Interactive Investor Review: Fixed fee investing on a wide range of investments

Home > Reviews > Interactive Investor Review
Interactive Investor has come a long way in the 20 years or so I have been following them, especially recently as they are now part of ABRDN. The fixed fee pricing has always set them apart from competitors and can make having a large portfolio with them very cheap.

Interactive Investor Review
Good Money Guide Recommended 2024

Name: Interactive Investor

Description: Interactive Investor or II as its known is one of the UK’s largest self-determined investor platforms. II can trace its roots back to 1995 and the startup floated on the London stock exchange back in the year 2000 before being bought by the Australian business Ample in 2002.

Including model portfolios, selected funds and thematic investments.

Why we like them

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.

Pros

  • Fixed account fees
  • Easy to use
  • Good research

Cons

  • No Lifetime ISA
  • Expensive for very small accounts
  • No derivatives for hedging
  • Pricing

Ratings Explained

  • 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.

Interactive Investor Awards

Interactive Investor won “best investing platform” in our 2023, 2022 and 2021 awards.
