It really depends how often you'll be trading and how much you'll be holding.3

I want to invest £1000-£2000 approx per month. So it would come around £30k yearly. Could you suggest?0

Why not Vanguard? They're very competitive for the amounts you're talking about until you get upto £50k-£100k, and have everything you want, above that amount I think iWeb are the absolute cheapest for infrequent traders.
I use both, prefer Vanguard, iWeb is fine.0 -

FTSE100 is a dire index. Over 20 years of consistent underperformance compared to its peers. No expectation that will change given its extremely poor asset make up. So, why does it appeal to you?I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.4 -
