Aviva Stocks & Shares ISA

Hi,

I currently have a stocks and shares Isa with plum. I’ve been looking at different providers for a while now and keep being drawn towards Aviva.
I think this is mainly due to the fact I have a pension with them and I like the idea of using one of their ready made funds and having all of my investments in the same place for ease as I’m not the most clued up on investments.

So my main question is what are peoples views on using Aviva for a stocks and shares isa and if it would be worth transferring my isa from plum to themselves or to another provider? Not for the purpose of returns as I understand the risks in investments, but for the purposes of ease for a novice investor and platform security etc.

Thanks in advance for any input.

    Their intermediary platform is whole of market and good value. Especially if you have legacy products with them (like a pension).  However, their DIY platform is limited and aimed at people that dont know what they are doing.  It won't be the best. It wont be the worst.  If its a small amount you have then that's fine.  If its a large amount then you can do better.
