I've been looking for alternatives to IB to diversity my brokerage choice. I need a platform that allows purchase of UK-listed ETFs, which made the choices limited. Have looked into Saxo, Swissquote and Internaxx but they are quite expensive. Just now I found HSBC Expat which I haven't seen being discussed on the forum. Its website claims that they offer ETFs traded in UK and charge a flat fee of GBP14.95 for orders placed online. There are no annual management or inactivity fees. The fees are almost as good as IB. Has anyone tried it? Seems too good to be true... Any hidden fees I didn't notice?
