Editorial review

Hargreaves Lansdown is het grootste beleggingsplatform in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, opgericht in 1981 en genoteerd in de FTSE 100. De broker staat onder toezicht van de FCA en biedt ISA's, SIPP's, en directe beleggingsrekeningen voor meer dan 2.500 fondsen en aandelen op tientallen beurzen. Handelstransacties in aandelen kosten £6,95 per transactie; de platformvergoeding bedraagt 0,35% per jaar tot £250.000.

De naam HL staat in het VK synoniem voor betrouwbaarheid en een breed aanbod van beheerde fondsen, beleggingsfondsen en direct aandelenbeleggen. De combinatie van uitgebreid onderzoek, educatieve content en klantenservice maakt het platform aantrekkelijk voor beleggers die ondersteuning en een compleet aanbod waarderen. Het is de broker voor de serieuze Britse langetermijnbelegger.

De keerzijde is het kostenniveau: voor actieve traders of grote portefeuilles kunnen de handelskosten per transactie en de platformvergoeding aanzienlijk oplopen. Valutatransacties voor buitenlandse aandelen brengen extra wisselkoersmarge met zich mee. Hargreaves Lansdown is het meest geschikt voor Britse beleggers die een gevestigde, uitgebreide broker zoeken voor pensioenopbouw en vermogensopbouw op lange termijn, en voor wie vertrouwen en diepte van het aanbod zwaarder wegen dan de laagste kosten.
