<\/table><\/div><p>IG previously waived trade fees if you placed enough trades per quarter. Now though, it\u2019s done away with them altogether. interactive investor charges a flat monthly fee. Interactive investor has the lower minimum deposit here, requiring you to only invest \u00a31.<\/p><p>We\u2019ll compare the fees in two parts: ready made portfolios and share dealing. <\/p><h4>Ready made portfolios<\/h4><p>IG\u2019s fees are pretty simple. For its \u201csmart portfolio\u201d, it charges 0.72% on investments up to \u00a350,000 made up of a 0.50% IG management fee, an average of 0.15% in fund costs and 0.07% for transaction costs. For investments over \u00a350,000 it charges 0.22%, made up of an average of 0.15% in fund costs and 0.07% in transaction costs. You pay no IG management fee over \u00a350,000.<\/p><p>interactive investor has a flat fee for using all of its services (an additional fee applies if you want to add the self-invested personal pension). Its most basic plan \u201cInvestor\u201d costs \u00a39.99 per month.<\/p><p><strong>What does that actually mean?<\/strong><br>If you invest \u00a310,000 with IG, then you\u2019ll spend \u00a372 (in a year).<br>If you invest \u00a310,000 with interactive investor then you\u2019ll spend \u00a3119.88 (in a year).<\/p><p>Many investment platforms have calculators that help you work out the costs of your investments based on a figure you enter. Neither IG nor interactive investor has this, so we did it the old fashioned way, with a calculator, pen and paper using the costs outlined above.<\/p><h4>Share dealing<\/h4><p>IG has now axed its share dealing fee, so this one\u2019s simple.<\/p><p><strong>Winner:<\/strong> IG<\/p><h3>Round 6: Features<\/h3><div data-category=\"\" data-niche=\"UKFST\" data-fieldset=\"UKFSTfeaturesRA\"
