Thanks, I shall look into both of those. Probably would be trading a couple of times a quarter.

I use YouInvest AJ Bell (formally SippDeal) £9.95 per trade and no annual charges. Platform is fine and had no issues over the last few years.

Hello! Bringing this thread back from the dead because I need a new investing-via-the-web solution. HSBC InvestDirect was OK until it stopped supporting exchange traded commodities funds, and commodities is mainly what I know about. Any recommendations?

Iii? But they now charge 20 qtr. But that is given as dealing credit. So trade twice qtr and its effectively free.

Is there no way I can buy shares in India... I don't fancy putting more money in the FTSE...

LNFT and MINDX are etf which track the all stocks indian index.

These are some UK mutual funds which invest in india-
HSBC GIF india equity fund
Fidelity India Focus
Jupiter India Acc

If you wanted to trade the entire Indian stock index, try spreadbetting with IGIndex. Make sure you know what you are doing with regards to stoploss and leverage though!

AFAIK you can't buy indian shares directly.
There are indian index tracker etf listed in UK/USA e.g LNFT,MINDX.

Interactive Investor ISA normally does £1.50 commission for batch buying, currently free until June 30th (I imagine their spreads may be a little wider though).

If you really are a long term-investor like you say then batch (rather than real-time) buying shouldn't be a problem.

Can anyone advise whether I can buy shares on the Indian stock exchange (BOM) via iii or HSBC Invest Direct...

Try www.h-l.co.uk, £9.95 a trade with my setup.

I'm moving my shares into £s, maybe you could buy mine off me.

What shares do you have? Pm me

Should I stop d1cking around like a cheapskate and just accept £50 per annum charges?!

We, of all people, ought to have a better understanding than most of the effort that is required to provide an online stockbroking service to the public. How do you think it is paid for?

So, stop being a cheapskate.

Selftrade charges a yearly admin fee which amounts to over £40... I'd suggest HSBC InvestDirect or III... No inactivity or admin fees and only low execution fees in sell and buying UK equities.

With Selftrade too. You can now have a competition between the amount of time you spend on here and that spent watching your portfolio.
