Saving for your future is a great idea and there is no shortage of companies that will help you set up an ISA, SIPP, or brokerage account. Hargreaves Lansdown and Fidelity International are both top-tier financial service providers who offer UK savers a wide variety of investment options.
Hargreaves Lansdown and Fidelity International are both large companies that have decades of positive performance to support their reputations. Of the two Hargreaves Lansdown has a smaller amount of assets under management, at more than £80 billion. Fidelity International has over £250 billion under management and dates back to the 1960s.
The last decade has seen a range of new investment options hit the market, and major investment companies like Hargreaves Lansdown and Fidelity International have evolved to compete with mobile-only brokers that offer cut-rate ETFs and automated investments.
Setting up an ISA or SIPP is a very good idea. An ISA is a perfect place to stash some rainy-day funds, and if you have extra income, a SIPP is a great way to invest in your pension with a little bit of help from the UK government.

If you are looking for an investment company that can grow with you, both Hargreaves Lansdown and Fidelity International fit the bill.
One of the nice things about Hargreaves Lansdown and Fidelity International is that either company can give you great investment options for an ISA, SIPP, brokerage account (taxed as normal), or all three!
It is worth remembering that while both Hargreaves Lansdown and Fidelity International have low barriers to account opening, you will need to have a small amount of money saved up to use either one of the companies.
If this is a challenge for you, just open up a free account at one of the mobile-only retirement platforms, and then transfer it to Hargreaves Lansdown or Fidelity International later on.
The actual fees and account opening minimums are all listed below, and it won’t take long to save up enough to use either one of these companies. Once you have an account, it will be easy to expand into other services they offer if you want to.
Fidelity International—Account Types & Fees
Fidelity International is a global heavyweight in retail investments. It has around £80 billion in client funds under management in the UK, and more than three times that globally. The company offers many of the same types of services that Hargreaves Lansdown does.
Visit Fidelity ISA Visit Fidelity SIPP
Here are some of the account options that Fidelity International has:
- Fidelity ISA
Fidelity International offers UK residents an ISA account that can be opened with as little as £50 being deposited per month. The funds can be invested in a range of assets, including funds, unit trusts, and interest-bearing investments. There is no charge to open an ISA with Fidelity (other than the minimum balance), and other ISAs can be transferred to Fidelity without charge (from Fidelity). - Fidelity SIPP
A Fidelity SIPP will let you put money away every year until you decide to retire (the money can generally be accessed without penalty at age 55). Unlike traditional pension plans, a SIPP allows you to stay in control of how your retirement is invested. Most of the same investment types that would be possible in a Fidelity ISA will be available to Fidelity SIPP accounts, and the fee structure (discussed below) is in-line with the rest of the industry. - Fidelity Junior ISA and SIPP
In addition to ISAs and SIPPs for adults, Fidelity has account options for people under the age of 18. Both ISAs and SIPPs can be opened for people under 18 by an authorized person, and the range of investments that are available are basically the same as the ISAs and SIPPs that an adult can hold. - The minimum deposit is the same as an adult ISA at £50 deposited per month. At the moment a Junior ISA can be funded to the tune of £4128 per year, and a Junior SIPP will receive a 20% tax relief up to 0% tax relief for investments up to £2880 (the same as an adult SIPP), which increases the total investment to £3600 on a yearly basis.
- Fidelity International Trading Account
If you have already maxed out your tax-efficient retirement savings, or want to have money that can be accessed without penalty at any time, the Fidelity International Trading Account could be a good fit for you. It will allow you to invest directly in numerous ETFs and unit trusts. Any gains will be taxed normally, but you can use the money at any time, and for any reason. - Fidelity Pathfinder
Fidelity Pathfinder is a program that is designed along the lines of an automated investment adviser (‘robo advisor‘). Pathfinder will ask you a number of questions about your investment goals, timeframe, and lifestyle. - Once it has done this, Fidelity Pathfinder will recommend investment products that fit your profile. The fees that this service would incur are based on the funds you invest in, and could reach as high as 2%+ per year. Needless to say, there are numerous robos in the marketplace that are far cheaper options.
Fidelity International Fee Structure
Fidelity International has a range of fees that it charges on its investment products, which will generally be added to the base costs listed below. Smaller account probably won’t have much wiggle room with these fees, but larger account holder may be able to bargain with Fidelity International over what fees are charged on their account.
ISA and SIPP Fees:
Accounts that hold less than £7,500 with Fidelity International will be charged 0.35% annually if the account holder has a regular savings plan, or £45 if they don’t. This drops to £25 for Junior ISAs, though the annual percentage is the same. Accounts with between £7,500 and £250,000 are charged 0.35% regardless of a savings plan, and accounts with between £250,000 and £1 million are charged 0.20%. At the £1 million level the fees are dropped, with the exception of the first £1 million.
Fidelity International—The Rundown
Fidelity International has grown to become one of the world’s foremost retail investment companies by delivering solid results regardless of the market. It has a wide range of unit trusts and ETFs that its clients can invest in, and specializes in leveraging Modern Portfolio Theory for its clients.
There are many active and passive funds that Fidelity International clients can choose from, and it has account options for UK savers that want to maximize the amount of money they can set aside on a tax-efficient basis.
One of the only downsides to Fidelity International is that it doesn’t offer a way to buy and sell shares directly, which has become more popular in recent years. That said, it is easy enough to open up a brokerage or ISA account that will allow you to buy and sell shares and still use Fidelity as a place to stack up cash for the long-term.

For accounts over £1 million, the rate Hargreaves Lansdown charges falls to 0.1%, and at the £2 million level, there is no fee to invest your ISA with the company.
Depending on the kind of financial instruments you choose to invest in, there could be additional fees. Some funds and trading activities will incur costs, which will be added to the above-listed fees. There is no charge to open an ISA or SIPP with Hargreaves Lansdown, and old funds can be transferred to the company without additional charges.
Hargreaves Lansdown Annuities and Savings Products

Hargreaves Lansdown—The Rundown
Hargreaves Lansdown is a solid choice for anyone who wants to deal with a top-tier investment firm that has a wide range of products and services.
Like many investment firms, Hargreaves Lansdown is competing in an economy where investors have many more options at lower rates. This has driven the fees that larger investment companies like Hargreaves Lansdown can charge lower, and today, the fees at the company are very competitive.
Recently Hargreaves Lansdown eliminated an ‘exit fee’ that had been a point of contention, which had charged investors when they moved money outside of the company. Now it is totally free to both enter and exit the Hargreaves Lansdown family of funds and services, regardless of where the money is coming from or going.
Overall, Hargreaves Lansdown is a good investment company for anyone who wants to set money aside for the future, and have loads of options for investing it.

What are ISAs and SIPPs?
As promised, here is a (very) brief explanation of what an Individual Savings Account (ISA) and a Self Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) are:
ISA
An ISA is a tax-efficient way to set money aside for your retirement or a number of other things. Qualified UK residents can set aside up to £20,000 on an annual basis, and withdraw that money tax-free, as long as it is used for an approved reason.
Related posts about ISAs:

- Guide to Lifetime ISAs
SIPP
A SIPP is an account that is to be used specifically for your retirement. Qualified UK residents can save as much as £40,000 on a yearly basis, and the UK government will add an additional 20% to whatever is saved. The money can’t be touched until you are 55, and will be taxed when it is taken out of the SIPP (with the exception of a one-time lump sum payment at 55, which can be up to 25% of the account).

Which Company is a Better Choice for Me?
It is impossible to make general statements about how well either Fidelity International or Hargreaves Lansdown would work for your individual investment needs. Both companies have a great track record of riding out market turbulence, and both offer a huge variety of investment options.
One of the biggest things that both platforms lack is a deep automated investment platform, which have become extremely popular.

On the other hand, Fidelity International and Hargreaves Lansdown offer a huge range of funds and savings options, and both have a range of options when it comes to how you interact with the company. If you don’t like the idea of being stuck with a mobile app to manage your retirement, these companies are great options.
Of course, the electronic and mobile interfaces that Fidelity International and Hargreaves Lansdown have created are great and totally fine for a younger person who can’t stand waiting on the phone to talk to a human. So far as creditworthiness goes, it is hard to find better companies in the retail investment market.
If you are considering setting up an ISA or SIPP, both Fidelity International & Hargreaves Lansdown are worth your consideration. Either one will be able to give you a huge range of investment options and make sure you have easy access to both high and low-risk investments.
