Bestinvest provide a number of services but I utilise their S&S ISA. They provide at least one free 'coaching' session to help you set goals. This is obviously trying to set up regular advice but is fairly invaluable for newer investors/savers. They have an incredibly large pool of investments and their own Evelyn smart portfolios as well. Main drawbacks are fees - there is a shared dealing fee, and a relatively high 0.4% management fee (reduced on balance or with their Evelyn products). They also carry a slightly more dated interface than some newer platforms but I would say I prefer it over something like AJ Bells default. Read more Read less

I had a SIPP and an ISA with Bestinvest for many years and was quite happy. The choice of investments was wide and varies and web site easy to use until they updated it last year. Now it is difficult to see what you want because of annoying pop ups. it was only when I wanted to transfer out of BI that I discovered that their customer service is diabolically slow, condescending and ego-centric. They simply don’t give a dam and haven’t learnt how to say sorry for getting things so terribly wrong. I am now pleased that I moved my funds and hope that its not out of the frying pan and into the fire. Read more Read less

I was defrauded by this company on two separate occasions. Fortunately, I received assistance from a recovery service recommended by a trusted friend who had also incurred substantial financial losses from the same scam. After reaching out to the firm, they clearly outlined the required documentation and provided guidance on how to identify fraudulent organizations. By following their instructions, I was able to recover my funds totaling $493,730 within two days. I am extremely relieved and appreciative of the outcome. I had intended to share the company’s website here; however, they chose not to make it publicly available. If you have also been affected, you may contact them via email at: yellenjanet387 @ gmail.com Read more Read less
