Stocks and Shares ISA - Vanguard or Trade 212?

Flatulentoldgoat

Just wondering the pro's and cons of either. I only want to buy Vanguard products at the moment and it seems like a no brainer to sign up with Vanguard. Any thoughts?

If Vanguard fulfill all your investing requirements little point in looking elsewhere.

• Vanguard's platform fee is low for a small account - but gets expensive for a larger account as the cap is high.
• Vanguard's platform doesn't offer all tax wrappers eg LISAs.
• Vanguard's fund/etfs don't cover all asset types or investment strategies.
• There are often similar cheaper fund/etfs from other fund managers on platforms that give whole market choice but those platforms would cost more on a small account but possibly less on a big account.

I wouldn't trust T212 with anything more than play money - not that I feel the need to play.

Better to go with a large established name , than one with a still developing business model .

Never heard of them and google doesn't yield any results.

Aren't trading 212 closed to new customers at the moment? Unless you already have an account

If you are going away from the mainstream and using tiny players, especially those that are losing money every year,  then make sure you keep within FSCS limits.
