Has anyone used Pickafund?

Hi all, I was looking for a better alternative to a fidelity fund I have had for ages. It’s an actively managed global equity blend fund but the fees appear expensive when compared to others. Has anyone used this website https://pickafund.com/ 

It seems to be suggesting some good alternatives when using its comparison feature but I don’t think you can invest on it? Is that the case?

The website says it suggests platforms. I’m guessing it makes money from referrals.

Thank you.

I just found it much easier to use than other websites which seem to make everything so complicated. And the interfaces in others are horrible!

If there are any other sites you recommend please let me know, I need to overhaul all these legacy funds I have in my ISA.

Agreed - that is just a referral site, which Google search is stuffed with these days. I wouldn't use it.

If you went from an actively managed global equity find to a passive fund, your fees would drop significantly, whether with Fidelity or any other platform.
