Megan Thomas, Which? investments writer, says:
Halifax Share Dealing was the most expensive in our survey for portfolios worth less than £25,000. This is because it charges a fixed fee of £36 a year (excluding trades), which is better value for larger portfolios. However, if you're aged 18-25, the fixed fee is waived until you turn 26.
For the biggest portfolios, though, Halifax Share Dealing is one of your best-value options compared with hefty charges you might incur from percentage-based fees.
Regular traders with any size of portfolio will feel the bite of £9.50 every time they want to sell a fund or share, though.
Halifax Share Dealing customers scored it 70%, the 15th-highest score among platforms in our survey.
