Editorial review

Interactive Investor (ii) is het op een na grootste beleggingsplatform in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, opgericht in 1995 en gereguleerd door de FCA. Het platform werkt met een maandabonnementsmodel in plaats van procentuele vermogenskosten. Vanaf februari 2026 gelden de volgende tarieven: Core (£5,99/maand), Plus (£14,99/maand) en Premium (£39,99/maand). Elke transactie kost £3,99; periodiek beleggen is gratis. Het platform biedt toegang tot meer dan 40.000 beleggingsproducten, inclusief fondsen, aandelen, ETF's, ISA's en SIPP's.

Het vaste maandtarief maakt ii bijzonder voordelig voor beleggers met grotere portefeuilles. Wie €100.000 of meer belegt, betaalt procentueel veel minder dan bij platforms die een percentage van het vermogen rekenen. Maandabonnementen bevatten ook handelskredieten die de effectieve kosten per transactie verder verlagen. Met meer dan 40.000 beleggingen is de keuze ruim.

Voor kleine portefeuilles of beleggers die weinig transacties uitvoeren, kan het maandtarief echter zwaar wegen. Handelskredieten vervallen maandelijks en zijn dus niet overdraagbaar. ii is het meest geschikt voor Britse beleggers met een omvangrijke portefeuille die zekerheid willen over hun maandelijkse platformkosten en toegang zoeken tot een breed fondsenaanbod inclusief pensioenproducten.
