Stocks and shares ISA
Why would people not invest using a stocks and shares ISA if you can avoid tax?
On my santander stocks and shares ISA, it only allows me to invest in funds not individual
stocks. Is this how it is for all S&Ss ISAs, and is this why people prefer to trade on platforms like
fidelity?
S&Ss ISA allows you to avoid tax. What tax would I be paying on a platform such as etoro that
could be avoided with the ISA? Would they not be negligible for investing small amounts such
as £5k? Would I be exempt as I am a full time student?
What Platform is best to use?
Robinhood, trading 212, etoro?
What is the best way to break down fees and easily see the fees that will incur from using each
platform. What would you suggest if I had around 5K?
Is it best to invest in UK stocks to avoid extra fees e.g FX
What fund/ stock to pick?
What is the best way to navigate between different funds and there fees, e.g. S&P 500 funds? If
one was the best with lowest fees, why doesn't everyone use it?
Why, when I search up funds on Yahoo finance can there sometimes be quite a big difference
between different trackers? E.g. Yesterday one Nasdaq 100 Trackr ended the day +0.32 and
another - 0.12
Why is there different stocks for the same company on Yahoo finance? If they are a singular
company, why are there different ‘trackers’ and not just one result from the actual company
itself.
Fidelity International problems
It seems to say my stock has gone way lower than it actually has. Does the original investing
fee get added into the percentage change?
Thank you so much for any advice at all🙏
