Keeping LISA, SIPP and ISA with the same broker
Options

Does anybody keep all tax sheltered accounts with the same broker to minimise fees?
If the broker has a maximum yearly fee, and it is across all accounts, it could make sense for investors who's total holdings are large enough, but separate accounts are not.
However, I know the main 3 mentioned here (DODL, AJbell and HL) all have maximum fee per account, and don't have a maximum across all accounts.

HL and AJ Bell charge 0.45% and 0.25% and have no maximum as far as I know.
Except on ETFs/ITs and shares where the following limits apply.
HL ISA £45 : Sipp £200
AJB ISA £42 ; Sipp £120
Fidelity has a platform cap of £90 for the same type of investments.
These limits do not apply to investments in OEIC funds, which are the most common.0 -
Vanguard have a maximum across all accounts but, to answer your question, no, my SIPP and S&S ISA are at different providers.0

I have found the lowest cost combination for my long term accounts is a £42pa capped LISA from AJ Bell and a £90 capped SIPP from Fidelity both invested in similar developed world tracker ETFs. Both accounts are fairly inactive so trade costs are rare/low. Sometimes Fidelity offer very generous cashback deals that can cover their fees for a decade or so depending on the value transferring.
On the S&S ISA then I generally go for cashback deals where they pay me more than the account would cost over the initial period so every year I transfer elsewhere.

My preference has been to keep accounts separate as it diversifies against provider issues and opting for the cheapest for each account type tends to be competitive with going with a best single provider.That said, I am bringing a S&S ISA and SIPP together at HL for about 10x its annual platform fee and only need to stick around for a year.1

I don't dare transfer my SIPP for cashback incentives anymore as the possibility of protected age 55 access is too valuable to risk.0

However only certain providers seem to offer any significant ones.
Hargreaves Lansdown
Fidelity
Interactive Investor
Nutmeg
Close Brothers
+ others
Make sure you read the T's and C's carefully. Often you have to actively sign up to the offer.
Some you have to claim via a cashback site, or wait a few months .With all of them you have to stay with the new provider at least 12 to 18 months.
There is usually a minimum amount ( £25K or £50K ?)2 -
