Verdict
Passive investors who want to build a low-cost ETF portfolio and never pay a platform fee. Ideal if you're happy with index funds and ETFs and don't need access to active funds or individual shares.
Passive investors happy using Vanguard's own fund range with portfolios between £32,000 and £250,000 — where 0.15% undercuts most rivals. Above £250,000 the £375/yr cap makes it very competitive. Below £32,000 the £48/yr minimum is higher than InvestEngine's zero fee.
