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

Legendary investing giant for the average joe.

Vanguard has allowed me to invest in diversified funds easily and cheaply. I belive they have always had the average person in mind when creating financial products like the index fund. And more recently lifestrategy and target retirement products. They're always trying to bring investing to the masses with fair prices, low barrier to entry but under a strong brand you can trust.

Vanguard is very customer focused, they don’t have a fancy app, aren’t constantly pushing content in your face. Instead they provide a safe, secure platform which helps individuals to grow their investments. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021
