FT Money wants to hear from readers who are considering which DIY investment platform is best for them — or those who are frustrated by the service they are getting and thinking of a change.
As high UK inflation erodes the value of your cash and uncertainty clouds the outlook for financial markets, you may be seeking out a better return on your investments.
DIY platforms can reduce the costs of investing compared with a full-scale wealth management offering. But there is no free lunch. You may be wondering whether a platform that charges a percentage is right for you, or one that levies a flat fee. Do you expect to trade stocks often or move money between funds? If you do, which are the cheapest and easiest options?
DIY platforms won’t offer you investment advice, but may point you in the direction of funds they think are worth considering. How useful do you find this guidance? And most customers like to hold their investments in tax-efficient Isa accounts. Is it straightforward to set one up or transfer from another provider, without a long administrative delay?
We want to hear from you — email us in confidence via [email protected] and tell us about your experience of signing up to platforms and using them. We will use your insights to inform our reporting of this story.
