Ok here goes.

So I have a H&L ISA which I have my funds in.

I have a Trading212 ISA account both cash and stocks and shares with some funds in and will trade on that.

I have also done a bit of spread betting with IG.

Last year before hitting 40 I opened a Moneybox LISA to get my hands on that juice 25% the government put in. The cash rate LISA was pretty good with them. Thinking of transferring to SS LISA for the longer term. I will top it up each year until I’m 50 and then take out when I’m 60.
Does anyone have Moneybox SS LISA? I find there app a bit crap if I’m honest and wondering if AJBell is any better?

Looking back maybe should have opened my LISA with H&L as I find there app easier. Looks like I can’t transfer an LISA into H&L but AJBell I can.
My thinking is to have investments spread in different providers just in case one did go under.

I do also have a very good company pension which will be my main source of retirement money in case someone thinks I’m just using these products

Thanks.

How do AJ Bell's costs and available funds compare to Moneybox's? Personally, I'd be basing a platform switching decision on those sort of things, rather than on how an app performs.

Yeah good point

Not much in it in terms of costs.

Had a look through this morning and yes AJBell offers more options.

I decided to just stay with Moneybox now and selected an allocation so they do everything. Will just top it up each year and let it do its thing.
