Fidelity to Interactive Investor - Experiences??
Options

Hi
I am considering moving ISA platforms to II, in doing so I would save circa £35 per month based on my average activities (ie regular fund investments and adhoc 'fine tuning')
Fidelity to their credit offer quite a powerful fund portfolio holdings analysis tool, so I can get quite a detailed break down on a portfolio level, which is a great help to steer me to my long term goals. Does II offer this also?
How detailed are any of the investment tools they offer? I realise its low cost platform, so expect some compromise on the tools available.
Has any Fidelity customers made this jump and what are their general thoughts.
Cheers! and happy new year!

If you are considering the comparative charges then it will depend on your level of activity. Fidelity charges a platform fee as a percentage of your portfolio value whereas Interactive Investor charges about a tenner a month regardless but you also incur a dealing charge although you do get a free one every month.0

If the investments are in shares/ETF's/Investment trusts and/or in a SIPP ( especially in drawdown ) then the comparison can change.0 -
Whilst both Fidelity and Interactive Investor have a similar "x ray" type tool, which is provided by morningstar, the same tool is also available on the morningstar website. There is a free version and a paid for version. The disadvantage of the former is that you can't save your portfolio so it's only any good as a one off analysis, whereas the paid for version allows you to save your portfolio and analyse it to your heart's content whenever you like.
As a sidenote I don't know if any other platforms (AJ Bell, HL, etc.) have this tool, or an equivalent, but I'd be curious to know.0 -

HL has an X-Ray tool (Portfolio analysis). You can add up to 10 other investments to it which I use to use to X-Ray my whole portfoilio
It states "Please note we cannot currently X-ray Investment Trusts, Absolute Return funds or Exchange Traded Funds.", however it does X-ray all the the EFTs and Funds I hold there, although I don't hold any ITs.Retired 1st July 2021.
This is not investment advice.
Your money may go "down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... down and up and down and up and down and up and down ... I got all tricked up and came up to this thing, lookin' so fire hot, a twenty out of ten..."0 -
I have a small SIPP with AJ Bell and they appear to use the Morning Star x-ray.0
-
On AJBell, is there a way to X-Ray multiple accounts together, i.e SIPP, ISA and LISA ?
I mainly use the app and can only see the options to x-ray individual accounts.0 -
No thats excellent, and was just the insite I needed. I have already done the fee crunching, and a move to II makes sense (based on my transactions).
My only concern would i lose some of the great tools (ie XRAY) Fidelity offers.
Cheers!0
