ISA Comparison - Restricted Choice of Provider

[EJH]

I'm looking to open an ISA (nothing like leaving it until the last 4 weeks of the tax year, I know) but have a restricted choice of providers due to the compliance reporting my employer requires (to tie through to pre-clearance, etc).

The short list I have is:

- Alliance Savings Trust
- Barclays Smart Investor
- HL and
- Self-Trade (Equiniti)

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a resource where I can easily compare each provider/platform's fees as, whilst not opaque, fee information seems to be provided in a less than comparable format!

Platform fees tend to be very opaque.

Fund fees are less than opaque but should be the same across platforms assuming the same fund and class.

I'm happy with fund fees and their understanding as have worked around them, professionally, for "a while," now.

It's the platform and service fees that are the complete mystery to me!

You could use these to get an idea of cost comparisons but ultimately I think it comes down to reading each ones charges.

They do list them and I've always found they do so pretty clearly.

Thank you; exactly what I was looking for! Time to look at this and use as the basis for further reading!
