There is a significant move towards ethical investments. Do you plan any features that would make this easier?

Great AMA yesterday guys, thanks @Viktor and @adam!
Personally, amongst all the great discussions and info, the most pleasing thing I heard is that @adam shares my desire to see more ETFs in the stock universe!! We desperately need more ETFs!! Almost all of my requests in the community forum are for ETFsā¦ @Viktor is it possible that a batch of ETFs can come with the new UK stocks later this year once the US stocks are added this coming week??
In the words of Arnold Schwarzeneggerā¦ āDO IT, DO IT NOWWWW!!!ā

One thing they did say yesterday was that those who pay for Plus will have a wider stock universe then those who have the Basic account
Edit: also features like limit orders would also be reserved for Plus customers
I agree. I think itās a poor decision.
Adam also seemed to think that paying for Plus would be classed as the same as paying for Netflix, Spotify etc by customersā¦ And the impression I got was as they charge approx Ā£10 so will FT.
I fear FT have misunderstood their customer demographic, especially as they keep saying that they donāt just want millennials.

Iāve not read too much of this thread and thoughts on the ama as I missed it, howeverā¦
From the last few replies, why charge for limit orders, wider stock pool etc. When competitors are doing the same thing for free? Ā£9.99 is alot for the target audience, where they want fractional investments with spare change, or lower investment values?
Surely only people with a higher disposable amount of money to be able to invest will be able to afford 9.99 a month and not eat into their profits / available cash

I donāt think 9.99 for a Bolt on service is a bad idea much cheaper than aj bell and Hargreaves in the longer picture.
I think so too for those with larger portfolios. Iād hope there is another tier with slightly fewer additional features for those with portfolios of say a couple grand or so to be worth while for them. We may see that it is compelling for those with smaller portfolios too but will need to wait and see whatās included

If your portfolio is only a few thousand pounds then it makes no sense to be paying any fees whatsoever as the fees will massively impact your performance.

Letās see the Plusā features first.
It might make sense to purchase it for a month to get access to limit orders, for example, even with a small portfolio.
The golden rule is always keep your costs below 1% of your portfolio. Otherwise it has to grow by roughly 3% every year just to maintain its real value. Given that many experts believe stocks will return 3-5% per annum over the coming decades it seems like a bad idea to put yourself at a disadvantage like that.

Thatās why I think a mid tier may still be attractive to many more people too but letās see the features first.
