Cut-price fruit, Russian oligarchs and Gary Coleman
A wee roundup of some of the recent moves in direct platform pricing land. Pretty much everyone is in now bar one or two of the white labels who are working out what to do in the Land of Glorious Transparency which is what we are living in and all that. First up, Chelsea went […]
What’s both super and clean? SUPERCLEAN!
Just a short ‘un on HL’s new shiny Wealth 150+. You can read all about it all over the place so we won’t do a big list of all the funds here. But a couple of interesting things have popped up. First, naturally, a few folk have been looking for dodgy wheezes – us included […]

The duck test
Ducks are straightforward creatures and there is very little confusion or debate involved in whether or not you have seen one. Such is this clarity of recognition that ducks have become a benchmark in establishing confidence in the identification of other items.

For those unaware, investment funds incur a load of costs over and […]

No victims, only participants in this price war
I’ve been banging on a bit on twitter recently about not being in favour of the Great Direct Platform Price War. However, thinking more about it, I’ve come to the conclusion that the actual price war is fine. It’s the narrative in the media that is the problem. For me, a narrow focus on price […]

Strawberry, Clubfinance and Close Bros to the diary room
Nothing stands still for long in the platform market, and if you’ve read our ramblings here and in the national meejah then you’ll remember that we said we thought there would be some changes from the published charge sheet. We’ve seen HL do a reverse ferret on the investment trust thing, and we’re also playing […]
