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

5
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

I set up a SIPP and have not looked back - great investment Reviewed on: 6th January 2018

Excellent online platform and customer service

5
I hold 3 accounts with HL: a share and fund account, a stocks and shares ISA and a SIPP. I have always found the online platform very easy to navigate whether this is checking the performance of my investments or placing deals. It is very rare that I have had any queries or issues but when I have done I have always encountered prompt and effective customer service. Finally the website contains a wealth of historical and current information and news to inform investment planning. HL are highly recommended. Reviewed on: 5th July 2017
