We\u2019ve tried to explain these as clearly as possible, but HL doesn\u2019t make it easy for us. <\/p><p>And it\u2019s a shame because HL does actually provide decent value for some types of investors with competitive platform fees. But it\u2019s hard to get to the bottom of them because it\u2019s a tangled web to say the least. The fee structure may work out well for you depending on how you invest (particularly if you have a high-value fund portfolio), but it\u2019s definitely not a cheap all-rounder. <\/p><h2 id=\"section_heading_67cac194e8\" class=\"section-heading\">\n            Hargreaves Lansdown investment choice and stocks\n    <\/h2>\n<table class=\"luna-table luna-table--fixedColumns\"><tbody class=\"luna-table__body\"><tr><th scope=\"row\">Investment choice score<\/th><td>\n\n\n\n<span class=\"scoreCombined score__container finder-score\" style=\"justify-content: flex-start;\">\n<span class=\"score__badge score__badge--excellent\">\n<span class=\"score__value\">9.1<\/span>\n<\/span>\n<span class=\"score__text-wrapper score__text score__text--excellent\">\nExcellent\n<\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Asset options<\/th><td>6+<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Markets<\/th><td>4+<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Number of investments<\/th><td>11,000+<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Number of ETFs\/funds<\/th><td>1,500+<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Fractional shares<\/th><td><svg class=\"luna-icon luna-icon--error\"><use xlink:href=\"#close\"><\/use><\/svg><\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Minimum deposit<\/th><td>\u00a31<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Minimum investment<\/th><td>\u00a31 (at least one share)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>Hargreaves Lansdown has a large selection and variety of investments available, covering a decent range of assets.
