For portfolios under \u00a3100,000 it\u2019s just a flat 0.25% fee and then over \u00a3100,000 the fee drops significantly to 0.05%. Barclays did have a different fee structure in the past and a \u00a34 minimum monthly fee, but this has been removed.<\/p><p>To give you an idea of how much an account would cost you, if your portfolio was \u00a3500, you\u2019d pay just \u00a31.25 a year. Or if you had \u00a310,000, it would cost you just \u00a325 a year (or just over \u00a32 a month) to invest using Barclays. <\/p><p>Barclays also made changes to its commission structure so that now it costs \u00a36 to buy or sell investments, no matter whether the asset is from the UK or abroad. Also, fund fees have been removed so it\u2019s now free to buy or sell funds on the platform. <\/p><p>If you can, it\u2019s worth taking a look at the fund selection or making the most of Barclays\u2019 regular investing service (starting at \u00a350 a month) because this will reduce your trading commission down to \u00a30.<\/p><h2 id=\"section_heading_e0bf90cde0\" class=\"section-heading\">\n            Barclays 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--great\">\n<span class=\"score__value\">8<\/span>\n<\/span>\n<span class=\"score__text-wrapper score__text score__text--great\">\nGreat\n<\/span>\n<\/span>\n\n<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Asset options<\/th><td>5+<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Markets<\/th><td>4<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Number of investments<\/th><td>2,500+<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Number of ETFs\/funds<\/th><td>230+<\/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>\u00a30<\/td><\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\">Minimum investment<\/th><td>\u00a30 (at least one share)<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>Barclays has a decent selection of investments, assets and markets available to you.
