Penny's Take

Fifty years in the market and 12,000+ stocks and ETFs — including 24-hour trading on 600 top stocks — make this a strong pick for confident, active investors who want serious market access. No platform fee and commission-free trading keep costs low; the 3.75% AER on uninvested cash is a useful bonus, though you need to hold an open position or have traded that calendar month to qualify. Worth noting: the FX fee is 0.70% on non-GBP trades, which is on the higher side compared to several platforms here.

Our Expert Opinion on IG Stocks & Shares ISA

This ISA suits active investors who want a wide choice of assets, with access to over 12,000 stocks and ETFs and no platform fee or commission on UK and US trades. The cashback offer of up to £5,000 when transferring in at least £10,000 is worth noting if you are consolidating ISAs. The catch I would flag is the condition on earning interest on uninvested cash: you need to either hold an open position or have traded in that calendar month, so if you park money here between decisions you may earn nothing on it. Other fees can also apply on international trades, so I would read the small print before going global.
