return basis.


The Realised and Unrealised Gain Loss figures do not take into account the CGT rules and should not be used for tax planning or tax returns.

All gains and losses are calculated based on the most current fund values that we hold – these are not necessarily the prices at which you will be able to sell these investments. Actual gains and losses may therefore vary.

Performance

3. IncomeThe Income tab is made up of Interest, Accumulation Fund Distributions (non cash), Equity Dividends and Tax and allows you to view at Wrap account or product level over any date range.


The charges that apply to your client’s Wrap investmentsWrap charges have two components:

Platform charge tiered between 0.10% and 0.35% per annum and calculated monthly based on the value of platform eligible assets* in your client’s Wrap account.

Product administration charge tiered between 0% and 0.15% (Bonds) and 0% to 0.05% (SIPP) per annum and calculated monthly based on the value of platform eligible assets* held in your client’s SIPP, Onshore Bond and International Portfolio Bond.

You can see the charge rates that apply to your client’s account by looking at the Client/Charges/Charge Schedules screen. In the first part we show the product administration charge:

Product administration charge

In the example shown, there would be a 0.05% charge on the value of all platform eligible assets* held in the client’s SIPP and 0.15% charge on the value of all platform eligble assets held in the client’s Onshore Bond and International Portfolio Bond.

The product administration charge is calculated on a snapshot basis using the rate applicable on the third day of each calendar month and based on the value of platform eligible assets* on the last calendar day of the previous month held in your clients’ SIPP, Onshore Bond or International Portfolio Bond. The charge will be applied on the fifth day of each month.

In the second part, we show the platform charge:

Platform charge

In the example above, the client will pay a charge of 0.35% on the £249,999.99 of platform eligible assets* in the client’s Wrap cash account and Wrap products; a charge of 0.25% on the next £500,000 of platform eligible assets* a charge of 0.15% on the next £250,000 of platform eligible assets* … and so on.

The platform charge is calculated using the rate applicable on the third day of each calendar month and based on the value of your client’s platform eligible assets* on the last calendar day of the previous month. The charge is applied on the fifth calendar day of each month. The platform charge may be reduced depending on the combined value of platform eligible assets* held in your client’s Wrap account and in the linked Wrap accounts of their close family, spouse or civil partner.

4. Wrap chargesYou can view platform and product administration charges easily on Wrap. The following sections show you how.


The charges are applied by deduction to the client’s product cash accounts for the SIPP and International Portfolio Bond, and in the case of the Onshore Bond, by cancelling units proportionally across all policies in your client’s Onshore Bond. For ISA, Personal Portfolio and the Wrap cash account, the charge is deducted from the Wrap cash account; where insufficient cash is available at the time the charge is calculated a disinvestment may be carried out and the disinvestment may be for a greater value than the outstanding charge. * platform eligible investments are cash in the Wrap cash account, in the portfolio cash account,

in the cash wrap ISA and the cash accounts for each Wrap product your client holds and all investments in your client’s Wrap account (with the exception of listed securities in your client’s SIPP) which are held and/or managed on the Wrap platform, including investments in a managed portfolio, and excluding off platform assets and legacy assets.

Additional charges apply for investments held in SIPP and International Portfolio Bond as well as for particular activities such as dealing in equities. More details of these additional charges can be found in the Wrap Services Client Terms and Conditions (Wrap66) and on the Adviserzone site.


Before we can do anythingWe will need a letter of authority from your client to confirm that we are able to take instructions for their account from you.

Making changes to your client’s personal detailsYou or your client can notify changes to us in writing (see How To Contact Us) by email or by telephone. We will need to complete some security checks in order to carry out certain types of change and we may also require documentary evidence for things like changes to bank details.

Making changes to your client’s investmentsWe will carry out certain changes – buys, sells or switches – to your client’s investments on request. In order to carry out these transactions accurately and efficiently, we do need you to give us clear and complete instructions using the template found at the end of this guide.

As Wrap is an online service and requires specific declarations to be made online by the adviser it is not possible to open new products for clients who do not have a Wrap‑enabled adviser. This includes opening new ISAs. You can however add, change or remove payments to existing ISA, Personal Portfolio and SIPP products.

Making changes to your client’s SIPP contributionsFor changes to ongoing regular contributions (increase/decrease or a change to investment): please allow at least 10 working days when informing us. This will allow us to make the necessary changes in time for the contributions to be collected in a timely manner. If there is more than one payer and you are changing the investment instruction which involve Standard Life insured fund(s) then the same insured fund(s) and percentage need to be selected for each payer.

New payer/change to existing payer: Standard Life can only collect contributions once the completed direct debit instruction is received. It will then take up to 10 working days to activate the instruction with the bank. If you need to keep the same collection date but the direct debit has not been activated in time then we will submit a single payment for the current month and start the monthly contribution from the following month.

We need the following details when you send us an instruction regarding SIPP contributions:

1. Amount to be collected (net).

2. Contributions status (Individual, Employer gross or Salary Deduction).

3. Any changes to the investment selection. If you want to use different funds/different allocations to be used for this new instruction, please provide the full fund name, the fund code and percentage allocation for each fund.

4. Collection date and whether a single contribution is required for current month with regulars starting the following month. Collection date can be between the 1st and the 28th.

5. Frequency (monthly or yearly).

6. Adviser charge (specifically whether there is to be any change to the existing Ongoing Adviser Charging).

5. Making changesIf you require to make changes, you are limited to what you can do with view only access. Please let us know if you wish to upgrade to the full version of Wrap.


Adviser chargesWe may allow you to set up Initial Adviser Charge (for single payments); Ongoing Adviser Charge (a regular charge on the client’s Wrap products) and an Ad Hoc Adviser Charge (something you may apply on an occasional basis in respect of specific services provided to the client). There is a template which you can complete to tell us about the adviser charges you want us to pay (amount/percentage/product/date/frequency etc). The adviser charge template is at the end of this guide. It can be emailed to us at [email protected].

Instructing transfers to/from the platformAs Wrap is an online service and requires specific declarations to be made online by the adviser, it is not possible for clients who do not have a Wrap‑enabled adviser to transfer new assets to the Wrap platform. Clients are able to transfer certain assets from Wrap to other providers, assuming that the new provider is able to accept transfers. Some assets may only be transferable in cash.

Wrap interest ratesThe interest rate that applies to clients’ cash accounts is not fixed and may vary regularly. The relevant product provider also retains a margin of any interest received from the bank(s) in the form of a cash management administration charge. The current rates can be viewed at any time on the following website: www.standardlife.co.uk/wrapinfo. Interest is calculated daily and applied monthly. In the case of the Wrap cash account, portfolio cash account and Personal Portfolio, interest is applied net of a 20% tax deduction. We are not able to apply interest on these products gross. Interest on ISA, SIPP and International Portfolio Bond is applied gross.

CGT functionalityAs Wrap is an online service and requires specific declarations to be made online by the adviser, it is not possible to offer CGT services to clients who do not have a Wrap‑enabled adviser. The platform view only access service allows you to retrieve the information to calculate CGT manually.

RebalancingThe Wrap platform includes rebalance functionality but this is only available online to Wrap enabled advisers. We are not able to carry out rebalance instructions on your behalf. We will carry out your switch instructions if you complete and return the template at the end of this guide.


Documentation that we send to your clientWe will always make regular statements available to your client – quarterly for the ISA and Personal Portfolio; annually for their SIPP and Bond products. An electronic copy of these will be added to the Document Library that can be accessed via the platform.

Where the FCA has indicated that contract notes should be issued, we will post contract notes for any transactions carried out on your client’s Wrap account on the client’s Document Library, unless your client has opted to receive them by post.

If the client has an ISA with us, we will send them an annual ISA Declaration Notice reminding them of the terms that apply to an ISA.

If the client has received any “unwrapped” income – ie interest, dividends or distributions applied to either the Wrap Cash or Personal Portfolio accounts – in a given tax year then we will send them a Consolidated Tax Certificate after the end of that tax year, usually in June or July. This certificate itemises the income that has been applied to these products and should be used with any tax returns the client may complete.

Where there are any changes to our terms and conditions, interest rates or charges or where we are required to do so for regulatory reasons, we may have to contact your clients with details of these changes.
