Pros
Cons
Fineco is pretty new to the UK, so it’s still relatively unknown, but it’s pretty popular around Europe. Its low-cost share trading is one of its biggest strengths, putting it as one of the cheapest we’ve reviewed.
It doesn’t have the easiest-to-use platform on offer. This is mainly because it’s so advanced, aiming itself towards experienced investors more than beginners. It makes up for this with its learning resources and research tools.

All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.
