Is AJ Bell a good investment platform?

What AJ Bell lacks in pizazz, it more than makes up for in functionality. On the surface, this is a fairly plain, boring investment platform, but don’t let that fool you. As one of the best rated and well-known services out there, it’s a very good choice.

Is AJ Bell recommended for beginner investors?

For beginners, there’s plenty of reading material and support, but AJ Bell really shines for more advanced investors. If you know what you’re doing, the level of flexibility and freedom is second to none.

Our review of AJ Bell

In all, AJ Bell’s website and app are well worth looking at. And if you ever get stuck, the telephone and email support is great too. It’s little wonder they win so many awards.
