Interactive Investor (Super Investor) Review
Designed for more engaged investors, the ‘Super Investor’ account gives you everything that makes the platform great, plus more freedom and insight.
At £19.99 a month, the service includes 2 free trades. If you want to trade more often, the fees are reasonably competitive at £3.99 for UK and US trades or £9.99 for international trades. As for choice, Interactive Investor gives you access to over 3,000 funds, 1,000 ETFs and 600 trusts. And there are great filters and tools to help you choose between them.
We really like what Interactive Investor are doing. And if you’re like us and enjoy digging into the detail, you’ll appreciate their market commentary and recommended fund lists. Well worth a look.
