Chelsea Financial Review
Chelsea Financial has a lot of educational material but it is really aimed at investors with a big budget, and are interested in picking their own funds.
What are the investment options at Chelsea Financial?
The investment choices are limited as it only offers funds and more complicated and riskier options like Venture Capital Trusts. That said, Chelsea’s fund research tools and services are very good if you do want to pick your own funds.
Is Chelsea Financial expensive?
Chelsea’s fees are on the higher side unless you invest over £250,000. If you’re starting with less than this, there are cheaper alternatives available.
