iii or HL as a fund platform ?
Discussion
I believe iweb/halifax has best prices for funds. HL is almost the worst possible option.
You lose 0.45% before you even start.
Try and find something with capped or at least way cheaper levels IMO.
Also Monevator has a table http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-will-win-y...

I switched from HL to iii.
The main reason was because although the iii platform looks like it was designed by a twelve-year-old it works ok.
And they charge me £200 not £2000 a year.
Or something like that.
Fidelity is a total rip-off too.
So far I have been able to do everything on iii that I could on HL (and on Fidelity when I used that).

Had something else in the clipboard at the time That could have gone horribly wrong! <clears clipboard>
This is a more useful comparison, ranked by fund size

What costs to change if you don't mind spilling the beans ?The main reason was because although the iii platform looks like it was designed by a twelve-year-old it works ok.

Ah... zero I think.I think iii charge £20 a quarter for an ISA and trading account (which you get back in free trades).
And £196 a year for a SIPP.
Fido and HL just emptied my accounts and gave all the holdings to iii.
I think!
I have accounts with both;
III - crap customer service, poor execution, have complained a few times.
HL - expensive
III - cheap as chips and does what it says on the tin.
HL - great customer service and quick execution / resolution of issues.
III - majority of my portfolio, basic stuff like shares / Unit Trusts / OEICs
HL - Child trust funds / Child SIPPs / my SIPP (which gets transferred once in a while to III SIPP).
No hassle using both
