confusing cash balances
Generally good and low cost. Minor niggles include it lacks inverse ETFs so you cant hedge and of course doesnt have daily liquidity which is one main attraction of direct ETFs if you are punting. Also lacks the US ETF universe. Bigger niggle is the way the platform handles cash balances is very odd … it seems to put each ETF in a box and you assign cash to that box …. rather than having a total portfolio cash balance; and then you have to press extra buttons to get the cash you put in that box to invest in the corresponding ETF … so on numerous occasions it turned out i hadnt invested when i thought i had. Finally, just like many banks and financial platforms .. their know your client process is tedious and largely pointless beyond appearing to tick some BoE type KYC boxes…. IE feel free to call me if you want to know why.

The Best in Investment Platforms
Excellent ideas, flexible ISA and best screening.
I recently started using InvestEngine to open my SIPP account
I’ve recently started using InvestEngine to open and manage my SIPP account. I’m self-employed so it’s really the only eligible pension for me. The process has been hassle-free. They’ve got a great interface and for the couple of queries I’ve had, customer service has been quick to respond. I wish it had the option to transfer AVIVA pensions, but apparently it’s coming so the only reason why it doesn’t have five stars.
Cheap and easy to use
I love that InvestEngine is cheap and that I can easily create accounts and move over my SIPP
Fantastic
So easy to use, very user friendly, will loads of investment options
Great platform
First time investor and found the platform really simple to use with lots of choice available for each risk level. Would highly recommend to all including those just staring out on their investment journey like me.
Simply the best
I used another provider before, but they started to charge £4 per month just for holding an account. With InvestEngine this is free of charge and you can find more options for investing as well.

InvestEngine Expert Review
InvestEngine is one of the best investment platforms for buying ETFs
Provider: InvestEngine
Verdict: InvestEngine is one of the cheapest ways to buy ETFs as they offer zero account fees for DIY investors as well as low-cost simple managed ETF portfolios. They also have a managed ETF investment service, for those that want help with what to invest in.
Is InvestEngine any good?
Yes, InvestEngine won “Best ETF Platform” in the 2025 Good Money Guide Awards.
InvestEngine makes it really simple to get started by investing in ETFs with zero commission, although the market range is a bit limited if you are looking for more complex asset classes. Plus, they also have a managed service for those who want an expert to build a diverse portfolio of ETFs for them.
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 is free and managed accounts are very low cost too
Market Access: InvestEngine only offer about 763 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: There are some good insights on their blog, with fairly active social channels (mainly investing tips or product highlights).
