Overall winner: Is Vanguard better than Hargreaves Lansdown?<\/h3>

Vanguard is an excellent platform and it\u2019s hard to beat for fees and value but it does have quite a lot of limitations. <\/p>

Hargreaves Lansdown is a much more well-rounded investing platform with so much more being offered for slightly more in fees. Yes, HL\u2019s fees are steep for share dealing but Vanguard doesn\u2019t even offer investors the ability to buy or sell individual stocks and shares.<\/p>

So if we\u2019re judging Vanguard vs Hargreaves Lansdown on what they offer investors as an apples to apples comparison, it\u2019s only really the fees where Vanguard wins. In almost every other area, Hargreaves Lansdown just provides so much more and gives investors much more freedom.<\/p>

Winner: Hargreaves Lansdown<\/strong><\/p>

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\u2019re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.<\/p><\/div><\/article>
