Bestinvest is a DIY platform offering a broad variety of products and investments. The platform is anchored in strong and independent research (the research team is highly respected), providing investors with tools to help them make informed choices and good investment selections. As well as offering a DIY platform, Bestinvest also has advice and discretionary arms for investors who want to hand over the reins at some point or for more complicated investment objectives.
It has recently introduced two new advice services — goal-based advice review which reviews objectives, time horizon and attitude to risk and provides a ready-made portfolio recommendation for £295. There is also a portfolio health check service for £495.
