A minimum Platform fee of £48 per year for people with less than £32,000 in their account is just not on. I thought that they would scrap the Platform Fee to remain competitive with other platforms instead the introduced a minimum of £4 per month. They do not compete with others. They will lose a lot of customers for doing this. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2025

Low Fee Index Investing - The Best in the Business

Dabbled in specific funds but eventually settled on Lifestrategy Fund - set it and forget it and still low fees. Not as whizzy on their UX as some providers (please give us an app!) but does the job and without fanfare. Reviewed on: 18th January 2023

I like the simple, relatively low, fee structure. They offer a fairly small list of funds which makes choosing easier. Reviewed on: 12th February 2022
