@Brigitte and Jo While Carolin's answer is certainly not wrong, I am a bit puuzled as to why Brigitte did not mention one of the comments made at the other question (but I very much appreciate you linking the old query, Brigitte):
"Terry Moran: Definitely US English rather than UK, but I don't have an alternative suggestion"

A) I think he's right and B) I do have an alternative term: "trail commission"

Please see:
https://www.fca.org.uk/consumers/trail-commission
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/money-sav...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_commission

LEO, dict.cc & other databases (i.e., websites that pretend to be dictionaries, but where there is no real oversight) typically give little indication as to the EN variant in which a word is used and I believe Jo needs it in BrE.

However, Jo, please be aware (not sure whether you need it):
"They have already been banned in other jurisdictions, most notably the United Kingdom and Australia."

[Yes, CAN calls it "trailer fees" again, much like its southern neighbor]

Agree with Caroline Hörl I agree with "trailer fee". Maybe you could add this as an answer, Caroline.

At the bank we always translated Bestandsprovision as trailer fee. Maybe this will help?

Portfolio and account-turnover fee

Same thing?
Note from asker:
Thanks Harris. After googling a good deal around your helpful suggestion, I may well go with simply 'portfolio fee', but will hang on over the weekend before deciding.
