Interactive Investor won Best Fund Platform because their fixed-fee model makes it cost-effective for those with a large fund portfolio that has grown over the years.
Interactive Investor Expert Review: An excellent choice for large portfolios
Fixed fee investing on a wide range of investments
Interactive Investor differs from other investment platforms as it charges a fixed account fee, rather than a percentage of the funds you have on account. Which, over time, could save you thousands in costs.
Interactive Investor is a low-cost provider competing directly with the likes of Hargreaves Lansdown and AJ Bell offering general investment accounts, ISAs and pensions. In our Interactive Investor review, we explore the pros and cons of the platform and who it is suitable for.
Pricing: Brilliant for medium and large investors, expensive for small accounts.
Market Access: You’ll be hard-pressed to find something you can’t invest in.
Platform & Apps: Very good, excellent data and usability.
Customer Service: They are massive and mostly online, but you can call them directly, generally good.
Research & Analysis: Loads, daily and weekly updates across all the asset classes they cover, with lots of analysts and opinions. No advice service though.
