Excellent service overall
I love Invest Engine. They offer a wide range of funds and good analytics to track investments. Highly recommended!
Great APP
Very easy to navigate the app, very low fees, totally recommend.
The leading investment platform
Simply put, no other platform comes close when it comes to affordability, simplicity, and the range of funds on offer.
Great ISA & Good App
Simple fee structure. No fee for self-manage ISA & only 0.15% for managed ISA. SIPP also at 0.15% maximum of £200pa so good value for smaller pots of money. 1 less star as there are better value platforms for larger amounts and on the odd occasion there’s been a slight delay buying/selling ETFs.
App is pretty straightforward and nicely designed.
Overall I highly recommend

Overall
4I’ve never had any doubts about InvestEngine as an investment account, but in the past, I’ve always been a little worried about new ‘free’ or very low-cost investing accounts. In particular, because investing is a very complex business and the last thing you need to worry about is your investment platform going bust.
But InvestEngine is doing great business at the moment. I recently saw Andrew Prosser (who incidentally collected InvestEngine’s award for Best ETF investing Platform in 2023) at the London Trader Show talk about their growth. And the good news is that they now look after more client money than ever and around 35% of that is in InvestEngine’s managed ETF account. This means that as well as you are able to make money by investing in ETFs through their free account.
InvestEngine Ratings Explained:
- Pricing: Top marks as it is actually free to buy and hold ETFs in a GIA and ISA (although keep in mind you have to pay ETF charges to the exchange). Plus, the InvestEngine SIPP and managed accounts are very low cost too
- Market Access: InvestEngine only offer about 600 ETFs on their platform so are marked down a bit here. However, they do offer enough to build a diverse portfolio of exchange-traded funds
- Platform & App: Both are well built and easy to use, intuitive and cross-device
- Customer Service: InvestEngine are easy to contact through chat (even on weekends) plus an active community board. There is no published phone number on the site though
- Research & Analysis: A bit on the blog, but they are more insights, with a fairly active social channel (mainly investing tips or product highlights).
