Review of the Freetrade, Online share dealing:

Accessible investing

Freetrade made it much easier for me - a young investor with very limited capital and little family history of wealth - to test the waters of investing. It is fairly easy to use, and the Honey mailing list is full of useful information for investors. My main criticisms would be that (1) with high accessibility comes the risk of people gambling away their money without doing due diligence, (2) certain desirable stocks are unavailable to those who don't pay a subscription (which makes it slightly less accessible to new investors than I'd like). Others may also complain that the prices displayed lag a fair bit behind the markets - but this isn't really a problem for long-term investors. Would upgrade to 5 stars and 10/10 recommendation if Freetrade could expand a little on the education side, increase the proportion of free stocks and funds available, and improve the speed/effectiveness of customer service.
