What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve faced at Freetrade to date (other than doing an AMA)
I’ve dug out this post from the archive:
Nutmeg have nailed the intuitive graph, I think.
Edit: quoted post not showing the graph unless you tap through:
100% agree
Where did you get that from @Wulfy?
Freetrade shared it at the start of 2021 on twitter. Was very cryptic at the time
They kept on teasing
It was noted earlier in the year that we should expect to see in 2021 the launch of the option to lend shares we own to other market participants? Will this still be a new feature?
Hi Duncan,
What’s your favourite feature in another app, can be investing related or not, that you would like to add to the Freetrade app?
Isn’t the graph you’re referring to already shown on the performance page within the app. I think the decision to include deposits in the main graph is that the platform is mainly aimed at being a way to make savings.
With the current events happening my question would be, Do Freetrade have a non-spin plan to be carbon neutral? And if so can you expand on it?

They personally offset every share bought with a green ETF.
What are some of the biggest challenges you face as a product designer? And what would you do if a client says “I don’t like that?”
Hi Ducan,
I’d like to know when you’ll support employer contributions to a SIPP.
There must be a vast well of people with their workplace pensions going into underperforming funds who would prefer to manage their own investments. Currently you don’t support employer contributions, which means the only option for those people is to make regular partial withdrawals and move them to your SIPP. However many funds don’t support this (like People’s Pension), meaning there is no way for them to switch to your SIPP. So the only option for them is to ask their employer to pay into a different fund. I’ve already cleared this with mine, but you don’t support it, so having to look elsewhere (which I don’t want to do).
I liked the mega zoom AMAs!
Timeline for Nationality Declaration stocks?
Hi Duncan,
I’d be interested to hear any updates you have on the progress and potential timeline you may have for the Autopilot feature. It has been close to the top of various community wish lists consistently and will surely be very popular when it finally drops.
Where is the god damn Christmas list?
Also- can you quote the question you’re replying to rather than just replying, so I don’t have to keep losing my place, ta!
Hi @Duncan
Are you able to talk a little about the improved withdrawal experience? The current friction is something we see in the forum a fair bit.
I think all new staff that are told to do an AMA should be armed with 1 new product/policy date/confirmation Call it a starters gift for them to share with the community
