Already the number one flat-fee provider for DIY investments, interactive investor is now extending that prowess to pensions. Compared to most of the competition, who charge percentage-based fees, it’s refreshing to know exactly what your pension is costing you: £12.99 a month.
Pension Builder is essentially a Sipp account, giving you the freedom to manage your own pension and take a more active approach to retirement saving. You can mix and match funds, exchange traded funds, investment trusts, and the like, without having to worry about trading fees.
Interactive Investor is also excellent at helping you plan for your later years, with retirement calculators and jargon-free guidance to assist you.
