Hi everyone, @Richard.W and I were talking about The Wealth Management Awards and as keen community members we want to ask everyone here for their help to support Trading 212, as I’m sure they’re not going to ask themselves.
So the Financial Times Awards can be voted for here:
The categories in which it is possible to vote for Trading 212 are
Low cost stockbroking
Execution-only stockbroking
Self select ISA
International sharedealing
Contracts for difference
an individual in the financial services industry that you believe deserves an award for their contribution to services for private investors
If anyone had a few minutes to fill that in that would be greatly appreciated.
On another note, there are a lot of unfair reviews out there about Trading 212, and that’s only natural because people only tend to leave reviews when they have either something really positive or really negative to say. So if everyone reading this could take a minute to at least give a star rating that would be greatly appreciated too! Here’s a few links where you can review the platform:
It may be worth commenting that neither @CavanHaganInvesting or I work for Trading 212. The “Leader” designation under our names simply means we have been posting a lot and received many likes from other users.
I have used many brokers in my time so know pros and cons of the alternatives serving the UK investor. Trading 212 impresses me a lot. The pros are: 0 fees (truely, no catch), 0 commission on currency exchange, fractional shares, autoinvest, pies, invest by value, great client community in which there is active participation by Trading 212 staff. Fast turn around on queries. Continual improvement of an easy-to-use trading app that so as to regularly provide clients with innovative features.
I enjoy the roll out of new features such as autoinvest and pies. We have been told that they intend that shares and pies should become as easily managed as you manage your files and folders on your Mac/PC. This should mean we can move things around without the overhead cost of stamp duty and buy/sell spread.
