Junior stocks and shares ISAs

I’m trying to decided between Fidelity or HL for JISAs. Can you tell me why you chose either and/or if there are any others I should consider? Thanks.

They are the two that are normally recommended as they both charge zero platform fees for JISA's.
There is not a lot to choose between them in my experience. Both well established and with good customer service.
What is more important is which investments you choose for the JISA.

They are the only ones that I would consider as the accounts can be run for free and they give a lot of choice.

There are still some differences in what you can invest in. For example Fidelity offer a discount on their Fidelity Index World developed world tracker if held on their own platform so the cost of the fund is just 0.10% pa. HL offer access to buy inflation linked gilts directly so you can roughly align the maturity date to the child's 18th birthday.

HL has no platform or trade fees for JISA.

Only if they are exchange traded, no fees for buying and selling traditional (OEIC) fund units.
