Bestinvest

It was back in the 1980s when Bestinvest first earned its reputation as both a pioneer and consumer champion, with the launch of a service that made investing affordable and accessible to anyone. This spirit lives on in the service we provide to clients today.

Through our award-winning, cost-effective Online Investment Service, we provide everything you need to choose and manage your own investments. It’s easy to buy, sell and review investments. There are more than 2,500 funds available plus ETFs, investment trusts and almost all UK shares. If you would like to research investments or need inspiration, you’ll find detailed fund factsheets as well as a wide range of articles and guides.

Even if you prefer a more hands-off approach to investing – because you don’t have the knowledge or perhaps the time needed – we can help. We offer Ready-made Portfolios that are chosen and managed by our investment team, so once you’ve bought one, you don’t need to make any further investment decisions. 

Bestinvest has won a large number of awards, including Best Investment Platform for three consecutive years at the Investors Chronicle and Financial Times Investment and Wealth Management Awards.
