First, we will compare the fees charged for dealing in the UK. There are two primary fees: the cost to place each trade and the monthly, quarterly, or annual management fee charged which varies depending on the type and size of your portfolio. We researched both to provide a single star rating for cost. Interactive Investor's score is 4.00 stars versus Saxo Markets's 3.50 stars.
Cost aside, we can now compare popular features and tools investors prefer. Access to the investments you want is important, and Saxo Markets offers clients ISA and SIPP while Interactive Investor offers ISA, ISA - Junior, SIPP and Spread Betting. Next, some traders desire robust charting, so the number of drawing tools and total technical indicators made available, as well as stock alerts, are considered. Interactive Investor trails Saxo Markets by 17 total charting tools, with Saxo Markets offering 17 and Interactive Investor offering 0. Interactive Investor trails Saxo Markets by 37 total different indicators (for example, moving averages), with Saxo Markets offering 48 and Interactive Investor offering 11. Interactive Investor and Saxo Markets both offer basic stock alerts. Finally, for researching funds while share dealing, having access to mutual fund research reports is also helpful. Interactive Investor makes fund research reports available to clients, while Saxo Markets does not.
Overall, between Interactive Investor and Saxo Markets, Saxo Markets is the winner.
