Welcome to Compare Fund Platforms
The only website that compares the overall cost of investing via fund platforms and discount brokers - based on the funds you choose. Helping you find the best fund, ISA and SIPP deals.
Choose from
funds and compare leading fund
platforms in minutes...
While using fund platforms often makes sense (to keep your funds in one place), trying to compare features and charges is often bewildering. Platform charges are levied in a variety of ways and most
funds are now available in several versions, each with different charges. And can you save by using a discount broker?
Now, for the first time, you can compare total costs in just a few simple steps:
- Choose how you want to hold the funds: directly, ISA or SIPP.
- Select the funds you wish to compare.
- Include shares too if you want.
- Confirm assumptions about investment period and growth rate.
- View results & save if you wish.
From 6 April 2013 annual charge rebates outside of ISAs and pensions may be taxable -
