Fx fees take a sum

Tinvest
This was the information i needed and i believe most people new to brokers would find this more than helpful instead of reading it from a source. The usd dollar account is what i need then, just have to dmor.
You have your vwrp in a pension so you get the government contribution… added with compound interest and time. The only downside is the restriction is you cant use it till 50ish?.

Nice, i didnt think of that yet, uk holdings in isa so no fx fee, and usa holdings/stocks in usd dollar account and long term holds. Ive mostly just kept my etfs in the isa and my gia is for every currency stock.
Im playing in the gia until i have made some money ontop of wages and thinking of investing it into another isa on vanguardinvestor. Not sure about having all my savings in one broker.

Thanks for clearing that up for me full proceeds. I have seen many forum posts about charles schwab and i might try that one. Ill just send a large sum and have one fx fee payment, then trading in usd on stocks will have no fx fees cause no currency conversion. Once ive finished playing in usd i will have to pay another fx fee to get it back into gbp. Just getting to grips with it all.

In future i think ill open a sipp and somehow move my etfs in the isas to it, if thats possible.
Seems like i have fomo for those govt contributions.
