Its founder, Jack Bogle, was the person to come up with the concept of index funds in the first place. However, you don\u2019t need to use Vanguard\u2019s platform if you want to invest in its funds and ETFs. <\/p><p>You might even save money by investing in a Vanguard fund using an alternative broker. Because these days, it\u2019s often cheaper to invest in these funds elsewhere, especially if you have a smaller size portfolio, or a smaller sum to invest.<\/p><h3>At a glance: Platforms like

With InvestEngine, there are over 700 ETFs to choose from and 45 of those are Vanguard funds. InvestEngine also has pre-packaged \u201cLifePlan\u201d portfolios which are similar to Vanguard\u2019s popular \u201cLifeStrategy\u201d options, where it's a fund made of funds and you simply pick your desired percentage allocation to equities (stocks).\n<br><br>\nThe key difference between InvestEngine and Vanguard is the fees. InvestEngine has no platform fee for a DIY portfolio, and this includes using a flexible stocks and shares ISA or a self-invested personal pension (SIPP). Vanguard on the other hand has a 0.15% fee (with a \u00a34 monthly minimum from 31 January 2025).\n<br><br>\nSo if you want to invest in Vanguard funds, it\u2019s actually cheaper with InvestEngine. Plus, you get the added benefit of choosing ETFs from various providers (whereas Vanguard only lets you invest in its own products, selfish we know). For years, Vanguard didn\u2019t offer a mobile app, now it does - but it\u2019s far less superior to InvestEngine\u2019s app in terms of features and functionality.<\/p><\/div><div

Hargreaves Lansdown (HL) can be pricey for investing in individual shares, it\u2019s actually a fantastic option if you\u2019re sticking to fund investing. It\u2019s a decent alternative to Vanguard because there\u2019s no commission fee to buy or sell funds, the platform fee is 0.45% (with no monthly minimum fee) and it actually gets cheaper for larger portfolios.\n<br><br>\nThere\u2019s a huge choice of over 3,000 funds from a range of providers. This is much more than Vanguard offers, which is about 85. You\u2019re also able to hold your funds in a HL stocks and shares ISA wrapper for no added fee.\n<br><br>\nHL is an expensive option if you want to buy and sell individual stocks, but this isn\u2019t even an option with Vanguard so it\u2019s a bit of a moot point for comparison. Fund investors will find lots to like with HL.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pros-cons\"><button class=\"pros-cons__summary\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\"

Over this threshold, the monthly fee rises to \u00a311.99 for its Investor plan, which isn\u2019t great if you nudge into that bracket, but it\u2019s good value if you have a large portfolio because the fee doesn\u2019t get any bigger.\n<br><br>\nOne downside with ii is that there\u2019s a commission fee of \u00a33.99 each time you make a trade. But, long-term investors can avoid this by setting up a regular monthly fund investment, putting it on a par with Vanguard\u2019s lack of commission. With ii, you also get access to loads of unique, in-house research from its experts and an excellent mobile app and desktop platform for investing.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pros-cons\"><button

AJ Bell is a solid alternative to Vanguard because it has a much larger choice of over 3,400 ETFs and over 2,000 funds.\n<br><br>\nAJ Bell\u2019s fees are slightly higher than some of Vanguard\u2019s. The ongoing platform fee depends on the account you\u2019re using, but to hold funds in a stocks and shares ISA or a SIPP, it\u2019s 0.25% of the value of your funds (and this gets cheaper once you hit \u00a3250,000).\n<br><br>\nHowever, whereas it\u2019s free to buy or sell funds on Vanguard, AJ Bell charges \u00a31.50 per fund trade. So if you\u2019re investing smaller sums, these fees can add up and eat into your potential returns. Yet, for larger fund investors that want plenty of choice, AJ Bell can be superior to Vanguard.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pros-cons\"><button class=\"pros-cons__summary\" type=\"button\"

is relatively similar to Vanguard in terms of its approach and target audience. It offers plenty more funds, with over 2,500 to choose from and more than 400 ETFs. You can get started investing with Fidelity from \u00a325 a month, or a much steeper \u00a31,000 lump sum.\n<br><br>\nThe initial monthly deposit amount is lower than Vanguard\u2019s \u00a3100, but the lump sum is double Vanguard\u2019s \u00a3500 minimum. Although Fidelity offers a whopping choice of funds and ETFs, the complex and sometimes expensive fees let the platform down when compared to Vanguard.\n<br><br>\nThe best value is to set up a regular savings plan, which means a fee of 0.35% (\u00a37.50 a month without) for portfolios under \u00a325,000. The good news is there\u2019s no fee to buy or sell funds. Fidelity\u2019s platform is pretty basic and comparable to Vanguard\u2019s, but slightly clunkier and less intuitive.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pros-cons\"><button class=\"pros-cons__summary\"

The Premium plan also includes a SIPP, but at this price, it\u2019s only economical for larger pension portfolios.\n<br><br>\nCMC Invest does offer a free Core plan, but you don\u2019t get an ISA. However, with all CMC Invest plans, you do get access to over 1,000 mutual funds, plus a selection of around 400 ETFs and investment trusts. There\u2019s no commission to buy or sell investments on CMC Invest, but it doesn\u2019t offer fractional shares.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pros-cons\"><button class=\"pros-cons__summary\"

<p>\"As it stands, the cheapest place overall to invest in Vanguard funds is by using InvestEngine. There\u2019s no commission fee to buy or sell Vanguard ETFs on InvestEngine, and there\u2019s also no platform fee with a DIY account. Whereas Vanguard charges 0.15% (with a \u00a34 minimum for portfolios under \u00a332,000 from 31 January 2025).<\/p><p>Therefore, you can buy Vanguard ETFs and hold them in a stocks and shares ISA or SIPP wrapper and pay nothing extra other than the ongoing ETF fees (that you have to pay anywhere you\u2019d buy Vanguard ETFs, including on Vanguard\u2019s platform). \"<\/p>\n\n

alternative (perhaps because of the fee hike for smaller portfolios), here\u2019s a simple step-by-step guide explaining how:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Choose a new provider.<\/strong> Before switching, you\u2019ll need to pick a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\/best-trading-apps\">trading app<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/share-trading\">share dealing account<\/a> and set up an account.<\/li><li><strong>Check the account types.<\/strong> Make sure your new account offers a stocks and shares ISA or SIPP (if that\u2019s what you hold with Vanguard).<\/li><li><strong>Look at transfer options.<\/strong> See if your new platform offers \u201cin-specie transfer\u201d of your investments or if they need to be sold and moved over as cash.<\/li><li><strong>Start the transfer.<\/strong> If your new platform allows transfers in, they should offer a form to complete to start a transfer process from your Vanguard account.<\/li><li><strong>Wait for the transfer.<\/strong> The transfer time can vary depending on the type of account you\u2019re transferring. An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/stocks-and-shares-isas\/isa-transfer-rules\">ISA transfer<\/a> is usually within 30 days but a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/pensions\/self-invested-personal-pensions\">SIPP<\/a> might be longer.<\/li><li><strong>Close Vanguard account.<\/strong> Once the transfer has taken place, if your balance is now zero with Vanguard, you can send them a secure message requesting your account(s) to be closed.<\/li><\/ol><p>Remember to follow the official process using a transfer service if moving a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/uk\/stocks-and-shares-isas\">stocks and shares ISA<\/a>. Otherwise, if you simply withdraw the funds and deposit them somewhere else \u2013 this could eat into your yearly ISA allowance. <\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>With Vanguard introducing a new minimum monthly fee of \u00a34 for portfolios under \u00a332,000 \u2013 it\u2019s no longer one of the cheapest options for investors with smaller portfolios. Luckily, there are plenty of affordable UK alternatives to Vanguard that are cheaper and offer a greater selection of investment funds and ETFs. <\/p><p>Just remember to take care and follow the official process if you want to transfer out of Vanguard and move your portfolio somewhere else, especially if you\u2019re using a tax-efficient account like an ISA or SIPP.
