A platform for Vanguard Lifestrategy funds
Aaiieeee
Posts: 23 Forumite
Hi all,
A quick query. I want to start putting money into a single Vanguard LifeStrategy fund (either 80 or 100) each month but finding a platform seems a bit overwhelming when thinking about costs.
To give some direction and a place to start investigating, can anybody recommend me a platform that meets the below requirements with the aim of keeping the costs as low as possible?
-S&S ISA
-1 fund (Vanguard LifeStrategy)
-12 investments a year (monthly)
-Going for very long term
-no other requirements to trade or re balance, no need to fiddle
Thx

Have a play with the link below, it depends upon the sums involved but someone like Charles Stanley Direct might suit

If you only want to hold funds then Charles Stanley will be your best bet providing your investment is less than £18k
Once you reach the £20k mark it makes more sense to move to a fixed fee broker.
See monevator's really helpful comparison table to help make up your mind.

Good time to start, markets are down a fair bit since over the last month.
