You probably need to seperate out responses relating to fund or direct investments (stocks and shares).
For me....
HL for funds and SIPP. Primarilly because their SIPP charges (whilst invested in funds) is great value for money. Having said that I am not someone fixated on charges. I am happy for a fund manager to take a big slice on charges if the fund performs (consistently) its all about total return.
SelfTrade for stocks and shares and ISA's (and CTF). Charges are ok, not the best. The biggest factor for me in this area is, can you trade when everyone else and their dog is trading (selling is usually the melting point); and I'm not saying that SelfTrade are the greatest but that would be a significant factor I would be willing to pay for.Personal Responsibility - Sad but True

Thanks to everyone who has answered so far, thought I'd give this a bit of a push to the top of the board.
Any additional contributions very welcome!

I think I know why H-L's share price has been on the up recently.
BTW, I'm with H-L. I think I might put some of their shares in my ISA, just to be convoluted.In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:0 -
