Additional Info
The UK's largest investment platform with around 4,000 funds, shares, and ETFs. Higher fees than some competitors but widely regarded as best-in-class for research tools and customer service. Better value for larger portfolios where percentage fee caps apply.

Penny's Take
The UK's largest investment platform, and still regarded as one of the best for research quality, customer service, and the breadth of what you can hold. Fees are higher than most competitors here — 0.35% annually on funds — but the cap kicks in at £12.50 per month for shares, which limits the damage for larger portfolios. If price is the priority, there are cheaper options on this list; if you want a platform that's well established and genuinely full-featured, HL earns its reputation.
