Assessment
InvestEngine is used by UK individuals and businesses that want to invest mainly through ETFs. It offers Stocks and Shares ISAs, personal pensions, general investment accounts, and business accounts, and its best use cases are fee-free DIY ETF investing and managed ETF portfolios. ETF provider charges still apply, and its main competitors are Trading 212, Lightyear, and Interactive Brokers.
InvestEngine (UK) Limited was incorporated in October 2016 and is registered in London. The company markets zero account and trading fees on DIY investing, with managed portfolios as an alternative for customers who want a ready-made mix of ETFs from providers such as Vanguard, Invesco, and Xtrackers.
It fits a cost-conscious UK ETF investor. It is a weaker fit for someone who wants individual US stocks as the core product, and for an adviser who needs US RIA custody.
