We're launching Mutual Funds gradually, giving access to an increasing number of clients over time rather than all at once. If you don't have access yet, you can join the waitlist directly from the app, and we'll notify you once it's your turn.
Mutual funds are available to UK residents only and are being rolled out gradually, so they may not be available to you yet. If you're eligible but don't have access yet, you can join the waitlist in the app and we'll let you know when access becomes available to you.
What is a waitlist, and why do I see “Join the waitlist” instead of “Buy”?
Mutual Funds are being rolled out in stages. The waitlist is a queue for access to mutual fund trading; it isn't specific to any one fund. Until your account has been granted access, you'll see a "Join the waitlist" button instead of "Buy" on a fund's page.
How do I join the waitlist?
Open a mutual fund's page, either directly or from your search results, and tap "Join the waitlist". Confirm that you'd like to join, and you'll be added to the waitlist straight away.
What happens after I join?
The button will update to show you've joined the waitlist. We'll notify you when you can start trading mutual funds. There's nothing else you need to do until then.
How are clients chosen to get access?
We're prioritising clients who've shown interest, and we manage the rollout pace ourselves. We apply this prioritisation consistently across waitlisted clients, so that access is granted fairly as the rollout expands. We can't give an exact date for when any individual account will be granted access.
Can I still browse mutual funds while I'm on the waitlist?
Yes. You can normally search for funds, view their price charts and details, and explore the range while you're awaiting access to mutual fund trading.
Can I place an order while I'm on the waitlist?
No. You'll be able to place buy and sell orders once mutual fund trading is available on your account.
Do I need to do anything outside the app to join?
No. The waitlist is entirely in-app; there's no separate website form or email sign-up.
Does joining the waitlist give me access to one fund or all of them?
Access applies to Mutual Funds as a whole on your account, not to individual funds. Once you have access, all funds we offer become available to you, subject to the normal eligibility rules for your account type.
Can everyone join the mutual funds waitlist?
No. Only clients who meet the eligibility requirements for mutual fund trading can join the waitlist. If you're not eligible, you can still search for mutual funds and view their details, but you won't see the "Join the waitlist" option.
For more information about eligibility, see "Which mutual funds are available on Trading 212?"
Can I join the waitlist while doing a Portfolio Transfer?
In some cases. If you're doing an Invest or ISA transfer (full or partial), or a partial SIPP transfer, and select a mutual fund you don't yet have access to, you'll be offered the option to join the waitlist directly in that flow. The fund itself won't be added to the transfer. It stays with your current provider, and you'll need to submit a new transfer request for it once you have access.
The exception is a full SIPP transfer: you won't be offered this option. Any mutual fund (even one we support) simply stays with your current pension provider until you have access, and you'll need to start a new transfer for it afterwards.
While a fund remains with your other provider, check what fees they charge for continuing to hold it there.
