Everything you need to invest in stocks, in one place.

Commission-free stock trading means you pay no per-trade fee when buying or selling shares. Brokers offering this model typically monetise through the spread on currency conversion, premium subscriptions, or payment for order flow. Always compare the total cost including FX fees, not just the headline commission rate.

Fractional share trading allows investors to buy a portion of a single share rather than a full share - enabling exposure to high-priced stocks like Amazon or Berkshire Hathaway from as little as $1. This feature is common on app-based brokers and is particularly useful for portfolio diversification on a limited budget.

A Stocks & Shares ISA is a UK tax-efficient wrapper allowing you to invest up to £20,000 per tax year with no capital gains tax or income tax on profits and dividends. It is one of the most powerful tax-sheltering tools available to UK investors and is offered by most UK-regulated stock brokers.

A Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) is a UK pension wrapper that provides tax relief on contributions and tax-free growth. Contributions benefit from basic-rate tax relief automatically, and higher-rate taxpayers can claim additional relief via self-assessment. SIPPs are offered by a smaller number of brokers and are subject to minimum age access rules.

A stock screener is a research tool that lets investors filter equities by financial metrics such as P/E ratio, dividend yield, revenue growth, and market capitalisation. Brokers offering integrated screeners give traders a significant research advantage - enabling bottom-up stock selection without needing third-party tools.

A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) automatically reinvests cash dividends you receive back into additional shares of the same stock - enabling compound growth without manual intervention. This feature is particularly valuable for long-term buy-and-hold investors who want to maximise the power of compounding.
