Hargreaves Lansdown Pension reviews (27)

Review of the Hargreaves Lansdown, Pension:

Fund and Share Account is excellent value

Web interface isn't the nicest, although nothing bad about it. Staff on the telephone are British and efficient at answering queries. Top marks to HL for welcome payments for transferring in Dealing accounts and SIPPs. £3500 received, so we'll happily stay with you for a while despite the £11.95 dealing fee and £200/yr standing charge. Note that the Fund and Share Account hs no standing charge for holding shares/IT/ETF/Bonds. Reviewed on: 18th July 2023

Easy to manage and economical

Easy to manage through app and website . Charges are the lowest with a wide variety of choices. A trusted brand too. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

Making investment easy

great offering & makes it super easy to control your pension investments based on your unique perspective & values. Reviewed on: 30th January 2022

Expensive

To be fair to HL their service tends to be good. You can call them and speak to them. But I have from time to time been given wrong information when I have messaged them. If they cut their forex charges for international shares they would be better value for money. I won‘t use their international dealing until they do this. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Great app

App is very easy to use. Expensive trading platform Reviewed on: 1st September 2021

No nonsense customer orientated large firm

I know I need to read their share reports - not HL's fault that I'm lax there. Regret never received a reward* e.g. for introducing a valued client (now deceased) earlier this century - neither financial nor even a pen set. *Excluding loyalty bonus(es). Reviewed on: 4th August 2021

Simple and accessible

The app makes it so easy to quickly manage money, view your investments and top up as needed. It’s put my retirement savings at the forefront of my daily scrolling! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Great service, great platform

Worth paying the extra over other providers for the brilliant service. Reviewed on: 27th February 2021

Pensions & Investment

HL provide a wide range of investments to help me gain the best from my meagre pension fund. Steady, reliable income with capital growth is what I need and thus, is provided with efficiency. Reviewed on: 6th July 2020

Do it yourself

I like it that you can choose your own investments and it is so easy to build your portfolio and change it around as you wish. HL provide easy to understand information on the various investments they recommend but if you like to shop around and read information from other sources you can opt for them too and mix and match. Easy to view and check how your investments are performing. Help is at hand if you need it; their customer service is second to none and you never have to wait on the phone. Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

Go with a SIPP

if you're not getting the full UK Pension top up with a SIPP - worth more overall..... Reviewed on: 24th April 2019
