Hargreaves Lansdown Review
Hargreaves is a strong, stable giant that holds over a third of the consumer investment market, it’s one of the best but a bit slow to evolve.
What are the benefits of investing with Hargreaves Lansdown?
Investors can benefit in many ways from the wealth of experience that this platform has. The research is some of the best around, it has recommendations, and there is lots of supporting material to get your teeth into. That is, if you already know what you’re looking for. With such a large site to get around, beginners might find it overwhelming.
What are the fees?
All this good stuff does come with a small catch, though: Hargreaves is on the pricey side. Make sure you compare the fees and features with smaller platforms before you commit.
