Welcome.

Seriously what is your secret :smiley:

Hi everyone! I am Paul

Was referred to freetrade by a friend and have not looked back since.

My goal is to maximize the value of my savings at the lowest cost possible.

Having an asset management background, I am aware how difficult it is to actively outperform the market return. Adding high management fees on top makes out performance next to impossible!

This is why i love freetrade and look forward to sharing my findings with the community.

Hi All,

I’m Jon - been lurking for a bit after investing in R5 and transferring my ISA across. Loving what Freetrade is doing in making investing more accessible.

Bit of background - former financial regulator now in industry looking after market conduct and a range of other regulatory bits and bobs (primarily MiFID/EMIR/Conduct Risk for those who enjoy that stuff!) for a commercial bank.

Was flying high in the FT Fantasy League but currently flying back down the table…

Hi Viktor!

Really smooth - much more so than the last time I switched platforms (though made sure to sell everything into cash first). The team kept me up to date during the switch-over period too - really good experience.

P.S. I think you’re probably still doing better in the Fantasy League than me, I’m languishing mid-table…
