For example, how many people have experience of multiple platforms?

That's very true.
Had I been asked last year, I would have given them four star marks for everything. That would have been after using them exclusively for the previous 20 odd years.

I've no idea how it works but "Which? Recommended Provider" has the ring of a financial arrangement about it - like those awards and badges dodgy builders like to have on their notepaper. Hope not as it wouldn't do the reputation of Which? for objectivity much good.

Personally I'd put a lot more weight on the opinions on a board like MSE where the track-record of posters for sound judgement, or otherwise, is easy to see - rather than a "panel" made up of a bunch of strangers I can know nothing about.

it's 0% charge on any funds held in excess of £2m. (though you have to pay £4000 on the first £2m in funds.)

but look at the big picture: suppose you have over £2m in funds with HL, plus £1bn-worth of shares in a FTSE 100 company. then that £4000 is only 0.0004% of your total assets - pretty insignificant

more seriously ... polling ppl about who has low charges is a bit silly, when you could just compare the charges instead; however, a survey about customer customer service standards may be a better measure than who gets complained about on MSE. most ppl only post when things are going wrong.

Will it be brickbats rather than plaudits they'll be receiving come the next awards season......
