A guest blog from Ivan Opinion
Hello. We’ve been really chuffed with the interaction we’ve had on the blog since starting to cover Hargreaves Lansdown and the other direct platforms. So we asked a couple of our more prolific commenters if they’d be willing to write some stuff for us – and we’re delighted to say that Ivan Opinion (and yes, […]
Exit fees and why platforms shouldn’t be like mobile phones
Just a very quick blog as I haven’t posted in the last week; been out and about touring, talking about auto-enrolment rather than platforms. Just for giggles. To mix it up. What a rock’n’roll life I lead, etc. Anyway, we jack-in-the-boxed in the Telegraph as part of a story on exit fees on platforms; something […]
As you were, lads – Hargreaves does a reverse ferret
So just a short note to confirm that HL has done the decent thing on the investment trust side and removed the distinction between shares and ITs. This means that the max you will pay for holding exchange traded instruments is £45 in ISA or GIA and £200 in SIPP. This is good news and […]

Fashionably late – Halifax Sharedealing and Bestinvest slink in at the back
Another Friday, another bunch of platforms to round up. This time we welcome Halifax Sharedealing and Bestinvest to the party – we’ll move past the fact they’re late and celebrate that they’re here at all. Nearly everyone has announced now; we lack Chelsea and a few of the smaller brokers, but that’s about it. The […]

Platforms! Faahzands of em! Barclays et al go over the top.
Yes, I know that was never in the film. But it seemed relevant as we round up some of the platforms who we haven’t covered hitherto (posh) and also take a look at Barclays Stockbrokers, who announced their plans today. Judging by the traffic on these blogs, and some of the comments, investors are really […]

Next please – Fidelity joins the new world
So yesterday Fidelity showed the best of British pluck and joined the huddled masses of direct platforms in our Tables Of Repentance – obviously the only reason a provider declares its new pricing is to get a spot therein. Happily for you, and for us, Fiddy went down the simple(ish) route, and here’s what happened: […]
