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: […]

Back for more – Hargreaves Lansdown, Part The Second
That’s been quite a day. Reaction to HL’s announcement has been pretty mixed – more than I thought it would have been. Hater of the day prize goes to Dan Hyde in the super soaraway Torygraph with this piece – “Why investors should leave Hargreaves Lansdown“. Others were a bit more measured, and for once […]
Big Bristol beasts bring the beat back – Hargreaves Lansdown unveils its pricing
So this is an unusual blog for us. I’m very conscious that quite a lot of real people, as opposed to financial industry apparatchiks, are going to read this given the nature of the subject. I’m afraid I’m going to have to be a bore and outline a couple of things up front. First, we’re […]
