BestInvest vs HL vs other?

As arranged by my IFA, I'm paying about 5% on monthly investments into Cofunds. To minimise this I wish to replace IFA by BestInvest/HL/other but am unsure of relative merits eg HL's Vantage vs Cofunds. Can anyone please advise? Many thanks.

    I believe both HL and BestInvest charge 0% on most new investments (but check on your specific funds if you might want to add to them). HL charge an extra .5% pa for most trackers, but usually discount the AMC on funds, so depends what you want in your portfolio.

    This is for execution only. If you want personal advice you need to check the websites, some only do it if you have a least £50k, and may be via telephone rather than face-to-face.
