Yes, it does. Hargreaves Lansdown quotes 2.75% on £200,000 ( not a rec, just an example ).

Unbiased has a section explaining how you can choose to pay your IFA. There's even a voucher for a free first consultation!

If you post your query on the main Savings and Investments board you'd very likely get a reply from one of the resident IFAs.

As you can see, Hargreaves is half what you have been quoted AND, in addition, Hargreaves's fee are negotiable as their published rates are fairly high as well. To be fair, published rates have to be set high because you can never charge higher but have room to negotiate downwards.

Hi ,
I have looked at loads of the old posts but cant find an answer.

I am looking to buy some shares ( i have set out an account with Etrader uk and Etrader USA .

If i buy US shares do i have to pay extra costs apart from the buying and selling charges ( I do not live in the USA )

IF i buy UK shares what costs to i have to pay on any profit ie tax ect ect .

I have a about £600 that i want to gamble on the markets i know a good company in the US that i like but think it will cost to much to invest in USA and will it be cheaper in the UK

I hope you can understand this , But any help and info will be great as you can tell i am new to stocks and shares but we all start somewhere .

Thanks
Danny

Try Interactive Investor (commonly referred to here as iii.)

Am i right in thinking with iii they add on a commision to the actual share price ie not just a trade fee. ie if a share is 40p they charge you 40.25p per share etc

Sometimes, if they are market makers or dealing from their own book. It's called a mark-up if buying and mark-down if selling.

Try moneyam.com to see the spread percentage of a share

No, they just charge a flat-rate fee like most execution-only brokers.

Most dealing platforms will display the best buying (or selling) price from the available MMs, which will almost always be equal to or better than the bid or offer price shown on sites like Advfn or Moneyam.

Hi,
i'm hoping someone can help me. My Dad has a pension fund and wants to use some of the moey in it to buy shares with (UK). I know very little about share dealing but he has asked me to find out what sort of share dealing account he would need to open to deal this way (with him as a trustee), preferably online....
Any ideas?
Holly :rolleyes:

hi all. I have shares which I bought in 1997. I was never sent a share certificate. I bought my shares through Lloyds bank stockbrokers for which I no longer have the contact details. I have sold my shares but need to find my shares certificate to send to the company I have sold the shares to. How do I go about getting my certificate? I am new to all this so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
