    1. Charges, subscriptions and interest rates based on those published on all providers' websites on 28 October 2024. Charges can and do change so it's best to check websites for the latest figures. 2. Example of annual and monthly charges based on an investment ISA portfolio value of £10,000. 3. Investment charges, e.g. FX charges for shares and ongoing charges for funds aren't included in this table. 4. Freetrade's charge is based on their standard plan, paid monthly. 5. Vanguard's charge is per person rather than per account. And for the purposes of this comparison table, an average of Nutmeg's annual charge has been used (0.60%). 6. Because charges (with the exception of Freetrade) are based on the value of your investments, monthly charges will change as investment values change.

    It's important to know

    You have to be a UK resident for tax purposes to open an account with Dodl.

    The past performance of investments isn't an indicator of their future performance and their value can go down as well as up. This means you could get back less than you originally invested. 

    Dodl doesn’t offer any advice so if you’re not sure about the risks involved with investing, you should speak to a suitable financial adviser. 

    How you're taxed depends on your circumstances, and tax rules can change in future.
