With an excellent website and an easy to use app investing is made less complicated than other financial providers that were checked out before choosing HL. Charges have been cut fairly recently making all transactions easier on the pocket. Secure messages are dealt with promptly and information is up to date at all times. The range of investment opportunities is very wide and not tied to specific companies. The company is well established and the wealth of experience enablesHL to offer some branded investment opportunities that show both sector coverage and significant growth. Read more Read less

I have invested with HL for around 60 years and have always found their service excellent. For some years I used their Professional Management Service which included a detailed annual report. The PMS was not cheap but did provide me with sound guidance. HL are not the cheapest investment company but do provide a lot of useful investment data and ideas. I'm happy to be with them Read more Read less
