Selftrade, an execution-only stockbroker, has announced two offers for new customers opening an account before 30 November.

Three months' commission-free trading on up to 100 trades will be offered to customers opening a dealing account, shares ISA, self-invested personal pension (SIPP) dealing account or child trust fund. 

Investors opening a SIPP dealing account will also be offered a £100 discount on trustee fees.

David Jeal, head of product management at Selftrade, said the broad nature of the free trading offer allowed customers 'to choose from the wide range of investment options available from Selftrade'.

He added, 'For investors taking over the running of their pension, perhaps from a fund manager, the free trades provide an ideal opportunity to get their SIPP set up in a way they want.'

The offer does not apply to Selftrade's existing customers and is only valid for purchases and sales made online or via telephone. 

Investors can access UK and international equities, gilts and bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded commodities (ETCs), Unit Trusts and open-ended investment companies (OEICs) through a dealing account and can also trade within a Shares ISA or SIPP.  

However, Selftrade warned investors that risk remained despite the free trading offer.
