A wise choice for investments.

I looked at a number of investment platforms before deciding on AJ Bell. Their open approach to investing made it very easy to understand how to Invest and what areas of investment one may choose. It could be shares, isa, cash, etf funds etc. The straight forward explanation of fees is easy to understand and the investment platform is very easy to use. I don't use a phone to invest so I don't know what AJ Bell's platform is like; bit I can say the computer or Tablet format is great for me. One of the best things with AJ Bell is the weekly Shares magazine and the fact one is not plagued with emails all day. The daily market report is short and sweet, and you can always dig deeper if required. Read more Read less

Child ISA can just be left alone to grow and grow. Can be difficult to set up a regular investment and change direct debits etc. Easy to view performance via the online platform Read more Read less

The fee is low if into the portfolio there are only funds. Slightly more expensive with etf and shares. With pensions is better to invest in funds only. It's offered also a wide variety of already made portfolio. Read more Read less

    Inexpensive and a decent web interface.

    Tidy web interface, especially if one has multiple accounts. Fees are halved for regular traders. No more than £3.50/month standing charges.

    So easy to use.

    I looked at many dealing websites before choosing AJ Bell. Weekly shares magazine is excellent and AJ Bell emails are not over the top. Always a joy to read.
