Vanguard

Does anyone have any experience of dealing with Vanguard direct?

I have around £150,000 to invest. Maybe some more in the near future - so I think I would meet their threshold.

Would I simply be cutting out the commission from people like HL and TD (which seems like a minefield to navigate and is all subject to change)? Or are there downsides that I haven't thought of?

    it think it's a minimum of £100k per fund, so you could only buy 1 fund if you go direct. they also don't offer an ISA or SIPP. if that suits you, then, yes, you'll save money by going direct. if it doesn't, then, for such big investments, go via somebody with fixed charges (e.g. HL, ATS), not percentages (e.g. TD).
