“Dont Move to Hargreaves”

Written on: 30/04/2013 by MoneyManner (1 review written)

I have just finished moving my SIPP away from Hargreaves, where I had it for 7 months. Unless you have a lot of money and even more time, then avoid making a massive mistake and do NOT move your money to Hargreaves Lansdown. They are rude, arrogant and full of them selves and that is on a good day. Of course I am talking about the customer service bods I have spoken to. I find the charges are high for small investors, they use very sneaky wordings in the advertisments and then when you... (read more)

“Dreadful Communication on progress when Re-registering...”

Written on: 05/04/2013 by cottingham (1 review written)

"I foolishly decided to re-register my CoFunds account into a HL Vantage account. Even tough HL informed me this could take up to 3 weeks. 8 weeks later it is not complete even though my previous PlatForm Re-registered the Funds over 2 weeks ago. HL are now not responding to update requests . I will use another Platform in future. (read more)

“Good for funds, not the cheapest for shares”

Written on: 07/06/2012 by Feverpitch (1 review written)

Currently hold S&S ISAs with Hargreaves Landsdown and overall I'm quite happy. They are are good trading platform for Managed Funds. Be carefully if you are buying individual shares. Their trading costs are not the cheapest avaliable. Lots of useful information on the website. Also there is not an iPhone app for trading. (read more)

“Good online investing service”

Written on: 24/04/2012 by Bibby (0 reviews written)

I tried to find out about investing from people like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs- well, no joy there, you need a huge portfolio to invest. So after a bit of research I found myself in the more welcoming hands of Hargreaves Lansdown. I got a few of their free guides which are helpful re: learning about investing. So far, so good: bought shares in 5 companies and have a few investment funds being topped up £50 per month. The range of choices is massive. Telephone support good, charges more... (read more)

“Why I left Hargreaves Lansdown”

Written on: 27/07/2011

I used to have a SIPP with Hargreaves. As I had more than £40,000 of shares in it I was charged £200 a year just for having the SIPP plus £25 a trade. I know those charges are now just £11.95 a trade but that is all very expensive. I have moved my pension to www.JPJShare.com - a SIPP has no annual fee and share trading is only £5.75 a go. It is all online, very simple and very cheap. I can't see why anyone stays with Hargreaves. (read more)

They also have very low trading costs and their web site is packed with useful tips and insightful comments. Impressed amd releived that I appear to have made a good choice. (read more)

“Hargreaves Lansdown were very helpful when contacting...”

Written on: 28/01/2009

Hargreaves Lansdown were very helpful when contacting by email with quick responses. easy to use site and login system straight forward. good trading price (still not as cheap as USA). good level of company information for research purposes but i often use a number of sites for this purpose. Cant seem to deal in overseas markets which is very frustrating. Can't put stop loss limits etc on orders which is also annoying, maybe they can change this during a website update as that would up... (read more)

Written on: 08/12/2008

A good service for infrequent traders. Frustrating if you become more active or in fast markets. Lack of order service has made me move 50% of my SIPP to Barclays. (read more)
