Vanguard have announced they are launching their own low cost platform & HL shares dropped 8%:

HL are currently charging me £140-odd a month in fees so if I move my business to Vanguard I'll pay less in a year than HL charge in three months. It gets better than that though: I received a letter from Vanguard advising that, as I'm an existing customer, they will waive the 0.15% account fee for as long as I remain with them.

It will be interesting to see how good the interface & services offered on their platform are.

I wonder why it caused a kerfuffle with the HL share price then, if it's so limited?
