[Skyedriver]

Seems very good option according to their "blurb" anyone any real time experiences?
PM me if you's rather not post direct, please.
Thanks

Have to admit I've been using their SIPP for about six years and ISA for two.

Cheap ish

Easy to use website

I really like their mobile App - again easy to use, quick to load.

Don't like their "Virtual Portfolio" - don't think it's well thought through.

Whenever I have had an issue (only twice admittedly) their customer service has been swift to respond. Both times I can think of the issue was beyond their control.

Pity I cannot trade in Gilts on-line (have to 'phone - and not that you're going to trade much in Gilts ATM!) and I don't think I can trade in US stocks on-App, but only through website. No great hardship though.


Otherwise, useful tools all around their website. There used to be a time when SPs weren't easy to find, but all the links seem to be there these days.

Overall, have to say it's a good self-service system.

Big thumbs up here too. Never had any issues and there site is very easy to use.

App is handy.

I have both the ISA and the non-ISA Vantage and find them very good. It's very easy to trade and any issues I can call their helpline who have always been very helpful.

Only minor gripe is the amount of mail blurb I get through the post but other than that everything is great.

Best of luck!!

I have recently opened a Vantage SIPP which was done pretty efficiently.

There charges seem to be relatively good, I'm sure there are others that could potentially be cheaper if you intend on trading a lot?

Hope all goes well

Also got a good report from a guy at work
No poor reports so taking the plunge....

Can you buy aim through this ISA?

I have Range Resources which are AIM listed in my ISA....so yes, certain companies can but not all. I'm unsure of the rules though.

I took the plunge and have been really happy so far. As already mentioned, the app is good although Ive never tried to buy using it - just check prices.

IIRC the key rule is the share must be listed on another approved stock exchange as well as AIM - dual listed is the term.

Indeed. But the primary listing must be abroad. There are some other exceptions relating to type of business.

Gov are currently consulting and will likely remove restrictions in due course.

Yes, making the shares ISAble will bring an interesting new angle to 'investing' in AIM. It'll be interesting to see who does best out of it, us investors or HM Treasury.
